That's a second-order observation. We could use any noun for that if and when it's relevant - I suggest alternadoodley.

Like I said, "fork" already has a useful meaning with regard to an OSS project, so there's no need to overload it. Is the following sentence not confusing? When you fork on GitHub you create a fork but not every fork is a fork.
A new iPhone XR 64GB is £749 ?
C’mon, just because people can live with things doesn’t mean they don’t care about them.
I don't think that is going to happen. FaceId is so good on my X, I forget I have phone locking turned on at all. Now that they have it working in all orientations on the iPad, I assume the next iPhone will also work that way. Supposedly the iPad also unlocks in a wider field of view. Both of those items are the main complaints I see about FaceId.

After using FaceId for over a year, going back to TouchId really does feel like a step backward anytime I have to use it on test devices or my iPad.
I would build on "The Argument From Wooly Definitions" that the typical premise for superintelligence explosion begins from an AI with (1) "human level" intelligence (2) Machine level attributes like hyperfast computation and a large working memory

I would argue that a "human level" intelligence that can think thousands or millions of times faster than a human with a vastly larger working memory (and, sometimes it is argued, can be trivially scaled to work faster / more efficiently given more hardware) is in fact already a super-intelligence.

If you want to argue for intelligence explosion given a "human level" intelligence, I say start with an AI black box wherein if you give a basic algebra problem to an ordinary human at the same time as you give it to the black box, they will think for about 30 seconds and then give an answer that is half likely to be wrong.

If you want to argue from a "human level" intelligence, you need to acknowledge that throwing more hardware doesn't inherently make it smarter. You can throw five ordinary humans in a room and give them a simple algebra problem, it doesn't mean they will solve it five times faster. Likely they will quickly decide amongst themselves who is best and math, and that one person will then give their answer to the algebra problem, which should be slightly more likely to be the correct answer (and possibly a slightly slower response) than if you just tried with one ordinary human.
But dampening happens differently in different parts of the frame. For example, thinner & curved seat stays vs a suspension fork, or round 853 steel tubing vs highly aero-optimized low profile carbon, or deep dish carbon wheels vs traditional aluminum. Your statement is technically accurate, but that doesn't mean the feel of the ride will be equivalent.
Coupled commands with control operators in Bash
There is actually a patch to enable AF_XDP for DPDK: http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2018-August/109792.html

And also a recent talk on how AF_XDP can be optimised further to get closer to DPDK speed (http://vger.kernel.org/lpc-networking2018.html#session-11) where it concludes "DPDK still faster for 'notouch', but AF XDP on par when data is touched". And latter is what matters.

I think combining the two definitely has huge potential:

- All the Linux tooling can be used again as drivers in kernel are used.

- No 100% busy polling needed, it's definitely not a must for workloads.

- Easy setup as simply kernel drivers are used as is.

- Vendors only have to maintain their kernel drivers, but not DPDK ones, so less cost

- Users can simply switch from one NIC to another without any hassle

- DPDK library for application development can be fully reused.

Sounds like a big win to me for both worlds.
Sry to be pedantic, and I do agree with your insight on travelling on Holidays. But I just want to say India is a pretty diverse country, so Holi/Diwali aren't necessarily the major holidays in many parts/sections of the country/population.

Are you certain about this? Because I'm not sure it's true based on my own relatively recent experience test-riding a variety of fairly serious road-cycling frames.
The European Economic Community was founded in 1957, following in the ECSC's footsteps (ECSC was later merged into the EEC).

In 1993, the EEC was renamed to European Community and merged into the EU.

So there's direct lineage back to post-war times, and without the "baby steps" of creating close ties between significant parts of the economies (steel and coal were kind of a big deal back then) of countries that considered each other arch-foes until then (Germany and France in particular), the later initiatives might have failed, like the attempts to form the European Political Community and the European Defence Community did in the 1950s.
One of the few tech purchases I've greatly regretted.

I don't doubt it works as advertised - but if I wanted to play games in my living room I'd use a console. The type of games I play would need mouse and keyboard, so why would I lug those to another room? So yeah, it doesn't solve THIS kind of problem :)
I also live in the Netherlands, and if I restricted myself to only parking in secured parking locations with gated access and cameras, I would only be able to cycle from my office... to my office.

This (obviously) precludes you from cycling anywhere you might want to go (home, the shops, your friends houses, a restaurant, a bar, a cafe).

If you restrict yourself to parking in locations with cameras (e.g. stations), your bike will still probably get stolen, especially if it is expensive (I know people who have had their bikes stolen from station bike parks with cameras). I myself had the front wheel stolen from my bike that was parked between 3 CCTV cameras, next to a busy metro station, next to a shop with a security guard, and across the street from the main police station in the city.

Near everybody who is going to have a smartphone already has one of some sort. That combined with people getting bored with the marginal increase of capabilities has killed hype for unnecessary upgrades.
Just good old "Market Saturation" I'd say. Phones became about as good as people needed them to be in the last 5 years. Everything that's been added recently is just fluff and I'd say most people are just sticking with what they've got, or replacing with an established model where possible.

I can't quite apprehend the kind of confusion required to provoke such questions.

Lock picking is a technical, logical, and interesting hobby you may enjoy. It's a classic hacker (as in Hacker News) skill. Here's a great line from the absolute classic MIT Guide to Lock Picking [0]:

"The big secret of lock picking is that it's easy. Anyone can learn how to pick locks.

The theory of lock picking is the theory of exploiting mechanical defects."

Doesn't seem likely, but expect FaceID to get faster and more reliable. The recent version of TouchID was much better than when it was first introduced.
Maybe it's because I can get a modern Android One phone for $150 that will day-to-day perform right with an iPhone in normal use cases, with a headphone jack, notched IPS screen, IR blaster, FM radio, dual removable sim with SD storage to 256GB, 4000mAh battery that lasts 12 hours screen-on-time, camera that will compete with any modern mid range ~$400 phone, with full metal construction except for where RF needs to escape.

Most people aren't playing PUBG or running CPU intensive tasks on their phones, they're texting, reading the news, watching twitch/youtube, or looking at instagram/facebook/slack/discord.

$1000+ is absolute insanity. $749 for the XR is blatantly ripping you off.
This is good for the average consumer, people should not be buying very expensive devices with programmed obsolence!
We used to just call it a 'branch' because it was just another branch in the distributed revision tree. There is nothing special about a branch you create and commit to, whether it's by clicking on a picture on the screen or typing a command in a terminal.

Calling a branch a fork is just a water-muddying term probably coined by some suit in marketing who saw the buzzword somewhere in an article on the Internet Explorer and thought they would re-purposed to use as a product differentiator.
Actually, the new A12 chips are considerably faster than the A11s. Apple's chips in general are much faster than their Android equivalents:

- Dongles are annoying, 3.5mm is delightfully simple and universally supported across the audio industry. It's not hard to implement and can carry a fairly high quality signal if your DAC is good enough. If you want digital, a normal 3.5mm jack plus cable should be able to carry enough bandwidth and still remain backwards compatible. I would see that as an improvement over simply-analog-3.5.

- The normal end user wouldn't care about the difference in NFC but banks would be thankful for not having to pay Apple for the privilege of having their customer use an iPhone.

- True but people care about not having to care and a universal charging port is good for that. Then people can just plug chargers into things and it works. No thinking required. And less waste too because vendors might not have to package chargers with every device and people won't have to buy new chargers every new iPhone release.
Considering that they can survive the vacuum of space, 1000 times more radiation than other animals, few days at -200C (30 years at -20C), and they can be dehydrated for 10 years, i'd say they'd probably briefly wake up, wonder what the hell is going on, then doze off in a 30+ year hibernation state.

The people in EE do not have a habit of telling their political, religious, etc views to random strangers. It is not only due to lessons by USSR or Comecon, but also during the previous regimes (tzarist Russia, Austro-Hungarian empire, or those unfortunate enough under Ottomans) it was equally dangerous.

And comparing Brussels to Moscow is the nice one. The not-so-nice ones compare Brussels to Mordor ;).
There are no known cultivars of olive that are resistant to X. fastidiosa.

Phylloxera attacks the root, and so grafting with resistant stocks protects the scion.

In the case of X. fastidiosa, the bacteria can spread on the whole adult structures of the plant when infected vectors feed on the xylem, so grafting is not a solution.

In Portugal, Phylloxera became a synonym for madness, since the losses were colossal. I fear that Xylella fastidiosa might become the next "madness"...
Agreed. I have two bikes - the notoriously stiff Specialized Allez Sprint (aluminum), and the Cannondale SuperSix (carbon). The carbon bike has wider wheels that allow me to run ~10psi lower than I do on the aluminum bike.

Anecdotally, I can barely tell the difference between the two and the deck is stacked in favor of the carbon bike. Swap the wheels and I'm sure they would feel exactly the same aside from geometry.
Exactly. You have provided no reason at all to think that repealing KYC laws (which were introduced by the Patriot Act in the 2000s) would transform the US into Italy, which is frankly just silly.

It also flatly contradicts the fact that the US didn’t lose 16% of its GDP to mafia activity before KYC laws were introduced.
How can you be opt-in and be optional at the same time?
I'm guessing next year's refresh will feature a much lower price. I think Apple is finding out the hard way that increasing prices means lower volumes. They might even pull off a mid year price reduction. They've done that before.

Despite not owning one, I believe Apple can easily fix most of their issues by simply reducing the price and growing volumes again. They are about to lose the teenage market. That's mostly a cost problem. For the past few years they've cashed in on their popularity by squeezing the high end of the market. Now that that is running dry, they need to pay attention to their bottom line again or they risk permanently alienating a new generation of users.

My guess is that a 500$ base model that doesn't suck, would be quite popular. Of course their problem is that they have little to differentiate the 1200 $ model from that and that most of their competition is selling quite nice phones at or below that price.

perhaps they can soon apply it to consumer loans as well, claiming the consumer failed to register as a business towards the government?

> My hope is that now other phones have introduced touch sensors under their screens, that Apple will add that back in.

Apple could have been first to support an in-screen fingerprint reader but stopped development when FaceID was greenlit. It's doubtful they would follow others in including a redundant, inferior technology (their perception).
Fair enough, but I still don't agree with your position that 'cheering for fascists' is that extreme an action in the face of legislation that infringes on free speech. Especially since as you've noted, being in favour of freedom of speech already means you need to grant fascists leeway (cheering them on is different, that much we agree on).

Of course cheering on fascists is unlikely to to lead to more freedom of speech, so in that sense I don't think it's a truly worthwhile course of action.
> I always saw the intention of the GDPR as legislation [...] Instead [...] The more rulings we have like this, the better.

How many examples do we need to recognize that legislation like this on the internet, well intended it may be, doesn't solve the problem? Why do we watch an approach continually fail and tell ourselves that we must continue that approach? Insanity and foolishness. One day I hope people can separate what they want and what they can get, but in the meantime, I guess smaller businesses will just continually fret over regional compliance with unnecessary and unbeneficial societal costs. This ruling isn't going to change much except increase internet balkanization against EU. You shouldn't decry the workarounds, you should accept responsibility for them.

(I've talked about it on this board ad nauseam so I won't make a long rant here, but in general there are other approaches or even more practical ones with legislation you can take if government interference in this medium is absolutely required which is debatable. You can't just look at other regulated sectors and magically apply that logic everywhere.)
No. The Register's "clickbait" title is better and more descriptive.

It depends on what you want to accomplish but if you want practical skills such as being able to convince people of your ideas or leaving positive impressions and getting the outcomes you want, I would suggest studying psychology, specifically evolutionary psychology and psychological biases, as well as communication.

Only in an academic setting does anyone care whether or not an argument is valid or sound or even know what those two mean.

Is it possible to have a noscript version of the webapp?
1. I often program in the commandline, or via an SSH connection. Emacs is there, whether I have a GUI running or not.

2. Emacs keyboard shortcuts mean I don't have to use a mouse at all - makes typing and navigating so much quicker.

3. It's one editor for all your files. No matter whether you're working on a markdown, Lisp, Python, Julia, C document or whatever else, Emacs has you covered. And that doesn't just mean syntax highlighting - there's interactive interpreters for many scripting languages available.

The only time I find myself wanting a real IDE is when I'm working on a large Java project: I sometimes go back to Eclipse for that. But thankfully, I haven't had to do much work at all in Java in the last few years.

My iPhone 7s Plus with a LifeProof case is still going strong in nearly mint condition (despite the battery at about 85% capacity). Apple's building phones that last longer.

Also, I can't think of too many new apps I've installed lately or performance issues with my current ones. Hopefully at some point, the market will reward Apple for building reliable phones (I say that knowing about all the repair bulletins they've released these past few months...)
iPhones and the iOS speed focused updates are really showing the longevity of the device. My wife has the 7+ she got when it came out. I got her the battery change out for $30, and the device is great. It got faster with iOS 12. She has no need for a better device. Upgrades now really are incremental, with much of the technology 'good enough'.

I have the X. It works great. Nothing in the XS makes me want to upgrade. I would like the XS Max, but I'll just wait for next year. And next year, my wife will get my X which further extends its usefulness.

Privacy protections undermine that, since it would required individual targeting of ads (unless you could afford to pay for any ads shown to everyone in your demographics).

You could try to form a coalition to do group purchases, but it's a hard thing to start, since the individual benefits would be small until you got a large number of members, whereas an adblocker is free and more effective.

Plus, the ad network could still track you, which is one of the problems people have with ads.
