This is a horribly low-quality article. The central proposition is entirely analyst speculation, with no actual information to hook it onto that doesn't date back years. The author appears, from how he gets details subtly wrong, not to actually know anything about the history of CPUs (and not to have bothered e.g. checking Wikipedia).

There is nothing here that is backed-up news whatsoever.
Why is it actually the case that the sender has to care about congestion and not the link itself?
Great idea.

Wish they could also detect when they throw bottles and other garage at you and take a photo.

But at least knowing they are coming is great, especially with hybrids and electric cars being nearly silent.

It's amusing that people hate Microsoft/XboxOne more than Sony/PS4. And this is after Sony's stumbles, such as the CD root kit fiasco and removing ability to run Linux on the PS3.

How could Microsoft have allowed itself to get into this situation? Wow!

I'm no historical figure, but I can't feel productive in a location where I can't just randomly decide one night that I've had it with work, want to throw my laptop out hte window, and should just go out for a pint. So you get up, walk outside, and voila, full bars on any random night of the week.

Sometimes you run into people from your field, sometimes from other fields, sometimes nobody at all. But it's a good way to recharge your brain, increase productivity, and merge disparate ideas.

Your mileage may vary, but I really really need that.
Absolutely. But outside of Social Psychology there are strong, genuine disagreements --to say the least-- on whether "conceptual" replications are a valid source of converging evidence at all. See for instance [1,2] for typical reactions.

Nice idea. That could definitely explain things faster than a description of it. I'll make one this afternoon.

How would you have reacted to 9-11? Just shrugged your shoulders and said "it's only 3000 people?" Maybe the same for Pearl Harbor? If so, you'd likely be speaking German or Japanese now.
I've been using mu4e for over a year now and have been very happy with it. For some reason I just couldn't get my head around GNUS workflow and concepts. mu4e just seemed more normal to me, but with great search.
I agree at least up to a point depending on the course. And, having said that, it's a problem for most MOOCs:

The fact that student are mostly casual and at least shouldn't expect any sort of meaningful certification means that it's hard to expect the sort of time commitment that I put into many of my university courses.

There aren't good mechanisms to evaluate and provide quality feedback for in-depth homework. (And peer review most certainly doesn't count.)
I love the idea of Jason Derulo becoming aware of the existence of a Node.js module.
No. You also lose compatibility with every game and most major applications like Adobe, since all of these use lots of highly optimized, handwritten assembler code for critical sections, as well of all code paths using x86 vector instructions or other hw acceleration.

Thanks but no thanks.
Great list but some screenshots would be nice.

Just a warning, watch which Twitter accounts you click on in that stream - some very graphic Gaza/Syria imagery in there.
Being Swedish I totally agree with XKCD since that's how dates are written here since the 70's.
But this standard seems to be receding, for example recently the Swedish DMV had to change so that on new driver's licenses the date is written '01.01.1984' instead of previously '1984-01-01' :-( because of EU parliament rules.

It would be helpful if you included licensing information for each one, or even just split the list into 'freely usable for coding' versus fonts you have to buy a license to use for coding at work, or at all.

Another useful division would be 'scalable' versus 'bitmap only'.
Yeah I think this is where the new(ish) adventure mode in mincraft can come in handy because I see the same thing. With adventure mode you can define world parameters such as "only these blocks are mineable" and so forth. With that you could setup a world where only the tasks you want accomplished could be possible. But I'll be honest, that's a lot of work for someone trying to teach!
I would suggest offering some existing/known color schemes to make modifications to and the ability to share custom color schemes.

It's probably worth mentioning as well that Woody Flowers ran the 2.70 course for many years at MIT (now 2.007) It was one of the key counterweights to an MIT Mechanical Engineering degree falling completely toward the theoretical side. So his perspective likely is influenced by the fact that academic theory courses only go so far.
Why do websites think I want their APP?
The most shocking was when they said that the important people in 17th century Japan were all missionaries... surely some of the least important people in the country at that time!
4 hrs * 5 days per week = 20 hrs. $1500 / 20 hrs = $75 per hour. It's a decent rate, but it's hardly something you need to be in SF to find (where you more often hear of contractors charging $100+).

I currently have a similar arrangement, where I work about 20 hours a week as a contractor (although that is not a quota, but more of a choice) at nearly the same rate. I live in a mid-sized Canadian city (comparable to a smaller American city) with relatively low cost of living (to the big cities).
TSA offering $15k to help solve security lines
I'm saddened that nobody ever brings up video games when talking about these architectural shifts. Practically all PC games in the past few decades have been written for x86, and most of them will never be patched for ARM compatibility. These games are as important to many of us as movies or music, and yet I fear they're destined to disappear from our cultural memory if this shift ever happens. Virtualization just won't cut it; most modern games barely even run with Wine, to say nothing of performance. And given the slowing of Moore's law, we can no longer count on emulation to give us seamless reproductions a few years down the line. Does nobody care? Why doesn't anyone say anything? I love my Mac, but if I have to choose between ARM and my Steam library, I'll choose Steam and begrudgingly go back to whatever Windows version still supports it.

On a related note, I think it's important to differentiate between utility software that's assumed to be temporary, and one-off pieces of software that are intended to live forever. I wish there was an easier way to write software in such a way that it can easily be guaranteed to run in the future, no matter the architecture. (Open source is not a guarantee. Ever try compiling the source to a AAA game?)
I don't have a use for this right now but it looks like a nice and simple solution.

Golang – Python remote work
I am wondering if I could get some advices about how could I find some remote work (note that I am not US based). I have been using market places such as oDesk and Elance for a while with a high degree of success. The reason why I am trying to orient my self to other sources is that there is a very small pool of real Python and especially Golang projects. My main disadvantage is that I am not good at UI/UX, to be honest even the idea of doing it gives me chills. I've started some side projects in Go and I love it. There is no point to mention that in the above mentioned sites there are almost no projects related to it.
No reason it can't be done. Many self represented litigants are very capable and only learn what they need by reading case law online. It's much easier now than it was a hundred years ago because there's so much free legal commentary online.

Compared to a good (i don't really consider Debian "good", since the 2006 OpenSSL screwup) Linux distro: you control your own software, you can make sure it's kept up-to-date and the binaries come from a trusted source (and you can build them yourself, if you want to).

Those vendors will follow. As they have previously when they transitioned from powerpc to x86. Games is a good point. But this is not a big thing on MacOS (as yet) anyways. If it saves hundreds of dollars per machine, its a no-brainer for the vast majority of users.
The Education Revolution Is Here Right Now. Don't Miss It
SSL Strip still works and banks don't care about anything other than providing the illusion of security and standard SSL.

Take for example an old lady down the road who somehow got some futuristic malware on her router. She goes to Bing to search for Wells Fargo to do some online banking (and you know that there is a huge portion of users who only browse the web this way). Hypothetical malware then just runs SSLStrip over the page from bing.com which isn't served over ssl because Microsoft values their bottom line over your privacy and security, which then replaces the link to the https site with http, the router acts as a proxy between http and https so wellsfargo.com is none the wiser. Evil hacker now has poor old lady's password and transfers the money in her account to his own foreign bank account.

This hypothetical scenario is doable even running off of a slow router while not using many more resources than the parental keyword filtering uses. At no point does SSL ever come into play and the top 4 Banks in America (Chase, Citibank, Bank of America, Wells Fargo) don't use HSTS so there's no real way to protect their users from SSLStrip unless a browser includes them in some force SSL list.
I also had a friend who learned the law this way in Winnipeg Canada for two years before "dropping out" to go into entertainment. The information he acquired during the two years ( during which time he was also paid) helped him during his subsequent and very successful career and there was no shame in dropping out,nor risk.

Some researchers have argued eloquently that network operators and implementers should modify the infrastructure to have shorter buffers or intelligent queue-management schemes, such as the recent CoDel and separate queues for different flows. But modifying every place there is too much buffering — every LTE base station, every LTE baseband chip inside a cell phone, and every cable modem — may be an uphill battle.

Our work demonstrates that in some cases, comparable or higher performance is possible without modifying network infrastructure at all—just by modifying the contending endpoints.
I don't have any Synology products, but I have a few things on my home network that I like having access to remotely, and my solution has been to put a Raspberry Pi running dyndns and OpenVPN between my home network and the open internet. This way I only need to make sure the Pi is up to date and that OpenVPN is configured and hardened properly, and my potential attack surface area doesn't change no matter how many things I add to my network that I want to access remotely.

My son won a gold medal. Then was robbed. Apple involved. HELP
Hi HNers,

MY son won a gold medal for video game design and programming. His game was displayed at the Parsons School of Design in NYC starting in May 2014. Just over a month later, an exact duplicate was released in the Apple appstore (not by my son). It is now #10 in the rankings (called: No Brakes). It even used the exact shape for the vehicle.

Is there anything we can do? Any suggestions?
What an obnoxious point of view. The author is taking the perspective that anyone who doesn't like the Xbox One is a miserable unhappy person. In Reality, most people were going to buy only one next gen console. Microsoft did everything they possibly could to piss off gamers.

Sony got a standing ovation at E3 for allowing people to trade physical copies of games. Microsoft blew it and gamers shouldn't have to explain why they aren't spending $400 on another console just because Microsoft made things better.
This is a cool example of solving a problem by developing a general purpose tool, then programming the tool to solve the specialized problem. It's cool for a couple of reasons. First, many aspects of the tool's behavior can be confirmed at the general purpose level, i.e., does it behave according to the expected laws of electromagnetism. Second, it provides the entire community with something useful.
Doesn't seem any different than most credit cards. People want to read it one way (FREE FREE FREE!!!!), but it's pretty normal. $15 for the card, use it for purchases (Association transaction) with no fees. Use it to get cash at a machine and there will likely be fees.
This isn't for city riding. It is for riding on country roads. If you've ever done any road cycling outside of city centres, it can get very risky as the cars are going so much faster and there isn't the same road shoulder. Your ears are not enough. Personally I hate cycling on country roads because of this so I would definitely use this radar.

I agree with an earlier comment about non-visual feedback. An audio queue would be good (thinking like the trackers in the Aliens movies)

GP post:

> We might think that smoking can be bad for individuals, and decriminalization is good for society at the same time. However, a seven month time period is not enough to read the experiment on many the variables claimed in the article (blight, drop outs, etc.)

From the article:

The ominously predicted harms from> legalization — like blight, violence, soaring addiction rates and other ills — remain imaginary worries.

"drop outs" wasn't mentioned in the article. And what, pray tell, is the methodology for doing such an analysis other than "drugs are bad, m'kay?"

And again, the whole point of the comment was a concern for assessing societal harm. To take such a view and not acknowledge the damage that prohibition causes is intellectually dishonest.
we were so worked out trying to get out our MVP, we simply missed it. Thanks for spotting that. Will be fixed
http://www.incfile.com is decent, but it's cheaper to just do it yourself. Most times it's not hard, you just need to submit a few forms.

A year or so ago, my Synology NAS got hacked by a Bitcoin mining virus. I only discovered it because a tech blogger tweeted about it and I happened to see it. My Synology was out of date and the virus must have exploited a vulnerability without any action on my part. Without knowing what to look for, the virus was effectively invisible. Given that I'm probably in the top 1% of tech savvy people, imagine how many others must have gotten infected! (I contacted Synology tech support and suggested that they send out an e-mail to their users, but they never responded.)

Unfortunately, last I checked, it's still impossible to have a Synology NAS automatically update itself.
After the PSN SQL injextion attack, I was all about getting a next gen Microsoft console. And then rumors started swirling that it would be always online. This immediately after diablo 3 and Sim city had such disastrous launches. As soon as they confirmed it, they lost me. I'll take data breaches over always online DRM any day of the week.

Nah, a government agency would never share your valuable secrets with your competitors / enemies. Oh, wait.
8760 hours = 1 year

So...

a 1 Watt device running 24x7 = 8.760 kWh

billed at about $0.40/kWh [includes both generation and delivery and normal for NE USA - ain't deregulation great?!] ~ $3.50 per year.

In order to get to $1.00, total cost per kWh must be about $0.114 ...
I agree, but I can buy two entry-level Synology DiskStations for the price of one C2550 CPU+MB bundle. I really like that CPU and I would buy it in a heartbeat to replace my Synology, if the price didn't include the "GenuineIntel tax".

Assuming you want to stay a solo contractor, Alan Weiss' "Million Dollar Consulting" is a great book to read on this subject. It's written for soft-skill consulting (management, HR, etc) but is highly applicable for developers and technical consultants too.

His main angle is to shift towards "value based pricing" and becoming a true partner to your clients, focusing on producing business value (rather than code). This mode of thinking was a huge shift for me in how I thought about my work, choosing clients, and helped me get over that wall.
"Drugs are bad, m'kay". Not only did you make up an argument for your imaginary opponent, but you caricatured the argument. The irony of ending your comment with the words "intellectually dishonest" is nosebleed-pungent.
