> and it's running on PHP 5.3.3 on a way outdated version of CentOS

That's probably not as bad as you make it out to be. CentOS 5.x is supported through 2017 with security patches, as would be CentOS/RHEL's customized PHP package. You don't get the new features, but you get the back-ported security fixes.

And if you want a newer version of PHP, you can always use IUS Community's repos[1]

> The IUS Community Project is a brain child of the RPM Development Team at Rackspace Hosting. Since 2006, we have provided and maintain packages for the latest versions of PHP/MySQL and other common software on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, because a lot of our customers strongly demand it. Internally we maintain a number of package sets for an audience of thousands of production servers. Until now, these packages have only been available internally to Rackspace customers. After a while we started thinking: Why not make this available publicly for everyone to benefit?

hm. that sounds like a better idea than trying to, you know, talk with people, because the decision makers usually see the resume, while you only get to talk with people that don't matter until the actual interview.
Agreed on the hole pattern.

Is that a lot? How many does a similarly positioned company buy, say Alphabet, Dell, or Cisco? Seems like every time I find a neat niche networking or security product I like, Cisco or someone ends up buying it. Context would’ve been helpful in this article.
Yeah, I know. Can you answer it, then?
This is not an endocrine disruption but a genetic condition.
I think it's lovely how accessible high quality photographic equipment has become. Naturalism is much easier when it's not just the "professionals" who have access to high-quality telephoto equipment. These clear, detailed photographs were taken in a rush!

Technology is so good that even entry level cameras have sensors that put professional camera sensors from fifteen years ago to shame. It's easy to feel like we are drowning in lazy photography, but the same technology makes things like this possible.
Huh, just tried that on Chrome/macOS on Reddit and it actually went to the end of the www, no less.

Madness.
There's zero difference tax-wise between a Nevada corporation, a Wyoming corporation, and a Delaware corporation when they're operating outside their state of incorporation. In all three cases they pay no state taxes in their state of incorporation.
Coal is worse in that regard because of potential for delays and the binary nature of operating a coal power plant. You either have built the whole thing and it's making some money or you haven't and it's a money pit.
Wouldn't that mean the 3-inch water line cost more to setup? You'd probably need to add bigger piping over the standard sized pipe.

The cost to setup broadband far exceeds the cost for varying amounts. If you use 1 TB and I use 1 GB, the cost to the ISP is basically the same. We already pay different amounts from tiers defined by the speeds we chose.
If your Roomba was programmed to hurt me I’d surround myself with power cords.

This looks like us so it’s easier to see how we’re threatened by it. It’s more visceral. My cats don’t care about my vacuum but if it walked and jumped their neutrons might fire differently.
But you don't pay disproportionally more for your shower than your sink, which I'd argue is the point of network neutrality.
I’m in a similar boat - I’m looking at new cars but want zero screen nonsense and minimal bells and whistles. I would love to contribute to electric cars but all the ones I have test driven have unsafe dash UIs for something as simple as adjusting the cabin temperature. I have driven Audi SUVs for quite while because I have dogs and like to ski and play outside (and even those have had absurd UIs since the mid-2000s), but I may just end up with a late 90s Tacoma - easy to fix, decent all-wheel drive, super-safe and intuitive dash interfaces... the electronic UI future/present is hideous to me and inferior to physical knobs and buttons. Mazdas also look like a decent option.
The bandwidth of fiber is astronomical. Once you have it somewhere, that's pretty much it.

They'll install it in places where it isn't, but that's a one-time cost, not a recurring upgrade cost. Amortized over the "indefinitely" that it will then be sufficient for, it's still negligible.
For those who've not seen equational reasoning used to write programs (or do simple proofs on them), here's an example from SO this week:

* http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5710078/in-haskell-perfor...

Algebra of Programming FTW!

See Richard Bird (or others at Oxford) for more on this style. E.g. http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/1117
Wow, this is beautiful! This made me have one of those moments where I thought, "How'd they do that?" Then I control-clicked and selected "View Page Source". Awesome!
So we keep on fixing it. Big ol' railguns firing mass out into space. (If we run out, borrow some from the moon.)
If there was more invested, I'd recommend a slew of advice for 'talking it over.'

But it seems like this is pretty thin at this point, so walk away.
To the programmer Haskell gives back a tool imperative programming took away -- equational reasoning. That's lost when you write x = x + 1, and it's something that got you through every math class and an essential tool to construct humankind's most powerful abstractions (i.e. design patterns).

Did you ever consider solving an equation to write some code? Haskellers sometimes do. Learn about fmap and foldr and then compare what you know to map/reduce.
Oh, I'm certainly not arguing that you're going to beat hand tuned straightline code. I'm just pointing out that dropping into assembly isn't the only possibly path.
The article discussed that problem, indirectly. The earth is always slowing down, so even if you fixed it perfectly it would become broken with time.
The odds of a single individual being an "intelligent" programmer is much lower than the odds of a team of all present and future programmers for a project being intelligent.
> He urged the Air Force's Space and Missiles Systems Center to "embrace SpaceX innovation and practices," while SpaceX needed to understand the Air Force's need to mitigate risks, and be more open to benefiting from the government's experience.

I found this to be the most important point in the entire article because I'm sure the USAF is very "old guard" with a mentality of "if it isn't broken don't fix it" while on the other hand, SpaceX is the new kid on the block with the newest and coolest tech
It's not that bad … for what I'm doing, and I can do something else when the computer stalls. I've thought about an external TBT SSD, but doesn't seem worth it yet.
Why? How much does Intel have to fear from Apple? It's not like a ton of Windows users will suddenly switch to Mac because of the M1. If anything they will switch to AMD as that still runs Windows.

I think Intel has bigger threats elsewhere. This is just a waste of money and will eventually backfire.
>But the floor can matter too. For someone trained to write high-performance JavaScript, JavaScript's performance floor is higher than Rust's, and they can write more JavaScript faster.

I'm not sure what you mean by the floor here? Experience? The author of the article was experienced in JavaScript and was new to Rust for example.

>Actually, you can fix it by rewriting it as a single-pass compiler to improve the algorithms.

I'd say that's on the same scale of work as rewriting it in a new language.

And even then, this is most likely not a realistic solution, I can almost guarantee you there will be stuff they are currently doing that they cannot do in such an architecture.

The first problem with the words "single-pass" and "Javascript" that come to mind are the out-of-order variable declarations, i.e. var, which bubbles up.

There are a ton of other issues as well.

facebook has ridiculously useful demographic targeting information. Twitter is a little bit more messy and it would be trickier to target as accurately, so the value is less there
While I basically agree with you, the literary nazi in me must say that SF is a genre, not a writing style. The Baroque cycle crosses the historical fiction and SF genres into a lovely mutant child that could be called Historical Science Fiction. The Time Traveller's Wife also crosses genres, with a heavier focus on the Romance than the SF.

Maybe the browser can send a header "Cache-Control: allowpush" that tells the server that the site is not in cache. The server can then push everything. I can't see how server push is useful without client cooperation, unless the resource changes dynamically.

Because this is a toy demo that doesn't do anything, in the real world you need much more that than just to do something simple.

Also it looks "beautiful" to your eye, from a programming perspecting it looks really un-readable if you don't use FP.

I get what you’re saying, but why would a (relatively) wasteful format such as JSON be used on a design using a 6502? Why not a binary one?
ASM, Perl, Haskell, and C all in one JSON parser. I got a kick out of reading this.
Edit: hire an employment lawyer, I am not one.

That said, the way I deal with non-competes and IP in contracts is I ask them to specify the scope of the clause as it relates to the technology domains and businesses involved, for a precise amount of time (e.g. 6mos), and that they will have to pay an additional %30 of the total contract value to exercise it.

Given the three new variables, they have typically (n~=5) come back with variations on two of them. I have not been paid out on one yet, but I have had the agreement re-scoped to apply to narrow technology domains, an inclusion of the cost of the exercise option, and dropped the non-compete period from 3 years to 6 months.

Your strategy is to ensure you can afford retirement, and their boilerplate clause adds significant risk to that plan without compensation. Just say, "hey, this boilerplate section is a bit broad and it adds unncessary risk, here are some options that I would consider."

If they bully you on this, you already know everything about them you need to. However, if you're screwed and you need a job, sign it, take the money, and manage that non-compete clause risk yourself.
Lisp-2 is somewhat like the POSIX shell. In the shell, if you do this:

Thanks for succinctly recapping the core issue here.

Another externality from all this is the growth of misinformation, which our species seems so unaware and defenseless against.

There are definitely large swaths of "McMansions" built in the way you describe, but I don't think it's representative of the entire market by any stretch. Many newly built houses (especially in the Northern parts of the US) are using insulating concrete forms that should last hundreds of years going forward (they're moisture, pest, fire, earthquake, resistant). Several close friends and relatives have built new homes with this method.

The article is about saving datetimes. Usually calendars use datetime too.

If you need to count down X hours you are not looking to save a datetime. Maybe use an egg timer or the countdown feature of a smartphone.
I recommend you look at image optimization. Loading the /nl flag page from NL takes > 9 seconds. On a connection with 20Mb/s down with one of the best ISPs available.

There are 3MB of images on the page; the problem seems to be the high-res map, which weights in at 1.5MB. This image is 2290x798 and it's in an element of 1145x399. I've halved the resolution and converted it to a JPEG, now it's 0.2MB. To make it even easier for you to show the designers I've uploaded it here: http://imgur.com/XcGllGz.

EDIT: it's worse, almost every image in the carousel is double-sized and unoptimized.

Otherwise it's pretty.
Definitely not. Nobody in mathematics considered the efficiency of Turing machines until the late 60's.
I suffer from OCD (which manifests itself as constant anxiety).

My OCD is mainly health related - every pain or swollen part of my body automatically leads me to fear I may have cancer (or other terminal illness).

The constant fear that I may die soon is highly debilitating - I have times where its hard for me to function at work and be a good parent and spouse.

I'm currently taking SSRI medications, which really improved my well-being, and recently started CBT treatment, but it is still a struggle.

I know it is not a popular advice, but if you find it difficult to be productive, try medications at least for a short while. It can help you "break the cycle" and jump start your life.
Once you eliminate the fake transactions, wash trading, tape painting, manipulation, etc, I'd wager you're left with a much much larger proportion of crypto transactions being illicit. Probably close to 100% if you exclude speculation too, since only about 2 or 3 big merchants accept crypto at all.

What I don't like about Nim is that there is not a repl. In Lisp and Clojure you don't need to compile things.

Could someone give a brief comparison between Clojure and Nim? Let's suppose that we implement Clojure in Nim is this a crazy idea?, What about implementing Shen in Nim?. Many people complain because sbcl is not easy to use with C++ libraries, could an implementation in Nim amilliorate those problems?. Many more questions arise but those mentioned are enough.

Congress doesn't have prosecutorial powers against citizens (it has power of impeechment against select government officials). You can be held in contempt for failure to appear, but you cannot be convicted on the basis of what is said, absent action by the courts.
To quote the Wikipedia[1] article on the riots:
"The uprising was a predominantly middle-class uprising against the government of President Fernando de la Rúa, who had failed to contain the economic crisis that was going through its third year of recession".

"The unrest started when Economy Minister Domingo Cavallo introduced restrictions to the withdrawal of cash from bank deposits, intending to stop the draining of deposits that had been taking place throughout 2001 and had reached the point where 25% of all the money in the banks had been withdrawn." People had were previously gradually withdrawing money over time.; no 'bank run' had occurred. The Corralito occurred, which among other political factors lead sections of the populace to riot.

It's actually not bad at all plain, and there are numerous additions that make it quite tasty.
Thrown out due to Laches and lack of standing or lack of injury. Evidence was never actually heard in any courtroom.

Not a single witness affidavit made it into a courtroom.

This is why people are angry.

> Actually they are trying (in vain) to avoid disenfranchisement.

They broke the law. They committed sedition--I copy-pasted the actual definition of the law. It doesn't matter why they were trying to break law, they still violated the law. They ignored all proper legal avenues to take the law into their own lands. You cannot in good faith ever claim to support the rule of law if you support what they did.

Let me put it like this: if I were to kill the President, I would be a murderer. It doesn't matter if I think he's a deranged nutcase whose continued presidency would irrevocably damage the country: I would still be committing first-degree murder, and will still deserve nothing less than to suffer the full consequences of that crime.

> Would that apply to conspiracy to violate election law?

There are only 51 electoral vote certificates for the 2020 presidential election. There were only ever 51 electoral vote certificates. Some cosplayers did pretend to make electoral vote certificates to compete against, but cosplaying an electoral vote does not meet the legal requirements to create a valid electoral vote certificate. Congress's job is to count those electoral vote certificates. 3 USC §15 lays out what Congress was supposed to do yesterday. There is nothing that they did that would violate their actions.

I'm not going to respond to all of your points because my blood pressure can't take this, but I will close out with this comment: what happened yesterday is the electoral equivalent of lynching. Even if you think it is justified, it is still an extralegal attempt by a mob to execute their will, damning the due process of anyone they come across.
It wouldn't be too hard to make a modification to the PeloMon that allowed this. Right now it is a listen-only device, but with an added UART it could just as well control the Bike.
The caching of the random[] array (almost) shouldn't matter, as the access is sequential.

I'm wondering if the difference is the the number of active memory channels. How many channels does your respective computers support? Do you have enough RAM installed so all channels are in use? Are you able to do a RAM bandwidth test by some other means to verify?

Another possibility is that for some reason the base latency is just different between your machines. A commenter added a pointer-chasing variation of Daniel's test on his blog. Maybe run this to find the full latency and see how the times differ?

Finally, there was one more commenter on the blog who reported anomalously fast times on a Windows laptop. It's possible there is a bug with Daniel's time measurements on windows.

But are there any reports of people who use this getting locked out of their account? That would make me very leery as well. Otherwise, I wouldn't personally be worried, especially as the goal is to get off Google in the first place.
This is a nuanced issue. The intentions are indeed purer (if the comparison is restricted solely to someone breaching the Capitol building exclusively due to sincere belief the election was rigged [without displaying bigoted/fascist regalia/symbols] and someone burning down an arbitrary, unrelated private business after George Floyd's death), but two things:

- That's partly why this really highlights the cold immorality and/or the abject delusion of the fomenter of this activity more than it does for most of the mob. I don't necessarily think most of the protestors and rioters are immoral or trying to be malicious: I think they genuinely believe what their leader is telling them and believe they're doing a righteous thing to protect the Constitution and the country. So for a large subset of the people, I think Trump deserves more blame for this than they do, whatever the underlying reasoning behind his actions.

- It's difficult to accurately debate this without empirical classification of offenses (what people did and how many people did them), otherwise it's easy to start reducing a broad situation to one symbolized by its least or most admirable participants.
