Being Google, do assume Hangouts will be dropped before Flash is removed. I hope you have an alternative for the day Google tells you Hangouts is only for paying customers. It is a shame that Duo and Allo do not fit the bill.
I am talking from my old days. When I was at university, most of the things I did was on my own. However, in the real world, it is hard to see a single person carrying all the burden and responsibility of a project. Team skills are important if you want to get out of your mom's basement.
First of all, companies love outsourcing in this globalized world in that there are more variable expenses rather than fixed ones. MBAs can tweak numbers all day along and get maximum profit. That makes long term relationships tricky, including the hire of juniors.
Second, employee retention is hitting a very low mark these days. I read on slashdot that everyone should consider a job change every two years in order to get a nice pay rise (>20%). If you stay in the same company for a long time, you are getting screwed (pay rise 3%). Playing devil's advocate, who wants to train juniors that leave after one or two years for a higher pay?
I believe the term that you need is "market saturation" of "good enough goods". The new devices promise more CPU and GPU power, but most people including me do not tap that power. It also does not help that recent OS versions have changed graphics, and people do not want to learn old things anew.
Linux had (and probably still has) its sweet spot at Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP.
Some tools that started on Unix moved to Linux. And they are only available in Linux. Just check most of the tools provided by Mentor Graphics, Synopsys and Cadence.
Like that episode of South Park, internet apps do not help much to the local kitchens except for letting users discover new restaurants. Yelp, and let me assume TripAdvisor too, is known to ransom restaurants that do not pay, and what I would tell the most profitable delivery management house in my area takes around 15% of the bill. Note that the 15% does not generally include the delivery service. Some of the delivery people tell me that the restaurant prefers if you use the restaurant web page.
As far as I understood, snaps are similar to static linked software. Everything, or almost everything, that an application needs is package within the snap. So, if I got this right, it would look like two package managers in action: one for applications (snaps) and another for the OS (debs). Only the OS is LTS.
You get, of course, all of the issues of out of date libraries being used by the snaps.
Patreon tried the same trick a few months ago. Jim Sterling tells in his latest video that other companies prefer to have fewer people to pay to considerable amounts of money. There has to be something, a fee or a law, that makes small payments a chore. Does anyone know any better?
I know you need to give access to millions of sensitive data in order to use Cortana (Windows 10). I have not had much success on either Cortana ir OK Google as I am not an English speaker. I know other people had success with Siri.
You cannot navigate many webpages without JavaScript enabled. Ghostery is telling me there are over 17 trackers on slashdot. Many of these slow down the initial web page render.
As such, anything that forces web developers to make fast loading pages makes me happier.
ARM does sell synthesizable cores. What synthesizable means is that you can convert that code into logic gates. So you need at least a standard cell library with the fine detail of those logic gates. Memories are not included, as memories are not synthesizable code if you really want a high bit density and low power usage. In order to get data in and out of the chip, you will also need a DDR interface (this is not synthesizable) with also a DDR memory controller (this one is). Add to this one that you need to generate internal clocks, so you might also want to get a few phase locked loop blocks. Recent CPUs also include some sort of dynamic voltage scaling, frequency scaling, thermal protection, etc. You also want to have peripherals connected through SPI, I2C, maybe UART, and maybe you want an interconnect fabric so that the CPU can talk to them. I am sure I am missing a lot of these things.
So, it is not just the CPU core, you need a lot more of things in order to get some product. FPGA manufacturers give you both the hardware and the software to translate the code into something you can upload to that FPGA, and usually give you some freebies like DDR and PLLs. However, there are limitations on what you can get from an FPGA. ICs are the way to go if you want to be on the bleeding edge on either performance, price or power efficiency. And as far as I know, the tools to do ICs in advanced processes like 10nm are not either free to use or open source. They are probably also a patent field. At the end of the day, you do not want to spend over one million dollars with tools that tell you "USE AT YOUR OWN RISK".
I watch some sort of light documentary describing this material. This material is used in things like protection bits in motorcycle jackets, and it was ready for me to buy. Other than that, this post sounds like an advertisement.
Just so that you know, WhatsApp might be installed in over 90% or more of the smartphones in some countries in Europe. And there might be more smartphones than population in a few of these countries. People of all ages are using this tool. Even people that cannot agree to the TOS, like children under 13, are using it.
Regarding the OP, 10 or 20 years ago, the landline phone system was going down at 12.01am 1st of January, local time. It is now whatever mobile application the populace fancies these days. I haven't checked this one, but nobody reported IRC going down.
As stated on the first link, IDW is doing a better job at getting artist driven comics out. The appalling thing of artist driven comics is that they can start a new story from scratch, sometimes being fresh. DC and Marvel comics are hard to get involved in them when they need to cater for both long standing fans and drive new fans into it. It is a difficult mix. As a comparison, just imagine trying to get into "Lost" at the fourth season, and not knowing there are going to be even six seasons. There are just too many things going on at that stage that require you to invest time (and money) for digging up. The initial investment is hardly appalling.
I am buying just two series these days : Berserk (follower since 2001) and Saga. I find manga usually easier to follow. I also like how Saga is delivered in thick hardcover versions months or years after the issues are printed.
I watched various documentaries about Facebook ruining lives, or at least making those lives harder. One of the examples was a party photo of an Irish politician before he became a politician. A yellow newspaper got wind of that photo and created a story from there. This one can happen to everyone, even non public personas. What I heard is that some HR companies do search for details in social media profiles.
My motto is: Do not publish anything unless you gain something from it. Be boring about what you publish. Do not let anybody see your underwear.
I find Line the most sane of the bunch, at least regarding the TOS. Unfortunately, I only have one contact in this Japanese focused IM tool. I tell the other people to send me e-mails.
I wonder, how much of that usage done in the work place can be measured from the outside? I do use IE at work just on the basis of covering my ass: I do not want be the guy that leaked information to the outside world by installing Chrome or Firefox. IE is installed and managed by the IT team, as such, they should come up with standard configurations that are not leaky.
That is about the only thing I can think of HDCP: you XOR and scramble the signal you send through the link and thus reduce emissions. However, it only does encrypt the signal from GPU to monitor. The link is usually short and you better have physical restrictions here too. MitM attacks can still be done by plugging an HDMI repeater device.
HDCP, like any form of DRM, ends up doing more harm than good to the user. As far as I know from the Windows machines, HDCP is enabled by DVD and Bluray players - probably 4K Netflix too. I cannot think of any other reason to enable HDCP other than licensed multimedia archives. I would not enable HDCP on my computer for most of the typical usage scenarios of any personal computer.
I thought that Gmail, the web application and the mobile application, use a proxy for image delivery: https://gmail.googleblog.com/2...
Please correct me if I am wrong.
From the twenty seconds I spent researching this, it looks like companies that do e-mail tracking tell that Apple devices are the ones getting like 45% of the e-mails - just check https://emailclientmarketshare... . I find this number a little bit too high and probably biased, so let us forget about these companies. Anyhow, there are better ways to track your future ex. Like breaching into Facebook, using WhatsApp or diving into Google location history.
For some reason, laptops require up to date drivers. Installing Windows 7 on a brand new laptop is similar as installing an old Ubuntu distribution. It might or might not compute, and even so, you might be missing peripherals.
The company I am working for took the plunge and is now delivering laptops with Windows 10.
The calculations miss the blanking that is required by the CEA861 rev G format. The throughput reduction trick is to use 4:2:0 pixel encoding rather than 4:4:4. I hope it does not copy the failure that was 4K with most content being movies at 24 frames per second. As a side note, HDMI 2.1 also allows for video compression, using the same VESA DSC format that DisplayPort introduced.
The other notable throughput increase is in eARC (previously ARC), allowing 32 channel audio now.

Promised since the 60s!
And call me whenever this is implemented. Otherwise, it is just hype.

VP9 is supported by Xbox One X, at least. This is the reason why YouTube works with 4K streams on this latest revision of the console.
