> The basic argument is that when you make seeing a doctor to get access to a drug optional, you also make it a luxury; it changes patient expectations and thus behavior.

It seems in the us, seeing a doctor already is a luxury.

You are already on the slippery slope if you allow public "ask your doctor about" advertisements for anything more substantial than mild painkillers or flu symptom remedies.

This type of aggressive drug ads is pretty much unique to the US. It's your MD's job to stay up to date with drug developments and prescribe what would work for you.
Presumably the Stormzy piece was an expression of their love for Grime music rather than an ad for the upcoming concert.

I wouldn't take PUBG as a compelling example. Most of what they do is WTF IMHO.
The game is famous for being laggy, buggy, crashy, and the servers down often. They also have a history of making very strange technilogical and features choices.

There is a reason the hype has gone down quite a bit...

Still sounds very wrong what they are doing though.
The language specification should guarantee that when you implement an algorithm from your algorithm book, you get the same time and space complexity as described in the book, with reasonably small constants. You should be able to hit your big-O target without knowing which "jets" get special treatment by the compiler. That's all I ask for, and it's not too much to ask.
I should have winked. It's a problem I'd love to have much more often.
Yeah I'm not sure what's going on there, the cores on the 2017 had to be maintaining a sustained 3.7 GHz clock or 0.6 GHz boost for the highest end option.

Might just be silicon lottery, might be the GPU thermals are interfering or maybe the 2018 would run faster with 2 cores disabled.
That's not really it at all. His point is that this laptop is significantly worse than other laptops in terms of throttling. To the point where the i9 renders slower than the i7 in his testing. That's pretty damning for a $300 upgrade.
Don't forget loggers! It seems like every C++ programmer wants to write their own logger. :-S
It also causes structural breakdown of aluminium, so if there's any of that anywhere nearby (or in the heatsink) it's a no-go.
Saying that reusing the Linux kernel is the same as being "just another Linux distribution" is the problem: most Linux distributions are just Unix clone: if you create a VMS, a BeOS, a MacOS or Plan9 with a Linux kernel then what you have is a different OS with a Linux kernel not just a Unix clone.
Using the Linux kernel doesn't force you to be POSIX compatible (which is a double edged sword: you get a lot of software but you loose your "originality").
I expect the GPU generates heat as well. Which is why all the interest in external enclosures.

This entire thread is baffling to me. Everyone rushing to justify buying a new high performance laptop which they don’t mind throttling because they never needed the performance in the first place??
I don't think geo redundancy helps much. Your data is more likely to be corrupted by some software of the provider than some random storm, or by some common hardware used by the same provider,

If you need to be safe about your data, you NEED several cloud providers in different places, with different softwares and different countries.

Especially for data it is pretty easy to just back it in 2 really different places at different providers. Relying on the geo redundancy of ONE provider and having to pay for it seems a bit useless for me.

What's so evil about that?
No, I'm just claiming policy makers can be influenced by corporate boardrooms. I don't really have a solution for it, and I can't really say that I know whether or not this is a big problem that needs solving, but is there legal ways for companies to use board positions to affect policy makers? Yes.

Personally, I don't think it's the worst. I would rather they had to do this than get huge retirement packages as they do in my country after their service. Also, if their spouses can make a living being involved in business so politicians can't use sympathy for their poor family as leverage to get higher compensation that would be good too. But we can't handwave the issue of corporate influence over politicians however we choose to deal with this.
Nvidia has geforce now http://www.nvidia.com/object/cloud-gaming.html and people with good internet connection have been able to play FPS games. Granted, the latency and the FPS are worse than a local game, but surprisingly it is unnoticeable to many people.
It's the least "grinny" one though.
Not sure how your anecdata is any more or less valid than mine...
I believe Apple led the way by changing the emoji to one of a water pistol, and other companies (most notably, those that primarily run apps) changed theirs to follow suit.
As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, Backblaze is working on adding another datacenter.

Personally, I don't care whether a single provider has multiple datacenters or not, because I prefer to have redundancy across providers. But that's not the kind of recommendation that we're likely to see on the blog of one of those providers.

Running your CPU hotter doesn't significantly affect the lifespan of your device especially for longer sustained periods unless there's some glaring design defect as happened to Nvidia.

So that's actually pretty well optimized.
Oh that'd be enough for me, I'll give it a go.

What about the trackpad though? Of course the hardware feel is the same and great, but it doesn't move quite right, like it does with macOS, or you would with a mouse.
I think you are right, but I can still see why they chose certain trade offs. The most common use case for Go seems to be as servers (right? I am not a Go developer...) where latency is important, non-moving GC allows them to have low latency while not having the throughput hit of read barriers. Obviously this comes with certain trade-offs: e.g. slower allocation performance. OTOH interfacing to C becomes a bit easier, although that's even without that quite complicated in the case of Go. Also the language uses interior pointers a lot, which is simply more complicated with a moving GC.

> So they had a GC that scaled better. But it got killed by, you guessed it, the needs of batch jobs

Even in the JVM where you have multiple specialized GCs, the developers also look at each GC in workloads it wasn't designed for and that also seems to influence design decisions. For me this just means they focus on the server use case (=latency) but not at the cost of 50% throughput hit for the compiler (=batch job).
> Why don't companies just say what the code of conduct violation is?

Privacy? Maybe the CEO is an exception, but why would they? They made clear what it is not about. Say it's something that a few people might despise, why make this public. You only damage the person further.

Making something like this public about employees (not sure if there's an exception above some level) within Netherlands (GDPR and the law that came before it). And making public is wide; it includes an internal email. Source: HR explained a few things about GDPR and how it does some things were in place (and required) for quite some time.

I think it's supposed to render for a few dozen minutes fairly fast though and it fails at that. And I don't think it was 6K 3D footage either, considering the render time it was probably closer to 1080p60.

"You're using it wrong" (ie, "it's not supposed for" with different wording) has been a long time excuse for many Apple failures at this point and I'm tired of it.

This isn't a problem solely with the MacBook Pro - it affects most of the "ultralight" laptops these days.

My XPS 13 (lovely machine, thermal issues aside) has been RMA'd 3 times because it overheated. It still gets far too hot and throttles itself so I've had to underclock it and turn off "turbo" mode. Other users have mentioned that simply repasting the CPU has caused massive improvements in temps, but I'm personally not comfortable with messing around inside a $2000 laptop.

Users shouldn't have to cripple their hardware or actually fix components to make it work properly.
I don't think these statistics are correct. People in the Netherlands supposedly work 27 hours/week according to this data, whereas 36-40 hours is the common standard here. Even accounting for vacations et cetera that is terribly low.

Also from the data source: "The data are intended for comparisons of trends over time; they are unsuitable for comparisons of the level of average annual hours of work for a given year, because of differences in their sources and method of calculation."
The data is unsuitable for this article.
When I initially developed this tool it was because I wanted something faster then file(1). Now it's a library with Tcl binding and soon Python.

I guess advertising it as a faster tool was a mistake,
but the concept of nicko (groups, short output) is good
for scripting. it's fast and simple and the library is portable across unices.

Anyway thanks for the feedback!.

If you want to quickly measure (file-nicko):

$ time file -e elf /usr/bin/*

$ time nicko /usr/bin/*

On my system:

file(1):

real 0m1.254s
user 0m1.049s
sys 0m0.184s

nicko(1):

real 0m0.028s
user 0m0.010s

I'm not entirely sure how this works but I would think the developers of BattlEye decides and develops what it reacts to and not the PUBG developers? Why else would you use a third party solution?
Most strongly typed languages have such escape hatches ("Unsafe" in haskell, "Obj" in OCaml, "trustme" in Idris,....) . It's something you always need at some point when the typing is not sufficient to properly account for what you are doing.

For instance, Coq code can be extracted to OCaml code. OCaml type system is less powerful than Coq's, so Coq needs to cheat, and the emitted code is full of "unsafe" features. But the program was typechecked with Coq's type system, and is thus perfectly safe.

Of course, the goal of the language designer is to minimize its usage. That's something the Rust people understood very well, and the unsafe blocks are an extremely good solution to this problem.

It was an ad (though the two aren't mutually exclusive I guess). It's not made very clear in the article, but SUBSET (formerly Rabbit Hole Productions) are a commercial entity - as Rabbit Hole I've seen ads by them for things like recruitment agencies and Hollywood movies.

Grey Area does appear to be a non-commercial (if self-promotional) project.

I'm also surprised the Maser Repeal mural hasn't been mentioned, as it's a similar story: this is a mural that was commissioned by a theatre in Dublin on the theatre's wall in support of the abortion referendum campaign. It was first removed due to a lack of planning permission; after they acquired proper planning permission it was later removed after a complaint by the charity regulator that it violated the theatre's stated charitable purpose and would lose them their charitable status. It finally got a third iteration on the wall of Amnesty International Ireland nearby.

Windows use the local time zone (for historical reason, explained in the sibling comment), so if you dual boot it makes sense to keep the same behavior, otherwise you will have time issues when booting the other OS. If you only use Linux just go for UTC.

But that depends on what you’re trying to test. If you want to test your DSL/cable/fiber connection (and nothing else), it’s actually good if the ISP is hosting the test server.

If you want to measure the speed you’ll realistically experience in the wild, including your ISP’s peerings and whatnot, that’s another question.

I am not sure why you are referring to Linux (macos kernel is XNU), but the firmware of the chip is in charge of controlling the CPU clockspeed and the only reason it is hitting this limiter is because the CPU does not have correct cooling, nothing to do with the OS.

COBOL was designed to be intuitive, self-documenting and highly readable. Generally speaking expressiveness seems to be more important than intuitiveness.
Given how off many of the details are in this article, I don't know that the authors have a very deep understanding of the f2p game economy. So it's hard to trust anything beyond "f2p games are used with stolen credit cards" part. Which is true, but not exactly news.

Most importantly they keep harping on about how Supercell should be doing more to ban accounts that tranfer illicit gems between accounts, or how each gem should have an individual hash so that it could be tracked to the source, etc. Well, given that gems are not and never have been transferrable between accounts in those games, having it be a bannable offense would have no effect at all. And the chain of ownership is always going to be exactly one step long.

(Yes, any game that makes the premium currency or items transferrable is inviting a lot of abuse. It's not just stolen credit cards, it'll also be account hijacks since they'd be very lucrative. Just drain all the victims items before they can recover the account. Optionally you can also buy more items with the victim's already registered CC at the same time. So if a game does support these kinds of transfers, it's good to be deeply suspicious about the motives of the creators. But afaik it's simply not the case for any of the Supercell games that this article talks about.)

And then that table showing the scale of the problem is pretty bizarre. The stated revenue numbers must be off by around a factor of 5. I thought for a moment it was talking about the scale of the abuse they've deteted. But then that'd mean the scammers are using 100M Google accounts to wash 20k credit cards/month. That's too absurd to be true.

Yeah, that kind of derogatory down-playing of another culture reeks of classic cold-war rhetoric. I hope we can do without that type of othering.

There is also Intel's ISA-L: https://github.com/01org/isa-l

It contains optimized Galois Field multiplication, resulting in Reed Solomon (both Vandermonde as well as Cauchy) at multiple GB/s on a modern x86 CPU.

Still, I doubt that the Reed Solomon coding speed is the limiting factor in their rebuild time. There is a mention of a 6-day duration, so even with a very slow Reed Solomon implementation ( ~ 100 MB/s) that should not be a bottleneck for a 10 TB drive rebuild (assuming a distributed rebuild approach, not a traditional RAID style rebuild).
Netherlands has (one of?) the highest rates of part time work, which would explain this disparity if you're thinking only of full time norms.

Definitely finding that second chart confusing. The Y-Axis on both sides goes to 100. Are they the same metric (redundant) or different ones? And of course the bigger question is, what is it depicting? The preceding paragraph isn't helping in terms of context.
Isn't it common for older Japanese to keep working? Maybe they do fewer hours, skewing the metrics?
