One thing I learned from Alaska State Troopers is that there are charities who will come pick up Moose roadkill in Alaska and process the meat for needy families. Pretty cool.
I believe 2560 is the post-coding bandwidth. Links are usually 3.125 Gbps before coding.
" ... when you’re reading a linked page, you may still be “at” awesomestuff.com, as clicking the back button on your browser can instantly confirm. Effectively, awesomestuff.com has stolen content from newyorker.com "

This I think is based on misunderstanding of how http and the web work.

Somebody at awesomestuff created a link to newyorker.com. They basically just told you the ADDRESS of newyorker.com. They created a ROAD-SIGN and YOU followed that. You clicked the link and the website newyorker.com willingly served you the content. That content was NEVER COPIED to the server at awesomestuff.com.

So only thing newyorker could accuse them of doing is telling people their website address. If they have told you that address and you write it down and copy that surely that is not copyright infringement because New Yorker has NEVER CLAIMED they own the right to their website address. It is public information.
Why do you think more women graduate? Why complain that women have it better than actively trying to make it better for men? I'm trying to figure out why you have such a skewed view of society. You're certainly incorrect about how trans people are treated, especially with authorities.

What do you mean men don't have universal voting rights? Are you talking about felons?
Slimmer, but also just more efficient in some respects. The Nordic countries aren't afraid to experiment and innovate, which is perhaps the real Nordic model.

Interesting that you take exception to my use of the word state. I generally regard the word interchangeable with any sovereign territory outside of a US context, as does much of the international relations field.
No single worst one: just all the sordid "Fermi questions" designed, it seems, to make the interviewer feel smart -- so godawful smart, in fact, that he can read your soul like a blueprint based on how you answer a captive whiteboard session about sorting a quadrillion bowling balls using only tinker toys and yard of string; sieving primes using roman numerals; or whatever might strike his fancy at the moment.

CoAP or Constrained Application Protocol for IoT/M2M is being defined by the IETF is on top of UDP. One of the reasons is UDP's simplicity thereby making it easy to implement on microcontrollers. I guess there should be more love for UDP coming.
It seems like this is checking for undefined behavior in the binary that is produced (accesses to undefined memory, division by zero), rather than behavior that is "undefined" by the C standard (it's an signed int, which the standard says is undefined on overflow, so I'll optimize by silently removing your overflow check).

See here for more: http://blog.llvm.org/2011/05/what-every-c-programmer-should-...

At first I was excited, because I thought this sanitizer would help with these cases, which I usually find much harder to debug than a division by zero or a dereference of a NULL pointer that causes an actual crash. Am I wrong? Does this sanitizer actually help with these cases? Is there anything else in the pipeline that will?

The US Constitution's Bill of Rights DO NOT IMPOSE ANYTHING ON PEOPLE. They are expressly written to IMPOSE ON THE GOVERNMENT. They DO NOT CONFER RIGHTS. They state certain unalienable rights of men, and RESTRICT WHAT CAN BE PASSED AS LAWS in relation to those rights. Or, they're supposed to, anyway. I don't blame you for getting it wrong. Most of the citizens of the US miss this as well. They're not a bargaining chip for "more rights." They were supposed to set hard limits against government abuse. Oh well. The NSA has made a laughingstock of the 4th Amendment in particular, and that's just an easy example.
I am in Silicon Valley and Silicon Valley won't help you much. What does help is talking to anyone who is your target customer...unless the early adopter Silicon Valley crowd is your target market.

Find where your target customer hangs out, maybe forums, blogs etc and approach them there. Start blogging about your idea and people will be able to find you easier. You'd be surprised what kind of opportunities may come your way if you just start putting your thoughts out there.

When packets are being sent too fast the sender needs to be slowed down. Otherwise the buffers would just fill up. And in traditional TCP, the only thing that tells the sender this is dropped packets.

The smart solution you're looking for is TCP ECNs - a way for the routers to say "I'm buffering it for now, but you'd better slow down". If you're running linux it's a kernel setting you can enable (they're disabled by default as some routers mishandle them).
>I'd say the scientific consensus is that blood cholesterol (particularly small-particle LDL) drives heart disease

Blood cholesterol is a natural component of blood and is synthesized by all animal cells because it is an essential component of cell membranes. If you had no cholesterol in your blood you would be seriously ill.

Abnormal levels of cholesterol are associated with heart disease but it is not clear if they are the prime cause. The heart disease and abnormal cholesterol may both be caused by something else. There is evidence that excessive activation of the bodies inflammatory system may be more of a root cause.

To be fair, free R+CRAN is also capable of all that stuff, not to mention that it can be easily compiled with ICC using MKL (provided that one has a license for them, but most academias have).
> our recommended approach of “one app per container.” Instead, we’re responding to users who’ve told us they sometimes need helper processes

How does this work?

I have an iPhone 5 with Sprint, and I thought I was more or less locked in because they used CDMA. I thought I would need a new phone if I wanted to switch to anything else.

I don't think it's so much criticized for this, as people appealing to authority - witness upstream, where someone says 'you have to admit, there's a lot of leg work done, the videos look impressive' - which says nothing about the content or message - to which someone says "well, yes, but this isn't about 'how professional a video series can you produce given $160,000+?'.
> On a platform that doesn't have alignment requirements, it's not a bug to access misaligned data

Consider the following statement:

> On a platform that has well-defined signed overflow, it's not a bug to perform signed overflow.

If you've ever cranked up GCC's optimization settings on a program that performs signed overflow, you know this simply isn't true.

In general, the fact that the underlying hardware supports a certain set of machine semantics does not guarantee that the implementation will extend the semantics of the C or C++ abstract machine to match. It of course may do so—after all, it may do whatever it pleases once your program exhibits undefined behaviour—but unless you are specifically targeting your implementation's C- or C++-like dialect instead of ISO C or C++, accessing unaligned memory is a bug.

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

I agree that these should be adopted, but disagree that it should be ubsan which does so. These are statically detectable errors, so it should be the compiler which implements the detection, be it as a QOI extension or as part of the language standard.

Was it the Displaylink<->Dual-DVI adapter? Ugh, that was broken for quite a few versions for 2011ish-era devices as soon as Mavericks came out. It took them a few versions to actually fix that up, almost as if they hadn't noticed it was broken.

I'm tempted to try a test install separate from my regular install after getting burned on that last time.
Nowhere near 100%. Most people pay their taxes not because they're rationally responding to threat of force but because they think it's the right thing to do.
> It sounds as if you're talking about the difference between the average or the median.

It's more subtle than that. Both average and median refer to a number, so you have to decide how to turn "driving ability" or "moralness" into a number. Two ways of doing that are to simply sort all people, and then use their ordinal as the number. In that case, average and median would be the same. Another way is to actually assign a meaningful number to each person, but there's not an obvious way to do that. You could choose an arbitrary proxy stat, like how many traffic accidents you've been in or how many people you've murdered, but then you're going to end up with a massively uneven distribution such that a large majority of people are tied for "the best" and thus the majority of people can accurately say they are above average.
NVIDIA are easily the ones holding it back at this point. Both AMD and Intel have OpenCL 2.0 support on windows, and Nvidia hasn't even shipped support for OpenCL 1.2. Nvidia obviously want OpenCL to die off and CUDA to do well.
>Passing cursors quickly became tedious when trying to change code. If a function suddenly needed access to IO the cursor had to be passed down through every function above it in the callstack.

This is the function-calling train issue and what happens if you try to make a sort of quasi homoiconic language ("Hierarchical organisation of data complects the data itself with the common access paths.") and attempt a push-pull approach to programming (you push the data down into the hierarchy) with traditional data scoping through parameters.

The bad is not the hierarchical organization of data. That is the correct direction.

The bad is trying to use a traditional scoping approach to what is effectively a homoiconic type language. Homoiconic type systems need a different scoping approach.
You already made it far beyond what I ever achieved. I aimed at a XML-based file format description and that gets messy pretty quickly once you have to express expressions. After the initial friction of having to write a parser, going with a custom language seems way more promising. I always wanted to peek under the hood of Wireshark and see how they do it - do they have specialized code for every protocol or do they use an abstract protocol description, too? I never did it. I hope your project matures, there is a lot of space in this niche.
You know higher numbers are worse, right?
"In the case of many books and photographs, the rights holders are unknown; in other cases, it’s expensive to track down the heirs or the legatees or the firms, possibly no longer in existence, to whom the copyright belongs."

There's people who take advantage of this. I've seen more than a few people claiming they own the copyright, while when asked to provide proof they never respond. Ebay is loaded with people who are falsely claiming copyright protection. Ebay seems to take the stand, "Well this dude was the first one to scan it to PDF, he must own the copyright?"

This may be device specific. On my 5 year old iMac full screen is smooth enough I can't detect its individual frames. It takes about one second.

Yes, I've never had OS X crash as often as Mavericks. And some of the crashes are completely repeatable.

For example, open a lot of windows (20 terminal windows, 5-6 projects in Sublime, a bunch of browser windows used to test apps), turn on mission control and it just crashes every single time. I haven't done more test to figure the exact number of windows until it crashes but I know that it does for my workflow.

Admittedly, I tend to have more windows opened than most people, but then again that's what I have 16GB for.

I've also noticed that while expose was always smooth, mission control just doesn't work for me. If it doesn't crash it's dog slow, especially if it switches from integrated GPU to dedicated GPU just when I open it.

I feel you should ask the question the other way around. What is a good interview question given the scarcity of them.

In general, most questions that do not involve what you are going to work on or what you have already worked on is bad. What you want to judge is how smart a person is around the topics that he knows and has worked on. Not on things that you expect him to know. A smart person will learn whatever is needed for the job.

> You see random weird things like marfan syndrome linked to higher IQ. Among the high IQ ashekanazim there are a bunch of weird neurological diseases.

In the small Ashkenazi population, yes, thanks to founder effects. In the general population, with no bottlenecks to force harmful variations to persist, why would there be large negative effects to any of the normal variation of IQ-affecting genes? They would have been selected against.

And you did not respond to any of my points about the general population or the observed lack of severe disease with higher IQs.
I can't speak to how everyone interprets the question, and I don't know if you have actual data on how people interpret the question (you mention that book, but I haven't read it). I can tell you that I consider myself to be a better than average driver because I have never been in an accident (as a driver) or received any traffic infractions, which is the interpretation you call "flat-out wrong." If I had been in an accident or received a traffic infraction, then I would have to actually consult data to determine whether I am above or below average. Until then, I think I have a very reasonable claim to being above average.
SIP signalling over UDP was a bad idea, especially with the mandatory TCP failover. SIP's actually a spectacular clusterfuck of a design overall anyways. It's actually impossible to implement SIP in an unambiguous manner on today's networks because even the parsing rules are so bad, that multiple, popular, stacks have incompatible ways of dealing with things.

UDP for RTP makes sense because transmitting packets is pointless. In case of packetloss, the end user has to interpolate the result either via software or in their head.

I'm all for exploring forbidden ideas, but your second paragraph doesn't follow from the first. For example, a much more plausible way for colonization to have advanced civilization is through memetics rather than genetics.
I wasn't suggesting that we scrap the Antitrust Division of the US Department of Justice specifically. You make a good argument that we still need them. However, there are many other areas in which the government could be scaled back without incurring a robber baron scenario. Do some googling for "regulatory capture" and you'll see what I mean. Simplifying the tax code and the bureaucracy that comes with it is one good candidate.

this was my first thought too... considering i had to hack my $6000 D700 mac pro into displaying 4k at 56hz instead of 60hz to avoid ridiculous noise/tearing on half the screen... I personally wouldn't touch 5k for another year at least. No way of knowing because it's not mentioned in the specs, but i'm guessing this new mac is limited to 30hz.
I went through a few of these. At least once the GPU burned up when it failed to go to sleep after disconnecting from my thunderbolt display and putting in my laptop bag for 18h.

I think I went through two MBPr 15" machines before I got one that didn't have the problem. I still think it's possible some software I had was triggering it initially, but once it happened a few times, even a clean install with nothing on it could trigger it. Was very frustrating.

> The odds that you can flip a few thousand genes without harm seem to me to approach 0 rapidly.

Yet, breeding works. Chickens and cows, for example, are scores of standard deviations away from their ancestors on some traits like weight or milk production, and while they may not be exactly as healthy or robust as their ancestors, they have hardly gone extinct.
Yes, but often you are better off isolating these processes from each other, and only allow communication over the network.

Most of the time these processes only need the network to communicate with each other. When there is a legitimate reason for processes to share the same filesystem, process namespace or network address (for example for debugging), that's when `docker exec` becomes helpful.
That's why it's on the iPad and not the iPhone, you're right.

The latest generations of iPads work with nearly (? I think there was one US carrier that was left out, as well as Canada maybe, I forget) every carrier, which was somewhat easier to do because the iPad is data-only, and the carriers data wireless technologies diverge less.
Have a look at stats and laws. It is the senate and judges who has this view of society. I am not complaining about women having it better (good for them), I am just complaining men have it worse.

I am saying that in most states being over 18, with clean record and mentally capable, does not automatically mean someone can vote (as women can).

EDIT: there were questions about voting right. I can no longer answer since I was down-voted to oblivion. And because I am obviously "full of shit" I will not add links, just three hints:

- Men has to register at two places, instead of just one.

- Voting for men is a reward, not a right

- I am more worried about student loans, not voting.
