It might. I'd argue that the original success of iPhone is very symbiotic with the developer community it grabbed. There was a latent hunger from software creators to make mobile software, but no decent platform to develop for. Making techno-geeks happy can move the needle for the whole ecosystem (it can also be a huge waste of time, depending on what you hope to achieve...Oculus is a great example of the masses not following the energy despite massive excitement and development efforts by techno-geeks).

This is one of those classic songs that sounds easy, but is really hard to pull off effectively. I clearly remember learning it in one of the bands I played with decades ago. Getting that right 'swing' feel in the opening quarter notes is hard, and the guitar chord riff (that were originally timed with the punches in the trailer) have an incredibly difficult syncopated timing to them. Get it wrong, and the song falls flat. Get it right, and the audience goes OFF!

That's because it's true from time to time. Journalists, diplomats, NGOs, academics, etc are the top spy vectors.

Do you really think russia is killing "journalists" because they are journalists or because they are spies or worse? Do you think the Saudi's killed kashoggi because he was just a "journalist" or because he was something else? Every major news/media organization in the world ( west, east, south , north ) are tied to the state. Whether you talk about the NYTimes or BBC or Xinhua or RT or Al Jazeera or [fill in the blank], they are all state organizations.

Of course this doesn't mean all journalists are spies. Most are just mindless grunts working for a paycheck like everyone else. But the journalists who are sent to iran, china, russia, etc are more likely than not tied to the state in one way or another.

> you don't need to do additional work to get your gaming running on Linux.

Ideally this is how it would be. Develop the game targeting Windows, and simply don’t do the things that unportably tie it to Windows. If you develop it from the start as cross platform, then it shouldn’t be some gargantuan effort to port it. It shouldn’t take that much longer to use platform-neutral APIs than the Windows-only equivalents.

Then just fling off a “totally unsupported Linux build”, stick it on an FTP server, ignore support tickets mentioning Linux, and let the Linux people figure out how to get it working—they will! Let them figure out their driver problems or which distributions ship the right library dependencies. A totally unsupported build is at least better for Linux users than abandoning the platform entirely.

I think a lot of games fail to work on Linux not because of the support costs or the platform fragmentation, but because the developers just don’t care or they choose engines and technologies that are not cross platform. It just never crosses their mind to do it differently.

I have been using a 9 year old MacBook (non retina either) and really want to upgrade but the new ones are too out of my price range. Plus the tons of keyboard issues with them has discouraged me. The MacBook I am still using was bought at $1000 new (back to school offer plus student discount) and I manually upgraded the ram to 16GB and replaced the harddrive as well as the optical drive with 2 SSDs. So overall, it probably costed me around $1400 for 740 GB of SSD space. Getting these specs on the new macs is way too expensive for me personally.

I might just end up buying an old 2015 one. Retina display is the only thing I really want.

Really? If not, it's not that far. I mean KnightOS/kernel/src is less than half a meg, and it gzips to 79K. corelib/src gzips to 10K, castle/*.asm to 6K, and all the core .asm files I could find to 107K. (I'm not sure I have the whole source because it's not in a single repo, so I may be missing something, and I've left out extra/, but still this is pretty far from four megs.)

I think the problem is the wrong way round -> .Net developers are still, to some extent, getting used to contributing open source code. Most .Net developers I know never submitted pull request to a public OSS project, whereas in JS world, everyone and their dog seems to be doing it. (and half of the packages are rubbish, but I am getting sidetracked..)

Many non-MS OSS packages / libraries only have like 1 or 2 maintainers. If they no longer have time for it, or, god forbit, get ill/life happens, then you've got a dead dependency. I never discriminate against a well-supported OSS package in favour of a Microsoft one.
$200 sounds a bit insane. Is this across many devices on a multi-device shared plan? AT&T charges me $40-$50 each time I upgrade the device. Anything > $0 still seems silly, but $200!

The Rumour about the Jews
Did they investigate if this was by choice?
You're changing units though, which in turn changes the outcome. The authors point was made about nutrients per volume, which is a rough approximation of how people actually eat food. While there are people who think "today I want 500kcal from beans and 75kcal from bananas..." they are relatively scarce.

When cast in units people actually do consider when eating (mass and volume) the authors point stands. Beef is more nutrient dense as a function of mass ~50kcal/, therefore you need a higher mass of plant matter to get equivalent nutrients.

Whether omnivores eat an equivalent mass of meat as vegetarians eat of plant matter is an interesting side question; I bet not.
Here in Norway they have a name (to the Goodfellas ref.), in the lines of "bankruptcy jockeys/riders", meaning that they ride companies into bankruptcy.

They are especially rampant in construction, where it's easy to get bank loans, by showing contracts and won bids (which are won by aggressively undercutting competition), and inventories can be flipped with ease.

We do have laws that essentially gets them banned from owning companies, if they pull that off too many times - but they easily circumvent that by just persuading friends and family to start companies on their behalf. It's a scummy business.

Yeah, my life experiences are such that I've lived long enough to remember several times people thought the world was going to end, WW3 would happen, and a bunch of doomsday predictions that should have but haven't happened.

I've heard there's a hole in the ozone and we're all going to die from cancer and I've heard that New York will be underwater and all the glaciers will be gone by 2020. I've lived through 2 US presidents everyone has said are Hitler and somehow, despite the uproar being the loudest today, the world hasn't come to an end and things actually don't seem that bad.

So yes, when I see headlines that are obviously click bait it hits this little part of my brain that feels compelled to say that maybe, just maybe things aren't all that bad.

That's why they asked "How much of that money does the OSS see?"

If it's getting a significant chunk, then things are great.

If all the money is going to the proprietary part, then they have no high ground over Microsoft.

Nobody is complaining about money charged for OSS support and development.

What you say may be true, but regardless of how it came to be, it's my understanding that b12 deficiency is much more common in vegans than meat eaters. So vegans do have to be careful in the short term. Maybe in the long term they should campaign for b12 enriching common vegan foods.

Evolution has a fast mode and a slow mode.

The fast mode is that if there is enough genetic diversity in the population that a subset have a combination of traits that suffices, natural selection quickly will reduce the genetic diversity and all of the survivors will have those traits. The advantage of sexual reproduction is that much of the genetic diversity is retained and gets to recombine in interesting ways allowing the next challenge to be addressed.

The slow mode is that if overcoming a barrier requires random mutations to produce new traits, it takes many generations for that to happen.

The current pH allows some to survive and others not to. But with projected future pH levels, none will be able to survive. Therefore natural selection will select out the entire population as there isn't enough time for a new set of traits to evolve.
In other words, hydrogen in the form of hydrogen is really horrible to transport - so horrible that this company is willing to eat the efficiency losses from converting to ammonia and back to avoid having to deal with hydrogen.

Which of course also begs the question of "well why not just use ammonia as the fuel?", but ammonia is highly toxic and thus unsuitable for use in consumer vehicles. But this also should raise some really huge warning signs when considering making a pipeline to transfer ammonia - if you don't trust the oil companies not to leak natural gas, why would you trust them not to leak ammonia?

And all of that still leaves out the fact that hydrogen fuel cell cars really don't 'work' in the way that people expect them to. Range, fill speed, performance - all suffer to the point that battery-electric cars are competitive today, and battery tech will still get better. My go-to article series on this issue is here [0], and they do a better job explaining than I could. Hydrogen might work as a substitute fuel for airliners, but even then it'd likely be easier to synthesize kerosene from scratch.

In this study men with the highest AND lowest intelligence were the least likely to have kids.

It reminds me of "Smart Teens Don't Have Sex (or Kiss Much Either)" discussed in http://www.gnxp.com/blog/2007/04/intercourse-and-intelligenc.... There was an analogous relationship with having sex. My interpretation: assortative mating.
In fact "vegan diet" is almost contradictory. One could argue it is short for "the diet part of the vegan lifestyle".

Vegans try to behave in a way that does not harm of commodify animals as far as practicable. Besides the diet this includes attitudes to clothing materials (leather, wool), entertainment (horse back riding, bull fights, zoos, petstores), and much of animal testing. One cannot really just take the diet bit and still call it "vegan". Likewise food is technically not vegan, it is "suitable for vegans".

The term that IS appropriate here is "plant based". "Plant based food" and the "plant based diet" are what the author actually, more accurately, wants to say I believe.

When I was in school, there were computer classes from grades 6 until 12. It covered topics like typing, keyboard shortcuts, internet browsing, internet research, and basics in more advanced topics like Photoshop and programming.

By the time my sister, who is 7 years younger than me, got to school that was mostly gone. It was cut back "because kids just know that stuff".
I’m an “aspiring” vegan, so basically “not” a vegan. I continue to eat meat but I am gradually moving to a more plant based diet. Since cutting down meat consumption I have noticed some neat side effects like nicer stools, less sweaty and less joint pain and also I feel a little less guilt for all the sins of an excessively meat based diet.

Personally I believe meat has a place, but we have gone way to excess, but some people do feel the need to eat meat every day and I don’t judge. Most people could eat a lot less meat though and not really notice it.
Hi Funklute, most of the models out there for dissolution kinetics and weathering rates are a type called "shrinking core models" such as those used in analysis by Hangx and Spiers (2009). Those models definitely do not take into account the effect of grain-on-grain collisions, surface abrasion, the constant refreshing of warm, acidic water, and/or fauna such as lugworms[1]. For example, the constant collisions chip off fine fractions of olivine that themselves weather rapidly. And the constant grinding removes a silica coating that dramatically slows the weathering rate of stationary olivine. Lugworm digestion can speed up the weathering rate by 100x-1000x, etc.

Ask your friend if he knows of any models that take even some of these considerations into account, as all of them will be present in the coastal environment and contribute to our accelerated weathering rates. Also, please show him these simple desktop shaker experiments here [2] and here [3], that show the rates are much higher than the core shrinking models calculate when the olivine is in motion (and these experiments are in fairly cold water compared to the tropics). This is the type of research that we base our calculations on. That said, we are in agreement that we need the rates to be empirically validated. So, first we are going to deploy a Phase Ia Safety Pilot Study, and once that is on the beach we will begin work on our Phase Ib Speed Pilot Study to demonstrate the accelerated rates. Thank you for your optimism for the project, we welcome feedback and hope to help spread the understanding of the underlying processes that make the project viable :)

I’d rather choose my B12. Predominantly B12 fortified foods use cyanocobalamin because it’s cheap, but it’s not the best for your health.

We have fully entered a market cycle where people routinely pay more for foods which have fewer ingredients than cheaper alternatives. There are reasons for it (extending shelf life or cheapness), but it is sort of odd to pay less for more “stuff”.

> Years ago, an OpenBSD developer told me, "threads are for idiots" in response to a bug I had submitted. At the time, I was a bit offended (it was a good, reproducible bug report), but today, I think he was right.

Whether he was right or not about threads, it's offensive to insult the person just because you don't like their idea. Likewise for this to be the response to a bug report - if you don't want to support threads, then don't support them rather than lashing out at people who notice your support is buggy.

I think in 2020 he's mostly wrong anyway. Sure, there have been many problems with threads, but...

* this presentation's "Threads should be used only when true CPU concurrency is needed" maybe meant "rarely" in "1995" but means "commonly" in 2020 when single-core performance has been mostly stalled for a while and core counts have risen dramatically.

* There are safer/easier alternate concurrency primitives than mutexes (channels) and at least partial solutions to major problems with threading. For example, in safe Rust there are no data races (even when synchronizing via mutexes). Other problems (deadlocks, contention, other types of race conditions) still exist of course.

* "Threads" vs "events (event loops + callbacks)" as described in this 1995 presentation isn't the whole world, especially today. What about communicating sequential processes with no shared mutable state (such as Erlang's actors)? So to some extent I disagree with the framing of the problem altogether.

* callbacks have their own problems beyond what's described in this presentation. Some that were widespread even in 1995: a string of operations written as a string of callbacks is a lot harder to understand than ones written with the "sequential composition operator" (;) and loops. (Callbacks are basically abandoning structured programming in favor of goto at the macro level.) Likewise harder to debug: you can't just get a stack trace and understand its current state. And some that have become more common since then. These days, event loops are usually multithreaded, so for any cross-request state you have the threading problems as well as the event loop problems. Today I'd say callbacks are the advanced, use them if you need the performance but be wary of the dangers option.

As someone who has been wanting to buy a MBP for several years, the 16" MBP is the best laptop they've made since the 2015 MBP.

That being said, I agree with you. It's too large.

There's also still a lot of stuff I don't care for (bezel size, massive trackpad, still has an underwhelming keyboard, lack of port diversity, touchbar), but it's decent enough for me to pull the trigger if it were in a smaller package.

They gave us the esc key back, and moved away from the butterfly mechanism, etc. If it was just in a form factor similar to that of comparable dell/lenovos (<= 14"), I'd buy one and I feel like I'm not the only one.

That being said, I also echo the price concerns. You can easily spec out a 16" to over $3k - that's a lot for a laptop.

The rate of potential mutation in a species is tied to the reproduction rate.

Evolution in bacteria can therefore happen much more quickly than in larger organisms. Evolution in viruses is quicker still. (The flu that comes around each year is noticeably evolved from last year's one. In particular it is bred to avoid triggering immune system responses to recent flu variants.)

Crabs can't evolve at anything like the rate of bacteria.
