No, I think I understood your point, and the point of the second article. (Thanks for that, by the way, I wasn't aware that Tesla had improved battery performance by keeping them warm. A neat idea.) I just didn't write my response very well, and for that I apologize.

What I was referring to was mostly the amount of energy the climate control system uses. Heating the cabin is going to suck some juice. I've talked to Chevy Volt owners about their winter performance and they say heating is their biggest problem in the winter. Even with the gasoline engine running to provide some waste heat for the cabin, they still get 50% of their normal range if they turn the heat on. If they're OK with driving to work wearing thick gloves and a winter parka while scraping the ice from the inside of their windshield, they only lose about 20% of their range which I presume is purely due to cold-weather battery performance at that point. Elon claims in the second article only 10% loss due to heating the cabin which frankly I don't believe and am chalking up to "MPG benchmarking nonsense." I admit I could be wrong, but I'd have to see some compelling numbers.

I believe my main point still stands though, which is that the government of Norway has built up the infrastructure and given people incentive to drive these cars. This doesn't exist in Michigan. Chargemap.com says that there are 1,416 charging stations in Norway. According to energy.gov, Michigan has 700. Meanwhile, according to the population density map on Wikipedia (1994 was the newest I could find, sadly) almost all the population in Norway is condensed into very small areas along the edges. Michigan is all over the place (except for the UP, which is noticeably lower). Assuming they only installed charging stations where there are people, this means that while in Norway, you likely have access to a charging station wherever you drive, unlike Michigan. So basically, we're comparing apples to kumquats here and you can't just point to the popularity of Tesla as proof of anything other than Norway's government was forward thinking.
That makes sense from a system architecture perspective but will application developer need to write in that language or can they just write in EGL and GL?
> I wouldn't criticise the Catholic healthcare system, it has helped too many people for that.

The idea that doing good makes you immune to criticism for doing bad is particularly pernicious. Certainly, good that an institution has done and continues to do (especially insofar as it seems to indicate a generally positive intent) might shape the form and tone of any criticism of a bad thing it does, it shouldn't prevent such criticism altogether.
Cool idea. Is that really the only 3 places to check tho? npmjs, GitHub & sourceforge? Have to admit I did this just to see what places there where. How about packaging systems for other languages, like Composer for PHP, PyPI for Python? Or even OS's, like the Debian package repository?
And that's part of the problem. Some systemd parts makes sense for server, some make sense for desktop, but trying to select just those that fit scenario X is a pain in the behind.
iPhone is taking over the roll of the iPod. People don't want to carry around two devices, especially when it has redundant functionality. I bet the iPod line will probably die in the next few years.
what did you do prior to the advent of 10-band GSM radios?

I'm in the US and I've almost always bought cheap unlocked phones and SIM cards, but until recently I've had to hunt around to get the right variant of a phone for my preferred provider. Eg. T-Mobile uses 1700/1900/2100Mhz, AT&T uses 700/850/1700/2300.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_frequencies#United_Sta...

The latest iPhones and some other phones now have radios that cover all frequencies, but those radios are expensive and typically only come on phones that cost more than $700.
I also thought this was somehow related to Google's Vitess. I was rather excited at the prospect of Postgres compatibility, which I know they've been working on, and which we use in our business.
This article makes the case that coffee is "bad" for people due to sugar and caffeine. The sugar part I understand, but caffeine is found in teas as well, and the last I knew, it's impact on the body was only temporary. Outside of that, black coffee, from what the research I have read, is very healthy for a lot of people.

> it takes a 1-meter pendulum 1 second to swing from side to side, no matter how high you raise it

If I remember correctly, this is true if sin x = x; IOW, "how high you raise it" is exactly what takes you away from this approximation being true.

Also, the meter was also originally defined as 1/10 000 000 of the distance from the north pole to the equator. It just so happens that these two come pretty close (it turns out that they had a big error in their measurement; a quarter-circumference of the earth is closer to 12 000 km than 10 000).

Detroit also got 95 inches of snow last year. The average temperature in Norway is NOT way colder than Michigan. In fact, they look quite similar. http://www.usclimatedata.com/climate/detroit/michigan/united...

Detroit is also one of the Southern cities in Michigan. Average temperatures in tromso (https://weatherspark.com/averages/28894/Troms-Norway) are actually warmer than in Marquette. (http://www.weather.com/weather/wxclimatology/monthly/graph/U...)

In Michigan's upper peninsula it's not uncommon to get 2 or 3 times that much snow.
We use Docker to deploy on Aptible, and this makes our projects entirely self-contained. With a Dockerfile in the project directory, the entire build and runtime environment is now explicitly declared.

With "git push aptible", we push the code to the production server, rebuild the project, and run it in one command.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I see Coda fitting in between the poweful IDE's produced by JetBrains (ItelliJ, WebStorm, PHPStorm, etc.) and text editors. I think one issue for Coda is that development workflows (especially web development) changed significantly since version 2 was released in 2012. Coda is still a very nice application if it fits in your workflow.

Political corruption like this is seen as being so common place here that the media largely ignores it.

Also, the US is a BIG place. There are 4 states in the US with larger populations than the Netherlands. However, news is generally distributed at the national and local levels (local news stations and national media outlets). Very few people watch local news anymore, so local news tends to be more like Buzzfeed than informative. National news is headed that way as well.

Overall though, people aren't interested in stories about corruption. So the politicians get away with it, because stories about OMG EBOLA WILL KILL YOU draw more viewers than yet another political corruption story.
- I haven't seen one media story about this yet, outside of social media.

I also live in michigan and both of the major detroit newspapers had this on the front page early this morning [0][1].

- Tesla isn't a name brand here like Ford or GM. In fact, if you asked a lot of people if we should help the Big Three with this sort of legislation, you might be surprised by the answer. Remember, they generate a LOT of jobs in this state: not just the Big Three, but the tier 2 and tier 3 manufactors. While I think logic would win out in the day, I wouldn't assume that everybody in Michigan _wants_ Tesla. It isn't in their best interest.

This is about helping dealerships, not manufacturers so you'd think that any support for the Big Three manufactures wouldn't correlate with support for this bill.

Since SolarCity is already a public company, they can use a short-form registration statement called an S-3. Information that is available in the company's other filings and can be incorporated by reference (the SEC's version of D.R.Y.).

The costs are still higher than doing an unregistered offering, but are much lower than doing the company's first registered offering.

Even though the article calls this "crowdfunding," this offering is not being conducted using the new JOBS Act crowdfunding provisions.

To be fair, they've made it very clear how it works:

1) They have optimized the (existing?) CSV import code to use SSE instructions, for faster CSV import

2) For a sufficiently complicated query, they will compile it to native code using LLVM. They presumably precompile most of Postgres (or at least the execution parts) to LLVM IR, and then convert enough of the execution plan into code so that the LLVM optimizer can optimize it (inlining, branch prediction, dead code elimination etc). If they are able to persuade LLVM to optimize the per-row decoding, I think that could be a huge win.

It's a great accomplishment; I do wish they had contributed it to Postgres, but I can't blame them for not doing so (they need to eat!).

In my case, I found the Wayland concept very compelling from the beginning. I had thought X had become bloated and needed a replacement. The Wayland approach seemed to be a huge simplification and in need of developers to bring it home. From my POV it looked like Mir happened because Canonical agreed about X and thought Wayland looked like a nice idea but they had slightly different ideas and forked for reasons I never really understood. After reading this interview I still don't understand. A fork without clear purpose can seem like a waste of resources and market fragmentation and that will lead to some resentment. I suspect some of it is related to their desire to support closed-source blob drivers and I can understand that, but I also had enough of that world and don't want anyone to support it. In the end, I personally don't hate Mir, but I still don't understand why they're doing it. Either way I look forward to running a simplified desktop without X.

Cool! Adding them right now to txt file, i will implement it today/tomorrow
I think it just comes down to this being an extremely conservative field, and these systems get implemented based on past experience.

Before MH370, basically nobody anticipated having to search for a commercial airliner with no idea where it went besides that it was vaguely somewhere within a continent-sized patch of ocean. The 30-day period was considered to be enough. Even with MH370 it could have been enough if the Malaysian authorities hadn't been so unbelievably incompetent as to waste an entire week searching the wrong ocean when they had data which definitively showed it went elsewhere.

It's similar to the question of why airliners don't periodically report their position using GPS and satellite data, since they basically have the capability already. The answer is that nobody really thought it was necessary, since tracking airplanes through other means worked fine right up until it didn't.
Do systemd even have such a "inert" lib?

Best i can tell everything happens via dbus (to be replaced with kdbus), and that again requires that systemd is running as pid 1 (as it will refuse to run as anything else, unless it is inside a namespace governed by another systemd as pid 1).
Proposal Could Alter Use of Apps to Dispatch Cabs in New York City
Not a scientific measure by ANY measure, but a similar core I googled appears to kick out about 200 bogomips whereas a virtual Xeon E5-2690 v2 core on one of my machines knocks out 5984 bogomips.

I have 20 of those Xeon cores and 128Gb of RAM in a 2U.

Comparing the ratio of bogomips you'd have to get 598 of those ARM machines in a 2U to get the same bogomips.

Like I said this isn't even slightly scientific but is at least interesting trivia.
I am not going to comment on this specific case.

But I wish the mob mentality would just stop. People that feel offended or that get their feelings hurt start a campaign to publicly destroy a person's life and/or career.

since there are no laws preventing this and pretty much no consequences for the person that starts these campaigns, the best thing to do is set an example. I would use data mining techniques to figure out where it originated and then use my own creativity to show the person/people that there are real-world consequences for these types of actions.

5K is great an all, if your GPU and connection interface can handle it.

It takes roughly 17.2Gbps of bandwidth to drive a 4K @ 60 fps signal in a single stream (Single Stream Transport); DisplayPort 1.2 has just enough bandwidth to support a single 4K @ 60 fps SST stream, but 5K is far too large for the standard. This iMac comes stock with an R9-M290X(2012 GPU) which supports up to DisplayPort 1.2. To get the bandwidth needed for 5k@60hz on DP1.2, Apple would have to overclock the DisplayPort signal by 50-100% on single stream transport.

It seems like the M295X upgrade is a necessity for this thing to render well.
Responsive Images: The Ultimate Guide
The folders are almost blinding to look at with the brightness all the way up.
Could you explain this more? I think my confusions stems from where the config comes from. Regardless of whether I have a bit-for-bit image or a vm created from a bunch of script commands, the immutability disappears when I apply the config.

So for my example If I have a role that specifies one instance of a a galera server. I have to config each one with the other servers in the pool. And each config will be dependent on the other server's config. So is Docker the first part (get the galera server instance running) and then there is some 2nd part that does the config so the instances in the cluster work together?
Ah OK thanks.
I, a guy from Mexico, never heard of it before. I did hear about Yosemite though.

Farther than that, I bet. It's pretty safe to assume that all of those things are already written on a few informal systemd roadmaps.
Zen and the Art of Machine Learning
But the electorate could at least do some simple mathematics and rudimentary cost-benefit analysis. Why does the US spend disproportionately more addressing (supposedly) terrorism than it does road safety? Why do people fear crime when it's at historically low levels? Why can politicians get elected by making economically, or even mathematically, impossible promises? I think that at some point you have to consider whether the voter is complicit in the situation the US is in by being wantonly, even willfully, ignorant.
AMD's New Female CEO Paid Less Than Her Predecessor
Thanks for the info. I perhaps have fallen into the trap of devaluing "app store" software given the effort needed to write it.
I wonder if the development of this idea will be hampered because of the ARM architecture, or if on the contrary it will boost ARM compatibility from developers. They claim they can have a better density of instances with physical ARM chips than with virtualized x64 instances, and still use less power. If this takes on it can be amazing.
It really depends on your workload. If your working-set fits into memory and is read-mostly, your I/O is basically irrelevant. Even if you're not in-memory, if you are doing mostly sequential reads (like the OLAP queries they are benchmarking), each drive can do ~200MB/second, so it is not too difficult to become CPU bound if you are doing any significant processing on each row (particularly if your row size is small!)

For OLTP queries, particularly with working-set > RAM or lots of writes, your disk I/O is probably the bottleneck (probably your IOPS, actually, which is why SSD can be so valuable). Pretty sure they're not targeting that use-case though!

> I don't really understand this attitude. HBO paid for the shows to be created

So?

It's real simple: copyright is not a fundamental human right. It is a privilege granted by the public to creators for specific purpose, and if the public feels that purpose is subverted, or even if they just are in a shitty mood, the privilege can and should be revoked.

I don't understand your attitude. You seem to equate "people not paying" with theft, which sounds like something a small child would come up with. HBO hasn't paid me squat... are they stealing from me?

>so how is it that the "public" owns it?

This too is simple. If I own land, and I lease it to you for 75 years (you pay up front), who owns it?

I do. You still do not own it. You can do (most) anything you want with the land, you can use it to make a profit by using that land... but at the end of 75 years, you still have to surrender that land back to me.

Copyright works like this. Have you never heard of the goddamned public domain? What do you think that was, exactly? The public owns the work. The copyright holder only has a temporary interest in the work. It's like you've never bothered to think about any of this. You just swallow all the bullshit anyone shovels into your gullet.
Why are you using Debian then? Debian is about flexibility, they build for an insane multitude of architectures and they offer Hurd and FreeBSD kernels even! With every package imaginable, Debian maintainers already invest a lot of work in supporting all of this. They work very hard to automate tests and builds in order to minimize this effort level and manage to create a high quality, flexible system.

If you don't want flexibility but instead want a single ascended choice system like on OS X or Windows, use RHEL or one of the forks of it instead. Debian may simply not be the system for you.
