Buy Your Organization Devices
Bring Your Own Device is an appealing concept for many users.

But when companies require installing software such as VMWare's Air Watch [1] which restrict usage and allow for monitoring and remote wipe, short of leaving your job and taking it with you, to what extent is it really your own device anymore?

Market survey types are predicting continued rises in BYOD rollouts[2] but is it ethical to have employees paying for company controlled devices?

Interestingly, if you rewrite the function with a more general type such as

checkCapacity' :: forall f. Functor f => Int -> (ZonedTime -> f Int) -> Reservation -> f (Either Error Reservation)

you can guarantee that any effects in the final result only come from the function you supplied to it, i.e. checkCapacity' cannot add any effects of its own(Also, it can only "run" the function exactly once).

The type of the arguments of checkCapacity' are also a strict generalisation of the arguments to

checkCapacity :: Int -> (ZonedTime -> IO Int) -> Reservation -> Either Error Reservation

meaning that any valid arguments to checkCapacity are valid for checkCapacity' as well.

Indian outsourcing firms were not that cheap to begin with. Their target market were companies that will choose to outsource even when net monetary benefit does not exceed say 15%.

Now Russian outsourcing companies pop here and there, billing US companies not 85% of the US market rate, but 50% or less.

Who cares? There's a difference between "really good" (spendy) and "good enough" (free). If you're a small business, you don't really need SEO. You just need to provide information to your customers.

You can of course pay for SEO, but that's my whole point. At some point, you're not willing to pay $50(USD) an hour to get the last few percent of profit, especially if your gross income is fairly small.
OK, thanks, I think it's a great idea, especially if it can run other runtimes like Node.js or JVM

Of course this could be all answered in the paper but it is a physics paper not a business or economics paper.
As a side note, I'm often amazed at the presence US Army has in Germany with > 30,000 military personell and 36 military installations.

This is how good talent views any kind of tests. I can't blame them.

There is no other professional industry in the world, where candidates with 6+ years of professional success are asked to sit a god damned test every time they apply for a job. Insulting doesn't even begin to describe the problem with this concept. Don't get me wrong, I understand where the need for testing came from, but that doesn't change the fact that actually good candidates are put off by it and tend to dismiss employers who do it.
And additionally, the phonetics itself is more complex than needed. Spanish has only 5 vowel sounds, corresponding to the 5 vowels of the Latin alphabet, as does Japanese. English has 20. This is quite a big deal for learning when your native language has a smaller phonetic inventory. My English level is officially C2 (the highest level in the EU framework) and still, I have to think for a second or two before using the words "sheet" and "shit"...
As an Indian CSE student, I agree with this. But there's more. The downfall of IT industry, and general decrease in need of IT engineers, is finally decreasing the amount of students joining engineering.

Admissions on avg are 50% of capacity, with many colleges having less 30%. This will lead to closure of many sub-par quality colleges, which I hope will improve overall quality of Indian IT engineers.

Also MITM still gets to decide whether to have tls or not. Then "Why even have tls ?". If MITM is blocking a protocol (or higher version, which is equivalent), then there is nothing to be done.

My hackintosh experience is similar to my (decade long) Linux on the desktop experience: always tweaking to get something working a little better. As the author notes these are fine experiences if you want to learn about hardware and your OS, but if this isn't your goal there are better options.
For the ends justify the means part, each time China went through a major revolutionary attempt in the last 150 years or so it led to incredible amounts of human suffering (on the orders of millions to tens of millions of deaths each time) and blatant foreign exploitation of their country, and some of those revolutions were for dumber things than a call to democracy (I find the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to be particularly interesting, where a guy who thought he was a literal descendent of Jesus Christ caused a rebellion that lead to the deaths of possibly around 20 million people). I could see why they would want to take extreme measures to maintain stability, especially given how difficult it was to maintain China as a unified country that could stand up against western imperialist exploitation. Once again, not saying it’s moral nor that there wasn’t some amount of a selfish attempt to maintain control, but it’s not so black and white, especially in a society with such a strongly collectivist mentality like China; and arguably, unified control in fact was the primary deficit in Chinese government and primary cause of social instability in China since the days of the Qing Dynasty.

As for alternatives, I have no good alternatives, but what I can say is that while people from the USA decry authoritarian rule as being 100% evil, it’s hard to ignore how efficiently it has been working in the Chinese case. In a developing country being inefficient at developing has real human consequences, prolonging disease, hunger, malnutrition, undereducation, and lack of opportunity for incredibly large numbers of people. So I don’t believe that opting for a maximally representative but likely significantly less efficient form of government is necessarily a good choice for all countries, which seems to be the subtext of many people who draw a hard line on the Chinese government’s misdeeds, and proceed to label it as uniformly detestable, without considering the potential human cost of its alternatives. As for whether installing a democratic government at that point in China’s history would have been successful or even possible at that time would have been a huge uncertainty, even with what we know today.
Lag is probably the wrong word. It's a misconception that adoption should be instant. It took a good 50 years for the electric motor to supplant the steam engine, despite it being superior in virtually every way. Tech adoption takes time, given that many things need to be re-learnt/engineered.

It's why i'm positive that there won't be swathes of unemployeed people due to tech. It will happen gradually, as it has always been, and people will have to be shifted into different and more productive employment types. It has always happened this way, and will likely continue to do so.
here's some data from my niche site (colormind.io)

sessions per month: 43000

actual ad rates: 0.72cpm

actual ctr: 0.27% (280 clicks)

predicted revenue: 742

actual revenue (november): 73.87 (carbon ads)

wonder if it's really possible to 10x ad revenue with a tracking ad network. I suspect this might require much more intrusive ads though.
I couldn't get to the site, but assuming this is running Linux I wrote a paper about how fast you could boot a Linux minimal userspace on QEMU a couple of years ago[1]. In short if you're willing to heavily customize the kernel, qemu and userspace then you can get it down to 100-150ms on i7-type hardware, but probably not much lower. Using a distro kernel, distro qemu and so on, you're stuck with 400-600ms (which is fine for certain uses, eg better security for containers like Kata Containers is doing).

Also worth noting I wrote a bunch of benchmarking tools to help optimize this case[2].

Yes, author, but now you learned! Also, next time, you can build a Hackintosh in a shorter time.

I'm also kind of amazed at the "4K display is not large enough" section. That would be a screen about 4 times the size of my current monitor, is working quite well for me. I suppose it's like thinking "640K is all the meomory anyone would need in a computer".
Whatever it is, there's still a shortage of skills everywhere in IT sector.
I really never understood overclocking, firmware replacements or hackintosh cultures.

Back in time I installed OS X ( Mountain Lion ) on an i7 / 16GB desktop PC.

Was working quite nice, but missing some core functionality like iMessage / Cloud sync.

Biggest benefit of this was the >feeling< of freedom for upgrading and replacing hardware components.

That was long time ago and things got worse on Apple side for upgradeability.

I'm right now stuck with MBP 2011, because I don't want to spend fortune on top-class MBP with Max RAM and Max HDD ( If you can't upgrade, better take those anyway ).
I've been using a Hackintosh for the last 7 years. (For work)

At most I've spent a day to get some quirks of new hardware to work, but all of the 3 upgrades I've done throughout the years has basically worked directly.

And with Clover bootloader, it's even easier than it's ever been.

The key is to pay attention to what hardware to use, the tonymacx86 buyers guide is great for the most part but sometime the recommendations are too early so you might have to live with a few quirks like USB testing and limiting.

Right now I'm using an Gigabyte Z170-HD3, Intel i5 6600K, 32GB DDR4, 1x M.2, 6x SSDs and 2x HDDs and Nvidia 1080 Ti without a hitch.

I'm even using MacOS on my new HP Envy 13 without any issues.
Always check tonymac his best buyersguide before building.

nvidia cards is a way better idea than AMD for a hackintosh.
Indeed I also would never recommend building a hackintosh (built 3 myself). It is not for the faint-hearted, you will fail numerous times, and even when you are done, chances that everything breaks after a minor update is always in the realm of possibility.
The price you can't beat tho, a RAM or SSD upgrade for a real mac is just absurd.
What do you think about Google not allowing iOS or Firefox to become cast sources, or FireTV to act as a cast target? Does that piss you off, or are your feelings of outrage only limited to our own personal convenience?
The title is odd in that it sounds like there's some expectation of a process here that is failing.

The conclusion fits with what I've found as a natural progression of my approach to tech as I've aged.

Late teens to early 20s had they been a thing I absolutely would have invested time in building a hackintosh and enjoyed the time spent solving the problems. Nowadays (40ish) I wouldn't even build my own gaming PC anymore. I want to exchange money for something that works as I expect when I need it and have done with it and at best swap a GPU or SSD sometime.

You can build and set up a Hackintosh in a day og you just follow Tonymacx86’s guide. It has a list og builds with working components. Just buy them, set it up, install Mac OS and it just works.

Even if we claim that "real AI" is a system that can actively perform at human levels in creative tasks, I wouldn't believe that it will always be in the future. However, I don't think this is very near, and I think this is sort of what people are implying when they talk about AI. To me saying "general AI is what we're exploring and making mini-discoveries in" is a kind of apology. Unfortunately, this apology pushes us into a grey area where "AI" is really just the scientific artifice. That's not the same as AI that has auto-creative capacities.

I never said extract money, I said extract wealth.

Increasing the cost of living by targetting positive inflation. If you're poor and the cost of living goes up the relative margin of survival decreases faster than for the wealthy.

Let's say you spend 98% and there's 1% inflation. Your margin of survival goes down 50%, whereas someone spending 20% barely feels it.

If you have more questions, my contact is in the profile. This is only scratching the surface.
TL;DR: a Hackintosh isn't good for his use case. He's actually one of the few remaining categories that Apple is specifically targeting.

Item one: He tried to use an AMD video card. That's mistake #1 right there. In spite of AMD being the default OS X graphics, it's a royal pain to make an off the shelf card work in a hackintosh, while nvidia just works. Check the 'why not AMD cards' thread on tonymac...

Item two: he seems to want the advanced graphics capabilities that are still a good reason to buy a genuine mac in the first place. Better to buy a real Mac in this case.

Item three: he hasn't hand built a PC in 20 years. And since he's doing video work, he's probably not very technical either. If you're familiar with messing with a unix-like operating system at a lower level, it's fairly easy to fix all those little problems.

Now if you're a programmer doing native code, I'd still recommend doing a hackintosh; Apple has no hardware for you, so you might as well roll your own. For desktops, that is. Also get an apple made macbook pro for portability. Maybe the one without the emoji keyboard though.
Is the author somewhat notable?

The premise: I read on the net and watched youtube is quite strange to judge if something is viable or not. Personally, with my own PC built by myself (but not installing macOs), assembling the hardware (and overclocking) should be nothing difficult.

The only take for me: if you attempt building hardware for an OS with limited support for the said hardware, you might be in for a surprise - which doesn't come as a surprise.
Regarding (1) that is why I love resource handling in .NET, Java, Android, and the executable file formats on Windows and OS X derived OSes.

Sadly UNIX never got to agree how to handle resources.

Article from 2011, but nothing has changed afaik...
While I can see that the author says that if they had just put the time it took them into getting it up and running and bought an iMac Pro instead, one thing to keep in mind that is that you can upgrade your hackintosh. Over the years, I have had three different graphics cards, added more memory and added three hard drives. In the four years I've been running my machine I've yet to feel the need upgrade the mobo and CPU as overclocking has given me all I need currently with headroom left to go faster if I need.

And it's about to start getting far more difficult too. In my opinion, we've reached "peak hackintosh". Now with additional features which run on ARM chips and custom hardware complementing macOS more and more, it's going to become increasingly untenable to replicate the full experience going forward.

TouchID & TouchBar with BridgeOS on the MacBooks was the first step. Hey Siri on the iMac Pro is the next rung up. How long until we see FaceID on the Mac, or much further down the road, macOS running on ARM?

That's really interesting. You should probably incorporate your findings in the Wikipedia article. It definitely lacks a critical viewpoint!
That's correct (a later edition than the pdf given the date). It is a beautiful book that blends the practical and abstract together to really give a solid foundation in both linear algebra and multivariable calculus topics. If someone asked me for exactly one book to read after learning single variable calculus, this is the book I would recommend. It is long, but extremely satisfying.

It covers in detail many topics often glossed over while keeping an eye on what is actually applicable, including such things as (taken from their page):

More singular values! We included a detailed proof of the singular value decomposition, and show how it applies to facial recognition: "how does Facebook apply names to pictures?"

This was my experience as well. I'm guessing the iCloud / app store integration stuff is even more screwed up now than it was when I built a Hackintosh. Not saying it didn't work, but I had to jump through a lot of hoops to get there.
Funny yes, but that's not even parodying a test, it's a checklist of buzz words. Which is below even what I'd call a badly implemented test.

Good tests are not tests of any specific knowledge. They test reasoning and communication skills in a programming context.
The common feature to the cloud icons elsewhere in the article is "Two bumps on top, one large and one small" - whereas in the BBC weather screen capture, the clouds have a single bump on top.

Of course, it's normal for icons to look similar - they're trying to symbolise the same thing - same as different fonts are trying to depict the same letters.
