Hm, good point. But couldn't you say the same thing about CUDA? There is an overhead involved in shunting data to and from the cores ... but the nature of the work being done, and the massive parallelism, mean the overall end-to-end volume of throughput increases dramatically.

I don't know enough about audio processing to answer your specific question ... but processing network traffic for instance, you have the opportunity to "do things" with traffic. For instance partially decode PDUs to see if they interest you, and then pass them on to user-land for more in-depth processing if so ...

EDIT I think you're thinking in terms exclusively of `mapping` operations, but this kind of thing can be great for `reducing` or filtering.

That's a bad deal unless you actually need ten years to migrate, which you probably don't. Better off to take a year or three at the 10% annual increase and then stop paying entirely (~364% of the existing rate for three years, with payments made in the future rather than the present) than to pay 1000% of the existing rate right now.
I never thought of it that way, but that's a very good point indeed.

As an emacs user, I think what makes emacs special is not the keybindings, but the software itself, or, better phrased, the architecture and approach to extensibility that the software uses. Opinions on that?
That doesn't add colour to, say, the smiley face, it just changes the colour from the default, usually yellow.

As well as adding colour browsers display emoji at a larger point size. It is really annoying when some pre-emoji symbol (like the phases of the moon in TFA) gets emojified and where your document had some discreet use of symbols it now has huge colourful icons drawing the eye.

And afaict there is no way of turning off this behaviour globally.

It's not a perk, it's a liability. This was an option at pretty much every company I worked at and I never understood what moron would choose to put their personal data/life on a corporate device (or connect their personal device to the corporate network and its management policy) with typical policies dictating that not only can the device be remotely wiped, it can also be remotely snooped.

The only brief moment of this being acceptable was Samsung phones being able to have completely split personal/corporate profiles across 2 sims in a single phone and have 2 copies of each app, but that seems to have died.

If your employer is managing the device you're choosing to also use for personal data, it's 100% your fault and 0% surprise when it backfires on you.

If you work in tech and don't have a separate work phone+laptop and personal phone+laptop, you're either a founder or an idiot.

I guess I just don't see much downside to putting both on the same device. I have trouble picturing a situation where I'm significantly worse off because of the path I've chosen compared to having two devices. The 99% worst case scenario is something like what happened to the person who was fired: my phone gets wiped when I didn't want it to be. Ah, well. With Android's backup capabilities, it takes me about an hour to be back to normal from a completely wiped device. I've wiped my device voluntarily just to give it unlocked to a repair person. It would not be that much worse to have to recover it involuntarily. The 99.9999% worst case scenario is that my employer is monitoring my private communications for some sinister reason, but I consider that pretty unlikely. I just can't see a way that would benefit them, and I'm not sure they even have the capability in the first place -- compartmentalization is what work profiles are for.

On the other hand, having to manage two devices would be a daily tax. So, yeah, I'm happy with my choice, but I'm happy to accept more information if you have other things I've not thought of.
There are providers [1] that will destructively scan the book for you and return a PDF. If you want to preserve the book, you're stuck using a scanning rig [2]. The Internet Archive will also non-destructively scan as part of Open Library [3], but they only permit one checkout at a time of scanned works, and the latency can be high between sending them a book and it becoming available. FYI, 600 DPI is preferred for archival purposes.

>I'm glad they have the capability, because otherwise they'd require me to carry a separate work phone, which would be super annoying.

A lot of people have a phone for work separate from their personal phone...Still, there is a perfectly reasonable middle ground, Google could have requested the employee backup the phone before wiping it since they knew or had reason to know there was personal data on the phone.
"Leave your politics at home" is more stupid than ever as we think about unions. Politics is the negotiation of power, and unions are a counterbalancing act to power. Any conversation about minority outreach is a discussion of power. The talk around immigration and H1-B visas is a conversation about power.
So it's inconsequential that we don't know one of the variables, because the one it's multiplied by is likewise unknown?

It's materially different to have an X multiple of an NYC salary versus an X multiple of an average US salary, for all values of X.

It's not as simple as charging ad revenue per user.

Only a small subset of users can/would afford to pay $25/yr for Facebook, and these users are arguably the most valuable to advertisers. Therefore by letting them skip ads, FB would lose out on more than $25/yr/user.

It might be profitable at something like $1,000/yr, but who would pay that?
1. "just" is less of a problem, "you just" presents more problem because it asking about the person's motivation, and not the code/technical solution. "Why didn't `sshd` used here?" will is a better question.

2. Asking this question doesn't tell people what you really think. Better question if it also followed by, "why" you think you can use `sshd`. "Why didn't you just use `sshd`? From my experience/quick judgment/limited understanding `sshd` is better/simpler compare to <suggested approach>, because of bla bla bla"

Then I wouldn't call it personal phone, strange description from OP/quote. That term indicates to me a phone I own completely, hardware, software and all data like photos.

Same with laptops - if one decides to use work laptop for personal use its their choice at their own risk, but it doesn't become their personal laptop in any meaningful way. Even if hardware would stay after employment ends, every reasonable company would wipe it clean with some deep format & clean image of OS.

I believe that on newer Android devices, the option is to wipe your work profile only, but on devices that don't support it, yes, MDM lets you wipe the entire phone. My own employer just rolled out an MDM option that gives them the ability to wipe my personal phone (this is my personal iPhone, acquired before I joined the company, not a corporate perk or anything) in exchange for being able to use native apps like Slack instead of doing everything inside a work-specific specialized browser. I'm steadfastly refusing to install it, and I'm on the older config with the work-specific app until it stops working.

I currently use Spotlight, but it's super non-ideal. I'll often dismiss spotlight and then realize I forgot the result. (I really hate what they did to Spotlight in Yosemite—it's overloaded and thus worse at its original purpose of searching the filesystem.)

I also recently bought Soulver (https://www.acqualia.com/soulver), which is great but not quite as quick as a dashboard widget.

Thanks for the modified upload—I realized the version on Apple's site has a visual glitch with the search bar length.

This is Hacker News, pretty much everyone will have forgotten about this relatively soon but whenever anything even remotely related to the event is posted about one of the people who has not forgotten will say about how they are still annoyed with X and that X is immoral, which will then cause someone to say what is wrong with X, and then someone else will go into excruciating detail on what is wrong with X and lots of people will chime in to say they hate X too.

>Usually the Ave/Street are mixed up

There should be a federal law against this kind of stupidity. It's unbelievable that many towns and cities actually thought it'd be a good idea to have two different streets with the exact same name, but one is an "Avenue" and one is a "street". I have a relative who lives on a "Second Ave" and has had all kinds of problems with mail because there's another address in that same small town with the same house number, but on "Second Street", and the person there is not cooperative when mis-addressed mail goes there.

Yup, there's no such thing as work profiles on iOS, and iOS MDM does have the technical facility to let an MDM owner wipe the device. (Obviously the user has to consent to it, but there's a lot of social pressure to say yes / to trust that your employer won't abuse this ability.)

Also I think that there are Android models that don't support a separate work profile.

> I think its a valid argument or caveat to the undesirable coal burning.

If I was doing some tit-for-tat argument I would ask what kind of confused climate skeptic literature says that its a valid argument for importing coal energy in 2019.

The green party used to say that the coal belong in the ground. It was one of their slogans. Being a net exporter of green energy does not make it suddenly valid to dig up the coal and burn it. The coal belong in the ground and should stay there.

> So get planning - because it can work

Claiming something to be a carbon offset in the books and telling the public misleading information is not acceptable. If they want to put things that "can work" then they can put down "could be a carbon offset" in the book rather than "is a carbon offset". Then the "could be" calculations could be compared to the factual climate change data.

> That sounds like a "super green" policy, do many people believe in it?

And there we have it. Not burning fossil fuel for power is apparently a fantasy?

But that is not true. There are countries today which operate with no or close to zero fossil fueled energy grids. Places like France does it without even calling it "super green". They just did it because they didn't want to be dependent on other nations after the second world war. Iceland just use geothermal and hydro because it was cheapest and available. Norway and Sweden could do it but doesn't for political and economical reasons.

It also a bit silly to argue that it must be done tomorrow. They could set up a goal like they did for 2020, 2030 and 2040 and so on. A lot of green politics is about putting down goals and focusing the political discussion. Banning fossil fuels in energy production has yet to be part of any such discussion, and the green party just dodges the question when ever the issue of still winter nights comes up.

It is also a bit funny that we are defining nuclear as a super green policy. Its a label that sounds like a insult but really, is it? Personally I don't care much either way as my goal is that the coal and oil stay in the ground, the natural gas don't get fracked, and the biofuel production don't get double counted and presented as a carbon offset. I just wish that the green movement would be behind that.
