I'm still on my Nexus 5. There hasn't been any phone worth upgrading to, that I'm aware of. If I knew that the Pixel would be so over the top expensive I have upgraded to the 5X at the time it was released but I was hoping that skipping a release would be worth it. I wouldn't mind a Pixel though, I'm just not going to pay $1000+ (AUD) for a phone.

For me the Nexus 5 was the last phone that had a great form factor, good enough features and was sold at a reasonable price.

I think you should display the best summary on the home page list, and a link to know more about and other summaries. Put a minimum threshold for votes to increase first-page quality, and voila, I have a newsletter that I would love to use.
On the flipside the reason excellent locality usually doesn't happen is that the narrower the scope of your tests are (think on the spectrum of integration tests to unit tests), the likelier that they are highly coupled with implementation details that might change, making tests brittle and refactoring harder. Or you go the full java style strategy-pattern-dependency-injection-abstractsingletonproxyfactorybean route to get both locality and ease of changing behavior, but then you're now building these complex class hierarchies and doing anything takes a lot more effort and boilerplate. Now changing behavior is easy but changing architecture is hard. It's a tough tradeoff, really. I'm not saying we don't need one or the other, but it's more of a case by case judgement call that folks would like to admit IMHO.
They buy a lot of expensive weapons using a gift card from uncle Sam.

No, I didn't do any research with the LS1. That was just an undergrad project for me, as a lab experiment for the engine class students to run.

Speaking of EtaGen (your third link), two of the founders, Shannon Miller and Matt Svrcek, are from Chris Edwards's group at Stanford. I worked with Matt quite a bit during undergrad. I knew Shannon but didn't work with her much directly. They are doing some very cool stuff. Their generator been in development a long time -- I hope it can go to production soon.
Why You Need DevOps
Yeah, the product looks super cool, congratulations on the launch. Definitely have work cut out for you to compete with launchdarkly, but it feels like the market penetration for such services is currently on the low end either way. Pricing plans allowing for more experimentation definitely give you an edge here (and definitely make me want to try out the project in my own side projects).

The pricing partially based on API calls feels somewhat vague though, it's tough to have any idea what an API call is in airship, especially given the abstraction level of the client where you explicitly remove the API from the sight of the developer. .1ms timings suggests it's not per flag, but then I see "Every time you check whether a User or an object should clear a particular gate". With that context 10,000 (or 75,000) seems very low - with 30 feature flags on a page you'd only be able to load 300 pages total across all users. It doesn't feel like I can judge how the API limits translate to real world usage, even though I do see the notes on the pricing page.

One thing I might recommend for the future as a killer feature is considering tooling around application performance between two cohorts. I've definitely seen cases where toggling a feature flag changes performance from 100ms to 800ms and nobody bats an eye because most small (and probably most large) organizations have crummy performance monitoring/tooling (PMs would probably love this too for projects with explicit performance goals).

What's the expected time in Airship for clients to pick up new configurations currently?
Flutter is about simplicity so I doubt they are planning any designer tools.

And IMO, designers should stick to their favorite tool, and leave implementation details to programmers. Hot reload makes it easy (and IDE is not required for that).
Again: what you can say with authority is that they decided not to pursue action at that time. You have no idea what their future plans are.
They are compressed.

Do you perchance mean "dynamically loaded, on demand"? Because there's no standard for it. Because – as usual – "good enough for Western audiences".
The proposed c++ 2d graphics standard is based on Cairo.

Good question.

I conducted a study of the relative mentions of an arbitrarily selected set of high-informational indicators (the Foreign Policy list of top 100 global thinkers), and looked for references to those amongst numerous online domains (and TLDs), including several mainstream and alternative media sources.

https://www.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/3hp41w/trackin...

(Scroll down past the social media listing.)

The Economist and The Financial Times both rate excellently amongst mainstream publications. Each has a very distinct pro-business, pro-banking, and overt pro-free-trade[1] agenda (though not unquestioningly so), though the quality is generally good.

Amongst the more highly-rating alternatives were (in no particular order):

1. Mother Jones

2. The Christian Science Monitor

3. The Nation

4. Jacobin Magazine. (Probably the most directly ideologically opposed publication.)

5. Alternet, The Real News, and Truthdig, each of which has a diverse though sometimes questionable set of contributors.

Selecting from amongst these might be useful.

My survey, of about 100 distinct domains, is not complete and has various methodological issues, but should be a good guide.

Having a GC enabled OS doesn't mean the GC runs all the time or it is the only way of allocating memory.

The last generations of Oberon OS had support for video editing applications as an example.

There are real time GC applications in production being used to control weapons systems, including live targeting and soft real time factory automation systems.

Regarding D, using @nogc or -vgc allows the developer to control when the GC works, it at all. What the language lacks is a GC that can match real-time GCs used in soft real time systems.

This was also my experience of similar experiments and introspections.
Compounding the issue, maybe not for Google's devices but certainly others', is locking the bootloader so you can't even install an aftermarket ROM derived from open-source projects that are up to date security-wise. I won't name names, but one particularly egregious offender's initials are VZW.
I replaced going out with staying in after realizing that much of the activities weren't all that great. 'Hanging out', drinks, chasing girls, spending cash, and then back on the treadmill making cash in order to rinse and repeat.

To be fair, these things are fun but as you get older the opportunity cost is way too high for them to be worthwhile at the expense of self improvement.

Instead I work for 3 months at a time everyday in almost total solitude on an online business then spend two weeks travelling Asia or on a roadtrip. Those two weeks make up for whatever mediocre activities I missed the last 12 weekends. (The goal is not solitude, it's freedom. Solitude is simply what's required to get there).

In today's always connected world, being alone is a gift. Your time is your most valuable asset and most commitments are not value-adding so filter accordingly.

One important point: Don't use solitude as an excuse to neglect oneself. Time spent alone should be a space to grow not atrophy.

Alas, it is c++03. On the other hand it's relatively thin and it begins with the standard library (std::vectors, std::sort, std::string) from the first chapters. So I guess it was the first good book that didn't begin with C language from the start.
Does Silicon Valley really push out dissenting opinions? There seem to be plenty of people with very out of the mainstream and quirky opinions who have thrived in the valley for years and plenty of obnoxious people who try to emulate them by having dissenting opinions for the sake of having a dissenting opinion.
I think that really is a great point. If Google actually sold their phones for more than 24 months, they'd stop supporting software updates before they stopped selling brand new phones!

Would you buy a Dell, HP or Lenovo today if Windows 10 would only get software updates two years after it was released (July 29, 2015...)?

To be sure, phones (and computers) don't need software (feature) updates, necessarily. They can still perform functions (and install apps) long after the updates stop coming.

Security updates, on the other hand, should have a guarantee more inline with computers - say 5 years after the product is no longer sold. (Of course, that's much more ambiguous then "2 years after release date" but 5 years for security doesn't seem unreasonable to me.)
>"Large" LDL is marginally less dangerous than "small" LDL

Neither large nor small cholesterol are "dangerous" - it's black-and-white opinions like this that make the nutrition industry so difficult for laymen to follow. They are both healthy, in that without cholesterol you would die. Excessive amounts of certain cholesterols in ratio to others just happen to be symptoms of underlying eating disorders. The author states that:

"She ... argues that HDL, so-called good cholesterol, also rises maintaining the ratio of bad to good. This is the study she cites to support that assertion. But instead of cherry-picking this one study that she performed with Egg Board money, involving 42 people, if you look at a meta-analysis, if you look at the balance of evidence, the rise in bad with increasing cholesterol intakes is much more than the rise in good."

However, it is known that the ratio of HDL to total cholesterol is a just as good as if not a better predictor of heart health. That's why it is generally used... [1]

There are many documented cases of high protein diets (or more specifically - low carb) achieving better cholesterol ratios [2][3][4]. There are also many more studies that address the significance of LDL size, than what the author you linked addresses [4][5][6]

Some ideas -

I'm very suspicious of treating the Kahneman system 1, system 2 as any more than a hypothesis since even he admits it's a model without any biological basis. What's worse is that most of the research he cites come from studies with almost no replication.

> You buy a piece of hardware that could trivially keep working for 5-8 years, and it becomes actively dangerous to use, not just for the owner but to everyone else (think botnets), after 3 years because the vendor stops giving security updates for its software? This should be illegal.

The simple way to make it illegal to produce potential botnet-hosts is to force manufacturers to remotely brick all hardware they no longer support.
It's also 1 block from one of the famous under-freeway homeless encampments.

One more anecdote, since part of this discussion is about rent control and how it affects peoples choices living in the area. I currently pay ~ $2150 because I've lived there for 8 years. That's why I'm also holding on to the place even though I currently work in San Jose (a 1 hour drive each way). I'd pay even more than I currently do for a place down there, but probably less than a new tenant moving in here (SJ is merely the 3rd most expensive area in the US). The commute sucks, but I prefer to hang out in SF on the weekends.

So yeah, maybe the landlord is missing on a bit of opportunity cost because I live there, but as soon as I move out, it would go to market rate. They could make an extra $20k/year if I moved out but I think generally having a stable tenant in the long run is a benefit, and they've certainly profited far more than that from owning the property. Tenant turnover is pretty high, from what I've seen most people only live here for a year or two.

Contrariwise, many people find his communication style refreshing and entertaining with his book sales being a solid exhibit in favor of that.

Also, most people are stupid compared to Mr. Taleb, that's just a simple function of his observably high intelligence. That said, I've never seen him treat someone as stupid who doesn't first act stupid, and he's demonstrably willing to engage with people publicly on fair terms.

It's a good test though: do personalities like Taleb and Dijkstra entertain you or do they offend you? Introspecting on why they do or don't is a great opportunity for personal growth.
While I'd love to test out Airship, not being able to do that without signing up is pretty much a non-starter for me. When I say pretty much, I can often be persuaded with having at least the documentation available without signing up. For example Logrocket (https://logrocket.com/) needs signing up, but the documentation is all there and I can immediately see the effects it will have on my app if applied.
You are correct. On a much larger project with a similar software engine, if I change all structs I pass by value to pass by reference my instruction count shoots up by 40% according to cachegrind (flto + ofast).

Amazing how powerful pass by value can be when it comes to pod structs.

Or storing someone else's personal information on the blockchain opens you up to an effectively unlimited liability: Not smart.

It really depends on what is being stored. Is it that there is €30 in account 123 and €50 in account 234? It's unclear if this is personal information if someone can have multiple accounts and access them anonymously.
Yup. And the sadness of being dependent on SoC vendor's kernels/drivers. Basically only Apple is capable of fully supporting their phones, because no one company does as much of their tech stack in-house as Apple. (Samsung is close, but does not really understand software... and I say this stuff as a long-time android-only user, and Samsung employee...)
Well, Gawker is based in the United States, where there's plenty of federal case law saying it is not illegal for a public figure.

I'd like to see the full summary and with column (Pinterest-like), with height limiting.
I use a 5s as well. I cracked the screen on my first one but I'll be replacing it to use the phone as a hardware key soon.

The only time I suffer lag is sometimes with the share button in Safari. My storage was chronically full on my last one, and that didn't seem to affect anything. My batteries still last a handful of hours, but the 5s wasn't part of the iOS voltage-limiting patches, so I don't know if that would be a cause.

I'd try a factory reset then restoring from backup.
They let their certificate expire, essentially bricking all of their devices. And now the app running it won't start, so they can't push an update.

Just recently picked up a Rift. I love the hardware and their exclusives are top notch, but this confirms my suspicions that their backend is super goofy.

They sell Rifts at Best Buy and want to pretend that it's a consumer-ready product, but here's why I am recommending people stay away for now:

- Non-existant repair or service out of Warranty.

- Basic things in the platform like changing your name or photo don't exist.

- Lots of non-response over other basic features requested by the community.

- Questionable future investment in the platform or hardware. It sounds like they are moving their efforts towards "lighter" experiences.

In short, it feels like being a legacy customer for a new product.
When Ethereum ICO'ed it definitely met the Howey test for securities criteria. The SEC even stated that.
I am one of the 13k that is that little red guy. I just migrated my openid provider to a docker container and changed the certificate to LetsEncrypt.

Slashdot removed support, as did shirt woot and deletionpedia. Freecode and gitorious are gone. After this, the only things I'll have left on openid will be pipy (which doesn't seem to work) and openstreetmaps.

I understand why and the technical debt involved, but this still makes me very sad. We're moving in the wrong direction. We're going away from open, federated, distributed standards and back to closed, wall-gardened, proprietary, massive identity providers.

Feature updates stopped, security updates did not. The phones are still receiving monthly security patches and will continue to do so. Google did not stop those.
