I read the article based on your comment, but I disagree overall.

I do agree that it was---in retrospect---unfortunate and optimistic of MZ to promise too much freedom and independence from FB. But it seems FB _did_ give WhatsApp a long runway, it's been 3-4 years since the acquisition. If their ideas don't work (wrt bringing in revenue in line with the acq. price), at some point you have to go back to square one and do the thing that works (also for IG), and do the FB-style ads/monetization.

I don't have a lot of sympathy for the WhatsApp founders. They took the money (they're worth almost $10B now), they did have 3-4 years to find their (and their team's) way within FB. It's cool that they don't like ads and moral standards or whatever, but come on, you have to be more rational when you're playing in the $10B league.

Disclaimer: I worked at FB previously for a short time.
I don't think it's buildable on Windows yet. It's been like this for a couple of months now, not sure if MS is really trying to get others involved.

1900x sells for ~$450. It's just the 8 core part, though — might as well grab the Ryzen 8 core for way less cost instead unless you need the memory b/w or PCIe lanes.
yea men and women are biologically different and have different interests so they choose to do different things

why must everyone confuse abilities with interests? women can do the job but they choose not to. they also choose not to be mechanics or construction workers but nobody whines about that do they?
They also didn’t collect the payment and host the binaries for unlimited volumes of $0.99 shovelware.
Ok, but almost every single one of those processes uses a tiny bit of processor time.
Hey FWIW I'm aware I'm more or less trying to hijack a release thread with my gripe. I don't think this should be standard practice for FOSS. In my defense though, I waited for years on this bug, I like TypeScript, I want to use it and evangelize it, and this (pretty fundamental) bug has languished meanwhile we got... module types? I'm pretty sure 99.9999% of devs will never use those. I bet they use iterators though.

Also I already have a job, and TypeScript is a Microsoft product with many Microsoft engineers working on it every day. Let's not portray it as entirely the altruism of some saintly engineers donating their time. We're not talking about OpenBSD here.

Which doesn't necessarily mean that it actually helps you to find the information or data you seek faster. Proper spacing is needed to separate groups of objects.

However I agree that this dashboard template is simply not good, though spacing is one of the lesser concerns here.
We've only seen early 32- and 24- core numbers. Hopefully the 16-core part gets a refresh with interesting improvements.
The laws of physics are intruding. Clock rate doubling without prohibitive cost, power, and heat have gone. At 3 GHz electrons don't go very far in 1/3rd of a NS. Chips are getting physically bigger (look at the Epyc). Easy increases in IPC are gone. There's an embarrassing number of transistors available, but few uses for them actually increase performance on things consumers care about.

Even GPUs are starting to peter out with lengthening product cycles, smaller improvements, and the increasing tendency to just rename the previous generation with a new name, as if it was actually significantly improved.

So CPUs have peaked, most of the low hanging fruit has already been taken. Most easily shown by pretty much all the popular CPUs from the previous generation maxed out at 95 watts or so (desktop or server), but are at 180 watts in the current generation. This happened years ago for desktops, but is hitting laptops (last year), and smart phones (this year or so).

GPUs are about half way there, improvements are harder. No more annual updates with 2x the performance on most common use cases. Feature improvements are getting more obscure, gaming sites are using 16x zoom to show the improvements. GTX1170 is rumored to be 50% faster than the GTX1070... from 2 years ago.

Specific use ASICs for mining, AI, and similarly narrow use cases are still early in their development. Multiple vendors are showing 2x improvements with each generation, even crazy things like including said chips in consumer devices with tiny power budgets.

So basically a core twice as fast isn't happening, it's not because anyone is lazy. There's tons of room for improvement in specific use cases where today's silicon is crazy inefficient. Things like machine learning, software device radios, vision specific processing, and related are seeing rapid improvements.
There are many good reasons to think that regardless of the person(s) involved, the chairman of the board should have oversight responsibilities over the CEO.
I’ve always considered what I enter as being given to Facebook rather than somehow mine despite being in Facebooks possession, on their drives in their servers.

There is a huge difference between what you explicitly type into boxes on FB's own website, and their policy of tracking you on every other site they can and correlating the data. Further, they (and others) go to extreme lengths to do so even if you log out of their site, clear cookies, browse in private mode, yadda yadda.

I can see that laws should be followed. But from a moral point of view your outrage seems overblown.

As a software developer who is familiar with Facebook's APIs I have not been happy at all with the recent NYT coverage. It's mostly been the kind of coverage I'd expect from the National Enquirer.
I can't fathom why the mere mentioning the new doctrine of self-pardon makes people mad.

There are big dips, buy not related to time since release. I guess it's more about when a new version comes out. Anyway - you can verify whether that happened or not from the chart.
You jump to arguing legality, but morality comes before that, or should anyway, particularly because it's a company vs an individual.
User Onboarding quick guide
In addition to the historical account of Mote Carlo Meothod, an accurate prediction of computing was given in 1987 at the end of the article...

> The miracle of the chip, like most miracles, is almost unbelievable. Yet the fantastic performances achieved to
date havenot quieted all users. At the same time we are reaching upper limits on the computing power of a single processor.

> One bright facet of the miracle is the lack of macroscopic moving parts, which makes the chip a very reliable bit of hardware. Such reliability suggests parallel processing. The thought here is not a simple extension to two, or even four or eight, processing systems.

> Such extensions are adiabatic transitions that, to be sure, should be part of the immediate, short-term game plan. Rather, the thought is massively parallel operations with thousands of interacting processors-even millions!

Of course. That's the point of criticizing them. So that they can see the potential profit in behaving nice.
Facebook just needs to have enough unsuccessful attempts at buying out it's competitors. This displaces power. With enough power and media displacement facebook falls. It's really that simple. Facebook is betting on people to sell out (which they always do) and for users to pay the price.
> We should stop treating users & citizens as complete morons who need daddy state to take care of them.

We're treating them as intelligent human beings who can't possibly master knowledge of all the technology, confidentiality, and its implications in a world of analytics and adtech. Even I can only imagine some of it.

Should we educate users to choose safe anesthesia and surgical techniques? To choose proper exotic financial instruments? I think we should require doctors to provide safe anesthesia, Wall Street to provide safe investments, and anyone handling user data to provide confidentiality and end-user control.
Figured out that you could try an old technique that was already known to have superior results when it works before performing a newer type of operation? Seems quite a weak discovery if it's a discovery a all. Maybe the author didn't understand what was significant about his work so accidentally missed that.
Ugh yes. That does my head in.

Also try driving the new stuff with a keyboard.
Is there a benefit over just putting it in a boat/coastal building and using water (perhaps pumped from some depth) for cooling?
Thank you, it's frustrating constantly being told that there's no good reason to rip on Microsoft today. I don't hate Microsoft out of righteous anger at proprietary software or some grudge from the 90s; Their software sucks today.

It's so disingenuous to say that "oh well Microsoft isn't organized enough to be evil". Mustache-twirling villainy isn't the fear with 2018 Microsoft. The fear is that they'll just ruin things they acquire just like they ruin their own software, and possibly ruin markets they wade into due to their sheer size.

You don't need to be organized to ruin things. You don't even need to be evil.
Maybe I should learn how to use SourceTree, but using an abstraction over git kind of makes me nervous because I don't know what it's doing in the background. I suppose it would be pretty simple to learn what it's doing, but I just prefer knowing exactly what git commands I'm running.

I use the IntelliJ IDE family's visual conflict resolution tool so I guess it wouldn't be a big step to start using SourceTree. Realistically the only git commands I use are add, commit, rebase, push and pull.
It will in a year I think. And with point and click integration with Azure CI tools.
FCC Made Up DDOS Attack to Downplay the 'John Oliver Effect'
I'd be curious to know the specific benefits of the Orkney Isles to this project; when I hear the renewable research there being referenced (by family there, some of whom are directly involved) they always claim the major benefit is the close proximity of different underwater conditions, with some of the greatest range in tide.

Yet I assume this isn't particularly useful for a datacentre of a well understood shape that doesn't intend to use the conditions to create power through novel designs.
I was just thinking of writing something like this to practice algorithms. Glad to see it exists already.
> Threadripper is already memory bound

This depends heavily on your workflow. If you find TR memory bound, then you want a server part. TR has 4 memory controllers that will each do DDR4-3200 in TR2 per TFA. That should be able to push ~95 GiB/s.

What do you compare that against?

Intel's highest end HEDT part, i9 7980XE with 18 cores, only supports DDR4-2666 and has the same number of controllers, so it should hit ~80 GiB/s. It retails for $2000.

If you want more memory bandwidth you're either buying an even more expensive Xeon, or an AMD Epyc part.

I can see how this rubs people, but rationally, what difference would it realy make if they run on Google's or Amazon's infrastructure instead?
Even 'own servers' would still be hosted in some major data center, connectivity served by the same corporate telcos.
Why wouldn't Amazon do the same then when they have a higher market cap than Google and a known reputation to loss-lead an entire vertical to the tune of 100s of millions just to put a competitor out of business?
The tools don't exactly choose the color. They choose a color name from a palette. Your terminal's theme defines that palette.

If your terminal has a background very close to one of the colors on that palette, that is a theme problem, not an app problem.
Should be a better network and help with scaling.
Troubleshoot the Roku Issues
And even with an ordinary socket, mITX boards have anemic amounts of PCIe lanes. One of the top selling points of TR is the huge number of PCIe lanes for a non-server part. All ATX boards around launch were required to support the full complement of physical lanes. A mITX configuration would have both anemic PCIe and anemic memory.
Are you suggesting that Indians can't pay $1/yr? That would be... inadvisable.
Nice find.

Not much to look at yet but interesting notes & comments in there.

I love how one of HotSpot's main author's java style is so unceremonious and bare bones.
Definitely. On the other hand, many early TR boards were "gamer" boards and advertised overclocking ability. So they may have some power overhead to play with. Less overclocking ability with the old boards and the new 250W parts, of course.
A solution that I personally prefer, because the common form looks weird for me:

You aren’t wrong - for some things. I think it’s a spectrum.

For the things I work on, and frankly always have, I spend most of my time in the “R” part of R&D. Now granted, I’ve never worked on classical “business” or CRUD type problems.

It’s natural to think that once you have lots of experience, that estimating will be easier. In my experience, I found myself simply tackling harder or unique problems. Instead of getting comfortable, you find yourself mostly operating at the edge of your competence. This is great fun [1] but makes estimating pretty hard.

[1] I personally enjoy being on the “black diamond” part of the learning curve. (“Black diamond” = most difficult ski trail)
The US military is efficient at what it does, generally speaking - it is the product of a can't fail fighting force, and all the implications that come out of that.

As an enlisted infantry Marine who transitioned very easily into software engineering, I find my leadership training in the Marine Corps a distinct advantage I have over my peers. I have been called the best manager other engineers have ever had by multiple people, as well as called the best engineer many have worked with.

The only thing I wish is more people understood what true leadership looked like, and that is one thing I generally have missed from my time in the Marine Corps. The principles are probably some of the best set of general leadership principles you can find out there and they prove their worth day in, day out.
This can't be a new idea. Or is it that it's only now become possible to do such a thing?
If that was that simple, we would already have the year of Linux Desktop Games, we don't and never will.

Yeah, I know about Steam on Linux, just a tiny drop of Steam on Windows.

This is for me the dissonance between agile methodologies and reality. Agile methodologies assume having a flexible scope and time due to the project unknowns (technical, business, social, etc.). But usually budgeting in the real world is required to follow: I promise to deliver X scope that’s going to cost Y dollars in Z time.
In the early days of a software project, the most likely people to use it are business programmers: front line devs who have no say in corporate policy.

Typically, they want to use your code to save their own time. The code rarely does exactly what they need, so they almost always need to make changes. And since they are required under their NDA not to disclose any company related work, this prevents them from incorporating your code.

I have no feelings about this one way or another, but it's an answer to your question.

Dispatch is the responsibility of the developer in Akka via a switch statement. In Orleans it is automatic and occurs via interface. That's just one example (of many) of how Orleans is aesthetically similar to basically everything else in .Net. Akka would feel familiar to Java developers, Orleans feels familiar to .Net developers and I work with more of those. Given Akka's heritage, it is likely richer than Orleans - but avoiding training is more valuable to us.

The only difference is that a post on Twitter has artificially limited size. This is a restriction imposed by Twitter and as such could be handled by them - for example by showing a short summary + a link to full message for posts that were imported from other networks.
Personally I prefer to break things into three steps:

First put the equation into the form

x² = 2ax + b

Now complete the square:

(x – a)² = a² + b

Finally,

x = a ± √(a² + b)

If I understand correctly, the issue is moral rights (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_rights). In some jurisdictions, including Germany, these rights cannot be waived.

For example, in such a jurisdiction, if I release a piece of code under a public domain equivalent license, you would have to give me credit as the author even if the license explicitly says you don't have to: the right to be identified as the author is a moral right that I cannot waive, legally.
You focus too much on the "speech" part, it isn't like zero cost software is compared to beer. The "free as in speech" is used to disambiguate between the "price vs freedom" use of "free", not to put any connotation between software and speech.

"Free as in speech, not beer" is really a short way to say "when we use the word 'free' here, we do it with the meaning that is used in the phrase 'free speech' as opposed to the meaning used in the phrase 'free beer'".
They don't really eat them, correct. Instead they force the bacteria to produce new phages until it explodes under internal pressure and dies.

Plus, phages are viruses, unlike roundworms and the like, they can survive centuries without food.

They also, as mentioned, account for 30% of death in marine life every day, biggest killer organism on this planet.

There is phage-therapy too, an alternative to anti-biotics, where you are given a dosage of phages in an infected area. Due to their nature they only attack specific strains of bacteria and can easily eradicate the entire population within a few hours.
Cryptocurrency is security speculation masquerading as a technology breakthrough
Because Web never will catch up with native, is changing into yet another VM just to try to keep up with mobile, and mobile is only a money maker when doing consulting and selling training, the apps gold rush is gone.
