Your argument, that GPL was KHTML's only advantage, doesn't make any sense because it then follows that Apple chose KHTML because they just love GPL and won't accept anything else despite KHTML's supposed technical inferiority. In other words, you're saying Apple chose KHTML because their only concern was apparently to get to be forced by GPL to release improvements. Because if KHTML was so inferior and forced them to release improvements (let's imply Apple didn't like this), what reason would they possibly have to choose KHTML? "Oh, look, there are these other engines which are better than KHTML but unfortunately their licenses don't force us to release our work, so no, we choose GPL."

In reality KHTML was a much better code base than other options, and Apple didn't really care that much about the license.

Let me tie in this comment with the whole thing about GPL vs. non-copyleft free software drama in general, and why I think GPL has become harmful: what you said I think illustrates a kind of thinking mode that the idea, the practical working principle, behind GPL breeds. The idea is to use force and coercion to make entities do what you want them to do. That road naturally leads to a mindset where every behavior is seen as necessarily motivated by coercion. And that leads one to normalize and accept coercion as an acceptable, even necessary, mode of social relations. I see this mode of thinking a lot with strong advocates of GPL. It's always in terms of someone being forced to do something good, and if they aren't being forced no good shall come out. This is a horrible, horrible way to look at the world. If we take Apple as an example, they open-sourced a lot of stuff they had no legal reason to release, some of those things very non trivial.

I have to point out that I'm writing all of this as someone who respects RMS and FSF's cause a great deal, I even use the term free software rather than open source (in my native language, fortunately, there's no confusion about "free", free as in freedom and free as in bear are not homonyms). However, I do not think GPL and strong copyleft licenses are an acceptable, or even a good way, to accomplish freedom in this domain of life. GPL is maybe a great tool to destroy proprietary software (well, almost, but not quite), but a horrible way to accomplish software freedoms in general.
I took the same path as you. Forced church when I was younger and then started questioning, and finally was asked not to come to Sunday school anymore. Because the bible says so is simply not an acceptable answer and that is what it all came down to.

Today I usually just avoid religious conversations because most people are not aware that I have been there and done that, and I often know more about their religion than they do. If religion makes someone feel good, great. For me personally, the most vocally religious people I have met have always selfish people who hide behind the veil of Jesus.

No good laptop is cheap. Thinkpads were not cheap (they now have cheap lines, they're crap). Toughbooks are not cheap. Macbooks are not cheap. Design, components and assembly quality come at a price, that's all there's to it.
> I would have him not view people on the other side as advisaries.

A big part of the impetus for the FSF was an early instance where they were adversaries, at least in RMS's eyes. The MIT AI lab had an open culture of sharing code, which was "taken proprietary" by several spinoffs in the early 1980s, who hired away some of the AI-lab hackers and stopped sharing improvements with the remaining not-hired-away AI-lab hackers. Stallman saw that as a bit of a betrayal of trust, not to mention damaging to the open development of software, and users' ability to have the source to & freedom to modify their software.

His solution was twofold: 1) start his own competing spinoff (the Free Software Foundation) which would employ its own set of hackers to develop the "public", non-proprietary codebase; and 2) license their contributions under a new license, the GPL, which would ensure that extensions to their code couldn't be taken proprietary.
My guess is that the real research is the response to the paper and not the conclusion presented in the paper. Kind of a shoot in the air to see which way people run. The information gained by observing Facebook's response could prove useful to other big companies that take a hit in today's media driven society(internet). What works and doesn't work in their PR response. They could also be tracking other data, such as stock prices of other social media companies. It's what makes research so much fun.
Those exist.

It was interesting seeing him name ASUS, as I own an ASUS G55VW which is a 2012 Republic of Gamers series laptop.

The laptop is a quite bulky 15-incher, my friends make fun of it asking if it has hover capabilities, but for a good reason: it has a fantastic cooling system. The design is also amazing, keyboard is perfect, trackpad works great, and best of all, it lacks Nvidia Optimus.

I bought it for that very reason, back in 2012 when I bought it Optimus support on Linux was horrible. It's better now, but the technology itself is kind of pointless, as Mr. Gomes explains.

People have become some hung up in weight and size wrt. laptops, but we have tablets now if we want something light, in fact, I'm using only my Nexus 5 and my laptop to cover all the tasks I ever go about day-to-day and they do their respective tasks wonderfully well. Buy a hulk, buy something of quality, no-one types on the fly, anyone can transport a few kilos worth of hardware when it's so. damn. practical/versatile.

Sorry, diod not phrase my question right. I meant to ask what is the UI framework you used? The one that creates touch phone like interface and look-n-feel.
how about https://www.system76.com/laptops/model/bonx7?

I have a Gazelle Professional from them (previous generation shipped with proper GPUs) and it's really nice for gaming.
Sounds like you are ready to start your own church.
There is a OSX tool called gfxCardStatus that can switch GPUs without logging out on the 08 and 09 models, works great on my 09 MBP, so it only seems to be a driver issue not a hardware limitation.
That is a fucked up way to treat psychiatric patients. Are all psychiatric wards in the US like this?
The Iris Pro with eDRAM (Crystalwell?) is an interesting offer from Intel. If I was in the market for a new laptop this year, I'd be keeping an eye out for those Haswell refresh or maybe a Broadwell based laptops, similar to the newest Macbook Pro.

Edit: this is what I mean (and now want):

I don't think you've been looking hard enough. Thinkpads are amazing, you also have high end sony vaios, and the Microsoft surface pro 2 is also a really great portable device.
I actually quit playing SpaceChem because the difficulty of the puzzles progressed to the point where I felt I should be getting paid to solve them.
If you plan on gaming, DON'T buy a laptop. This is solid advice. Gaming on laptops is a bad experience in general.

Just buy a decent laptop with great battery life & mobility properties and a PS3/4 or a cheap gaming PC for gaming.
Open Source? If not, count me out.
Many people have taken the route you've described, and their stories are usually the same. They finally found reason (maybe at 8 or 12) and realized all the "obvious, gaping holes and flaws" in Christianity.

But very few people have gone from atheist to Nicene-creed-believing Christian in their adult life, which I did. This seems so backwards, don't you just wonder what their reasoning was? I do.
Also: Dogecoin fans make a point of behaving nicely. Bitcoin advocates are dicks.

> And double the price of every other PC laptop out there with the same specs. Hell no.

You should pay more attention to the specs: since the switch to Intel, Mac laptops have been very competitive on price when you compare them to something which is actually equivalent hardware – there are tons of laptops which are half the cost but they got there by cutting corners. The usual trick is to match on one feature (CPU, GPU, screen resolution, etc.) and hope you won't notice that e.g. the display is much lower quality, there's a hard-drive instead of an SSD (or either is slower), the CPU is an older generation, etc.

If you do find something which is equivalent, it's as common for the cost to be higher as it is lower depending on when you buy in that particular manufacturer's product lifecycle.
I am in Brazil, I earn about 20k USD year as mobile programmer (and for Brazil this is VERY, VERY, VERY high income)

Also in Brazil everything (and I DO mean EVERYTHING) is more expensive, Macs usually have a 100% markup compared to US, most of the extra price in taxes. (Brazil has some crazy taxes, for example Videogames have 72% of their final price being taxes, Cachaça, Brazil national cultural beverage, 82% of the final price is taxes...).

Here one of the easiest way to get "easy money" is smuggle stuff (usually electronics and clothes, but last year the government had to arrest massive amounts of tomato smugglers), for example you can go to US, buy a bunch of MacBooks, smuggle to Brazil, and charge 50% more of what you paid for them in US, and profit that 50%, and for a Brazillian this still is cheaper than buying a legal one here (that has 100% markup, as I mentioned earlier).
Apple has economies of scale to their advantage, the macbook air is really competitively priced compared to their windows alternative.
Indeed, but fat margins are welcome too. It's 2014 and doesn't the MacBook Air ship a TN display?
sorry but i disagree. the in video questions, the randomised problem sets, all the coursera stuff really helped me to learn the ideas.
> I believe the original versions of Mac OS X that supported Optimus

OSX never supported Optimus, it's been a home-grown solution from the start.
Thanks -- but you might want to wait a little while; someone opened a Github issue pointing out that the API offers better weather info than I'm using, and also linking a weather icon font I didn't know existed, so I'm mid-rewrite right now. It'll look a lot better once it's done. :)
Not everything is about those few "specs" you measure (I'd guess CPU, graphics card and memory). This is like judging a house on size and rent price alone -- and thinking that a $200,000 Malibu house is not really worth it compared to a $100,000 Fargo house.

Do you get ALL of the items below for the half price PC laptop?

• More battery life (up to 50% more than most Windows laptops, and topping the best of them by 10-20%)
• Less weight.
• A retina screen, with apps that fully support it (unlike the Windows Hi-DPI situation), and that is shown (on test and measurements) to be the best in laptops for brightness, color rendition etc.
• OS X (and iWork / iLife apps for free as of Mavericks!).
• solid, sturdy alimunium enclosure, machined from a single piece of metal (something that costs), and an industrial design that someone has toiled over, and not a quickly churned out plasticky mess of a case and parts placement.
• Cheap SSD options (compared to buying one yourself or Wintel laptop SSD prices, the pre-configured Mac options are cheaper).
• a multitouch trackpad (of the same quality as Mac's one)?
• NO DVD drive (yes, I'd pay to remove that piece of obsolete crap and have no moving parts on my laptop).
• thunderbolt ports, mag safe adapter, illuminated keyboard, etc etc.

If you don't get all of the above, then you don't really get "the same specs". Just the same memory/CPU/GPU. Especially people who buy laptops but don't seem to value portability (weight/size) and battery life are strange to me...
This is why I've been holding off on a new notebook for almost a year. If Broadwell is half as good as it should be, it should be offering midrange discrete class GPU horsepower on their highest end graphics chipsets, and the tdp won't be absurd like the gaming notebooks that last half an hour off the wall.

I'd also be interested in low power Kaveri parts from AMD, since that fab process is proving itself more efficient at lower TDP.
You are betraying complete ignorance of how humane and effective treatment for acute psychiatric conditions is supposed to work. The account in this article, assuming it is correct, has so many red flags I don't even know where to begin.
Like I wrote in the post, I had to DOWNGRADE the driver, because a upgrade made it STOP working at all, GPU got 100% disabled, not even nVidia control panel launched anymore.
> I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W520, with nVidia Optimus. What they didn't tell me was that the external VGA port is hard-wired to the nVidia GPU

FWIW, mixed-GPU Apple laptops have the exact same issue (although there's no reboot necessary), external displays can only be driven from the discrete GPU not the integrated one.
The Italian for "grilled chees" is actually "formaggio arrosto". "panini" is just the plural of "panino", ie, a sandwich.

That's exactly relevant! Your premise is that <insert entity> (in this case Apple) objects to releasing things free, and the only thing that made them do it is GPL. GPL is simply not relevant here, no one cared. Apple in turn benefited from Google's improvements of Webkit, etc. People who make decisions in companies, and indeed people in general, are perfectly able to understand the enormous benefits of cooperation. No need for any kind of force or coercion, thank you very much.
Steambox came a callin'. Remember that stream tech Valve wants to use works both ways, so you could stream games from your mid range Steambox to your notebook.
The selection model used to work the way you expected - clicking on a line segment would select the whole shape.

I changed it to select only the two points that made up that line segment because I thought it made more sense, and there's usually plenty of hit-area on the inside of the shape for selecting the whole thing. In this case, I see how it was confusing.

I suppose I could revert back to the old selection model, or add an edge case where clicking on a line segment selects the whole shape if it consists of only two points. The current system would make more sense if there were more things you could do with selected points besides just moving them around with the arrow keys.

Either way, thanks for reporting this. If you catch any more problems, please log them in https://github.com/artursapek/mondrian/issues. :)
Absolutely right, it's a good question. I don't think you could come into Dropbox's position without having someone on your team who knows this, but if you didn't, the answer could save you millions ;)

But even for smaller amounts, if you sell 150K of goods per year through a reseller, and you pay a standard fee, it never hurts to e-mail them and negotiate a tighter deal. If you manage to shave off 1%, that's $1500 (clean profit). Say you pay 5%, you can apply pressure by saying you could get a better deal somewhere else, or implement their service yourself for that money.
I always heard lots of complaints that random apps that don't seem like they should need the dedicated GPU would use it, which would spin up the fans and drain the battery.
Respectfully, I would instead recommend secular Buddhism and mindfulness for dealing with emotions related to your own mortality. I believe it to be a healthier alternative without the need for a belief in god, an afterlife, or any superstition.

I recommend the writing of Jon Kabat-Zinn and Stephen Batchelor.
PrimeMinister? So they just block it and everything goes on?
After browsing the site, I'm left with 2 questions: What does this service offer that makes it more desirable than the whole crowd of other Notification-As-A-Service providers, and how do I make an API call to it? It doesn't look like there are API docs, so I would need to dissect one of their linked wrappers.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I've not used Clojure specifically, but in the sitations where OO people use dependency injection I tend to use a free monad with multiple interpreters. I'm yet to make serious use of an algebraic effect system, but that would make this even simpler and more composable.
But there can be greater benefits of defection, particularly in the short term.

Yes it is the result they want.

You can custom order a nice laptop if your willing to spend 800+ and not have to worry about getting a macbook

But at the same time I just looked up optimus and most of the new GPUs are listed as having it

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/optimus/supported...

I would generally avoid Nvidia until this optimus stuff gets enough press until they are forced to retire this or at least make it optional.

Or just wait until someone decides to start a class action lawsuit against them like how HP knowingly sold and entire family of defective Elite desktops
Considering how well GPU-switching works in OSX, why would you be happy that your machine is too old to support it? (and gfxCardStatus will also allow forcing on later machines)
Webpage is barely viewable on an iPad. I hope their laptop is better than their website.
I've had both mac and pc laptops.

These days I don't touch anything but Dell Precision workstations, absolute beastly machines (i7, 2X SSD with option for a 3rd, and 32GB RAM) with dual fans.

Runs Linux like a boss, zero issues.

The Nvidia GPU, however, that is a serious PITA -- in order to keep the chip from going into max power mode 24/7 with a multi-head setup, I had to resort to flashing the VBIOS. Risky, but necessary if you want peace & quiet.

As I detailed elsewhere, the problem with this assumption is that you are one-off optimizing by encoding metadata about the data in the query. So while this specific query has been made more optimal, the underlying problem with the database remains, and thus you will invariably face and then have to work around the same problem numerous times.

Or more often one won't because the legacy of hundreds of slow but not terrible queries accumulate. It becomes a death by a thousand cuts, which is the end result of many heavily used databases.

My example in SQL Server sees the simple addition of a single distinct index to give that same metadata to the query planner, yielding the identical plan for the first and last. And this same benefit will flow to every query that follows the same path.
If they require you to confirm the purchase with your fingerprint they would likely have lower levels of fraud than raw credit card numbers which would let them undercut the other payment providers. They could make a nice profit charging less than the standard 2.X%.
Please understand I'm not justifying or defending, only explaining.
Alternatively, if your gpu is supported by Nouveau reclocking, PRIME is the best hybrid graphics experience you are going to get. I just edit .desktop files of programs I want to run on discrete graphics to include DRI_PRIME=1 and almost all work flawlessly if your window manager supports xrender and you have a compositor running.

It just means your gpu performance suffers using the community driver.

Unfortunately you're right, there are many Christians who just like to argue and abuse their "religion" to get their confrontational needs met. There are also many Christians who don't really stand on solid ground in their faith.

But there are Christians out there who know what they're talking about, who know more about their religion than the enlightened ex-Christians and educated atheists do.

You've probably never met one. Most people haven't. Because they don't like to argue or confront people. And they don't force their views down people's throats. Most of the time, they just sit there quietly and pray for those non-believers who other Christians would insult or argue with. They usually only bring it up when they're asked to give account for the reason they have hope, and they do it with gentleness and respect.

Funny that you interpreted Frozen that way, those were my exact thoughts as well - Disney trying to subtly discuss mental illness through metaphors. Which seemed pretty surprising; Disney has always been about the status quo and society's expectations.
You want to mine bitcoins with a laptop? Why? The laptop will wear out faster, you would get better performance per cost with a different option, many other reasons not to as well.

Also with fairness to the nVidia Optimus, AMD has "Dynamic Switchable Graphics" that is quite similar. The state of linux support for my laptop with the AMD equivalent is not the greatest either.

In linux, there are quite a few projects providing some form of support to this, (note the Nvidia Optimus section on the archlinux wiki for Hybrid Graphics[1]) so stating it doesn't work at all on mac/linux is fairly untrue.

So many things are broken here. The crapware crumpled to OEM versions of Windows (or the Unity defect if you're using Ubuntu), the lack of trust in the PC hardware, the lack of class when going through the experience of buying a PC, the antivirus-update-adobe-will-restart popup world... 35 years after Bill Gates, the industry is still fighting like phone companies.

There's room for a new brand. A leadership brand.
That site is a brilliant resource. Thanks for sharing.

One of my main considerations when moving somewhere is the climate.

It would be cool if the site had links to places with similar climates (could be calculated with some kind of distance metric from all the variables). I loved the climate in Sydney, so it would be nice to see a list of places in the world where it's similar.
That's one year's salary for an extremely well-paid developer.
yeah, but it's no longer current/supported as far as I can tell.. the actual project appears to be dead and I can't find it on the backports at all. Shame, because it looked promising for a while.

I'm a bit amazed that Nvidia isn't supporting this more, given y'know, SteamOS just around the corner.
It's a combination of multiple factors.

I go to UT Austin, which has a population size of 75,000 and basically its own city. An on site clinic is a practical measure since it's convenient and handles the simple stuff[1] for the campus body while deferring to specialists or hospitals for more complex procedures.

The clinic is paid through mandatory fees and thus "free". By comparison, visiting another clinic or doctor is less convenient and has a $10-25 copay (more if you don't have insurance).

> Sexual harassment is indeed a problem, here as well, but again I wonder why not go to the police? At least here, it's a criminal offense.

It is a criminal offense, but there is a lot of emotional fallout that the police aren't prepared to handle. Mental health and counseling services are supposed to help victims in these situations, not push them out.

I'm surprised they don't show the new second-place bidding in the history, if only to make it obvious what's happening. Like if there's a starting price of 10, I bid at 100 and then someone bids at 20, then it could show me bidding 10, them bidding 20 and me bidding 21, instead of just me at 10 then me at 21.
