I don't mind receiving mails after work, at the weekend or during holidays as long as nobody expects me to read and/or answer them.

Are there companies that expect you to do so?
I noticed that too. I won't say I'm oblivious to the possibility of a much earlier retirement, but leaving my current job, one I really love, will take more than just that.

Yeah, most things coming from the Spark team are excellent in that respect.

I've never used Tachyon, but based on the wonderful "getting started" experience Spark gives I'd be confident it would be similarly well thought out.

I am carrying around a HTC One and it's nice, but i couldn't care less if the phone had no FullHD screen.

The problem is that almost all high end smartphones (in terms of build quality, etc.) also have huge screens and are too big. And the cheaper phones have a terrible quality. Not sure about the Moto E, though.
Damn. my data is 6597069766657 bytes. Apparently if it was 6597069766656 bytes it would have fitted in RAM.

"Solution: AMD optimizes HairWorks."

How do you optimize code you have no access to?

"It's just an extension of the systemic AMD problem: they [very likely] have the best hardware but their Windows drivers are horrific and not only do they not have developer support; they actually play the victim because others take the initiative."

Like how a Project Cars developer or spokesman claimed that AMD did not help for months only to be completely disputed later on? Also, ask Kepler owners about their current driver support in recent titles. They are not happy.

"NVIDIA set out to optimize the game as best as they could for their hardware."

AMD helped optimise several titles that worked just as well on NVidia (excep that one Tomb Raider fiasco, what was solvable doe to the openly available TressFX code. Can we say the same about hairworks?). But somehow many NVidia titles are optimised in a fancy way that always hits hard on AMD cards (Crisis 2 and Batman AA come in as uncovered examples).

"AMD didn't set out to do anything: once again they sabotaged themselves by not getting involved."

I guess you can back up that statement.

"Everything around us was once a thought of someone else".
I thought this would be a write-up on SQRL https://www.grc.com/sqrl/sqrl.htm that uses QR codes and a secure identity database on your phone to authenticate you. Unlike the article, SQRL is an open protocol that can be developed and used by anyone. It is in alpha stages but I have used a prototype and it works really well.
QUANTIFIED SELF: If you own a smart device, we need your help!
It is true that any well-qualified specialist, at least any developer, could work 4-day 8-hour workweeks if they'd wanted. And do that while keeping a high standard of living. You might need to choose the city and area to live though, but that's all.
I'm assuming you're referring to the map in column "a" of the graphic. They didn't mislabel them. The Cascades are nearer to the coast. Same with the Sierras. I think what's got you mixed up is the perspective of the map. It's slightly oblique, which shortens the apparent distance between the mountains and the coast. It's not a terribly good graphic. There are no state borders, yet the map is clipped in a way that gives very little context.
[Interview] Withings CEO Cedric Hutchings on the Future of Health
I suspect some people have started to assume that "two-factor authentication" literally just means "phone/dongle".
But does that phone actually exist? I can't find anything other than regurgitated press releases from early 2014.
Why do you think they have implemented these? Just to inconvenience you?
I didn't downvote you.... but I bet others did because your comment doesn't speak to the debate covered in the article.
I didn't downvote, but I'd guess it's because you seemed to dismiss/minimize the LinkedIn sneaky emails because it was obvious they were automated.
Android got a lot slower lately, so I'm hesitant to go to a cheaper phone.

"We deserve a smartphone that can last a whole day without charging"

I claim that any recent smartphone can work up to two days including a few hours of browsing and doing calls, once you disable all (unnecessary) background synchronizations, forcing the hardware awake. At least this is my experience for the Nexus 4.

But reading that the authors phone "used to die with 6–8 hours of moderate usage or sometimes even before that", it seems he had much higher expectations than me. I don't expect a phone to work in "active" mode with screen on for so many hours. I expect it to consume just little power when screen is off and few background synchronizations run, and do not care much about consumption when the screen is on. If you need 8 hours (that is 1/3 day) of screen-on time then maybe your expectations are too high on a smartphone? Additionally you would probably stumble over a power socket in the meantime.
Good point, you don't. But on the other hand, filtering out an email you don't want is easy (in most email clients), so you won't get a notification each time. I'm assuming this app has no filtering, so if someone wanted to DOS me with this, they could - there's no way i could (or would) handle a ton of login requests per second to try to find the login request i initiated. You can't DOS someone with account signups or the "forgot password" functionality, as they could still log in to whatever service they need (while their mailbox fills up).
The system has some built-in rules that prevent timing attacks from happening, so that only one authentication request may be active per user. A few other rules run in the background, preventing other similar attacks.
In relation to the communication between the service server and our server, we're currently offering the traditional api key/secret method, but we will roll out RSA-enabled calls.

In relation to the phone, users may pin-protect (for now, we're looking into additional methods) each individual profile. The main difference is that the user no longer uses the same communication channel (browser-server) to send the full set of credentials, with UNLOQ, a separate channel is used (device-UNLOQ paired connection)

Unlike a privately owned autonomous vehicle, a taxi has very little need for environment flexibility. The article says they're planning to start in a "sunny city like Las Vegas", where there's unlikely to be much black ice... and even if they operate solely in such sunny cities for a decade, there's still enough market for them to grow huge. Of course, anyone who can make a vehicle that can handle white-outs will have an advantage, but I haven't heard even Google claiming to have a handle on that.

Open source is about more than cost savings
But you don’t have to listen to me, part-time mountain dweller and full-time maverick. Here’s Carlos Slim, the world’s second richest man: “We should be working only 3 days a week.” It is time, he says, for a radical overhaul of our working lives. We need more time to relax, for quality of life.

Quoting the world's second richest man as a backup to your argument (about working less), comes off as pretentious.

Those of us that work as hard as we do, want the same things, working less, enjoying life more, slowing down. Unfortunately, life is expensive. Our incomes have stagnated and our dollar buys less.

I'd love to only work 3 days a week, but at my current salary, I'd have to live in a tent with my family of 4 and eat ramen and the occasional squirrel.
Speak for yourself, I'm tapped out at 8. I can work on side-projects for an additional 2 or 3 some times, but that's not work.

Well, hate to break it to you, but you probably have some overhead associated with your data, like your operating system or structures related to processing your data.
Like my sibling post, I can't imagine accepting a pay cut from a current employer unless I received something valuable in return. I'd accept either better benefits (401k matching, better health insurance or equivalent but at a reduced personal cost, something) or more paid time off. But if I was making strictly less than I did before, without receiving something I valued in return I'd be looking for a new job.

What happened to you happened to a friend of mine, and he refused to leave the job. Salaried to hourly. Then leave changed from sick leave being something you could take easily to requiring it to be dire circumstances and a doctor's note. This past year they changed their pension plan from X% per year of service to Y% (Y < X). Seriously, if a company is willing to cut one benefit, they'll find a way to cut the rest unless there's enough unrest (and even then, most seem to prefer going bankrupt and getting bought out).
You're not confused at all. The computational device is a 100% efficient space heater and at the same time does something other than just heat space.

Intel was still within their right (technically) when it forced their own compiler to compile non-optimized code for AMD CPUs.
That does not make it right for us, the customers, this is the point I wanted to make.
There is quite a bit lacking from your logic.

For example, maybe the previous boss had been on the job 10 years. Maybe his starting salary was also $35,000 less than when he ended, in which case they would be valued equally!!

Maybe she was NOT AS GOOD. I know many people who think they are equally as good as their boss and are no where close.

Maybe those with the skill to sell themselves should make more? Why is that so offensive?

Maybe the whole newspaper industry has taken a major hit and the company does not have the available operational budget that they were once able to spend.

It's disappointing that all of these legitimate ideas are passed over and we proceed to assume it was gender related. Really?

> Are media our 'thinking tools' or something else, like our 'communicate to others what I'm thinking tool'?

What you're saying essentially is that the only times digestion of input would benefit from the things Bret Victor talks about is when those inputs are others' output. It seems that this suggestion would have only come from someone who finds themselves dealing almost entirely with the output of others and trying to make sense of it, rather than any original research or thought. What's more, is that I feel like I'm in some sort of Escherian loop here, because to anyone for whom is the case, they'd never have been interested in trying to make the suggestion that these tools wouldn't necessarily help elsewhere (having no "elsewhere" to contrast it to.)

The types of tools Bret focuses on are as important if not moreso for solo endeavors of research/discovery/understanding as they are for trying to achieve person-to-person communication with the smallest possible time-to-understanding penalty.
Not only are these easy to guess, I usually don't want to share this information with the service.

And questions like "What's your favourite XY?" are likely to change anyway.

Additionally, they are only of use in the unlikely event that you have forgotten (or don't have access to) both your email/username AND password. In that case I'd just prefer calling or mailing the support and provide other proof.

If it's required to fill in these questions, I usually just use them as extra password fields and store them in my password manager.
I'd love to do live variable inspection (like the Chrome Dev Tools) — it's something I'm thinking about for the future.

There's a (nascent) project called `jmp` (for Jupyter Messaging Protocol) that implements kernel communication in JS: https://github.com/n-riesco/jmp. I'll probably contribute to that and factor out my kernel communication.
Then given that we are responsible for the actions our governments take, and since all governments have taken actions that have caused children to be molested (such as putting a child in a foster care), even if those actions were reasonable given the known information at the time (removing the child from a parent who was giving them meth and putting them in a foster care home that was safe by all indications), we are all responsible for child molestation.

Am I missing anything here?

The app actually has a firewall, preventing DOS attacks on the user. The main rule is that only one authentication request can be active per user, so the user will always receive ONE push request at a time.
Also, when you create an app, you can specify the number of authentication requests you expect, coming from your app. You can (currently) set it from 1 to 25 requests / second. So if somebody would try and DOS you, UNLOQ will limit and filter these requests.
(Another Tor browser user here.) Yes, it sure seems so. Half the time I visit Hacker News (which is behind Cloudflare) I have to fill in a captcha. I'm logged in with a 3k rep account and I'm not trying to do any action, I'm just trying to see the front page. That is surely suspicious enough to give me a captcha every ten minutes.

Edit: to respond to both comments at once: alright Cloudflare may not recognize my HN cookie and account, but they do have two cf_* cookies, and I am merely loading the homepage. No weird URL parameters, no POST data, nothing.
How the Biggest Fabricator in Science Got Caught

If you use a PIN, make sure you encrypt the API secret with the PIN and do NOT store a hash or any other means by which to verify that the PIN is correct. I'd also suggest an (UNencrypted) secret device token such that you can actually detect when an app install is being used with a bad (incorrectly decrypted) API key and disable it after N attempts. This will prevent people abusing this policy for DoS against regular friendly usernames.

If you do that, enforce TLS/SSL, and display a session code to stop timing attacks (even if you only allow one login at a time, it's still vulnerable to race), then it's not terrible.

A lot of people on the thread seem to be missing this, but this really is the key point. If you want to keep your current lifestyle, going out to fancy restaurants three times a week, having two cars, sending your kids to top universities, etc you will of course need a lot to retire.

Mapbox Takes on Apple with an SDK to Put Maps into iOS Apps
Fun story: Back in the early days of hobby computing a friend-of-a-friend, a guy called Jim ran a robotics gig in Amsterdam. He asked me to control a head on a stalk with the face of a politician on it lip-synched to some audio. Jaw movement, eyes rolling side to side, some facial animation. Very funny job. Anyway, one night I was working on the 'head' with the latex part off, you have to imagine a very scary looking appliance with teeth and two eyes painted (very realistically) on ping-pong balls behind a skull like frame of fibreglass.

I was writing some code deeply concentrated when my refrigerator decided to generate some really ugly spark causing the servos on the head to become activated, the jaw opened really wide and the eyes rotated to face me, which totally scared the shit out of me.

So much for me being level headed and cool under pressure ;)

A Dell R920 with four E7-8880L v2 15 core processors (e.g. 60 real threads, 120 with HT), and 1024GB / 1TB of memory costs about $50,000 USD. To go to 1.5TB of memory pushes you to $60,000 USD.

Expensive in a relative to a low-end server or month of cloud usage, but that's an absurd amount of computational power.

When i saw this talk, it got me thinking. Does anybody else feel that human beings inherently have limit to the amount of things and concepts they can think by themselves. His talk presents tools that helps push this limit by some amount. Its not just about thinking, its about how much information can be processed, modified and assimilated.

The books, media and the internet has been able to help us push this limit slightly more. A single person doesnt have to learn every science, but can get the updates from each if he wants to. He doesnt have to work hard in that field to learn from it. Maybe true advances in AI would take more of this processing from the person and help him move higher in terms of understanding and knowledge.

And probably that is whats the next step in evolution for us?

That's an discussion that's likely to never come to a sensible conclusion :). The AMD/NVIDIA situation is definitely one of the negative outcomes of an open/competitive marketplace.

I'm sure that there are plenty of IT-type jobs in non-tech companies outside of Silicon Valley where developers make around $85K per year. If we work for tech companies, it's hard to remember that most programming work is pretty unglamorous stuff, like writing back-office code for a bank or supermarket chain. And $85K may not even be such a bad salary if you're not in an area with crazy real estate prices.

This is one of the shitty things about capitalism. Super rich people. They are free riders who get so unrealistically rich that they no longer need to contribute anything to the economy. They just sit on their asses, "grow" their wealth and develop perverted philosophies on life.

No single man on earth has the strength or intelligence to create an economic contribution that justifies this sort of wealth. The super rich achieve their wealth off the backs others.
