While I understand what you mean let me try and clarify that a bit.

Running OS X under VMware Workstation is not supported by VMware and is not allowed according to apple's EULA. This probably was what you referred towards.

However you can run OS X legally and supported on VMware Fusion and VMware vSphere provided that the hardware it runs on is apple hardware.

Yes I realized that that by itself is probably no good for most of the hackintosh folks, but it is an alternative option if you have a need to run more as one OS X version and want to reduce the cost a bit.

Below is a direct link from the VMware compatility guide on OS X 10.9, you can change the details in the search if you want info about another OS X version.

> AVX-512 will bring support for per-instruction static rounding to mainstream CPUs.

That is a relief – this might actually make rounding modes usable. Unfortunately, it will only be usable on very new hardware, meaning that it's pretty hard to actually use in a language. Of course, as you point out, this is more of a hardware issue than a spec issue, but ultimately, I see one of the major responsibilities of a good spec to be ensuring that compliant hardware has all the primitives necessary to use features like rounding modes effectively. In my view, IEEE 754 has failed in this area. If a new version of the spec were to fix this, we would be in great shape – in 20 years.
> "web agencies" who build shitty typo3 pages en masse

This is what our initial success was built on. We had a two-pronged approach.

First, in the homeland of typo3, we got massive mileage out of our own CMS product which could do everything that was oh so painful with the usual products in this space. We became the "can do" guys, and we could do everything so much faster and more elegantly than the competition.

Our second angle was our stealthiness: since agencies are in the business of appearing way larger and more talented than they actually are, bringing in outside contractors was a serious loss of face for them. We offered to appear as internal agency staff in all customer interactions. We would go to on-site meetings in their clothing style, even. Technical customer support calls were transparently routed to our office, to complete the illusion that everything was done in-house at the agency.

Everything else we did wrong, though. We had too many employees, some of them were bad hires to begin with, and we worked them too hard, too. You can't keep a whole team in death march mode all the time. We founders were terrible bosses, as well. I was way too friendly to the point of being taken advantage of, another founder was just generally clueless about everything, and the third one was so harsh and troubled when he patrolled through the offices it actually looked and felt like he was captain Ahab tormenting his trembling crew. Then the budgets of the agencies crumbled suddenly, and almost over night there was just no more money. The little work we got came at unworkable margins. Agencies were poaching our employees. We took on big, risky projects just to stay afloat. One of our biggest customers went bankrupt and then sued us for everything they had paid for our services in the last 12 months. And they won (still a bit unclear how that was even possible, but I found out later their CEO was personal friends with the judge).

All in all, it was one hell of a learning experience. But there were some good times as well. And the freedom to work on something you care about is just priceless.

Yeah, that's the kind of thing I was alluding too. And tons of other colonial crimes besides.

>> Bit confused on one point -- so SoundCloud revised their ToS to deny downloads, but they kept the download URL in the API response? Amazing that after two different illegal take-downs it just kept getting back on top of the listings.

> I think they eat their own dogfood here. As far as I can tell, they have no special privileges for their owned and operated clients. If you for example look into the network panel when using the web client, you'll see that they directly access `api.soundcloud.com`.

But it is strange that they in their TOS for the website state:

"You must not copy, rip or capture, or attempt to copy, rip or capture, any audio Content from the Platform or any part of the Platform, other than by means of download in circumstances where the relevant Uploader has elected to permit downloads of the relevant item of Content."

In other words, they seem to allow users to download content that is available for download. So if I write my own web browser, I'm free to download downloadable content -- but not if I write an app for Soundcloud...

Or perhaps, it's this clause:

"(x) You must not rent, sell or lease access to the Platform, or any Content on the Platform, although this shall not prevent you from including links from Your Content to any legitimate online download store from where any item of Your Content may be purchased."

It's unclear to me how Soundcloud cannot get Firefox for Android banned under this clause as well... (well that would be insane, but you can ask for the desktop version of the site, and download from there?).

Note that this is the user TOS[1], not the API TOS[2] -- but that line is a little more fuzzy than they would like it to be IMNHO.

It doesn't preclude putting computer-readable data in the body of the response.

Their example is the error 'You do not have enough credit'. Surely their web server should be sending '403 You do not have enough credit' and not '403 Forbidden' ?
These are all straw-men. "Hitler was evil" is an absolute judgement of Hitler, and not in any way of the events and people surrounding him. His blame doesn't absolve anyone of any of their responsibilities for the Holocaust or any other incident in history. It is but a singular example to make my point.

Evil is not a purely religious construct. For it to be, so then would morality - but it's not. Do you believe that, in general, murder and rape are wrong? If you do, you have defined a moral compass - even if you're staunchly atheist. It's true that religion often comes with a pre-defined morality that is expected to be adopted, but as humans, we define morality and what that means to us all the time outside the context of religion.

Indeed, zero-based indexing is sort of a ridiculous concession to the hardware (whether that be data/address line labelling by power of two or offsets from a memory location) if bit-twiddling isn't your goal. (Even binary operations don't necessarily imply bit-twiddling at the conceptual level, even if that's what's going on under the hood.) We've just become rather used to counting by calling the first thing zero (and somehow have managed to forget that we had to learn that).
"if you don't mind taking next-to-forever to get there."

If you want to be a (permanent-ish) space colonist that isn't wasted time.

As a counter example its continually proposed as a training / colonization system on short hops. If you want to test your 12-year rated life support system for a run to Jupiter, rather than sitting in low earth orbit the whole 12 years (boring!), why not try a leisurely ITN flight to the moon, in fact why not leave the ship/station in moon orbit when you're done, as a moon orbiting station?

If something goes horribly wrong, keep some large delta-v chemically fueled beast of a lifeboat around, worst case scenario on your "12 year mission to the moon" you'll never be more than many hours (well, OK, days worst case) from a splashdown on the earth via a very non-ITN path. Also your giant station/ship could be resupplied from the earth, at a considerably higher than ITN cost. Given your station/ship can move orbits very cheaply, your "lifeboat" could be extremely high performance.

The ITN would be a great way to help a manned (anywhere) expedition by slowly sending enormous quantities of cargo and base equipment long ahead of time.

A group that plans for the future would probably already be planning care packages and emergency packages to likely destinations. If it takes people 20 years to get to eventually really quickly fly to mars, then its no big deal if emergency O2 and first aid kits or whatever launched today take perhaps 15 years in transit.
Fair point. I was trying to compress paragraphs to sentences - perhaps "no need to rehash" or "already done" - the point being that certain moral judgements always stand up to scrutiny, or have no logical alternative.

I'm in a startup with my brother. I would say it depends on the type of relationship you have with your brother, we can resolve various issues easily and quickly.

We think alike most of the time and if not, we know how to resolve it due to living with each other for a long time. That being said, we do have different roles and only certain parts of the startup are worked on together (frontend app etc..).

Clear and concise responsibilities are what is going to help the most. If you are competitive, you are usually the most competitive with your own blood, which can get messy if you fight over the same thing.

Why does "we're taking it down while we figure out what's going on" not qualify as a valid approach? Shouldn't safety be a higher priority than "well someone might want to look at the home page so we'll put more effort into a crappy default landing page?"

It's easy (and often correct), in hindsight, to say that some things should be prepared for in better or different ways. However, that's a different animal than "crap, something is up, we need to react in the best way we can now."

Seems like that should also open one up to an identifying attack of sorts. Find out when deposits were made (assuming there is more than one), grab all the security video from those times, and try to identify the person who is in all of those clips. Facial recognition software should get one the rest of the way. I imagine you would only need 3 or 4 deposit events to reliably identify someone?
Yes! Saying "Wow, ISIS are the ultimate evil on earth" won't solve anything. Those are fellow humans, and they're doing all those killings and executions for a reason. (no one just wakes up and says "I'm going to do a genocide because it is really evil and I'm a devil")

The only time the US's role is mentionned in that video is at the beginning: "In 2003 the US invaded Iraq because of its alleged connections to terrorism and weapons of mass destruction", quickly followed by Sadam the evil dictator and the whole "shia/sunni thing" (even if ISIS isn't only fighting the shiaa, but anyone that doesn't join them, including sunnis). No mention to the fact that those "alleged relations" were just an excuse. They even say that the US was trying to end terrorism by invading Iraq.

3.7W to 10.7W power usage when idle, and about 20W under load, depending on display brightness. So the SoC seems to use at least ~10W under load.

Edit:

I guess I have to retract my statement. The 15W TDP Haswell Macbooks also require >30W under load in their tests. Since power is measured externally, losses from various components add up: conversion losses in the power adapter and voltage converters, simultaneously charging the battery while emptying it, ...
Example: you have a minimum-sized team that can work on that Trello board. One person for each column.

Drones can be a serious hazard to larger aircraft. A drone could easily destroy a helicopter, rather like a bird strike can.

When the village of Laerdalsoyri burnt down in Norway in January the emergency services had to ground their own fire fighting helicopters because news drones were a hazard:

> police told Norwegian newspaper VG that a helicopter was being delayed because of suspected media drones taking pictures in the area.

> "It is important for us to stress that if someone is using drones, they must get them out of there," police spokesman Nils Erik Eggen said.

> "This could create a hazardous situation and may pose a danger to helicopters."

> The police could not say how many drones had been operating in the area.

So one could imagine a movie plot terrorist attack where unarmed drones fly over an airport and cause a total shutdown, or in the blockbuster version actually try and intercept a landing airliner.
1) that's an absurd proposal, would be very expensive, and incredibly dangerous if it malfunctioned. Imagine it detects a car or airplane as a projectile and starts shooting at it.

2) drones don't make anything new possible. They could just as easily use homemade rockets, mortars, old fashioned RC planes, etc. I don't know why people are so afraid of possible abuses of new technology. There are so many old technologies which are also abusable in similar ways, but we don't generally worry about it because it's just not a significant problem.

> after the startup there is a bleakness to a "normal" lifestyle I could never quite shake off

"Running a company would make you perfect for any conceivable job were it not for the fact you'll never want one again."

Not sure where I read that, but it sounds true. I am being gently pushed into job life by circumstance after 5 or 6 years of independent life (startup ~2 years, school ~1 year, freelancing ~2 years) and getting hired, even just talking about the possibility of a job job, feels like losing.

There are two fairly consistent benefits to running OS X:

1. It usually comes installed on great hardware.

2. It's less vulnerable to most things than Windows.

Beyond that, if you choose to build a Hackintosh, in my opinion you (for whatever reason) enjoy OS X enough to depend on it but don't like Apple enough to run their OS without paying their hardware premium (entirely understandable from the price perspective but a little illogical if you take it a bit further).

Frankly, I can't see any reason for the Hackintosh middle ground other than people who can't cope without the OS but can't afford the hardware. The software is little more than a neutered and compromised version of BSD that lets you part way into a walled garden (cue It's a trap! meme).

Granted: There's also the requirement of a Mac for iOS development... but guess what? You're still stuck with the developer program membership fee. Save $500 here, lose $100 a year there, along with probably being in violation of half a dozen usage limitations.

See 3.2: "extension members". A reason phrase from the HTTP response can't contain structures which are easily parsed, this proposal does make this possible.

We are using this format for quite some time and it is very easy to use. In above example "Not Enough Credit" sounds reasonable, but you often want to inform users with more information: what was the transactional amount, what is the balance, are there other reasons the transaction failed? You can easily extend the response with more fields to indicate such thing.

Besides, you can track any error in your backoffice system and link the error number in your response. This allows you to have direct insights in error history for customer support ("Hey I got an error and the system said to report number 23473 to you, can you help me?").
It's deprecated now, but it is still there in Windows 8, and can be used for a lot of things not even possible in 'build to win32' scheme.
CLiki: outer-parentheses-free-repl
I can respect your aesthetic reasons for running OS X, but it's entirely subjective. I'm exactly the opposite: I run Mac hardware because, for my requirements, it's the only option. I run Debian on it because, for my requirements, looking pretty is the very last thing on my list and whatever doesn't run from the terminal is a few easy clicks away.

"Lukewarm" with respect to a "desktop experience" depends entirely on what you want from your desktop. I have the same "why does this software hate me" while attempting to use OS X. It doesn't make either of our experiences more or less valid; it simply means that different people have different tastes and requirements, and that any given mix of hardware and software might be great for you but will be totally inappropriate for someone else.
If we are concerned about safety, we can use a taser shotgun or rubber bullets.

Fwiw most Rakudo devs now prefer MoarVM for most things because it's generally the fastest, leanest, least buggy and most specification compliant of the currently available backends (MoarVM, JVM, Parrot). MoarVM is definitely the right pick for folk who want the leanest startup P6 can deliver.

http://moarvm.org/

Even with the MoarVM backend, Rakudo takes a lot more time and RAM to startup than the compiler for most mainstream languages. It handily beats the JVMs devs use but that's not saying much.

On the third hand, a few devs have said they are regularly using Rakudo at $work, including for one-liners.

If anyone wants to try P6 I recommend RakudoBrew:
