I think it's because the ecosystems are quite different.
In x86 processors you can swap them in isolation and keep the same connectivity standards, the same types of RAM, the same operating systems and programs. In phones you can't just buy an Apple processor and drop it in, you have to "sign up" for a whole ecosystem of particular devices, a single OS that runs on those devices, a single software store that serves that OS, a particular connector, etc.. A direct CPU-to-CPU comparison doesn't hold as much weight when you can't actually act upon it without changing a whole host of other stuff you might be perfectly happy with.
No. Judging by behaviours in Amsterdam walletjes when they were still legal, in the worst case scenario you would need:
- a competent enough psychology major around
- strong friends who can hold you down as needed
One thing mailing lists can do to be better is:

* allow non-subscribers to post.

* do not enable Reply-To: header generation which excludes non-subscribers from receiving replies. See https://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html

If you want people to submit a patch or bug report via mailing list, but you make people subscribe before they can post, that is a major barrier.

In the olden days, mailing lists worked without stringent subscription requirements. Subscription is a tool for those who want to get all future traffic. Now it is used for spam control.

I've run into people who are vehemently in favor of Reply-To munging. The reasons are always idiotic and can be summarized as follows, "you must join this mailing list and read everything that goes on for a while before posting, or else fuck you! We don't need clueless postings from casual outsiders who can't be bothered to subscribe and drink all the Kool-Aid."

* It's 2018! For pete's sake, allow HTML. HTML mails allow a modicum of formatting. The occasional image is useful too. Most people have HTML capable mail readers. There is such a thing as being too conservative.

I allow HTML in all my mailing lists, and allow HTML to propagate into the mail archives. (After careful security scrubbing.)

I wrote this flex-scanner-driven HTML cleaner in C for the purpose: http://www.kylheku.com/cgit/hc/tree/
It uses a whitelist of HTML tags and for each whitelisted tag, a whitelist of attributes. All else is stripped away.
Could you elaborate what you did for the linux setup?

Was it something different from Crouton/Chrubuntu/Gallium?
I'm curious about experiences here since I had been a Linux user before being a Mac user. Also interested specifically in anyone running Linux on a Macbook. I love Apple hardware, not sure I could go back to PC style laptops for Linux.
> Step up Reveal, an “independent journalism organization” to start “reporting” on Tesla. Quotation marks are normally considered to denote sarcasm, and boy do I ever mean it.

Sounds like an article committed to defending Tesla. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but "with as little bias as possible" is debatable.
This choice came out of a desire to have some guarantees around ABI stability. The idea was that changing the body of a non-inlined, non-generic function should not require recompilation of the caller. Since then, ABI stability has been eroded for various reasons, and it may well be time to revisit this choice.
If you are risk averse, the answer is almost definitely no, because it's just way too unpredictable, even with the right setting / mood / people around you. The experience is so personal that anyone's anecdote bares virtually no weight for predicting how you'll react to it. Not even your close friends.

Ultimately it exposes the underlying machinery of your own consciousness in a way that you've never experienced before.

How you'll react to that sort of exposure is anyone's best guess. Tread really, really carefully with psychedelics. They are not to be taken lightly in the same way that weed or alcohol can be.

That being said, when in the right environment, it can be a fantastic, eye-opening experience.
If you need a Linux laptop, I think it's wise to look at the appropriate ThinkPad models first. Of course, if you can get away with desktop-only or workstation your options are a lot more interesting.
I agree that the $99/year/developer isn’t that much for Apple. The 30% of all sales is probably significant though - the App Store has a lot of users.

I don’t necessarily agree that PWA developers have no way of monetising their apps though - if I’m not mistaken they could use ads and subscriptions for their services. These would normally grant a cut to Apple if they were done through the App Store, hence the incentive for apple to delay the implementation of PWAs.

The end result is that people who prefer Android devices are still stuck paying iPhone money for a phone that has much, much lower single threaded performance.
I feel this is an unfair characterizion - the US government isn't a singular entity. In fact, as we've seen these last two years, it is an entity fully capable of warring with itself (the current executive branch is in bitter battle with the justice department and intelligence agencies, for the previous 8 years around half of the legislative branch had a mission statement of preventing the executive branch from doing anything).

Given the nature of the US government I think it is unreasonable to anthropomorphisize it as something that can "enjoy displaying a large sword," for example.
Practically speaking Satya Nadella runs MSFT, not the board of directors. Nadella does not have control of MSFT (he isn't the majority holder of shareholder voting rights), though.

Investors don't want to run the company. But the question is should they be able to fire the person running the company, even if that person is acting against the interests of the rest of the shareholders.

* ps, yes, the BoD can fire a CEO even if the the CEO has majority control of voting rights through various share classes. But the CEO can turn around and fire that board in that case (and the CEO has presumably already used their voting power to install a friendly BoD)
Wow. If websites could smell I'd be in trouble. A revolting mixture of bad stock photos and "here be dragons selling Snake Oil".
A lot of people use termux on android/chrome-os for that purpose. I haven't done real work on it though I am absolutely in love with it, after trying tons of apps having the ability to just create a script with some rsync commands for syncing pictures etc. is a godsend.
You hit on one of my favorite gems, "Bob has done something like that before, just ask him how to do it." The manager is envisioning that the team already possesses the knowledge necessary to get the task done, so there should be zero learning time involved. What this is missing though is that Bob isn't going to be solving the problem for the current task AND/OR Bob didn't even solve a similar problem, he just used the same tool or library that is now being used for the current task. If we had a Matrix like ability to instantanously transfer knowledge then this approach might work, but we aren't there yet.
Good point. I should have used e.g. Dell or HP as an example, they do the same albeit AFAIK slightly less absurd price-hiking.
You've missed the point. Nobody can (or did) accurately estimate how long the planning and development would take to get someone on the moon. Half the materials weren't even invented yet in 1962. Nobody knew that Velcro was flammable in pure oxygen.

Sure once all that expensive and unknowable planning and development is done, you can double-click that executable and put a man on the moon.

To be frank, I don't think this it's practical, except for small projects. I tried to clone git's mailing list archive, but I ran out of memory. :-/
Interesting, I’ve also experienced the temporary paralysis mentioned here on shrooms, feeling unable to move for almost 2 hours.
wtf i love the cia now?
I'd like Tesla to succeed in terms of mass produced electric cars, but their self driving program in particular is reckless, and the way they treat their own customers after their product kills them is just horrific.

They really should just cut their losses on autopilot and focus on figuring out their production line.
Unfortunately, there is no known shortcut

What about just jumping to step 8 immediately?

Hi Joel,

I had fun collaborating with you last year on a puppeteer docker thread in GitHub.

I’m super happy browserless is picking up. A bit jealous of your success but still rooting for you!

Containerized Puppeteer is amazing. Hope Google acquires browserless.io some day.
It's starting to become maddening when you look around you and realize that in a few short years everything is shifting to SaaS. The part that really bothers me is it feels degrading in the sense that you are not allowed to control your own property anymore. This is when technology becomes oppressive.
ChromeOS supports Wayland and the gnu/Linux applications integrate well as they go in the app drawer.

It will be better for people new to gnu/Linux as more familiar. This will open up use of gnu/Linux in a big way. Especially for schools in the US as the defacto standard is Chromebooks and Google ecosystem.

Now with also Android ChromeOS becomes a great option and perfect for my needs. Have not turned on my Mac since getting a PB.

Big thing is ChromeOS is the most secure desktop OS you can buy.
Right now a colleague of mine are working on a project called TallyLab. It's a "data diary" based on IPFS and OrbitDB. By utilizing those technologies we hope to create a distributed, decentralized, end-to-end encrypted, peer-to-peer system that gives people full control over their data. We believe it will be the first of many "GDPR-first" or "HIPAA-first" apps.

> Also, going all-in on async doesn't seem that helpful on the JVM where the vast majority of existing code (= what makes the JVM valuable) uses synchronous I/O.

I'm not sure that the majority of many-year old backwards compatible code being sync IO has much to do with the value of async. So long as there're ample amounts of async code/libs. I wrote a backend in Scala using an async Postgres lib. I hopped over three different ones before writing my own, all of which are async. For things like network IO in fact, there may be more maintained async code than sync code.
My only advice would be to use a desktop (tower) PC and not a laptop. Much easier to get everything working well, and no power management headaches etc.

A Project Sputnik laptop from Dell with Ubuntu pre-loaded is a safe bet. I'd personally opt for an XPS 13" Developer Edition, even if I were going to load another distro like Arch Linux. Project Sputnik's objective is to ensure Linux compatibility, which involves picking components that are compatible out of the box, and submitting upstream patches for those that aren't.

It does help that it's also the laptop that Linus is using: https://www.cio.com/article/3119876/linux/linus-torvalds-pic...

I've never used macOS, but transitioning to Linux would probably pose some similar questions no matter from what OS you are coming from.

So some common tips that you might find useful:

Laptops commonly come with SSDs or even NVMes today. If you have enough RAM, you can avoid enabling swap during installation, that will provide you more useful space on your expensive drive.

Enable periodic fstrim on your drive, to make sure your deleted blocks are reused.

If you are using Samsung NVMe, you might want to use bigger partition offset than just common megabyte alignment. I was recently researching this, and found out, that it can make some performance difference if you use 3 MiB offset instead of 1 MiB. It's a bit of a difficult topic, because Samsung staunchly refuse to answer questions about their NVMe erase block size. In general it's recommended to have partitions aligned to that size for best performance. You can run various testing tools like fio before setting up the system to find the optimal layout.

Prefer AMD for your GPU (Vega is the best today), it will save you a lot pain (i.e. avoid Nvidia and especially Optimus).

Also, as others said in this thread, consider if you need a laptop at all. Desktop would be cheaper for better performance hardware.

LOL, you caught me, so cunning. Almost like I didn't say "before becoming an employee" right in my comment.
Right. That was a problem as well. But what I remember the most from the experience with early Windows phones is the lack of many OS-level features and configuration options I came to expect from Android.
There won't be. The 5 GHz 8086K will probably beat this 5 GHz monstrosity in games due to lower latency.
See ebiggers' comment above - ChaCha20 isn't on its own suitable for disk encryption. We need something that is a drop-in replacement for AES to use in XTS mode.

I am thinking could this be fitted inside the iMac Pro, or the normal iMac. Or is it for the new Mac Pro.

How did we manage to break 28 Core all running at 5Ghz barrier when we were previously hold up even 8 Core running at 4.4Ghz at the same time.
In my experience Dell laptops also provide a great Linux experience.
I believe that even without all the crapware, a Windows installation with all bells ans whistles is still quite a bit bigger than your average Linux installation, even Ubuntu. Although I agree that 10 GB is really a lot.
1. and 2. could alleviate many of the problems, but people overlook how incompatible 1. and 2. are with any basic approach to testing.

For example, notebooks inherently intermix units of display logic with units of implementation logic, but obviously these are separate concerns (in the spirit of e.g. Model-View-Controller), and you shouldn’t be writing “a module” (the notebook) that intermixes them & requires wacky coupling of display concerns for implementation questions.

(This also extends to the formatting of non-code aspects of notebooks too, which should be reviewed as a separate concern... much like how in LaTeX, what content I write is a different concern than how it renders).

Imagine the added strain on e.g. a bunch of pytest code you’ve already written for an underlying implementation library if you now require it to be used for also automatically testing display logic too.

Finally, item 3. is also tricky because the point of a notebook is presentation, so the style guide might rightfully be different. Now if you have some implementation unit (some code block, function body, whatever) it’s suddenly a debate whether it should be styled for presentation or styled according to the team’s source code guidelines .. and you’d need more linting tools that can be surgically used on subsets of the notebook, which seems needlessly complicated in comparison to just factoring out units of implementation logic into a separate helper module in the first place.

For these reasons, it is actually quite hard to treat a notebook as a first-class citizen in any sense beyond mere convention.. which is useless in the automated testing and review side of the issue.
If it cost a ton of cash, that would be ridiculous. It is adding some fields and charts. Do you think Zenhub has or had a ton of cash?

I feel like I should post Francisco D'Anconia's Money speech here....

Money by itself isn't the "bad guy"; its a store of value. Like Technology it can be used for good or bad. We have structured our society to reward greed with unbelievable wealth. Like how can someone spend billions of dollars of their wealth? What is the need for someone to own all that wealth? And yet we all take that as given and aspire to it.
It could be that reality is catching up to their anti-user practices.
Google hardened the KVM and what is used. So native instruction execution but sandboxed.

Then the gnu/Linux applications run in containers.

So do not lose the secure aspect of Chromebooks but get native gnu/Linux.
Lexus quality is nothing like a Toyota. Sure, it's the same core architecture, but the refinement is a league above. Driving a Lexus feels like gliding in a spaceship, and the interior comforts are more comfortable. I assume the other luxury cars are similar.

Complexity is not as democratizable as the industry likes to believe.

- an org-chart team of 100 will perform worse than a tightly knit team of 10

- a tightly knit team of 10 will perform worse if tangible results are expected on regular intervals of the choosing of managers (e.g., weekly, monthly, take your pick) as opposed to treating the software project as a computer science research project spanning a year or more.

- a tightly knit team of 10 working on a software research project spanning a year or more will perform worse if expected to succeed in their first attempt as opposed to allowing them to fail one or more times and change directions, maybe even starting from scratch every time.

I use both Mac(Work) and Thinkpads(Personal) laptops. Thinkpads (T470 and T470p are what i use) are really good wrt linux driver support. I personally use Fedora + Sway as my daily driver. It has excellent driver support(didn't get the nvidia ones though). These laptops have about 32G of ram. Plenty to run kvm vm's for all sorts of dev stuff.

Thinkpads specially the T series comes with TLP [1] support. So, the battery life is very good. Apart from that, the keyboard is pretty comfortable, display resolutions are Full HD+. I cannot recommend it enough.

I made the switch after my Macbook Pro was stolen and I needed something quickly to get back to work. The transition from osx to ubuntu was pretty easy after changing my shortcuts to mimic the ones I was used to in osx. I've been using linux daily on my work machine for 7 months now, and i'm actually a little obsessed with it. I transitioned from Ubuntu to Arch and am using KDE as my desktop environment. Everything can be customized and it's great, I don't think i'll be returning to osx ever again.

I do miss the integration with my iphone though. I used the messages and notes app a lot in osx, so it's kinda annoying to not have that anymore.

Also, i'm using a Thinkpad. Would recommend.

*EDIT
I now pretty much use the trackpoint 100% of the time, and don't miss the trackpad gestures at all.
Do you think Github wasn't "money focused"? I'm sure you felt mighty smart making that comment, but businesses are by default focused on making money. HOW you make the money varies, but the final goal doesn't.
The comment section is ripe with "over engineering"suggestions.

If you're looking to build an online store so you can get a deeper understanding of Python: go ahead.

If you're actually looking for the most efficient way of putting up something online and start selling, you're better of hitting WooCommerce, shopify, etsy or looking at other solutions on ProductHunt.

That was my theory when I defended a firm that had made a (so, so minor) investment into solar road research on Reddit. I couldn't believe the vitriol, on a subreddit devoted to futuristism no less.

I don't know how to classify this phenomena but its characteristics are: lofty, haughty, condescending, dismissive language - a desire to be "right" about the "true boring nature of the world - high cynicism paired with disgust for optimism - absolute conviction even lacking more than a trickle of experimental evidence.

In the case of the solar roads, people were "promising" me that it would never be a viable solution not because of any good thermodynamics calculations or anything, but merely because the roads were pretty expensive right now, and kinda slippery right now, and because it seems to make more sense right now to just build solar panels in the Mojave desert or whatever.

Never mind that freeways are arteries across the nation, never mind that maybe someone will whip up some crazy asphalt mixture that you can plug a cord into, nope, it's not ever going to be a thing, TRUUUUST USSSS.
