>"Native CardDAV and CalDAV support (there is caldav, but no discoverability of calendars)."

I use the TbSync and Provider for CalDAV and CardDAV add-ons. So far it works perfectly. But yes, I would prefer built-in native support.
Yes, let me clarify. Variables and parameters in a model, which are then driven by a data set are what configurations give you. E.g. some CAD suites allow a CSV/spreadsheet to drive the configurable parameters. OnShape allows for a table-per-variable, avoiding the need to manage combinatorial explosion in the rows of your config table. Alibre Design simply adds configurations as named entities within a model file. While not driven by external data, it allows complete integration into the editor environment which has upsides for my work. (I don't work with big configuration tables, so this works great for me.)

Some suites also allow configurations to enable/disable parametric features. At the simplest, this lets you add boolean changes to the configuration table, like "has mounting holes?" or "is/isn't a full-thread screw" and so forth.
Let's say that there are no external factors, like changes to China's economy. If this is just Chinese customers being price sensitive, I stick with what I said above.

Me sitting in Toronto saying, "iPhone is too expensive for me, I have a mortgage to pay" is still irrelevant, because Apple is hitting its targets in Canada, the US, and so forth. Maybe it is too expensive for me personally (I'm on an iPhone but it's a 6, not a 6s, not a 7, not an 8, not an X of any kind), but I don't speak for my economic zone.
I taught kids programming in an after school program for 4 years. Scratch was the tool that explained a lot of concepts best (and allowed those students who had trouble, still feel like they achieved something meaningful in the course)

I took a look around and saw some nice improvements to areas where Scratch always seemed crufty! Plus it loaded fine in every browser I tried!

That's a great update and I can't wait to see what the extensions are like
The author outlines a compelling use case at the end of the video definitely worth listening to! VR is limited to the space in your bedroom, so how can you compress an entire level into just one room?
Skylake was a reasonably big core architecture upgrade (a "tock" in Intel terminology). Several new instructions (XSAVE, AVX512, etc.) were introduced. Perhaps you meant Broadwell?
What does the `hours of duration` mean in this context?
No, that's actually not true. Hitting Ultima-Thule is much harder. For starters, just figuring out where U-T actually is is very difficult. The observations we have only constrain two of its three degrees of orbital freedom. The third has to be inferred via orbital mechanics. Likewise, figuring out where the spacecraft is is also non-trivial. By way of contrast, figuring out where you are relative to New York to within a meter of accuracy is, nowadays, a simple matter of switching on your GPS receiver. (Even without GPS, all you need is inertial guidance that is stable for half an hour or so. That's much easier to achieve.)

Finally, there are unpredictable orbital disturbances. N-H uses thrusters for attitude control, whose effect on the trajectory is not entirely predictable. (c.f. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_anomaly, which was only detectable because, although Pioneer had thrusters, they were turned off for long periods of time).

I know these things because I used to work at JPL. There are entire teams dedicated to spacecraft navigation. The stuff they do will blow your mind.
Ah, yeah, true, I guess rich Norway's government has its population's support. Tragically, Merkel's policy of Austerity Uber Alles across the whole of EU has made the EU a hated institution from the left as well as from the right, and my feeling is this is also why the French government is hated by its population.

They played that Appel Status Symbol card for too long. In China, Yuan's depreciation should also be counted, so eventually Apple raised the price for local customer for about 30%, north to 10k in Chinese Yuan. In fact with 4 times that much money you can buy a budget car in China.

People chasing status symbol but they are not fools, and the local brands offer good enough quality with only 40% of the price, you know what to choose.

A small game:

- how much distance you cover in car every day?

- at how much speed?

- with how many energy heavy thing powered on (like AC/clima)?

Try to answer to find if you can afford a sole/primary battery powered today's car. Also check it's price.

After try to look at statistics: how many people actually buy full battery-powered cars in percentage by country? How many are essentially forced to buy hybrid models simply because of marketing choice? How many prefer to buy clean and cheap diesel Euro6+ cars instead gasoline's one?

Try to be honest.

After draw your conclusion and please publish it.

The 68k was also used in Sun Workstations at the time. Motorola's failure to improve on it left a lot of companies in the lurch, some of which never recovered.

Certainly it started out in no worse a place than the 8086, and Intel was able to improve on that for many years. It seemed like after the 68040 Motorola just kind of gave up on developing chips, and then Intel launched the Pentium and ate their lunch.
Gimp is an interesting case study in the assumptions behind free software and the free market.

One would assume that the desired features would have simply been offered as pull requests by the community, or, barring their acceptance, multiple competing forks would emerge filling the market need going unmet by the Gimp developers. Yet somehow there seems to be just as much 'vendor lock in' with FOSS as there is with proprietary software.

Wake-up timer saves power for I.o.T. sensors
A fuse protects against overcurrent. It does nothing against overvoltage, or worse, reverse polarity (which was what fried Benson Leung's device). USB-C has a maximum of 20V, and that's only when negotiated by both devices; many devices will only expect 5V. If an untrusted low-quality power supply fails, it can put the full line voltage (alternating from -110V to 110V or more) into the USB cable. Protecting against that would add a lot of bulk and cost to a device. AC powered devices, on the other hand, already have to deal with the full line voltage (which includes negative voltages) all the time, so there's no extra cost for them.

I enjoyed genji256's comment on the article:

genji256:"Anecdote: I was one of the three reviewers for that paper and I tend to review harshly. A few years after it was published, I started worrying that I had given it a bad score and completely missed a field-changing paper. I frantically dug through my emails and found the review. Turns out I gave it a 7/10 so it wasn't THAT bad, though my summary makes me cringe a bit:
'A paper which, by giving precise details on the various tricks used, is a useful addition to the deep learning literature. I wish comparisons with other techniques were somewhat fairer.' "
Not sure why your downvoted?

It’s well documented from the links above to other articles on the web that Google ATAP and X blatantly steal innovation. From project loon to that city project in which they hired the inventor.. he worked at X then they let him go saying they were canceling the project but that was a lie and more.
Shifting power east / west is another option. Supplying Florida with solar from California can significantly reduce the need for storage. This also allows you to supply morning power in California with solar in Florida.

The interactions are complex enough I think production, transmission, and storage all need to be dealt with separately.

> we believe there are other factors broadly impacting our iPhone performance, including consumers adapting to a world with fewer carrier subsidies, US dollar strength-related price increases, and some customers taking advantage of significantly reduced pricing for iPhone battery replacements

Dropping the SE - the one affordable iPhone - is starting to look like a really bad move for Apple.
Society at the time was dominated by views we would now call white supremacist. That is enough to explain why the unions behaved as you describe.

Since you asked above, I think this might be where the feeling of "bad faith" comes in. You're pushing this point harder than it can support and more harshly than you need to. That creates a feeling in the reader of something being off. That's too bad, because it's a good point. I found the information interesting, but because of this extra torque you're putting on it, one ends up responding more to that "off" feeling than to the informative parts of your comment.
No, I'm arguing that they have to sell a certain number, otherwise face stiff penalties in the U.S. and Europe. Discounting the car and taking a loss is better than paying the fine.

On a positive note, it is a step in the right direction to rev up that part of the company, as they will need the experience for future success when they can no longer rely on ICE sales
We believe there are other factors broadly impacting our iPhone performance, including consumers adapting to a world with fewer carrier subsidies, US dollar strength-related price increases, and some customers taking advantage of significantly reduced pricing for iPhone battery replacements.

Why spend $1,449 on an XS Max when you could have replaced the battery on your phone for $29?
I find it more impressive and awe inspiring that stuff in space is so predictable that we can actually program the fly by such a long time in advance and get such a high degree of accuracy.

Apple knows 5G is about infrastructure, not mobile phones (2018)
I can tell you why I haven't upgraded my iPhone 6S: I like my headphone jack.
It's the energy capacity of the battery divided by the power of the battery; i.e. if you discharge the battery at maximum power, how long does the battery last?
For what it’s worth, I find that the answers to the problems in tAoCP are almost always a good balance between explaining the steps to get to the solution and leaving enough out that the reader still has to work to understand how the proof works. But that’s not applicable to all types of exercices.

Your proposed solution (include solutions for a few problems) is definitely a good approach: enough to help the self-learners along while forcing the students to work—I assume you’ll be assigning the unsolved problems in class :)

"...customers taking advantage of significantly reduced pricing for iPhone battery replacements"

Very interesting that Apple included this as someone who took advantage of a $29 battery replacement for my 6S just last month. The chain of decisions that took place for this to happen should be a lesson for more companies.

I imagine it went something like this:

- Feedback that iPhones were shutting down unexpectedly due to degraded and/or defective batteries.

- Instead of shouldering the battery replacement immediately, the product team decides to change the performance envelope of the phone.

- The root issue is not addressed.

- Betterygate™ inevitably happens.

- Apple heavily subsidizes battery replacements for everyone

- Some people decide that they'll stick with their phone a bit longer than they otherwise would have, reducing iPhone sales.

- Apple misses their earnings target, likely costing them more in value than it would have cost them to address the root issue in the first place.

Of course there are other factors addressed in the letter, but this issue was notable enough to be included.
The quality also comes nowhere close to a Tesla. While it makes a good commuter car, it is strictly not on the same playing field as a model 3, other than price and propulsion method.

> As such, the product should either be designed to work in those environments with reasonable effort and without violating common security practices.

And I'm claiming that the effort required is reasonable, and it's thus not that big of a deal, even if slightly annoying in that it requires effort and doesn't just work. In the few environments I've worked in a sysadmin role, it wouldn't have been a problem to provide a one-off network that doesn't touch the official network if requested by a user, and in one it'd been completely fine if the user just set up an isolated AP as long as it didn't interfere with the official ones (university network)

It is very difficult for a solo developer to make a full-time living from their own open source product.

These are some possible options:

- Open-core (e.g. Gitlab): Some code is closed source but adds extra features not available in the open source core.

- Support/consultancy

- Sponsorship or Patreon (not realistic or sustainable as a long-term solution for the industry as a whole)

- hosting and online accounts for software that runs in the cloud

The problem is: what if you don't want to do any of the above? I bet there are many developers who are put off by all the above.

What if all you want to do is just sell your product for a fee to users, but with the source available? Impossible with open source. (Doing that is a "source available" option but it's no longer an open source solution.)

The uncomfortable truth is that, despite decades of open source software, no-one has figured out how to make money from an open source product if all you simply want to do is just sell your open source app.

If you find a suitable option for your app please let us know and I wish you lots of success :-)
Indeed, probably not many. But one of those that seems like it is doing quite well and is in a similar space is Krita. They have a healthy number of contributors, fund developers, and are making good progress quickly on a powerful application that works very well and has a lot of polish.

Apple's fate in China is very similar to German premium car brands – despite being a definite good sell elsewhere, they have no real alternative to actually double down their stakes and investment into China, if not making it their primary focus.

BMW, Audi (WW premium brand) and Mercedes all committed to gigantic investments into growing their presence here in last hew years, and so now has Apple.

In the past, American companies were some of the most passive players in China. It seems that they finally started to notice that China is a no joke market.

That works. It is also more clear than the pull-down menus, because the letters have a large contrast and are spread through more of the screen (what is a problem from another point of view, but it's a benefit here), so it's harder to get stuck on the keyboard navigation mode without noticing it.

I can take that out from my list of Ribbon problems :)
Three reasons that prevented me from shipping product
It's an interesting social problem in how you manage those project / library / repository boundaries. On the flipside, though, it's been well documented that among many of the major monorepos those boundaries still exist, they just become far more opaque because no one has to track them. You find the weird gatekeepers in the dark that spring out only when you get late in your code review process because you touched "their" file and they got an automated notice from a hidden rules engine in your CI process you didn't even realize existed.

In the polyrepo case those boundaries have to be made explicit (otherwise no one gets anything done) and those owners should be easily visible. You may not like the friction they sometimes bring to the table, but at least it won't be a surprise.
Right, I was thinking off-the-shelf in the sense of giving it a tokenised corpus and it does the rest, or it incorporates that into its existing model. Dictation software, phone keyboards, etc. do this.
Yes please let me spend more on an "inferior product" (without a headphone jack) instead of replacing the battery
