There still is not, but there are blueprints for implementing it. If we had more than a man-month of development effort spent per month, we might actually get to it...

Maybe. But if that's the one con vs. all the aforementioned pros to having our own kernel, why is that such a problem, really? If the system really is "that much better," then users will be fine with buying specific hardware, at least until we can get the time and resources to support more.

I made a lot of family members really mad yesterday by saying exactly this. Then I looked up some stats. The numbers are a few years out of date, but UNICEF estimates that 29,000 children under the age of five die of preventable causes every day [1]. And those kids didn't do anything wrong to get themselves a death sentence. Now ask yourself how many of those kids could have been saved with the amount of money, manpower, and attention being devoted to the Thai soccer team.

Stuff like this gets pretty sad if you think about it in utilitarian terms.

So long as the professional divers have full control over the "package", it shouldn't be a deal breaking issue. Detach the tank, move them through separately, just as the divers themselves do.

It's certainly not safe, as the loss of the recent diver has shown.
I'm aware of Slug (and other GPU font rendering techniques). Slug, however, doesn't have subpixel AA (it doesn't make sense for it to, since its main goal is fitting in a 3D scene), and requires a moderately expensive (read: hard to do realtime) up-front bake process which converts the font into a pair of textures.
Nice, I've heard of it before but never used. How is deployment compared to Spark?

Not sure guardian understands how training AI works.
What is Musk thinking? First the bouncy castle tube and now a solid-walled submarine? He really has no appreciation for the cave environment.

Tight spots in caves aren't tubes. They are irregular twisty-turning CAVES. Some squeezes (the term of art for the narrow bits where you have to remove gear) are so tight that you cannot take a full breath. Any solid object more than a couple feet long will be stuck very quickly. Now imagine that in the dark, not seeing more than a few inches in front of your face. Then add a swift current constantly trying to separate you from your air supply. When a hardened cave diver calls something "gnarly" take it to mean a claustrophobic nightmare that would send 99% of us into a lethal panic attack.

Worse yet, imagine this sub becoming wedged in a squeeze. Setting aside the terrified kid dying inside, the only way to or from the twelve others is now blocked.

I'm a diver but no expert on caves. I've been in dry caves and have dove a couple lava tubes, but I would never tell proper cave divers how to do their thing. If I were the King I would airlift every possible drilling rig in Asia. I'd turn that mountain into a wiffle ball in the hopes that one breaks through, or at least add more places for pumps.
No, I really don't :)

Shibboleth is _the_ gold standard when it comes to SAML. I'm at the point where I don't recommend anything else, and I'm willing to help people deploy it (contact info in profile).

For this use case, they'd also need to configure JAAS.
> It's also easier to implement non-gamma correct blending,

Gamma correct blending doesn’t require threading the information through multiple graphics layers, as the parent comment put it. The difficulty of a gamma correct blending implementation isn’t even remotely close to the difficulty of subpixel AA.

> so good look getting a non-Jobs type to see the importance.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean. Mac was the first major PC platform that had configurable gamma correction and color calibration in the OS. It used to be known as the platform for designers, and more people using Mac cared about color and gamma for display and print than for any other platform.

> Not everyone wants high DPI... I prefer more real estate instead of detail

You actually don’t want high DPI even if you can have it on a large monitor? Or do you mean you prioritize monitor size over resolution?

Low DPI is not going to be a choice in the future... the near future. And once it’s gone, it’s never coming back.

> This is a terrible decision

Can you elaborate on how it affects you personally? Since you know about gamma, you do know the difference between LCD subpixel AA and regular AA, right? For some people, subpixel AA is blurrier than regular AA. For me, I see slight improvement, but it is by no means some sort of deal breaker. I’m not clear what the outrage is about, can you explain?
I see. I read it as 1 year on, 1 year off.
Yup, except:

- (in plane's favour) taxi lines at train stations in Beijing are much longer than those at the airport

I had this same experience.

I went to UIUC for Computer Engineering (I think it was #3 at the time), but my differential equations class was taught by someone with such a thick german accent it was impossible to understand. At least 100 people in the class, and no TAs that I can remember. Failed that course.

Took it over the summer at the local community college for much cheaper, and it was so much easier, smaller class (about 15), and then transferred the credit back to UIUC and didn't have to take it again at UIUC with the same professor who I couldn't understand the first time.
> "Suits make a corporate comeback," says the New York Times. Why does this sound familiar? Maybe because the suit was also back in February, September 2004, June 2004, March 2004, September 2003, November 2002, April 2002, and February 2002.

> Why do the media keep running stories saying suits are back? Because PR firms tell them to. One of the most surprising things I discovered during my brief business career was the existence of the PR industry, lurking like a huge, quiet submarine beneath the news. Of the stories you read in traditional media that aren't about politics, crimes, or disasters, more than half probably come from PR firms.

> I know because I spent years hunting such "press hits." Our startup spent its entire marketing budget on PR: at a time when we were assembling our own computers to save money, we were paying a PR firm $16,000 a month. And they were worth it. PR is the news equivalent of search engine optimization; instead of buying ads, which readers ignore, you get yourself inserted directly into the stories.

> And then every package comes with its own libraries

Only if they aren't part of the base OS set. This is how basically every operating system except BSD and Linux do things, and they have an order of magnitude more adoption than the Linux Desktop. Hell Android even uses the Linux kernel and has an appstore and still does that.

> It's the same reason that Linux (the kernel) emphatically refuses to support out of tree drivers.

Well no, that's because they insist that drivers can be better maintained (because it forces them to be open) and don't have to tie their hands supporting an ABI. As an example of the downside of this policy, see nVidia drivers on Linux.

Yes, it's a tradeoff, but there are a lot of downsides to package management that its proponents completely ignore. Case in point: the prevalence of using containers to run software without having to deal with conflicts created by trying to intermingle everyone's dependencies, or install up to date software without having to go through some repo, or distributing for multiple distros without having to maintain packages in two dozen repositories.

Even Linus distributes with AppImage. Probably just a stupid Windows user.
Publicizing having removed an egg from a salad emoji makes sense in the corporate definition of "inclusiveness".

In this thread you’ve said that you only fly private and that your father has a personal driver. Congratulations to you/him on your success in life, but something tells me that both of you have ID if this is the case.
Life is entirely a series of random outcomes. You have no choice of who your parents are, you have no choice of what month you're born, what socioeconomic stratum you're born into, your inherent intellectual capacity, your genetic propensity, or your gender, and this is all just at birth.

While hard work can certainly allow you to capitalize on opportunities that come along, you have almost zero ability to create opportunities yourself. My current economic status is exactly because I randomly received an offer and worked my butt off to achieve success. Someone I know who is just as competent as myself isn't nearly as successful simply because he hasn't had the same lucky break. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs both worked hard, but both had random chance heavily weighed by who their parents were at birth which allowed them access to computing in a way that wasn't generally available.

Agreed on sentiments, critical discussion is important.

The navigation uses anchor tags, these are identified by 'id' and not 'name', therefore not HTML5. This only works because some browsers are generous like that.

The document is not complicated, there are H1 tags followed by lots of p tags in sections.

There is no reason to use classes to style this content or to use a stylesheet that is 96% unused. There is also no need for a huge amount of normalise.css if you are not using forms or anything else 'tricky'.

The content unstyled is still readable on some lame Internet Explorer browser, so normalise is not needed. Stuff can look different. That is allowed.

For visual hierarchy those h1 tags could be h2 after the document title/heading. CSS grid would work nicely to get the white space right with a handful of lines of CSS. Such a trimmed stylesheet for this document could fit on a screen and could therefore be inlined, not externally loaded and made 20 times bigger than it should be.

Actually if you look at the document outline it is all over the place. Things get nested deeper and deeper. The structure should look better than that but it gets thrown off by things like the advert in the middle making subsequent sections sub-sections of the advert according to the outline. A <nav> tag around the TOC would help with the document outline.

The address tag should also be used for attribution at the bottom and the figure tag should be used for images if accessibility matters, coupled with picture and srcsets if you can magically generate them.

A couple of points regarding the content of the article:

I question the insistence on 'ask a designer' as I don't believe the best designers always call themselves 'designers'. Any 'ask a designer' comment is best qualified, e.g. 'ask an experienced user experience designer'.

The premise of 'design for a small screen first' is a conversation that needs to be re-framed as 'design for all devices, all input methods and all orientations' rather than this wireframe for mobile and that wireframe for desktop approach.

Responsive Web Design was a great idea five years ago but the game has moved on. Fluid typography, custom properties and other new HTML5 things such as CSS Grid can't be mocked up with Sketch or Adobe products. The design tools are stuck a generation behind what can be achieved, as are those that only know how to use said tools.

It is fine to have that content as unordered lists and lots of sections whilst you are working on your document structure. It is no good thinking 'burger menu first'. It is as silly to working on a car engine and confining yourself to working in just the engine bay and not on the workbench guided by someone's drawing of what the car with the bonnet/hood closed looks like.
Credstash uses KMS (in much the same way as AWS Secret Provider does) and AES-256 (which is a FIPS 140-2 validated algorithm) internally. If AWS's crypto validates, Credstash's will.
People tend to overestimate the actual complexity of code for a space shuttle; it's rocket science, therefore it must be some sort of complex black magic.

Most of the space shuttle is going to boil down to control theory. The code for a control system essentially looks like this:

while (true) {
readInputs();
smoothInputs();
computeUserDesiredSetpoints();
adjustVariablesToHitSetpoints();
makeActuatorsMove();
}

These functions are not computationally challenging. Even the complex mathematics boils down to "evaluate this function", and you can often get away without needing high precision if you have a feedback mechanism that can adjust for systematic error. There's also a lot of leeway on how simple or complex you can make the user direction: it is far more complex to implement a "perform a translunar injection orbit" than it is to say "burn thrusters at X heading at Y thrust for Z seconds" (think the difference between self-driving cars and cruise control).

BA tops the list at 1B revenue NYC to Heathrow. Virgin runs 80% as many flights on this same route, so they should be making in the ballpark of 800M revenue on that route. This is more than a number of other entrants on the list.

So I can only assume that the metric on display is something other than what the title and blog post communicate. It is something like,

- Select all airline-routes pairs.
- Group by endpoints and airline.
- Order by SUM(revenue) DESC.
- Drop duplicate routes.

That is, for any given route, they report the revenue of the highest revenue airline on that route. They select the top ten routes by the single airline making the most revenue on that route. This is an utterly zany metric and I can't imagine what use there is knowing it, but there you have it.
To make the study easier and better rounded, just add some material.

Rudin's Principles is really nice, especially in retrospect once understand it, but going in as a student it can seem quite severe. It's precise but not too severe -- he just makes you go a chapter or two before it becomes clear why he is doing what he is doing.

To help, my nutshell view is that mostly he is just trying to develop the Riemann (Stieltjes) integral. His main result is, the Riemann integral exists for continuous functions on compact sets. So, then, he needs to say what a compact set is. Well, the most relevant example is just a closed interval of real numbers such as [a,b]. So, why compact? Because every continuous function on a compact set is uniformly continuous, and that lets us know that the Riemann sums converge. What is compact? Every open cover has a finite subcover, and that lets us get uniform continuity. And, in R^n, a set is compact if and only if it is closed and bounded. So, Rudin needs to talk about closed versus open -- he does that on metric spaces although really he needs it only on R^n.

So, net, he starts with metric spaces and discusses open, closed, and compact. Then he shows that in R^n, compact is the same as closed and bounded. He shows that a continuous function on a compact set is uniformly continuous. Then, presto, he shows that the Riemann (or Riemann-Stieltjes if you wish) sums converge and the Riemann integral exists.

He does some nice work on infinite sequences and series, and the main reason is that he uses those tools to show lots of limits exist, e.g., for sines, cosines, and Fourier series.

There's more of value in Principles, but IMHO I gave you a good start to make the book easier. I wish I'd had been given that outline when I was working through Principles at 1+ hour a page.

But the Lebesgue integral in Royden is the one to take fully seriously.

Make Halmos the second or third text on linear algebra. And then look at some quantum mechanics where they discuss eigenvalues, eigenvectors, Hermitian, unitary, and the spectral decomposition! Right, the Halmos book is baby Hilbert space. Then look at some applied connections, e.g.,

where don't take the proofs very seriously but to see how physical science and engineering look at calculus of several variables.

Neveu is a great last probability text but not a good first text. So, before Neveu, look quickly, not very seriously, at whatever, including in some introductory statistics texts.

Also, Breiman's Probability is easier to read than Neveu. So, is K. L. Chung's competitive book. And there are others.

There is some more advanced material, e.g.,

I had 400 level EE classes with a couple guys who came up through community colleges. They weren't always prepared for the classes. It was ironic because it wasn't they didn't understand the previous material, but because they hadn't dealt with poor instructors and didn't have the relationships of the previous 3 years studying with the same people.

It was possible at the same university to walk into a lab and start working on joint projects with NASA, the NSA or local industry, where other local universities and community colleges don't offer as much in that regard. On the other hand those professors running the labs didn't really seem to care where the students came from, whether they were in high school or the community college up the road if they were willing to work.
