>I find it considerably faster and easier to input hànzì on a smartphone than with a physical keyboard

As a native Chinese speaker I find the opposite.

>when the hànzì are presented directly above the on-screen keyboard

It's basically the same for most of "proper" PC IME. They start to appear when you're typing pinyin, and then you choose with numbers or space (for first one).

Showcase: https://i.imgur.com/gQGKw11.gif

So, IMHO there is no obvious advantage that smartphone's IME has over PC's here. And the speed of typing on physical keyboards beats smartphone by a mile, overally speaking.

---

However, I DO found that most of Japanese (which I'm a second-language user) IME on PC I tried having the problem that, you have to press some key (normally `enter` or `space`) to start "convert", and even another input to start choose between candidates, which is very tedious because you have to keep pressing `space` which IMO shouldn't be necessary

(Note: It was how most Chinese IME (Like Zhineng ABC) worked 10 years ago, but they got rid of redundant inputs later.)

Showcase (MS JP input, I knew it's not the best, so feel free to let me know how other IME function in these scenarios!): https://i.imgur.com/hwml1Sf.gif

Notice that I have to press space once first to enter "convert mode" (which breaks down your inputs to groups), and then press space again (for the first group) to make the candidates appear. I really don't get why it can't be like the Chinese IME.

Mind actually sounds like a game version of those many ‘island of logician’ logic puzzles, where you have some absurd scenario where a bunch of people are unable to communicates but have some non mutual information and you need to figure out how many nights it takes for them all to figure out what happened.
For reference, we're seeing close to 5,000 instances of Intel AMT that are exposed to the Internet:

True. I should have specified that I was thinking more along the lines of safety regulations etc., where generally General Aviation is less strictly checked.
To build on this, we distrusted the actual servers in the rack for the following:

1. Out of band devices to administer boot fail incidents, serially controlled

2. PDU (Power distribution Unit). Supplied with 2 different power sources. Provides dual power per server on rack. Controlled by ethernet.

3. Firewall rules that prevent the managed crap (iLO and the like) from working.

The only recent issue my previous job had, was in a junior sysad installed apache tomcat with default creds. Can't really fix user error - but the above rules at least stop malicious intent from manufacturers. Mostly.
> For servers they tend to be taken out of commission when the service they provide is migrated to a whole new platform

Or when the service contract expires or is too expensive to extend. You can't run a server of any importance without a service contract; it can be the difference between all the server's users and services being down for hours or a more than a week, and between IT management keeping their job for hours or longer.
> The interview was a procedural formality, not something that would have been particularly useful in its own right.

No, it was to assess the facts and see whether the case had merit. The police do not arrest someone on every accusation of crime (although in this case the victim made statements saying they didn't wish Assange to be charged).

> Assange's paranoid fantasies

By that do you mean Hillary Clinton's repeated statements on how Assange should be dealt with?

Additionally, this wasn't a domestic abuse case. Aardin and Assange were having casual sex, not a long term relationship as is typical in domestic cases.
This is the first I've heard of LiMux. What a frustrating tragedy, and presumably due to a little corruption. Open source software could be perfect for government operations.

You could have a free open set of standards at all levels ensuring compatibility with everyone. Each entity being able to improve the software for their needs and potentially sharing it with other governments (city/state gov. trading between each other). And while probably saving a bundle, both in software AND hardware costs because no force obsolescences of hardware due to updates in software.
I'm not sure it really is a good thing that being too good at something is leading to pigeonholing. It's a shame that what was before (or for other discipline) named mastery is now just seen as relegating from higher levels. Can you pigeonhole in medicine? Nuclear physics ? Professional football /sports ? Cooking ? I could go on. I'd frankly rather have people with less high level view and more knowing what it really means to do something before deciding to do it.
The thing is, you don't want to index pointers. You only want to index a particular kind of "indexable pointers." They should be separate constructs, even if you don't have fat pointers.

Edit: That is more useful if you have function overloading, or templates, to avoid touchy ambiguities. It's still a slightly useful distinction to have in C, just for human readability.

I think woah means that the top would be open. So instead of a cube it'd be an open box. A heat sink (or arrangement of peltier coolers attached to a fan and heat sink, or whatever) would fit down into the box and be in contact with the five core-containing sides.

To be fair, it's not completely self evident in the sense that monetary inequality is the only incentive to improve. There are other kinds of inequality. Social status, for instance, rewards improvement, although it's very different.
It's a question of priorities. It depends whether your goal is to maximize productivity and minimize the defect rate, or if your goal is to tell people they need to pay attention.

Looking at the wikipedia page on red dwarf stars[1], it appears a small star (M9V) might have 8% of the sun's radius and 0.015% of its luminosity. Thus, it would have about 156 times less area, and 2.3% of the output per area of the sun. So taking your figure as given, that means it would be less than 500W / cm^2.

> ME is used to remotely control the processor like in a datacenter

It's used to remotely manage almost all aspects of the computer; it's a parallel, out-of-band subsystem, complete with its own processor, memory and OS.

It's very useful for managing computers at scale and at physical distances. Imagine making changes to thousands of computers; manual, one-at-a-time, hands-on solutions are very inefficient and error-prone. Imagine a campus or office building where the average distance from the IT support office to the computer is 20 minutes. Staff can spend most of their time in transit: 20 minutes there, 10 minute fix, 20 minutes back. 80% of the IT labor budget is paying people to walk.

But I agree; there's no reason the computer's owners shouldn't have the power to disable it if they choose.

I was thinking by either creating a temperature differential on a copper conductor to chill the cube from within or that the motherboard/walls would provide cooling from the pin side.
It's also a bit strange in that Flow and TypeScript are competing JS language extensions with nearly the same goals and scope, yet TypeScript is seen as its own language and Flow isn't. And, of course, JSX isn't valid JavaScript, but React programmers view themselves as writing code in JS. IMO, it would be better to put TypeScript projects in the JavaScript category and optionally have more detailed stats on the different JavaScript variants.

When I introduced TypeScript to my team at work, one of the things that I had to emphasize was that TypeScript isn't a new language; it looks and behaves just like JS, it just has some new syntax to declare types.

I suppose the practical matter here is that GitHub language stats can distinguish TypeScript because it uses the .ts extension, while other JS variants just stick with .js (and JSX sometimes is .jsx, but not always).
Two problems with the AGPL.

The first is that it doesn't really stop commercialization, it's perfectly possible to make a commercial service using open source components.

The second is that I'm of the opinion that it may fail once tested in court, basically for the reasoning laid out here [0] (not sure if the author of that is a lawyer, I've seen lawyer's express that position before though).

I'd agree with you regarding Python and Kotlin, but Go is pretty clearly anti-functional. It does include closures but little else, and Rob Pike is pretty clear as to the preference for imperative (e.g. for loops) over functional (e.g. map/reduce/etc.) style.
I’m guessing that Safari’s WebGL implemtation is Metal-based.
There should be a market for business desktops which don't have the ME, and don't have the keys for decrypting paid video content. You don't need your employees watching movies on their work machine, and the security is better.
Yup i also were enthusiast with my grandfather modern typewriter which had a one line alphanumeric LCD where you could type one line, re read and correct it and it would print it only when you pressed return.
What if the cooling came from the pin side of the chip? Then the surface area is the same
Inside the rise and reign of supergiant venture capital rounds
"For heat dissipation you want the most surface area per volume (because you can only transfer heat away in the surface area). The optimal arrangement for that would be a huge, flat, one atom thick surface."

Made me think of this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menger_sponge

Say we have roughly 300 sq mm, that's about 17.32 mm square, which is 8.24e+7 silicon atoms (0.21 nm) across.

Then we have a surface area of roughly 1.36e+16 atoms - the area x 2.

If we make a fractal sponge down to the limit of single atoms, then that's about 16.5 cycles of removing cubes from a 17.32 mm cube. Let's ignore the difficulty of doing it half a time. According to the formulas from wikipedia, the result has a volume of about 0.7% of the original, with 2.4e28 "sides" of atoms exposed.

So the third dimension gets you about 1.8 million times the surface area. I suppose this isn't nearly as good as 4e10 flat sheets with 1 atom separation between each, but you could argue it's more practical because everything is connected...

I'm no tax expert, and it's certainly counter to current political powers at nearly every level of government, but if one looks at inputs into a robot's operating costs as income, and taxes the operator as an employer obligated to pay their share of income and FICA taxes, we could likely see higher long-term employment and training of workers as well as continued solvency for social safety net programs.

Edit: Of course, at some uncalculated cost to high-growth innovation investment opportunities. Because greater-good is a tricky balance.

> somewhat less expensive

Only in the sense that the Atlantic Ocean has "somewhat less water" than the Pacific. :-) Over $4K for a "desktop development system". That's not personal computing. That's small scale enterprise computing, which is too small a market to make a dent in Intel and AMD. Their prices need to come down by an order of magnitude to make this technology a significant player.
vPro is branding for several related products. ME is a platform with its own CPU, memory and OS, on which applications can be run. One common application is AMT, which provides remote management services.

> A polarizing title, The Mind is either a work of minimalist genius or "not even really a game." Essentially, you get a deck of cards with numbers from 1 to 100 on them. Each player gets a certain number of cards each round (it increases each round), and then everyone must play those cards to the table, in ascending order, without speaking or signaling.

As children, my siblings, friends, and I played a game very similar to "The Mind". Starting at one, the group had to count by ones up to as large a number as possible. Anyone could speak at anytime, but if you said a number when someone else was speaking you all lost.

The mechanic is slightly different than "The Mind", but the tension from deciding when to speak was similar to the tension of deciding when to play your card.

To me, "The Mind" feels a bit too simplistic and childish to win game of the year. But perhaps others relish its simplicity.
My biggest issue with GitLab is that it's core 95% use case UX is just significantly weaker than GitHub's.

This may seem subjective, and it certainly is to some extent, but I've used both platforms pretty extensively and I find GitHub's UX so much cleaner and more usable every time.

All I'm saying is that it's a way of thinking about it. It clearly helped the author think about "rasterized 2D screen-space triangles" rather than "something something 3D".
They clearly had some misconception and "WebGL is a 2D API" helped clear it up.

I'm not saying it's the one true way to think about 3D graphics APIs, or that it's wrong or right.

I can imagine that in this case Netflix would just have to change the price model somewhat: Make the first month much more expensive than the following ones to give a disincentive for canceling the subscription. At least this pricing model is applied by many software companies who love to sell subscriptions for their software.

If WebGL were a 2D API, it would have made it impossible to do this kind of work. Also VR in general.
For those interested in writing their own JPEG decoder (a highly recommended exercise --- it doesn't take all that long, actually) I suggest these two detailed articles:

https://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/jpeg-decoder.html

https://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/jpeg-huffman-coding.h...

Of course, there are also plenty of other "write a JPEG decoder/encoder tutorial" articles out there, of varying quality --- which if anything proves that it's not actually so hard. The standard contains a surprisingly simple and elegant flowchart description of the Huffman encoder/decoder.

The more modern JPEG 2000 encoding based on wavelets can be pushed much farther before visible artifacts appear, and includes a surprisingly efficient lossless mode. Of course,
all this improvement is rather moot until common applications actually support it.

That was 12 years ago, and J2K is still pretty much unknown outside of niche applications. I'm not sure what they mean by "surprisingly efficient lossless mode", but decoding J2K is slower than regular JPEG by at least an order of magnitude if not more. The lack of articles about how to write decoders/encoders, or even just how it works in detail, is another sign of its relative obscurity. I've been studying the standard on and off for a few months, intending to write an article or even a decoder, but haven't gotten around to it yet. It is certainly an order of magnitude more complex.
I use both GL and GH every day. And I find GH's UX is much weaker, e.g. it doesn't remember last used sort options on the issues page which is huge annoying.

So this is subjective.
This situation is not caused by complicated Japanese input methods. This is caused by young generation who don't use traditional computer with the keyboard.

It's another digital divide. Yes.

The generation who didn't have a personal computer in their young age is starting to retire.

Current 30s-40s years old workers are varies on computer literacy but many had a personal computer when they were a student. I belong to this generation.

I was hoping that the next generation will be completely digital native and all of them has computer literacy. Just laugh us and obliterate us from work force for we can't stand a chance against such a gifted digital native generation at birth. Just like we get rid of those annoying old people who don't have a computer literacy.

The invention of smartphone make that dream not happens. The smartphone makes people stupid. There is nothing smart about that computer.

The smartphone is inefficient and restricted computer. You don't have a freedom to choose the OS. You don't even have a root access to that very computer you own. It doesn't have a keyboard which is the most efficient input device for text. The smartphone is designed for reading the text, not for writing. So the young generation starting to lose the ability to write the text.

What makes me surprise is, that current students use the smartphone to read the papers, to write the necessary essay and reports necessary for graduation.

The fresh young generations who has just graduated enter the working class without learning how to use the keyboard. But the real work which involve a lot of text writing requires efficient input device such as the keyboard.

So the current trending of smartphone reduce the effective good workers from already reducing younger population in Japan.

I refuse to own a phone. Smartphone is the worst invention of our time. It disrupt attention, reduce computer literacy, or even plain literacy for it makes harder to write the text for most of them.

I kinda feel like this has become the new "middlebrow dismissal". It seems superficially insightful, but doesn't actually say anything useful. Sure, many - hell, maybe even most - people don't need (machine learning | quantum computing | big data | a partridge in a pear tree | whatever). But plenty do.

Merely pointing out this dichotomy doesn't do anything to help people understand when they do, or don't, need those things.

How about a comment along the lines of "Here's how to know when you need to use quantum computing, and how to know when you shouldn't"?
