What distro are you running in your labs? At my university’s cluster running with RHEL 6 (same applies to RHEL 7, hopefully they managed the upgrade over the summer) all that’s needed is installing dkms, then the CUDA repo from NVIDIA, which includes the driver and CUDA packages. Any kernel update will rebuild the kmod on reboot. I’m not 100% certain if that repo is Tesla cards only (which is what we were) but ELRepo also has the generic driver and associated bits (same as negativo, but those are very granular). DKMS is really the only piece that’s necessary to keep the system running (other than keeping an eye on which kernel version the kmods were based on if using the non-NVIDIA repo). DKMS also works just fine with the NVIDIA provides installer, just make sure you have the libglvnd bits installed before you install the driver.

> there's a lot of potential for more types of comics.

He said the same thing. Open your own shops and publishers. Problem is, no girls want to read your politicized feminist comics. Girls have their own thoughts and that causes a certain demand. That demand probably isn't large and historically girls mature earlier and are into reading novels (think YA and chick-lit) and comics don't provide something they aren't getting elsewhere.

I really hate how a lot of the people in this thread keep saying "oh fix it" and "display more comics." That is fucking regulation there. Right now comic stores sell what sells. This skirting of what you actually want to be done to get your outcome is weasel language. Apparently, starting yoru own store and publishers is too much work, but SJW'ing on HN is just fine. Nothing like low-effort whining eh?

Retail space is limited so the lowest common denominator items will be sold to maximize profit. Its not a conspiracy against your values. Its just business.

This was a criminal conviction. It says so in the article.

Are you commenting on the disparate sentencing for the company versus an individual?

It is a deferred prosecution agreement, which is definitely an aspect of corporatism: that is the pre -eminent rights of corporations over natural people.

However there was a criminal conviction of a natural person as well. The DPP was the criminal conviction of the corporation that benefited from the underlying crime.

DPPs exist to avoid collateral damage to innocents dependent on the corporation, whilst still criminally convicting the corporation itself. It’s a balancing game.

With it a bit nuanced I am curious to understand better what you meant by your comment.
The common term for this is “regulated electricity market” vs “deregulated electricity market”.

By your description it sounds you guys in Iowa have a regulated market. There you have a vertically integrated electric utility company who does everything from generation to line maintenance and billing with oversight from a public regulator.

In a deregulated electric market you have separate generator companies who sell wholesale electricity to retail energy suppliers who sell it on to end customers. Transmission companies maintain the grid infrastructure and they are paid by the other participants for this service. This scheme when it works right can result in more competition and thus better efficiencies.

This page seems to explain it quite nicely: https://infocastinc.com/market-insights/solar/regulated-dere...

This. The biggest problem with deregulation is the lack of incentive to build in redundancy and maintenance costs.
An approach some countries use is to operate it like a company, but have it fully government-owned.

If, say, every county it serves owns a share of the company, you set up a structure in which it isn't supposed to generate a profit: shareholders can't run it into the ground for monetary reasons. On the other hand, being independent from the government itself makes it less vulnerable to corruption and harmful interference.
"The grid hasn't progressed much since the Red Scare" -- that's a vast overstatement. The amount of changes in the last 60+ years since McCarthy's day has been tremendous.

We've seen numerous technological advancements like solar, wind, gas, which provide new electrons from new distributed locales. We've seen new transmission projects, not as many as ideal admittedly. There have been new pipelines and new drilling technologies, enabling natural gas peakers while we work out renewable storage.

We've also seen a decarbonization of the dirtiest coal and oil plants -- do you consider huge public health wins "not much progress"?. Even further, batteries, demand response, weatherization, LEDs, and many nascent technologies are all doing their part now to head towards an unthinkable scenario in 1960: a carbon neutral grid by 2050. To entirely revamp your energy system in 100 years is astounding.

I'd recommend checking out Greentech Media and the Energy Gang podcast, you'll hear the latest in energy since the Red Scare.
I am a private person, I don't really like working in public. But in the end I really wonder how much of it matters. I think most people look like they are doing next to nothing and are mostly ineffective as well.

I think monitoring is a poor form of feedback, organizations where this would be necessary are effectively non-conscious entities.

Think an AI that manages the gig-employees the keep the vent tubes on the Windy's DeepFriedExtrude units clean. It just needs to track cleaner consumed per increment and movement in front of the kiosks.
Yes I read the Rust code and just knew it would likely not be dramatically faster than the JS - certainly not as fast as it could be. This is why all languages reward study and depth of knowledge, as you just avoid some of the patterns which kill your performance almost instinctively after a while.

The whole "I wrote it in JS and then ported it" introduction meant I was expecting exactly that kind of problem.
I agree. Already for many years I work almost only on external (bootable) SSD's, for exactly the same reasons.
Parent doesn't mean machines with "Pro" in their branding name, they mean the models actually used by technical/cpu-demanding pros in video/graphic design/audio/3d/etc. (non technical/cpu-demanding professionals, e.g. some office working just needing web and excel, can use Macbook Air or whatever too).

And those aren't out yet, those would be the 16 MBP, the Mac Pro, the iMac and iMac Pro, and so on.

It is on EC2. I pay about £2500 a month - but the monthly cost is lowered because a lot of the machines are on reserved instances - with a big chunk paid up front (sometimes by the people I work with) ... I usually work for free because I'm not really interested in financial gain but more interested in interesting problems ... but I gotta pay the bills sometimes, and the people I work with are usually more than happy to chip in if I need it :)
Well, I personally haven't consented to socializing the cost of anything. I'm not sure what the ethical grounds are for imposing this on me, and in so doing dilluting available accuracy of data about people.

Zero based indexing came from early requirements to address things in arrays using offsets.

Subsequent languages don’t have this issue, and when you think about it, it causes a weird disconnect: 1-based indexing corresponds exactly with how you think about and see elements in a collection. 0 based indexing-despite how comfortable one gets with it requires additional arithmetic.

It’s a relic from the past, and unless you’re doing the very specific thing of indexing via offset instead of position, there’s no reason to hang onto this anachronism.

We must disambiguate between political objectives and the practice of credit risk modelling.

Credit risk, f(X), is an unknown population function that needs to be estimated using observed data X.

If including tallness into X improves our estimate of f(X), then we've gotten a better model.

You've asserted that X should only contain an individual's past actions instead of their inherent traits such as tallness. This may satisfy certain political objectives, and that's fine if we're being upfront about the underlying motivation, but from an ML perspective your prescription doesn't make much sense unless you have some prior knowledge about the function f(X) that tells you that tallness both isn't relevant and isn't acting as an instrumental variable for some other missing feature.

Unless you have such domain knowledge, you've little business asserting what are appropriate features to use in order to improve model quality.
I’m suspicious that your reply may also have a joke embedded in it...
Fair enough. But SVG was defined by the W3C, the very same organisation that standardised XML itself. If anyone, they would know what they’re doing.
>That completely got wrong what the Medieval period really was - the transition from Roman imperial rule to early-modern European states, and a small industrial revolution in technology including agriculture and navigation.

Well, not that wrong, as the "transition from Roman imperial rule" (in the Western part of the empire) was followed by huge decline in government, standards of living, safety, and so on, that lasted many centuries.

(There's a recent trend to downplay this, as there was a trend to overplay how dark the dark ages where in the past. But if one can see through the temporal trends in the historical discipline, they can also see that those times were bad, and the numbers and facts support this).
That is a valid and useful technique, but being able to dynamically allocate stack memory in the first place is separate from using placement new on stack memory.

Adam Asnyk - "Daremne żale"

Daremne żale - próżny trud,
Bezsilne złorzeczenia!
Przeżytych kształtów żaden cud
Nie wróci do istnienia.

Świat wam nie odda, idąc wstecz,
Znikomych mar szeregu -
Nie zdoła ogień ani miecz
Powstrzymać myśli w biegu.

Trzeba z żywymi naprzód iść,
Po życie sięgać nowe...
A nie w uwiędłych laurów liść
Z uporem stroić głowę.

Wy nie cofniecie życia fal!
Nic skargi nie pomogą -
Bezsilne gniewy, próżny żal!
Świat pójdzie swoją drogą.

I love the rhytm of this poem. My rough translation.

Useless remorses, toil in vain
Impotent spells and curses.
Outlived shapes won't be back.
There will be no miracles.

World won't return you,
going back,
translucent ghosts and spirits.
Neither with sword nor with fire
you'll stop a thought that's running.

You're to go forward with alive ones
You're to reach for a new life.
Instead of wearing stubbornly
withered crown of laurels.

You won't turn back the waves of life
Complains won't be of help.
Impotent angers, remorse in vain
World will go its own way.

Also Jacek Kaczmarski songs are great. And I loved the poems in Stanisław Lem "Cyberiad". Translated by Michael Kandel.

Come, let us hasten to a higher plane,
Where dyads tread the fairy fields of Venn,
Their indices bedecked from one to n,
Commingled in an endless Markov chain!
Come, every frustum longs to be a cone,
And every vector dreams of matrices.
Hark to the gentle gradient of the breeze:
It whispers of a more ergodic zone.

In Riemann, Hilbert or in Banach space
Let superscripts and subscripts go their ways.
Our asymptotes no longer out of phase,
We shall encounter, counting, face to face.

I'll grant thee random access to my heart,
Thou'lt tell me all the constants of thy love;
And so we two shall all love's lemmas prove,
And in our bound partition never part.

For what did Cauchy know, or Christoffel,
Or Fourier, or any Boole or Euler,
Wielding their compasses, their pens and rulers,
Of thy supernal sinusoidal spell?

Cancel me not -- for what then shall remain?
Abscissas, some mantissas, modules, modes,
A root or two, a torus and a node:
The inverse of my verse, a null domain.

Ellipse of bliss, converse, O lips divine!
The product of our scalars is defined!
Cyberiad draws nigh, and the skew mind
cuts capers like a happy haversine.

I see the eigenvalue in thine eye,
I hear the tender tensor in thy sigh.
Bernoulli would have been content to die,
Had he but known such a squared cosine 2 phi!

> . If you still think of systemd as an init system, then your knowledge of it is outdated by at least a couple of years.

a couple years ? here's the blog post from 2011, a decade ago:
http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/why.html

There's been as much time between now and this blog post, than there has been between this blog post and the introduction of windows fucking XP !

> systemd is in the process of becoming a comprehensive, integrated and modular platform providing everything needed to bootstrap and maintain an operating system's userspace. It includes C rewrites of all basic early boot init scripts that are shipped with the various distributions.

> systemd is also a big opportunity for Linux standardization. Since it standardizes many interfaces of the system that previously have been differing on every distribution, on every implementation, adopting it helps to work against the balkanization of the Linux interfaces. Choosing systemd means redefining more closely what the Linux platform is about. This improves the lifes of programmers, users and administrators alike.

being more than an init system has been the goal of the project since pretty much the beginning

Actually they couldn't:

> If you’re not recognized as an expert by another team of experts, it’s difficult to reach an audience. This is true even if you really are an expert.

This can be simplified to, "It's difficult to reach an audience." The meaning is exactly the same.

> Leonardo da Vinci

Was an expert in his fields at the time. He spent many many hours studying anatomy and nature.

> Galileo

Also an expert.

> Einstein

Probably the most over-used and incorrect example used by people who want to trot out the "lone under-appreciated genius" trope. The whole "patent clerk revolutionizes physics" notion is peculiarly attractive to western culture. Unfortunately, the actual truth is, "brilliant man who attended university, diligently studied the hardest mathematics of the day, and took a job while he spent years working on just a couple of problems in one field."

> More often, academics seem to be rewarded for incremental breakthroughs, not out-of-paradigm thinking.

Subject hobbyists consistently underestimate the value of incremental improvement in science. Most of scientific and technological progress comes in the way of incremental improvements. "Great leaps" usually only happen after a sufficient number of incremental improvements have made them possible.

> But ridicule has a higher volume today

You're not likely to be thrown in prison for believing something contrary to the religious faith of the day, like Galileo was. Who cares what happens on social media?

> It’s a tough choice: Even if you’re right, you may be ridiculed and discredited

That's why you have to do the work to prove you're right, instead of just claiming you are and then being unhappy when other people challenge your notions.

There is a real danger in counting yourself among the persecuted and reading only casually about historical heroes of scientific and technological progress. You can end up with a very distorted view of how progress works.
Harder problems than the Linux kernel?

I've been remote for eight years now and I work on a codebase so huge that no one person understands it all beneath the 10,000 foot level. Nearly all of us are remote (only the managers are "local" to San Jose). Once a quarter we get together and meet up, coming from Vancouver, Toronto, Bangalore, Colorado and northern California.
As another veteran of working remotely, I disagree. Conscious use of collaboration tools offsets not being in the same office together nicely. Real time communication via Hangouts or Skype are at a level where you can hold a good conversation without having to be in the same physical location.

Also, most offices (and businesses) are not really built to support proper collaboration and working conditions. As an example, due to a recent job move, I'm stuck in an office 80% of the time right now, and it's pretty miserable. It's an open office plan so there's constant noise and visual distractions, my boss can (and does) come over and interrupt me constantly on issues completely unrelated to my work, and in a former life the office was a welding garage, so I'm pretty cold most days this winter.

I hear of the unicorn offices, where they were built to support collaboration and focused development work, but I've always found reality has more in common with Dilbert than Valve.
I have done about half my career as a 1099 or equivalent. There is no question that those are treated differently.

I don't think federal circuit rulings on non patent matter are binding precedent anywhere? I could be wrong about that. I certainly doubt there binding precedent on just one federal district (and not either all the district courts in the relevant circuit, or all district courts period).

They have some insurance, which was mostly a result of backlash from their original attempts to completely externalize those costs. If you wreck while driving an Uber, and your liability exceeds the amount Uber bought on your behalf, you are responsible for the remainder, and most all personal insurance policies will exclude coverage for this.

Rideshare companies are well aware of the advantages of using independent contractors (it's basically the entire point), and many of the independent contractors themselves are not entirely aware of the consequences of that arrangement.

A more reasonable proposal would be to take the median use in a given tier, then multiple that by a number such as 10, and proclaim anyone higher than that on the curve is abusing that package.
