I'm pretty much a microsoft fanboy but - We had a batch of surface devices at the office and they all had massive battery issues. Like that scary thing where it starts to expand and bend the metal.

I think we had to mail it back to the manufacturer in a specially designed hard-case.

With quality like that - I'm not sure they're being undermined that badly yet.

I think MS are doing other great stuff but surface laptop/tablets are probably not it.
My suggestion is to tone down the first red and blue backgrounds.
16 House 3D Printers Available in 2018

A huge amount of the info on solar PV power on the net is absolute garbage. (I spent 5 years working on the most advanced solar performance optimization and monitoring system developed to date.) I haven't read all of this article, but so far, it looks dead on (you have no idea how rare that is!) Solar is not the panacea many people wish it was, simply due to the way God built the universe - and there's not a thing we can do about that. (And yes, the panels are now only a small part of the cost of a solar system, especially one capable of operating off-grid...)
Really cool article!

Ironically, the portfolio site appears to have a console error. Whenever the background is clicked on (to create a shape), it logs "> p5.js says: color() was expecting Number for parameter #0 (zero-based index), received p5.Color instead."
just to nitpick, Samsung's cash pile as of June 2018 is $83B, but once you combine all forms of assets (ie, inventories, PP&E, etc) it comes out to about $300B. Apple doesn't have large PP&E (their datacenters aren't worth much) and other forms of assets. Samsung made $50B in profit last year, but it also has much greater R&D and CapEx than Apple.
Ahh the Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra. What an awful name it had. An mp3 player one could slap a larger 2.5" HDD into, and with a replaceable battery. Mine still sits on my desk, a monument to a forgone era. The case front and back are aluminum and removable, which made it easy to spray-paint :)

For two? Not at all - I've been on a couple of $9k-$10k business trips that I booked following company policy (advance notice, take advantage of best available pricing, etc...). And this is just business class for a couple, as well. I'm not even thinking about flying first class in emirates, or, heaven forbid, having to fly with children. I booked my mother using points from Canada to Singapore, in business, and the flight (if I had paid with cash) would have been $8300 - and that was after looking 3-4 days in either direction for best pricing.
Sorry, was not aware of Breitbart's reputation. It was one of the top results on a Google search, and the article had a tone of disdain that I appreciated. I was put off by the repeated use of the term "Eurocrat" though - funny the first time, tedious by the end.

How much is my desk worth on the market? However much somebody is willing to pay for it.

As the article states, Apple's "value" as a company comes from, in part, the fact that it's a good investment. Some may argue that "the fundamentals" of the balance sheets and whatnot doesn't justify a $1T valuation, but they would be missing the intangible parts of the business which cause it to be worth exactly that much.
Market cap is based on a half-dozen factors, but primarily a factor of

- assets (e.g., cash on hand and other things that can be converted to cash),

-Operating Income, and

- growth -- meaning how quickly the annual operating income can grow (my guess is Samsung's growth is lower than Apple's)
Really dig this idea. Love the time box aspect. Is that an editable feature (duration)?

>if cat is slower than redirection from a file - then I'd say something is amiss

With `cat`, a new process must be created. But with shell redirection, no new process is necessarily created, so that is going to be faster.
I've been studying Rust on and off in the past 3 months. There are a few things that I find annoying, they are somehow discussed in the issue tracker, but it's not clear to me what the priorities are to land them:

* Partial borrow. I can't borrow a field of a structure and then reference another field. I can't cite how many times in a few weeks I've been forced to rethink and split my structures just to work around this, making my code harder to read and write for no good reason than working around this limit of the borrow checker.

* The Rc/RefCell/Box dance is very verbose, when you just want to share a reference to some long-living object within other long-living objects. Worse than verbose, it also causes a runtime overhead because of the RefCell.

* No simple way to declare non-const global objects, like something as easy as a global HashMap of constants strings to constant integers. I'm a little spoiled from Go's excellent support of init functions (both compiler-generated and manually written), but this is something I really miss in Rust. lazy_static! is a workaround which is harder to use and forces the code to be thread-safe even if no threading support is necessary (that is, I can't use my non-thread-safe classes in a lazy_static).

* In generic code, there is no simple way to represent integer types. You need to use the "num" trait which breaks the "as" operator causing big pain and less readable code (as it's normal to covert between integer types).

* No integer generic parameters. We have to use the "typenum" crate which ends up causing less readable code and generates C++-like error messages.

* PhantomData is awkward, it absolutely sounds like something the compiler should handle, not the programmer.

* "Wrapping<u32> + 1" doesn't compile, but is there a good reason why it does not? I really wish Rust added wuNN/wiNN native wrapping types, or evolved in a way that I can write the same code with "u32" and "Wrapping<u32>" (another example: "as" doesn't work). Right now, it seems like the solution is half-baked: it tries to use the generic to avoid adding a native type, but the code that users must write is more bloated compared to native types.

The comparison is still valid even if the units don't quite match. For example, if you flip the comparison you get "The US's total gross domestic product for 2018 is equal to 20 times the Apple's total market cap" which is a pretty reasonable statement. If you want to talk about Apple's net income per year, that is a totally different statistic.
I want to expand my knowledge but don't know whether to invest in learning C++ or Rust. Both look like they have interesting concepts, but Rust is new and not yet widely used, and I hear C++ is easy to break in confusing ways. (I have cut Go out of the picture because copying and pasting code is the first thing you learn not to do in school, but all the Go leaders say you have to do this since they don't want to implement generics, so I don't trust their judgment on language design.)

> consuming large amounts (>21-28 units/week) was associated with an increased risk of dementia compared with light to moderate (7-21 units/week) consumption.4

The idea that 21 units of alcohol per week is moderate and also heavy drinking is.... preposterous.

Consider: drinking alcohol (ethanol) is a Group 1 carcinogen.[1] There is no level of alcohol consumption that is safe.

21 units of alcohol per week should always be considered heavy drinking.

Elon does not fall of anything. He will just admit that he was wrong and move on.

Its only Elon Musk haters that somehow want to proclaim every mistake of him as some sort of fall from grace where finally his auro of diseption will be lifted from his victims.
I think by definition if it's heavily plagiarized another source it's not a great article.
It's listed in the South Korean market so it's harder for small investors to access. Also, South Korean stock market is undervalued in general because of the North Korea risk.

Also, Samsung is under tight family control through complicated loopholes and cyclic ownership structure so it'll be hard to gain any significant control of the company away from the family, which makes it less appealing to investors I guess?

I really love this use of shadow! It creates a fantastic appearance of depth. One thought: Since the shadow redraws itself based on cursor position, when you move the cursor off of the grey background container and back on in a different location, the shadow effect seems to skip. At first I thought the site was buggy/lagging. It might be worth it to extend the CSS/JS trigger to the entire viewable document, rather than just the grey box.

There are some good points in here about separating ego from work, and accepting that flaws are an inevitability born from the complexity of software development.

But it's roundabout, uses an unnecessary (and at points erroneous) line of reasoning to get there.

It also conflates the need for "fresh eyes" in problem solving with some ego issue. - How many times have you struggled with something, stepped away for a moment, and come back to find the solution immediately? Or sent code out for a code review, taken it off your mental load, then immediately spotted bugs when you re-visit the code a day or two later?

If you're wondering what the point of this is when word2vec
wikipedia pre-trained embeddings are already easily found

>Wikipedia2Vec is based on the Word2vec's skip-gram model that learns to predict neighboring words given each word in corpora. We extend the skip-gram model by adding the following two submodels:

>The link graph model that learns to estimate neighboring entities given an entity in the link graph of Wikipedia entities.

>The anchor context model that learns to predict neighboring words given an entity by using a link that points to the entity and its neighboring words.

>By jointly optimizing the skip-gram model and these two submodels, our model simultaneously learns the embedding of words and entities from Wikipedia. For further details, please refer to our paper: Joint Learning of the Embedding of Words and Entities for Named Entity Disambiguation.
In my experience all printed material is incomplete, obsolete, or one-sided and frequently all three.

That is not to talk about materials that can't be encoded as text, such as instructions and how-tos for whatever the French version of shop-class is.

You would propose that students be taught such subjects as the French revolution, based on what materials are available in the school library? How can you even ethically do that, when the kids probably can't even get the complete text of the Tennis court oath?
Proprietary software or hidden configurations. I have my site on localhost docker container. But I can't spin up an Aurora instance. So I use a similar mysql container. But it's not exactly the same.

And sometimes the data is too large to have fully on localhost. You can work with a subset, but if you have a 2tb database, it's not feasible to have the whole thing local for testing.

Thanks for DomTerm!

I am pleased with the current ascendancy of Jupyter notebooks, interactive sessions of data manipulation.

When I first encountered Mathematica notebooks in early 1990s, I thought that this would be the way forward. A few years later, XMLTerm with Mozilla.. and it doesn't find an audience.

I was thinking of an uncanny valley between CLI and GUI, but I am writing this in a web browser on an iPad, which is better than any interaction paradigm we might have held in 1990.

We need more work on DOMTerm, notebook-style interaction design. I'm a bit surprised that Windows PowerShell does not play in this space.

> it is therefore impossible for an Actor to do any computation that is not possible by a turing machine

It is impossible for Actors implemented on a Turing machine to do anything that a Turing machine cannot. But the Actor model itself is larger than a Turing machine - eg nondeterminism.

Turing completeness is a lower bound on computation, not a maximum. For instance, a CPU with a hardware random number generator is a Turing machine, but a (basic/strict/pure) Turing machine cannot emulate a CPU with a hardware random number generator!
While I might agree in general (or at the least for consistent application), my point was that often things that help you hurt others. What the law considers anti-competitive and what I consider anti-competitive are different, and I wasn't addressing the law at all. People should just be aware that their consumer choices may harm others that they cannot easily see, that's all.

> those are very different concepts

They are overlapping. Moreover, "parents on the margin of incarceration" are an extremely significant group of parents for whom the discussion of "supporting families as is" vs. "ripping apart" is meaningful at all. For most poor families it's irrelevant as there's no grounds for dissolution.

I believe you can't deny that it's much more common and publicly acceptable to claim that such a criminal parent should be shown leniency when possible, because having no parent at all is horrible. Yet we have evidence to the contrary.

I concede that this may be inapplicable for some other cases (or at least that we have no proof that it would be applicable yet). However, I personally think that those "at risk families" where parents create an atmosphere that's detrimental for stydying (by being aggressive, anti-intellectual etc.) may well be worse than outright criminal ones, and I believe it'd be proven in due time.
The Strange Life of a Murderer Turned Crime Blogger
Let's say a service you still use loses a database backup from 2 years ago, and they don't realize it was lost.

Scenario 1: The service stored passwords in some way and TOTP seeds in the database and uses TOTP to authenticate users.

Scenario 2: The service stored passwords in some way and uses some other 2FA mechanism (like unique codes over some secure channel)

You seem to be claiming there is no different between the two, where as I think I'd prefer scenario 2, because in scenario 1, if my password is obtained somehow (the password was not stored securely, I used a weak password, credential stuffing matched my password from other site leaks against the email in this database leak, or any other way) then the attacker can log in to my account on the service right now and bypass TOTP 2FA. In scenario 2, 2FA is still protecting my account.
Flipping "increased" to "decreased" because it's easier to understand, it says wine significantly decreases risk of dementia compared to abstainers, but that other alcohols do not decrease the risk of dementia.

They probably chose the odd phrasing because the baseline is the same as wine-drinkers, so it's not actually a decrease, but an increase in the other groups.
