There are two issues with older phones running more slowly, and you are probably encountering both of them

1. Newer versions of iOS demand more processing power because they do more (or perhaps do it less efficiently).

2. Old batteries can't deliver as much power.

So an old phone will new version of the OS mores slowly than a new one, regardless of the battery situation.

But, if the battery was marginal but hadn't hit the limit before the upgrade, then you get a double whammy

1. The phone simply can't run a more demanding OS as fast as the old one

2. The increased demand pushes the battery over the limit

At some point, the battery was going to age out anyway, so it was only a matter of time until you hit the second issue. But the upgrade made you hit it sonner rather than later.
Maybe we can split the difference. Chrome == IE because of breaking standards, and Safari == IE because it is so far behind on supporting standards.

Also, both Chrome OS and iOS, both have integrated their browser into their OS and don't allow competition from other browsers on their platforms.

Is that a fair assessment?
Then you are not a proponent of an Open web, you are a lazy developer.
Indeed I am. Clearly there must be some factor that resulted in the difference in the ability to delay -- whatever that factor is called, it has to be the "means."

Why should you wait 15 minutes to get another one instead of eating the one you have now? Imagine two kids, one with abundance and another with nothing. Intelligence and other temperamental traits aside, do you think there'd be any difference in their inclination to wait?

I obviously can't say for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised. There are also other things that others have criticized about the experiment:

1. Desire for sweets -- maybe one doesn't like sweets

2. Preexisting hunger

3. The premise that 2 marshmallows are superior to 1.

etc.

I still think it was a good experiment, but it's hardly the end-all-be-all.

I've read the "journalists lean left, owners lean right" mantra many, many of times over the last 10 years on various boards, yet the overwhelming majority of network news and shows, cable news and entertainment shows dump on Republicans/Conservatism and fawn over Democrats/Liberalism.

"Dark art" is really glorifying what those desk jockeys do.

It's just a bunch of organized paid trolls with fancy ideas about themselves and what they do, because it's all secret-y and covert-y, but really, they're incompetent people who after slamming their head against the problem many times have group-devised by trial-and-error rather nifty ways of manipulating online conversations.

Any place where you can add a comment is manipulable, but their manipulations only work if people aren't aware of their existence in the comments section and of their good-cop / bad-cop group tactics, the methodological flaws of anonymous online voting and why noise-flooding works.
This post gives us an estimate for what percentage of the iPhones are getting throttled by this issue. I think it's reasonable to use this as a proxy to estimate how many units were at risk of shutting down and it is the minority of units. Happily it appears both of your devices are in the majority of units which don't exhibit this issue.

Is this a common practice in the cryptocurrency community? Seems sort of pointless to put flaws and bugs in an open source project as copy protection instead of just keeping it closed source.

I've heard similar quotes before, and always assumed the speaker meant that they didn't want everyone to be a old/white/guy, not that they didn't want anyone who was a old/white/guy.

Context matters a lot - such quotes are usually said in reference to a company's leadership team, and there's quite a bit of truth to them. When you look at the list of CEOs/Senior-Executives/Board-members at Fortune 500 companies, it's overwhelmingly middle-aged/old white men. I would consider that just as problematic as the age-discrimination that the article was referring to.
I'm actually British, Canadian and Polish, and I live in the US. I've lived in Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia and Saipan. I've had the opportunity to live under many different systems. Of course, Canada has done shameful things in the past, as has virtually every other nation. I mean, Quebec was a world leader in the export of chrysotile asbestos until 2012. I hardly think you can point to past systems as a reason the current is deficient.

There are plenty of things Canada can do better, too: universal drug benefit, universal dental and vision, childcare, not exporting asbestos so much, etc. I can honestly say though, its a much better way to live up there than down here. You can point to what your taxes do, like allow you to live without the fear of crushing medical debt at any moment. So you pay them without the same amount of tooth gnashing.
> The majority of the functionality that we care about in our web browsers comes from an open source library.

Apparently ternary is the 'sweet spot' for computing because it's closer to e (2.7...). We used binary for a while because on / off was the only way we processed stuff but now we have the ability to do ternary with more accurate measures of voltage? Something like that.

Apparently ternary makes math easier in terms of signs etc. as well. The below article explains it better.

I get it, but the code is still there. What if Apache httpd came with a commercial module that was disabled by default but bundled with the base package? It’s not THAT bad compared to what some software companies do, but...why do it at all? Is Mozilla getting paid, similar to using !Google as the default search engine? If so, it’s more understandable. If not, what is the justification for not just making it a regular add-on?
> The real problem is that players are getting tricked into installing a "free" game but later sucked into gambling once they're invested and addicted.

Not to say these gambling mechanics aren't reprehensible but you're focusing on the wrong thing. There is no "tricking" involved; games with in-app purchases are clearly labelled and gambling-like mechanisms are so standard now that it would be more surprising to find a popular game with IAP that _didn't_ use a gambling-like mechanism than one that did.

The easiest way to get an IP rating is to use lots of glue.

If they went the o-ring route, it would take up more volume and would probably require replacement when the phone was opened as damage from dirt/age will make reusing the o-ring hard. Even worse is that resuse isn’t obvious to a layperson as it could be IP69 with a new o-ring and IP67 with reused o-ring.

I don't think the EV often goes over 1 though, because of the multiple winner situation. I.e. even if the jackpot is 150 million with 1:100 million odds to win... there is a chance there is 2 or more winners who SPLIT the jackpot.

There have been cases of people buying out all the numbers.. and there are times when it is worth the risk.. but not really relevant to my store. Millions of people buy lotto tickets every day, with an EV of .5.
Their goals are less outwardly evil than 1990s-era Microsoft, and that makes me think they have a much better chance at succeeding.
From the details I've read it was hovering at a very low altitude above the water. From normal cruising height down to right above the waves at visual range in a short period of time is probably a bit aggressive. As I've heard one former fighter pilot describe, the military has no interest in losing trained pilots and jets. If you really follow all the rules they have to keep you away from risky areas when it isn't necessary, there's a very low chance you'll ever encounter an enemy Mig, etc. So with that said, following procedure when encountering a UFO, a steep dive to very low altitude in close proximity to an unidentified phenomenon is probably not something many crewmen would immediately jump at.

Even if any of this is accurate and true, replacing a battery in my older phone did absolutely nothing for increase in performance. This is undoubtably planned obsolesce.
You're mistaking a claim that a group of people based on their ethno-religious background is either worthless or to be blamed for multiple world issues (which historically led to killing them) with an opinion we can be respectful about.
I keep looking at ClojureScript, and decide to try it. And then I get to the "requires JDK" and just turn around and walk out the door. It seems like an interesting language, but it would be nice to have it run without that requirement.
And what battery did you (GP) replace the original with?
I think one reason is that if you already know a project as a user you're a long way up the learning curve for understanding it. You know roughly what its feature set is, you know how new features would fit in with the existing ones, you know how to do basic "does this thing work" testing of it. You probably have an idea of what changes are likely to be small tweaks to existing functionality and what are bigger and harder. Knowing the shape of the outside of something makes it easier to understand the inside of it. If you start out with a contribution to a project you don't use, you don't have that initial base to build on and so it's harder.

Which isn't to say it's impossible, of course -- people getting new jobs working on proprietary software have to get up to speed with programs they probably never used before. It's just time consuming. The "what should I work on?" question implies that the asker has no preference, so answers optimising for what's easier to get started with make sense.
I have to admit I thought it was some kind of meta joke about the state of development right now.

See above mentioned Google Earth, Google Hangouts, the early releases of Google Inbox, Google Allo, and WhatsApp Web, as well as the early releases of Signal Web.

> It’s not as bad as the IE situation yet

See above why it is just as bad as the IE situation.

Oh, and "IE was preinstalled" – Chrome runs malicious, misleading advertisements everywhere to get users to install Chrome, and when that wasn’t enough, they started paying companies to secretly install Chrome with their installer (same as what the Ask Toolbar, or BonzaiBuddy did – except, now it’s Google offering 30 million EUR to VLC to include it, and that project denying it and publishing that info).

No, it's not. I assumed that it was 'like cartographers putting in fake streets into maps' and put that to them.

It seems like you're analyzing all of these situations assuming that one side is correct. If you already know everything then obviously you're going to be a benevolent dictator.

There's no obvious delineation between belief and action and a the gist of what I was replying to was along the lines of 'can people work with each other even tho they have strong and significant differences in their beliefs or opinions'.

There's no way to even know a person's beliefs without some action on their part.

Take Brendan Eich – he donated to a group that was engaging in 'speech'. Are you claiming that all 'speech' is action? So how exactly is someone stating that they're a Muslim not an action in the same way? Are you saying it would be fine if Eich believed that gay marriage should remain illegal as long as he never expressed that belief in any way to anyone?
It's not that I'm aware of, but color-forth is a thing.

The point is that this is not something that is so computationally intensive that it would prevent it from running in real time, even when matching the filtering quality of PRman.

> > Render farm nodes are typically built with memory to CPU core ratios that match as the main priority.
>That doesn't contradict what I said, at all.

You said that render farms focus on texture caching, and I'm telling you that is not true. I've built large render farms and the topic never comes up. Textures aren't nearly the focal point you are making them out to be.

> I doubt that was true for Toy Story, and it was not true for the films I worked on circa Toy Story. Textures usage was "out of core" at the time.

If you were rendering in real time, there would be no reason to unload textures from GPU memory and then put the textures back into GPU memory, so this isn't relevant. Film is rendered one frame at a time, however if the Reyes architecture were running in real time, the same workflow used for 2 hour frames would not be practical, nor does it weigh on whether real time would be possible here.

> You certainly can load textures on demand on a GPU, you just don't get any performance gain over a CPU when you do that.

That assumes that GPUs' only advantage is due to memory bandwidth, which isn't true, though that is irrelevant here, since there are plenty of GPUs with much more memory than the computers used to render Toy Story.

> Aside from Toy Story era assets, in-core GPU textures are not possible with today's film texture & geometry sizes. Film frames with good filtering can easily access terabytes of texture.
> GPU core memory size & bandwidth is the single main determinant of whether studios can use GPUs for rendering today. Getting large (film sized, not game sized) amounts of geometry & textures onto a GPU is the main problem.

I'm not sure why you suddenly focused on modern GPU rendering for film. This thread was about whether Toy Story could be rendered in real time on modern GPUs, not modern film assets.
what's so special is that modern iPhone CPUs are as fast as laptop CPUs (when untrottled).

Is it ALL old phones based upon aggregate statistics and a heuristic, or are they monitoring supply voltage. Apple have not, to my knowledge, provided any data to support their claim. And even if they did, batteries vary in quality, even from the same batch. Why not a setting you can override? It is a MASSIVE performance hit. This feels a lot like Epson or whoever blocking old or third party supplies to "assure peak performance". People hate that but put up with this?

Edit: In case the subtext wasn't clear, without battery wear data, evidence of these power related resets, or active opt-in to the throttling, this behaviour is identical to an artificial hobbling of old phones to encourage future hardware sales. Yadda yadda lawyers.
My 3 year old LG G3 had the exact same issue that Apple was trying to prevent. It would randomly shut down at ~50% battery, and restart at ~10%. It was ultimately fixed with a battery swap.

This happened during a period in my life when I absolutely needed my phone to be functional. I can honestly say that I'd rather have the CPU throttled, than to have to experience random shutdowns.

BeOS did some tricks with the MMU to catch overruns but didn't have proper memory protection (in 1999 anyway, when I last used it). Any app could scribble on the kernel and hardware devices.

This was part of why the graphics felt so flippin fast: appkit just wrote to the GPU & framebuffer itself. No need for any context switches.

One may be natural law theory (and within that context, you have e.g. the perverted faculty argument, among others). Unfortunately, given the poor state of philosophical literacy, I don't imagine that convincing supporters of gay marriage without the requisite education.
