astrodust: That is exactly the problem :). Turns out ISE (Xilinx's tool) has several command line tools that are run by the GUI in order, but the arguments are not documented. I was able to make a Makefile that did the ISE compilation so I could edit in emacs, but that was way too much crap to be real. The new generation of Xilinx's tools, vivado, is written in Java and does not output any temporary files so during compile it can fill over 32 gigs of RAM and crash. Xilinx suggests that until max ram gets higher to use ISE for larger chips.

kornholi: I do not want to insult hardware engineers since they are very intelligent, they just often do not respect the same things software engineers do.
I went to an Atmel event where they were demonstrating how to use their new ultra low power chips. It turns out that most of the people who went were software people driving down from SF. They started off by reminding us that they have a new IDE based on the powerful and versatile Visual Studios. Everyone in the audience groaned. Almost everyone in the audience asked for assistance to find where the Makefile was. The following exchange happened over and over.
host: Oh, but you see, with AVR Studios, you do not have to _worry_ about the Makefile, it does it for you.
guest: yeah but I do not want to use it.
host: but... why would you not want to use the tool we provide, it works.
It seems to me that most of the hardware industry will take whatever tools they can get, even if they have to have the company pay several thousand dollars. The ones I have met forget that they can write tools. When the tools need to be created they just pick whoever is the most comfortable in Java, or outsource it to anyone.
This all sounds very critical of professional hardware engineers, but it is not exclusively their fault. It is also a culture thing of the companies and the industry. Everything feels to me like how software engineering was (as I am told) in the 70-80 where everyone is super paranoid about secrets, and rushing to be the first.
There is reasonable concern for being the first. If you build the first flash ram chip, 40 years in the future when we have moved from flash to crystallized light or something, everyone who wants to compete will be using the same pinouts you picked for your first product so that boards never have to be redesigned.
As for ISE and vivado, I hear it suffers from design by committee. Where every feature has to be checked off as working before it will ship so there is a new bullet point. Hell, they have a C to fpga compiler which you would suspect could do some crazy things and took thousands of engineering hours to make work. But instead it just implements a CPU in the FPGA with slightly accelerated operations for your setup, completely missing the point of FPGAs.
That's more a question about Performance Co-Pilot than about Vector. Netflix has another tool they use for collecting and working with time-series data, Atlas- http://techblog.netflix.com/2014/12/introducing-atlas-netfli...

To see how Atlas and Vector fit together, read http://techblog.netflix.com/2015/02/a-microscope-on-microser...
My solution for npm is to use fpm to make rpms of node modules. But this is fucked by node modules pull in all their dependencies into their own tree, and because a module will want semvers > 3, but npm wants semvers < 2.2. Hence you can't make a sane package per node module, you have to have a module and all it's dependencies in one rpm. The best example I have seen was a module for imagemin that was 17mb, but if you took out the dependencies it was 5k.

For bower, I am not aware of a tool. My solution so far, since I have only have seen it get used when running a gulp compile is to have my co-workers run bower install in their repo, and put the results in the repo.
They're slowly strangling it now with obnoxious ads. These days I typically get an awful video ad before the actual video, a pop-up ad that obscures the video during the video, and I've even started to see cases where they interrupt the video in the middle for another awful video ad. I get that they have to make money somehow, but I think they're going to start strangling the goose that lays the golden eggs if they don't back off some.

It's not yet bad enough to say that they killed YouTube, but I'm afraid they might get there.
No, individuals can upload binary packages to PPAs.

Even if Launchpad builds the binary package, Ubuntu does not review packages' content.

The trust model for PPAs requires users to trust PPA owners, not Ubuntu.

Can probably trace it further back to "Waldo" which I believe was written in the late 30's
I bought my first home last year and I didn't even consider building. The thought didn't even occur to me as an option. I think we are seeing a shift in mindset here - I would guess that people in my position are just buying older houses because they are cheaper than building and readily available ( at least where I live ). I paid well under $200k.

Confusion about what autopilot can actually do is pretty widespread, and autopilot is announced for the summer, so it's an understandable mixup.

> Are you a developer because you don't want to keep learning? Maybe you walked into the wrong room? ;)

Don't you rather be learning new concepts rather than new syntax/APIs? Not that Elixir doesn't bring new concepts to Ruby developers (it does), but even so, I think switching a language for production code has a terrible cost/benefit ratio compared to learning a new algorithm or even a new approach without switching a language.

Since when has "learning" in CS meant adopting a new language?
I've been using this mode with good results. As a developer, it is great when you can stay within emacs and/or tmux for most of your daily work activities.
Hey, fellow English/Classics student here! :-) In fact my first years learning Greek and Latin were in Boston. Been programming since I was 8, but always favored the humanities for formal schooling.

I like to say if you can read Greek you can certainly read Perl/C++.

If you're good I don't think you need the masters, unless you want to specialize in something mathy/difficult, e.g. machine learning. But if you can pick up just an algorithms and data structures course it will make you a better programmer.

Best of luck to you!
you're quoting a speculative paper.

Hawking radiation has never been directly observed, but it is generally presumed to exist.

I haven't read the story extract, but I assume the plan
would be to bleed matter into the micro black hole to
maintain it.

Read the story. In context, the character is talking about how small a natural, primordial black hole can be. There is an obvious lower bound, due to Hawking radiation.

I assume your point is that a GeV is a minuscule amount of
energy, which isn't going to push 130kT around at any speed.

Read the paper. That's the pseudotemperature of the event horizon. It's so hot that it's glowing largely in ultraenergetic gamma rays. The total power radiated by a .32 attometre black hole is 5,519 petawatts.
Also it's not possible to setup SSL on Load balancer. EC2 has this support.

So on GC, just for setting up SSL we need another web server or deploy it directly on your app server.
By my experience, Google's VPS are faster (it's just comment, so no metrics, sorry) and network is more stable, compared with Linode (same performance per $, worse network) and Digital Ocean (worse performance, stable enough network).

But minimal price of support, $150/month, makes it expensive enough for side-projects, and I think side-projects is the main force of adoption.

Again from my experience: I created managed VM (on Google Cloud Platform) to test it, with "autoscale" setup. After testing, I tried to remove it, removed successfully, but then I noticed I'm still paying for it - instance was recreated, as I suppose, because of "autoscale". I will not pay $150 to solve $11 issue, so I just turned off billing in that project, but I don't think it's cool to don't have even minimal support from hosting, so I'm not sure my next side-project will be hosted on GCP.

Give them some credit. By this they are acknowledging the concept of a proxy. Compared to most, this request does a reasonable job of describing what they have and what they want efficiently. They aren't asking for everyone connected at the time. They aren't asking for 'any and all' records. They are asking for one connection record and are providing reasonable information on their end to facilitate. The diagram is a reasonable and, considering the source, a novel means of conveying the vital data.

The fact that the connection record doesn't exist, or if it does would be virtually useless, should not take away from the reasonableness of the request. "We don't have such records" is a legitimate response.

Rails is just one way to solve data problems. I don't see Rails being written in Elixir as it is not a functional way to solve that problem. Nothing against rails it is a good way to solve the problem in a modern object oriented way though Active Record has it's issues as well.
In the tech world and scientific communities, no. We care about IP abuses, if anything--many, many studies have shown that the products are safe to eat, but Montanto's behavior is occasionally despicable.

The rest of the country, though? The hippie, New Age folks that make up a frighteningly large segment of the population? GMOs are "unnatural Frankenfoods" destroying our DNA and whatnot.

My friend group is definitely skewed toward the hippie spectrum, so I may me over-estimating their numbers, but only 37% of Americans say GMOs are safe to eat[1]. I don't know what percent of those know who Monsanto is, or what percent say Monsanto's business practices are unethical, but I certainly lean toward "designing better corn" being the most common qualm.

Our local Costco used to have these, but they still required dedicate babysitter to handle customers who couldn't find bar codes, or customers with overly large or heavy items or customer with membership issues or customers with payment method issues, etc...

Eventually they got rid of them in favor of standard checkout lanes.
Is gentrification good? Like a great many things, dose matters. Some gentrification is good, but take it too far and you get SF where even high earning professionals are priced out the minute they consider having children. The result is a workaholic equivalent of the "man camps" that surround oil fields-- a "six figure slum" devoid of all culture and family life save that of 20-something professionals with no kids.

(That was my impression of parts of SF / SV last time I visited: a six figure slum.)

A little vitamin E is good for you too, but too much seems to increase your risk of cancer. Even more will make you sick on shorter order, and even more than that could kill you.
>modern advertising is based on faulty, outdated psychological theory

What theory is that?
Most ads I see are skippable these days, and the uploader can't set an overlay ad and a video ad on their videos. Vevo videos has those annoying "check out this other artist" thing on the side, but I assume they have some special deal in their contract, because no one else seems to be able to do that.
Everything has to do with everything (when it comes to international power)
That's a sensible way. But consider the steps involved:

Your way:
1. Download deb package.
2. Locate downloaded deb package.
3. Install deb package.
4. Update package lists.
5. Install actual, desired package.

PPA way:
1. Add PPA.
2. Update package lists.
3. Install actual, desired package.

Since in this case your binary package would consist of only a text file, building a full-fledged deb package could be considered overkill.

Besides that, installing your binary package would give a signature verification error, requiring the user to manually install your GPG key. But Launchpad and apt-add-repository handle that automatically.

And that's just for users. Think about the difference between the steps involved for repo authors: they could setup and build a package just to install a text file...or they could go to Launchpad, click a few buttons, and have a PPA ready.

I really enjoyed the RMS comment also; whoever wrote that wins the daily snark award.

That being said, yeah, a lot of Google's paid developer facing tools are actually quite terrible (like their Youtube api/v3 - not the iframe one, the supposed restful data one). Which is strange because their open source stuff tend to be pretty good. So it's like giving Google money actually makes things worse. Especially with using their APIs, it's often felt like I'm paying Google to punch me in the face rather than actually provide better service.
I am sorry you suffer from the dongle collection woes too. The only reason I can see to buy expensive dongles are the ones that have a big blob of RAM on them for quickly reading debug output from the chip without slowing it down, and ones that can adapt to highly exotic voltages and pin outs automatically. But usually the software for these only work in windows, have secret drivers, and are NOT worth 2 thousand dollars.

Xilinx and Altera would not have to give up their custom algorithm. It is like building GCC instead of using Intel's compiler. We just want to know what the chip's instructions are, we will find a way to make it optimal ourselves.

My understanding of the criminal system is fine. Your ability to reason sensibly, rather than using the "victim blaming" semantic stop-sign, is more questionable. Your ability to carry on a polite conversation is quite obviously deficient.

> Maybe I'm missing something big, but it doesn't seem like Glass did anything that could translate to a smartwatch that smartwatches don't already do better than Glass.

I'm pretty sure they discovered/made things they could leverage with regards to integration with apps/smartphones and voice interaction. They did a lot of work with interactions involving very pared down and minimal visual information. Also, it doesn't have to stop with a smartwatch. What if they had an in-car HUD as well as a background service running on a smartphone that could leverage the HUD, the watch, or any enabled and linked display device? For example, what if he whole system could figure out I was in the living room, then enable a Glass-like interaction through the media PC+remote, with optional voice? (You'd have to activate the voice, of course.)

Don't get me wrong, it would be great if all Ruby developers switched to Erlang/Elixir, but what next? I mean, does switching a language more often than once a decade result in net benefit to the industry or net loss? I fear it's the latter.

Hardware engineers are often the worst when it comes to writing software. It's not that they're technically incompetent, but that their priorities are inverted.

Hardware is often hard if not impossible to change. Software is expected to change, or more importantly, to be able to be changed by the developer. Applying a hardware mind-set to software is a constant source of irritation.
I've seen it lots of places, but Ripley is the iconic one I remember. (From Aliens, for you youngsters).
In 22 days, they had a combined downtime of 188 minutes (I'm assuming the two incidents cited were the only actual downtime incidents -- I feel like the blogger would have linked to more if there were others).

22 days is 31680 minutes. That's a downtime ratio of 0.00593434343434, which is, what, 2-nines availability (I'm not super well-versed in this realm, is that the right term)?

Is that decent, given the cost?
As a professor who teaches tech classes, I can tell you we're constantly courted by companies that want us to use their software in our classes. Some make it easier than others. I've never been offered "sponsorship" although to be honest, I wouldn't necessarily turn it down as long as I was making my own choices about who to take it from. Certainly vendors have been known to provide free equipment and licenses to academic institutions. I think where it becomes problematic is if someone else is taking money and, in exchange, constraining my decisions as an educator. So the real question for me about "native ads in education" is, who's buying and who's selling? Are teachers and students going to suffer the consequences of decisions they're not involved in, for someone else's profit?
$110k. I work from Boise, ID for a major media company in NYC.
Yeah, that's possible... I didn't go through all of them, but some had remained essentially the same, e.g. the OpenPilot board had changed some sensors but is still using the same CPU as far as I can tell.

But that's really besides the point, the CPUs they were using have not really turned obsolete like GP said. Even the STM32 F4 series you mention was released in 2011, before this article was written. And that's the latest generation of the STM32 series, so it hasn't gone obsolete.
They get a cut of app store sales, and additional third parties pay them to display ads within mobile apps using admob.

Although it isn't hard to come up with other ways for them to extract more money out of android, I can't imagine a lack of willing buyers for all sorts of information they could harvest from the billion or so deployed devices.
I chat with the driver unless I'm in a crappy mood. You often learn so much about people and form a connection - even if it only lasts for a few minutes. That said, not everyone's personality works well with talking to a stranger... and it has to be a 2-way street (i.e. they must also want to chat. I've been with drivers that just want to listen to music and drive you without interruption )

A teacher is absolutely responsible for keeping private materials, such as grades, secured according to reasonable practices.

If I leave a bike unlocked in a public place, I can expect it'll get stolen. Although I'm the "victim" here, I'm also partially responsible for failing to secure it properly.

If I have locked bike stolen, then I'm a victim, I did everything reasonable expected to secure my property.
it shows (or used to, or maybe it's an entirely different app. i only check them out in a sandbox at time of launch) all your contacts as "offline" and when you messaged them it sent out a sms or something else they would get hold of from the contact list your just gladly provided them and it appeared as a message from you asking them to install it.
Some items might even be at a loss for Costco ($1.99 for pack of 36 water bottles?) but overall I think it's not zero margin enterprise.

Couldn't tell if the writer was being subtlely ironic about the origin of the term poop deck, but presumably it's some kind of play on the nautical phrase "poop deck". The latter term originates from "la poupe", which is the French word for "stern".
