Like seriously? Does it? Do you need that much faster speed(that you're probably not going to get) and limited bandwidth(10GB per month for $100?! sign me in!), on your mobile phone?...
5G millimeter-band should DRASTICALLY drop the cost to connect homes and help give people options for home internet.
5G sub-6ghz-band should give a 4-10x boost to the number of devices that can be connected in an area
It’s going to be a LONG time before anyone sees any benefit from 5G. Samsung’s “5G” S10 only supports the millimeter-band... making it fairly useless unless you want to find the prefect spot where it can actually receive a signal and use it as a WiFi access point. It’s going to be hard to tell where 5G is going for another year or two... I could see why a 2year delay would alarm someone trying to figure that out.
New York City’s population grew 5% between 2010-2018.
By your linked numbers New York State(not City) lost 0.25% of its population 2017-2018, and has only increase 0.85% since 2010... which more seems like the population is stable in the state rather than falling.
Suburbia is going to continue to collapse for probably another decade; this will probably be good in the long run for both NYC and NYS.
CAL requires penetration of the curing wavelength through the printing volume, but dye can be added to block other wavelengths and tune component opacity
I was wondering why they didn’t rotate the projector instead of the medium, but the article goes over this.
We used highly viscous (up to ~90,000 cP) or solid (thermally gelled) precursor materials to minimize relative motion between the printed object and the precursor. High-viscosity precursors also limited molecular diffusion-induced blurring.
I guess we could all just use 7bit ASCII to keep compatible with Slashdot... Apple devices do use curly/smart quotes more often; but it’s definitely not confined to them.
Chrome is quickly becoming the new IE/ActiveX. This is why we can’t have nice things.
I think categorizing this by language is too broad. It needs to be per-platform. (e.g. writing servlets for 10 years doesn't qualify you to write Android code).
To be hired to develop on a platform you should know the fundamentals, which mainly means intimately knowing the major patterns for the platform (e.g. delegation, factory, prototype, facade, etc).
Taking AP classes and your scoring well definitely has a bearing on your acceptance to a college. While only some schools will give you credit , I'd hope any college would look at a student's academic record(often by just asking the school's guidance counselor).
I've taught through TEALS (iOS programmer by day).
The TEALS program is for high-school. The demographic is primarily Juniors and Seniors, but some Freshmen and Sophomores. Computer Science doesn't count toward the core science requirements in most states(I've taught in Kentucky and New York and neither does). As an elective class you generally get kids signing up who are either really interested or who's parents/guidance-councilor push them, either way they are generally pretty engaged. Ideally, the kids should be ready to take the AP computer science test which will hopefully make it easier to get into the college they want (if they are actually interested in programming).
These online self-guided lessons are great, but not a replacement for classroom learning.
As a mobile developer I'm drawn to Tizen because it doesn't have the cruft that Android does and is possibly even more open. I want a Tizen phone to play with. The SDK and tools look mature and the simulator works well. I like that you don't have a.Net/Java virtual machine in your way.
Despite Android having a much improved java engine, it's still lacking in a lot of ways:
- no Java8 Lambda goodness on Android(and likely never will be)
- Dalvik still has garbage collection slowdowns at inexplicable times...
- To use native code you're running many things through the JNI, which is not elegant
Not following too closely, but seems Aereo wasn't antagonizing the channels. Since the Channels make money from ads it would seem the channels should be all for another cable company.
It's a similar problem. Except since this is a much larger connector(100 times as many pins?) with smaller pins(1/4 the size?) and uses a specification that is used by far fewer people than USB it's MANY MANY times more likely to have an issue than a single USB port.
In reality computers solder USB all the time for lower-bandwidth devices(e.g. Bluetooth, WebCam, SD reader, InfraRed, ethernet, WiFi, etc). It's dramatically cheaper and slightly more reliable than including a full USB port because you don't have to worry about charging phones(1000ma+) on a port that will only have a 250ma device on it or buy all the interconnects. The actual chips for most of this stuff are pennies. To build the same thing with interchangeable interconnects raises the power budget, the component budget, and the QA budget...
The main quote comes from a teacher who works for a think tank(that needs funding) talking about conversations he had with other teachers... not stuff he's done himself.
"I've spoken to a number of nursery teachers who have concerns over the increasing numbers of young pupils who can swipe a screen but have little or no manipulative skills to play with building blocks – or pupils who can't socialise with other pupils, but whose parents talk proudly of their ability to use a tablet or smartphone."
I prefer a well laid out open plan to anything else:
Separate Office - I get bored and many questions are much more difficult to ask via Chat... why the fuck bother coming to an office building, but work from home
Open plan with everyone scattered - interesting that you talk to more people on a day to day basis, but nearly as hard to actually communicate as when you have an office.
Open plan with similar people grouped - You can see when people aren't stupid busy and actually talk about issues that are happening. You still run into other departments, but not as often
"The Cloud" when done right is hosted servers that can (and will) move around from place to place as fast as they need to; from local servers to in-country data centers to data centers around the world in order to optimize response time and minimize down time. Just because a lot of people do it wrong, doesn't mean the concept is wrong... Just really hard to understand.
Not only is the ideal cloud hard to understand, it's very expensive and hard to implement. Just looking at the one piece of software he mentioned, Jira, it's rather difficult. Jira at least has a cloud based product, but it has different features(e.g. no project imports) which will disrupt their business and force them into different workflows... Setting up good data replication and backups can be difficult(often blind faith when dealing with these fully portable clouds) and testing portable-cloud backup systems usually requires some kind of voodoo.
The actual printing cost of any paperback where more than a thousand coppies are produced is a buck or two. You can print a single copy of a 6"x4" 100page paperback(color cover) for $5.25 at http://www.lulu.com/calculators/bookCalc.php?cid=publish_book
Slashdot Mirror
A physically larger comparable PC that is comparable in speed to the iMac will start around $10K, not $5K.
256GB 2666 DDR4 (64x4) is over $2,000 (not $1,000), and for ECC sodimms this goes up to over $6,000.
The Intel i9 9980XE doesn’t support 256MB or RAM. A 18-Core 2.3 GHz Intel Xeon W is $3,000.
28" 5k monitor (good brand): Around $1200 (not $500)

We've been doing this at least since at least the beginning of recorded history(probably longer). The term "Skeleton in the closet" dates back to at least 1816.
