My OnePlus One happily lasts me 36hrs and that's with regular to heavy usage. On moderate usage I could easily get two days out of it.

> How do I explain the importance of philosophy for the development of our mind?

If you can't explain it, are you sure it's really there?

If philosophy is valuable, give concrete examples of cases where it's helped you. Programmers in particular are great at abstracting by themselves, are more than capable of spotting the general principles - you need to give them the specific examples.
Even though it's great value, it still costs around $400

So, I suppose the real answer is "have relatives who can get you a sinecure as a director".
> Here’s Carlos Slim, the world’s second richest man: “We should be working only 3 days a week.”

So... why doesn't Carlos Slim, as chairman of several large companies, restructure them to be 3 day work-week environments? Surely as someone who is about the richest man on the planet would be able to have some influence in the companies he owns/manages?
I'm not talking about energy, I'm talking about $
And the biggest factor of all: we don't want to give up on our easy to use development environments using countless layers of abstraction making software that is horribly inefficient even though the target is a battery operated device.

The screen is something you can't get around but the CPUs are insanely powerful for the kind of work a typical phone is doing.
It also has other merits. It is stateless (so all you need is to save the master key offline). And it doesn't rely on a third party (so no one else that you and the website you log in to knows about your relationship).
The goal of Bret Victor's interactive visualization work is to take concepts that are inconceivable (because, as you say, they are not immediately tractable to spatialization) and, through clever transformation, MAKE them conceivable. Are there "inputs" where this doesn't work? Maybe — but I'm not sure where they could be found in nature.
Do we really need to cite the benefits of working less?

No, we don't. That's why the article is so empty; we can all imagine what it would be like if we could live without work.
And the best businessmen (CEOs) have the highest amount of sociopaths than any other profession:

Being a great businessman doesn't mean he's less likely to be a sociopath, it actually probably means he's more likely.
I double up - I really appreciate the power/performance/resolution/features of late-generation phone technology - but I absolutely have to have reliable SMS (OTP), Phone Calls, and Alarms. My Nokia 105 gets between 10 and 12 days on a single charge with moderate usage, and I've stretched it out to three weeks in periods of low usage. It's pretty close to indestructible - so I can toss it in my bag without worrying, and charges fast (~ Hour).

And it cost me $35.
Because it's actually used in the manner and for the sort of purposes cards are presently used - not at all in the way cash is used.

It is, in fact, strictly worse than cash - because it's more irreversible (I'm unlikely to be able to pluck cash out of your pocket from halfway around the world), yet more traceable. (The blockchain as "prosecution futures".)

> You can get a server with a terabyte of RAM for a price that's insignificant compared to the cost developing software to run on a cluster.

This assumes that a) You're in the valley where average developer salary is $10k a month or more, b) You're a large company paying developers that salary.

There are lots of other places where a) Developers are cheaper, or b) You're a cash strapped startup whose developers are the founder(s) working for free.

My argument was that the expectations are maybe too high, asking for a "a smartphone that can last a whole day without charging", but using it 1/3+ day.

For me that is like saying "When can we have a car that drives 2000km? It usually stops for me after 1000km."
Doesn't seem to work in my browser. Maybe my address bus bunches with the data bus.
That's a serious downgrade, but I'm approaching this similarly, from way up.

I just gave my OnePlus One (beautiful, 'cheap' - the only thing against it? Really, really big) to my wife to 'upgrade' to an S6 Edge. Boy, what a mess that thing is.

No reception. Bad wifi. Battery issues. Calls are distorted, I often hear the other side in a ChipMunk-y way. And don't get me even started on this TouchWiz crap. Or 'Odin'/'Kies'/'Smart Connect'.

So, I 'upgraded' from a perfect 300EUR device to a crappy/barely working 850EUR device. There's a lesson here: Stick to devices with stock Android experience and ideally stick to a device that is properly supported by CM.

Can't take the OnePlus One away from my wife by now. I do tend to look at my Flame every now and then and have a hard time deciding which phone to carry. The beautiful or the less broken one?
I believe there are highways designed like #1, I seem to remember visiting the NY/NJ area, and I think it was the NJ turnpike that was this way. Several lanes of "through traffic" with a wall, and every few miles, it merged with a few lanes on the right of "getting off/on soon" lanes.

Straightforward answer is that philosophy will give you new insights and patterns as to decoding the human condition that you either never realized before, or did but never elaborated on them.
* So if i deny the login attempt on my phone, an attacker who knows my phone number can still log in to my account? Email + phone number is not two factors, it's zero (neither is a secret).

* So what if the attacker started a login request a few milliseconds before i did? How can i differentiate between the attackers login attempt and mine?
In practice, you're gonna have a really hard time doing stuff without working through an exchange. And statistically, trusting a Bitcoin exchange in any manner is a terrible idea.
Sorry for the simple question but if you store it in ram what is the strategy for when the server is turned off?
This is based on Copresence, which will probably ultimately include something like AirDrop. The audio portion would be used for neighbour discovery, before hand off to e.g. wifi direct. Copresence is already used for the guest play feature of ChromeCast.

Listening browsers require the extension. Neither require a Dev release of Chrome - 43.x is the current stable release.

Nothing you'd call documentation. Copresence is part of Chromium, so you can dive into the source code if you wish. I'm attempting to reverse engineer the audible portion (just for fun). I'm tweeting as I go https://twitter.com/moreati

In my previous job at the Finnish software consulting company Futurice (http://futurice.com), there was a long discussion about this that ended with a volunteer-based publication of peoples salaries - around half of the 200 people opted in. The result was a bit anti-climatic: peoples wages were consistent and fair, no big drama.

After switching jobs to another software consulting company Reaktor (http://reaktor.com), I brought up this topic and the discussion was very similar. I decided to try a different route: I created a wiki-page called "Voluntary salary information" and added my name and salary to the top of the page. I then wrote a post to our discourse board explaining why I thought this was important. As of now there are 68 names on that list ( with only 1 obvious troll ) out of about 300 employees. Our head of HR replied to my discourse post with a detailed explanation of how peoples salaries are decided. Overall a great day for transparency.
I think the author glorifies the archaic interface of Emacs too much, particularly since he doesn't need it for its original purpose as a programmer's editor. I wonder why he doesn't just use LibreOffice; it's equally free.

> what is the usefulness of philosophy?

You could tell them asking that question is actually `practising philosophy'.
I have taken the same classes, and they get much more interesting. Chances are that you could complete the work for the first courses in a couple hours without the lectures, or maybe just skimming the notes. I recommend doing that quickly and moving on to the later material, so that you don't get discouraged thinking that you are completely wasting your time.
HairWorks is not something to be particularly upset about. Vast majority of players, even on high-end GPUs just keep turning off those "premium" IHV-specific features as they are just so heavy.

BTW AMD kinda started this with their TressFX hairs (notably used in new Tomb Raider).

It had similar characteristics to HairWorks - extremely expensive feature for relatively small overall visual impact, better running on AMD than Nvidia GPUs, but still running pretty bad even on high-end GPUs.

Something to keep in mind: those super-duper features you see at GPU launch events, they are mostly just marketing, "halo effect" features, not practical enough to be used in games for almost everybody.

--------

We are speaking about miniscule fraction of all players who have GPUs powerful enough to runs all bells and whistles.

Titan X, the only GPU that can run Witcher 3 fast with HairWorks enabled [1], exists in so small numbers that it doesn't even show up in Steam Hardware survey [2].

GTX 980, the next most powerful GPU, is owned by less than 0.5% of all people who use Steam. And GTX 980 runs 1080p ultra with HairWorks just ~37-40 fps.

GTX 970, the next most powerful GPU, the most popular Maxwell GPU, huge bestseller, is owned by ~3% of Steam users. It's the only remaining GPU that can stay above 30 fps with HairWorks on.

So something like 95+ percent of all gamers are not affected by this issue at all.

Google Study Shows Security Questions Aren’t All That Secure

Rubular uses Ruby's regex engine (Oniguruma/Onigmo). Regexr uses your browser's RegEx engine.

That doesn't make it "better", but it does mean they have slightly different purposes. You can use Ruby specific regex features with Rubular, so it is "better" for Ruby regex development.

As a general principle, I like to test against the same regex engine that I'll use in production. If I'm writing Ruby, I'll use pry/irb or a tool like Rubular. If I'm writing Javascript, you'll find me in the closet with the barrel of a gun in my mouth... I mean, I'll test against my target browsers using their respective web inspector, or use a tool like RegExr.

An example of the differences in the engines, the Onigmo engine supports conditional sub-patterns:

Rubular: http://rubular.com/r/zUwSsIi117

Regexr: http://regexr.com/3b1vn

As far as browsers go, they're actually pretty close most of the time. ECMA specifies regex (I think), so if you stick to the ECMA standard, you should be fairly safe. As with anything in browser-land, you'll encounter edge-case inconsistencies that will bite you in the ass.

> I guess I'm wistful for the "inverted pyramid" of newspaper journalism

As a new study in Newspaper Journalism Change shows, the shape of newspaper journalism is much more complicated. Every newspaper article might eventually start at a peak, but on the way back, it might flatten into expansive plateaus or set from a sharp decrease into a slow decline towards the end. By analyzing the area of newspapers as length increased, Princeton doctoral student Paul Elsen and his colleague Morgan Tingley (now an assistant professor at University of Connecticut) identified four different shapes that describe how newspapers behave. And, they found, the traditional "inverted pyramid" shape, that fits journals like The Wall Street Journal, actually describes only a minority of newspaper articles.
You aren't responding to the parent comment, but rather just using it as a springboard for more rhetoric.

While it's noisy and high variance, the approach is similar to start-ups in that we want experiments to be designed in ways that they are likely to confirm underlying theories. This makes positive results more valuable than negative results and something the scientist has some influence over, but not complete control of. Successful experiments increase the chance of future experiments being successful in much the same way that having previously had a successful start-up increases the chances of future start-up success. Particularly when committees cover huge areas, it's a lot easier to fund based on track records than to accurately determine experiment quality of an experiment well outside your expertise.

>I'd guess it's because it's a rich person saying it, which I get.

Rich people don't deserve to be rich, this is a fact. No single human has enough IQ or strength to contribute enough gdp to the economy as to justify becoming super rich. The rich build their wealth off the work of other people. We all know this in a sense and that's why we feel it's unfair.

However, fairness isn't what drives an economy forward. Capitalism works very well, wealth inequality is just an unfortunate side effect.

Apart from that, people with whom I am close with know my salary and I know theirs. Mine is the lowest even though one of my friend is IC1 and I am IC2, others are senior to me.

Some of them tell me to talk to the manager for my salary. My priority is learning, so it doesn't bother me much. But I did talk to the manager (and her manager's manager too), because if you don't, they take you for granted.

By knowing I had the lowest salary gives me lot of opportunities to crack jokes :-)

The difference is AMD's TressFX source code is open, which allowed Nvidia to resolve the performance disparity without much fuss.

Comparison still holds, because if you buy a cluster with X amount of RAM the price will be roughly the same as a single server with X amount of RAM. Except that for some large X there won't be any off the shelf servers you can buy with that amount of RAM (let's say 2000GB), but lets be honest here, 99% of companies needs are under that X especially if we're talking about startups.

First, this is the opening price. The economics are going to get better from here, and the early adopters always pay a bit more for the privilege of experiencing the technology - and someone has to be first to get the ball rolling.

Next - If I have a $500K+ house (modest, by Northern California standards), and for $10K I could get this sleek, hi technology, 10 year warranty battery that lets me more efficiently leverage my solar panels, plus potentially giving me some insurance against a grid outage? Hell, I'm first in line.

Now, does the Tesla Battery make sense, for 100% of the US Population, today? Of course not - but I don't think anyone has suggested that.

But this is where we start, and we improve from here.
