> Is that a single-system image

No. Which workloads do you have that need more than 40 cores per image, are happy with a maximum of a hundred on, and won't run on clusters? (I hope it's not one that's going to be crippled by zVM's slow scan of large memory areas suspending guest execution).

> I/O offloaded

If you've actually worked with zLinux (I have) you'll know there's little effective offload, and that zVM overhead increases as the virtual IO ramps up.

> and five 9's

Is zVM offering sysplex? No. So you're relying on your single LPAR to be five nines? Never upgrading zVM? Never updating PR/SM?

Is the datacentre five 9s? The power? The network? Really?
Ask HN: What language features would prevent bugs?
Bugs are a problem. They can lead to outages but even bugs you find lead to rework and cost money. I've wondered what language features would prevent bugs. One example is Adas naming of closing blocks like 'end loop' and 'end if'. What are your examples and ideas?
This one illustrates it even better: https://xkcd.com/1132/

> Having children, for example, is associated with the meaningful life and requires self-sacrifice, but it has been famously associated with low happiness among parents, including the ones in this study.

I have to either strongly disagree with the outcome of this research or disagree with the definition of happiness used here.
If you were to ask parents (myself included), if having children makes you happier in life, I think you would get a resounding yes it does! Having kids is stressful at times, and you can be constantly tired and stretched to your limits but the heights of joy one experiences as a parent has no bounds.
I'd hate to think that the majority of parents think of child rearing as some sort of meaningful suffering...

This seems nice enough, and is certainly performant, but it strikes me that the majority of the things you'd often want to do with a data table like this (filtering and sorting, selecting rows, to name a few) would all be quite a pain to handle with this implementation.

I've used Facebook's FixedDataTable too, which is also performant and relatively minimal, and it was also moderately painful to achieve even quite simple things.
This is the correct answer.

When I can't sleep, I do something which I call the '1 2 3 4 5'-exercise.

While still in bed, lay on your back and think of something you can 'see' (imagine it), anything as long as it's something that physically exists. For example: your car, a guitar, a chair. Imagine it and try to describe it to yourself in the best possible detail. 'My guitar is surf green, it's a Fender Carbonita, it has 22 frets, it has a maple neck, ...' Do this for five things.

Then move on to "things you can feel". Physically feel. For example, describe how your couch feels, how your blanket feels. Again, every little detail. Five times.

Then think of five things you can hear: not at that exact moment in your bed, but things you might have heard throughout the day. Something I think of often is the sound of a train arriving or leaving. Again, try to describe it to yourself in the best possible detail. Do this, again, five times.

Then start over at describing something you can 'see'. Do it four times, move on to feeling, 4 times, move on to hearing, 4 times. Then all over again, except this time 3 times. Then 2, then 1.

I have never made it past the first 5 descriptions of 'see'. I usually fall asleep after describing two objects to myself.

It might help you fall asleep.. Might not. Worth a try, perhaps?
Its true that good benchmark is extremely hard to get right specially for complex tools like these or databases. But I honestly think thats the secondary reason, the primary being stopping someone from truly evaluating their products. Essentially you will then have to rely on sales reps and some hearsay from other users and you are less likely to have someone who have actually worked with multiple comparable products in similar use cases.
I've been relying on japanese-japanese dictionaries for a while, and they work best IMHO once you're past a certain level. Also, most good non-jp-jp resources are in english, and, after all, english is not my native language either, so I might as well deal with everything in japanese. I just wish I could find an app that does everything in japanese, but I never found one. Tried a few, but there are so many that it's hard to find something decent. The result is that I haven't actually actively studied japanese for a while, and rely on "passive" learning from talking, reading and watching TV (I live in Japan, that helps).
I'm actually sufficiently annoyed that I'm not retaining as much as I would like that I'm considering writing a web app to handle my own learning.

Edit: by the way, I once stumbled upon an online dictionary that also showed the "standard" intonation for words (something that I've very rarely seen mentioned), but I can't find it again :(

I can't sleep when my mind is racing with ideas or replaying the day.

First, I'll write down all my ideas, thoughts, etc. Even if just a few words, I think that action helps me brain turn off.

If I'm still awake, the big guns, I'll read a fiction book in another language. A few minutes of that and I'm exhausted. The kindle is great for that, because it's got an easy dictionary for looking up unknown words. Just make sure you're wearing orange tinted glasses or you're on a non-lit screen, otherwise the blue in the phone screen will wake you up further.

Funny that this comment and the sibling one seem to be contradictive, "who expects this to work" vs "if it doesn't work get with the times".

I bet there is a ton of originally x86-targeted software and libraries that never paid much attention to alignment. It's pretty scary to consider what could happen with stuff like that is ported over to ARM if garbage data is returned for unaligned access - what if stuff (structs etc) is misaligned only sometimes (depending on allocator, array lengths, etc). Could it be the "next heartbleed"? :P
I understood the first, third, and fifth sentence on the first listen, except that just like jcranmer I misheard "sunny." Listened to the two remaining sentences several times, and finally decided that the second one had to be "the animal jumped in the cage of the zoo", which wasn't too far off and funnily enough persisted even after I had heard the real sample. I misunderstood the fourth completely: "<unintelligible> stayed until lunch time", but heard it clearly after listening to the correct version.

English is my second language though, I wonder if that makes any difference? For example I'd guess that compared to a native speaker, I'd have to pay more attention to the stream of sounds to determine where each word ends and the next begins. Perhaps just by expecting to hear an English sentence I automatically increased my level of attention?

I'm going to ask someone to create a few sentences in my native language to see if there's any difference, although the fact that I've now been exposed to the concept of sine-wave speech has probably in itself altered my perception of future examples.

I think it's mostly accurate in L2 norm and not point by point. So every function in L2 can be approximated arbitrarily in L2 norm.
While it's true that he's doing amazing stuff, it's also true that when other people oversell and underdeliver vaporware, they're not given as much slack. Where do you draw the line as to when to give a break and when not?

But there are zombies on each side of you, and your "buddy" is just some chatroulette guy who can't help you.
Strong type system with a good support of checked exceptions would tell you what kind of exceptions can arise from every function call. If you don't check them in your function code, they would add to the list of exceptions that your function can throw. It would basically turn every function you write with return type T into Either<T, ExceptionA, ExceptionC, ExceptionH> with syntax sugar that would transfer exceptions between calls so you don't have to spend your time with constant transfering of error properties of your return objects.

This would allow you to check stuff on places you desire (sometimes right after function, sometimes in the UI thread) and have tooling support for managing what is left unchecked.

Let's build something like that for C# using Roslyn! Issues of Java-style checked exceptions can be overcome using proper typing with generics.
If you google something like "latex rivers" or "latex microtype river" then you will see that there have been discussions, and some attempts.

Wow, that brings back memories. I came 79th once in one of those! I've just gone and found it and I was 14 at the time.

I'm digging back through old forum posts to see if anything I've made is still about but so many image hosting sites have disappeared.

C# 6.0: An Introduction
http://www.dwavesys.com/press-releases/d-wave-systems-breaks...

This announcement, claims:

Every additional qubit doubles the search space of the processor. At 1000 qubits, the new processor considers 2^1000 possibilities simultaneously, a search space which dwarfs the 2^512 possibilities available to the 512-qubit D-Wave Two.

Since we still aren't able to factor any large numbers with it, those 2^1000 bits don't really work like they say they do. I'm guessing there are many caveats behind their description.

I would appreciate any explanation from an expert.

From what I've read on Reddit (so take it with a grain of salt), a lot of companies have recently been switching from having their goods manufactured in China to in the U.S. Due to falling oil prices it doesn't work out much more expensive, and the benefits from not having to wait 6+ weeks for a shipment that may or may not be correct out weight the price difference.

All this is being driven by Mike Pall who created LuaJIT.

If you really think that I, personally, am "actively taking steps to destroy the FOSS principles of the LuaJIT project" then get involved on the Lua mailing list and ensure that whatever principles you want are maintained.

The biggest disconnect I have with you is that you are asserting that I am messing up the FOSS nature of LuaJIT but I don't see how moving it to Github (with Mike's help), getting people involved as widely as possible etc. is doing that. What, specifically, are you concerned about in what I/CloudFlare are doing?
