Anyone know how big the Asian demographic is in the US? Would help in guesstimating sincerity of this (vs just a play to get their vote after losing the black and hispanic groups)
Regardless, the bigger story of the alarming anti-meritocratic direction in the US is the poor social mobility in general.
Caveat for those outside the U.S. American vernacular generally does not include people from the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, Central Asian countries or Siberia as "Asian".
So there are lots of qualifications needed for what constitutes this number. If it is a self-selected demographic choice it may include these groups, e.g. many peoples from the Indian subcontinent refer to themselves as "Asian" even though this doesn't align with the American use of the word.
People often bungle their firewall rules because they don't know any better, but Amazon continuing to willfully fuck up TCP for all of AWS is a pretty large issue for the functioning of the net at large.
I would have assumed it's declining in terms of market share (driven down by tablets/Mac/Linux) but there's a surprisingly large absolute drop coming as well:
LuaJIT doesn't have increased memory usage. 32 or 64 bit, it always packs pointers into the low bits of NaN doubles. Addresses fit because current 64 bit chips actually use 48 bit addresses.
(LuaJIT also uses a limited memory arena for allocations but it's not inherent to the design; it could be changed but the current garbage collector can't handle that much data)
Is your "complete system data from multiple platforms" from JS apps?
Let's also not confuse "a sufficiently smart compiler..." with real-world observed performance :)
BTW data layout transformations like compressed fields would also be useful on 32-bit. The vast majority of object graphs would be happy with 16 or even 8-bit identifiers, not to mention JS numbers which are all 64-bit floats even on 32-bit platforms.
Yes. It sucks to worry about your chargers when you're not going home for the night (trips or something more spontaneous).
Even for a 9-5 family lifestyle, charging every night is a
habit you have to learn and you need to keep chargers around
your night table.
Phones used to work like this (run for a week) before the
current smartphone craze. For other stuff you could have
a PDA that wouldn't leave you incommunicado if it ran out
of juice.
As a new Nexus 7 owner my favourite tablet feature is: I can do my Android stuff without worrying about running my phone out of battery. Now if it only fit in my pocket...
I don't know if you're a rich guy planning to marry down in the social hierarchy, living in a culture where where women don't work or just a misogynist but this is generally false in the west. Dual incomes with a single household is very economical compared to life as a single.
See eg. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dinks.asp "A household in which there are two incomes and no children (either both partners are working or one has two incomes). DINKS are often the target of marketing efforts for luxury items such as expensive cars and vacations."
