I agree with this, but you really should've stated the reason. If public transportation was free, then poor people, who previously didn't go anywhere, would start using it. People who used to use it but either currently own or could afford a car would get disgusted by the increased volume and decreased quality of service, and would start using cars. People who previously drove would hear the horror stories about the mess that is public transportation, and thank their lucky stars that the only repercussion is a slightly increased level of traffic. One benefit this would have would be more poor people getting access to transportation to jobs or education.

USAF does :D

While this looks like a perfectly reasonable language, I'm a bit weary of this sort of bragging about line counts. I could do the same thing, it would look roughly like:
ssh pi2.local 'while :; do pitemp=`ssh pi.local get_temp`; mytemp=`get_temp`; if [ abs($((mytemp - pitemp)) -gt 2 ]; then echo "Temperature on pi is $mytemp and on pi2 $mytemp. "'
(abs and get_temp are up to the person to have the functions).

Talk about the syntax being nicer, but lines of code is no big deal in this particular case. It has a nice and non-ugly 'run this on another host' syntax and automatically takes care of the communication channels in a reasonable fashion with a low amount of fuss. Leave it at that.

Also, the trap is that any term that gets adopted will *become* yet another idiotic marketing term.

Any phrase attracting buzz is doomed to become a meaningless marketing term abused by companies with their agendas to be relevant.

I particularly dislike the phrase 'internet of things', but I know I'll dislike any term that sees common adoption while the media/marketers have an interest in the field until that interest dies down and it no longer becomes fashionable for companies to shoehorn it into their message.

For contrast, I had a minimum mortgage payment of 850/month on a 3,000 square foot house, had enough extra to pay it all off in 8 years. It's a fair point that $66k/yr in most areas easily beats $100k/year in SV. That's one thing if you really *want* to live in Silicon Valley, but if you move there because of a better job opportunity and didn't particularly care about being in SV specifically, you are probably making the wrong move.

Basically, I've encountered two classes of H1-Bs:
-Folks who are exceedingly good at what they do and are sought out by name. They are by no means cheaper, but a company has to do H1-B to get them.

-Folks who are cheaper and held hostage to their circumstances.

I think across the industry the latter is at least somewhat more common (it's the simplest explanation for the high volume of H1-B requests from specific companies, it's unlikely one company would need the former case by the hundreds). However this situation results in some reactions that are highly offensive to those in the first category.

I was $55k right out of college 13 years ago. Those were, frankly, the easy jobs to get too.

After reading through the paper a bit, it seems interesting, but perhaps a bit overblown. It seemed to have a lot of work to understand the very specific problem domain before this could be applied. It's more like a methodology *enabled* expert engineers to do optimization, not that it did optimization *instead of* expert engineers.

It's also a field with a lot of solid technical high level algorithms, so there was a pretty good space to map things to. Basically it was identifying what inscrutable code was doing as it relates to well known algorithms, enabling them to start fresh to apply the best practice today of said algorithm. If you are not in this sort of space, the strategy doesn't really have a way to help very much.

Incidentally, it's (probably) not in this case that the code was sub-optimal, just mis-optimized. Whether it's something like code written before AVX2 existed, now adding AVX2 codepath, or scenarios with two algorithms that end the same way that use different operations where a choice was made based on chips that could do one of those faster, and newer chips started getting faster the other way.

If there is a substantial removal, it's hard to imagine that there *wouldn't* be roads that provide direct access to homes, or sole access to some homes in the middle. If a road *can* have a house or business built along it, a house or business will likely end up connected to it. Freeways are the only sorts of roads that wouldn't suffer this phenomenon, but even then there are likely to be roads that are only connected to the larger road network by way of the freeway.

Windows Powershell really isn't too shabby if you look at it objectively.

Only a few use 14nm today. It's still relatively scarce.

Also, a company that no longer had a fab did a proof of concept in a lab. This is not what the headline suggests. It's nice to know that we have a proven hypothetical to get down to 7, but the practical side of things has a tenuous relation to research.

Reminds me of eve online. But more responsive! Thats a really amazing project. Congrats. Makes sense that there are only 40 comments. All the real cool stuff never gets any attention round here...

I've had twitter for about 6 years now and I still don't know how to use it.
Occasionally I get an email from them that Thomas Lennon posted something. When I open it, there is a single post by him which I don't really understand, followed by a bunch of other posts by randoms that don't make sense.
Is that's what twitter is about?

It's hard to determine the breed. Pluto does look a bit like a Rhodesian Ridgeback without the ridges. Otherwise a rather large Hungarian Vizsla except for the eyes.
Hmmm.....
