Sadly, the reddit website has become a travesty - especially on mobile. A huge "DOWNLOAD THE REDDIT APP" banner obscures literally 30% of the page. There is a teeny-tiny "view on mobille site" link in small, low-contrast text that can be used to dismiss the annoying banner. Due to its size and user-hostile design, the Reddit banner is even worse than most news sites that try to push their newsletter/app/subscription with similarly annoying banners.
Can't imagine why this push is necessary. One of the primary advantages of x86_64 as opposed to other 64-bit architectures is that normal 32-bit applications run natively with no performance hits. As others notice, this is likely going to serve no other purpose than to make abandoned 32-bit applications completely unusable.

Of course, it could also be related to Apple's intention to switch to ARM chips in the near future, and getting everything on consistent 64-bit to aid the porting effort. I can't imagine the developers are going to enjoy low-level mapping of 64-bit x86 instructions to 64-bit ARM though...
Tesla was one of the best tech I've ever watched happen, up until when they decided to introduce the Autopilot. I guess they found out they can't easily improve on the range, which was the feature, up until this mess of a branding and PR. They were the good, benevolent techies, but they became angry and arrogant rich guys just in a flash under the slightest of criticism, and when they were to blame.

What I hope now is that there come a new fresh enterprise that prioritises the range variable, and can produce serious electric alternatives to conventional buses and scooters (e.g. Vespa) too.
funny thing is that apple used to have good offline music support that it has since butchered.

It's a great plane. The best multirole fighter any airforce can procure, by far.
Though I don't think something must be hard to be worthwhile, I think there's something in what you say. 'Trust in what is difficult' is a theme in the works of one of my favourite poets, Rainer Maria Rilke. It is the focus of 'The Man Watching': http://www.michaelppowers.com/wisdom/rilke.html
Thanks for the insight, very interesting!

I'm working on project that uses distances in N-dimensional space for determining appropriate human response and face expression; I was also wandering if this falls under AI umbrella.

No, in my example they're both references to an object instance - they're simply identifiers. Languages that are case-insensitive tend to force one to use identifiers that are also descriptive as to their usage, which is very helpful when reading code as you can tell a type from a variable from a....

Re: languages: Pascal/Object Pascal is case-insensitive, and is statically-typed.

Re: SQL: all implementations that I'm aware of use case-insensitive identifiers for all of the reasons that I've outlined. Any that don't are problematic, at best.

Re: locales: the way that this is typically handled is by a) restricting the allowed characters to the English alphabet (older), or b) by using Unicode (UTF-16) encoding for source files (newer).
> Could somebody point me to a technical explanation of why it's sometimes non trivial to just compile your app against x86-64 and call it a day?

The reason for that is quite similar to the Y2K problem.

Maybe they simply don't have the rights to the whole source code, but were allowed to make it public if they added that disclaimer. Usually the university will have the ownership of code produced in academia and if you find a commercial model based on their research code, they most likely want some money from that.
Just drag the music files from your library to your plugged-in iDevice in iFumes on the Mac. You can also buy and download them on-device with the iTunes Store app.
Maybe formally their institute owns all IP they produce and they can't make it available unless it's for academic use?
I think the offline claim should be explained a bit better. Like does that mean I can get my old MP3 files to the app without stupid iTunes sync? Does it support "File sharing" so the app is shown in iTunes and I can drag and drop my MP3 files to its storage?
A tool that can do everything will never be as good as a tool that is design to do just one task.

The problem with the ubuntu phone is that they built a special phone UI. None of the GUI desktop software ran and neither did software from any other OS. On top of that the battery life was awful.
> Partially automated cars have been driven by average people on the public roads since 2006,

What the GP was referring to, which is what I've see it referred to in Google presentations is level 3 automation. That is what autopilot is supposed to be, where you can take you hands off the wheel and the car can drive itself but needs constant supervision.

What you're referring to is passive assistance such as collision detection which don't drive the car but provide alerts. There is nothing wrong with this technology, it works because the driver has to drive as they normally would but it provides assistance when it spots something the driver doesn't. Here humans do the object detection and the computers stay alert as a backup.

There is a problem when the car drives itself but the driver has to stay alert. This is a problem because the human is much better at object detection and the car is much better at staying alert.
This might seem like a flippant comment but for me working in a computer museum watching the way visitors interacted with eliza was fascinating. theres something about how well-crafted responses can charm if used in the right way that some more complicated AI such as alexa seem to lack so far.

Still, as a non-iPhone user I actually expect Apple hardware to only work properly with Apple software, I was never able to use airplay on any other software than iTunes (in Windows), it always broke after some time when I did find something that worked on Linux. So perhaps it's not so bad to mention it.
That just reminds me of something someone told me when I complained that new phones don't have a headphone jack - "it's been decided already, get over it and stop complaining". I think there are legitimate concerns with the fact that these devices are getting so popular, and to stop raising those concerns is as to pretend that they don't exist.
They have also periodically been A/B testing a popup with only two options, login or get mobile app, when clicking on a topic -- as far as I could tell it was not possible to just pass to the comment thread. Luckily that seems to have been phased out.
> linux applications are not written to be pre-emptable.

I think I don't understand the way you're using this word.

Are you talking about wake-locks? Linux has opportunistic sleep/suspend and mechanisms for controlling that.
Interesting Failures – Visual IVRs
Yes, really. Of course they are nice enough to support multiple methods of searching for accounts, so you aren’t restricted to just looking up by IP addresses.
Handing off means to stop using it and letting someone else use it. Only copy in rare cases.

Lock free concurrency is typically via spinning and retrying, suboptimal when you have real contention. It's better not to contend.

Kernel code isn't magic, its performance is dominated by cache just like user space.

High performance applications get the kernel out of the way because it slows things down.
>A lot simpler and more consistent, and does a much better job of "everything is a file" than the POSIX API ever did (of course, it's "everything is a handle," but that's fine, the point is that there's one consistent way to work with everything).

I am failing to see how this is more consistent. With UNIX, because everything is like a file, you operate on them the same manner. A file, a socket, a pipe, shared memory, ... you open them then you use the system calls for operating on files: read(), write(), poll(), dup(),... which then allow you to use operations built on these syscalls such as fprintf, fscanf,... but also all the tools like cat, head, grep,... This is what i would call consistency.

If i implement a new feature as a file in linux, for example a virtual filesystem like /proc/, all the cited operations would already be available out of the box.

Tesla should just change Autopilot to Copilot and reserve the Autopilot name for when they achieve full self driving.
That's the nice thing about webauthn biometrics, though: the biometric data is never sent to the server. The test is done locally, and the server can trust it by verifying a cryptographic attestation of the authenticator's capabilities. And on the flip side, the user can opt in to biometric authentication even if the server does not require or care about it.
So nothing about ADT, pattern matching, modules, better std, explicit unsafe and cargo?
Why? It's a nonsense analogy. Speech is to conversation as wood is to fire?

Does two people talking somehow make it conceptually different than speech?
I think that's now removed no? Or at least, I haven't noticed it for a while.

"It's a great plane. The best multirole fighter any airforce can procure, by far."

I think for national armies which are funded by tax payer money the total cost of ownership should be a significant factor when considering what to buy. And should factor in the definition of "best".

I don't know much about aerial warfare. Aren't fighter jets just glorified missile launching platforms nowadays, especially for defensive purposes? What does the extra cost buy for the end user in terms of actual features they are going to use? I suppose the keyfactor of a multirole aircraft is radar that allows tracking and fire control for both aerial and ground targets and a selection of air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles that go with it. What am I missing?
But why would I want to if I can just stream them ?
Ah alright, thanks for the clarification. Nothing in those direction changes convinces me that Windows will improve over WinXP and Win7 though ;)

I really wish the Visual Studio team would give C a bit more love. Getting at least full C99 support in is most likely less work than any random C++17 feature.
Sure.

Originally Android only had the Java media APIs, with a quite complex state.

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaP...

Android 2.3 introduced OpenSL ES into the NDK and Android 4.0 got OpenMAX.

All of them weren't up to the game of realtime audio due to the Android architecture.

http://superpowered.com/androidaudiopathlatency

https://www.androidauthority.com/android-6-0-marshmallow-aud...

There are plenty of other articles online when you search for audio issues on Android.

There was even a Google IO 2013 talk about it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3kfEeMZ65c

Meanwhile Samsung had customized their Android versions to properly support real time audio and offered an SDK for their handsets.

http://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/professional-audio

At Google IO 2016 the problem was again discussed, with the Samsung team from Professional Audio being called on stage to discuss their collaboration.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2ZDp-eNrh4

Finally last year at Google IO 2017, the new real time audio was announced, as C only lib.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0BPXZIvG-Q

https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/audio/index.html

The announced C++ wrapper ended up being an external project on github, detached from the NDK, that you need to integrate yourself, without any guarantees how long Google will care to maintain it.

Oh, to make things even better, it is already clear from Android P draft documentation that new audio APIs are on their way.
For logged-in users, the banner goes away (I think after the first time you click to stay on the mobile site).
None of those points apply here, where the new branded drug is a revolutionary advancement over the previous drugs. (This non-profits new drug is something newer still).

Saving a life creates some aggregate economic value (the person will not die and instead will continue contributing to the economy for X more years). Drugs are expensive because in the first world, that amount is a lot and the entity creating a cure can reasonably expect to capture a substantial portion of it, either because the person will pay it or because governments will.

Neither is intrinsically a problem. $84,000 to cure HepC is a bargain, because people die from that quite young and on the other side of the equation is potentially millions of dollars of saved economic productivity. That’s not an argument for not charging $84,000 for HepC drugs. It may well be an argument for having the government foot the bill.
I'm swedish as well, and explaining this to my wife from Peru was a fun experience. The rest of the world is not as open with neither address information or salary information as Sweden is. If this is good or bad, I'm not sure but it saved me in a number of situations to be able to search for someone's number via a public website.

Keep in mind that the social number in USA is apparently also supposed to be secret (like a password) which sounds absolutely crazy to me.
Norwegian pilots are quite positive about the first deliveries.

In all air combat training scenarios, F-35s blow F-16s out of the skies.

Russia still has no meaningful way to interdict F-35. Their 5gen fighter is still early prototype, and the S-400 munition upgrade capable to tackle F-35 is still in development with multiple setbacks.

You may loathe American military industrial complex and point out the cost of the programme, sure, but it's the best aircraft in the skies for now. With some headroom.
>So are telephone numbers and addresses considered very private in the US?

Only by people who are unfamiliar with how things work in the US.

This thing right here is nothing, I see worse stuff on a daily basis.
As opposed to these totally not frivolous examples?
I’ve thought about this a bit. About why some people like “tools” over “languages.” So some people are fine to spend 100 hours leaning the Photoshop interface, but not 100 hours learning css and html in basic form.

I used to think some people are just dummies. But it really comes down to some people preferring workflow with little abstraction between action, mental model, outcome.

So even though “highlight text, click bold, see bold” and “type <b> and </b> around text, save, refresh browser, see bold” are really similar; the gap with switching tools and having to mentally model what will happen is more compatible with some people’s preference than others.

"Generic" is a legal term for a drug not subject to patent controls. "Alternative" is a medical/practical term for an alternative drug that may or may not still be under patent.

Alternatives can be cheaper, or useful if a patient cannot tolerate the first choise.

I'm always logged in, but it often asks me to consider using the app. I detest it. Why are they pushing it so hard?
Their mobile app rarely works for me. There was a bug for a few months(!) where I couldn't log in. It worked again for a month, and now the app can't connect to the server at all.

To be clear, I'm running this on a brand new iPhone X, so I've got plenty of power to run the app. The site works in my mobile browser, but the app has serious reliability problems.

If anyone at Reddit is reading this, please stop pushing the mobile app so hard. You're actively making things worse by pushing a highly unreliable app!

Also, please make it possible to sort by "Rising" on the mobile site and app (should I ever be able to connect again). On busy news days, things move fast enough that "Rising" is the only way to keep up, yet the option is mysteriously inaccessible on mobile.

Closest I can explain is mobile applications have to be written to understand "pause" and "resume", and the application is running from "resume" to "pause".

Your typical linux application does not. It expects to be "started" and "stopped", and running the whole time in-between.

Yes, the problem is that you don't know the car has done something stupid until after it's already happened. By then, it's likely too late because obstacles on the road are very nearby.

It might not solve all these accidents but I think a HUD showing where the car plans to travel would work better. If you knew the car was aiming off the road before it turned, you could override the controls in time to correct. It still would require lots of attention and fast reaction time (and still may be less safe than manual driving), but it would at least be better than the situation we are in now.

That's true. I was lazily making a broad wide sweeping statement.

I'll qualify what I said. If you are in highly educated, able to work, and are in the right field (i.e. software), life for the majority of individuals who fall into this category is better in the US than many other countries. On the other hand if you're dirt poor, have no education, bad health.... you may be better off in Scandinavia or Western Europe.
Late to Bed, Early to Die? Night Owls May Die Sooner
No, in webauthn they don't, because the biometric data is never sent to the server. The test is done locally, and the server can trust it (if it cares) by verifying a cryptographic attestation of the authenticator's capabilities. All that's sent to the server is a public key and a private key signature.
Hotspot Shield 7.6.4 Elite Crack with License Key Is Here [Latest]
It's a small banner on Reddit's AMP pages. Once you click "view more comments", you're taken over to the mobile version which has the huge banner.

Shamless plug: you can see this behaviour in the two screenshots in lower left corner in this post https://grumpy.website/post/0PhBPyfR- Reddit redesigned the AMP page to include some comments, but the behaviour is essentially the same.
I guess that would be more difficult, because there has to be coherence between subsequent frames (i.e., it has to avoid wildly changing random effects between frames).
I have a large mp3 library and have used Marvis for over a year. Marvis is great and extremely customizable, but it has a few bugs and the developer has abandoned the app. I won't use any music app that doesn't allow shuffling by album. It sucks that Apple bastardized the main music app to promote Apple music; I think that app was at it's best around iOS 7.
Event-driven architecture implementation
Most tech companies also spend more on sales, advertising, and other overhead (SG&A) than on R&D. If you look at the ratios, Microsoft or Google aren’t that far off from say Pfizer.
I unfortunately saw this weeks ago. I did the checkbox accepting being in the Beta program.

At first, I thought something was rewriting the whole content of my browser. And then, I realized, no, this is their "redesign". On mobile, the site is unusable - as in a overlay bar blocks all clicks or anything - for at least 30 seconds. Being on a laptop wasn't much better. There, it was 10 seconds of unusuability, per loaded page.

It took me 3 minutes to navigate to turn off beta. From there, it went back to the decent site I'm used to. Well, except a button in the upper left band that states "TRY THE REDESIGN"... Uhh, no.

All good things must come to an end. There is an end to everything, to good things as well.
The Apollo app is what official Reddit should be like right now.
I dropped the mobile app because it was occupying over 200MB of space, and my inadequately equipped iPhone ran out of space. I switched to the mobile site, but now avoid that as well due to the constant, in-your-face app promotion. Every website with a mobile app these days:
"I get it, you have an app, I don't want the app, stop telling me to download it."

Edit: Thanks for the helpful replies - however staying completely off Reddit is probably better for my overall wellbeing. Reddit is no longer a "happy place" for me, the racists, trolls, shills, and bigots have ruined it for me. To top it off, I was recently banned by admins (not mods) for "attempting to evade a subbreddit ban" which was a result of my using a VPN - no thanks.

Sometimes repairing a property or a car is more expensive than buying or building a new one. This is why cars don't last forever, even if it is possible in theory to maintain it in good condition forever. It is all a matter of math and math does not lie (just the assumptions used for the calculation can be wrong).
That is not my argument, because I do not think microkernels have failed. Sorry, if it came out that way. I do not have a strong opinion one way or the other, just curious if there is something to what Linus said and more than meets the eye. As it still seems to me, that microkernels have not fared quite as well as could have been expected thirty years ago, when the ideas first crystallized.

You are totally right that microkernels have been very successful in many different areas. I am afraid to even mention, that to me it seems they are most often pretty specialized areas with targeted applications and hardware choices. Which is why I'll welcome Fuchsia, especially if it is meant to be a general purpose, open source OS for a wide area of applications running on commodity consumer-grade hardware. That's all.
