I'm very much looking forward to installing this. I recently put together a nice Machine Learning / linux workstation / build machine.... https://pcpartpicker.com/list/... And Linux pre 4.14 just flubbed pretty bad with the processor... https://www.phoronix.com/scan.... I got things working somewhat smoothly with Manjaro linux, but getting the CUDA support working was a total hack (currently GCC 6.3 is all they support, not 6.4, much less 7.3 and the arch linux "fix" is very much an admitted dirty hack), and getting Caffe 2 to compile right was turning into more work than it was worth ... http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cu... ... So yes, these problems are largely the fault of Intel and NVIDIA clutching their proprietary pearls, but I am looking forward to running a well supported and stable version of linux that can support and be optimized to the latest hardware that came out 6 months ago.

I know there's jurisdictional creep, and maybe some large non-EU companies would adhere, but I really doubt the EU has the jurisdictional pull for this to do anything other than hamstring anything to do with hosting in the EU. I guess this is good for non-EU small and mid-sized businesses who will have a huge advantage when not operating in the EU, like the USA or maybe Ukraine. At the same time, I'd rather these quixotic EU bureaucrats not treat their own tech community so badly in the global market.

I find this odd. I've been using iOS for probably 10 years now and don't have this experience. Maybe on some very old version? Is your phone jailbroken by someone who has your password?

Do you pay over $100 a month for cable tv and internet? Do you spend over $1000 a month for a place to live? Do you spend over $100 in car insurance and or payments? How frequently do you use your mobile phone compared to these other things? How much is that costing you over 3 years? $50 over 3 years is $1800, so what are your priorities? The $700 tag is less than 10 years of inflation on the original price of an iPhone. You can make relative comparisons, but ultimately this is the same irrational approach that makes a $1000 price tag seem overpriced. If you want to produce professional level media with your phone, a $300 step up seems perfectly reasonable to me. If you just like taking a bunch of nice pictures, an 8 with 256GB is probably better for you... About to try a $15 a month MintSim plan on my iPhone 8, and if it works I'll be getting second unlocked iPhone 8, and I'll probably be paying less than the author of the article pays for their overall phone usage.

That's what the offer looks like for me too. Currently on the internet only plan, I was on 'limited basic cable" as part of a bundle before. For the same internet speeds, plus "limited basic cable" which amounts to less channels than I can get on my antennae, and HBO or Showtime, I can pay $10 a month less than I am currently paying for a year - and then will need to cancel because I really don't want the limited basic cable - and I can alternate HBO now with HBO go...

So... it can add margins when viewing videos based on which mode you pick... More modes! Apple has an entire guide instructing designers to embrace the notch.... Why would any indie team embrace the "notch" for their game / app / website? This seems like a pretty big fuck you to them from Apple.

Source? Cause everything I am seeing from designers looks like a dick in the margins to me: https://twitter.com/thomasfuch...

Apple is bravely shooting itself in the foot with an ugly ass notch. The landscape looks like crap, and I think it's pretty ridiculous to expect programmers and designers to accommodate for a uniquely stupid design. If they want ears with Apple specific info in portrait mode, by all means do so, but do the developer world a favor and black that shit out in landscape apple. Steve Jobs probably would have throw the iPhone "ten" in the trash. https://www.theverge.com/2017/... https://twitter.com/JoeLimits/... https://twitter.com/vojtastavi... https://www.youtube.com/watch?... https://twitter.com/fet_compla...

As far as I can tell, they a note from Google's reasonably good advice on building Progressive Web Apps, and somehow feel their take on service workers and push notifications. Here's the browser support, and status of the "draft" w3c for the functionality: https://developer.mozilla.org/... ... But I guess the complaint is that startups can't get this functionality, with just a webpage: * Create an app loading screen * Use push notifications * Add offline support * Create an initial app UI to load instantly * Prompt installation to the home screen through browser-guided dialog ... So that sounds pretty cool that android will let me completely bypass their store to get those features and even distribute say, an enterprise "app" without needing Google Play or any other marketplace.

So Craigslist? Seriously though, I'm with sinij on this one. There's not a shortage of expensive places to rent without having to go through a gauntlet of competitive bidding. If you need a place next month, you learn very quickly that things like this and open houses are not worth your time. Maybe it will cater to some people in the market, but it seems ridiculous to think that competitive price setting is a problem. I'm also curious how it handles the intricacies of leases. Never mind if you pay attention to who you are actually renting from as a renter. I can see the anger of people for this existing. I also sincerely question the value of its existence. By the time it provides actual value, it will have just become an ordinary real estate agency.

I felt like a holdout last year, and then gave up on it this past fall and fully switched to Chrome as my primary browser for both development and general use. Too many glitches in Firefox these days. Hopefully they can roll out something fresh that works, Mozilla really has made the web better over the years.

Not sure why people are obsessed with the weird personal site, as that's not apparently his normal work site? He seems mostly obsessed with pimping out some security folks Tel Aviv and legal babble. Somehow missing from all of this is his sudden career shift http://www.gtlaw.com/People/Ru... This might give a better picture of where the guy is at: http://www.gtlaw.com/Experienc...

It definitely feels like things are slower these days. I find the whole hair brained decision to semi-save state and never close things after a program crashes or is actually terminated very user unfriendly. AdBlock, uBlock, and Privacy Badger seem to be doing more work than ever. I've seen plenty of professional web designers who are completely happy to just push a bunch of images over a MegaByte right over the wire. That was not normal so long ago. Throw a bunch of WebSockets, javascript thread loops, flash videos, and multiply that by a bunch of tabs that the some idealist thought should never be closed for the user, and we have a recipe for slow browsers that have been optimized for idyllic users, idyllic websites that are no longer there, and idyllic speed tests that mean less and less.

It's not a secret and the stock prices have already moved. This is the just writing on the wall. When your biggest, most direct competitor fails in such an epic way as to have a full and complete recall after the recall and additionally have its product banned from airports you are in a damn good position. I mean, no the iPhone 7 isn't meant to be used underwater. The Galaxy Note 7 isn't allowed on airplanes, and if you fly the airlines are notifying ALL OF THEIR PASSENGERS TO NOT USE A SAMSUNG PRODUCT, which has escalated to, YOU WILL BE FINED IF YOU BRING A SAMSUNG PRODUCT TO THE AIRPORT. Not all attention is good attention. The ocean doesn't scream at you, DON"T USE THE APPLE IPHONE IN THE OCEAN!

Ugh, are you sure you didn't post this 15 years ago? Swing and SWT have always struck me as a means to create a lot of work for no real platform advantage. If you had some kind of bizarre love for C++, you could just use Qt and be done with it. Hell, when it comes to web development and GWT, those devs bailed and built Angular.js, probably because it tried too hard to abstract away all the fantastic stuff you get using web frontend frameworks. Yes, you can use Struts 2 or JSTL, but by that point, you've pretty much eliminated Java from the whole GUI layer and instead cordoned it off into being your server model and business logic. Data Processing with C++? Java actually does a fantastic job of interconnecting to data sources through jdbc and tools built on top of that. There are plenty of great free libraries for reading/writing loading information. Still, it's not going to shine like something you might see from R or SAS. Restart often with Java? The code is broken. Horrible performance and footprint problems? The code is broken. Find some smarter programmers to lead and gatekeep development. Too many cycles? Developers are rolling Virtual Machines on cloud metal that have lesser virtual machine docker instances which might contain java virtual machines, which actually do a better job at managing memory resources than their parent containers. Java 9 is actually sounding like it will be even be more superior in this kind of application space.

Java can be used well or poorly in pretty much anything. There are specific cases where it's less applicable to more native solutions. There are also a ton of libraries and frameworks within and built primarily for Java. The quality of the frameworks you choose at that level will have more bearing on how well Java does for your use case than simply looking at "Java" or "JEE". Spring is fantastic.
