How do you not understand the hate? He's perfect for it, and getting better every day. He's cocky, quick to respond, and occasionally an asshole. He's a pseudo celebrity - everyone knows about him so discussing him appeals to a wide audience. He dates and associates with other famous people - big gossip mills can run solely on that. There's already dedicated crowds of people who like and dislike him fanatically - lefties love to hate him because he's rich, white, and male, and righties love to because he sucks up government money and uses it on ''bogus'' clean energy initiatives. It doesn't even matter what your angle is, I know an engineer who simply thinks combustion engines are superior and that Musk is an idiot for ever trying to make electric cars 'premium'. That has nothing to do with politics or image but I have seen it start Musk-hating trains.

The mix of controversy, zeitgeist, everything. He's literally the perfect person to rag on for Internet points. If he had a social IQ greater than 0 and actually cared about improving his public image he would restrict his tweeting severely and try to appear more aloof.

I use to really like Elon, not just his work but also his personality. He used to come off as quiet, even a little strange. His recent personal and professional failings have become so public, and he is handling them so poorly - it's tarnishing him.
Most people I knew called it being online or on the internet in the mid to late '90s. A lot of people I knew used applications like Free Agent and mIRC and a certain GUI FTP client (which I can't remember the name of).
Yes, they can only survive so long with their revenues shrinking like they have been...
I'm probably imagining things, but this sounds mostly like internal politics. Why would a CEO hand over the reins and then less than 2 months later return indefinitely? The succession was announced in January and was apparently part of a "well planned" transition to move Brian Crutcher to the CEO position. I couldn't find a quote from Rich Templeton on the move, which seems strange for a "well planned" transition.

My guess: The two have been exercising "pointy elbows" for a while now and this is the fallout. But like, I said, it's pure speculation...
We don't live in a monogamous society any longer. Divorce and cheating is absolutely rampant.
#5 is a bit of a double-edged sword, isn't it? All RNGs that I know of would require a shared seed value, and with procedural generation, you can effectively path any/everywhere in parallel.

They're not ultimately gaussian. :) The normal distribution is continuous and has unbounded support whilst neither the binomial or Poisson ate cts and unbounded.
Long-time desktop developer’s who didn’t touch react and even web fe/be until last year opinion here.

While Vue is obviously a kick-starter to frontend programming that makes templating easy and unix-y light, I still have few complaints. First, it is not obvious or easy to start with components. Separate files, build ecosystem, props handling, all this. What I want is to reference ‘that last place’ in html and have a copy of that template right here that would capture props like un-hygienic macros of C would do. Iow, my style of small apps doesn’t map well to heavy isolated-component based style of thinking. I don’t want to wash my hands every five minutes when I’m at home.

Second, vue forces you to be fully contained in .data and .methods. I would like to bind to any data and function roots, including window itself, but it’s obviously a bad idea to pass window to vue vm for now. But still, it would be nice to forget that vue exists at all at the source level and have just a bunch of vars, functions and [3rd-party] modules at global level and that’s it. Now I have to export methods to vue by hand and to have all the state pre-defined, as if it wasn’t clear how my state is structured from {{these expressions}} alone. I often find that something doesn’t show because I forgot to init data.key = { k2: “” }.

Third, you cannot ‘chroot’ without making a component. Would be nice to write something like <template v-with=‘client.contacts’> and then reference ‘phone’, ‘address’, etc without a prefix. With copy-style described above it would replace the need for components for me for ages, even if I meet that need.

Still my jquery experiments can’t beat vue in simplicity, though I hope some day I’ll get rid of vue too (due to points I listed, not because it’s bad). But de wae still has to be found yet.
Sounds like you aren't looking for a co-founder as much as you are looking for an employee. Guessing you don't have money to pay them though.

If it is exploratory, you should write code that you both own. Build something that isn't the core business, or even a part of the business.
While it's easy to point out at moral level that nothing is guaranteed that if this sort of project gets big it cannot just run off with investor money to go off on Zuckerberg hijinks which has no good reason to even exist at this point -- the notion that it is "too difficult" to implement federated social networking is not going to sway me away from my advocacy of it.

The most important identity system in the world -- the one that even the biggest websites in the world want you to identify yourself with is definitely your email. The protocols underlying your email are my vision for social networking: A common format that accurately sends a message to feature-complete implementations. There's really not any reason we can't have your federated social media be your email replacement barring that the W3C standard doesn't call for any sort of secure mailbox (Mastodon doesn't have REAL "private messages") but it's still a damn good solution to the problem of trying to work in the social media space: you need users. What if the users are already there?

Perhaps as the APub standard and implementations grow we can see them become standardized to the sort of SSO that we are used to when we "connect with Facebook/Twitter" but another closed-loop timeline-based for-profit social media won't ever have my attention because there's not a market.

Unless it's Vine.

https://stackshare.io/ is decent for crowd-sourced info on what the stack for a given company/product is comprised of. Not guaranteed to be accurate, so take it with a grain of salt, of course.
That’s why they are using free games with in app purchases. You can download the game for free and buy the consumables a million times on a single account. It ends up being a lot less work.
Yes, I counted counted versions/WWDC videos wrong - the macOS version popped up in 2015 along with the El Capitan/10.11 announcement.
Have you seen MobX https://mobx.js.org/index.html
> I do not deny that the game mechanics would vastly change. The strategy would shift away from "How can I micro these roaches"...

It's kind of off-topic, but you will lose horribly if you actually try to win games on micro alone. People talk a lot about micro because it's flashy, but it's really just the icing on the cake. The pros can spend all their time showing off their icing skills because they all have solid macro underneath.

When I played in WoL, you could make it into master league (top ~2% of players) by: ensuring you were never supply blocked, spending all your money, scouting your opponent, and building counters. If you were efficient, you could do everything you really needed to with an APM of ~50.
4L of fluids, currently around 3L of water + 1L of milk.

If you're awake for around 16 hours, not sure why drinking an average of 500ml of fluids every 2 hours seems excessive to you. Or why drinking 1L of fluids every 2 hours (when your agenda for the day includes doing a 15 mile hike in hot weather) is considered a lot.

If what I've described above would make you go to the bathroom every 30 mins, perhaps see a doctor.
I agree.

It is harder for people to argue against the logic for manufacturing which is why I only mentioned that.
Yeah, not disputing that. Like I wrote, they have an interesting value proposition.

The line about disrupting a huge market is still par the course, what's expected of them.
I've never been to France, but I have to completely disagree about China.

I've never asked to get my dish replaced, but the only times I have seen it happen are at very high end restaurants or chain restaurants, and that happened in both countries.

In general, I feel that I get much better customer service in China.

Perhaps it's because I'm a visible minority where some members of my group are not known as good tippers. So I am immediately assumed to be a bad tipper.

Then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, where I get bad service and thus I leave a low tip (In the past, I used to leave 20% even for bad service, just to try and defy the stereotype. But I've stopped doing it now.).
The subsidy/export explanation does make a lot more sense, since it's not exactly in a high-risk drug class. I suppose those regulations could have been misinterpreted by him to mean he needed a prescription.

(unless Austria, where this happened, really does have very strict OTC drug laws on medical grounds)
Don't forget the infamous Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death, caused by incorrect thermal management causing balls on a BGA package to lift from the board underneath as it deflected.
Yes, but nobody really believes in trickle down economics. The entire name of "trickle down economics" came from people who were against supply-side economics and named it based on their (mis)understanding of the theory. Around half of economists today seem to be on the supply-side side (notably, the Chicago School and the less mainstream Austrian School).
Off topic but: birth control is OTC in Saudi Arabia? That busts a stereotype.
Nothing lasts forever. The bigger you are, the harder you'll fall. The clock and mindset and innovation of Apple products has been alluding to a sea change for years, these things don't happen overnight.
No. Unfortunately, I can't say good things about differing-display support in Linux. For example, even if DPI is matched but one of the monitors is rotated (my old setup), freetype anti-aliasing settings are still global and can't account for rotation :( This matters less with HiDPI, though.

Fortunately, Dell U2718Q's are relatively cheap and well-worth the upgrade :)
I thought you had to explicitly tell ssh to connect on a different port than 22 with the -p option which would prevent you from connecting to a spoof sshd.

I've only used it recently to get around McDonald's (apparent) throttling on port 22, moved sshd over to 443 and can saturate the wifi.
Yeah, that's why I got the 1080p screen :) Learned my lesson with the 2nd gen - that was a piece of crap.
There are also a lot of news reports in China about the opposite happening. Where groups of people will get together to save someone.

There was even one incident where a group of people lifted a car up to save the girl that was run over. Or how a taxi driver jumps into a manhole to save a girl who fell in. Or how a group of delivery guys caught a child that was hanging on a several story perch. However, those news reports are rarely ever reported in Western media.

All we see are the bad things.
It's Lift Off for Tyk 2.7: An API Gateway Odyssey
5nm Design Progress, A Range of New Challenges
The XPS 15 i9 does do a bit of throttling, but off the boost clock (it manages to mostly stick to 4GHz in the stress test that Lee shows) while the MBP i9 apparently can't even maintain the 2.9GHz base clock.

That, along with performance that's below the previous-gen i7 but charging $300 more is the real kicker - honestly, I'm not sure how anyone at Apple would be able to justify that as not just bilking their customers out of money.

It seems like these days, the mantra is "buyer beware" if you're looking to buy a Mac.
Dammit. Wrong link.

Here is the correct one:

Genuinely curious: I don't work in the space of CAD, video editing or any other field that people tend to use to justify the MacBook Pro's ludicrous pricetag that has some shiny numbers on the tech specs sheet. Do these really do anything a sufficiently equipped laptop from anyone else can't? Plenty of options with latest gen Intel and Nvidia 10xx series are out there for less insane prices. Granted, I don't see many with that much storage space and RAM but I'd love to hear how some of you have experienced the same workload on non-Apple devices and felt you should keep buying MacBook.
I read the 2nd edition of Jeff Duntemann's book (DOS & Linux) in little more than a couple of sittings. Incredibly readable! Best introduction on the background of how CPUs work and what machine language is about.
It means the turbo button is guaranteed to be pressed on all z1d and r5 instances.
Is it really fair to say it's not "Pro" just because it doesn't deliver on the stock rated performance of the hardware it's spec'ed with? Yes, that's fair.
One thousand is nowhere near huge.
i love using flask, jinja, and jquery, but as i start to create more dynamic interfaces with this pattern both the pitfalls of it and the appeal of things like react and vue are making themselves apparent. think it may be time to sit down and have a go at vue.
They really do test different things. In this case he is testing video renders from Premiere Pro, which renders for tens of minutes at 100%. It's apparently an outrageously inefficient app as well as the Windows version of it renders the same output in a fraction of the time (which invalidates it as a test, really).

All modern chips thermally throttle. Run a heavy AVX2 workload and you'll often go below the so-called "base" frequency. Run one or two threads and it can dramatically "overclock". It is the nature of all current chips.

Eh. For the overwhelming majority of users I doubt this would ever be an issue. Compile a kernel. Apply a filter. Do some convolutions. Every normal thing will be ridiculously fast. Run a server or workstation style load and it won't be so good. That has been the case with laptops for time eternal.
Why don't companies just say what the code of conduct violation is? Just leaving it nebulous like that means that of course people will speculate and pry, and the truth always eventually comes out.

Is there some legal reason they aren't giving more details?
"The company is really just a consulting firm that deploys custom solutions for clients: this is totally fine by me, because it's really interesting and fun. But, the CEO is going to investors pitching the fact that we've built/are building some deep learning engine that can be applied to all problems."

Sounds like IBM Watson.
as of win10, but too late for me to care.
I develop on a macbook pro for 12 hours a day. Have a bajillion chrome tabs open, 2-3 ides open, sequel pro, photoshop, slack/skype, utorrent, spotify, and more....

My macbook pro 2016 i7/16G doesn't even skip a beat.

Unless you're doing 3d graphics or Machine Learning or something...I think for 99.9999999% of POWER USERS a throttled i9 with 32 gigs of RAM is plenty for the year 2018.

This throttle issue in my opinion is such a minor quibble it feels like demonization of Mac.

You can focus on the very very very few negatives of Macbooks but in my opinion at the end of the day it's an incredible machine.
I wanted to buy the hardcover/paperback version of the "The Dream Machine" but it's all out of print everywhere. And I read on the Bloomberg article[0] about Patrick's buying the rights for the book. So I thought it would be really great if he somehow sells/republishes it. Now it's happening and I can't be happier.

On the other hand, I also ended up buying the kindle version and I can't say enough of how great the book is!

In the video he shows the i9 rendering slower than the i7. When he runs the render on the i9 in a freezer then it runs faster.
Elon Musk is not Tony Stark, nor is he Hari Seldon, nor is he Professor Moriarty. He's an actual person: a talented engineer and businessman, a utopian sci-fi nerd who genuinely wants to bring the world closer to being a sci-fi utopia, a shitty person to be in a working or romantic relationship with, someone who expects unrealistic things from himself and others, a megalomaniac with a persecution complex, and an indomitable visionary who actually does great things and is legitimately persecuted, though not as often or as unfairly as he thinks.

Can't we just let all those things be true? Are our minds so small and our comprehension so feeble that we have to take this whole person and turn him into a cartoonish hero or villain? I mean, if he can do it, can't you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9GKeYb_vkQ

As to this particular thing, it seems relatively simple to me: Elon genuinely wanted to help. He and the other engineers were undoubtedly motivated by ego - not the "we're going to save the day and everyone will love us" kind but the "we are good engineers and we can find a good solution" kind. This is why Elon was not upset when his solution wasn't used, because it was still a good solution, and this is why he was so upset when people trashed his solution as "never going to work" without evidence. I find that grievance understandable; by all accounts he went to a lot of effort to ensure his solution was good, and I would bet that when he inevitably tries it to soothe his bruised engineer ego, it will, in fact, work.

But that will not help because he called someone a pedophile on Twitter for insulting him, which is unbelievably moronic, puerile and cruel. Apologists like this Quora commenter can excuse it as "provoked but disproportionate", and "coming from somewhere", but if you're honest about it you have to admit there's no excuse. You don't call people rapists for saying mean things about your project if you want to hold any claim to being a decent person.

That said, I really like the work he's doing and I hope he succeeds. I also hope that he can pull out of what appears to be a deteriorating spiral of erratic lashing out. Dude's under the kind of pressure that snaps people in half, and has been for half a decade. Maybe that's all he knows. Maybe it's the only way he can succeed. If so, I pity him and I'm humbled by the value that his suffering creates. But also, fuck you, Elon. The last thing we need is more powerful small-man narcissists shitting all over what's left of public discourse.

I dunno. It's complicated.

OSX really. Loss of productivity from the little stuff in windows just isn’t manageable for me. OS X has problems, but I’m used to it and familiar with it and it works as expected.
It's interesting but how does that square with the desire to keep China and others from getting their hands on our designs when the bulk of our manufacturing is done overseas?
A big part of why I got the T480 instead of the T480s was to avoid the thermals issue. Seems okay so far, but who knows how long (I've only had it a couple days) that'll go.
From their readme, USD was considered but OBJ was chosen "for expediency."
In the summer I have to unplug one of my external monitors because my (maxed out) 2014 Macbook Pro gets too hot.

I'm going to try using my linux desktop when it happens next, that at least has adequate cooling.
This is crazy. They have a metal body to use as a heat sink. Just put shielding on the parts that touch human skin and let the rest go toasty.
That's still a valid way of doing development, but it doesn't really work for a SPA. You may not want a SPA, but if you do, you pretty much need something like Angular/React/Vue.
I'm a cofounder of a start-up working on near-term applications of quantum computing in biology, specifically on the protein structure side of things (https://www.proteinqure.com). There are many self-contained subproblems in this space which are not limited by data because models are accurate enough to inform experiments, but there's probably not a scientist in the world who would say we have a sufficient understanding of biology to make predictive models with generality.
My favorite is the latest Air (years old now) which doesn’t even have a retina screen yet, a perk in my book.

I could watch Netflix on my bare stomach with my Air. Latest Pro is quickly too hot to handle. Of course not the only issue but the computer never bounced back from that first impression.

The dedicated gfx card doesn’t even seem to run games like Civ 5 better than my Air which I’m guessing is due to all the extra screen pixels.
To be fair, the reason so many people can't afford a $400 emergency is because most people don't save anything in the bank. And this is not exclusive to working class folks. A lot of people do a terrible job budgeting/saving/investing because they weren't taught to do so. $20 in the bank every month would do plenty to give you a little bit of financial leeway.
Would you recommend this to serve a C++ webservice, or should we stick with boost::asio?
That’s pretty much all startups, sorry to tell you.
This is nice, but some of these titles are listed as "Notify me when available" when I've already read them which seems a bit odd. Did they buy the rights to exclusively publish "Dream Machine"? Looks like it is still available in a number of other places.
It's like when a municipality spends some piddling sum on public art, you always get this chorus of idiots asking "what are they doing blowing taxpayer money on art when there's potholes to fill?"
As mentioned below, primality test was something primarily done probabilistically (BPP) until a deterministic algorithm (P) was recently found.

The question now is, if we can find a deterministic, polynomial time algorithm for that, why can’t we find the same for all BPP?
I always thought it would be better if the player got to choose who they played with. Let me tag other players, and feed that into a ratings engine. Match me up with players who tag like me, and not with players that people who tag like me tag as arseholes, and untagged players. Lets put the social media perception filter to good use. Could be even better on MMORPGs, where you can populate worlds with players who will have fun with each other and speak the same language and do the RPG part in similar ways.

I call bullshit on this assertion. Plenty of companies? You mean like 3 ?

also, why does it have to be vision only and no maps? the goal is not some pissing contest of who has the cleverest algo, the goal is a working product. Of course, it's going to include maps.
Disengagement rates are self-reported, and the guidelines are loose. There isn't a whole lot to infer from them.
While his kids could speak Mandarin and went to local schools, I have a feeling he was mainly in the expat bubble so had a very skewed perspective of China and the people.

Also, it seems like people will give a pass to these types of generalizations if it's about Asians or Chinese people. To tell if something is "racist," I like to apply the Black/Jewish-Litmus Test.

Basically replace the word Chinese with Black or Jewish and see if you find it racist. If you do, then it is when you write about Chinese people.

e.g. There is a complete and utter lack of respect for the individual or person in Israel... There was no exogenously held right or wrong, only whether you made money.

There is a complete and utter lack of respect for the individual or person in Nigeria...Lying is utterly common, but telling the truth revolutionary. There was no value system.
