I don't use Gmail, but Google Maps seems to be getting slower and slower all the time for me on some of my older boxes.

I imagine that it's just the classic case of developers having good machines, and the market share factor meaning they just don't really have to care.

I develop on a 12 core processor. If I make something user facing, I have to go out of my way to ensure that it's performant on other hardware; it's not part of the standard build/tweak loop.
They have invested so many billions in their pipeline and committed so much head space that it's incredibly difficult to change their tech stack to improve performance. Users suffer because of poor performance but at least management can brag about compliance, code reuse, being able to quickly push out production code, etc.

> If they weren't being denied care for whatever reasons, then there wouldn't be a reason to bus them out to other cities, now would there?

Well, one reason from TFA is so they can go back to where they have a friends/family support network. People actually do this on their own, parents get their kid a ticket on the Greyhound so they don't end up on/get off the streets. Happens a lot.

Given a choice between staying homeless where you happen to be or going somewhere where you have a fighting chance people seem to be going with the latter.

> They were given bus tickets and advised to seek health care elsewhere and were sued because of this program.

One alleged abusive program and this means they all share the same motivation?

Prisons do the exact same thing BTW.
I don't think this kind of reference to a self-published author (Dan Gibson) should be posted without a reference to some of the criticism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Gibson_(author)#Reception_...

I think it's fair to say his view is not shared by many scholars.
What this bill might help (or at least give law enforcement additional tools to prosecute with) is preventing situations like the Cambridge Analytica situation, where corporations with nefarious motives gather user profile information from social media in questionable ways, and use these tools to try to manipulate in areas outside of mere marketing.

In other words, while I'm not sure if this will improve discourse, at least it mitigates a little bit of the questionable social media meddling that we've seen of late.

I kind of see jimmaswell's point that there is a risk of creating a "tiered Internet". But I'm not sure it's completely an either/or situation. It sounds like that the bill also emphasizes more transparency on what is being done with the data and who it is sold to. As long as personal data is not shared haphazardly and in a leaky fashion, consumers might be just fine with the bargain they get.

Things like shopper loyalty programs already offer this sort of bargain: in exchange for allowing companies access to more granular shopper information, the shopper gets access to greater discounts. Loyalty programs currently are subject to various consumer protection rules. In contrast, the bargain social media has struck with users (free service in exchange for marketing data) is not well protected.

Personally, I'm fine with a little more transparency and disclosure in this fashion. I don't think this necessarily means the end of free social media per se. (I will say though that this is a sign, one of many, that the days of social media "moving fast and breaking things" is over.)
Thanks, I turned off that and a bunch of the frothy features in the options, and it sped up enormously.
so this means I cant use my mic when my computer is closed and hooked up to an external monitor?
- Ecosystem would be based around a task management 'backbone' - the OS would be Activity based, instead of function (app) centric. I.e. apps would be required to 'plug in' to the backbone, and UI would be centered around the current event being undertaken rather than an unlinked view-per-function (app UIs would be secondary interfaces, not primary). Microsoft Sets would have started to get us thinking along these lines.

- Browser tabs and apps need to be synonymous. Google pulled 'merged tabs and apps' from Chrome on Android a couple of years ago. This was arguably a significant step backward in UX.

- Crowd-sourced Peer review / code review system for apps. This community would have to be carefully curated in order to prevent a 'trigger happy / aggressive' team culture (such as Stack Exchange suffers from)

- Privacy-first: Privacy and data handled to allow for HIPAA/GDPR/ISO:27001 considerations right from the get-go (apps to use a shared annex system for data & data exchange that must be complied with). Blackberry corporate user based absorbed.

- iOS strictness of 'screen real estate zoning' system to reserve critical areas, homogenize menu bar UI etc.

- Docking / shared screens / OS merging has been poorly attempted in the last 10 years. Desktops should just be dumb monitors with docking pads by now. Screen real estate zoning would be catered for at different levels from 0.Xcm - Sports stadium boards.

- Modular OS: More compartmentalisation and fragmentation right from the offset. The setup of the OS should allow access to toggling of all modules and their variables. A user could deploy a full featured OS, or a dumb 'issue reporting screen' where they limit functionality & modules to just a single source of traffic through a port, basic OS functionality and graphical text representation. This would allow for more use cases being appropriately covered by the OS. Essentially, the modularity of the 80s/90s PC market and the user-friendliness of the iPad could have come together by now. PC components shouldn't have exposed pins etc. by now.

- Ideally, there would be a hardware team working closely, with similar culture. Project Ara would have been appropriate for a corporate culture... and if scope had been wider (swallowing the thin client market, amongst other areas). MSPs / IT departments would have thrived on modular computing - Efficiency of plug & play, cost savings of reusability and smaller module scope, speed of deployment to end users, security of not having unnecessary components active.

- Canary-ridden & transparent documentation, code and licenses. Use OS market share power to drive inter-OS adoption of encrypted, secure, open source protocols. Government or third party intervention has loud triggers attached to it.
Has anyone pointed out how flawed that first argument is?

If you're going to argue that Google can solve the problem of "what time is it over there" in our current system, then Google can solve the problem of "what times are office hours over there" too.

> The city that they reside in is effectively denying them care. The tickets are an excuse to push them out of the city so that they don't actually have to give them proper care. If they weren't being denied care for whatever reasons, then there wouldn't be a reason to bus them out to other cities, now would there?

What? How is giving them a free ticket pushing them anywhere? They're not being forced to take it.

> This is EXACTLY what happened when Nevada gave discharged patients from a mental health hospital one-way bus tickets out of town. They were given bus tickets and advised to seek health care elsewhere and were sued because of this program. So let's not ignore the fact that this actually occurs.

It is not even close to that. That was people being put onto these buses after being kicked out of hospitals. These are people who have already been living homelessly in the city, and the city saying "here, IF YOU WANT THIS, you can have a free ticket wherever you need to go".

This is a strict expansion of their autonomy, to paint it any other way is ludicrous.
How, exactly..?
There are lots of factors that make it different. The most all-or-nothing version of it would be to realize biologic material will burn up if you're right next to the sun, and you won't be impact by the sun "at all" if you're in a lead container that's thick enough (a faraday cage blocking EMFs).

Telling people to upgrade their hardware for an email application shouldn’t be a thing.
Yes. I was complaining into the air on twitter, and their support responded by asking me to clear the cache and cookie.

I told them: no man, it's not cache and cookies. You're loading too much stuff on initialization. It takes about 45 seconds for page load, and it's not until 1m37s that I can compose an email. You're making about 285 requests (19MB) before I can compose. That's the size of a long pop song on iTunes!

I've now bookmarked the old "html gmail" just so I can compose emails in a jiffy. I think they assume I leave a browser tab open for email. Not when it's so heavy weight.

> No youre managing a team of software engineers, one skill they have is writing. ... The product isnt the text. The product is the entire system designed to keep the text alive, functional, reasonably error free all in a relatively unpredictable environment.

So, are writers just people that produce text? I think of them as people that produce systems that are explained and interacted with through text. The product of an author isn't text, it's a a story. The product of a technical writer isn't text, it's distilled knowledge. Text is the medium. I see a lot of parallels with software development.

You seem to be suggesting that because Google has done an excellent job with security, they should get a free pass on privacy. I don't quite get the connection.

And from an engineering standpoint, comparing search results quality to browser-based privacy features is a tad absurd. At a basic level at least, the latter is a solved problem (as evidenced by the fact there are dozens of modestly-effective browser plugins made by hobbyist developers).
> Why the obfuscatory marketingspeak?

Seems like an unnecessarily hostile response.

It is a re-imagining because it has very little in common with the Windows ProcDump aside from doing a very similar task and name. For example it is a brand new implementation and many of the args have changed (M/m Vs. m/ml, or p for pid Vs. p for performance counter on Windows, etc).

If they called it a "Linux version of the Windows Utility" people would be complaining about that instead ("but the args aren't the same!"). So instead they call it a re-imagining and get attacks like this, it is a no-win situation.

I've installed more than my fair share of Windows 10 Home and Pro versions, had both shipped on new devices and nowhere was I offered any options which controlled installing this shit.

> a problem that doesn't necessarily exist in the way that people might think

Even if it was a shortcut to the Windows Store, but it still there eating up space on the start screen... But even still it doesn't help.

I have to go uninstall it (because yes, it's actually installed goddamn Candy Crush and other shit for me)

I'll open up my laptop and find it's decided that it'll install Windows Update right now and fuck whatever I wanted to do with the machine.

Worse, once it's completed it's screwing with my machine, it's gone and re-installed shit, and now bugs me (again) about "Hey, instead of using Chrome, how about you use Edge!" and has reset a bunch of other system options to be the way MS wants them.

I'm hardly alone in this experience - I saw at least half a dozen presenters at NDC Oslo last year bitching about this happening to them the morning of/right before presentations, and I've had it happen to me during meetings/conference calls/etc - where it's fucked off with work that I'm in the middle of.

Windows 10 is why I'm on a full-on effort to move my primary machines over to Linux after decades of Windows use.

> Can someone explain to me why. You need a block chain for this?

We have been using analogues of the system described for literally centuries. A titles office is very like a block chain. Rather than currency being transferred between people, it's titles to land or buildings. Individuals do transactions by creating a transfer and giving it to the titles office to be blessed. The transfer is worth nothing until the titles office puts it's stamp on it. The titles office function is to create an immutable, consistent chain of ownership.

The formal name for the software equivalent is a "permissioned block chain". There is nothing particularly special about it - if you gave the problem to a bunch of 4th Uni Students, this is what you would expect to come back. The term "block chain" looks to be a marketing grab to me. I don't think it really applies - the only thing they have in common with crypto currencies is they record a chain of ownership. Crypto currencies have blocks so they can spread the high cost of proof or work over many transactions but there is no expensive proof of work in permissioned block chains, so they don't need blocks either.

All that aside, given we have been using these manual systems for centuries I don't think there is much doubt automating them with electronic equivalents would be result in something that is both faster and less costly. But whether it's a good idea for logistics chains is debatable. One thing the titles office and crypto currencies necessarily have in common is there there isn't a lot of "new stuff" entering the system - they are tracking existing stuff (the titles or currency), which they can easily verify by just checking the person authorising the transaction is the person recorded as the current owner by the chain. When new stuff does enter the system it is very tightly controlled. Crypto currency does it via mining. Titles are usually created by acts of parliament releasing land.

In these logistics systems new stuff is continually entering the system, and some separate external system has to vouch it is in fact a tray of A grade fruit or whatever. But I sure whoever is fogging their existing permissioned block chain implementation is telling every customer with a vaguely similar system it is a near perfect fit.

This does not strike me as a great idea.
> There's no guarantee of ordering between stdout/stderr

There absolutely is. If the two file descriptors refer to the same open file description or the same pipe/socket/character device, then the ordering of write syscalls is preserved--and that is the default for terminals.
This is interesting. Imagine that we have a series of multi-view wire structure (i.e., adding a time dimension), then we probably can project three different animations.
Expecting people to revert to a 25 year old text version, and repeatedly demanding users to upgrade their Chrome version from a 6 month old one shouldn't be necessary either.
On-prem deployments giving you a hard time?
Having lived in Alabama as a Catholic yankee I was met with at best extreme ignorance about my then beliefs and at worst outright harassment and discrimination for having the wrong accent and wrong Christian denomination. Within the first week of moving there, we had a Klan rally in town.

Most of the other local Catholic families, if they could afford it, moved their children to private school to escape.

The schools had corporal punishment, and demanded that we call our teachers sir or ma'am, a custom that I was not used to and have encountered nowhere else. Failing to do so landed me in detention within the first month or so.

I was there for the original Roy Moore saga.

This was 15+ years ago and in a rural community with dirt roads, so I'm sure things have changed a bit and do not apply to the whole state, but checking the school website corporal punishment is still alive and well and Alabama nearly elected Roy Moore yet again.

I would never live there so long as the current toxic blend of religion and politics dominates the Southern political scene.

Thanks for sharing. Yes, what we found is that multiple input images often are not consistent with each other (i.e., no physical volume that can satisfy the constraints from all the views). We thus start with a set of consistent voxels and connect them so that the projections are as similar to the inputs as possible.
> Although Linux has only a tiny fraction of the market

It has a significantly larger install-base than Windows. Which market are you referring to? My DVR runs Linux, my TV runs Linux, my phone runs Linux, heck even my car's infotainment unit runs Linux. Windows is only on PCs and Laptops these days.

> They are competitors. MS does not try to help Linux out of the goodness of it's heart.

Microsoft no longer views Linux as a competitor but an opportunity. They're making plenty of money off of Linux's back via Azure and SQL Server licensing.

Microsoft views its future as largely in digital services. The advantage to that for them is that it isn't tied to the Windows platform, so they continue to profit when people have a mobile device or a Chromebook.

> We are not optimizing the organization for efficiency, we are optimizing for autonomy.

Efficiency is for production pipelines where the product is thoroughly defined and production costs eat deeply into profit margin. Most software organizations have massive margins - but only if they get to the right product. Organizing people for ownership and autonomy engages their creativity, but also ensures that the org can move forward even when one side or the other falls behind.
