I'm using Vivado right now. Things I hate about it:

- It's sluggish. The underlying algorithms may be fast (they handle huge designs), but even with an empty design it's sluggish. I'm not sure if this is from the Java or the TCL. On the other handle Altera/Intel Quartus is faster.. (it also uses Java and TCL..)

- I hate TCL. This whole concept of an integrated extension language in a massive tool is terrible. It's the standard way in the EDA world, but it's not good at all. I prefer simpler tools tied together with Makefiles..

- I hate the schematic-like block designs. I just want a single Verilog file that represents the design, no XML. The block designs are difficult to integrate with git.

- I hate projects. They are difficult to integrate with git: you have to export project tcl, then regenerate the project from this checked in file. It's aweful and breaks when the design gets complicated.

- I'm using Zynq Ultrascale+ and I hate eclipse. The EDK is eclipse-based. I just want a command line tool to generate a project from the hardware description so that I never have to open the Eclipse. True, once your hardware is stabilized, you can avoid it (it does generate a Makefile). I've not tried Altera's SoCs, so not sure if better.

That being said, Xilinx did a good job with the BSP software and the Linux support. At least it's better than what we see on some embedded processors (Nvidia, ugh..)

Also I recently ported a design from Zynq (32-bit) to Zynq Ultrascale+ (64-bit). Not bad at all.
As a long-time desktop Linux user, I don't quite agree with this. The default for me long before iOS existed was to install software from my distribution's repository. Sideloading software not included in the repository was often a technically onerous process, to be repeated manually in case of updates. I had pity for users of Mac OS and Windows who had no access to such convenience.

I don't think having a managed system for installing software is a bad thing at all, though I'm disappointed the big ones don't support third-party repositories. I do think there should always be an option to do it manually.
Neither Xbox One nor Playstation 4 were sold at subsidized prices even at launch. That trend died with the 7th generation consoles.

Why Progressive Web Apps Are the Future of Mobile Web
I need a list of companies that use Ikea desks. Every place I've worked at has those awful laminate desks with the metal back and beige metal filing cabinets. I hate them so much. They give me wrist, back, and neck discomfort, there's no room underneath for your feet, they don't feel good to use, they look depressing, and no matter what I do say or what value I bring in, I can't get a replacement since "no one else complains". If a place said I had to build an Ikea desk or even bring my own, I'd consider that a huge huge perk.
Pirating is possible, but IMO takes a bit of work.

Out of curiosity I looked to see if there were any bootlegged Beauty and the Beast (original) available for my kids to watch. Couldn't find anything that (1) worked and (2) worked with Chromecast.
The slab allocator is for sub-page-size kernel objects. User space programs allocate entire virtual memory pages and use a different user-level allocator you allocate sub-page-size objects.
It's stated in the article but it's not really accurate.

Zürich is thousands of years old. It was never particularly drivable. There a very brief period of time where they tried to make driving easier, then gave up. It was always a high density city that was fundamentally walkable. During the brief period of auto-friendliness, there was also a tram system that remained operational.

Most American cities have no such density. You could magically make all the streets narrow, rip out all the interstates and install a tram system in, say, Omaha, and you wouldn't have a functional city. You'd just have ~500,000 people who couldn't get around.

You stopped too early - there’s another dozen or so frameworks after that.
doesn’t a federal jobs guarantee just mean that if you can’t find a job, there’s at least somewhere you can go to get one, regardless of the state of the economy?

this is just my interpretation but, i’m not sure that would kill capitalism as much as mean that employees wouldn’t be scared as much from being fired, would be less afraid to be entrepreneurial (worst case in failure, you have a job until you can try again or find a better job in the private sector) etc...

same goes for medicare for all and tuition free college... i don’t see the authoritarian part (as your previous post alludes to) but maybe i’m missing something.

> Bitfinex's volume is legitimate, though.

Citation needed. Bitfinex is one of the shadiest entities anywhere on earth. Why would you believe them?

> Tether is an open question, but tether is also tradable at a market rate. The market believes tether is worth $1. If you disagree, you can short it, and if you actually believed tether was illegitimate, you'd do that.

I would do that if the market wasn’t manipulated. It’s a suckers game to take any position in a manipulated market. Exchanges actively move the price up to liquidate shorts then spike it down to liquidate long. To play a rigged game at all is a suckers bet; it’s like trying to play a shell game because you’re confident you can see where they put the ball. That’s not why you’ll lose.

> Better than Venezuelan Bolivars by a long shot.

A single transaction fee for BTC is a weeks wages in Venezuela. It does not solve that problem or any other problem. Trust me if a Venezuelan were given the choice between moving a sliver of currency for a weeks wages or 600kWh of productive energy they’d very much pick the latter like any sane human.
Video review (at least in the NFL) has a good answer for this. Clear and convincing. Anything that's borderline will stay with the ruling on the field. Only those situations where the live call missed something are overturned.

Last night's Rams/Seahawks game had a perfect example of this. A late-game pass from Jared Goff was tipped by the intended receiver and hit the ground behind him. The Seahawks' safety picked it up right away but the play was whistled dead (incomplete pass).

Except that's not what happened. To the refs on the field and to us at home, it looked like the ball hit ground. But a slow motion video replay showed that the safety never allowed the ball to touch the turf. He intercepted it.

This was a huge turn of events, and probably changed the outcome of the game. It wasn't borderline or vague. It was just too fast and the distances (between ball and grass) were too small to rely on a real-time judging of the result.
I read halfway through and couldn't tell if the subsidies were thinks like tax breaks that _every_ company gets, vs tax breaks that they get _specifically for being fossil fuels_. I consider this distinction to be important, so I stopped reading.

Why do brands like Coca-Cola need to spend billions on advertising? (2014)
I mean, there was pro-net-neutrality spam, millions of comments worth. It's part of what Pai cited to justify the claim that this wasn't a one-sided problem.

Except... the pro-NN spam mostly came in two batches, which could each have been done by a single person. One batch used FakeEmailGenerator, along with what seem to be identities made by pulling randomly from lists of first names, last names, and streets. The second batch exclusively used "@pornhub.com" as the email domain. Both were discounted from every serious attempt at counting responses on each side.

It's the worst of both worlds, really. There was enough pro-NN spam numerically to claim the anti-NN astroturfing wasn't any worse, but it represented a tiny number of bad actors. Meanwhile, the anti-NN spam was vastly more malicious in both the influence of the perpetrators and the extremity of the behavior used to hide it. Randomly generating a fake name isn't a misdeed on par with identity theft, but it was certainly treated that way.

The movement towards streaming exclusively is probably intended to eliminate ambiguity and traceability from the pirated sources. I wouldn't be surprised if PII is/will be encoded into the content. Once media ownership has been phased out, content owners will start going after infringers.

Go a block or so inland and it gets starkly worse, especially as you get closer to Market. You ain't having fun in San Francisco until you make eye contact with a guy "dropping a bomb" in broad daylight at Sue Bierman Park, or have your car broken into near Levi Plaza because someone wants to try to steal your jumper cables (and fail, in my case, as evidenced by them hanging out of my now-significantly-more-aerodynamic quarterpanel window).

It adds up when people start having to choose among Netflix, Disney, Hulu, HBO, Apple, Amazon, etc. When it was just Netflix agreed it's not a lot, but the big threat of the existence of these competing services is that it forces people to budget.
I'd argue yes, malnourishment is a problem in the US primarily due to sugar subsidies. Remember that malnourishment != starvation.

It can be eating heavily processed foods with extra sugar (in 1 of the 56 different approved names for sugar by the FDA). Or it can be from soda in myriad forms. Or packed and hidden in the aisles of a grocery store of, again, high prpocessed and low nutrient foods.

Or they're in a food desert in the extreme rural areas or the big cities.

And I'd definitely classify obesity as a type of malnourishment. Mal- just means bad.
Unless they have actual proof I'm going to have to side with the supposed cheater, until it's actually proven he cheated.
They were also very effectively replaced with expanded rapid transit, regional rail, and buses, all of which carry many more passenger than trams ever did.
Driving in Mountain View just isn't that representative of a lot of the US, much less of the world. You'll never have training data that covers every scenario as we're constantly creating new ones -- from spray painted temporary signage to unclear directions from police officers to random obstacles that force breaking rules to navigate around. 20 years sounds pretty optimistic to me.

>Mandating sideloading would remove consumer choice.

How exactly are you affected by an optional thing that is off by default and hidden away. Apple could force you to watch some videos that explain why this is dangerous and make you read all the warnings.

Some smart developers and designers could design this so grandma is not tricked to install malware, you could even require you take a quiz online.

You also have the Mac OS example, it is not locked down and the viruses and malware are not rampant.

Honest question , can you take 1 minute and consider thins, is there a large monetary incentive for Apple to lock down iOS?

There are plenty of other pros who have played on Stones Live, who Postle has repeatedly gotten the better of.

Yea, it's hard to prove things generally, but I don't really feel like the standard of "proof" matters here. I'm 99.99999...% sure the guy is cheating. I'm not saying put him in jail because of it, but definitely raise the alarm and don't play with him. Would you play with him on the Stone RFID table?
The article addresses that consideration as well:

> But here’s an objection: You might think these problems can be avoided if video review is used only to correct “clear and obvious” errors. This is the supposed standard for use of VAR in soccer. Things aren’t so simple, though, because there aren’t just borderline cases. There are borderline borderline cases. That is, it can be vague when the borderline cases start. It isn’t just that there is unclarity, but that there is unclarity about when the unclarity even begins.
They are or they aren't, they don't become sociopaths in certain situations. My take is people accustomed to wealth from birth just don't understand how hard it can be.

I used to work with a guy who was very well off. I was not. I suggested something for a fee, he immediately tried to bargain with me. It was little money and I needed it; it was nothing to him. To him it was a game. He was no sociopath, he just didn't understand hardship. I saw him do that quite a bit. I'm sure if he ever felt a hard pinch himself he'd realise it wasn't a game, be much more sympathetic, but... that wasn't going to happen. Genuinely nice guy too.
Wing Chun is also taught and used around the world in police academy & military camps. But that is not to say it is better than Muray Thai, and I don't see Muray Thai being used for this purpose.

>Growing up watching a lot of Kung-fu/Wushu movies from Hong Kong

The problem with Kung-fu/Wushu itself, it is for one people over idolise it, second being it completely lost most of its root in Mainland China during the 2nd World War and later CCP forbid the use of it. ( At one point they over emphasise science / Guns / technology and calling Wushu as old fashioned and not up with time during the Cultural Revolution, of course in reality CCP doesn't want to arm people with fighting skills ) Most of the Grand Masters ran for life and arrived to Hong Kong during that time, that quickly spread out as a culture and hence why later you see many Kung Fu movies from Hong Kong.

No Replay: People get salty because of subjectivity of person.

Replay: People get salty because of subjectivity of technology/rules.

Result: Some people will always be salty.

Why: There is an underlying subjectivity in nature. Nature itself is probabilistic. There should be general agreement on rules of competition with the intention to minimize the degree of contention. The creation/modification of rules to have a higher/lower degree of precision should be measured by the degree of utility they provide in minimizing that contention, as well as degree of attractiveness to convince people to agree to compete with them.

That being said, I'd be more concerned about head injuries than I would be about Replay review for the NFL.
yes, but the difference is how high that wall is on the garden. Using an ubuntu/debian type apt based system as an example, it's quite easy and fast to 'trust' a GPG signing key for a new repository and add it if needed.

1000x in a row is 1.046e+298 times harder (that's nearly Googol ^ 3) than 10x in a row.

That is: if you expect to see 10x in a row happen in 1.5 hours, you can expect to see 1000x in a row happen in 1,569,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000... (295 total zeros) hours.

Heat-death of universe will happen in roughly 10^100 years from now (one googol). So over the lifetime of roughly googol-squared universes, if you do nothing but flip coins... you'll see 1000x in row.

Encryption is only ~128-bits to maybe 256-bits worth of protection. If you can "guess" heads / tails on a fair coin 128 times in a row, you can "guess" people's encryption keys.

It sounds like it sticks kernel objects if the same type in one big pool, whereas they used to have per container pools. That'd lead to better utilization and probably better caching behavior too although that's not explicitly stated.

It is possibly the fondest memory I have of college life. Years wandering through stacks, finding things I never would have seen otherwise, some of which I hold on to still.
In college, IRC chat rooms with bots serving books from an FTP server were a life saver. I don't think I bought 5 books throughout my entire college career.

Me and my buddies also built a textbook scanner that saved us a ton of money. ( webcam x2 + buttons + easy page turning mechanism )

I always thought the price of college textbooks were ridiculous and put unfair pressure on a broke college kid like me.
I don't understand this reasoning where, if X is not ok, X must be the only thing moderators care about.

This smacks of the same kind of arrogant obliviousness that is insidious at Facebook and Twitter. Do you really think misinformation is not a problem there either?

> In other words, don't have a scheme, forget about f(t), and just pick a number. Any number you pick is, ipso facto, from any number of distributions that are nonzero everywhere (and, likewise, from any number that are not), regardless of whether or not you have any of them in mind.

I'm not sure I agree or understand.

While it's trivially true that all numbers out there are part of some f(t) that is nonzero everywhere, that knowledge isn't helping me.

As an example, if I always pick the same number, then the scheme doesn't work. Perhaps where we disagree is:

> Player A does not know what your scheme is

The beauty of the solution is that you can tell Player A your scheme and still guarantee > 50%. My solution doesn't preclude A from knowing your scheme. So definitely picking the same splitting point over and over will not work.

I take it you probably meant "pick a number, but change the number". Yes, but how? As someone pointed out, using a random number generator on any given machine will not work as player A can always pick two numbers that are close enough to each other that there is no number on the machine in between them.

My concern is that this problem will end up being similar to the well ordering principle, where it's been proven that you can come up with a well ordering on the reals, but it's also been proven that you can never show it to me.

>and I think it's true to say that the only reason f(t) is mentioned at all is that if you do instead choose from a distribution from which some ranges of numbers are excluded, then the puzzle-poser can no longer say that your odds are strictly greater than 50-50

This isn't a minor point. It's trivial to come up with a 50% scheme. This is an interesting solution in that it guarantees > 50% no matter what Player A does.
