I once read the New York Times from 1917 to 1922 on microfilm, guided somewhat by an index. Every article was about how the government of "Mr. Lenine and Mr. Trotzky" was on the verge of collapse. It gave a very false picture - well, the Times still gives a false picture of Russia today.

If you have access to microfilm, instructive is an article from June 23, 1918 titled "Lenine ready to resign". Of course this was another false story - although he was shot two months later which caused an illness in him that caused him to slowly withdraw until his death five years after.

But there are many stories of this type. Ultimately, however, dominant communist power in Russia ended because Russian communists themselves decided to hold Multi-Party elections (to be even more tangential - some think Lenin would have had a coalition government of Bolsheviks and left socialist revolutionaries if he had not been shot and retired to Gorki).
Please, don’t spread misinformation. macOS has not supported latest OpenGL for quite some years. Linux is not supported either, by the way.

On top of that, if I buy a “Pro” machine, I want everything available and as much choices as possible; and I want them on OS X, not on Windows.

As for Metal, it is just Apple leveraging iOS marketshare. Nothing more, nothing less. It is a nice API, but one that nobody asked for.

Finally, speaking of engines, most productivity software does not use them, so your point is moot.

The reality is that the software aspect of the Mac ecosystem is a mess since Jobs died; and also the hardware is a mess for the last couple of years. Even XCode and related tools are nowadays not top-notch compared to Linux-based ones and modern Visual Studio.
Yes, but one advantage of blocking ads is not having to get the content. On a slow uplink, such as Tor, that's a major issue.
Having a kindle makes this quite convenient and I've taken to doing this as well. I find the sample size to be quite big enough to figure out if I'll end up liking it or not :)
Well, I did say they were smaller projects :)

But you're of course right that I exaggerated a bit for effect. I do that sometimes.

My point still stands if you slice a few orders of magnitude off my hyperbole.
No, it means that making statements about the certainty of this in either direction is foolish and unsupported by evidence.

One option that may help is to use LinkedIn to find the key decision makers, figure out their email address (almost all companies have a fixed naming convention) and then put them in a Facebook Custom Audience group. Then just keep targeting them so at least they are aware of who you are and what you're doing.

The key people to target are lower level engineers, program managers as well as the VPs in charge of their respective cloud platforms.

- You cannot get the native address of arrays in order to pass them to native code.

- Arrays are subject to being moved by the GC, so even if you could get the address they could move.

- Arrays are limited to around 16 GB, and that's if you're packing data into longs.

- Accessing an array involves a bounds check, which may float out of a loop, but may well not.

- Arrays cannot be allocated with memory that is anything except mapped private.

I use Unsafe to put memory into a location where I can get a stable native address in order to make native calls using it. Using an array would not allow that.
funny how cocky these articles are. Perfect material for posts like {title} (2018) in a few years
Those companies are international - where is far less important than who. The Obama admin's decision to (effectively) pardon Wall Street (for crashing - and nearly crushing - the __world__ economy) looks even worse. Yeah. I get it. No one likes to hear that their liberal hero BHO screwed them over, in favor of WS, The City, etc.

The point being these financial companies get to operate without fear; without penalty. Which was the nature of the comment that comment was added to.
> Sure there's niches like settlement systems and [...] but not something that a member of the public is going to use on a daily basis ...

I'd argue that settlement systems aren't a niche system and is something most of us use on a daily basis -- if not more frequently. Unless you're using cash for everything, every transaction you make goes through a settlement process, sometimes multiple times.

People often talk about how inefficient blockchain is, but they rarely have a grasp on how horribly inefficient our current settlement systems are. They are slow, expensive, inefficient, and complex.

I have doubts if it'll be widely used outside of the financial space, and I recognize that may be the context in which you were using the adjective "niche", but I do think it has the potential to be transformative within that space, and I think that space is potentially bigger than many of us realize.
I would try another country. There are many countries where medical assistance is much more affordable than in the US (while the quality is still very reasonable) and where you can easily buy comprehensive medical insurance that would cover a lot (and without any co-funding) without being employed. If you actually have almost no money so you can't even afford an airline ticket - then I don't know how to help you (I would buy you a ticket if I weren't broke too).
Dividing in half 10 times comes pretty close (976562), but kinda defeats the point of getting a spontaneous answer as the what they feel it would be. On a 1 meter scale the 1 million mark would be just 1mm along. On a piece of paper, it's virtually indistinguishable from the starting point.

Maybe part of the issue is an over-emphasis on "fidelity". People have always played around - or to be frank, many women have been assaulted and had to keep it quiet - maybe the best outcome would be more open communication and understanding between couples rather than even more prescriptive social norms about how relationships should work.

I think you've got it backwards. Pay was good and benefits were shit. Increasing benefits and stagnant wages plagues public employees these days. Take the Houston Fire Department for example.
I agree. that's why i think you should not settle for suboptimal people.

The packages served to the vendor could be legit, but packages served to everyone else is compromised. The vendor would never know there was a problem.
Interested in seeing how it works out for you, good luck! Write a blog post when done.

I think there is a lot of potential in this space for a new platform. I think it’s an actual good potential use of social scoring to encourage a solid community.

I'd still have it on for the bad players. There'd likely be no need to whitelist if you just want to help those playing nice because tracking blockers don't block ads, they block third-party trackers. Ads hosted natively would be indistinguishable from other native content. I wouldn't even want an ad blocker that tried to block that, it would eat up too much processor trying to use machine learning to figure out what to block, and still get it wrong half the time. I've been to a couple sites that use traditional advertising and, as far as I can tell, uBlock Origin doesn't do anything to try and stop it.
That's a fantastic misinterpretation of what I said.

Putting things in your mouth is necessary for survival. Unfortunately, there are some things you can put in your mouth that will kill you.

Consuming information is necessary for survival. Unfortunately, there is some information that, when consumed, can be very, very bad for you.

I say nothing about disagreement, nor about it being brain damage, and where did you even get totalitarianism from in the first place? There are people that disagree with me in perfectly reasonable fashion for perfectly reasonable reasons. Their opinions are important and necessary. There are also people who have been subjected to information that removes their agency just as surely as a pointed gun would.

I do not think and did not think that I could possibly have been interpreted as thinking that this is a form of what is colloquially known as "brain damage". There is a rhetorical device known as an "analogy" which I employed to illustrate a comparable scenario that I hoped would help my audience examine the situation from a new angle and come to a clearer understanding.

However, since you brought it up, and as an extreme case with which to question assumptions, I would like to point out that there are a number of psychological conditions, such as PTSD, which can be induced via "gaslighting", also known as carefully chosen words, and that are beginning to be recognized as involving systematic neurological changes which might be classified as "brain damage". Or, to take another example from the opposite end of the spectrum, everyone that whines about cell phones and televisions causing attention disorders is very clearly claiming that purely the presentation of information can induce brain damage.

However, it is equally obvious that not all information is dangerous, in the same way that not all things you can put in your mouth will kill you if swallowed.

Also, I really do wonder where you got the idea that I was advocating some kind of totalitarian lockdown on all information transmission. We can punish attacks that use targeted advertisements to cause agency-denying state-of-mind changes without damaging anything else, in exactly the same way that we can punish food manufacturers that violate FDA regulations without shutting down the restaurant industry, or how we can have and enforce fire and earthquake codes without banning architecture or sculpture.
doesn't seem that you have done a lot of research on the subject really.
That's without question a big part of the story. In 30 years they've gone from having a higher GDP per capita than the US, to being in a position where they have to increase it by ~57% to catch up. It's roughly where it was in 1993 in USD terms, before adjusting for inflation.

The US is well known for having a high output economy. It took the US until 2005 to catch up to where Japan's GDP was at in 1995 per capita (~$43,000). Or to lend another perspective, their GDP per capita in 1995 was about 40% higher than Germany, and now it's below Germany.

It would probably be fair to say they've seen a real loss of at least 1/3 of their standard of living in a quarter century. It was artificially inflated from the asset bubbles they had in the late 1980s and early 1990s, however that's still a painful drop and a long stretch of time to stagnate.

They went through truly massive public works spending that entirely failed to spark big economic productivity gains or greater output. A savings rate that dropped to nearly zero. A public debt so high it's 2x that of the US as a percentage of GDP. Debasing the Yen became their only means to try to escape the towering debt, once the population could no longer afford to lend the government any more money (as the savings rate plunged). With the Yen debasement went their extraordinary standard of living. The challenging part, is that they're nowhere near done needing to debase the Yen, they still can't afford their debt at all.

As part of their magic central bank economy solution, the BOJ has even taken to juicing the stock market directly by slowly nationalizing it (buying up nearly 4% of the market directly).

I haven't experienced this personally either. What I have noticed is the following:

- Signaling in tech is a real thing. I believe this stems from being (understandably) picky about our peers, combined with a fundamental difficulty of evaluating them. The problem is complex enough that our strong tendency is to fall back on stereotyping and other heuristics.

- Many programmers (myself included) have had encounters with "Web developers" whose primary interaction with JS is copying and pasting. Of course, it's hard to say what percentage of "Web developers" fall into this category -- certainly it's just a small proportion of the whole -- but enough of this type exist that "Web developer" is not always a positive signal -- indeed, it can be negative for some people.

- The above issue appears to be self-reinforcing, because the more the tech culture becomes aware of the problem, the more the stigma grows for existing Web developers that have not changed their title. Posts like the OP's are valuable because they work to correct our cultural narrative.

I'd expect the most likely people to experience this are "Web developers" who haven't yet accrued enough other signals of their competency (like experience, charisma, or similarity with their peers). e.g. a soft-spoken female Web developer without a lot of experience sounds like an archetype where this could be an issue.

Of course, it's a game of chance. But the odds are incredibly different for each person.
For the last 5 years, yes. I accumulate faster than reading. At other times in life I read a book before accumulating another one.
> Estimates about the arrival date for the dingo range from 4000 to 18,000 years ago. But Sue and her colleagues, in light of their findings, are suggesting that the arrival of the dingo occurred much later than commonly reported, writing that 3250 years is “currently the oldest reliable date for the dingo in Australia”.

These "oldest" bones are actually younger than previous estimates (indeed, much younger than some estimates) for the dingo's arrival in Australia.

> Climate change in Australia between three and five thousand years ago has been posited as the primary reason for the extinction of tigers [thylacines] and [Tasmanian] devils from the mainland, but if this new date for the arrival of the dingo is accurate, the dawn of the dingo and the extinction of tigers and devils almost coincide.

Interesting.
Glad you guys are launching! I tried workona for a week, but couldn't justify switching away from firefox. It seems though, you added a lot of features, maybe it's time to try again..
I would hope not; any reasonable implementation would try to keep as much data on-board or on-chip as possible.
Almost nothing in nature matches that statement.

The "Bell Curve" for females of a species generally has a significantly narrower standard deviation for practically any genetically driven characteristic.

The problem is that none of this applies to an individual.
However, hardware context switching is no longer supported in 64-bit mode and the format of the TSS changed completely.

Quite unfortunate, especially with the large state sizes of processors now with all their vector registers and such; it would've been great to simply ask the hardware how much it needs, allocate a TSS of the appropriate size, and it would automatically manage the state save/restore as necessary.

Fun fact: in the days of the 286, which could not switch out of protected mode without a reset, the fastest way was to triple-fault:

I'm fascinated by the Cambridge Face Memory Test (direct link: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/psychology/psychologyexperiments/experi... ). I got 99%, which seems remarkably and unrealistically high even though people say I have a good memory for faces. Of course, I can't just go take the test again, because now I know what the faces look like.

I've had moments like what the other super-recognizer officers did, though. Before I got married and I was on a dating site I shall not name, I immediately recognized one of the secretaries on there from the C-suite, someone I interacted with a couple times but only that. I quickly broke the match, hopefully before she noticed, since that might have been a little weird.

More often I know faces but not names, which makes things awfully awkward at professional meetings. "Hey, ... guy!"

My first personally bought computer was a 386 with said turbo button. Other crucial performance features were the sram cache and the ability to overclock the isa bus from the standard 8mhz up to 11.

This was particularly important for running OS/2 1.3 with the svga vesa (non-accelerated) driver that was produced by an intern at IBM. That software made many lives including mine better on a daily basis.

A weird thing was how at 11MHz I could audibly hear large screen refreshes. Never quite understood where that sound was from.

So now you blame Obama for not punishing people for a “Brittish scandal”? Your rant is s non sequiter.
That is indeed the case, you can fully legally do anything you wish with your assets in death, including giving it to one child (or pet). Granted, it's also not unusual for lawsuits to fly if you leave everything to one child rather than spreading it out. That happens from time to time with the super wealthy in cases of feuding.

In the US it became custom to more or less equally distribute assets in death to all of the children, rather than concentrating it to one controlling heir. That's still the overwhelmingly common custom to this day.

Both, topic depending.

I can’t edit my original comment now but some things are weird.

For example: I have 4 books about Gordon Ramsay. I have maybe 80 Chinese books. I have 60-70 c++ books. Maybe 40 books on game design. Many books about Apple and related dating back from the early 90’s. I have a set of weird books that are dated 1810. The English is old and hard to understand but one of them discusses Puritan religion and beliefs. So many topics...
And what about defecating? And where?
true. it's not like Governments falsify data, forge evidence and all that. It's crazy to think the world needs zero trust.
The French government claims that fatherhood is determined by society, and not biology. That is a very unscientific law.

> Web dev is the hardest and most intimidating dev work I've ever done, by a country mile.

I think Web Dev and App Dev get such a bad rap because the half-life of the knowledge there is so short that length of experience isn't the signal that it is in other areas (and sometimes it can be an anti-signal).

If ownership of a house is decided by contracts, written by lawyers, then adding a blockchain will only add issues, since it can get out of sync with reality. And if the blockchain is the source of truth, it means that stealing your house-token will result in you losing your house.

Do you use an intel processor vulnerable to Meltdown/Spectre, or with a vulnerable IME? Do the people you know and love know and understand about these? What if you lose your token? You can't sell your house anymore? Custody of crypto-currencies is a giant headache. It feels like moving away from bank accounts and payment cards and going back to gold coins and bearer bonds. Great for people in the business of selling vaults, sucks for everyone else.
I'm super confused...a lot of people say that this battery works only between 10-40C but I remember a couple weeks ago and there was a Stanford article on how they made a mebrane operate at room and high (200C). Is the 10-40C a limit on Vanadium or the membrane used?! If it is the membrane, does that mean the article is click bait?!
>The biggest problem is that blockchains are inherently not scalable.

Blockchains can be made extremely scalable. You can break the problem into transaction volume (how many transactions can be processed on average per sec) and transaction velocity (how fast a particular transaction can be approved).

Transaction volume scalability results almost entirely from checking that the rules of the system have been followed i.e. that each block in the chain is valid. We now have very fast systems for recursively proving the validity of blockchains. For instance coda [0] requires very little space or computation (constant in the number of transactions) for a party to be convinced the blockchain is valid. Under such a system you could increase transaction volume by orders of magnitude.

Layer two protocols, such as the lightning network [1], offer near instant transaction velocity.

We can solve the scalability problems of blockchain. The thing that keeps me up at night is not scalability, it is user adoption beyond the use cases which Bitcoin already successfully fulfills.

Maybe it's the curmudgeon in me, but while I salute the ingenuity in this UI/UX idea, I think we need a new kind of browser engine at least as much as a new kind of browser interface, perhaps more.

"there are signs that the bubble is bursting already"

The bubble is barely even starting. There might even be another bubble and crash before we get to the real one. These are just practice bubbles.
I envision a transparent semi-crystalline substance that can be written to by a laser or two. With the volume of a sugar cube, perhaps, with the longevity of amber.

Those who've seen the 60s George Pal version of "Time Machine" will remember The Traveller spinning a disk on a flat surface to activate a voiced playback. Still visionary.
