I use a rMBP 2015 with two monitors (in addition to the laptop monitor) daily. One over HDMI and the second via Thunderbolt/DisplayPort to HDMI (so two cables into the rMBP).

I’ve never had this issue? What is your setup? I always thought it was funny that in a Mac you can’t set your default monitor, but I’ve never run into the issue you are describing.

CO2 is also the best substance to inject into oil fields for enhanced oil recovery. It becomes supercritical at the pressures involved in the oil bearing formations and is more effective at sweeping recoverable petroleum than water or steam. The problem is sourcing enough CO2 near a field.

That’s not how it works. Programming proficiency isn’t randomly distributed across the population.
But when we attempt them we should discard the assumption that people and therefore labor behaves like a fluid. In scales of hundreds of years it does but in scales of decades it behaves like Legos or the ice stuck at the bottom of your glass. All kinds of motivations affect people's stickiness to a place, a lifestyle or a career. It's hard to know what will dislodges them or how far you can tip the glass before they all rush forward at the same time and smack you in the face.

here's the thing, are you saying that number 3 (aka research), is not necessary? because i think reading and knowing the domain you want to deal with is extremely important, and really before anything, number 3 should tell you whether this is a worthwhile pursuit or not
I agree. There's no reason we can't have this, we've had tools like Delphi and VB for a long time now. Why can't I just choose widgets from a palette and make my own Outlook interface?

Maybe it could even be taken a step further and turn it into a UNIX pipeline composition equivalent in GUI form. Trying to imagine what a system could look like, I see a kind of tiling window manager in which you can place arbitrary widgets (list views, sliders, text entry, etc) and hook together their inputs and outputs, maybe with a little scripting glue.

I don't think the good people of Miramichi are to blame for this. It's the people in Ottawa who wrote a blank check to Oracle/IBM for attempting to migrate a large part of the government software infrastructure to their incompatible system. Somehow, the contract was that billions would be disbursed to IBM/Oracle whether their system worked or not (it didn't).

Also I don't think Oracle should be allowed to hide behind the Phoenix name. This was Oracle PeopleSoft. Why would you pay billions for a piece of software when the maker isn't even willing to put it's name on it?
Hi! Thanks for your questions.

We have many users who use it in public or semi-public places. You are only interacting with your Focusmate at the start and end, and that for just 30 seconds or so to say hello and share what you're committing to work on. As compared to people having a loud conversation in a cafe, this is very, very minimal. We also have users who are in libraries or other quiet spaces, and they usually indicate that on their profiles and by logging in early and sending a chat to their partner.

As far as the "unusual nature" -- a few things. One, consider that it takes a fair bit of effort to set up and attend a Focusmate session. That screens out 99% of privacy concerns because people are truly motivated to be there to get work done. The fact that users have a profile and track record also mitigates this issue. Sure, we have new users joining, but once someone has 5-10 sessions under their belt, the community has had a chance to vet them. As far as new users with malicious intentions, that's certainly possible, and we have blocking and reporting functionality to stay on top of those issues. Last thing I'll add is that there isn't much someone can "do" to you over videoconference. If you were to feel uncomfortable, you can just close the tab.

To the extent they work at all, lie detectors only do so if the person telling the lie has a real reason to lie. Skin in the game, high stakes, and real harm if their deception is uncovered.

Having a controlled environment to test this is really hard. You can't just have someone say, "My mother is 35" when their mother is really 53. That's a silly lie, and can be told with the same level of calmness as the truth.

So how do you design an experiment with "real" liars (telling non-trivial lies), while knowing which participants are lying or not?
> whether the app is "free" enough for their liking (MIT vs GPL-based license, etc),

I know it is tangential to this point, but a lot of developers, including long time Free Software developers, don't get licensing at all. While packaging software (FOSS) for a distribution, I've had to poke multiple people to fix licensing problems that invariably occurred (most common: incompatible licensing of parts of a project, perhaps imported from somewhere else).

> whether it is written in an "acceptable" language (Electron being Satan Incarnate, of course)

There are legitimate technical reasons for not liking Electron, not necessarily due to "disproportionate amount of time bickering" spent by "Linux Desktop users".

I went a long time--months?--thinking Apple had simply removed support for "repeat song" because of this exact same issue. When someone told me to "scroll down" it was like someone said "just open that wall, the peanut butter is inside" and I'm staring at a blank wall wondering who is insane.
Isn't that common knowledge that China devaluating its currency allows them to take advantage of their big worker population to develop their economy and make the entire world dependent on China's industry?

It really sounds like china is being the smartest one here.
Using third party package repositories is a really, really smart move. This way you can expand the universe of available C++ packages by combining different package management systems. In my experience, Conan is already pretty solid. But if a package is not available in Conan, chances are it's available in Vcpkg.
I think you'd get better results with a system that increases competition and incentivizes things like quality of service. The competition has the side benefit of decreasing those profits you seem concerned about.

Forcing them to spend money internally just incentives internal costs to increase, not to improve quality of service.

A CPU hour on a supercomputer is typically in the region of 0.1€ (an effective price taking hardware and energy cost into account). That means your 6000 core one hour job costs 600€. That will be the order of magnitude you will have to pay in "the cloud", too. It is definitely not cheap.

(Fun Fact: In academia, research groups typically apply for millions of CPU hours and effectively somebody else pays the bill)
Plenty of economists always knew. But economics is not the clean uncontroversial hard science it would like to present itself as. It's a political battleground shaped by wealth, influence, trends. And so it should be no shock there was neoliberal economics to go along with neoliberal politics.

It depends on what you consider a "complex kernel". Futhark is only for regular non-recursive data parallelism, but I'll argue that something like a genetic algorithm that does calibration of market parameters in the Heston model[0] is pretty complex. It comprises multiple levels of parallelism and several kernels (last I checked, the core work is done in four kernels which are invoked in a loop).

But more importably, this benchmark is written as a composition of two reusable parts (a genetic algorithm that is parametric in its objective function, and a specific objective function that does option pricing) that are then put together in an efficient and automatic way by the compiler. You literally could not write it this way in OpenCL or CUDA (modulo extreme amounts of template metaprogramming in the latter). While you could certainly write a specialised GPU program that did exactly this calibration, and probably outperform Futhark, you would not be able to structure it as reusable components without significant performance loss. This, I think, is the main advantage of using a high-level language together with an optimising compiler.

I was thinking that when buying books, people often take notice of recommendations from Amazon or random sites through Google or discussion sites like this one, but a recommendation from someone I know or interact with is preferable when I can get it. And it's not necessarily preferable because of a higher quality recommendation: a recommendation from a person implies some degree of meaningful interaction with them that contributes to an overall sense of.. meaningful-ness even if the book turns out to be awful. Plus if it turns out to be awful, I can discuss it with that person further and possibly get a better recommendation. Plus whether or not it's awful, I can talk with them about it after reading it for additional meaningful interaction.

I think that kind of loss of meaningful interaction is a pretty small thing, but it can add up over time and have a greater impact with high usage of services like Google that automate things that previously generally involved more human interaction. And sure, no one's forcing anyone to use Google or Amazon instead of talking to people, but it's a fairly subtle opportunity cost that comes with using those services. And those kinds of services are convenient and useful enough that it's quite easy to make a habit of using them, and habits aren't easy to change.
> Microsoft was Caged. Had it's wings clipped. Had a huge target on its back. In case you did't know, any complaint by say Google in its early days and Microsoft would have been broken up!

So much this. During orientation on my first day a representative from legal came in and told us, among other things, what types of metaphors we were allowed to use in emails. "No football metaphors, no explicit or implied violence, we do not 'crush the competition', we 'work hard to show customers how good our products are'."

Hard to get a team amped up about working in an exciting new space when you are literally not allowed to get a team amped up.

Then again, right before the iPhone launched, a market research report went around the mobile division that showed "consumers in the US will never pay for their phones, they are too addicted to free subsidized cell phone deals."

Long ago when I was just a couple years in, I was "corrected" when I said we should stop shipping bad keyboards and relying on OEMs to make the keyboard not bad. Someone rather senior told me that wasn't the reason at all as to why we were shipping a sub-par keyboard. I never was told exactly why Windows Mobile 6.x shipped poor quality on screen keyboards.
I agree with your assessment, and as a daily Windows user I believe I can answer your question: because the alternatives are still somehow worse.
That's not entirely fair, it's in the UK it's a "EU research program has pumped some 4.5 million euros into the project, which is being managed by a consortium of 13 partners, including Greece’s Center for Security Studies, Germany’s Leibniz University Hannover, and technology and security companies like Hungary’s BioSec, Spain’s Everis, and Poland’s JAS."
You seem to be assuming that behavior is a daily occurrence for most users?

End users are not updating dependencies or even installing that much new software on a weekly basis, let alone daily.

Also a lot of software wants to reboot for no reason other than “just to be sure”. That’s hardly a Windows issue when a random developer includes behavior that isn’t needed.
I think another consequence of that is that collisions have zero cost.

Momentum v strength doesn't scale linearly.
There's definitely a few exceptions, though they're mostly minor annoyances or caused by apps that expect you to be permanently online with a good connection.

The most frequent one I've seen on Android is swiping down while (almost) at the top, and the entire view refreshes. This is mostly in the browser, which simply reloads the page after a few seconds (resetting any text fields you may have modified) and in this case the gesture can be cancelled by reversing it. Unfortunately, if the browser or app has been open for a long time (say, I've left a news app open for three days), the view can be quite different once it finishes reloading, and can be impossible to get back to where I was previously.

Lazy-loading content can also cause issues when offline if the placeholders don't update (Materialistic, the app I'm using now, has both these issues).

Occasionally I'll find an app that likes to do annoying bouncy things with the view when overscrolling the bottom of a list, but that's fortunately rare.

> I don't see why being water resistant needs to be mutually exclusive with replaceable batteries and sd cards.

They aren't mutually exclusive at all. You can even have a real headphone jack and maintain a high degree of waterproofing.

I think eliminating the ability for people to replace batteries and use SD cards has more to do with saving manufacturing costs and encouraging people to replace their phones more frequently.
It's pretty much exclusively GDPR.

Well, nations are part of everyone in globalization no? Not sure I understand the distinction.

IMO it is however easier than other "desktop" applications, because it has an narrower focus, like Krita. Some applications are easier to focus than others (where usage patterns may vary wildly).
Not to take away from your point, I know you weren't talking about mining, but it should be pointed out that in an active mine there would surely be at least 10mm of insulation to protect the cable from damage.
Thank you for the kind words. The code is quite simple and it is very far from perfect... But hopefully with time we (in my group and outside it) can clean it up, convert it to Python only, and write a decent tutorial... We'll see what happens! Cheers, and thanks for your interest!

> the IRS tells me I should believe otherwise

If you have NSOs (or pay AMT) the IRS will happily lie to you about the true value of your options.
It is:

- Inaccurate (surely, since real lie detectors are)
- Does more harm than help
- Humiliating
- Will not stop any real threat
- Looks like something of a dystopian film

We shouldn't automate human interactions. We shouldn't automate social stuff. You automate mechanical things which are clear, not the delicate inaccurate job of a human to tell if another human is suspicious or not.

Thank you! I came here to say this same thing. Who cares what your twitter survey said?
Yeah, I only bottom-reply when I know (or can reasonably expect, e.g. on a mailing list) that the recipient is using a mail client that's not entirely brain damaged. Otherwise, I'll either top-reply or (if I really do want to respond to things in-line) actually say "See below for responses in-line" to clue in the recipient that yes, there's actually content in this email.

But yeah, that's usually more an issue with the mail client (or perhaps the mail server if it's being exceptionally stupid and modifying emails before final delivery). Top-replies became the norm for some god-forsaken reason, and now clients treat the quote and everything below it as entirely optional to display.
To begin with, Tesla's "motor controller" is an inverter. The charger on board is AC-DC. DC-DC

It's an old, but still not completely solved problem: imagine your stack open, but for a single FET, and your resistor is a little bit off. It instantly pops, and the "tuning" for the rest of it is now completely off, and it will cascade further

In case of Tesla, they do use the exotic semiconductor materials I mentioned above. SiC goes to 1500V nominally

You need to learn electronics engineering beyond wiring Arduinos

There is old, but still quite good and relevant explanation why stacking FETs suck on edaboard https://www.edaboard.com/showthread.php?269261-Is-MOSFET-in-...

There is an even older, but still excellent paper published by Philips called "Power Semiconductor Applications" where they explored nearly all trick to make FET stacks to work reliably.

Short: it's near impossible to do it reliably with off the shelf part, and it's better to not to risk if you deal with 600A+ currents. And if are determined to do all tricks necessary, IGBTs or III-V materials will still win on simplicity and cost
