Yes, Intel hasn't made a new CPU core for like 3 years now, this will be an Amber Lake Y CPU which are identical in function, features and performance to Kabby Lake Y.

Both are Dual Core, 4 Threads, 4MB Cache same Intel GT2 Graphics, there is literally not a single difference between them besides the SKU numbers.

Interesting, meanwhile my headset is connected 24/7 while I have decreased usage over the past several months (though this is in general for all video gaming, not just VR)

The NUC is quite a bit smaller, and has to pay the price of that compromise: can't keep as powerful components quiet in that size. Assuming Apple doesn't mess up the cooling system, that's a clear plus for the Mac. While I agree that it is late and expensive, it's going to be faster and has higher max specs. And of course it's an up-to-date small desktop mac, which at least some Apple users have been waiting for.
Missive is a central hub for all your team communications, both internal (chat) and external (emails, Twitter, Fb, SMS). We offer an email client like interface (thread based).

The key difference is we offer internal chat (no tied to external conversations) and the UI is more akin to your email client. You consume everything from an Inbox.

Missive really feels like a snappy email client, a lot of our paying users even use it alone (not in a team context) just because they like the UI. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j95F4sr5Qdw)

People have forgotten that we enshrined that as a legal right because we determined it was best for society (or, more likely, never thought about it). It's not just a legal principle; it's a principle of just society. When we ignore it in the corporate world or other aspects of private life, we're saying that we think mob justice and presumption of guilt produces a better world (or a better corporation, etc).

Of course, even in our legal system, all it takes is an accusation. How many people are currently serving times for crimes they didn't commit? I'd bet the answer is disturbing high, especially when the level of certainty is supposed to be beyond a reasonable doubt. Why do so many convicted of murder or other crimes later get proven innocent? If someone didn't commit a crime... you'd think there was quite a reasonable doubt.
Just FYI: tickets were $425 in 2018 with a small minority available at higher prices for those who explicitly wanted to help the event.

It's also fairly easy to get tickets up until days before the event through active secondhand swap communities. Many people do, in practice, show up with only a few days of preparation.
I wasn't sure about this so I did a quick google. There may have been an estimated 20-30 million bison at one point across North America. And currently something close to 80-90 million cattle today in the US alone. To answer why this is bad and bison were fine you have to remember how these creatures are being used. The cattle will be concentrated today in ways the bison never were, so the impact will be less diffuse. Second, the industrial processes around cattle production will use fuel to grow feed, pump water, and transport the beef product that previously would have stayed in the ecosystem when the bison died. These externalities are what cause the problem apparently.

No one single ranch is necessarily causing problems. It's a collective issue. No single person needs to withdraw enough water from the well to run it dry, a town can do it one cup at a time without anyone intending to cause his neighbor to go thirsty.
Agreed that 'fast as lightning' rarely refers to the literal speed of electricity in atmosphere; it's commonly understood to mean 'very fast'.

However, there is no such common understanding of the phrase 'edge to edge' meaning almost edge to edge. Edge to edge in English means it goes from the edge of one side to the edge of the other, literally.

It's not a metaphor. Only Jobs had a powerful enough reality warp to make that fly…
Well some back of the napkin math, atomic mass of platinum, the heavier constituent of the standard is 195. So more than 5 mols of these atoms are in the block, because 1 mol of pt is 195 grams. So there’s around 5610^23 atoms. So 5 parts per 100 million adds up to a lot. Maybe 1.5*10^15 atoms? It’s been a while since I had chemistry...
One way to mitigate slips are mnemonics.. in grain them into the students when they are learning, and they will get stuck with them for life. I have one for pretty much everything I do.
I still have a problem with this. It's similar to voting. In my opinion, one vote / one person changing his habits is not going to do a meaningful difference.

I mean, maybe if you not only change your habits but become vocal about it - encouraging your friends to follow suit, you can make some difference. It needs to become fashionable to be green, and people need to be ostracized for emitting C02.

But this problem is very hard to solve. There is a problem in economics called Tragedy of the commons, and there was one famous woman economist Eleonor Ostrom that proved that people can overcome most of these problems that arise locally with cooperation without government. But for global warming, I think the only way to solve it is governments forcing citizens to change their behaviors.
It makes their database of undelivered messages even more useless.

Yes, their servers can see your IP but if they discard it immediately you're safer if the NSA or another government agency reaches out to them.
You're right. I was working under the assumption that Apple would have just went for TB3 if they supported those features. I'm not going to claim that I know too much about the crazy USB-C/TB3 specs though.

Aragon: Decentralized Organizations
Is there anything different in the T2 chip introduced today in MacBook Air and the one in the MacBook Pro released earlier this year?
Ick, that's part of the story I hadn't heard; my awareness of the whole thing mostly started with the Oracle acquisition. Yeah, that's way different that just offering dual licenses, and not at all ok.
And immutable? Aka, you could not create a DSL that would allow you to create other DSL inside of it?
I hate the bezelless trend. And quite frankly I hate the trend of making devices thin. Now I just need to add depth so I can hold it and use it comfortably without worries about dropping the damn thing.
I am at this very moment switching from Fedora 29 ( I was on the early Beta) to Ubuntu because of the acquisition by IBM. It just doesn't sit right with me.
Just made the last backup before plugging in the USB with Ubuntu 18.10.
Raven Ridge does not offer more cores than Intel CPUs, these are 4 Core dies with an iGPU while Intel offers upto 6 and now 8 with an iGPU.

While Ryzen has good power efficiency as far as power gating goes and power management it's still behind Intel considerably which we can see in actual usability batter tests it will take probably 2 more generations until AMD has the same power management capabilities as Intel does not only for the CPU but for the entire system since Intel has been developing the centralized power management since the Centrino platform.

Why is this product chart SPA better than a simple MPA? The zoom animations do not add any value to the user experience.

Also, with this SPA, you can't bookmark or a share a URL to a particular hardware search, so information and usability is lost. The URLs could be fixed, but the SPA has to explicitly manage the page history. An MFA gets that for free.
Yes, they make some great machines, which are also priced at a premium. You're paying for the (small) size.
There are longer running MMO's, and the playerbase has faded a bit, but you're absolutely right - it's still a monolith, and to which all other MMO's are compared. Regardless of the BFA problems, it still wields a huge amount of power.
It only lets me scroll sideways, so I cannot even use the wheel (even when it gets to the end where it scrolls vertically for a bit). I have to scroll lock the mouse and move the whole thing from side to side. That alone makes me close the window and not read the content.
The Mars Generation Suits Up (2015)
Yes. Although the last time I did (in Perl), I had a vigorous discussion with the interviewer who claimed it was broken (this was before any code was run). Passed every single test in their test suite first time. Most gratifying.
The Vive is an open ecosystem. The hardware is all semi-open and off the shelf, and the software is all on github. The only hangup is that I am not sure whether you can actually BUILD the software on your own or not, as I've never tried.
I know how the principle works. My comment is addressing the ethics of it. I'm expressing my belief that if we're to choose this path, as a species, we should prioritise reducing the population of societies with a large per capita footprint. That won't fly, because those are also the societies with the most firepower.
Yes, on IOS 12 I regularly import very large RAW photos on my first generation iPad Pro. The RAW importing workflow is finally as good as the JPG, meaning it actually processes RAW in iOS photos. I'll also add that in some ways, such as editing levels, the iPad and my phone seem faster than a MacBook Pro. Whether this boils down to specialized hardware, more efficient software or something else I do not know.

I'll also add that the older iPad Pro hardware often goes on fire sale, and may do so more often now.
That camera bulge!

I need a new iPad pro but that really makes me think twice if I should get the older version (and save some money too).

I'm also really unhappy about needing a dongle to connect my headphones. I use my headphones with my iPad daily. I'm also not too happy about needing two chargers, one for my phone and one for my iPad.
You do know what the purpose of IP/patents originally was, right? The fact that companies have brainwashed you into thinking it's "dishonest" for the rest of society to benefit from their original invention is depressing. Why shouldn't other people be able to make their own WoW back-end and offer a competing service? Maybe it'll give Blizzard a proper kick in the ass after nearly everybody else in the MMO space failing abjectly.
I feel like whoever wrote this doesn't have kids or just now started paying attention to what they are doing on their devices. Also, this seems like it would be really obvious; people want money. Kids love to just click everything so there is a ton of revenue there.
...and this is really what it comes down to. State management should come down to what the front end has to manage in order to be well-organized and structured. By creating a multi-page app, all you are doing is forcing yourself to organize your state by page. This is something that can be done simply enough by using modules in your state manager of choice. With a SPA, you have the option, with MPA, the decision of overall organization has already been made.
Just over a year ago, I bought an iMac, specifically because it was the only model (besides the Pro) that I could upgrade the memory after I bought it (which I've done twice already, nice to have 32GB when you have 4 family members constantly logged in).

If this Mini with up-gradable RAM had come out before then, I would have bought it instead.
Sadly often it's sympathy.

D-Link Camera Poses Data Security Risk, Consumer Reports Finds
They were created well before the natural units or atomic units were discovered so they are going to based off of arbitrary measurements that were repeatable by scientists of the past. SI is just as arbitrary as imperial but at least it has the advantage of base-10 for the prefixes. The problem is that you can't just change the kilogram to whatever nice natural unit you want overnight so even moving to nice universal constants would still give you some weird coefficients.
-There exist adapters that are quite stylish that provide thunderbolt, charging (admittedly no magsafe), sd, hdmi, etc all in one piece. They are pretty pricy though.

-Personally, I quite like the feel of the new MBP keyboard, even compared to the 2015 MBP. If you want longer travel distance, get a mechanical keyboard and plop it on top of your laptop. I'm also convinced I can type faster with chiclet style keyboards (I tend to bottom out the keys).

-The trackpad, while large, is actually quite intelligent about detecting accidental presses, and in my memory has never activated unintentionally. I've noticed on my Thinkpad (tiny, tiny trackpad) that accidental trackpad activation is hugely annoying (not sure if Windows deals with it but my Linux drivers definitely don't).

-The touchbar has been absolutely worthless and an annoyance at best. I remap escape to caps lock so I never have to deal with the touchbar.

-I suppose this is an older review, but the current MBPs do have a physical off button (which doubles as a fingerprint sensor).

-The latest 6 core 15 inch is beautiful and fast. I don't think twice about dropping it into my backpack because it's so light, and it's a joy to use day to day. As an iOS developer it's a godsend. I do wish the Mac Pro had a refresh, the iMac Pro seems to be a strong option though.

Not for everybody, e.g., the Swirl R package (https://swirlstats.com/) doesn't work in Jupyter, since Jupyter has limited support for R's many ways of getting interactive input from users.
What games do you play? Both in and out of VR?

It was a good purchase for me because I already own most simulation games that are VR compatible and love simulation in general.
So you are going to justify it like that?

Of course it will. You can have control over retransmission.
I've read that Toshiba is based on old HGST process and those drives were extremely reliable, which is why I wanted to get them for the new Deep Learning workstation.
Not quite. Let's use Amazon as an example. If I believe the market price of Amazon should be 2k, which I believe it's hit, or at least gotten within spitting distance of, this current drop could be called a temporary dip (I'm not saying I necessary hold this view, but to demonstrate).

Since Amazon is currently trading at 1.5k, if I get granted 30k in stock, I get 20 shares instead of 15, which when the stock returns to it's correct price, will now be worth 40k. I make 10k, just due to the bounce.

Now this is impacted by a lot of specifics about how your are granted stock, options, or rsus, but that's the idea.
At least it won't burn out your usb ports...

The New Netflix Stethoscope Native App
You can hardly call them different generations there is zero difference in the core, the Intel Graphics 617 is also looking to be a pure marketing BS it's the same Gen9 GT2 iGPU as the 615 (we have had benchmarks for it on gfx bench for a while now), maybe it will get a 50mhz more graphics boost clock but even that is doubtful since the results are the same as the 615.

Like it wouldn't surprise me if the whole i7-8510Y thing is literally Apple going to Intel and saying please increase the SKU of the same CPU you gave Google for the Slate so it would appear as like ours is faster on paper.

https://gfxbench.com/compare.jsp?benchmark=gfx50&&did1=64774...

The results are so close that they are both within the margin of error of each other and within the normal thermal/power constraints you have between two different mobile systems.

The challenge with mobile parts is that 25-30% performance delta's are not unheard of between two systems with identical parts on paper but very different thermal and power delivery solutions.
Is Hadoop Officially Dead?
Yeah, it really matters if the whales that Japan is hunting are endangered. One is an ecological catastrophe, the other is safe harvesting of wildlife.
Absolutely it is, more so for the poorer southern regions. But tourism is like a natural resource, it becomes a curse. Requiring mostly unskilled workers, it doesnt help diversification of the economy. Most of the tourist-based economies are in third world countries.
Is there an inspector in Safari for iOS? Can I dig into the markup on a page and debug CSS and layout issues?
It is not at all obvious to me that a single page application requires more state than a multiple page application.

Consider a choose your own adventure book.

Both a single page application and a multiple page application can implement this entirely through the url and I don't see how I have any state other than the url.

If that is too facile, there were choose your own adventure books where you had hit points and could fight monsters. So now I store hit points in the session or in the url or in the single page application's state.

Single page application doesn't mean single url. I don't exactly understand what additional state would be required to implement any particular user experience via a single page application or multiple page application. The only difference I see in either case is where the state gets managed and mutated.
They're randomly generated. You'll be in for the long haul.

The article itself says that 48 people (13 of them seniors members) were fired for similar claims. It's not as if Google was turning a blind eye.
CPUs available are:

* Core i3-8100 [0]

* Core i5-8500 [1]

* Core i7-8700 [2]

All of these are listed as having embedded version available, which I would expect Apple to be using, since embedded versions of desktop SKUs in the iMac.

I didn't understand it that way, they didn't built TensorFlow Lite with a QNNPACK "backend". They compared both version on the same benchmarks, but they didn't "merge" the solutions.

So, theorically QNNPACK could be used to implement a TensorFlow Lite interpreter. However it seems the most interesting implementations will use hardware specific accelerations, such as TensoCore RT from Nvidia, or the Google's TensorCores, but QNNPACK seems to only target SIMD optimizations from CPUs.

That still a good amount of work to identify the optimizable building blocks, or validate other approaches such as TFLite, but each mobile processor vendors (Qualcomm, ARM, Intel) already provide implementations of the Android NN API that maximizes the usage of the hardware.

That's why I'm not sure how QNNPACK integrates with the entire ecosystem.

Edit : as I see it, to consume a model for an application, the diagram looks like this :
developer <-> tflite interpreter API <-> Android NN API (if target is Android) <-> vendor provided accelerated implementation (blackbox/binary blob, that's where most of the acceleration is supposed to happen)

Edit2 : Now that I think about it, it doesn't make sense to compare TensorFlow Lite in a benchmark. TensorFlow Lite is only an API and a file format spec, it's not a specific implementation, from what I understand.
Ask HN: I want to learn Wolfram Language
I'm a relatively inexperienced cs student and am interested in learning Mathematica/Wolfram Language. It's a great tool and can do amazing things, but whenever I tried to actually 'learn to program' in this language, I couldn't get very far. My experience is mostly with OOP. I've heard that it's based on lisp and is a functional language. I've tried to teach myself WL with the tutorials included with the package but they seem to be lacking, in that they assume a level of familiarity with the language, and the official examples look like a brainfuck program to me.

What path should I follow if I want to teach myself Wolfram language?
> If I'm shopping for an internet-of-things-enabled doorbell, and a brick-and-mortar retailer only stocks brands with a reasonable history of product security...

Brick and mortar might stock known and respected brands, but it may be that they only have the bottom of that brand’s range of products, and if you want anything better the only place for that is an online shop like Amazon. My typical examples of this (in my European country, I don’t know how things are in the USA) are gigabit wireless routers and higher-end bike parts. Brick and mortar typically stocks only sub-gigabit routers, because that is what the uninformed masses want and are willing to pay for. Local bike shops stock only the broadest mass-market parts, with an emphasis on looks (and even some dodgy China brands in there) over longterm quality.

So, assuming that you know what you really want first, Amazon has served you better. (Leaving aside the problem with co-mingled inventory, where you might get a fake even if you bought a respected product.)
> I found that while the Lua core language itself is small, I had to compile in so much extra stuff to make it useful that it wasn't actually small anymore.

I think the idea is that most functionality is meant to be provided by the host program. If you want a standalone scripting language, then Lua probably isn't for you.

As the Times reported, DeVaul, whose title is “director of rapid evaluation and mad science,” told a young female job candidate during a 2013 interview that he was in a polyamorous relationship.

This certainly does not seem something that warrants firing, and might even be correct behavior depending on circumstances (e.g. if he had reason to believe she would not feel coerced or otherwise be happy consenting).
The Carbon X1 6G is 120 grams lighter and has much more ports. Gonna leave Apple for good. The MacBook Air was an amazing machine for the past 8 years, but Apple lost its way. Too many cargo cults (slimness, few ports, radical changes, secretiveness, to name a few) and too little closeness to their customers (poor repairability, high prices, unwanted features).
> Before Lua 5.3 there was no integer type, this makes a lot of things harder than needed in programming, unless you just write high level code.

Wasn't the idea to only use lua as a high level scripting language, and drop down into C(++) if you needed to go low level?
I like Pantheon. It is light and fast, written in Vala. But why would they switch to it?
