Excellent point! That's one of the reasons why people understood that syntactic definitions (which try and tell you "how anonymous data is" by looking at the data) were not the right approach, and that you had to look at the mechanism to determine whether the process was sufficiently private.

This line of thinking led to the definition of differential privacy, which completely changed the perspective. I wrote two articles about it, one very simple [1] and the other a bit more detailed [2].

Anything the government uses that needs to be hardware-secure (like Secret or Top Secret network devices) are either manufactured in small batches in a secure location or it's totally airgapped so that any "additions" don't matter. Let the Chinese have their extra chip installed anywhere they want and you wouldn't get anything out of it anyways, in that situation.

The real problem is for stuff connected to the non-secure internet, like banks, industry, personal info, healthcare, etc.
That is extremely low for London. That's the salary I'd expect in Bristol, and compared to the rest of the country London is probably a good £15-20k on top of that.

With all that being said, salaries are pretty low in the UK right now, and in my opinion they seem to be getting lower as companies look to hire less experienced developers on cheaper salaries.

I reckon £60k is probably the minimum you should aim for, otherwise you'd be underselling yourself.

I had the intuition that the spaces strictly decreased ambiguity, but your point makes me really unsure of this.

But written German already distinguishes nouns from verbs with capitalization; can the grouping problem be made worse by spaces in the absence of ambiguities about which part of speech a word is? (Obviously the German convention doesn't totally eliminate all such ambiguities, since "wie" 'like (preposition)' and "mögen" 'like (verb)' are both lower case, although "Fliegen" 'flies (insects) and "fliegen" 'flies (verb)' can be distinguished sufficiently to remove the specific kind of ambiguity present in this particular sentence even if "wie" and "mögen" were homonyms.)

One, not much, but I've had almost every member of the Nexus line, starting at the Nexus One, and none have performed flawlessly. Not this badly, but they've never really approached the level of polish that I've seen on the iPhone. This one is worse to the point that it's making me seriously consider switching to an iPhone. That said, the grass is always greener, and I'm sure I just don't know the flaws on the other side of the fence.

Yes, the antitrust ruling could make things very interesting. Samsung would definitely be interested in replacing various google play bits. They've tried and failed with tizen. This would give them another shot. Admittedly, samsung's crap is going to be far worse than google's play services, but in the long run, it may lead to more cross-compatibility and openness because devs aren't going to support every reimagination of play services.
Again, I was comparing top of the line phones only, not the 5C.
Sphinx does this better than most since it is a general purpose documentation tool first with API doc generation as an optional add on. After setting it up you can easily add manually written documentation as needed. Most importantly, you can easily cross-reference the API docs and the manual prose from each other.

Doxygen and its ilk are overly focused on generated API documentation extracted from meta-comments and you rarely see them used with well organized manually written text.
Wow! Great site. Thanks!

> and the major selling points for Windows now is it runs Linux and works with Kubernetes/Docker.

The major selling point for Windows is that it comes preinstalled on the Dell/HP/Lenovo computers our muggles buy. For corporations, the ability to manage identities and lock down the machines from a central location is a killer. The main selling point of Windows for web developers is that it can do that and still run Office well.

As a developer, I'm unconvinced about the value of that second part though. And not convinced at all about the first one too because Macs are Linux-like enough and Linux machines, well, are Linux machines (even when they come with Windows, installing Debian, Ubuntu or Fedora is a zero-effort thing).
What you're asking for is an independently evolving logical schema on top of the physical schema - this is a great idea, but performance guarantees are highly tied to the physical layout of the data.

Apache Spark is the best example I've seen of this in that you can compose schemas on the fly and it will unroll them at the end based on physical layout.

It means not currently an officially supported project. Most open source releases of internal code start out this way and may or may not become officially supported. It is different than deprecated, which was once supported but no longer.
> Android phones have better cameras and match apple in most other hardware metrics

I am sure there is an Android phone out there which has got a better camera, another one that has got better speakers, yet another one with better display and yet another which had got a better build than iPhone. The thing that most people forget is that almost all Android phones have some USPs and in exchange they compromise a lot on something else. Why do you thing the entire Android ecosystem should be treated as a single entity against the iPhone? Show me an Android that does every single thing better (or on par) with iPhone.

My experience has been that iPhones are usually not the absolute best at pretty much anything, but they are usually right up there at the top. Maybe it doesn’t have the absolute best camera, but it certainly has one of the best, and so on. And let’s not even compare the longevity of devices.

And before someone talks about prices, Androids that compete in the same arena as the iPhone cost about the same.

Then there is the app ecosystem. Sure, you have all the big names available on Android. But there are lot of smaller developers with great apps which are missing from Android — simply because of the crappy ecosystem which takes a village to build and support apps for. There are no apps which come close to the likes of OmniFocus, Things etc. And while Google does come up with cutting edge tech like AR, a lot of it is not adopted immediately — if ever — by the third party developers who have to wait for the shiny new version of Android to gain some momentum — something that takes forever in Android land.

So no, it is not just the processor that the iPhone has a clear lead on — it’s the overall experience. I couldn’t care less about the specs as long as the experience is maintained.

Full disclaimer: I am someone who usually carries two phones. This means that given the lack of alternatives, I end up with an Android in addition to my iPhone. And while I like some of the features offered by the individual Android OEMs, I do not consider the ecosystem as a whole to be anywhere near comparable to that of iOS.
Call me cynical, but in my opinion, any company using the service of such agencies, have to know the possibility of abuses and unethical practices that might happen. They may even count on it, but with the great benefit that they now have plausable deniability.
I always thought the modern Baikal initiative to be fueled by the Russian government in an attempt to attain independence from potentially backdoored western products specially after all the PRISM scandal. If RISC-V is a good step in that direction I don’t see why not.
wow. that last paragraph was a little heavy handed on forcing a completely new topic and new facts wasn't it?
Well, except that hyperthreads are not the same as cores, so it's not quite equivalent. My understanding is that the two hyperthreads for a core share some execution resources, but are able to run in parallel for other resources. That means some workloads won't benefit much at all, others will benefit greatly, and the usual case is somewhere in-between.

Also, I think I've heard people here noting how hyperthreading causes some workloads to go slower (possibly from CPU heat throttling? Dunno) so some people disable it in the BIOS first thing.

So the truth is likely somewhere between 2.95W/thread and 5.90W/core (assuming 165W is even correct, there's comments here noting while AMD and ARM quote max, Intel quotes operating average...).

It would change their mainline design (the new "country-specific" look most probably not looking as good as the original one) + having a different design (only for the US market, especially involving the front part which is extremely important in the general look) might probably have to be marketed under a different name (e.g not "A4" but "A4us") with all kind of repercussions on in/direct costs of all kinds (storage space for replacement parts, marketing, research on future evolution, ...).

Additionally, accepting a request from a specific country might trigger a chain-reaction from other countries, multiplying what stated above by the nbr of countries (and I personally don't think that it would be a linear curve as at the same time the costs for coordination between the multiple lines would rise).

> Google cannot block Gmail and YouTube. These are and will be accessible through web browser.

Well, through web browsers that Google chooses to support, given at least Gmail uses UA whitelisting (and, at various times, various non-Chrome Chromium based browsers have been excluded). If Google chooses not to support any browser that runs on the given system and blocks access to any other browser, then Google absolutely can block access to them.

U.S. House Intelligence Committee member wants congress briefed on chip hack
Many zillions of years ago (OK about 23) I was taken on, fresh from the dole, by a factory that made pies (pasties, sausage rolls, pork pies etc (south west UK)) to do the whole IT thing. Anyway, apart from a few other handy skills I learned to bodge a pretty decent spreadsheet, building on experience starting with Super Calc.

I converted planning from Lotus 1-2-3 to MS Excel (for shame) and then with my smart Pentium 60 based machine, developed a nearly complete finite capacity planner for the factory - in Excel. The devil is of course in the detail but my labour plan and forecasts beat the planners most of the time - except at Easter and Christmas.

Could you put those numbers in perspective. Don't know enough to make sense of those. Why did IBM say it couldn't be done and in which year ?
I don't see how it would. ASLR only really helps making it harder for attackers to gain full control when they manage to execute some instructions in your process via memory corruption. It relies on the memory layout being hard to guess, however, the BMC can already just read from arbitrary memory, so it can just look it up. What would help here is isolating PCIe devices with the IOMMU, but this is currently rarely enabled, only for virtualization, apparently due to it's relatively high overhead.
The hyphen seems like a very reasonable compromise, at the very least it tells you the space was intentionally omitted and it should be read together as a compound.

It's a step in the right direction. The effort required to look through every window in one city is a lot more than scanning every router owned by an ISP globally.

Your browser does not know the difference between your lan and the internet so any website you visit can instruct it to interact with websites on your lan. It’s nowhere near ‘perfectly secure’ to have weak security on the lan.

Besides, having weak security on a network means one compromise leads to a lot more. That isn’t very ‘perfectly secure’ either.

> the simplest action for a chip on the SPI bus would be to hold the MISO line low during power on

MISO is master-in, slave-out for anyone not familiar with serial peripheral interface jargon. Usually, the slave quad-SPI memory would send the configuration over this line, so pulling it low should dump the real data to ground.
All ISP's routers in the UK for maybe the last 10 years haven't had weak default password and I've never once seen them print it in an easily visible place. It is always on the bottom, and a few years ago the started adding cards with it on.
> Has this always been the case compared to contemporary Qualcomm/Exynos/etc. SoCs?

Yes, that's my understanding. I've seen this discussion last year and the year before. And every time the answer seems to be caches. Cache memory is expensive. Apple seems willing to pay more for the SoC in order to have an overall experience that lets them get away with the high prices.

From what I read, Qualcomm would not be able to sell at volume an equivalently performant SoC.

The article, which appears to be trying its hardest not to describe what happened, specifies the following:

1. There was a pool of retirement accounts that traded with each other.

2. In an example of the scam, one of these accounts would place an order to sell Danish stocks short, presumably cum-dividend.

3. Another account would respond by placing an order to buy the same stocks. This order never went through, presumably because it was placed at a lower price point.

4. The "buy" account would get its dividend taxes spuriously refunded and then cancel the buy order. The "sell" account would cancel its sell order.

I don't see what the role of the "sell" account is. It looks to me like you could do exactly the same thing with just the "buy" account.
Big takeaways:

- A12 has 8MB on chip “SoC cache”

- Big core L1$ = 128kB; Little Core L1$ = 32kB

- For the big core, L2$ is a whopping 128 instances 6MB per core/thread, 8MB at 64KB/inst.

- Little core L2$ is 32 instances, 1.5MB per core/thread, 2MB at 64KB/inst

- A12 GPU uses memory compression!

- A12 Big has 2.38 GHz base clock and 2.5 GHz 1 core boost

- A12 Little has 1.538 GHz all core, and 1.562 GHz 2 or 3 core boost, and 1.587Ghz 1 core boost

- A11 and A12 have a 7-wide decode (up from 6 on the A10) and 6Int ALU (up from 4 on the A10)

- Apple’s microarchitecture seems to far surpass anything else in terms of width, including desktop CPUs

- SPECint/fp Numbers show that it’s got 2x the speed of and any all other mobile SoC’s. 3x perf/watt if you normalize speed / power consumption.

- SPECint/fp numbers also show that the A12 is faster than a skylake server cpu (in core-for-core IPC). Not a perfect comparison, but far better than Geekbench
To be fair, aren't Apple, Google, Amazon, etc. all pretty much doing the same thing these days?

Everyone wants to own the ecosystem. Everyone is patient enough to integrate with others', but with experiences that are just a little worse than going all-native.

>excel is not usually treated as an engineering tool

This is a good point. I've seen C# & Python devs who read the release notes and adopt new features of C#\Python with alacrity while at the same time their Excel development work, which they spend considerable time on, evolves not at all. E.g., still using IF(ISERROR(...)) rather than IFERROR; VLOOKUP rather than INDEX(MATCH()); slow & brittle array functions rather than SUMIFS; employing many intermediate columns to clean out errors rather than using AGGREGATE(); doing things in VBA that they would never do in their primary programming language (v = Worksheets("pnl").Range("N22:N77").Value).
