Interesting that the Honda Accord and Honda Civic are (or rather, were) the two most stolen cars. Is that because Hondas are more reliable (so there's more old Hondas on the road) or because they're easier to steal?
Yes, you can make use of extra bits for metadata like type tagging for treating objects as value types and GC information.

I haven't encountered a Lyft fist bump attempt (in SF) in at least a year.
It's not only about memory:

"In short, the improvements to Apple's runtime make it so that object allocation in 64-bit mode costs only 40-50% of what it does in 32-bit mode. If your app creates and destroys a lot of objects, that's a big deal." [1]

One example: in 64bit NSNumber and (short) NSString objects on iOS can be stored completely in a pointer (tagged pointers) on the stack without having to create anything on the heap. That's possible because the size of a 64bit pointer is large enough to contain the required information. Creating and accessing one of these objects becomes far faster. Based on what I gathered at WWDC this year, Apple is also inclined to move as many various objects there as possible (as long as they can be stored in a 64 bit pointer).

Once you can install arbitrary programs on a device (or a single program, the firmware) you should treat these devices with a general mistrust.

The main problem here that you can't use your usb devices at public places safely, since they can patch your usb device's firmware at will. The problem here that you use your trusted usb device on a not-trusted computer which can do anything it wants with your device's firmware. There should be an approval mechanism directly, physically on the device to prevent this.

For example on usb thumb drives there could be a switch on the device which turns it to "firmware upgrade mode".

Some people have problems to distinguish between languages and the multiple ways they can be implemented.

The fact that ART makes use of dex bytecode as portable executable format[0] complicates the matter for those not versed in compiler design.

I imagine the additional cpu registers (general purpose and floating point) are handy for crypto and encoder/decoder stuff.
I am a MS employee waiting to move to the US. Just so frustrated by the system. After 15 months I've fallen in love with Vancouver. I come from Australia. Yes, the winter sucks, but as Engineers we spend a lot of time indoors and it doesn't make a huge difference.

Given that Bitbucket has to spend time on fixing performance problems caused by still using basic auth for their API (rather than allowing multiple, revokable API tokens), I don't have too much hope that they'll get around to fixing the most popular, important issues on their own tracker, e.g. mostly useless (and poorly documented) webhooks:
https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issue/7775/post-service-do...

While Bitbucket is popular as a cheap (in every sense) clone of GitHub, in many cases you get what you pay for. Paying for GitHub is worth it in terms of less frustration compared to using Bitbucket in general (plus their webhook/integration support and UI is exemplary), but are other services, such as GitLab, any better?

Apple Poaching Case: The Difficulty of Proving Damages
The problem is proving damages. you have to figure out: what % of the total number of employees could have been targets of poaching and suffered potential monetary losses from the no-poaching agreement. Hint: it's not the janitor, the chef, the secretaries,

Then you have to figure out how much wages/compensation was theoretically lost over contravening period. With the exception of superstar employees, it's probably not that much .

The prosecution didn't have a very strong case and judge Lucy Koh demonstrated judicial malfeasance by rejecting the settlement agreement. The correct ruling would have been to throw out the case due to a lack of provable damages.

I'm looking at it from a legal perspective, which tends to be lacking by the media that is more concerned with hype, sentimentalism, and page-views than impartiality.

64-bit support on ARM entails the implementation of AArch64 - not just widening the current registers to 64-bits and nothing else.

AArch64 has a better instruction set and more general purpose registers (31 vs 16), so applications recompiled to target AArch64 should see performance benefits even if it only uses 1 MB of RAM and never encounters integers greater than 2^32.

maybe it's not much that people change jobs as much as new people that don't pick up the trade?

I.e. you never start stealing cars cause it doesn't seem as lucrative and is riskier than just selling drugs.

Well, it's hard to compare with "all the other android power saver apps", as there are many ways to save power. Comparing with the apps that shut down Internet connection, BX Power tries to by smarter by observing the accelerometer (detecting movements to new locations = new network environments) and it also monitors the WiFi connection more deeply (IP connectivity check by HTTPS connection to big sites). In future we plan quick bandwidth estimation and seamless roaming between WiFi and mobile. BX Power is backed by a scientific research project.
I wish bicycle theft was tackled in a similar fashion. A combination of factors seems to be at play here: Photo ID required to sell the car and technological hurdles that are too hard to overcome for small criminals. With embedded computer chips being so cheap nowadays, surely it should be possible to embed some sort of tracking system in bicycle frames.

Design for breakpoints
Hondas are known for their reliability. If you don't crash it or trade it in, a Honda can easily go 200-300,000 miles and last for 20+ years. #3 and #4 on the "most stolen cars list" are the Toyota Camry and Corolla, which are the other cars most known for their reliability.

If you're looking to steal a car built before 1997 (17 years ago), there are relatively few other makes that are still on the road. Cars from American automakers rarely make it past 100,000 miles (about 10 years of normal driving) in workable condition; there are simply fewer cars out there to steal.

Linus has said that the pain point actually starts around 1GB, especially when using a 3/1 userspace/kernel address split. At 1GB, you can't map the entirety of physical ram into kernel address space simultaneously, since you also have memory-mapped IO taking up space. Let alone mapping the same physical memory to multiple virtual addresses with different cache attributes, which is useful because approximately none of these SoCs have full cache coherence across all hardware blocks.
I find using a browser to do this type of tasks intensely frustrating.

Just out of curiosity, what town or city do you live in? How many times has it happened to you?
In practice, yes. In technicality, Apple probably could have done it already if they needed to.. Samsung has an ultrabook that's smaller than the 13" MacBook Air and rocks a 3200x1800 screen: http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/pcs/NP940X3G-K01US .. I've been tempted to get one to Hackintosh, but I just know it'd be flaky as all get out.
Not better as such, but have more value due to higher demand. Both cars have sold well so there are more out there that need repair from time to time and there are other models out there with the same (or compatible) parts, not just other civic/accord variants.

The age of a model can make a difference too when breaking for parts: newer cars will be covered by warranty, those not long past warranty are likely to be more reliable than those a couple of years older. After a few more years the value drops off because people will start to replace more than repair, so demand for parts falls.
The marketability of their parts means that there are a lot of legally-owned Hondas which, of course, need parts replaced at times. And because everyone knows there are a lot of Hondas, the owners know it's easy to find a second-hand part from a junkyard or ebay to save money and thus for Hondas there exists a particularly lively market for old parts.

I always buy second-hand parts whenever it makes sense. It doesn't work that well with less popular cars, obviously. Either there aren't second-hand replacements that are easy to find or they're still too expensive (because of said scarcity...) so it makes sense to buy a new replacement part with warranty.

Just looking without touching rarely (never, to be honest) triggers any anti-cheating systems. It's madness enough trying to stop people touching, trying to stop them looking reliably is futile.

In the Netherlands / Amsterdam it happens all the time - to be fair, people have adjusted to it, all you see is very cheap old bicycles, and it's not uncommon to just steal someone else's bike if your own gets stolen.

Five quick tips for startups and entrepreneurs
> I think that Uber, as someone else noted, is a company run by assholes.

This is a common theme, that there are a lot of arseholes running growing companies, from which I conclude that being an arsehole brings something to the business. Certainly arseholes tend to be determined in the pursuit of their goals which is useful when those goals overlap with a company's needs, particularly as a newer business grows.

Of course it might not bring something to the customers, the workers, or the general public, hence we think they are arseholes but the board of the company see them as useful go-getters.
With recent legalization of weed, I'd be interested to see what happens to those figures. At the very least I'd expect to see a lot less people getting arrested for having small amounts of weed on them.

That sounds awfully low for American automakers. What exactly happens at 100,000 miles?

Generally cars will go through their first big part replacement cycle between 60-100k, these are wearing parts that come to an end at that age. That can cost a couple of thousands but that's just part of normal maintenance and will be 10x cheaper than buying a new car. These Hondas and Corollas sure as hell go through this phase and the next replacement cycle happens maybe another 100k later.

It's my impression that even these cheap little cars in Europe (such as Fiat Punto) can easily go 200,000 miles if only serviced so 100k sounds a bit odd. I've also assumed that the appeal to American cars with their big blocks is because they're built to last and eat hundreds of thousands of miles; this assumption might be outdated, however.
