You've got a good point there.

With the Nexus phones (previous versions at least) you could get them at a reasonable price direct from Google. Most of my friends bought direct from Google. I understand Apple let's you buy a phone direct as well, though they're prices aren't/weren't as reasonable.

Hopefully this helps to set the precedent that you can have your cake and eat it too (Have a reasonable phone at a reasonable price).
On my mid 2011 iMac ⌘ + F2 enables target display mode once something is plugged in to the mini display port. Nothing needed at startup.

Not sure about having to be an Apple keyboard- probably works with any keyboard as long as you know which key is mapped to command. (Usually the "OS" key).
Yes, just like they designed Ipad Retina screen, except its designed and manufactured by Sharp.
Well, they did think about making metric base-12, but in the hurry of the revolution, they left that out. It WOULD be more useful with base 12.

However, the nice water/gravity correpondence is really nice in practice (1 kg = ~ the mass of 1 L of water, 1 L = 1 dm cube). For instance you can easily estimate the weigth of something given its metric dimensions and the density of the material relative to water.
"is most coherent"
Of course it's clear which is most coherent, but what I'm trying to illustrate is how less obvious approaches may still demonstrate intelligence, I'll look up some more IQ test questions and find a different example to do this...

The Snowden releases have done exactly that - in a perverse way, they make me take many more risks online. "Everything I do is already being tracked, so I might as well search for that new Daesh (IS) video."
You don't have to use MST, just that most 4k panels manufactured intentionally mimic two panels so they can output two hdmi 1.4 displays to composite into the whole screen.

I imagine any HDMI 2.0 4k screens to not use it, and even if they are still on DP 1.2, they would start showing a single display.
It's been opensourced which as far as I can tell, means that the developers wash their hands now and leave to move on to new, easier and more fun things than writing a decent text editor. They delivered half of what they promised 1 year overdue. But I guess if you want something done now you're free to write it yourself ;)

I understand what happened in the Microsoft case - but it's important not to confuse this with an NSL. In the case of a search warrant, and Microsoft's court maneuvering's everything is done in secret, until it's executed (otherwise the parties could simply take action to avoid the warrant)- at which point everything comes out into the open.

In the case of an NSL, when it is served - the person who it's served upon is bound by law not to discuss it, and must keep it secret.

Totally different.

What do you mean by "support"? You can access HN through tor, though sometimes it is blocked (perhaps depending on which exit node you happen to be routed through).
I am pretty aware that C and C++ are going to outlive me, but that doesn't mean they will be the systems programming languages of choice until the Sun ceases to exist.

Being someone that enjoys C++, doesn't mean I have to agree with all design decisions.

Neither will I reject to use C, if that is what the customer pays me for, even if I dislike it. Professionalism comes before personal opinions.

identifying perceived “flaws” in the out-group’s appearance, practice or norms

This article contains racist "othering" of northern europeans, who are already a declining demographic on this planet. Enough.
It is a fascinating double-standard. Compare to a similar sentiment someone might express:

“I thought Obama would do a perfectly fine job, but it just felt inappropriate to have a black man as President of the United States.”

Such a person would be pilloried as a racist.

It's astonishing how often people imply or explicitly assert that white men don't understand what it's like to live in a society hostile to their race and sex. A cursory glance at, say, the New York Times shows that such hostility is in fact pervasive—even, bizarrely, among white men themselves.
I feel like you're putting this in a way that ignores the historical context in which copyright arose. Copyright came about in response to too much copying thanks to the printing press. The ultimate purpose of copyright was to encourage the progress of the arts and learning, yes — but the immediate purpose was was to make sure that authors would be fairly compensated for their work, instead of printers being able to just take any work they could get their hands on and profit off it without the creator of the work having any say in how his work was used or claim on the fruits of his labor. The idea was that authors were skilled workers practicing a valuable craft, and that the mere fact that distributors could ignore them in practice did not mean they should be entitled to do so with impunity.

Nobody ever though that nobody would create anything without copyright. The idea was simply that skilled creators were not being duly compensated for their work, and that if they were fairly compensated, they would have more time to devote to creating as well as more incentive to continue.
nobody says you have to use the Apple SIM. it's just a card. remove it and replace it if you do not like it.
If it's your data, you should keep it instead of handing it off a to a service. Especially a free one with no obligation to hold onto your data. The cool thing about data is you don't need to store it in just one single place.

> Ubsan should adopt a couple of other safety improvements from C++, ...

Ubsan is not a bucket for putting a bunch of "safety improvements", it's a tool for detecting undefined behavior at runtime. GCC has many tools for detecting problems in your code, and there are some options which enable several such diagnostics at the same time. Note that ubsan doesn't include asan, which (in my mind) is way more useful than ubsan.

However, an implicit conversion from void * is very common in C. As an observation, most C programmers do not cast the result of malloc(). If you use an explicit cast on your malloc() on Stack Overflow, C programmers will come out of the woodwork to explain not only why it's unnecessary, but why the cast can hide undefined behavior[1], and so you shouldn't do it! So this is a no-go. Maybe you can ask for it as an optional warning if you really want it.

The other one you asked for is already available: -Wwrite-strings. If you want an error, -Werror=write-strings.

I suggest browsing the docs, if you are interested in getting more warnings:

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.9.1/gcc/Warning-Options...

[1] If you forget to include <stdlib.h>, then you will get an implicit declaration for malloc() which returns int. An explicit cast from int to e.g. char* is NOT what you want. You can, of course, turn on -Werror=implicit-function-declaration. However, if you just omit the cast, you will always get an error because the int can't be implicitly converted to a pointer type.
interesting to note that countries in Africa with the longest history of colonization (e.g. Ivory Coast, South Africa) have the highest standards of living while those that were not colonized (Liberia, Ethiopia) have the lowest (which is saying something, by African standards). Hong Kong, a colony for 150 years, is one of the wealthiest places on earth.

I realize it's not fashionable to say, but the reality is some of us have been dealt a less favorable hand than others, genetically speaking, whether as individuals or as a group. And unfortunately, Reality doesn't have a very effective affirmative action program.
What functions benefit from the multi threading? The examples they give are matrix PCA and SVD, which is cool, but would this help normal library functions? (E.g lm() and glm())
Actually, it's not intrinsic to DisplayPort 1.2 that 4k displays must be driven with MST, it's just that for a long time the electronics to decode the full signal were not available, hence the hack.

Starting with the Samsung U28D590D[1], many 4k displays use single stream transport on DP 1.2.

Also, for 5k, you actually have to wait for DisplayPort 1.3 (if you want 60hz), because there's not enough bandwidth, multi stream transport or not. There's a neat bandwidth calculator at [2].

4k is 11.94 GBit/s without overhead, 5k is 21.23 GBit/s. DisplayPort 1.2 and 1.3 are 17.28 Gbit/s and 25.92 Gbit/s respectively.

This unfortunately means no 120hz 5k displays on even DP 1.3 without compression (which is supported).

The filters wouldn't make a difference here, since it's the toxins rather than the temperature doing the damage.
A lot of those flourishes were actually design affordances, though, visually denoting certain functions and making things more intuitive. Not a fan of the super-flat design trend.
That wasn't a comment about your account of history but rather your involvement in it. To put another way, would someone who is half-native hald-european be half-victim half-responsible, or is it just ridiculous to attribute blame for periods of history through descent?
Don't blame the app, blame the OS, the OS is suppose to insulate the app, it's not MSDOS, unless of course it runs as root then all bets are off.

shrug Just paid $750 for an iPhone 6, unlocked. The alternative was renting it from my carrier for a similar amount, divided into 24 months, and being handcuffed to them for unlocks and the like. By using BYOD pricing on my ATT plan, I pay less every month than I would on a subsidy.

Yeah, I'm not everyone, but arguing that "most people" won't do what I did is kind of missing the point-- they already DO pay that much, just not all at once. It's kind of crazier when you realize what people are paying without knowing it.

The subsidies are going away -- ATT and Verizon in the US are forcing people into their monthly payment plans -- which is kind of nice, because people actually see what they're paying instead of just seeing it "bundled".
Steve Sisler Interview on Unleashing the Power of Self-Understanding
Ask HN: What is the worst interview question you've ever been asked?
I've had quite a few that I thought were very dumb, especially given the context. I'm at a point where I'm starting to interview prospective employees so I'd like to avoid bad questions. The worst I can remember off the top of my head was "Do you have a sense of humor?" That was asked after a series of unfortunate events that made the interview an awful experience.

> You're selling people something they can "sell" to others (marketable skills).

Of course we are, but that's part of any career motivation so I'm not sure I see this as criticism. "I went to university to learn XYZ skills, which are marketable to the industry and people I want to work with...". At the end of Uni most people are lucky to get an internship. Students leaving our program are looking for exactly that, at best a junior position or their first couple small freelance contracts.

Its not that I disagree with the claim that many, most, maybe almost all bootcamps fail to educate their students on the status they leave the course in (before they do the course) and on how to effectively approach the industry, but that's business side unfortunately.

I also don't see it hurting the industry at all, but that's not what you're saying. What you claim is that it hurts the individuals who are misguided, therefore the guinea pigs. Totally fair. We work pretty closely with each student and though we might sell big at signup, the conversations before enrollment are all based around realistic expectations and getting them psyched to start the long haul towards a new career. Of course I could just be saying that, but its one way we try to define ourselves and the quality of our students.

I'm not sure I understand the Facebook comment. Do you work there? I had a friend at Facebook and there were all sorts of CPD programs available to him in different formats. He did several I believe...

I keep coming back to the topic of traditional education because I think that's where the saturation and awareness should be happening, instead of the bootcamp level. Lots of governments and school systems working towards this. We actually launched something today which is part of our first attempt at helping this effort along, providing training specifically designed for teaching teachers how to teach code, as that's currently the ed system's biggest barrier. Would love your thoughts on the concept, not as a business but as a way of advancing technology, filling the "skills" gap by creating early awareness, and then putting bootcamps in a position to advance people with perspective should it come to that...

Obese by what metric?

The back-and-forth of this discussion about BMI is entirely predictable, but doesn't it sort of miss the point? Isn't it possible -- and I mean this sincerely, even though it's wildly simplistic -- to just look at a human and determine if they're carrying around excess fat?

A lot of times when I hear people saying that BMI doesn't account for how much they exercise, I'm looking at the person saying it and they appear unfit. On the other hand, do we need BMI to tell us that a fit person is fit? What am I missing here?

There are 14.7 million pixels on the iMac's screen. The definition of a retina display is you can't discern individual pixels at normal viewing distances, so unless you're sitting with your nose against the screen or are using a loupe, you won't be able to see a single dead pixel.
Not sure that's the right number - I worked in a Mac shop (an engineering firm) with 20-30 users with 21" iMacs, served off a single Mac Mini server. If your users are just normal users, iMacs are fine. (Though the Macs did come under fire from the finance folks - taking the line that "equivalent" PCs are "industry standard" and a third of the price. I think this argument won out in the end, and the Macs all disappeared one day. It's a shame).
Excitability aside, I agree it is thoroughly negligent of Ubuntu (and Debian?) to ship with vhost-net disabled. This has been on in the EL/Fedora distros since the feature was added.

This makes me wonder how much Ubuntu is actually running cloud deployments. If it was so popular, surely someone would have hit this before.

It also makes me wonder what other basic fundamentals are completely backwards on this truly mediocre distro.

Anyway, you've solved this problem for yourself, log a bug and get this fixed for everyone.
My first exposure to programming was The TeXbook by Donald Knuth (back in 1990). I still remember marveling at how he always managed to come up with perfect names. Little did I know then (and experience has since delivered plenty of fails) that it really is a hard problem.
Anyone have experience trying to colo one of these? The $/GB and Ghz aren't bad when you depreciate the upfront cost of the mini over a few years.

I've seen hosting in the $35-50 range and nearly bitten the bullet several times because they'll let you run CentOS/VMware/etc and would thus make for great project boxes. The fact that the newer models lack a quad-core option is making me flirt with the idea again to get that horsepower while I still can. For example, I haven't seen actual specs on the 2014 model's i7, but I would suspect it's similar to the i7-4578U Haswell in recent 13" Macbook Pro's[1] which have a CPU Mark score of 5204 [2]. This seems like a step back compared to the 2012 i7-3615QM's score of 7344 [3].

If the former were a trade mark, I think the original photographer would win easily (although perhaps not for $2.5 million). The new picture is obviously done to replicate and look like the old one.

Originally in the UK market contracts were the norm. Then Pay-As-You-Go opened the cellphone market up to teenagers, people on a limited budget, and people who used cellphones infrequently. That combined with the release of the Nokia 5150 and Nokia 3310 phones drove the market away from contracts.

Plus in the UK the regulator is much more active in promoting competition (VNOs, Number Portability, tariff changes are all things the regulator has done to promote competition). In the US the regulator couldn't care less.

Could you please clarify? Do you mean that more than 50% of the eventual total lines of C++ have already been written as of today (Peak C++, anyone)?

Or do you mean that a very large percentage of eventual lines of C++ to be written in the future are expected to be endless variations and downright repetitions of the total C++ lines been written as of today?
At least in the part of Google where I worked, there wasn't much pressure, and people generally kept business hours. If you got in at eight you were one of the first in the office, and if you left at six you were one of the last in the office.

Twenty percent projects were a real thing, but less than five percent of engineers participated. As far as I could tell, side projects were not the way to get ahead. The people who advanced were the ones who did what their bosses told them, full stop. For all that Google makes a big deal about having an egalitarian peer-based culture, the end result was remarkably strict and top down. That Japanese proverb about nails fits Google to a T.
Sounds good. What I've mostly seen is that LDL, total cholesterol, and triglycerides seem to be highly correlated, and adding in any one of those three (assuming you also have HDL) gives the same accuracy, so the risk modelers usually just stick with total cholesterol since more patients know it.

For ratios, this particular model is log-linear:
risk = b^(w0 + w1log(cholesterol) + w2log(hdl) + ...)

So adding in variables to represent ratios would change the coefficients, but not the final risks.

For that last one, the "low cholesterol" bucket they allude to is people whose total cholesterol is <180 mg/dL. 180 mg/dL is exceptionally low, particularly for an older population. There's also a potential confounding effect when you study only total cholesterol (ignoring HDL)--your "low cholesterol" group of people includes a disproportionate number whose HDL ("good") cholesterol is also low, and who thus are actually at a high risk of heart disease according to models like the Framingham one.
The carriers should be required to tell the customer the total price, including the contract. Perhaps then the consumers would know what they are signing up to. And the contract length should be limited, given how volatile and fast moving the market is.
The upgrade to Mavericks totally borked my Displaylink adapter that I use to plug an extra monitor in. After some updates its finally stable but still not great. I'm afraid to upgrade again because who knows what will happen.
