This is not really true. On both of the computers I built recently, every component was warrantied and in some instances I have even warranty-returned a product of theirs in the past which was one of the reasons why I selected parts from those manufacturers over others.

If you know how to troubleshoot effectively, many issues are not that hard to isolate. There are some that are very time consuming to isolate but those issues tend to be pretty rare (troubleshooting memory etc.).

The nice thing about building a computer is just to be able to configure it exactly to what you want. In some cases some retailers do screwy things and/or send customers the wrong parts although there are some top flight retailers who don't do that and charge a premium for it.

It's not necessarily more price competitive for some things but there are certain key components that retail PC companies tend to cheap out on unnecessarily like the PSU and the motherboard. Cheaping out on the PSU can give the retailer a lot of extra margin but a good PSU is so cheap that it does not make that much of a difference in final price to the user.

If you learn a bit more about things like case airflow or are planning to overclock a lot of things that retail PC sellers do will drive you nuts so once you are at a certain knowledge level it is just better to build your own despite all the many petty aggravations and frustrations that can occur with it. All the annoyances tend to be temporary whereas the benefits last for years.

I think the stakes are so high, and funding so deep, that eventually cache management will reach parity, regardless of the choices made to get there. I'm not an insider to dissect algorithms academically, but if in the worst case one needs to license the competition's patent, that'll happen.

Keep in mind that the cost of non-performancen is irrelevance in the market, and that's a non-option for the likes of Qualcomm, Samsung, etc.

Just because it's being done by different companies it doesn't make it right. It's a shady way to lure customers and mislead them. They manipulate these fees in order to have a lower price displayed on the search results.

Dumb and impatient money buys at the peak of speculative mania, refuses to sell as the trend turns, then capitulates at the bottom for an 80% loss.

Smart and patient money sells into the speculative mania, then takes the other side of the capitulation trade so they can sell again into the next mania.

Then there's Jack Dorsey and the Winkelvosses who are smart and patient, but they don't trade. They accumulate through both highs and lows because they see a transformative opportunity beyond the boom-bust cycle.

one person might think it's bad judgement to be on a podcast that talks about psychedelics, conspiracy, and weed...

another might think it's bad judgement to do business with folks who don't practice sharia law.

This isn't the first time a rep from the company has written a public essay loosely detailing the ways FB will be better and it won't be the last.
That’s my hope too. I hold the same high praise.
This article is not really about art.

My father was a “scrape yourself up from the bottom” guy. He was the hardest working person I’ve ever known, first as a physical laborer, then as an operating systems programmer. Microsoft used his Wang kernel for NT, but he never got on that train. He was deeply skeptical of all institutions of prestige and never attended college. His father was a professor, double math/physics PhD at Berkeley. The hard road for him was a conscious choice, something he had to prove to himself every day. Life eventually beat it out of him, but that’s a different story.

I don’t match up to him, but I have a habit of leaving the professional world to live among laborers and soldiers for the comforts of their ethos. It seems that everybody exists somewhere on the spectrum from ascetic to charlatan: monk, soldier, athlete, laborer, coder, doctor, manager, lawyer, salesman, founder, artist, celebrity, criminal. You may dispute the order, but that’s where I’ve seen the category _medians_ fall. The art example: buy a toilet and sell it for millions, is brazen chicanery; in fact that’s what gives it value, although you might also agree that the network made it possible. Similarly, many startups are technical garbage before they get money-bombed into a foregone conclusion. Network? Charisma? Luck? Outrageous claims that offend technical experts? It’s not that different from the art world.

But is it good advice to network? PG says no. AVC says no. Trust that there are plenty of failed artists trying to network their way into million dollar toilets too. On average, plumbers do better, but nobody’s impressed with a working toilet until they stop going to burning man and divorce the artist.
Then maybe let's try to take an active role against demagogues (and any other possible factors who's effect is taken for granted as damaging) and prevent in this way social destabilization, instead of this scorched-earth tactic in hope we'd leave them without doctrine fuel?

The "title" is by far the least important part. I really only use it for junk mail and annoying airlines.

I went to grad school because I loved science and mystery stories as a little kid, and my mind was absolutely blown when I discovered that you could get paid (a little) to solve scientific mysteries. I like the idea of figuring out the world and making it a better place much more than I like nicer clothes or a fancy car.

I'm not a YouTuber because I use a multimillion dollar MRI machine, which my credit card wouldn't authorize, my landlord won't let me fill a room with monkeys, and I do my best work when I have colleagues to bounce ideas off of, not just comment boxes.

I do grumble about academia a lot, but it mostly comes from wanting to see it live up to its ideals and possibilities. The current structure is bad in so many ways. You, the taxpayer, are paying for many of these students' training. Wouldn't you rather that they thrive? Even if you don't care about them as people, wouldn't you rather see a return on your investment, in the form of discoveries that make your life longer, healthier, and happier, than have them burn out and quit?
> Also, it's unfair to characterize it as a scam if it's printed clearly in the costs.

It isn't, which is why I posted the video showing that.

On the screen you can very clearly see:

Room (1 Night): $180
Taxes & Fees: $32
Total: $221

The resort fee isn't included in any of those. They put it in fine print thats hidden below the Apple Pay button. But they designed the UI to make it so that the Payment button is flush with the bottom of the screen in order to hide the fact that the fine print is even there.

In other words, they're purposely trying to hide the fact that the page is scrollable or that there is more content (the fine print) after the fold, and are trying to lead the buyer to believe that they already have the full pricing information before hitting the Pay button.

If the fine print that included the resort fee was above the Payment button then that would be one thing, but it's purposely designed so that you can't even see that the fine print even exists.

We increase memory usage for faster software development.
Does it make sense to run 128GB of non-ECC? DDRAM is something like 1 bit error per 40 hours per gig [1]. At 128GB, you have 537k of corruption after a week of uptime, assuming you're utilizing it all.

Nowadays, rule-breaking is no longer provocative. It's derivative. We all got the memo: there's no set definition of art, it doesn't need to be skillfully made, it doesn't need to be beautiful, it can be offensive, blah blah blah. It's not clever any more.

I respect Duchamp. He made his point so eloquently that none of the imitators are adding anything to the conversation.
Java is not inherently a memory hog. I used to work for a game developer which will remain unnamed, all their stuff was Java based, and they used 64-128 MB. That included a full 3D engine and textures.
Really miss picasa. I know the world is moving away from tagging your photos with descriptive words, but I still do it.

As with any Picasa related subject: Does anyone have a viable alternative desktop software that allows tagging of photos, some mild editing and allowing photos to be kept in folders that are the albums.
IMO what is needed is a preprocessor with reference semantics that are conformable to the modern notion of modules. I.e. a preprocessor that thinks that a reference is defined when it's defined in a module included by this one, instead of "before this point in a translation unit." This way it's adequate to include a list of defined symbols in a pre-compiled header, and reuse them when including that module to some other module.
Ironically the first time I used HotelTonight was when my Airbnb turned out to be a scam leaving me with nowhere to stay well past midnight. Airbnb's customer service was horrid. It was really difficult to find a phone number -- they clearly don't want you calling them -- and once I did find a number, I was on hold for upwards of 30 minutes until I finally got a person who told me that I would have to wait over an hour more to make sure the host actually abandoned me.
I suspect many companies wouldn't use this as it would make affirmative hiring policies more difficult. For example, recruiters at my company curate lists of names that are majority female, black, or Hispanic (pulled from the census bureau) in order to try and determine which candidates are diverse.

Recruiters at my company aren't explicitly told to hit certain quotas, but they are given larger bonuses for diverse hires and they do have targets for certain percentages of diverse candidate.

Maybe I'm assuming that Bay Area hiring practices are more universal than they really are. Perhaps Bay Area tech companies are under particular pressure to increase the percentage of diverse employees. For instance my company is targeting 33% female tech employees, but most data says women comprise ~20-25% of the tech workforce. Tough to reach those targets without some sort of bias.

For what it's worth I don't think our diversity hiring practices result in any lowered caliber of hires. Most of the affirmative hiring policies only affect resume review and technical phone interviews.
Ive been trying iTerm2 for he past two weeks. So many tweaks to play with. Terminal.app is like home, I shall return. Real soon.
I just don't think this is true.

A very common tradeoff we make is to cache the results of time consuming calculations in memory, or even cache raw data in memory to avoid database calls. Both of these techniques increase memory usage, but improve performance.
The advantage of jumping on the buzzwords is that have you many others with you.

I had to build a SaaS platform for hosting a business webapp, with the particularity that every client had their own separate codebase and database (no multitenancy). It was a simple django-like stateless app in front of Postgres and we had a low availability SLA (99.5%) so I thought it was simple, just deploy each app to one of a pool of servers, with a single Nginx and Postgres instances on each server, then point the client's (sub)domain to it.

In the end, it worked fine, but since I couldn't find anyone doing the same, it meant I had to write a whole bunch of custom tooling for deployment, management, monitoring, backups, etc.

Were I starting now and decided on Kubernetes, the solution would be more complex and less efficient, but it would mean we would have one-click deployment and pretty dashboards and such in a couple of days instead of many weeks. And if we had to bring someone in, they wouldn't have to learn my custom system.

Buzzwords are a kind of poor-man's standards, they provide some sort of common ground among many people.
The pot use was done in the open to distract everyone from focusing on Tesla's Chief Accounting Officer quitting the company after a month on the job.

Anyway, the public pot use on Rogan's podcast is just what's being publicly acknowledged in the media for the moment, there are many rumors of more hard drug use. The Pentagon is probably also focused on Musk needing funding from Chinese banks for the Shanghai Tesla factory they've been teasing every couple of weeks.
While I'm happy to see Facebook doing this, I feel like it's already burnt the goodwill and trust it would have needed for the public to trust it. This isn't something you do retroactively, you're either proactive about security and privacy from the start or you're not.

Contrast this with how Apple became a privacy bulwark. No one asked them to encrypt iMessage and implement Secure Enclave and disable USB communication after 24 hours of screen lock or any of the other myriad security improvements they've made. They did it proactively, and they've been rewarded with perception accordingly.

My prediction: this is going nowhere. Zuckerberg promised a "Clear History" feature almost a year ago, and it's nowhere to be seen [1]. What reason do we have to believe that the company built by a Mark "Dumb Fucks" Zuckerberg [2] which failed to deliver the last round of promised reforms and used PR firms to discredit its opponents [3] has suddenly seen the light and is pivoting to privacy? Get real.

Debatable. It's hard to predict the public. I think they could possibly turn that one into a PR win. Odds would be against them though.

... none of them financial.

I'm not saying that financial incentives are bad, necessarily, but I am saying that being able/forced to buy your way in privileges the most organized scammers, the ones who have a cogent business plan to make money from their chicanery and some seed capital, over programmers who don't have money, have no expectation of making money, and are only motivated by getting their code out there and used.

Debian has a Social Contract. Microsoft has a pricetag. I know which of them Adobe is more comfortable with.
It’s fine 95% of the time. If you are booking an Airbnb same day as check in it’s going to have to be an instant booking, which is a fraction of the Airbnbs available.

If you’re a biz traveler and your flight is delayed or getting in late the comfort of knowing you can enter a hotel that is big, easy to find, and lobby open and attended to 24/7 is much more comforting than anything you can book on Airbnb. It’s hard to argue with.
I'm wondering/guessing if this was something they had been trying to get "under review" for awhile now, and him smoking Pot with Joe Rogan was finally their way in with a "real" reason to try to jam him up. Even though for all practical purposes this is completely dumb, and shouldn't warrant any review at all. It's 2019, pot should not be an issue anymore, but sadly it still is for some. If only we had bigger fish to fry.
At that point it becomes a meme. Are memes art?

I mean, it is a one-liner, but only if you know what to do with that line -- linking to a URL in a message or putting a URL in the URL bar is the most complex one-liner you can reasonably require non-tech types to do, in my experience.

Technology that aims to serve that audience should be reasonably usable for that audience.
I'm still using one I built in 2009. CPU, motherboard, and PSU are really the only original components anymore, so maybe it's not a great comparison, but it's still a great machine that can do heavier lifting than my maxed out Surface Book. There are some bottlenecks that's going to force me to rebuild soon though. I love how we can now get a decade from one build with minor upgrades every few years.
Just off the top of my head, there is doubt whether cannabis is actually physically addictive.

Ethanol withdrawal, on the other hand, can kill you.

There is no measurable LD50 (lethal dose for 50% of subjects) for THC.

Right, that is what is cool about Elon. He could probably get away with it. Still, it would not be a conservative move on his part.
Some words are prettier than others. All of the words in the first list are quite long and fantastical, whereas the latter are fairly common assonant word pairs. It's natural that the first then are more evocative and have nicer associations.

That's a good way to put it. The novel series manages to have 1) brilliant and highly imaginative set-piece sci-fi events 2) ruminations on the possibly dark nature of humanity in space 3) amateurish characters - save two or three 4) universal-scale scope 5) awareness of just 6 countries in the world : all at the same time.
They should but assuming it will "just work" is foolish.

They do, but I think there's some potential demand for it.

For instance, I want to be able to host my own files without having to make some sort of deal with my ISP. Although I've never had a problem serving requests directly from my computer, it's usually against the rules of ISPs. With a regular internet connection, I should be able to more easily store files on my own hardware and be able to share them with people as easily as I could with Instagram. Maybe there could even be an always-on hardware device that integrates in an open way with third parties that can serve those files, but ultimately those files live on that hardware and can be designated their own domains for URL resolution. Peer-to-peer and Cloudflare support could come with it out-of-the-box to mitigate load issues.

Meh, maybe nobody wants anything like that. I still like the idea.
Or just show domain. I think that notepad-plus-plus.org is good enough as an identifier.

> You can use mimikatz to override the checks that the private key is isolated, you can even override 'no export' flag.

"No export" flag is not the same. What I'm talking about is keys stored in hardware modules (TPM, Yubikey) so that the private key is never disclosed, you can only ask the hardware to perform actions using that key.

See for example Yubikey docs: https://developers.yubico.com/PIV/Introduction/PIV_attestati...

> There are many out there, maybe you could get a false timestamp out of them.

Maybe? That's how CA model works, they are trusted third parties. Code signing CAs are required to operate timestamping services so it getting a cert from them is not a security issue, timestamping should also be fine.

PGP on the other hand if used in a Web of Trust model makes every valid key a CA. Not to mention that PGP doesn't have extended key usage flags so signing software is the same as signing e-mail (you cannot specify that you want to have this key be used for code signing exclusively).
