Under the red flag requirement, they got to at least check or think about how identical the fork is.

Yea, if you fork Linux and your fork just happens to use a stolen logo. Obviously there is no reason to think Linux is infringing.

But if you are forking popcorn time, that is unreasonable to assume that the fork is going to be non-infringing.

A general assumption that forks are okay is not a reasonable assumption. They'll have to look at this on a case by case basis.

This is even easier when the infringing content is a file or code. There is no excuse for not removing the infringing file from all github projects. And it is easy to check the forks for containing the alleged infringing code.

The safe harbor is not there to protect people acting in bad faith.

Heh. Their "Upgrade Now" button:

"The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store."
I like it, good idea
Almost. The Internet does that. But home routers are notoriously buggy. UDP often gets bad treatment there. E.g. your UDP stream may have large gaps when one of the kids upstairs is uploading to facebook - their TCP traffic gets priority over UDP which is often just dropped. This is because you can generate traffic much faster than the router can dump it to your ISP, and the little buffers fill up.

Also there was an ATT home router that dropped every other UDP packet! Really! Its a matter of, if you don't test it, it doesn't work. And home appliances get tested on delivering web pages etc, not UDP streaming.
Sigh, I love the performance improvements, just wish they had made a larger format one. Can't wait for the ifixit guys to tear it apart. Looking at all the "air" in my old Thinkpad 750C reminded me of how far we have come in terms of making these things practically a single slab.

Hopefully they'll release an updated 5K version of the Thunderbolt Display. They haven't updated it in years, I was really hoping for it today.
Totally agree with this. Reaching the top level of anything takes time and dedication, but there is huge value to having a rudimentary understanding of code regardless of your professional focus.

Code is slowly becoming a mandatory part of education in primary and secondary schools in Europe. Do you think this helps approach the greater infrastructure of tech?
Hi folks. I am not a hardware nerd at heart. It appears this 'iris' GPU will not be able to do 4k display. Does anyone confirm?

Yes, L2013 even uses the old Ivy Bridge-E Xeons and it's due for an update to the Haswell v3 Xeons (note that v3 Xeons use different socket, too, LGA-2011-3 vs LGA-2011 for the v2).

If I were in the market for the Mac Pro and could afford to postpone, I'd wait until the next update which should get the latest Xeon processors with the new socket and Thunderbolt 3 (which will be used for Broadwell Xeons).
Considering Dell sells a display of similar quality, I can believe it.

Python Redis Queue Workers
There's a triplet that loosely describes protocols: { Reliable, Stream, Connection} Each can be true or false. So TCP is { True, True/False, True } and UDP is { False, False, False }. (TCP can be stream or datagram)

There are (were) other protocols possible but these are about all that's supported/tested these days.

Also there's fragmentation/reassembly issues with UDP. If you send a 30K UDP datagram packet, it gets sent as many Ethernet-sized chunks. The receiver is supposed to put them back together. If one is lost, the entire thing is lost. And to boot, Linux didn't do UDP reassembly at all until recently (last year?)

Shouldn't alcohol intake be a major factor as well along with smoking?
I don't know what needs to be explained. Apple believes the value of increasing the battery life beyond the typical work/school day + commute is less than the the value of having a device that is much easier to hold and carry + costs saved by not putting in twice as much batteries and paying for a thicker enclosure.
The MOBI version looks good on a Kindle, but I prefer the PDF on iPad because the PDF is print-quality. (This is due to limitations of the MOBI format and is not specific to the Ruby on Rails Tutorial.)
I can't believe you can't believe it. Have you heard of Apple before? If anything I'm a bit more perturbed that they max out at 32GB of RAM. My aging Mac Pro has more than that in it.

I imagine that they preferred shipping with a default 8GB and selling a $200/600 RAM upgrade than having a higher headline price.

(Incidentally, their 1GB phones still outperform phones that are one year newer with 2GB of RAM, double the cores and nearly double the GHz, so maybe they're onto something.)

> Yeah, there's really no excuse for not talking to the people at the company first. The only reason I can fathom would be that if Microsoft suspected the owner of No-IP to be actually involved with the botnet operators.

Or they knew that No-IP had long been aware of the abusive domains and had not done anything about them.

OpenDNS published a report on malware support domains in April 2013, identifying No-IP as the top provider of them [1]. No-IP posted a comment responding to that so we know they saw it.

Cisco published a report in February 2014 on dynamic DNS abuse [2], naming No-IP as a major provider for malware domains. No-IP posted a comment linking to a formal response on their blog [3].

The gist of their response is that they don't tolerate abuse, they actively work to find it and stomp it out, and they responsd quickly to reports sent to their abuse address, and they invite Cisco to send a report to their abuse address.

Ignoring well documented reports of abuse because they no not arrive via the right bureaucratic channel does not project the right image if you want to be seen as a white hat company.

Jokes aside, I'm wondering if the increasing demand for education in school systems and traditional education is the long term solution to exactly this problem.

My guess is for location services to provide better altitude accuracy than with GPS alone. That can be used to figure out if your on or below an overpass, if your on the second floor of some building etc and take elevation into account when exercising.

This is how congestion works: queues are not infinitely deep, so the only way to deal with congestion is to (at some point) start dropping packets.

TCP (that is, most TCP flow control algorithms) specifically uses packet loss as an indicator of network congestion / how much bandwidth is available, and will back off and retry dropped packets at a lower rate; hence why TCP continues to function (albeit at degraded performance). UDP has no such mechanism, hence you see firsthand the dropped packets. A well-written application should back off in such a scenario so as not to flood the network, but of course many won't.

(Of course TCP may very well be prioritized over UDP! It's just not necessary to explain your observations.)

Thoughts on Tor appliances
"Telling the world" I'm shocked at how hard people make it out to be BASED ON MUCH MORE THAN "purely" my "single personal experience" is not patronizing. Why would you assume it is based on my experience alone? I've referenced other examples elsewhere, including a self-made millionaire and mother of four - and there are countless others. Your response speaks much more to your personal experience of how hard it was for you.

I don't look down on fellow parents or treat them with disdain (nor do I consider myself superior). If anything, I think the notion people hold that WOMEN IN PARTICULAR cannot be effective or even exceptional parents AND entrepreneurs is patronizing.

Even more so, the suggestion that they are unworthy of the support provided to other entrepreneurs by virtue of said parenthood is patronizing. So I believe your [insert adjective of choice] response is misdirected.

If you are not offended by my comments, your choice of words and the tone of your response suggests otherwise.

> but it's more important that it takes desktop computing is finally moving on from ridiculous low res displays.

The question is, how long will it take until high res becomes available broadly? Apple had to create their own¹ display here, and I doubt they'll share the secret sauce lightly. I suspect they're already holding back, since I'm in search for some Hi-Res desktop display for some time now. Almost everybody cheats by simply upping the display size, instead of the pixel density. And it's not like the retina display hasn't been around for 2 years now!

It's either that, or they're simply scooping up all or a significant amount of the available supply for themselves.

I remember just how buggy Yosemite was when DP 1 was released. But it's come a long way, the third GM candidate for Yosemite is really stable, maybe one of the most stable OS X .0 release. It even has less lag for animations like for Mission Control for retina displays so maybe they finally figured out how to handle a Retina display.

The one thing I'm not a fan of is the horrible, and absolutely terrible animation to take windows fullscreen. It takes a proper 2 seconds for a window to go full screen. I just can't see the reason behind this. At least provide an option to disable this animation or provide a terminal command to speed it up like the mission control animations.

Handoff is one feature I use more than I thought I would. It still feels like a novelty but I'm glad it's there. I use it most to continue my emails on my Mac from the iPhone.

Airdrop on both iOS and the Mac is simply amazing. Now I don't have to wait for Photostream to sync between the two devices.

And the little things like Javascript for automation, built in actions for batch renaming and encoding media files inside the right click contextual menu, the dark mode all add up.

I'm also looking forward to Siracusa's multi-page review about Yosemite. He hasn't been a fan of transparency, so it will be interesting to hear his thoughts on it. I'm not a fan of it either but I like the transparency used in Yosemite. It's not as distracting and the dark theme really helps with that.

Intel NUC uses low TDP mobile CPUs. The new Mini uses regular TDP mobile CPUs. The fastest NUC tops at 1.3GHz with Intel HD 5000 graphics. The new Mini tops at 3.0GHz with Intel Iris graphics.

If you are refering to compact desktop computers there aren't many (none?) that use regular TDP mobile CPUs, have Intel Iris graphics and are virtually silent. The only ones that are similar or have better specs are the Gigabyte Brix Pro line of compact desktops and most of them are noisy or extremely noisy and have bad cooling solutions. I know because I've owned two and ended up selling both after only a few weeks. The only one that show promise is this [1] and I still have doubts that it will be any good...

My only issue with the new Mini's is that you used to be able to buy one with a quad core CPU and now that option is gone. Other than that...

To answer your question, yes! I would say with less reservation then most humans I know but I would not truly know until placed in a life threatening situation if I could follow through on my conviction.
Spec doesn't show what resolutions are supported...
This seems like a rather large oversight.
I am not proposing free market capitalism in fact I am not proposing anything. Systems as complex as the ones we talk about here evolve they can't be created and any decision we make have consequences.

I fundamentally believe the issue of inequality to be an issue of technology and therefore also believe the solution to be a consequence of technology.
I'm going to assume they started on this effort at the same time they started making loud noises about Aero and their "mini" antennae.

I agree that it seems strange to have both pay + ads, which is clearly a grab at both the money people paid to the cable/satellite company and the revenue they get from advertisers. I would subscribe to a service where it was free and the ads paid for it (like broadcast TV), or it cost money and had no ads (Netflix). My guess is that they won't be as successful as they would like, perhaps that is my hope. I would not be a fan if this pay and pay model became the norm.

Of course the Dish/DirectTV/Comcast folks are no doubt having fits about being disintermediated.

It won't because the bandwidth of TB2 cannot transfer the amount of data needed for a 5K display. The new Retina iMacs can get away with it because it can interface with the graphics output directly.
Random sidenote on this: if everyone have this mentality doesn't mean no one will look at the source?

Not sure how to address this, just a random thought.
Even if the GPU does, DisplayPort 1.2 doesn't support 5K displays.
They would have announced it today if that was the case. Currently there isn't a display transport capable of pushing that many pixels. DispayPort 1.2 can't do it on a single port and that's what Apple has MacBooks and Mac Pro.
As I mentioned in the other thread, there's just not enough bandwidth to drive at 60fps over a single bus / single cable with DisplayPort 1.2 without compression (DP v1.2 gives about 17.3Gbps usable bandwidth which is just not enough). The iMac allows them to bypass that bottleneck by interfacing directly with the graphics card.

My predication is that once we see Apple deploy Thunderbolt 3 / DisplayPort 1.3 (capable of 25.9Gbps usable bandwidth [1]), we'll see the Apple Cinema Display Retina.

The 5k display would be more versatile, however. Well, I guess that’s relative to …

I can understand why Apple is not in a hurry to sell this just as a display. This display could likely not be driven at all by all of their most popular Macs: all the MacBooks and the Mac mini. Maybe it would work with the Mac Pro, but that’s it. And that Mac Pro is probably not the best selling Mac, by a large margin. So they would basically sell this display that only works with a Mac Pro.

I can understand how that might seem like a wasted effort until at least a couple more widely selling Macs support the display. Maybe when the MacBook Pros can do it they will start selling just the display.

With the iMac the advantage is that Apple is delivering it with a computer that definitely can push those pixels, so you dodge all compatibility woes that will plague these high-res displays for a couple more years. It seems like the still had to get in there and do some weird custom stuff and maybe that’s just hard or impossible to do if you have to do it in a display that is hooked up to some random GPU from Apple’s past Macs.
And most modern OSes can finagle bits in the page table to remove the need for copying.

That tends to be more trouble than it's worth. It usually means flushing caches, locking lots of things, and having to interrupt every CPU. Unless it's a really big data move (megabytes) it's probably a lose. Mach did that, and it didn't work out well.
I couldn't disagree more!

I know great, long time and successful web developers who have never studied maths and CS! I think this really depends on your goals, and the complexity of what you hope to be building. If you want to be at the top of the software development field you may be correct, but if you want to be a really strong web developer working at startups, building your own light weight apps and products, or freelancing as a digital nomad and building portfolios and private e-commerce stores? You don't need any of that.

I think there are a lot of self taught and bootcamp taught developers who would disagree with you, and while you could argue they are all "sub par", you and I both know it takes a lot of people trying to find a few people who are genuinely talented. That goes for any skill! That's what makes YOU stand apart! But that doesn't make them or their own pursuits any less valid.
I don't think one is even possible until Intel releases Thunderbolt 3.

Transferring True-color 5120x2880 at 60 fps requires at least 25GBit/s connection, and no existing connections (on shipped computers) can handle that. The best ones currently are Thunderbolt 2 with 20 GBps, and DisplayPort 1.2 with 17GBps.

Only just a few weeks ago, DisplayPort 1.3 was released, which tops 32Gbps, and upcoming Thunderbolt 3 is promising 40 Gbps. Those two are finally making honest-60fps 27" Retina Display possible, so it should not be long until we see one. (Though of course that will require Apple to update all Macs with Thunderbolt 3 or DP 1.3 ports first)
yes but plug in a keyboard, mouse, and this leaves only 2 ports. Some USB sticks are girthy and will take up 2 slots, meaning you may really only have 1 slot to use. I'd of preferred one or two more USB3's instead of the second thunderbolt port personally.
Can't Upgrade My Mac Book Pro from Mavericks to Yosemite
Has anyone been able to upgrade to Yosemite? My App Store says Item is not available, however, I can see "upgrade button" on http://www.apple.com/osx/
I don't think their target audience sees it the same way.

Most importantly, technology/creative professionals that care about the ram and the apple platform will gladly pay the premium for 32gb.
I think the term "transnational" would fit what you are describing better than the term "truly remote." The US is a very large place. Someone working for an SF startup from their Florida home is just as "truly remote" as someone working from Mexico, Canada, etc.
Can their current Thunderbolt connections drive a display of this resolution?
It's a technical limitation, not an oversight. No current Mac can output that much data over a single port.
That was my first thought as well. I wonder if Apple has limited the refresh rate to something like 30hz or if they are banking on most apps simply using the downsized resolution instead of the full 5k. I can't imagine that card trying to play any modern game at anything close to that resolution for example.
Iris (such like the one in 13" rMBP) can't, Iris Pro (15" rMBP) can.
I think they might be waiting for a bigger refresh of the Mac Mini to power it
Dell could do something like that, but Apple wouldn't. It goes against their philosophy.
