iPhone X - Geekbench single core: 4224, multicore: 10401

S8 - Geekbench single core: 2008, multicore: 6475

iPhone X wins by 60% to 105% on speed alone, and so would the cheaper iPhone 8 which has the same processor.
Ha! Nothing like improving the bottom line.
Sorry for the shortness of this, but I know everybody strapped for time and might find this handy.

Things Blender capable of for video:

* Advanced graphical node based compositing

* "Effects Strips": Essentially generates a strip in the sequence editor that you can layer above the target media strip. Like using a Photoshop layer for one specific effect.

* Decent audio mixing capabilities

* Fantastic motion tracking (advantage of being built into your creation suite)

Pro Tip: Make sure your output frame rate is the same as the videos you are going to import. Otherwise the audio gets out of sync.
The dependency trees in many projects are out of control too.

It was part of the reason I wanted to move on from my last position. We were spending so much time chasing infrastructure dependency changes that it began to feel like a treadmill that was slowly increasing speed. At some point I got tired and couldn't find the heart to debug yet another vagrant up failure, knowing that fixing it will probably break something else, and the actual project work was just as likely to suffer from the same issue.

At home I keep it simple, and my advice to a sole developer or small team looking at some of these infrastructure platforms and tools thinking they need them: these tools are not for your use case.

You don't need vagrant, docker, kubernetes to manage a 4 person dev team and you are just burning hours and building the chain of brittle tooling that will be your biggest pain point until you eventually hire a sadist/devops guy.
Qatar and UAE both have interesting free-hold business zones ideal for IP-heavy work. One of the interesting aspects of some zones is that they are chartered to do all dispute resolution via foreign law (e.g. UK law)

You are right, UAE is way ahead on the freezone aspect. Qatar, however, is way ahead on the academic front with the most concentrated selection of western academic branches (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_City). For us, having a Cornell University Medical School branch next door, complete with tenured Cornell Med School professors was a huge sell for Qatar.

There are hobbyists who might want to, I don't dispute that, but what I'm saying is there aren't enough. You need a pretty big critical mass before the economics start to make sense and something like what happened with 3D printers becomes possible. Projects at the scale you're talking about take a massive investment of time and skill independent of how long it takes to assemble boards, putting them out of reach of the vast majority of people simply because they don't have the time. Not to mention the cost of such a project; if you can afford to invest a thousand or more dollars in a hobby project then you can probably afford the tools you need to do it, too. Maybe I'm underestimating and there are tens of thousands of people out there wanting to build complex data logging networks with hundreds of nodes just for fun or some other equally ambitious project, but I doubt it.

> I think your analogy falls down because an automatic bottlecapper does the same thing as you'd normally do by hand.

That was my point. A pick and place does the same thing you'd normally do by hand with a pair of tweezers in about 10 minutes for a board of moderate complexity. Doing surface mount work by hand with tweezers is pretty easy. The only thing a pick and place enables is for you to do things at a large scale, because they have a substantial overhead to use that you only start to recoup around 50-100 units or more. Now, if we had some revolutionary device that you could set up in 10 minutes to feed dozens of parts and cost $500 then hell yes, I'd want one too. But I don't think that's possible at present no matter any economies of scale or design optimization, because a pick and place is actually quite a complex machine by simple necessity.

Not to mention that placing parts is only part of it - you still have to fabricate and drill the boards, load the machine, clean up any mis-places, reflow them in an oven, manually place any through hole or awkwardly shaped components and solder them, cut the boards, test them, program them, mount them, etc. A pick and place would definitely save you some time if you really want to do such a large project, but by itself I don't think it's gonna be enough to really make it accessible to an individual in their free time. I'm not disputing that they would be beneficial, just that they make sense for an individual working in their free time. Especially when you consider that contract manufacturing isn't that expensive, though it does come with its own set of hassles.

I actually just finished implementing a very simple JWT single sign-on feature. We don't use the referer for the authentication/authorization. However, having the path/query in the referer does allow our partners to know what (if any) post-login redirect path/query to include in the JWT to provide end users a seamless re-authentication experience.

We could, of course, build the same functionality into our implementation without relying having the path/query in the referer.

So it appears that you have to subscribe to the print version for $19.99/yr (they do give you a YubiKey 4, which is kind of nice). I take it that's mostly to get the print ads in front of more eyeballs? I would personally rather not have to get the dead-tree version at all, if I could pay $10/yr for online.
Well it probably isn't going to go negative. Probably.

Does linux support the hardware well, with regard to tricky-yet-important things like the trackpad, external displays, and power management?

I'd much rather run linux on my iPhone, but we're lacking the ecosystem of apps, let alone the mobile development library. I'm hugely biased, but I'd love to have better React Native support on linux for this very reason.

This. For this you just need the origin though. There's an origin header for 10 years which makes CSRF protection so trivial yet its still not available in all browsers. Firefox can leak referer in regular mode but can't send origin? Not sure.

Anyone knows a good document on when/which browser actually sends referer header?

That last step is going to be a doozy too. Hopefully this is happening before too many people lose more than they can afford, because of FOMO and the relentless hype.
Because it's only worth what people are willing to pay, and that's how much Coinbase are paying at the moment.
And those who balked at $19k being too expensive are feeling super lucky right now.

My company, Invoiced, supports routing payments across different processors/merchant accounts. There are many interesting use cases for it within the billing space beyond just cutting transaction costs.

One common use case we see is trust accounting for lawyers. The gist of it is that trust and operating funds are stored in separate bank accounts, depending on the context of the bill. It’s a legal requirement that can result in disbarment if not followed properly.

Another scenario we run into is with insurance billing where policy payments need to go to different bank accounts or even be handled by a different processor, depending on the policy.

I know of other software systems that can do payment routing as well.
This is great, and if anyone is looking for additional examples in a library that is a bit different from the others check out Racket’s reactive programming library.

It's not necessary about speed, it's about how to write code that runs efficiently, concurrently and/or in parallel on that many nodes.

IIRC, that's kinda how ethernet came to be, ther were working on the computing world of the future at xerox PARK, they had to create clusters to emulate the cpu power that would be available in the coming years. Looking at the current trend, from phones to servers, they go from two cores to I-don't-have-enough-fingers-except-if-I-count-in-binary cores. A 3000 cores raspberypi cluster can be an emulation of the computing environemnt of tomorrow, not in term of raw power, but in term of distributed computing, and lead to unforseen invention as the ubiquitous ethernet.

If any crypto currency ever makes it and becomes mainstream, then I am pretty sure it will not be Bitcoin, to many unsolved or even unsolvable problems. If that turns out to be true, then the question becomes whether we already reached the final decline or whether the speculation will continue. Personally I don't think we have reached the final decline just yet but at the same time I find it hard to imagine that Bitcoin will ever reach $100k or so, people are probably slowly becoming sane again. If you hope to make as much money as some did by getting in at $0.10 and exiting at $10k, I think the chances are pretty much zero. Maybe you can double your money or get 500% if you catch the bottom of a correction but you may as well lose everything.

I've discussed this with some analysts who are looking at the cost of mining hardware and also power consumption/costs. They concluded that around $5k is the appropriate target price right now.
That's true - I'm just painting a picture. Same thing at most rungs of the ladder and I'm sure it happens in a similar way in many other places around the world - just the way it works. It's a different world than what most of the people on this site might see day to day - making big money in software requires a different set of soft skills to find success as I think most people on here would agree.

The guy I had in mind was, I think, 29, german and I think working at BCG? Very polished. Had his fresh-to-the-city model girlfriend and threw great parties.
Although if you take into account the cost in electricity that has been turned into heat, that does kind of represent s massive negative. That sacrifice of power is only worth it (sort of) if Bitcoin retains more value than the electricity was worth. Of course if cryptocurrency really does become worthwhile as a currency, it could be an acceptable price to pay.

How many people think that cryptocurrency has a real future worth that expenditure? I would guess fewer everyday, but I could be very wrong.
I think non-local comms will end up going through more pedestrian modes.

Road usage configuration is something that external systems will already force self-driving cars to obey, a lot of bridges are 3 or 5 lanes with a middle that switches directions, or have some partitioned third lane group that switches similarly. Broadcasting that information over the web/whatever may help car co-ordination, especially it may help with route planning and traffic analysis, but these systems should be rather strongly isolated from the car itself and be offered from a source open to the general public.

There is a lot of interesting stuff here, especially when you get into traffic balancing, but none of it would need to pass through a car relay network or anything of the sort - there may be economy in doing so, but that sort of a propriety (or open yay) caching of state wouldn't impact or impose requirements on car-to-car communications.
I'm not sure that the MS antitrust cases are a good example to hold up now because it can be pointed out that MS got the crap beaten out of them subsequently (without the need to split them up) because technology moves on and today's monopoly is tomorrow's legacy junk.

> I don't believe Steve Jobs would've let the iPhone X (or Touchbar) out the door

This is a ridiculous trope that needs to die. Among the many ‘half-measures’ people whined about during Steve Jobs’ tenure are things such as the original iPhone not having 3G, the iPhone 4 antennagate, the infamously scratch prone iPod Nano, the crack prone poly MacBooks, etc etc.

Apple was never a company that produced only flawless, non-controversial products, and Steve was perhaps the most controversial and opinionated product person to have ever lived.
You can keep the car and drive it on your farm. But as to public roads, they're a limited public resource, and the government has an obligation to ensure they are utilized as efficiently as possible. That will be achieved by only allowing self-driving cars.
Nice presentation! I'm going to look into attending this conference in the future. I hope the developers (Brandon and Stephen) comment their code really well so that others can understand the types and operators they introduce without digging through the codebase.

If it requires a case to not be a nuisance why isn't the case included? Why is the phone made of glass if nobody is ever going to see it? Why go to the lengths to make it thinner than the camera just to add a case? It's just really sloppy and antithetical to what I appreciate(d?) about Apple's devices.

I still wish there was a smaller iPhone that I could operate one-handed without the hacky home button tap to reach the top of the screen. How does that work on the X without the home button?
Vancouver is moving toward bylaws that will completely ban Airbnb for non-owner occupied residences. This means that people will no longer be able to buy apartments completely for creating a business out of renting them out on Airbnb permanently like a hotel.

I recall a study that estimated 70% of Airbnb Vancouver revenue was coming from these sort of professional Airbnb businesses that will now be outlawed.

I think there's significant danger for Airbnb here in how major tourism cities with ultra low vacancy rates such as Vancouver are clamping down on the service.

They do, but I think most of their consulting is driven by a desire to enable other organizations on their tech (hence buying more).

So definitely more helpful than the "obfuscate + delay = profit" model of most consulting agencies.
