Not saying that you are wrong, but iOS office was in development long before Ballmer left, so never isn’t as true as “not soon enough.”
I'd like to see the heat charts for the Raptors last year compared to this year. I'd imagine to see a really noticeable difference in much more threes taken this year.
> I would posit that the best solution is state level control + an infrastructure tax on new development. Charging ~30k per SFH might seem to make things more expensive but by allowing new entry to pay their own way let market forces work while adjusting for externalities.

Why should the new pay the burden of the new and the old together?
I used to live a few miles from Richard's Castle. It's a beautiful area. There was an old unmarked motte and bailey castle down the road in a nearby field. The area's also know for fantastic fossils. I'd regularly find trilobites in what was an ancient lake bed.
I agree that getting Office to run on Android and iOS is a bright future, but that doesn't mean you put Windows in the corner with "some other stuff". Maybe there are too many people on it and they've gotten too comfortable? Spin it out into a company with half the staff and let it soak up its own sun.
I've spent 2 years doing 8-5 and it just doesn't work for me. I'm going back to school and becoming an academic. The requirement to be here is what hurts the most, I'll happily work more hours as long as they are flexible and on my own accord, in my own space.

I am counting down the days.

In past discussions, I was led to believe we were safe from these devices, in terms of pervasive data collection, because the main processor that was always running was primitive and was only powerful enough to pick up a key phrase. This phrase would power the main processor which would then listen to your query, respond, and then deactivate. But now, as the article mentions, I realize that this initial processor could be made to listen for many key words like "love", "hate", or other words that would pick up on sensitive personal information. I really don't think these devices should exist.
There's a lot of these about. The license cost reduction for "tiny device" (small screen, <=32GB flash, <=2Gb RAM) has caused them to proliferate. In some ways they're the real replacement for WinCE.
I have not given this much thought or did any research. It is just an idea that popped into my head reading this thread. Why not just replicate the open source software model? Author opens a git repository on a github like repository. Reviewer can comment on the content repository. Article versions are stored and changes are stored for future reference. Even research data can be stored in same repository. Reviewers can build up a reputation by reviewing articles. Articles can even be forked or referenced. Articles with the most references and reviewed by reviewers with a good reputation can thus rise to the "top". Technically everything is in place. Or I am too much of a technical optimist?
My own tiny neighborhood ISP thinks they are smart and have their own CDN for caching everything under the sun. Of course it doesn't work well, not only it caches DNS and HTTP requests like kids collecting candy in Halloween but it also breaks HTTPS sometimes.

As an anecdote of how bad ISP caching can hurt you, I am a web developer and I was debugging an issue in a legacy system. I had fixed the stuff and deployed a new version. Erased all the caches in my machine, refreshed the page, broken. I thought that maybe I fixed the wrong thing and started fixing more... now rinse and repeat over five hours before you realize that the cache is happening at ISP level and that things are fine in the live version on the real internet. This ISP is called PredialNet, web developers from the city call it PredialCache...

I know this is about DNS and not HTTP but their cache servers will also cache DNS requests, so moving some domain to a new machine and IP is also a quest under their network. For a while I paid PIA so that I could side-step their cache servers.

You can accuse someone of anything, until they file a suit they’re just trying thuggish intimidation tactics, which is no surprise from patent trolls.
On the home page I have no idea what the name of this thing is. Its apparently "12" which spins in. Maybe the name with a description "a number puzzle game".

Then the game modes are "clean", "dirty", "filthy". I'm on a work break, so I'm not sure clicking anything other than clean is good.

so "Clean" I get some instructions about merging rows. Though to be honest I'm not sure why the top row merges and why the bottom example isn't. I tried the help screen and I have the same questions. I get through the help that rows "merge" and the numbers add, but I don't get why some don't merge.

Sorry to be a downer, because the game seems like fun. I think it needs some documentation help.
Luckily most motherboard makers allow disabling this, which makes installation quite easy.

They bet the farm on “store”. Why? Because they must have done the math and realized that the enterprise and “creative pro” desktop with classic expensive desktop apps is a dead end. Was that calculation correct? Who knows. But I have to think they did that analysis very carefully.
When Google Reader got shipped off to the farm upstate, I switched to Feedly briefly, but wasn't very happy with the web client.

Once I found Feedbin though, It's integrated seamlessly into my daily routine, becoming something that I use all day but almost never think about. I consider that the greatest praise I can bestow upon software. It's been worth every penny to me.

(FWIW, I use "Press" reader on Android, which syncs with Feedly, Feedbin and other services, too).
That's to be able to claim an 'installed base of 100's of millions of users' for technology 'x'. Even if none of those people installed it voluntarily or has ever used it.
Thanks! That's interesting. I've always thought and always heard that Mac had ceased to be important to Apple and was almost EOLed due to the iPhone, but your take is also very plausible.

I have yet to see an Agile/Scrum organization that doesn't have runaway technical debt. The entire Agile/Scrum process discourages the "craft" aspects of development unless they are explicitly included in each sprint, and a very few managers do that because these aspects are hard to tie to a specific customer story.
That's exactly the point, nobody is gonna pay to build infrastructure for people that don't exist yet. Especially if they don't want those people to exist. That's what's so ridiculously obvious about the concern troll. When a developer wants to build housing, it's always "no, we don't have the infrastructure to support it", yet a few days later when new infrastructure gets proposed, it's "we can't afford that!". Well shit, wouldn't it be nice if there were more people in the city that could help share that cost? But you blocked them out.

Requiring infrastructure to be built beforehand is nothing more than a way for incumbents to win in their quest to never let anything new get built.
This comparison is impossible without knowing the relative sizes of jester vs rocket, and how much space they take up of their effective binaries.[1] As I mentioned below, Rocket isn't really size-optimized yet, maybe it would be significantly smaller if it were. Maybe Jeseter is just far more lean-and-mean than Rocket is.

You can't draw whole conclusions between two languages with just one tiny command; even the OP, comparing a language to itself, ran a whole lot more in-depth analysis to figure out what costs were being paid where.

It is cool it’s that small so easily though!

I'm not sure the previous poster is 100% correct but honestly I have not looked into it in depth. I know the times I have gone through it the journals did provide typesetting and copy-editing for some aspects of the paper.

However, to get to your actual question a big reason people use journals is simply the name. As a researcher getting your paper published in Nature is not only big because the prestige but presumably more people read/see nature articles so you have a better chance at high impact.

TL;DR Their value is their reputation and reach.

The old has already paid for a lot of infrastructure or their would be no roads etc. New people need both new and old infrastructure their property taxes offset the use of old infrastructure, but the added cost of new should be paid for by the people who need it.
So happy to have a real term for this! I've always just said "A known metric is a gamed metric". Everything from "if you can't touch your toes you're unhealthy" to "price per square foot maximizing" in real estate... once a group has consolidated on a metric and let that metric be known, that metric is useless.
To some, that is good. Despite fancy displays, the terminal is still far more efficient in my opinion for many operations, although graphics are nice for things and those things work great on Linux
Reverse here: I only boot my Windows VM when I really need to build something with Windows. Other than that, its Linux all the way. I find it an utterly pleasant experience compared with either Windows or MacOS, which is interesting..

> macOS isn't business-level stable

amazing how many people here are missing the point. this is not about Windows vs MacOS. Client OS has become a commodity with prices approaching 0 (MacOS no longer charges for upgrades, neither does iOS or Android) and users care less about how they get to Facebook.

Think about server/mobile space. if MS tried to hang on to their dominance simply via desktop lock-in (because it worked in the past) that would be their Kodak moment. All Nadela is doing here is emphasizing efforts on staying competitive in cloud/o365 which is where he thinks they can continue to grow and stay competitive and bring in revenues from enterprise clients. Less and less companies want to lease/run their own windows/database servers, and with technologies like containers a lot of companies are now going with open source solutions.

If you actually read the article and the many citations, it’s a strong data-based approach. If you only read the title or skim, or just react emotionally then it could hit you the wrong way. All of which is to say that this is an important issue, it’s presented well and with sensitivity, and it’s just the kind of thought-provoking article called for in the guidelines.

That it’s already flagged off the front page is a credit to no one.

That's pretty much how it works everywhere. There's no career, or even pay, advancement for people who like to do this sort of work. You're called a "maintenance programmer" which people take to mean you're not very good. On the contrary, a lot of those types of developers are very good. Better than the people who initially wrote the code and jumped ship when the bugs started rolling in that they couldn't fix. They understand the system and the business much better than the talky-talky system architecture wanna-bes.

Whew, that turned into a rant quickly. I've just seen plenty of strong, smart developers get screwed because they don't do flashy work.
No it doesn't.

It merely points out that the possibility is very low in the absolute sense.
AvE's video went through what might have gone wrong, if you haven't seen it.

IIRC, AvE thought it was basically negligence by the installers. One of the mobile supports was kind of near a curb, which was going to make the bridge a pain to install. The engineers installing it decided to move the support, and moved it to a bad spot. Putting the weight of the bridge there caused a bunch of damage. The engineers should have caught it, but they went ahead anyway.
Proof America's Got Talent Is Totally Fake
Business is full of "just good enough" solutions, and loves control. Apple has shown that breaking backwards compatibility doesn't bother them, they're not going to build IT control features to the same level, and ... maybe macOS is going to be sacrificed at the alter of iOS? We're not sure these days. Meanwhile, custom Windows software from forever ago works just fine today, and that's good for business.
I too remember the QnX demo disk with a web browser and desktop environment on a single floppy. But Linux still doesn't do this kind of isolation, partly due to philosophical opposition.

You can't trust the large companies who have a culture of profiting off your data to protect your privacy.

This is why we need AI at the edge, and not in the clouds, and Privacy-by-design thinking in our architectures. This is the only way for people to know their data won't be compromised and misused, because it never leaves their devices.

Sounds like a pretty edgy edge case to me. In a more typical deployment like a laptop with a built in display or a desktop with a single 1080p or 1440p monitor you can pick from a variety of distributions that on firm "it just works" territory.

Perhaps the magnetic tape recorder and cell phone weren't the best examples of "unintended uses", but using chest x-rays as phonograph records is a clever hack.

Smartphones are intended a a personal device running apps controlled by a human user (sure, a "platform"). They're not intended to be a sensor pack / CPU for self-driving cars.

3D printers are intended for printing plastic stuff (sure, arbitrary plastic stuff). But maybe they can be co-opted for squirting molten plastic at your enemies.

Quadcopters are intended for doing arbitrary stuff while hovering. But you could re-purpose one as an oscillating fan.
You make a good point that the value of regulations for Uber is negligible. Regulatory capture is an understandable motivation by industry but its weird to see the public embrace it. I see a lot of people in this thread complaining about how Uber, AirBNB, and Turo aren't fair to industry. The point of regulation is to protect the public. If they aren't needed for that purpose they should be repealed for existing players. Taxi Medallions artificially constraining the supply of taxis were always a stupid idea regardless of whether Uber and Lyft were created.

Give someone a ride, let them borrow your car, let them stay over at your house while they're on vacatin, have a one night stand with them. Nobody thinks we need government regulations for this stuff. What is it about commerce that scares us so much?
Fixing Banking and Deposit Insurances with Blockchain: Failsafe in Layman Terms
Supposing one of the scientist social networks implemented the refereed peer review process for some or all papers they host, funding it with ad revenue, APCs, and/or freemium instead of charging universities and readers, what more could they do to improve the system? Better post-publication review/redaction/amnendment for work we don’t realize is wrong until much later? A rating system?
Nope but Turo needs to be sued into oblivion as an intermediately if it does not enforce whatever is the local regulation on XYZ.

All arguments that "we are just a provider of a bazaar space" fall apart the moment Turo does anything other than sell a spot on their listing service - operator of a food court could claim ignorance that the stalls are used for selling oxy only if it does not market itself as "Come here to get your oxy!"

End to end test framework nearing first stable release
I'm using firefox and the website functions normally.
There have been multiple times where, despite my best efforts to pay attention, I couldn't even see a traffic altering incident in front of me. The car in front of me, which was the only one I could see, did not prepare me quickly enough. Now, I didn't crash, but an advanced warning system can LIDAR/whatever under cars to see many cars ahead, warning me if three cars ahead are traveling at 0mph and I'm traveling at 70mph.

Of course, safe driving distance is important there - I'm not claiming otherwise. It was my safe distance that made it possible for me to stop. This is entirely besides the point though, as my human senses were entirely letting me down in that situation.

There's actually a good video of almost that exact situation by.. I think it was a Tesla. It started beeping with little visible reason why. Turns out, the traffic two cars ahead was at a stand still.

I can see what you're saying about automation, but I still think it would be a net gain in most scenarios. Though, I imagine it would be best to let people turn that off, but keep warnings intact.
I guess that's just a difference between Germany and the US (or at least Texas).

Most of the tablets I've seen in stores and restaurants are actual iPad hardware, the virtual keyboard used when entering information is the iOS keyboard, and the Square app follows the Apple design guidelines.

And the rare occasions when I encounter an Android tablet, I recognize it from the virtual keyboard. Case in point: the food hall I mentioned in my above post. When you buy something, it asks you if you'd like to enter your phone number so they can text you when your order's ready. When I chose to enter my number, I instantly recognized the keyboard for that as the Android 4.x keyboard.

Compilers come in all shapes and sizes.

Some are single pass like Turbo Pascal. They directly generate machine code while parsing (no AST!). Niklaus Wirth (Pascal/Modula/Oberon guy) wrote a book following this approach [1].

Some have multiple passes like Chez Scheme. They have many simple passes, which they call a "nanopass". Andrew Keep has a great talk on this approach [2].

In practice, most compilers today are multi-pass, though probably not as many Chez. If we look at Rust, they go from AST -> HIR -> MIR -> LLVM IR -> machine code [3]. There are probably more things going on from LLVM to machine code, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment on it.

I think the trade-off here is clear: less passes -> shorter compile times, more passes -> faster code generated, more modular compiler. Martin Odersky (Scala guy) has a paper attempting to get the best of both [4].

The word is 'Teasmade' ("tea's made") not 'teas-maid'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teasmade . They were probably never quite mainstream and fully accepted in the UK, but they certainly did sell pretty well for decades. They seem to have fallen by the wayside over the past roughly two decades, but they're still notable as, effectively, one of the earliest and most successful IoT gadgets.
