That'll improve your loadtimes, but I'm having a really hard time seeing that as the reason why most people aren't maxing out their CPUs all the time. Unless something has gone terribly wrong, you should never be hitting your disk that much.

During standard home computer operation, both the CPU and the disk are generally quite idle.
anybody know a ubuntu ppa for this ?
There is an early-stage stackexchange site for theoretical physics. http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/23848/theoretical-...

It seems obvious to me that something for "physics" questions is too broad to be technical. Even "theoretical physics" sounds too broad. On the other hand, there has been little traction for the high energy physics stack exchange:
http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/6633/high-energy-p... and http://mathoverflow.net seems to work really well in spite of being really broad.
Mm not entirely - I'd imagine that they could fairly easily run wpa-enterprise, authenticating against Comcast servers. Then when a user tries to connect, they'd be asked for their Comcast creds, which they could type in once, and then be authenticated with on all such servers.

It's how eduroam works, and that works fairly flawlessly (provided the routers have enough bandwidth).
Do you have experience teaching a group of 10+ students?

>But there is no reason for a teacher to explain something when Khan academy has already done it and often done it far better.

You're skipping the often difficult task of getting the students to properly engage with khan academy.
Because journalism, particularly at the highest level, is about raw power. It is about bringing important people to heel, on behalf of the public.

Not treating journalism as public utility/service with high standards for integrity has something to with it.

Compared to German standards, substantial parts of journalism in the US is a joke (an unfunny one, watching Fox News feels like a fever dream for instance). Too much bias and pollution with opinion and entertainment (opinions are fine, but only if clearly demarcated and from someone who has skin in the game and knows what's up, not random shrill plastic lady), too little self-reflection/introspection, too much clickbait, too short memory, blatant disregard for journalistic best practices. That said, the harsh financial environment there is at odds with sober, analytical (=boring) reporting.

Too bad "öffentlich-rechtlicher Rundfunk" (or information about it for that matter) basically isn't available in English, it would do well to lead by example (I've seen dw mentioned but that's a drop in the ocean really).

That said current US societal problems have a more complex etiology than just media consolidation, but it really doesn't help to have the "mirror of society" blunted as much.
> Starlink has committed to provide service to these users as a term for receiving these FCC subsidies.

And they can prioritize them over other US customers. But making the service available doesn’t mean 70% adoption in 6 years. Nor does it mean they need the same satellite density globally to cover their US customers. They can very much prioritize deployment of a larger network before finishing their 12,000 customer network just as some North American customers receive service before global coverage was available.
> Honestly, this appears to destroy a fundamental promise that Java made when it was first released: Write once, run anywhere.

Correct. And I’m fine with that, it was a terrible idea right from the start for most use cases IMHO. If I never need to maintain a system wide Java again to run user applications I will be very happy.

The purpose of system runtimes (for Java, Python, whatever) is for running system components IMHO. User installed application dependencies beyond actual OS components are a user/vendor issue and I think the right way to handle that is on a per application basis.
We modded an SUV to have monster truck tires. It allowed you to drive over passenger vehicles like speed bumps.
temperature range?
What's "the rest of the developed world"? France has 21k new covid cases in a day, and a population of 67 million versus a population of 328 million in the US, so the per capita rate is almost identical. Other west European countries at least are similar, usually slightly lower, but not dramatically lower e.g. by orders of magnitude.
I think they meant they would fail it without preparation. As a former Indian driver myself (still Indian :-P, but don't drive there) I'd happily wager that a vast majority of drivers who learned and have driven only in India would fail a behind-the-wheel test in the US. I've failed a couple myself, even with lots of practice (I'm gonna cite nerves, instead of a lack of knowledge, in my case but still).
As a mainly frontend developer, I agree. I've spent more time configuring tooling, than writing code, in this new project I'm starting. I don't want to write plain JS, but the top used frameworks have strayed so far from basic JS that it's getting a bit ridiculous.

Svelte appears to get rid of some of the boilerplate and verbosity stuff you find in other frameworks, though it's still a pretty magic framework. Looking forward to trying out SvelteKit.

Fully agreed, though i would love to be proven wrong by someone coming out of the blue and creating something from scratch.
How is "starting a small business" different from a "startup"?

Isn't every startup a small business, by definition, until it gets big?
Isolines I'm not sure, the market does weird things with pricing, something further away may end up being cheaper.
LLC tax returns can be very complicated--expensive. They file a partnership return. For best results you should find a CPA who does a lot of LLC/Partnership tax returns that you can afford and follow the CPA's advice.

I would be wary of doing what others do tax wise, or asking for online help, because everyone's situation is different. Be careful not to be Pennywise/Pound Foolish with this.
I believe the post in question believes they have enough evidence to justify the actions and is speaking from a position of surprise/resignation at the state of things.

Kind if like, 'I cant believe it's come to this, but given all the evidence, it's justified."
It's still being done in US and abroad. Never ended. The evidence from Tuskegee to Margaret Sanger's vision is irrefutably still in use.
>Upon opening an Incognito tab, Chrome warns you that your activity might be visible to websites that you visit. I'm sure Google's attorneys are aware of this.

To a layperson, there is a marked difference between activity and identity - there is nothing on the tab that states that the identity of the user is still discoverable.
There are potentially patents on the code, e.g. https://www.google.co.nz/patents/US8515891 which discusses PEX + regex (mentioning SMT solvers).
On the one hand I agree. On the other hand the discrepancy to solar time is growing quadratically due to tidal friction of the earth with the moon, which is prone to create interesting issues some centuries down the line.
My phone has a 1GHz ARM processor and is used as an alarm clock! Can't a big thing be a small thing too?
People would be very annoyed if suddenly paperbacks cost more than hardcovers.

The situation with ebooks is worse. The ebook costs even less than a paperback to produce and distribute, and let sometimes cost more than the hardcover.

I refuse on principle to pay more for a Kindle ebook than amazon is selling the hardcover.

Edit: Just to clarify, I am happy to pay the same price as the paperback. Paying more than the paperback is what I refuse to do.
Why would you expect founders to be that closely distributed by race?

Assuming race is random, there are only a few thousand founders so it’s quite possible to have lots of variation in samples that small.
Muting doesn’t help if the person with background noise has to talk, unfortunately.

I had to work in one of those shitty wework offices at my last job. desk was so small I couldn't even fit the monitor on it correctly.
As I begin to form my own company, one of my priorities is to allow my employees to have at least some of their time completely at their own discretion

The only way to really give employees freedom to work from anywhere completely at their own discretion is to let them work full-time remote.

If you require any face time at the office at all, then they have to live within commuting distance, or at least within flying distance.

An employee may prefer to work from Bali, but if he has to go into the office twice a month, he can't (reasonably) do that.
Satellite links are orders of magnitude slower than fiber.
Maybe our definition of what counts as a friend differ? I don't really consider work acquaintances (some of those I loved working with and would do again in a heartbeat if the occasion presented itself) "friends".

A friend is someone I feel I can confide in and would not hesitate to call if I ever needed help with something personal. I can count those on a single hand, and in my case, none of those came from work, and that kind of deeply rooted relationship definitely wouldn't come from a company or team-wide organized retreat.
In the sense that people with rhinovirus symptoms usually say "I have a cold", yes.

It seems it's best to think of "cold" and "flu" as totally informal terms with a wide range of possible meanings. I've had Actual Real Influenza twice and both times it knocked me on my ass for a week, lost weight, etc. yet I hear people saying "I have the flu" when they have mild symptoms and only miss a single day of work. Hard to take such a wide range medically seriously.
This is amazing. A lot of people forget the fact that the filesystem is in a way a database, and a flexible one at that!
You’re being really cynical in a way that doesn’t reflect the reality of the situation. This doesn’t entail scam marketing, ICO offers, and airdrops just because that’s something that happens in a lot of the rest of cryptocurrency space.
Wouldn't be wiser to get rid of the original office and rent some much smaller space, maybe only meeting rooms?
Yes, it's kind of funny (and more than one kinds of sad) how the reaction to "sick person does something terrible because his life is miserable," is "hey let's make more people miserable".
Isn’t the point of high core counts for workloads that can actually be parallelized? Like compilation or graphics rendering?

That is my suspicion as well.
There's a substantial amount of new F# content (you can start with official docs for example) but this site in particular is wonderful because it's managed to feel relevant to F# programmers for almost a decade. Fantastic content.
I don't think we're remotely at that point yet. Anyone who has paid attention to US news at all last year can see that we've still got some ways to go before the society of the last man is realized. That said, the conditions for another Mishima to arise just aren't there despite the rise in right-wing rhetoric and violence in the past few years.
And this is SO important. Even if this is the sole reason why * should be considered bad.

In some cases on big databases, adding covering index is the way to make your apication perform well, by eliminating those table lookups.
>Why would I let someone else dictate what I listen to when there's plenty of on-demand content available 24/7?

To be fair there's still good radio out there and not even just on the internet. The really commercial stuff on most of the FM band is tedious but personally I really love people who are passionate about music play me things I might not have heard before. Things like BBC Radio Six Music and the former offshore pirate Radio Caroline are both pretty good in this regard.

A good radio DJ can create a far more personal and human experience than just waiting for Spotify's algorithm to give you something vaguely related.
It isn't about relying on the cloud. It is more about incompetent cloud providers.
Amazon's EC2 SLA is extremely clear - a given region has an availability of 99.95%. If you're running a website and you haven't deployed across across more than one region then, by definition, your website will have 99.95% availailbility. If you want a higher level of availability use more than one region.

Amazon's EBS SLA is less clear, but they state that they expect an annual failure rate of 0.1-0.5%, compared to commodity hard-drive failure rates of 4%. Hence, if you wanted a higher level of data availability you'd use more than one EBS volume in different regions.

These outages are affecting North America, and not Europe and Asia Pacific. That's it. Why is this even news? Were you expecting 100% availability?
Good points. Social news (HN, reddit) is a great place to find early adopters, and interact directly with them.

I launched http://iDoneThis.com here on HN in January and now we have 5,000 users. A benefit to that was not only finding early adopters and engaging with them, but in that engagement, you have the opportunity to find what people want and improve the product. One thing we discovered from the international audience at HN is that our site didn't work with unicode, and folks abroad wanted to be able to adjust their timezone from the default US/Pacific. We added those features and now we have a huge following in Japan.

I wrote a bit more about how we got our first 5,000 users here: http://blog.idonethis.com/post/4779807862/how-we-got-our-fir...
Neato. I want to see a game made out of this.
Running out of ports is a poor way to put it, but it can be read as "Run the target machine out of fd (file descriptors)." In unixy systems there is a system parameter limiting the maximum number of file descriptors that can be open at one time (actually 2, per-proces and system-wide limits). These limits need to be turned up for big servers.

The why is a pretty boring story: the number exists as a check against runaway processes or big jobs (e.g. busy servers) causing an I/O overload, so the numbers are set to a "reasonable value" by default. Of course the reasonable value is usually much lower than the system can handle, and at tuned for older common hardware.
Maybe that's true for an individual, but from a broader (societal/economic) view this is a bigger problem, because it affects many more people.
Amazon is really not being kind to you guys; I sort of hope you'll find an alternative solution fast!

Confirms for me that Bitcoin is on track to disrupt credit card payments, possibly ACH/Wire, and not to be a replacement currency. Credit cards handle about 3.6 trillion/year in transactions. With 3% per transaction fees, chargebacks and equipment costs -- there are plenty of reasons for merchants to increasingly accept BTC provided companies like Coinbase are prepared to take the BTC market risk by sweeping BTC into local currency.
Any issues connecting to sites over SSL using Privoxy? I'm thinking mainly of banking web-sites.

We've just released new CrystaX NDK 10.1.0. Compared to previous 10.0.0, this release include many fixes plus Boost and ICU prebuilt libraries out of the box, allowing developers just use them and don't worry about their compilation and linked problems.

Check it out and enjoy!
Actually another thing I am curious about is how asynchronous clock domains are handled Usually this is something thats quite tricky to model in a HLS tool. Also, how about simulating the interactions between the domains?
Before a couple weeks ago, the last time I had used C++ was back in 1998, I think. I never enjoyed "C with classes" and I vowed to never touch it again. Last year, I attempted to put together a simple MNIST digit recognition program using plain old C. I gave up and did it in Fortran (working with matrices is SO easy!). Now, however, I've matured a little and realized that I really needed to get back into C++ and seriously use it. So I retaught myself the language using Stroustrup's Programming book (the one that has C++14) and his preferred methods (teaching the use of vectors early on is great!).

Now that I've approached the language in its C++14 mode and using good libraries such as Armadillo, I've come to the conclusion that all this talk about C++ being too low-level and too difficult is ridiculous. If you're not using libraries and programming in a higher level, you're not doing it right. I've been rewriting that digit recognition program and I've yet to declare a pointer or allocate any memory on my own. In fact, its so high-level that it almost looks like Matlab code.
The hard part isn't generating the profiles -- that's dead easy. It's making the programs generate fluent conversation in natural language with interesting domain knowledge -- that's still believed to be AI-complete.

There are pitfalls of using glass partitions but the benefits fit in with the work culture like transparency and openness (meaning - encouraging people to reach out to each other with little or no friction involved). Also it helps with having loads of writing space without wasting paper.

I should mention that I work here and that another friend did share your concerns too. But I feel the positives outweigh the negatives in this case.
Ah, the good old "if no one uses it as a currency it will die, so you have to spend it!" argument. The answer is that we are using it: as a store of value. But every time we explain this, detractors will invariably reply either that it's not a good store of value because it went down in <insert cherry-picked timeframe>, or that saving is bad for the economy because central bankers say so.

For these sort of questions, simply compare it to gold: Is it dying because "no one is using it" to buy groceries? Does it sometimes go down, and yet a lot of entities, including central banks, consider it a great store of value?
Do you know of any court case testing this?

My contract with a German company, specifically had clauses saying that anything on their systems is something that can inspect and/or look at.

We aren't talking a small company here, but one with multiple large sites; which means multiple large workers councils ( basically a union for a specific company location ).

Remember hiring in Germany has to be approved by a Worker's Council and the company has to pay for the council to receive independent legal advice as well.

They all suffer from the same problem, none of them are ramping sources. You need a peaker plant for all of them (though, you'll need more for solar and wind).

Storage is a problem that simply needs to be solved for any green solution. Nuclear and wind included.

A big issue is that solar, wind, and nuclear simply don't play well together. Nuclear wants to be a base load, solar and wind push down the maximum base load feasible.

Without storage to smooth out the demand curve, you can't efficiently operate either.
People are allowed to copyright things that they used tools to create. "Artificial Intelligence" is a tool. The first word should be a big hint. Just like if you trained an AI to murder people it would be a weapon, it can be a paintbrush or a typewriter.

This does promise to be more interesting, though. Humans, especially when it comes to art, are extremely (maybe even biologically) invested in the incorrect idea of 'essentialism'. People believe that objects have their history somehow attached to them. It's the reason the Ship of Theseus riddle perplexes people. If you replace every piece of a ship over time, is it still the same ship? It's a nonsensical question. It's a ship. There is no such thing as some separate identity which sets it apart as "the same" from one point in time to another. The fiction we invent to make the world make sense to us might be unavoidable in our minds, but it is nonetheless fiction. And when it comes to art, the fiction of something being "human made" as opposed to "AI made" will definitely play a large role in the future. At least as large a role as whether the Mona Lisa is "an original" or "a forgery". This notion that an objects history can have meaning itself, separate from the atoms and molecules of the object itself, is largely where the "value" of art lies, certainly in collectible artworks and "originals".
Not arguing that the arrangement is just or fair, only about what the intent of it is.
The issue here is not about the feature or existing possibility here. The issue is about people being followed and then they were doxed. This is creating a hostile workplace. Google makes investigation, gives out warnings, bad behavior continues, result is inevitable

Some people would demand fake videos supporting their point of view be taken seriously.

Also, it isn't difficult to imagine a future where people are criticized for correctly identifying deep fakes.
Yeah. (Author here.)

The goal is not a specific level, just to do as much as possible with local rewrite rules. That gets some surprisingly high-level features, but the result overall will still seem fairly low-level.

(And then there's all the runtime overheads. Mu isn't trying to compete on performance.)
Any risk analyst could tell you all the factors you don't take into account when you do a simple comparison of renting a new, cared-for, insured vehicle for which someone else is responsible vs. the crapshoot of buying something second-hand, which you now have to take on, whatever goes wrong.

I also doubt you are taking fuel into account with this comparison, which was the primary source of savings mentioned when you own a small car and rent a truck as needed.
