Your dreams might have come true, then, with the Dasung Paperlike[1], a 13-inch e-ink monitor. The first generation connected to the PC via USB and special display drivers, but the current generation uses HDMI like a normal monitor.

My girlfriend is quite happy with her second-generation Paperlike Pro. There is apparently now a third generation[2] with higher resolution.

There are some disadvantages (of e-ink in general). It's not fast – the mouse cursor feels laggy, but typing is OK. You might have to tweak various appearance settings to make things look better in black and white – they have software to help with this for Windows, but not for Mac. Lastly, it's not particularly cheap.

I found the excuse in the statement unplausible, these were not responses to any hostile tweets, at best they were racist comments made for shits and giggles rather than being her actual views.

Free speech does not also guarantee a platform. It doesn't obligate anyone to promote your speech. Fans of his podcasts can get them elsewhere.
What about Apple's free speech? They're the publisher. Are they supposed to put their logo on content that they don't approve? That's not how a free market works.
I agree with you, but Apple also has the right to not be a muppet with Alex’s hand up its ass controlling the mouth. Just like anyone this offends can not purchase Apple product. I think this ultimately hurts Apple though, and is more of a political statement from pinkos. Mature businesses make capital decisions at 51/49 all day.
Apple‘s podcast app is not the free market. Its a part of it. And Apple is just acting as a participant of that market by defining whats good and whats bad for their product. And neither is that removal prohibiting free speech, because these crazies can distribute their nonsense by any other means.
I'm glad you mentioned procrastination. That's a key characteristic of task oriented people. The biggest benefit I got from observing goal oriented vs. task oriented people was to stop procrastinating (in the name of efficiency) and to just get things done. Things like the dishes. And once I understood there's not going to be a breakthrough in efficiency in picking up socks around the house, I also started moving faster at those things so I could get back to the fun stuff like thinking about how to make stuff efficient. Stuff that really can be made more efficient.

Process Mining [1]. When I programmed a rather complex logistics simulator at work I told my coworkers 'whoever comes up with a way of instantiating a simulator from data will be praised forever'. Turned out process discovery is a thing (well, one of _the_ things in PM). And there's so much cool stuff to do and being done. I'm now on the last stretch of my doctorate researching the mining of typical plans in non-competitive environments.

It's not hard, but many in the space are working on the wrong things. We need a consensus mechanism with the integration capability of tendermint, with honey badger bft level performance. (eg: https://github.com/poanetwork/hbbft) That would be enough to build a fully distributed facebook clone and much more. It will happen, but on the timing of the engineers who know what to do to achieve it.
Gamers aren’t using PS/2 keyboards it’s less about USB and more about the keyboard itself there are plenty of tests of keyboards and PS/2 isn’t anywhere near 1ms true latency, and often the polling rate even doesn’t matter as much.

The biggest latency is the time it takes for the keyboards own SOC to recognize the press with mechanical keyboards there can also be additional latency for things like debouncing depending on the switch in question.

Overall the best keyboard you can use today is one with a low latency controller and 1000hz polling rate it will be about 2-3 times “faster” than a PS/2 keyboard.
All the people here supporting Apple's decision with an argument "it's a private company, their rules" are the same people moaning when Apple, Google, Facebook or others do the same thing that affects them.
Apple didn’t “remove” the content. Apple never hosted it. The podcast directory is no different than Google, it crawls RSS feeds that are hosted on other servers and caches the results. You can still add the podcast to the Apple podcast app if you know the URL.
A summer rescue plan for an overworked event manager
Also reminds me of Sandra Felton's book The Messies Manual: The Procrastinator's Guide to Good Housekeeping which had a huge impact on my approach to most things in life requiring organization. I'll one-up the idea of an LRU cache: you can own several pairs of scissors. And the right place for them can be the workshop, the sewing room, the art studio room, the kitchen, and your home office. That one tip has saved me loads of time.
I find this argument increasingly tiresome. There has never been a time in history in which speech did not in some way depend on private support. Not so long ago that private support came from the owners of printing presses. It came from the landlords that allowed speakers on their property, and rented to unpopular people. It came from the telephone companies that served everyone even if they were saying "hateful" things down the phone.

What we're seeing here seems like a relatively new phenomenon, of private companies that are taking it on themselves to systematically erase entire schools of thought from the modern communications platforms, at least as far as they can. And yes for any given instance you can say, well, you can host your content elsewhere. And that works right up until Google - for example - steals your domain name on moralistic grounds, or your last remaining ISP or hosting provider gets attacked or comes under pressure from activists and so on. Because the sort of people who are doing this don't simply want Alex Jones off iTunes. They want him gone completely, from everywhere, and they will not rest until that happens.

Unfortunately Silicon Valley has long since lost any right to claim neutrality on political topics. That probably makes regulation inevitable. How long will conservatives sit back and watch as tech firms systematically attempt to erase their world view from the political conversation? How long will the wider population tolerate Twitter shadowbanning members of the government whilst doing nothing to an NYT journalist who (as noted above) says repeatedly she wants to kill all men, that she hates whites etc? This sort of extreme side-taking seems both new and very short-sighted. It cannot end well.
It depends. But it's most likely also legal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship
I don't think so. Standardisation is what makes decentralisation possible. The only one thing that the likes of Facebook really do well compared to decentralised is spam detection.

And by the way - spam is a problem that those platforms don't solve themselves either as they use their communities to filter that out. So it's only a matter of time before those communities realise they might as well work outside those platforms.

I remember a friend editing tracks for a video. He was annoyed that the tool he was using couldn't align the drum track close enough, difference was plus minus 10ms or some such. I think the thing is you can't discern 10ms absolute but you can easily hear a 10ms differential.

True, but with Spotify, now Apple and in the future perhaps other major players, what if all members of the oligopoly deny someone a service?

USB to PS/2 adapters don’t work, they only work if they aren’t an adapters but a passthrough which means the keyboard has to natively support PS/2.

The problem with PS/2 is that most motherboards today don’t have it anymore so you can’t use passthrough adapters.
What that says is that most of the content distribution networks which existed outside centralised systems required a good amount of mental workload for the operator. Back then we did not have the same culture of automated DevOps and so they perished.

As long as they don't prevent iTunes from importing the Infowars podcast feed, I don't see it as a major problem.

Apple isn't required to help you promote your content if they don't want to, but they are also not allowed to block your access to legal content, regardless of what they may think of it.
I guess it sure seems like there are different usage patterns and some people are really experiencing this still being an issue? I can see how some people might need to be using it really in direct sunlight where reflection can't be tweaked away by rotating the phone just a couple of degrees (which I think I do without even thinking about it).

So you're right, the current screen tech has not completely solved sunlight problem.
I think a major part of the calculation for Apple here is that there are also people who will weigh Apples willingness (or not, as in this case) to host this type of content in their decision to buy Apple products or not. Not the true fanboys of course, but interesting economic decisions are always made at the margins. As long as more people shift towards Apple than people shift away because of this, it's a win for them.
Writing a Modern Metal App from Scratch: Part 2
Actually, the web is decentralized. Many people mess around with the terms here. Just today I wrote a short post defining decentralized, distributed and federated in another thread [1].

While I am completely pro decentralization (I run my own Nextcloud, XMPP and E-Mail server), I am not very fond of all those 'distributed' ideas. Many of them rely on encryption which might be safe to use today, but encryption has this anoying property becoming unsafe in the future. So puting my data encrypted to some distributed network doesn't feel right for me.

The problem with the tech giants is that their products are so easy to start with that many consumers just use them because they don't see real alternatives. And quite frankly, often there are no equivalent alternatives, as the tech giants throw so much money at their products that very few other products have the same ease of use.

I am not sure about a solution to this dilemma, but I hope that some day we will have more high quality, easy to use, federated services.

I get their point, but just as it might be "foolish" to assume that software which was audited is no longer secure just because the developers have stopped working on it, it is also "foolish" to use cryptographic software that is not being worked on actively by experts. And since TrueCrypt is proprietary, people should not be using it anyway (not because you cannot read or modify the source code but because the license itself is "full of traps" according to the fedora-legal team[1])-- Linux's dm-crypt can decrypt TrueCrypt volumes (though it's read-only from memory) if you need legacy support.

What is the definition of a real analytical database?
Interesting. I've also considered myself on the slow end of the thinking-speed spectrum, and have the other memory traits too: not so good with precision/particulars (instead I depend on being able to go back to sources as necessary), and I basically can't memorize anything. I don't know even half the lyrics to a single song.

My personal take is that it's largely a matter of intellectual values. I think that if I considered memorization to be important when I was younger, I would have gotten better at it, for instance. Instead my values tend to be around understanding the reason something is one way or another. I remember a friend being very surprised when I gave a satisfactory definition of 'common law' (because I tend not to know 'random' things like that)—but the only reason I remembered it clearly is because I understood the role it served. That tends to be the only thing that makes things stick for me.

I think the slowness may in part be due to that too. There are a lot of things that folks will have remembered whole, but I just know how to reason my way back to the result from a smaller set of more fundamental things I've learned.

Apple might not be the right platform if you like to make decisions yourself and they ban a lot of other stuff too. Their right. Maybe some higher ups were not content with the effect of the man-pills.

GENSES: Inspiration from Struggle Stories – Q&A with Successful People
I think most interesting computer science fields are actually application of CS in other domains.

Science changed a lot in the last decades, moving from a genius in a room looking at the data and coming up with grand theory to have vast amounts of data that no single human can make sense of. The work of the computer scientist is to quickly understand problems from various fields then solve it using tailor-made algorithm that leverage the prior knowledge, the data structure.

One of such interesting fields (which I'm working on), is computational biology. We're working on leveraging sparse experimental data for protein structure prediction. To do that, we end up using algorithms and ideas from different various CS fields, from machine learning, to robotics, to distributed systems. Other people are working on exciting fields like computation protein design, studying drug protein interaction in silico..
Productivity App that makes you do stuff
Since you mentioned movements in free software, "open core" has been emerging in the last 4 years as a viable way to do business while allowing other individuals and companies to build onto your core platform while still being able to monetize your work. For example, if you launch a startup specializing in building foo, you can maintain a library called libfoo and sell a larger foo application or foo plugins or foo services using the open-source library you created.

Not sure if MySQL is the same but Postgres won't use an index if the statistics suggest doing so will be slower than a full table scan - would expect MySQL to be similar.

With 5bn+ rows and a memory constraint, the type of index begins to make a difference - e.g. in Postgres I would have tried using a bloom index.

1ms latency, you say? With a speed of sound of 340m/s, this corresponds to distance between loudspeaker and ear of 0.34m. So, anything except headphones will add more than 1ms of latency.

I get that the rhythmic nature of music enables precision at the scale of a few ms because musicians can anticipate these moments in time (reaction time does not apply). But I'm baffled by claims of sensitivity to delays less than about 10ms because these are near or even over the limits of acoustics. For example, when you do the math, you'll see that it is basically impossible for a large enough orchestra to play perfectly in sync. But a good orchestra can give the impression of a precise performance despite that. This can only mean that the human hearing is less precise than what people claim.
