Note that both of the setups are quite different in how they boot unikernels. The EoX Zerg demo boots one unikernel per connection by having an HTTP proxy in the frontend spin up the VM.

Magnus' version builds a static set of unikernels whose total resource usage is known ahead of time, and boots them based on DNS lookups as necessary. Because there is a race between a DNS response, the first TCP SYN from the client, and the VM booting up to receive it, there is a helper unikernel called "Synjitsu" which terminates TCP connections and replays them to the MirageOS unikernel as soon as it boots up. This is very easy due to the OCaml TCP/IP stack in Synjitsu sharing its state via serialising it into an s-expression. More gory details in http://anil.recoil.org/papers/2015-nsdi-jitsu.pdf

Now, imagine a version of Synjitsu that did this handover with TLS connections rather than just TCP. The recipient unikernel wouldn't ever even have to know the private key, just the ephemeral session key...
Moreover, if you look closely at many so-called "hardware companies" (especially IoT ones), you can see that they actually stick a SoC into a nice packaging and build an app and a cloud platform for that, even when it makes no sense whatsoever. Why?

Because that's how they get the money. On the cloud it's easier to keep monetizing your customers, and more importantly, you can literally just point out that you have "A platform! That grows!" and get investor money. They all are software companies - not only because it's easier than hardware, but also because it's easier to get funding.

Some of the companies you'd thought of as hardware ones actually admit it. I recall hearing Estimote guys repeatedly telling that they are not a hardware company - they are a software one, that just happens to make trendy beacons.
OP here. Nothing to promote, just replacing my bookmarks with a collaborative list, so I can share what I run across and learn about new tools or services from other people.
This was not even a theoretical problem. There were batch-members who had problems getting into the country because of "Hacker" being in the name.
Any recommendations on learning them, e.g. tutorials?
> This is called competition. It's what you get with net neutrality. Since every ISP has to give you everything equally, the only way they can compete is by building better infrastructure and compete on ping time and bandwidth. This is how it should be. Allowing them to prioritize certain services for a fee (regardless of who pays) means allowing them to stagnate - in fact paying them to stagnate - which is bad for everyone.

Access to everything equally is not physically possible; if we pretend it is physically possible, it's not logistically possible: no ISP is going to peer with all networks at all peering points; and no regulator is going to compel an ISP to peer with all networks at all peering points.

Unbundling is easy to define, and easy to regulate, and offers a way to get competition where it's most effective. Unfortunately, it seems to be not easy to put in place. The basic idea with unbundling is that last mile delivery is cost intensive, and has high barriers to entry, etc: a market solution isn't going to work: instead require that the last mile providers offer wholesale access to get packets to a centralized point (or points) where other providers can deliver the connectivity to rest of the networks. This actually makes sense: once you're at a carrier hotel, you have a large number of options to interconnect; getting from a central last-mile provider building to a carrier hotel is managable, but getting from each home to a specific building is capital intensive.
First, the claim is not that microbes evolved in response to humans. They appeared much before us. The assumption presented here is that some microbes have evolved in ways, recently, that let them (also) attack humans.

Second, yes, it is very natural for us to assume that when we see an effective reproducing pathogen that affects us, that it has evolved to attack us. That is the case with most viruses affecting humans, as the article mentions - everything in the article about coincidence has nothing to do with viruses. (Sometimes a virus is zoonotic, i.e. originated in another species, but has then adapted significantly to us.)

To be effective against humans, typically the pathogen needs to evolve to do so. That is a very reasonable assumption, and yes, we have been making it, and for rational reasons. Interestingly, it turns out that for some bacteria, it is not the case, as the article shows.
I see it like the judicious use of signals intelligence in WWII. If you use it for everything, you risk tipping the enemy off that their crypto is broken. You have to balance the benefit from the inherent knowledge leak from using it.

I'm not saying they have it, but if they had it, they would be foolish to use it all over instead of only on key targets.
Good thing I never mentioned judicial review, right? Appellate reviews satisfies my statement just fine. Also, while judicial review did become reinforced after Marbury v. Madison, you'll note that the power was derived from an interpretation of the Constitution, not the court itself. That the Constitution implies judicial review is in purview of SCOTUS is a long-accepted interpretation of the Constitution.
Well, they're either stupid or lying. I just used Hanlon's razor to decide.
As mentioned above, there is a special law just for this particular place.
How does the French government assert these rights outside of France?
sorry to say, but MS have been ignoring openGL from day one, instead creating the competing direct3D and the resulting mess of double standards in the 3D gaming graphics market. I don't see this as any different, and I don't think they are going to "give it up". MS are adamant about holding the keys to the graphics kingdom.

I would love it if this weren't the case, but it looks to me like they're trying to convince people to put webGL and webSockets into the same logical group of "non complete" standards, when they just plain aren't. It's marketing bullshit, webGL is done and working.
It is very unclear what this thing does. It sounds like Google Wave, and it was very unclear what Google Wave did. You need to beat on this with the simple stick.

And, they are so cute, busily working to help us. (Maxwell's demons were likely inspired by bees).

Anyway, I have a big organic wildish garden, & I notice a big variety of pollinators (as large as my thumb almost, in orange or black, to as small as grain-of-rice size, banded & hovering). Yes, commercially, we rely too much on one species, but at least in Silicon Valley, I do notice we have a diversity of pollinators healthy & thriving, just as we have a diversity of smart people from around the world doing the same. If only those engineers could make honey. (Actually, never mind about that. I do NOT want your honey, only the bees please)
It actually sounds very capitalistic to me. It's no less capitalist than people than timeshares for vacation proprieties, or people in airplane clubs who jointly own a small plane that they all share.
ASP.NET MVC3 is chugging along nicely - I've been using it my new projects and the Razor syntax they introduced has been a huge productivity booster for me. It makes it easier to transition from markup in the view to code (imagine doing (<div>@Model.Property</div> instead of <div><%: Model.Property %></div>) and it makes it easier to read.
The best advice I can come up with is that it’s something that can be actively trained, and that it doesn’t come suddenly. Set up a temporal and physical space for concentration, and commit to leaving it if you feel the need to be distracted. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, but the important thing is to associate that space with concentration at a visceral level. You’ll naturally start extending the duration you spend there as you get used to it.
I read a buttload of Goethe in high school in Germany, we were always rolling our eyes when every year we'd go through another one of his plays or poems. Admittedly, a lot of his stuff is quite good though. I really like "Die Wahlverwandschaften" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elective_Affinities), it sounds dry if you read the summary but quite an entertaining read. I don't know how good the translation is.

I don't really get poetry in general but somehow in song form it works really well. I LOVE a lot of the songs from the 19th century, somehow the overwrought lyrics are perfect in that form.
You could do that, but it is dangerous to do so during an epidemic.

Having body fat helps you if you get very sick. Having low body fat means you are at a higher risk of death when your body has to fight off disease. Being very underweight increases your risk of catching diseases.

Of course, being excessively obese has other risks.

I am not a doctor (although anyone blindly following internet advice needs to be careful!)
Honestly I really don't think there's a solution. You can try everything you can to get yourself into a state of focus but sometimes your brain just rebels against it. I've sort of accepted that there are things that can't be controlled for. If Ive been particularly unproductive for a period of time instead of beating myself up about it I just accept that I've wasted a shit load of time and move on. That's sort of removed the stress part at least.

From a macro perspective though I've gradually come to the view that the average amount of work a man can get done if he's really trying is more or less the same. You might see someone else able to work non stop but that might be because he's doing mindless repetitive tasks. For things requiring more brainpower it's impossible to run 100%. You also get to a point where physical quirks might be the limiting factor. I've had a few times times where I've forced myself to push on with something, pulling all nigjters and what not, and suffered physical and mental burnout consequently which averages out the "productive" period before. Consequently I've taken on a more zen approach to pushing myself, try my best but don't overdo it cause sometimes it might backfire.
"We reverted the change for an undetermined amount of time to better enable access to critical government sites sharing COVID19 information."

This makes a lot of sense. Normally, browsers moving together to turn down an old and insecure protocol would push the last few sites to update, but with everything being a mess because of the coronavirus this isn't a good time.

That's why it's in the interest of everybody for the hospitals to remain functional and that the current speed of growth gets at least significantly reduced.

Sure, I get it. I'm a Bucky Fuller fanboy and I'm always reminding people about how he calculated that we have the technology to provide for everyone already and it's time to repent, quit your job, and slack off.

But if you believe in evolution then WalterBright pretty much has to be right, from first principles.

The interesting thing is that things like daydreaming must be adaptive.

The really mind-blowing thing is that if you take Michael Levin's work seriously ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18736698 ) you have to confront the idea that living tissue thinks.

Does intelligence actually grant an escape from the evolutionary "Wheel of Karma" or just reify the forms that the drive to endure takes on?

Are we engines of terrible purpose or the art of Solaris?
But it's a different, backwards incompatible mess.
Is this an American thing? Thinking that you can take a companies money and then have the right to tell the company what they are allowed to do. If you are unhappy with the way Google operates then you can move jobs to somewhere else. Somewhere that is compatible with your personal beliefs. If you joined a defence contractor it would be odd if you thought you could tell the company not to work on military projects. If you accept the high pay of Google and all the other benefits, then you work on the projects Google management decide on. Otherwise, bugger off and work somewhere else. Simples.
I can't help but think that this X deprecation talk from RH is just some chest beating to rally the troops behind Wayland, same as we used to hear from Ubuntu about Mir.
honestly using diaeresis (things that look like umlauts) while typing stuff out about how people who don't want to work for an evil company are being controlled by other forces just gives off the biggest wannabe top hat monopoly capitalist vibe imaginable.

You are claiming it is noise with no reasoning behind it. If his friends or colleagues knew about this curve, wouldn't that imply they were part of the community.and this he was part of the community?

I'm not sure why you would take such a strong position that amounts to 'nope just noise'.
No, for two reasons. 1) new relays are capped at a low bandwidth for the first few days and 2) relays cannot become guard nodes (and therefore cannot identify real users' IPs) until they have been stable for at least 8 days

It seems this hit the public consciousness a little earlier than the author expected is all. That might have just been a placeholder.
I met a guy who did work in developer relations, which honestly seemed like a great job:

1. Very low stress, no 'on-call' (i.e. when you're off the clock you're off, no worry about servers blowing up).

2. His job basically consisted of writing demo projects showing how to use his company's API, which sounded cool.

3. Also had to do things like run webinars, go to conferences (back when that was a thing), etc.
The name-dropping/link-dropping with an extra discord link that will likely expire long before everything else is tasteless.

A tasteful mention would look like this:

> If you're looking for a scene graph based engine instead of an ECS based engine, checkout $PROJECT_NAME at $PROJECT_LINK and here's an example $EXAMPLE_LINK

I can't vouch for the accuracy of the statement, but it clearly lays out the primary difference in value proposition, and 2-3 distinctions in value proposition would be good.

The goal should be to help people find what they are looking for, not spam.
Hilarious -- but does it actually help anyone?
I realized there is an easier solution: the whole city is a huge building, everyone lives and works inside. And you get time to go out once a while. ^_^.
I've heard Concourse team members describe it by analogy to make, FWIW.

One thing Concourse does well that I haven't seen replicated is strictly separating what is stateful and what isn't. That makes it possible to understand the history of a given resource without needing a hundred different specialised instruments.
There's a level of risk associated with the activity, there's no denying that. Risk mitigation factors can be applied to reduce the risk to a palatable level for a lot of people. Snow tyres, riding slowly, using lights in low light etc.

The opportunity is to convince more people that cycling is a legitimate option for a large group of people. Infrastructure investment instills confidence and further education for both cyclists and drivers help to manage that risk.

Whilst cycling in the snow might not be your cup of tea, there's a cohort of people who could consider it as a net positive to get from A to B, exercise and put less wear into the road. And we need to support those people.
"Relax" is right up there with "no offense, but" as a way to start a message to someone.
Thank you for the information. Fortunately, we are both overcast lovers, so the SAD angle would likely not play a huge role. Growing up in Europe myself, I prefer 9 months of overcast and rain. I'm at a high risk for skin cancer, so this features into my desire to move as well.
For my wife, the primary reason is that her parents are here. She doesn't want to leave them, which I can understand, but at the same time, they are loaded and want for nothing. My parents are long gone, so I have zero attachment to the area other than my wife.
-because the sort of guy to report people as often as was implied in the original post, is the sort of guy who uses 911.

-actually I do, my friend is with the NYPD, and they hate people like that since they waste their time, they can't give you a ticket unless they've seen you break the law

-he said/she said doesn't apply to traffic tickets, so no, there is literally 0 chance of any positive result
Only if the change is negative. If the change is positive, then you have a trend.
The scientific term for work needs to get into the general culture. You can expend a whole lot of energy without doing any actual work. "Working harder" is actually "expend energy" while the actual work done is the same.
Sure there is--the page design. And the page is usable. :)
...grown under the open sun, in ponds. Taking its CO2 from the atmosphere.
Perhaps he means if you're using solar cells followed by Fisher-Tropsch to make actual fuel.

I'm pretty sure plants beat that.

But the base efficiency of plants is horrible : 2% is relatively high in plant species (solar energy input -> produced plant matter output). The most efficient plants in the world are close to 4.5% efficient.
Low latency + adequate bandwidth + well-designed sites make for a pleasant web browsing experience. If any one of those aren't present, it somehow seems less professional. Plus, the time between clicking a link and the next page coming up is hugely important if the visitor is on a nice connection. I feel like a lot of sites with minimalist layouts (esp. blogs) score big in this area with lower-end computer users.
Folks are going to flood fields with salt water to wildcat algae for fuel plants. I know I would if I lived near an algae plant and had the land.

The article claims there is no erosion issue - so its better on the environment. I disagree - its entirely possible to grow algae and damage the environment at the same time.
Anyone have any real insight on what chance B&N has? Reading this they seem to be asking for 1 - the entire thing to be thrown out (including the patents) and failing this 2 - a trial by jury.

How likely is #1 (i can only assume _everyone_ asks for this..)? Are cases like this normally heard by a jury? Are B&N's claims actually solid? Is there any chance of other companies supporting B&N?

Everything about this reminds me of First they came...

the way they did is exactly what you feared. They got a complex python code and converted it to Java using a converter tool AFAIK.
I tried Clear at one point, thinking I could cut the cord with Time Warner that way. Wi-Max sounds cool on paper, but the latency to the tower was around 30-50ms. This sucks. Browsing the web was not bad, but SSH was a nightmare. Moreover, the latency was inconsistent: 80ms to google.com at one time, 225ms at another. When I talked to the sales rep that sold it to me the plan, he was aware that he had a "ping" in his demo software, but had no idea what it meant. For anyone that wants to try it out: beware their cancellation fees.
It is carbon neutral in the way that when you grow algae, unless you are feeding it CO2 produced by burning oil, or something, the carbon will come from the biosphere. When you burn it, you return it. Hence it is carbon neutral (on a relevant timescale, like less than a year.) Incidentally, oil is also "carbon neutral" but only when you consider timescales that are so long so as to be effectively infinite compared to human timescales.
Actually right now I'm geocoding about 100k addresses for completely free via Google's APIs. Something that would have cost a few hundred dollars a few years back, at the very least.
The author, Clifford Stoll, is quite a character. He wrote "The Cuckoo's Egg", which was (I think) one of the first hacker-thriller novels, which I hold directly responsible for getting me into UNIX as a 12-year old in the 90's. I still have a very old battered copy somewhere.

He's become something of a technology curmudgeon now, and I recall him writing a few articles in the 90's with titles like "Why the Internet is a failure". Interesting guy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_Stoll

edit: Whoops - the book was "The Cuckoo's Egg", not "The Cuckoo's Nest".
Maybe not the M1 but perhaps the M3 or M4 Macs. Who knows.

These Macbooks will be superseded anyway, so I'd rather wait until the software I'm using is fully supported and optimised than to jump into the first generation of M1 Macs with unoptimised / unsupported software running in rosetta.

But right now, in general? No. they are not good for deep learning.
Getting Cancelled doesn't seem to be a thing, from what I can tell. The reason being is that it's hard to remember usernames without photos and being able to follow people etc. The user is much less memorable than the content (which is good).

What I've noticed in the few years I've been here is that you will be downvoted for a useless comment. Whether that comment is hurtful, comedic, arrogant... if it doesn't add to the discussion, then it's kind of a useless comment and will be downvoted.

The thing with HN though is that it is rigorously moderated by users and admins to a fairly strict set of guidelines. This means that if you're posting something that doesn't align with the goals of the community, then it probably won't be liked and feel like you were shadow-banned.
