yeah, I think Xcode for iOS is going to be here sooner rather than later. They are already testing the water waters of compiling (I think) in Swift Playgrounds.
I can add to this with my anecdotal evidence. In my experience (looked at ~15gb of basecalled data total), there is a large amount of indel errors.

The mismatch rate is much lower. But it's hard to calculate exactly the mismatch rate when the indel rate is so high.
I'm not so sure that people actively seek out a sense of victimization. I think that humans have a desire to have a positive identity, and with most Americans having fewer long-term careers, friends, religious connections, or community support, people are turning to identity politics to gain their sense of identity.
This is effectively an anti vaxxer argument.

Security patches provide herd immunity and today it’s more important that everyone around you is patched than you or just you.

You share a metric ton of personal information with people and if their devices are compromised so is your data.

Now you might be on top of every vulnerability and wake up in be middle of the night to check up the NVD RSS feed but I would bet my life on the fact that the majority of your social circle doesn’t.

You wouldn’t accept Facebook or Google not patching their servers why would you accept your friends and family not patching their devices when they are in a much better position to compromise you if they are compromised?
Let’s Rethink Jenkins
From what I remember, you pay for the 4 ESXi hosts that form the base cluster, and then scale up if required. I guess the idea is that many large Enterprise organizations already have some kind of AWS/Azure presence, often unmanaged by IT, and this is a way to consolidate those workloads as well as provide a DR target.

I don't have exact quotes in hand, but the pricing we got was roughly competitive with Azure Site Recovery and Nutanixs' DR solution, which were our other two main options. In the end, we chose none of the above, and just built our own at triple the price with half the capabilities. C'est la vie.

How does becoming more aware of the past mean everyone wants to be a victim?

Part of learning about the past also involves learning about how past issues have carried us to where we are today and how sometimes the issues of the past still emerge in unexpected ways.

The bigger issue is people wanting to continue being oblivious about how the past affects the present because it’s uncomfortable.
I cannot find anywhere listing road temperatures nearing 175 F. Do you have a source?

Most I find are like this [1], which would allow a max road surface temp at 100F air temp at the equator with the sun directly overhead on a perfectly clear day to reach around 148F. (see equation 17 in the paper).

The rest of the literature I have found is similar. I doubt roads in the US south reach 175, and likely not even 150.

Pardon my ignorance, but is there any functional change by it being a method vs a func? All I can think of is not having to type in the package name to call it and possibly the ability to memoize parts within the struct itself but not sure if you'd even want that in a general solution. If the argument is one of those or aesthetic then awesome, but I'm wondering if I'm missing some difference in how Go handles them.

No real people hold this opinion. You don't hold this opinion.

You're saying that phone OS updates in general (whether from Google or Apple) are so low quality that its better NOT to get them on older phones?
I was pretty unhappy about, I can tell you. And yes, I mentioned that fact to make clear that physical security comes first, and because I cherish the irony myself.

In Bristol, most mountain bikers do cross the Bristol Suspension bridge on their way home, same for a lot of the roadies. There's been a fair few cases of people being followed back by some teenagers and then having their bike stolen that night, so rather than go straight home (main roads), I just hit the back streets to see that it's clear. And now I make sure that we haven't left a set of keys out in the garden, even when the door is locked. Which was a fact on its own: it's an implicit metric of how often people try breaking in to an urban house here.
One million times this. Are developers supposed to plan for this in the future? For the non tech-savvy consumer, the solution is to get a new phone. Most likely another iPhone due to brand loyalty and familiarity with the OS. Apple is doing us dirty and it's working.

On further thought overnight, I agree with you more. There's a combined goal between zoning and transit to meet human needs, and obviating the need to make a trip on the zoning end is just as good as facilitating a trip on the transit end.

The overall systems approach is better in total, too - there are tons of broad cross-cutting concerns here, and transit is one piece of a larger and more complex system.

Ah, thanks for the clarification, my mistake.

If that hasn't been answered elsewhere, then the important part is that the hash code for a particular object is always constant, every call to getHashCode for that object returns the same value, so in a sense it is deterministic (the same object always hashes to the same value, which is all the hash table cares about) even if the actual number was initially generated using a non-deterministic process.

That's where I also get confused.
So far the reasons I could come up with are:

- the exchange got bought out silently and is now owned/controlled by the people behind tether
- the exchange got paid to use tether (for example 0.5% of the volume as incentive)
- the exchange holds a part of tether's fiat as guarantee
- the exchange is run by people who are inexperienced in appraising counterparty risk
- the exchange is run by people who like to take risks
- the exchange expects to cover any potential losses with the profits they made so far
- the exchange has been offered proof that the 1:1 peg is genuine (backed by the Chinese govt using US bonds)

other ideas are welcome
Just wondering, would it be better to normalise like flooding point does and always include a virtual 1 on the front of the number? This encoding wastes space because some numbers can be encoded multiple ways e.g. 3 and 6.

On the other hand, that would mean zero couldn't be encoded, but you don't need a zero for most maths as it doesn't do anything (and you could use a zero register.)

Edit to add: the even shift is a problem, but you could use 7 bits of number, 1 implicit leading 1 bit, and 5 bits to cover any 32-bit shift.
> For this specific case Apple's explanation, they started throttling down CPUs based on battery age to prevent unexpected phone shutdowns make sense.

At best it's a complete botch on Apple's part. I got that update and my phone was noticeably slower, right off the charger at 100%. My typical usage pattern has me plugging in my phone at night with usually more than 50% and rarely around 40%. I'm never in danger of unexpected shutdown.

The way things used to work, I'd drain an iOS device and somewhere around 20% I'd get a popup to switch to power saving mode, with a choice to do it or not. This is quite reasonable, usable, and the device remains fast until you're in the danger zone. Wanna tweak it? Move from 20% to 25%. Done. Worried that people won't switch to power saving mode and then have a shutdown? Make the switch mandatory at 20-25% or whatever.

But slowing down older phones all the time... it's hard not to be suspicious of motives.
I was pleasantly surprised with my iPhone X. I was taking photos in quite cold weather (IIRC it was around -5F), which would have caused me no end of grief with older phones, but the X handled it like a champ.
They're solvent in that scenario, sure, because they committed fraud. That's the great thing about fraud, getting rich off of it.
> You can exchange USDT for fiat, on demand, for exactly 1 USD/USDT, but only at Bitfinex

My understanding is this isn't the case. My understanding is Bitfinex will take your USD and convert to USDT which you can then use to buy crypto. But it won't take your USDT and turn it back into dollars. In fact, my understanding is the only way to turn USDT back into USD is either directly through Kraken or indirectly through another exchange by going USDT -> BTC (or ETH/DOGE/whatever) -> USD.

Bitfinex lost the ability to bank in USD a while ago, which is how this whole tether business was invented in the first place.
Is there anything new in iOS 11 compared to iOS 7 that one could point to to show a major new feature that would justifiably be significantly slower than the iOS 7 days?

Yes absolutely. If I have a client that's going to drop a thousand plus hours into the project they're getting charged a quarter of what someone who just needs me to log in once and a while gets charged.

They shouldn't, but they have to. Noone else will.
Man, I really hope Pony grows a decent library ecosystem fast! The language itself is sooo nice, the type system is pure bliss (at least this side of Haskell), and I even managed to get beyond the first peak of "I have no clue what is going on here" to using the type system sensibly.

I do not care about scalability so much (I do not complain, either), but the language and especially the type system was an eye-opener for me. Having a guarantee - proof! - that entire classes of bugs that haunt software written in C, C++, Java will be impossible to smuggle past the compiler sounds like a realistic approximation to the four-dimensional compiler I once envisioned, that would retroactively turn any and all runtime errors into compile time errors (without creating a paradox, of course!).
Did you completely erase and re-install via iTunes, perchance? This is sometimes necessary after an update (and a reset without iTunes is insufficient).

Unfortunate, but software is hard.
> "Give us a list of secret sites you don't want us to cover".

This seems like a non-starter to me. If the gov't hands out an accurate list, they've given out the secret and it's no longer under their control, negating the whole point of having secret sites. If they pollute the list with random, bogus (but plausible) data to reduce it's utility for discovering secret gov't locations, it also reduces the utility for Strava as well, as now there's random swaths of land where nothing is logged, despite there being nothing there.

I have to say, part of this seems like an opsec failure on the part of the various militaries and government agencies. I would hope that whomever is in charge of security at a sensitive facility would recognize that modern phones are general purpose computers that are, amongst other things, location aware. If a facility's location or whom works there is sensitive info, the security officer should probably be forbidding phones from being operated while on site, or even being brought to the site in the first place.

It's not. But many "legacy" systems—using the term broadly to mean people and process—are inconsistent and not any more correct as a whole. A standardized system is easier to monitor and easier to correct, so I see this as an improvement overall for that reason.

Samsung Enters Crypto Mining Market, “Mass Producing” ASIC Chips
Personally, I don't really care if the changes were intentionally malicious or just negligent. Consumers bought a product with the expectation that it would perform in the same or very similar manner throughout its lifetime, and Apple screwed them. The company advertised the smooth UI, then slowed the phones to the point where the UI and user experience were no longer smooth.

It's like buying a Tesla because of its incredible acceleration and smooth ride, but then in two years, that acceleration gets throttled to be similar to a Toyota Corolla to "maintain battery longevity." But hey, the new Tesla has even _more_ acceleration... It just seems like a dirty sales tactic.

I'm not looking at Apple here. It's everywhere. What seems to be missing is the continuation of your QA conversation that appears never to happen:

QA: "Foobar is truly painful on 3 year old hardware. You need to see if you can get it snappier, those handsets are still in support after all"

While we're about it we're also missing the QA conversation involving testing under poor and highly intermittent signal.

The more cores, GHz and mbs we get the worse it often seems to get.
That's missing the point. Copenhagen is not mathematically wrong. Alternatives like many-worlds interpretation and pilot wave theory have the same (MWI) or isomorphic (pilot wave) equations. Copenhagen is epistemologically wrong in that it requires strictly more assumptions than is strictly necessary, specifically an theory of wave function collapse. It is "wrong" by Ockham's razor.

You are correct but, you should still respond the the underlying point. Should we (to make things more consumer friendly) regulate what ports are provided on computers and laptops?

I argue no. Apple has always been a head of the curve on removing hardware from their devices. This is upsetting if you use that device but it also frees up resources that can be used for other things. This includes space/weight/power wise in the device and economically factories making floppy/cd-rom drives now make something more useful. The problem with regulations is they are often slow and arbitrary. That is not what we want in tech.

I could imagine in 2010 that regulators (perhaps encouraged by a congress person that has a stake in CD-Rom factories), decide the iPad is a type of laptop and so much include a CD-ROM drive in it. Yes having every company make individual decisions is messy and inefficient but that doesn't mean regulations will end up producing better results.
I definitely had random shut-off issues with my 3-4 year old Google Nexus 5. It would shut off randomly and without warning, even when the battery was around 50%, or sometimes even higher.

It happened while I was travelling, and having the phone shut down isn't helpful when you're trying to navigate via Google Maps, or take photographs, or while you're trying to hail an Uber. I would have loved to have the option to slow my phone down instead in that circumstance instead of just random shutdown and reboot.
