Steve is rolling over in his grave on this.
Can you elaborate? I'm genuinely interested.

I seem to have addictive tendencies, but there's a whole multi-dimensional spectrum, as far as I can tell. In my case, when I'm working overtime, I'll jump into a game every few hours for 30-60min just to let some of the stress off. It's quite effective, but I end up popping figurative gaming-pills instead of learning to deal with stress in a constructive way. I'll also do something like that after a tiring day. It's not good, because it's grown into an urge that I get when it's time to relax, so I neglect other parts of life to which I'd ideally dedicate that free time.
You've summarized succinctly my position. I agree 100%.

You just can't recurse and the same function can't be called from isr and from main context at the same time. Basically, nothing is re-entrable. Otherwise it's quite fine. To be sure, you shouldn't be doing those things anyway if you have 64B of RAM and 512 words or ROM. :D

Labeling is a problem, and I think the accepted defintion of "open source" is not a very good one. We have "free" software, "open source" software, and "free and open source" software, but I feel these terms are too amorphous and overlap needlessly. It would be easier to describe some of these "kind of open source" licenses if "free" and "open source" had more disjoint definitions.

Free software gives you the freedom to do whatever you want with the software: run it however you want, modify it, redistribute it, whatever. It should be possible to have "free" software that is not open source, i.e., software that requires more roundabout hacking to modify. You'd have the right to redistribute your modifications, even if they were made without the benefit of having the original source. I would expect most free software to also be open source, but it needn't be required

Open source software ought to simply describe software that is 'open' in the sense that you peer into it, see how it works, tinker with it, and otherwise extend it with the benefit of having the original source code. It shouldn't necessarily imply the same level of freedom as 'free' software. The right to resell, for example, need not be guaranteed.

Free and open source would combine the rights conferred by being both free and open source, just as it does today: you can use, modify, and redistribute the software and/or its source code (which is freely available) however you like, give or take some licensing nuances like reciprocity.

On a side note, I agree about the ambiguity of 'free' and the the confusion regarding "free as in speech" and "free as in beer". I will also note that I misunderstood "free as in beer" for a very long time. I'd originally assumed it related to the fact that no one 'owns' beer (in the IP sense): everyone is free to make and sell it.
Apple is demanding reasonable prices that reflect the quality of their work. Developers should do the same, and those prices for the main tool they earn their livelihood with won't be a problem then.
I think the entry level macbook pro is better buy than this. For $100, the CPU is much better, and very likely the build quality too. And everything else including weight, keyboard, ports, battery life etc. mostly the same.

Perhaps I'm missing some context in the thread, but it seems like many are missing the fact that Micro.blog is actually trying to solve just this--you own your own domain and the data! It is one of the first paid IndieWeb platforms out there that is trying to make it simple for the non-technical user to jump in with both feet. While it may not have _everything_ yet, for a relatively inexpensive hosting fee you've got your own website for long posts, short notes, photos, etc. that is part of an integrated community. If you want to pull up stakes, you can export your data and move your domain and site somewhere else.

It also seems like a major bonus that it also supports new specs like webmention, micropub, microsub, etc.

"And the price difference between different consumer SSD types is minimal."

Samsung 860 EVO 2.5" SATA III 2.5in SSD, 250GB $109.99

Samsung 860 EVO M.2 SATA III SSD, 250GB $109.99

Samsung 860 EVO Series mSATA SSD Solid State Drive, 250GB $109.99

Samsung 970 EVO NVMe M.2 PCI-E x4 SSD, 250GB $129.99

With greater capacities, the price difference gets larger. But at 1 TB it is still less than a factor of 2.
I'm self taught (well, related degree) so I missed out on OS and compiler classes that got into C beyond a basic level. What is the best resource out there for someone who is interested in learning C from a systems programming perspective? I would LOVE to dive in and learn everything I can about it, but there is so much contention out there about what to learn/where to learn it from that I get analysis paralysis and end up going nowhere with my interests.
Eau Claire area has Cray Inc, Intel, Jamf, and others.
Don't tell them!
For sure. There are external Thunderbolt 3 NVMe SSD enclosures out there that can read and write in excess of 2000 MB/sec, which is reasonably close to what an Apple internal soldered-on SSD can do.

Given the prices of internal storage from Apple (a $1400 upgrade for 2TB ouch!) I think this is the route I would go.
This attack would be pretty easy to mitigate. Why does WoW allow you to run scripts in your chat window? Who needs that functionality?

Yes, don't run untrusted code as a user, but also developers should be practicing defense in depth[0]. This isn't like pasting something into a web browser's dev console or a Bash prompt, WoW has the ability to just outright turn this behavior off.

Look at something like the Signal source code, they flat out turn off webviews entirely[1]. So an entire class of phishing attacks just vanishes, regardless of what they're doing to block XSS or malicious links.

WoW should do the same thing - your chat window should not have access to its host environment, if it even needs the ability to run scripts in the first place.

> Apple says the new Air takes up 17-percent less volume than the past model.

Do anyone really care at this point ? I'd rather have those 17% filled with batteries or storage.

Do people really choose a laptop based on its dimensions ? (I don't mean the transportable laptop vs ultrabook).

> Apple says the display now has a 2560×1600 resolution and 48-percent more color than the prior model.

Just goes to show how terrible the previous screen was I suppose. /s

> It will start at $1,199, which is a jump from the $999 starting price of the older MacBook Air.

So, no more $1000 usable laptop in the apple ecosystem ? That kinda sucks. I though the brand was declining and that would open up Apple to lower its prices.

If technology is going forward then why does it get more expensive ?

So, when my then-girlfriend and I moved in together a long time ago, she brought with her a bottle of vegan Worchestershire sauce. I tried it at one point, next to a bottle of Lea and Perrins, and I concluded that the only way you could possibly consider it a substitute for Worchestershire sauce was if you had completely forgotten what Worchestershire sauce tastes like, and were going off of some really hazy memories of it.*

I think of that bottle of ersatz Worchestershire sauce whenever I hear from Linux advocates who say that some piece of GUI software is as good as a big commercial project in the GUI realm. My experience with Linux window manager solutions is that they look good in screenshots but whenever you go to use them, the fit and finish just isn't there.

* I wouldn't say soy sauce tastes all that much like Worchestershire sauce, but it's a far closer substitute than anything I've seen labelled as vegan Worchestershire.
Bravo! Just the sort of rational and engineering driven thinking that linux represents.

There are two kinds of concerts for sure.

Sometimes it just depends on the crowd. Interestingly, with respect to the original subject, the smaller shows for more extreme bands are usually full of really friendly folk who will instantly stop to help someone, or lay down the law on someone being too rough to smaller people.

The rougher pits I've been in tend to be for the larger shows that trend towards a more "hardcore" style. You get more aggressive punk kids in that situation.

You're being silly, it is a metaphor and it's been used before Apple ran with it. The Dell XPS was often said to have an edge to edge display. [0] It didn't, literally, the bezels are similar to this ipad.

Because in the context of displays there isn't really any big consumer product out there that actually has no bezel at all. Rather you have all these nearly edge to edge displays. And we talk about them as being edge to edge, razor thin bezels etc. There's no consumer out there who thinks he's getting a display without bezels. Everyone gets the metaphor.

> It's not a metaphor.

If you don't think it's a metaphor you'd have to believe that Apple truly thinks this device has no bezels, that consumers typically think it has no bezels, that journalists using these descriptions think they have no bezels, because they all take 'edge to edge' as being literal, rather than metaphorical. And that's simply not true. It is a metaphor, whether you (or I) think it's an appropriate one or not.

You’d naturally expect a game’s add-ons to be sandboxed, perhaps with permission-requests, ala mobile, wouldn’t you?

The installation of an add-on shouldn’t inherently give it free reign, with the only possible defense being trust & source-code review.
Loud critics make up a tiny percentage of the player base. You have no idea what the numbers are and won't until blizz releases them.

I'll take one in "Questions to which the answer is 'No'".

Merger or no, there's a huge install base of Hadoop clusters doing useful (and not so useful) work.

Is Hadoop just another tech now? Yes. But it's not dead.
Do you know what helps it run on time? New, reliable rolling stock and shorter dwell times. Electric systems are way more reliable than diesels - many fewer moving parts and no particulate matter to gum things up.
The same applies regardless of the processor (size).

Less overhead will allow a cheaper device.

Its worth noting that the java support on Cortex-Ms (Jazelle) is deprecated. If you're using a cortex-m class device, chance are you don't want to be running java on it.

Note that I'm talking in general terms, there are always exceptions to the rule (such as for the rare sandboxed application).
How long til they stop selling laptops or developing MacOS (as opposed to iOS), ya think?

Is Microsoft preparing an x86 emulation layer for their ARM-based OS? Because as the past has proven, nobody wants to buy a Windows PC that can't run Windows software. Unfortunately, it's almost all been compiled to run on x86. Or are they still betting on moving everything to UWP?
No mention of Deep Learning in a top ML algorithm list in 2018? Kinda odd if you ask me.

Signal is great, but on my home internet sending and receiving a photo in fb messenger or whatsapp might take 3-4 seconds total. In signal it regularly takes 30 seconds just to send or receive. I'm inclined to believe that's a problem with signal.

Couldn't this be a failure from the European cities in question?

While European countries are on the top of the list, the cities? Not that much.

The first one is Bangkok. With around 22 million tourists. Paris is third with 18 million. Interestingly, Paris has more things to see, a more extensive metro system (actually waaa..y more extensive). Yet, I seem to be more bothered by tourists in Paris than in Bangkok.

In Bangkok, the tourism is spread around the city. There is the Sukhumvit line which is quite a lot of BTS stations. It is full of hotels but things are spread out. You do see lots of tourists but there doesn't seem to be a problem of tourists overcrowding as in Paris.

Paris has failed to grow outside of Paris 1-6. There isn't much space to build there, so things got messy. What Paris should have done is create a whole new region (regions?) for young tourists, couples, families, and old tourists. Each region is separate. They can be a bit far but not too far. Tourists traveling around will find their mates instead of stumbling on locals.

Other cities that adapted better to tourists: Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur. All on the top list.
And still it's Facebook :D

Does anybody know of a good hosted solution of JupyterHub? I made a neat notebook that I needed to share with my non-technical team, it was using iPyWidgets to do some interactive modeling, but they each needed to be able to use it independently. It has private data so I couldn't use Binder. I've been following Zepl.com for a long time, but couldn't use them here because Zepplin doesn't support iPyWidgets. Pretty soon I found myself installing helm and trying to follow along a tutorial on how to deploy JupyterHub on a kubernetes cluster. That started to add an unmanageable level of complexity to own, especially to share a simple notebook. And while spinning up a GKE node per user is the whole point of Kubernetes, it got expensive quickly in my test. We cannot spend $75K a year on Domino. Any other options?
Not every performance issue needs lower level optimization. Most performance issues can be solved by (1) optimizing algorithms and (2) abstracting lower level code in FFI C functions. C++ helps for 2 but not for 1 because if you don't have a clear high-level understanding of your algorithm, system, pipeline, it's harder to optimize or maintain that optimized code.
I had the pleasure of seeing Yayoi Kusama’s work at the Tate Modern when I visited London in 2011. Her work really left an impact on me.

We've had a pretty popular kids coding app in the App Store for about 6 years now (Kodable). We've never remotely considered having ads and never will, and from the article it sounds like this heavily skews towards the ad-heavy Google Play store.

From my experience most of the big name kids app developers do not put ads in their apps (almost never on iOS), although I can understand why developers do.

Whether you like it or not, they work. There are two things that are always going to be true about this - kids are going to download lots of free apps (because it is easier than asking parents to pay), and they are going to accidentally tap on ads. The developer doesn't care if the user will actually purchase the product being advertised, all they care about is the click. That's just the way PPC advertising incentivizes developers. The only way around this is strictly limiting advertising for games targeting children. That has to come from the App Store moderators (Google, Apple, etc).
