The devices are tested for usual STP. Nothing else, unless specified. They are done so not for human comfort, but for tested conditions. No more.

Precisely, if we are talking about low-latency, why would we let the communications go through the application (in user-land), to the kernel, then to the network stack, then be received by a kernel from another node, and then finally received again by the application in user-land. I would imagine as a first guess that bypassing several linux kernels and directly accessing remote hardwares would be mandatory for best low-latency.

If they are some info on internet about the software stack/architecture of the entire system, I would document myself on that. I didn't explore all the links I posted above yet.

I'm nowhere an expert, and HPC is really specific use case, but there is surely interesting bits to learn from it
They just added SQL DML (insert/update/delete) a couple of weeks ago. Adoption will probably head up now. https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/databases/develop-and...

Thanks for your kind words about my book. I never quite knew when writing it whether it would find its way to the people I mainly wrote it for -- those interested in math who don't know a whole lot about it. They aren't thick on the ground. So it's a real, sort of rare blast for me to hear about it arriving where I'd hoped.

I have a better idea -- every should contain (at least in metadata) public information about the organization who bought it. For political ads, there additionally should be the price paid for the ad.
> A group of monkeys being raised in an indoor arboretum had some injuries, and the scientists installed much more stout sticks and secured the vegetation. No more injuries due to broken branches, but when the monkeys were introduced to the wild, instead of swinging & leaping through the leafy canopies like their wild brothers, they cowered at the trunks. They'd completely failed to learn while young the skills required, and so the release failed for that generation.

Do you have a link about this one? Sounds interesting.
That's what parents are for. I foresee a whole line of toddler dexterity toys.
List of Literature on Dynamic Programming Speedup
The 15TB drive packs in 1108 Gbit/inch2. That is, each bit is a square of side 8.5nm. This is small but the transistors in flash are smaller [1]. As mind blowing as the numbers (for both technologies) are in the referenced article, that article is now 2.5 years old. Is anyone aware of more recent numbers?

Indeed, given recent history I’d almost suggest it is better to take the site down for a few minutes than let the automatic failover systems put you into a 24-hr degraded service situation.
Dell does call it edge-to-edge in their marketing - https://www.dell.com/en-my/work/shop/cty/pdp/spd/xps-13-9365... - "Real wonder. The revolutionary InfinityEdge display is now available for the first time on a 2-in-1, providing a virtually borderless edge-to-edge view, all in the smallest 13-inch 2-in-1 on the planet*." Note that they talk about the borders as being outside the edge-to-edge part.

Lenovo also use it on this desktop with bezels the size of the moon[1]: https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/desktops/lenovo/b-series/b50-30... saying it has a 'vivid 23.8" edge-to-edge display'

Microsoft use it to describe the Surface Laptop here - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/surface-laptop-1st-gen/90f... - "Enjoy more space for your ideas with an edge-to-edge display and ultra-thin bezel." - specifically calling out the edge-to-edge display as being a separate thing from the bezels as well.

HP describe this desktop iMac ripoff with huge bezels as "edge-to-edge" here: http://www8.hp.com/h20195/V2/GetPDF.aspx/c06002849 - "An entertainment sensation; Sit back and enjoy a captivating entertainment experience. Elevate every stream, video chat, and photo with an edge-to-edge up to QHD display"

Acer uses it to describe a laptop in 2012: https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/press/2012/50215 - "Featuring a 10-point touch edge-to-edge display and a larger trackpad, the Aspire V5-471P and V5-571P are designed to enhance multi-gesture content" - and it's a 2012 laptop, it has bezels.

The claim that only Apple use it and it's a lie and nobody else uses it in their marketing is nonsense.

It sounds like he is infected with something very similar to a religion. Religious ideas are very hard to change. For every rational argument, there's a doctrine-based reply.
Last year, I wrote a small single-page app engine that takes a JSON representation of HTML, and writes it to the DOM to build the page in the browser. The entire app is described in one JSON document, so it's quick to download and needs no network to change pages. I'm slowly starting to develop it again. The demo site is still up (with a SPA builder) at https://sparational.com and you're welcome to suggest any improvements.
I Google'd "define:metaphor" and it says "a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable."

and... Grammarly says "A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison."

Soooo this supports the idea that "edge-to-edge" can be descriptive but not literally true, and be described as a metaphor, right?
That horizontal scroll web page was the most jarring thing my brain has done in a while.
Huge fan of just including an environment.yml for a conda virtual-env in the repo you store your notebooks in, but the challenge there is that it's OS specific reproducibility. I've had no luck creating a single yml for all OS's and the overhead of creating similar yml's for (say) Mac and Win is a lot unless you plan on sharing your notebook widely.
This is nuts! Why would you even vent flammable gases indoors on a construction site?!

>> Since we are exporting a higher order component, it makes testing the component more complicated than it has to be.

What exactly are you testing on the connected container components? I agree with the stack overflow article you linked to, just test the components... not the connected components. [0]

>> While this methods has very less boilerplate code and it allows us to properly test each function, it kind of a hack since we are exporting a function just to make is testable which is a code smell. We should export a part of our code only if it is being used somewhere else, not to test it.

No it's not. Unit tests are good, mocking is the real code smell here.[1] You should in fact have more of these unit tests instead of a bunch of integration tests.[2]

My auntie takes more pleasure from watching the news to see what colour tie the newsreader is wearing than from watching the news to find out what is happening in the world. I personally believe that she is missing out on something. I also think that she could watch something on the other side if it is fashion that really interests her, particularly when her comments on ties prevent others in the room from actually hearing the news.

I had a school friend that used 7" records as frisbees and made 12" records into plant pot holders. This was fine until he started doing this with my prized records.

It is the same here, there is a disconnect going on, a lack of appreciation for Shakespeare which is more than mere 'classic literature', it is an education.

The original name was the "Joy Button", but that was too much for IBM.

So after pooh-pooh-ing the name "Joy Button", IBM finally settled on and trademarked the name "Trackpoint." But one concession they made, was when they published a two page ad spread in Time Magazine with a close-up of the Trackpoint, above the slogan "So hot, we had to make it red!"

Ted Selker also made a prototype Thinkpad with TWO hot red Trackpoints on the keyboard, which invitingly resembled a pair of nipples. It was very popular with everyone he tested it on, but unfortunately OS/2 had no idea how to cope with two pointing devices, so there wasn't much use for it, besides being a wonderful ice breaker at parties.
Oh I did this too a few years ago. Except I used gifs instead of jpegs, and then wrote a Ruby wrapper for backing up files to Flickr. Blog post about it here: https://namwen.svbtle.com/hoardr
The problem if you use "a" and "d" is that it will only work with qwerty keyboards. In azerty for instance the equivalent would be "q" and "d".

So for a small demo it's probably better to just use arrows as this will work everywhere, and there won't be a need to support all keyboard layouts out there.
It's hard to argue with people who think that a debate is won by finding the best ad-hominem put-down. It's probably not even worth trying, unless you enjoy a kind of rational trolling where you state your case and ignore the responses.

Before everyone jumps in with opinions protecting DeVaul or wondering why this happened, read [1] and [2]:

1. The executive has admitted fault.

2. The fault included:

a)Mentioning his relationship status ("poly") to a candidate during the interview;

b)Asking for a sexual favor off-site while the candidate was still waiting for response

Neither it in and of itself an offense. The critical part is that he has done so from a position of power, specifically - as the interviewer, during the employment process.

That's as black-and-white discrimination as I can see.

Without the adjectives these sentences would be tautological. Everyone has “expectations”, uses “muscle activation” and “integrates” movements to achieve physical tasks. Etc.

The adjectives emphasize that these are skills in excess of inherent human capabilities, requiring someone with special experience/training.

Just because Jony Ive uses adjectives in slickly produced marketing videos doesn’t mean other people shouldn’t use adjectives where appropriate in conversation.
Is this a serious comment? How do we communicate without advertisements?

Nice option for people who love the form factor, if somewhat expensive. I was surprised that it weighs about 3/4 of a pound more than a MacBook, but then it is a 13” screen rather than a 12” screen.

I have had computers since before I bought an early Apple II (I had a single board Intersil PDP-8 emulator board) and I must say that my MacBook is my favorite computer ever. I am not sure why someone would buy the new MacBook Air over a MacBook.
The app is specifically aware of the IOT device's API in order to use it at all. Why wouldn't it be aware of the IOT device's method for presence + intention verification?

I left out another option for adding additional authorizations (beyond the initial setup), which should work for "important" IOT devices, like google home or amazon echo, that are already associated with an account someone is using and monitoring:

- Send a confirmation prompt to the primary Google/Amazon account holder: "Do the "do you authorize <device>/<app> to access the API on your Google/Amazon X device?"

Standardization would be great, but implementing one or two more API calls to deal with first-use verification of a remote app doesn't seem like a big deal when the app is going to be doing lots of other stuff with that specific device's API.

For me, I find it difficult to make quick connections with people, so I'm unlikely to really "meet other people" in a brief week or two in another place. In this way, I find myself a true tourist in almost all places I visit, which is not so interesting.

At this point I'm most excited about travel where I know somebody who lives there and can make those connections for me.
This sort of argument is the ultimate dead end. Shall we have no legislation on anything which isn't universally considered beneficial?

Besides which, choosing no legislation is a choice in itself. Having no law on speech isn't a middle-ground, it's an extreme. It's an understandable extreme, and though I disagree with it in limited fashion I don't think it's an unreasonable case to make. But it is nevertheless not the balanced middle-ground choice you're presenting it as.
Depends on where the sensors are located. If at head height, the helium may occupy the layer above and tall people would have a hard time.
Split is becoming like that as well. Right now, almost all of the restaurants and bars in the center are closed until next season. It's all a big ruse.
As an example, the current gen Macbook Pro has an SSD that is soldered to the motherboard (so you obviously can't remove it and cable it up to USB via an adapter to extract data).

Apple installed a port on the motherboard that their techs can use to recover data if the motherboard fails. But sure enough it didn't work with my 11 month old Macbook Pro.

Moral of the story... even if Apple has a mechanism for hardware failures, there's a chance it won't work.

The problem was not kink. The problem was not Burning Man.

a)Mentioning his relationship status ("poly") to a candidate during the interview

b)Asking for a sexual favor off-site while the candidate was still waiting for response

This is textbook discrimination.

It's good to see him go.[1]

Here's an even simpler example: a flip of a fair coin.

Suppose this is your first flip, one would intuitively think that there is 50% chance of H and 50% T.

Suppose you flipped once and got H. For your second flip, one might intuitively think that since the number of times getting H over the long run is 50% of the total flips, and we already have a flip of H, to "balance it out" the next flip should have a smaller probability of getting H. Instead that is wrong. The next flip still has 50% chance of H.

Suppose further that one has performed N flips, all of them H. One might even think that because of the way the geometric distribution works, it is very unlikely for the next flip to be H again. Instead that is wrong. The next flip still has 50% chance of H.

I pretty much agree that Lua can survive such throughput, but I question whether Lua can survive the code complexity. I have written about Lua previously on [1] with a vocal conclsion that Lua cannot really handle a large code base (in the order of 10^5 lines), so I like to hear otherwise (hint: I hadn't). That's why...

> By all means, stay away from Lua and use Python and Node for new projects; [...]

...we have ultimately dropped (a heavy duty use of) Lua from all new projects. C# seems to suit our needs (or any other statically & strongly typed languages---obviously excluding C/C++---would probably do).

Mentioning that you are single, and subsequently asking for a sexual favor off-site while the candidate is yet to hear from your employer on the hiring decision most definitely is.

In the context of b), you know full well that a) was a form of making sexual advances. By itself, it's ambiguous, but the ambiguity is not there in light of what he did later.

In case you missed it, DeVaul has asked the person he interviewed to remove her shirt to let him do a back massage, repeatedly, while she was waiting on the hiring decision.

This is a new one on me, I'm not aware of any rigorous lower limits on off gassing which have actually ruled it out as the source of the acceleration. Do you have any citations?
ProSieben buys eharmony
Perhaps we could mandate a shutdown of Facebook and Twitter 1 week prior to elections. This wouldn't impede citizens' ability to exercise their first amendment right to speak, as there are many, many other outlets for citizens' speech.

This would temporarily remove two channels through which manipulators can scale damage instantly. That would help.

I think the benefit of doing something like this would be so useful that I'd be glad to give Facebook & Twitter a tax break on their lost revenue.

I mean, neither Facebook nor Twitter will adopt any effective measure that hits their revenues. We have to do it for them.
If it makes you feel better:

Hospitals of reasonable size typically have an on-site clinical engineering team that handles those kinds of situations. Important (that is, capital expense category) hospital equipment will typically emit all kinds of warnings and alarms way before anything's actually a problem, because everyone would rather rely on the on-site engineering spending a little extra time silencing false positives then leave anything to chance.
