How does Dante, who placed all the Greeks and Romans in the first circle of hell (for being non-Christian) lend any plausibility to this idea being present in Greek/Roman mythology? And in fact the article you linked makes no such claim.
Exactly, it's just some dude having fun with sabermetrics.
One can forgive people for not being aware, since they have botched the Windows on ARM port with confused marketing messages for a long time. (Surface RT being the start of this.)
First, you should know that C++11, the C++ standard ratified in 2011, redesigns the language to promote safer and more expressive code. C++11 introduces rvalue references, std::unique_ptr (a smart pointer with unique ownership semantics and a move constructor, superseding std::auto_ptr), auto (type inference), and container iteration syntactic sugar. C++14 and C++17 enhance the changes brought by C++11.

Know about RAII, ownership, move semantics, and smart pointers. Please know that some common C idioms are considered poor C++. (E.g. resource cleanup via goto is superseded by destructors, and malloc and free are superseded by new and delete, which in turn are discouraged in favor of smart pointer RAII.)

Modern C++ is a good programming language, but unfortunately, many resources don’t teach it. Make sure that the resource covers C++11 at earliest. Bjarne Stroustrup, the original implementor of C++, has written some good books. Herb Sutter is another notable C++ author. See also https://stackoverflow.com/q/388242/8887578.

I have put together a (very short) post to build a dashboard using shopify data and pulling ETL with Stich. You could try to implement the stich part in Python and would have a complete solution. Like looking at Stich/Blendo would give you some ideas of simple ETL workflows. Keep in mind that ETL changes depending on what you want to do. In theory you can do all ETL just with Python code. If you have an SQL compliant database that can hold your data ETL processes could simply be a matter of running SQL queries to transform data within the database. Then you basically load your data from any data source into your db and you run a bunch of SQL to do the transform part.

>When Africanus asked who, in Hannibal’s opinion, was the greatest general, Hannibal named Alexander… as to whom he would rank second, Hannibal selected Pyrrhus… asking whom Hannibal considered third, he named himself without hesitation. Then Scipio broke into a laugh and said, “What would you say if you had defeated me?”

The article leaves off Hannibal’s reply, which is

"Then, beyond doubt" he replied,
"I should place myself both before Alexander and before Pyrrhus and before all other generals"

Basically, Scipio was fishing for a compliment, and when he got that compliment he was satisfied.
Indeed. It's sometimes hard to acknowledge when the people you admire and look up to turn out to be horrible people.
I had an idea to do something similar but with the following differences:

- publishers could submit either text or audio

- publishers could choose between summarizing the entire book, or each chapter

- the app would have a kind of "marketplace" where summary writers could link up with audio producers. This would be helpful for (a) people who want to publish both written and audio summaries but didn't have audio knowledge, and (b) people who want to monetize their audio capabilities but don't necessarily know any books to summarize.

Feel free to steal my ideas. I reeaaalllyyy want an app where I can find decent long-form podcast-style summaries of non-fiction books that I don't have the time to read.

The OS could do that as well, yet we see a lot of userspace-only exploits and hacks.
Yes, that would be lovely. My bet is that Google will be #2 lagging Baidu a lot. You can look at South Korean search market for a preview.
That is funny. The reason I don't follow tech people on Twitter is that they spend all day posting about left-leaning US politics, feminism, LGBTQ-whatever, etc. which are things I couldn't care less about.

That's one of the bad things of social media: you want to read about tech or movies or sports or whatever so you follow someone in the field but you also have to read his political opinions, see pictures of his kids, see the latte he just ordered, etc. Insufferable.
so that means they have figured out a way to monetize it?
I'm not very familiar with C and macros so it took me a while to realize that this line:

mu_assert("error, bar != 5", bar == 5);

will return out of the function before reaching the next line.

For anyone else like me, I put together the "inlined" version of the code to help me understand what is happening:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "minunit.h"

int tests_run = 0;

int foo = 7;

static char * test_foo() {
do {
if (!(foo == 7))
return "error, foo != 7";
} while (0);
return 0;
}

static char * all_tests() {
do {
char *message = test_foo();
tests_run++;
if (message)
return message;
} while (0);

// ... more tests here

return 0;
}
Thanks for this. I am in fact from Pakistan but resident in Bahrain currently. And yes, I had to move out from Karachi due to security situation.
My info may be out of date, but I think Intel also has a production advantage. AMD doesn't have the capacity to, for example, own 45% of the market and leave Intel with 55%, as I understand it.
Why would that be ironic? Some museums are for foreign antiquities, some of them are for native/aboriginal artifacts and history. A city can have more than one museum.

Woah, fatal_error.

Does "Intel Inside" sound familiar? That's because it worked amazingly well, and people chose Intel over AMD back in the day just because they "felt" better about it. Some even chose it because they didn't want to get AMD shamed ("Aw poor person; they could only a afford an AMD.").

Not saying Intel CPU lineup wasn't better than AMD's product, (especially at the height of the marketing program when laptops used to have "Intel Inside" stickers), but a lot of people didn't even bother comparing. They just chose Intel-based computers.

And that's the story of how so many people I know ended up buying a PC with a crappy Celeron* (I know, I know, the new ones are better).

Sure, CPUs are harder than iPods to market to consumers. Most haven't a clue what ARM Cortex-A7 is. But, that could be the issue. They need to step up their brand identity. They also should probably tell people that ARM doesn't actually make hardware for consumers. They just design the architecture and license that design to silicon manufactures.

Most people knew they were buying an Intel. Most people don't know they bought an ARM. They could do better.

*: I assume some bought them because the salesman at Best Buy said "dude, Intel's are what you want. AMDs are slow."
OP Here, Thanks for all the great links, suggestions and ideas. One question I forgot to ask is the following: What exactly does Transform mean ? It seems to me that it's a very volatile concept and can change depending on the project. I'd love to know your thoughts on this. Cheers.

Think about it this way. You're a bagel shop. You don't have the best bagels out there, but your bagels are okay.

One day, Tom Hanks starts coming to your bagel shop. Every morning, he comes in, buys a bagel, and eats it at the counter. Suddenly, people are flocking to your bagel shop to see Tom Hanks.

But Tom Hanks never cleans up after himself. He never tips.

Now you've got plenty of people coming in. They're all here to see Tom Hanks. And they never clean up after themselves. And they never tip.

Do you say something? Do you kick people out who leave bagel crumbs all over the floor? If you do, Tom Hanks might stop showing up. If you ban people who make messes, but you don't ban Tom Hanks, it's going to be obvious that you care more about money than principles or being fair.

Twitter is being propped up right now in a huge way by Tom Hanks, and they need to tread carefully around the situation less they risk Tom Hanks visiting another bagel shop and potentially taking everyone else with him.
That's some crazy grasping at straws. It is ridiculous to say that Tesla marketing high-performance sports sedans somehow paved the way for cars like the Nissan Leaf, which are cute little EVs that look like EVs. It is even more ridiculous to say that Tesla somehow made the EV market "what it is" by marketing high-performance sports sedans, when the majority of the cars in the market are cute little EVs like the Leaf.

People don't give a shit about sports sedans. The Prius proved there was a market for a cute little car that was environmentally friendly, and that's what's driving most of the EV market right now. When someone releases a sub-$30k cross-over SUV (you know, the cars people actually buy), then you'll see EV sales really take off.

Glad to see my Alma Mater leading in things like this. Now NYU medical school will be an even more sought-after destination.

Still I look forward to a world where this scarcity of ivy league schools, news organizations, self-driving car software etc. is a thing of the past and everyone collaborates on a growing snowball of knowledge.

I believe universities will eventually turn into centers for labs, certification and socializing, while information delivery (the commodity) would be done entirely online and students would form their own groups. Then, school would be much cheaper - and we could even have free subsidized tuition for all!

Qualcomm also design their own implementations of ARM (e.g. the current Kyro), though they do definitely ship some things with ARM designed cores.
Build a web scrapper and save some raw data in somewhere like S3. Then run some job on top of that data to get aggregated measures and save them somewhere. I built a project[1] like this and learned a lot in the process. I used airflow to run the scrapping tasks, save the data in S3, use AWS Athena to run queries and load data into Redshift. I did all of this just to learn more about Airflow and some AWS tools.

libreboot specifically points out to ME and PSP, and doesn't point any such thing for ARM.

A complication is that ARM only designs the ISA, implementors can very much add their own management system to the SoC.

I would imagine it comes down to margins. In a competitive market, customers aggressively try to drive down prices. Most silicon companies are too smart to play that game. You fight to establish dominance up front. If you don't win the market, you're unlikely to every become profitable, so you cut your losses and exit.

One thing that infuriates me is when I don't get shown a Tweet from an account I follow, only to be notified that someone else 'liked' the tweet. Just show me the Tweet! I follow the account because I want to be kept up to date with it. Not be kept up to date with it when someone else I follow likes it!

I'm very lucky I can just leave Twitter for days/weeks on end. I know for some it's become a necessity.
Perhaps, but given the volume and variety of modern electronics, it's easier than ever for a receiver to look like something else, at least if you don't crack open the case. An antenna can be harder to conceal, but you can often pick up transmissions by tying into unconventional antennas, like the rebar in a slab of concrete, or a long metal railing. You could probably fit a purpose-built receiver / demodulator for FT8 in a usb stick.

It's something that is not easy to find information on due to the sensitive nature of the subject. But with just a bit of google, you can find things like this:

https://www.thelocal.fr/20160109/immigrants-struggling-to-in...

The article there seems to be saying even with 2nd generation immigrants from africa are reporting less integration as they feel more isolated from the identity than their parents and find themselves worse off economically.

So if this is the case, I don't see any reasons why the 3rd generation and onwards would suddenly bounce back from their isolated and relatively poor positions on their own without more intervention from the host nation.

Combine that with new waves of immigration, why wouldn't you see some of these 3rd generation ethnic africans find new identity in the africans that have just showed up?
Samsung too (Exynos M1-M3). I think Qualcomm designs are heavily modified Arm designs, though.
Because you need two compromises and hacking the secure enclave is a much harder proposition than finding a exploit that allows you to read the memory of an iPhone. Public information about how the secure enclave really works has been hard to come by.
Yes, AMD's PSP is actually licensed from ARM, its why there is a small ARM Cortex CPU on AMD's CPUs and APUs. The first few times they tried adding it on did not go well FYI, so they disabled this small chunk of silicon at the factory.

In 2013 AMD successfully fabricated a CPU with said ARM Cortex core embedded, thus that was the first year they actually offered their PSP. AMD had similar problems with their APU's for a number of years IIRC, whereby making a single chip with both CPU and GPU on it had poor yields with a high percentage of dead chips.
What I like about using SQL is I can prototype with SQLite, Postgres, etc and then adapt and move to Hive, Impala, BigQuery, etc. SQL is literally everywhere, and I don't have to learn to paradigms and frameworks.

Do we know what Apple is paying? Remember that ARM started as a joint project from Acorn, Apple, and VLSI. Apple certainly held a full architecture license from founding, despite not designing one until comparatively recently, which to me implies there's some specific license.

I certainly assume they weren't paying large amounts for a license when relatively poor in the 90s despite holding one.

Do you have an official reference? I would believe that persons in the industry may use slang terms, but technically it would be incorrect to refer to a bank as a lender in most 'loans' they perform.

If you check the Promissory Notes, I'd guess they probably don't say "lender", except as possibly an alias for a definition that is not equivalent to the standard definition -- wherein, one forgoes actual physical property (cash, for example) for another's use; with the expectation that the property will be returned at some point (possibly with some form of payment to compensate for the real loss of property).

Edit: Do you think Wells Fargo has myriad $100k bundles just sitting around waiting for students to take? I don't think so. They use their power to create new money, rather than loan out the entire principal from their reserves.

I think you have to look at the environment in which Alexander fought, compared to Napoleon. Alexander fought in a world that was sparse and heterogenous. His enemies were unable to learn from their failures and they were not able to adopt the means of Alexander's success. Alexander fought asymmetric wars were he benefitted from the asymmetry.

Napoleon fought on a continent that had effectively been locked in a military stalemate for over 200 years (maybe as long as 800 years depending on how you count). The density of Europe during that time meant information about his means of victory would spread all his enemies, and the prevalence of writing helped ensure a degree of accuracy. Napoleon fought symmetric wars. He had no great advantages of culture or technology to help him. His enemies were able to learn from him and despite this he achieved incredible victories against huge numerical odds. Even his losses were incredible. The Battle of Leipzig started with Napoleon outnumbered and surrounded, then a third of his army (the germans) defected. Despite this, Napoleon inflicted more casualties then he received, and he escaped with his army in relatively good order despite the fact that an idiot colonel botched Napoleon's retreat plans.

I don't think speaking to computers is a problem so much as speaking to someone's marketing-data-aggregating cloud service. This can even be explained to a child fairly easily, e.g.:

"Siri isn't the iPhone. She's a very powerful computer who lives far away, and talks to us through the iPhone. Just like you can talk to Grandma through it."

"Where does Siri live?"

"Well, um... she lives in a cloud, sweetie."
