That's the maximum turbo clock, which only kicks in when one or two cores are in use. Getting all cores to that speed does count as an overclock.
I'm not in Google, I hear of Jeff more often. I occasionally forget that Sanjay exists until reminded.
It could be worse, a couple generations ago the best minds were used to find new ways to kill people.
The problem is that science relies on consensus, multiple studies confirming the same finding, whereas most lay readers find a single study and use confirmation bias to put away their critical thinking. Most people will just read science-writing by some news website or even the NYT, which cites a single study. They then synthesize this science writing about a single study as "fact" into their head, when really you need numerous studies and even meta-analyses of studies to establish a fact or theory.
Reflections from Front End Love and VueJS Amsterdam Conferences
I didn’t say I blame Apple. It’s not Apple’s responsibility to write drivers for machines they don’t claim to support.

I’m more saying that—although Linux’s support for things like sleep/wake on random machines might be sometimes wonky, the best efforts of the Hackintosh community don’t get macOS to support those same machines any better. It’s the machines that are wonky. (Usually by having horrible off-spec ACPI tables that get patched over with drivers the manufacturer releases only for Windows.)

Which is further to say: it’s not really a failing of macOS or Linux if your hardware won’t sleep/wake correctly, or won’t connect/disconnect from external displays correctly. In either case, it’s because your machine is nonconformant to the specs the drivers were written to follow. The only way to succeed in such an environment is to spend man-decades (Linux) or at least man-years (Hackintosh) reverse-engineering the brokenness and writing heuristics into your drivers that patch over it—or by being such a monopoly player that the OEM does that for you (Windows.)
>EVERY tech article about the hot new startup introduces the founders in the following way.

No it doesn't. Just because you see some articles do that doesn't mean all articles do it.[1] Also, keep in mind that the people writing these articles usually understand tech much better than the layman so that's still not evidence of the general public giving a shit about googlers.

It's a money loser to not accept credit cards, too. I don't like carrying cash. I'm likely to skip a cash only restaurant even if I want to eat there because I want to charge purchase & I don't have cash.
Oh good, I see the downvotes are rolling in now (I was concerned after receiving a wave of upvotes yesterday). I've found there is no more reliable method to collect downvotes on HN than to say something critical about Apple.

I've heard, second-hand, of a friend's chef-friend back home. The chef in question is an excellent chef at a top-dollar restaurant, but he eats the simplest of meals. Bread, salami, cheese levels of simple. I heard this story around a decade ago but it has always stood out in my mind.

Being able to recognize flaws, areas for improvement, etc. are great in the context of trying to improve. Having a keen eye for these things is absolutely a boon in this context.

Unfortunately, that same keen eye makes attempting to enjoy or appreciate one's own work rather hard. Stoic as I may try to be, it would just get to me. Funnily enough, I've since moved towards enjoying cooking since my tongue is much less discerning.
Likewise, if businesses could hire women for an N% discount on labor costs, they would hire only women.

This was a couple of quarters ago. To the best of my knowledge, Tesla never stated this explicitly, but it was in the press.
Unless they controlled for it, this seems like the obvious primary cause of the observed effect. Especially since this was mostly a pre-ACA period where many more people were uninsured. I don't see any indication that they did control for this, so I'm not updating my beliefs very much about the health effects of losing your wealth via non-medical expense mechanisms.
There's also 192.168.0.0/16 and 172.16.0.0/12.
I agree. Until recently, at work, I was targeting 3 different versions of gcc (Ubuntu 16, 14 & 12 so I think gcc 4.4-5.4). It's not just an issue of what language & library features they support, it's also an issue of which compiler flags to use. Is it --std=c++0x, --std=c++1y, something else?

Toss in there, I also have to compile a subset of libraries for Windows. Even when you use frameworks to isolate yourself from OS nuances, you may still have compatibility issues. Like, using the ACE library. What does the function you pass to ACE_Thread to spawn return? On posix systems, it returns void*. So, if you want to suppress compiler warnings (-Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant), you return nullptr. Oops, now your code breaks on Windows, because ACE_THR_FUNC_RETURN there is a DWORD, and no conversion from nullptr to DWORD. On yet other systems, it returns int. So, how do you have your warning free code on all the systems? Ugh: preprocessor.

It blew my mind when I first realized that in Clojure projects the programming language is a dependency of the project itself. Of course, there is still the JVM, but I personally have never run into JVM version problems.
Only in some places; credit cards are relatively rare in Sweden (everyone uses debit cards), and rewards are generally mediocre at best.

I disagree. There's certainly short term benefit to this Keynesian view, but long term it leads to wild volatility, partly because people are only one pay check away from ruin. When only the wealthy have a store of money to draw on in harder times (job or income source loss, broken appliances/vehicles/etc), it further harms the poor. It's a regressive policy because it disproportionately harms the poor. It forces people into leveraging credit each time a moderate to large expense comes up. That's not a fun way to live.
Should Federer have to to due diligence on Rolex before slapping one on his wrist? How? What would it involve, and what standards would he be held to when pulled up on charges?

This is what the SEC is for - discovering fraud. How is a sportsperson supposed to do due diligence on a security?

I could (and probably would) get behind a law requiring people to acknowledge paid endorsements, but requiring them to investigate just seems untenable.
The performance is depending on how many concurrent user are using their service.
The joke is an indication their position is stronger than perceived. That's his warped sense of humor, and something he's probably been longing to do (once the time was right). I predict this press will be the first of many positive releases from Tesla. While they flew very close to the sun, the wings have held, and they will be soaring from here.
Most people aren’t hording cash under their mattresses, or maybe they do in Sweden. I would expect things to stay the same.
Nice coincidence is that one of the main db servers I work against is bifrost :-)

I'm in a similar boat. I tried doing dishes, but my back started hurting in 3 hours from standing. And I consider myself fit...
I'm always taking lunch with a handfull of other devs from where I'm working. All the other pay cash, I'm always paying with a contactless card and I'm always taking more time, even when I don't have to enter the PIN.

Two very different user bases though.

Craigslist is more of a, 'Go there to accomplish specific task' end point.

Reddit is more of a, 'hang out here when your bored!' type of thing.

The former just has to work and work cleanly. The latter needs to hold it's users interest over time while staying 'hip' enough to gain users from potential competitors to stay relevant overtime.
I protect myself from this risk by not having any money.
You have to enter the amount the person is actually delivering... If the total is 18.45€, I'll probably be paying with a 20€, which the cashier has to input.

Now that I think of it, I guess not all POSs require that (the cashier does the calculation for the change in their head), but in my experience they aren't common.

You mean, you saw your altcoins go down 80%+ ?
Windows 7 doesn't have "many years" left. Windows 7 has less than two years left in its support lifetime. (2020 is when extended support ends.)

In the mean time, if you, in a corporate environment, must Windows 7 until the bitter end in 2020, you can use WPF as a bootstrap step towards UWP. The XAML is similar between them and a lot of the coding paradigms are same (MVVM patterns), and if you architect well (.NET Standard 2.0 libraries) you can share 100% of your business logic between a WPF application and a UWP application.

Xamarin.Forms also has an open source WPF renderer if you'd prefer to further go the cross-platform route. (Xamarin.Forms supports UWP, iOS, Android, macOS.)

I agree that I think Microsoft should have had the .NET Standard, XAML Standard, WPF Xamarin.Forms development stories in place sooner to better leverage developers that need to support older Windows, but many of those pieces are in place now if that is what corporate developers were waiting for.
Thanks for the feedback. We, and other people too, usually refer to it as "Alpaca", so we'll see where that goes. For now, I think the name is punny, but will keep that in mind for the future. As far as load times--I'm definitely working on that; sometimes it even times out and shows a Heroku error page, which is no good at all (Heroku has a hard 30s timeout). Hopefully that will be resolved within the coming weeks, and like you said, looking at showing results as they come in via websockets instead of waiting for all searches to complete.
Umm...are high schools authorized to share that kind of information with a giant retailer? What is to stop Amazon, or anyone else who asks, from simply using that data to target its advertising towards children?

No I mean, the license you’re describing sounds like the AGPL. If you use AGPL licensed code on a server which a user interacts with, you must provide them with the source code. That’s perhaps the biggest difference between the GPL and the AGPL.

AGPL is “GPL for SaaS”.
I strongly suspect they are aiming to sell sometime soon. The new rules, the new redesign, the attempt to facebook-ify the site.
what would a good motherboard support bring ? (open question)
I'd buy that argument if they had actually showed any investment in helping that assumption come to pass. Instead, their ecosystem is a barren wasteland compared to what Nvidia has built.
Robots don't create garbage, except maybe in the form of heat.
Because of currency exchange fees that would be incurred by using cards or other options (although Sweden has the same problem.) Within the eurozone I don't even bother taking any extra cash with me.
I agree with this 100% - boredom absolutely has a place and a role in our life. It's the place where dissatisfaction can push us to let something new into our life.

Sometimes when I'm starting to feel too overstimulated, I'll purposely allow some boredom in. I'll turn off my phone and internet, stop drinking coffee and just see what happens for a couple weeks. I don't push myself with an agenda like I'm going to "go to the gym", I just stop doing the usual things and see what happens. I'll generally run into a boredom wall after a few days (once I'm done catching up on sleep, etc). This is the point where I encounter a lot of temptation to get back on my phone or do the usual things. But if I just let myself experience the boredom for what it is, eventually I'll find that I'll get inspired to do something different - go for a walk or run, try programming something etc. But in these cases, it doesn't feel like a striving effort - it's more the effortless effort of doing something because I want to. These are what I generally consider to be the "healthier" moments in my life, and what I like about them is they don't feel forced - I just have to get through the feeling of not giving into my more shallow cravings and temptations, rather than forcing something over top of them, and the creativity comes naturally.
> Ignoring the 2000/week spurt last week, the other 7000 Model 3 cars were made over the course of 11 weeks

Exactly. The 2000 number is complete B.S. They just held back nearly finished units and the "completed" them all in the last week so they could release a semi-decent number without technically lying, but they are nowhere close to target.

"Q1 deliveries totaled 29,980 vehicles, of which 11,730 were Model S, 10,070 were Model X, and 8,180 were Model 3"

"In Q4, Tesla delivered 29,870 vehicles, of which 15,200 were Model S, 13,120 were Model X, and 1,550 were Model 3." - http://ir.tesla.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=1053245

Model S/X: -23% deliveries. That is a BIG problem. Falling demand for S/X and inability to sell at sticker price (where they still lose money) and replacing that with another model that they lose even more money on is not a great "growth" story.
> It has a troubled history

Stop there; this is where your comment goes off the rails. I'm an admin (disclosure - my blocklist: https://github.com/kstrauser/freeradical/blob/master/content...) and see almost none of the far-left censorship you describe, particularly on content. You want to be pro-Trump? Go for it, as long as you're polite and respectful. Sure, people will argue with you, but that's their right to be expressive, too.

GNU Social is an interesting experiment and was quickly adopted by a lot of people who wanted to have literally zero limits on free speech. I initially switched from running a GS node to running a Mastodon instance because the software was orders of magnitude better, but quickly decided that adding a couple of rules (be polite. Don't harass. Respect others.) made for a much better user experience than the wild west "say anything you want" environment of GS. I guess you could argue that those rules are imposing censorship, but much in the same way that outlawing physical assault is a restriction of our freedom to beat people up.

As an admin, here's my take on the matter: https://blog.freeradical.zone/welcome-to-my-living-room/ . You don't have to agree with everything I say, but you don't get to punch my other guests and then whine when I throw you out. In practice, this is hypothetical because I've never had to ban anyone. Turns out adults are perfectly capable of treating each other decently when they know that's expected of them.

Do you really want to compete on price? Better to figure out why your product isn't compelling enough. Maybe your marketing could be better, maybe your product could be better. https://stackingthebricks.com/guides/growing-your-biz/ has a bunch of articles along this theme.
I’m surprised that 1 in 4 people in the study lost more than 75% of their net worth at some point! I wonder if that was a housing crash or dotcom bubble or is just typical?

And that the median amount lost was 92% ($101K)... implying they went from about $109K net worth to $8K on median.

That would be pretty stressful for sure.
this looks cool, but design needs attention.
The first generation Ryzen 7 rollout was a bit of a mess as well. What with the (understandably) immature BIOSes, and tons of people RMAing CPUs to be replaced due to the segfaulting issue.

AMD seem gaffe-prone. See also the pre-launch hype vs reality of Vega in the gaming space.
Except for "FB Photo Explorer" they all work client-side / offline. I think I should add this to each app or script on the homepage.
Yes, that's exactly how it works! Once you paste in the ABI, you can pass in a function name and any parameters to Etherglade and the UI will reflect that :)

Please me know if you run into any problems/bugs or the documentation is confusing at all!
Statistics literacy would help, but there are a lot of highly educated people who repeat things like the pay gap myth. I think the problem is more about ideology and the lack of critical thought.
I also quite like the 'open' command to do the opposite.
Not your usual answer for HN, but the best online courses I've ever taken are Chris Orwig's photography stuff on Lynda.com. Most local libraries have a free subscription with Lynda, and the way he teaches photography/Photoshop/etc was so useful to learn during college. It's not math or machine learning, but the guy is an absolute master at his craft -- and offers some of the clearest explanations on his line of thinking when working on projects.
As soon as you are offering some form of card payment somebody can calculate what % is usually in that kind of business transacted via credit cards, therefore knows how realistic the reported revenue is.
Thank you for the link. Can I add it to my article quoting you?

Well, the example given here is Transport for London, which is almost impossible to travel without using an Oyster smart card. So yes, pushing for legislation along the lines proposed in the article would make sense.

Nvidia shield tv is tops. I think Oppo probably hit something a lot of companies are, which is that quality is losing value. People are less able to discern quality so making top notch products at top notch prices is a weakening strategy.

Is it the loss of wealth causing the health hazards or is it just that being poor is not good for your health? In the last paragraph they say the group that never had wealth had the worst outcomes of all.
I don't know about Sweden or EU but in The Netherlands cash is legal tender. If a shop does not clearly communicate cash isn't accepted, you can consider your transaction finalized. Its the problem of the business; not the customer.
I cannot understand the pushback against cashless systems

I am deeply comfortable with the idea that I have the option to keep my spending habits private, and not subject to data mining. I also like the idea of not being tracked all the time, and I like the idea of general anonymity. I don't like the idea that my options are being removed form me, with no discernible benefit to me. You like paying by card? Excellent, go right ahead. I like to have the option, sometimes cash, sometimes electronic.

This is a little-appreciated benefit of using Common Lisp: the language is both standardised and stable, so a library from 2000 is very nearly as likely to run on an implementation today as it was then, or as another library is now.

I do wish that there'd been a newer standardisation effort since, for a couple of reason, but it's really, really nice that the people haven't had to waste effort updating working code to deal with language changes.
I initially liked the circles concept ... but over time I realized that _for me_, it was exactly backwards. I don't want to spend time categorizing every single person I know into these circles. Instead, I found myself wishing that I could just categorize what I post (as normal), but let everyone I know decide what category/circle to subscribe to.

Every social network now has asymmetric following, but it's all or nothing ... I wish I could follow someone's tech posts, and another person's kid posts, and yet another person's political posts ... etc etc

Logically, if I know that in giving one person a raise, everyone will ask for the same raise, I just won't give anyone a raise that isn't negotiated by the entire group, which takes longer and is less likely to occur without conflict.

It actually extends to the whole market, too - if all salaries are transparent, then an RN makes x. They can't make more than that, anywhere they go. It gives a floor, sure - if they get hired, they'll get paid the same as everyone else; it just also makes a ceiling, and, I believe, may slow income growth in general.
When Cops Become Robbers
When I lived in the subburbs in long island, millenials felt pretty left behind. Home prices were over a million dollars with very little opportunities for renting. Most people either rented semi-legal basement apartments or lived with their parents. It wasn't till I moved to New York City that I started to see people my age doing well. It's a very safe city, has a huge culture of renting, and with higher wages.
Unless you have the money to afford a home, it's better to live in a city and rent.
