The form factor and the pricing of these netbooks is dead. For now there are no good replacements.
The closes in terms of what they set out to do are either Chromebooks or Windows tablets. As you seem to be looking for a Windows machine, the likes of Asus Transformer Mini or Microsoft Surface Pro provide a device that's faster, lighter, smaller in terms of volume, bigger in terms of surface and have a bigger and better screen than Eee 701. They are also more expensive.
Ha, I completely agree with your premise, but I don't think jQuery is really a bad offender in this respect. Basically it's just a way to query the DOM using CSS selectors and some utility functions for working with it that way. Hardly Lego. Some other frameworks are pretty bad in this respect though.
None of the examples from the article are very convincing, even at these poststamp resolutions with massive compression artifacts. The whole point of the uncanny valley is that the last mile is very hard. I'm sure that it's all very impressive, but it's a bit early to say that they've crossed the uncanny valley. They better get close to the valley first.
This is not an example of no net neutrality, as Portugal has net neutrality.
You misunderstand what you are looking at, you take a base subscription (for instance a package 30GB internet, currently for 35 euro/month). You can then get these discount packages for certain groups of services so the usage will not go from your main data package. So for instance: 10GB extra of video services costs 5 euro / month extra. Does that really sound like a nightmare scenario to you?
In fact, all of the EU has net neutrality. This does not violate European net neutrality as you are allowed to differentiate based on type of service (but not on an individual service). So you could discount all video services, but you cannot discount only your own video service.
His memo was fine. There was only controversy because it was misrepresented completely. Plenty of non-autistic people get hit by this type of witch hunt and they also tend to have difficulty seeing it coming.
Does the existence of X somewhere in America indicate that there is a society wide problem? Do you think nobody in America would use this type of service?
Even the simplests of software consists of thousands of lines of code where a simple mistake can compromise the system. People make mistakes. Online documentation gives flawed examples. It will take an infinite amount of time to write software to perfection. The poor guy in India working 80 hours per week coding the system has no way to know every system he is writing code for. Nobody has ever told the entry level developer that the secure_rng() or mysql_escape_string() library function is in fact not secure for his particular case. Code auditing or testing can never check everything. You only notice the places where things go wrong. Things that were secure once are no longer secure, but the code is still there. It's just a prototype, we'll never use it in production. It's 1985 and you haven't considered that someone will still use this code in 2017 or hook up your code to a network. Got to make the deadline that was set deliberately tight by an 'efficiency' seeking project manager. The experienced programmer was too expensive. Someone else was supposed to filter that variable.
In many companies even the meaningless codename of the project you worked on is under NDA. Do what everyone else does and just describe what you did in vague terms like the technology used, and value to the company. Yes, it may have been a mess, but it was used by the client and may have delivered millions in value to the company. That's what matters in this industry. There are many total garbage pieces of code out there that rake in gazillions for companies. Also, there is an enormous amount of developer jobs. If some have requirements that you can't or don't want to fulfill like linking to live code, just skip them. If you really want to show off code, write something small and new (preferably slighly related to what you want to do), put it up on Github, and link to that. It can be a tiny project that just shows that you can write code that does something in an acceptable way.
Also, you sound quite bitter about your former employer. I understand that, because well, aren't we all. But, they must have done something right being in business for some time and hiring people. Try to focus on the positive, they are in your past now. Not for some zen reason, but if you give negative vibes about previous employers in an interview, that counts as a red flag to many HR people.
You seem to be confusing a couple of things, but your overal message, to just force the use of the defender scans, is true (I did mention it in the previous comment, but perhaps I dismissed it too easily). There are some things to keep in mind: - Might break compatibility with some use cases Microsoft needs to support - It might be difficult to do this only for some kind of files like executables - There may be workarounds like exhausting the cache in either space or time which would make the fix useless Or god knows what other issues Microsoft is facing in their ancient SMB codebase. I guess it's good to question Microsoft over this, but it's probably not helpful to come up with magic handwaving solutions. If it was really simple, I'm sure they would have done it already.
SMB is basically either block level or streaming. It doesn't just copy the entire file over the network the moment you access it, unless your system requests all of the file. Depending on the server, connection and file request configuration, the received data can usually be cached. You don't want it to always cache, because sometimes you may actually need updates in data. I would hazard a guess and say that the exploit relies on a situation where caching is off. Then you get the following issue: defender cannot use the calls the executable makes for reading the file, because it needs to scan the whole file at once, so it just requests the whole file. However, the executable will make it's own read calls, so the only way to reuse the data is using the aforementioned caching. Which needs to be off in some situations. It doesn't typically get sent twice, and there is also not an easy fix without breaking lots of people.
The article mostly mentions L5 and the specsheet doesn't mention L1C: https://www.broadcom.com/produ... Of course, they will need something on L1: L1 C/A might suffice but L1C+L5 would be better, so who knows, maybe they just didn't mention L1C.
Few people can become a professional athlete with a couple of weeks training. Bootcamps (for pretty much any hard skill) can be effective to learn certain things, but they are no substitute for the talent and level of commitment and effort required to work at the top level of a coveted field.
You want your deployment system to be predictable, and as my old AI professor used to say, intelligent means hard to predict. You don't want AI for systems that just have to do the exact same thing reliably over and over again.
The law you are talking about ('Wet computercriminaliteit III') has not been passed by the senate yet and thus cannot be the legal basis. The other parts are up to interpretation by the courts, it's quite possible that you will end up right about them.
As a Dutch person I wonder what the legal basis is for all this. They are running illegal marketplaces, hacking into accounts on foreign services using data they got elsewhere, and exchanging data with countries like Thailand where people might get capital punishment for drugs related crimes. While going after black drug exchange markets is a good thing, it all gives the impression that they don't hold back. Dutch prosecutors say they have only done 'internal analysis' on the legality, which means that these actions have not even been approved by a judge. In emergencies this is allowed, but if a judge doesn't agree with any of this, or doesn't agree this was an emergency that enables doing this without court approval, Dutch police are committing a whole range of crimes here without legal backing.
FPM is just an interface, it makes no difference in PHP execution performance. Otherwise, I agree completely, PHP is a lot faster than people pretend it is. I don't particularly love PHP as a language, but it's relatively fast, easy to write, there are many programmers available, everyone supports it, and it's very easy to run in large scale production environments with it. It just gets the job done. There seem to be a lot of haters out there that just hate PHP because it's popular and are incapable of making any real arguments against it.
I had the exact same issue, but there is actually a virtual touchpad included in the latest version of Windows 10: https://www.onmsft.com/news/ho... I think Microsoft originally intended you use the pen as a mouse, but I'm not a fan of that either.
Plenty of people will need the keyboard, but isn't there also a sizable portion of people that just has no need for it?
I have been using a surface pro 4 for about 6 months now. When I'm at work I just plug it into an actual keyboard and monitor. For that it is amazing, it packs plenty of power, and without the keyboard it is lighter than a 12" Macbook. When I'm on the sofa or train, I just use the on screen keyboard as for me personally the tablet form factor is more convenient to hold. I bought a keyboard cover with the Surface, but it has just been collecting dust (which it does more than I'd like with the textile-like material used).
Of course, people that need to do extensive typing on their lap or while away from a USB keyboard won't be able to do without the keyboard, but I would say a pretty large portion of people that I see around me would be off just fine without the keyboard.

Absolutely, just Google it.

The salaries offered by Google, Microsoft, etc. to higher level AI researchers are actually closer to 500k currently. Your point still stands though.

To be fair, self employed means you don't have a salary. It should be obvious freelancers with 100% billable hours make more than regular employees.
