Polls are largely unreliable and easily manufactured.

First most are done by phone, which limits the pool ( you get mostly old people with land lines) second the wording can dramatically change the results. Essentially polls are just another state manufactured tool of propaganda.
First point. I give you an example. Say company X is known for product Y and they have competitor Z with product W.

Lets imagine that there are group of customers of Z who buy product W only because they oppose to the company X.

When now company X creates a product A and tries to make impression that product A is from company B and not from company X, then they are making false claims to reduce the market share of company Z by making group of customers of Z to believe that product A is not from company X and is a fair alternative to the product W.

Second point. I am just supporting more actual competition on the market.
I think the origin really does matter to some people. For example, why have farmers markets made such a strong return in the U.S.? Savvy consumers want to support local business and buy products that they know were made ethically and without nasty chemicals, additives, GMOs, etc.
> From the parents perspective looking backwards through time they "see" how something today will have huge repurcussions later. Nobody can stand by and watch their child turn down a dark alley filled with hazards.

> As kids get older their ability to completely screw up their life goes up exponentially.

If one reconciles those two points one can see that a lot of what parents obsess about is without any real consequences. An example of utterly irrelevant worry is breaking an arm as a kid - it will hurt for a while, but you'll be fine. Nothing one can't recover from. As you note, it's important to let a kid fail and learn from that failure.
"beyond maintaining credibility with their advertisers"

It makes perfect economic economic sense. Craft beer is growing[1], and beer companies want to keep that piece of the pie. They're producing their own craft beer, buying smaller brewers, and disparaging the competition.

My conception is that in the US big cars like SUVs are much more common than in Europe and these cars have a much higher consumption of gas. That's kind of Europes point of view. Is that correct?
Perl 6 has gradual typing that is used for optimizations at run-time. So, it's possible to use optional types for optimization (even if this particular implementation doesn't do it yet). And, it sounds like that's actually the purpose of this project from the description. It doesn't even seem like it's trying to add types as a method of avoiding errors.

And, the benefits of typed languages aren't necessarily all or nothing, and they aren't all performance-related. There are many kinds of error that can be revealed by adding type checks to a program, and just like adding more unit tests to an existing program can reveal existing bugs, adding type information could do the same (with arguably less tedium than writing basic unit tests just to confirm something is behaving correctly with a variety of input).

If I can choose to add types to my function rather than writing unit tests that test a bunch of different data inputs, I would definitely prefer to add types. (Now, in the case of some type systems, like Perl 6, you can go crazy with bounds and other things within the type system itself...so you can not only say a function receives an Int, it can also say it receives an Int in the range of -1...43, and nothing else is acceptable). Types are certainly more fun than fuzz testing everything.

None of those benefits require a program to be all-in on having typed data.

In the past, some of my colleagues have used Intel's 82599 NICs for kernel bypass. Their Linux driver is quite good, they have a DPDK platform for developing user-space apps to directly access ring buffers on the NIC, and if you do a quick search, you should be able to find examples online.

Cloudflare wrote a blog post recently about accelerated packet IO and their post mentions the 82599 NIC: https://blog.cloudflare.com/kernel-bypass/.
This may be a "marketing" issue. I know a little html and css, but I am not a serious programmer. I looked at your thing and I have no clue what it does.

It might help to have a better explanation of what it does and maybe move your examples link higher up the page. This is your current blurb at the top of the page:

webhook is a lightweight configurable tool written in Go, that allows you to easily create HTTP endpoints (hooks) on your server, which you can use to execute configured commands

That means nothing to me. It should tell me how it enhances functionality of my site. "Execute configured comands" just means "and then it does the thing you told it tobdo." Yeah it better do that much. But what kinds of things can I tell it to do?

So, for examples I know:

Hyperlinks are code snippets that tell the browser to go to a particular page.

CSS is code that makes your page more lightweight by reducing how often you have to repeat instructions. You can have a master file that applies to all items in a particular class that only needs to be called once. This makes pages load faster and reduces coding bloat. It is also easier to maintain the site since you can change code across the entire site by editing one file instead of every individual page.

What the hell do hooks do? I don't know that and I have no reason to research it in order to determine if your tool has any relevance to my life. So I am just going to close the browser tab and move on. I have a busy life and you have not given me any reason to care about this tool.

That isn't intended to be mean. I got told for years my sites were too niche and no one cared. I have wrestled with this issue personally and I am sympathetic.

Best of luck.
I honestly can't thank you enough for pointing this out to me. I love JetBrains products, and I had no idea this existed!!

* It's like the equivalent of mandatory GMO labeling, but with GMO replaced by being made by a big company.*

Exactly. You get the point. This should be used to reduce the impression of false diversity.

Edit:

Lets expand this example even further. Lets say that there is company X with one baby formula and company Y with another baby formula. Company X has created 9 different brands to sell its baby formula but company Y has only one.

For a customer of baby formulas it would create an impression that there is wide diversity of baby formulas when in fact there are only two.
Just went through the whole application & admissions process with my older daughter. It was horrible. It's a mess. It's sinister in the way it affected our family.

Pursuing a high school diploma should start with an exploration of:

- "What am I good at, really?"

- "What do I love, really?"

- "What matters to me, really?"

But what we saw all through high school was simply:

- "What can I do today that will improve my chances of getting into Harvard?"

Humans are prone to wanting the wrong things, and especially so when misperceptions lead us to believe they are the right things. I don't know how to ultimately fix the college-chasing-helicopter-parenting-test-prepping-personality-skewing of today's admissions process, but I've started by reinforcing to my younger daughter that what matters is her, not the the university she goes to.

>There have been plenty of severe economic climates before, and we haven't seen the same issues from those.

And there was a lot more poverty then than we have now. There also wasn't the widespread expectation of having a "good life," and probably a much smaller pre-existing middle class all attempting to hang onto their position. Furthermore, the whole notion of "middle class" and all the expectations that come with it probably weren't as firmly rooted as they are now, so people just... expected less.

>Climate change wasn't the issue back in the 80s - instead it was things like Mutually Assured Destruction. There's always something. We need to stop making excuses like "it's current affairs issue X".

Just saying "there are bad things now and there were bad things then" does not mean that circumstances are always equally good or bad. The economic/social/political climate CAN be better or worse at different times. Life was certainly very hard for the generations living through the great depression or WW2, and the burdens those people carried should not be diminished by people living in more fortuitous times.
This sounds like it could very easily be abused as a way to peddle supplements while skimping on the experimentation aspect. It's a good idea though. Do you have plans to include something other than supplements? For instance, common foods (to be consumed daily for long periods of time) or simple activities/exercises? You could still derive revenue by selling the equipment/ingredients through your platform but it would allow you to vary the product while maintaining the consumer base. Also, doing it with something other than supplements could be cheaper and more newsworthy if you do discover something. Very interesting!
Woah! Massive logical jump there!

On the other hand, it is well documented that big beers actively suppress the sales of upstarts by requiring package-deal shelving. It goes like:

Hey, store operator. It's clear that staple beers like Coors and Bud Lite are 50+% of your beer sales and a significant portion of your whole store's margin. So, we declaring that we won't ship you any Bud Lite unless you also stock 3 of our new, wacky, nobody-thinks-its-gonna-sell variants like "Bud Lite n Salsa". The only purpose of even making BLnS is to make it harder for you to have shelf space left over for upstart smaller brews. Have a nice day.

> I'm not an American.

Well, then it's little wonder that the prospect of him sharing classified information with the Chinese or Russians doesn't bother you all that much. However, I never would have guessed you to be non-American from your posts in this thread, particularly the one quoted below where you forcefully instruct us as to how and if (at all) we should punish those who violate our laws, and where the last sentence begins with the pronoun "we," which I foolishly took to refer to the citizens of the United States but apparently instead referred to some larger collective (perhaps the citizens of the world?):

>That's exactly how it works. The law does not exist in isolation as an axiomatic rule. The intent and circumstances of an action are all taken into account. Legalism is tyranny, plain and simple.

>Also, you are allowed to say "Yeah, he broke the law, but we don't give a fuck." It's called jury nullification.

>As soon as you excuse the law because it doesn't "feel" right, you walk a shaky path to anarchy.

>The United States hasn't been walking to the path of anarchy, but quite the opposite. We actually need more anarchy.

Oh, I'd imagine so. Good enough for illustrative purposes and for catching any gross errors in my arithmetic when analysing the games. Not good enough for anything 'real'.
No because the speed of the components with the current designs is still limited by the switching speed of the masking matrix.
And in any case you will still need to transform photons back to electrons twice.
The speed of electrons or EM wave propagation vs photons isn't a player in why photonic computing might be better.
The ability to encode more data into the photons, a much more power efficient and inherently parallel design are.

Also because light has much more shorter wavelength than "electricity" electromagnetic waves in conductors (kilometers vs nano-meters) you can have a much higher throughput with light even if you use it to replace the carrier wires in electronics (which is what Intel is working on they want to keep electronic switching but make all carriers photonic).

Clearly not, which is exactly why kernel bypass is such a huge red flag: it's only possible (rather, useful) if you aren't doing anything sensible with the data anyway, or the kernel overhead would be tiny compared to the processing.

Use the right tool for the job and don't funnel network data through your instruction pipeline. When they realized that for memory, they called it "DMA", and when graphics was scaling up, we created the GPU.

6 Quick Life Hacks to Improve Your Day
Does anyone seriously consider Blue Moon to be craft beer? Past silly is right.
I know at least one recent graduate of Stanford University who is an exception to this generalization. He is a childhood friend of my oldest son's, and graduated with Stanford class of 2013. If the general observation at Stanford is that Stanford students are highly dependent on their parents and unable to take care of themselves (as it may be, for all I know), then all I can say is that Stanford has an unusual intake of admitted students. For information on "a generation of children," I'd ask college officials at community colleges and military officers who deal with new recruits, as well as big employers of first-time employees. (What employer employs a lot of first-time members of the labor force these days? McDonald's? Some other kind of employer?).

This article sparked a lot of discussion among my friends on Facebook, where I shared it after reading the article from the submission here. A friend there commented, "I am so tired of colleges and universities whining about the students they chose to admit. Maybe they need to take a look at their admissions policies." Yes, I think college admission officers, especially at the most selective colleges, have to grow up and take their own responsibility for the incentives that their admission requirements set up. I note as a teacher at a private school that students today can certainly have issues of overdependence on others as they face life challenges. That has probably existed in all previous generations of students. The way to change the incentives, of course, is for admission officers to figure out reliable signals of life independence as they decide whom to admit. Parents will get that message loud and clear if admission officers figure out the reliable signals. Meanwhile, it is always permitted for parents (although sometimes difficult for parents to achieve) to encourage young people to develop self-reliance and independence as they grow up. That is what I have attempted to do as I homeschooled my four children, two of whom are now quite self-reliant adults, and two of whom are now very responsible adolescents who are well regarded by other adults who know them.
Spotify very much cares - Advertisers ultimately will measure clicks and if listens increase without clicks increasing, the payout from ads will drop.
Thank your for the kind words :) While you're right that we do run a headless browser-ish thing what sets us apart from most of our competitors, other than the point-and-click approach is that we autodetect everything that's going on in the browser - which also means that in most cases you dont need to know what's going on. What this effectively means is that you'll often spend no time reverse-engineering and be able to scrape even wildly complex javascript-heavy sites in minutes instead of hours - and have them be a lot more stable than they would otherwise since there's no "Wait for 5 seconds" which will only be enough 95% of the time.

We see a lot of our clients manage to do what they need done - even daily scrapes - for as little as $29 / month since scraping a news site daily will often take up no more than a few minutes.

Light moves 3*10^8 m/s in a vaccuum, which is 7.5cm per clock cycle of a 4GHz processor. The processor is about 2cm wide, so not much room for improvement I figure.
The US is also much more concerned with air pollution that affects human health. The EU has been much more concerned with gas mileage

Diesel is great for gas mileage, but much, much worse for human health because of particulate pollution. It causes heart attacks, strokes and cancer.

The US is in the right here. Diesel should be phased out, and I look forward to a day when diesel is no longer used.

No teenager has a passion for SAT prep.

I grew up in the generation when no one in my region of the country (the Midwest) had heard of test prep. The students who did best on standardized tests (my friends and I) simply enjoyed reading for fun. Really, it's that simple. Read books and articles that are not assigned by school and that you choose for your own reading pleasure. Students who score high today on standardized tests are still avid readers. Nothing has changed about that at all. This even works for the math section of the tests.

To learn how to score well on a standardized test reading section, the number one piece of advice is READ, READ, READ, and READ. Read about what you like to know more about. Read things that are fun for you. Find books and magazines about interesting topics and read them. Turn off the TV and read. Put away the video game controller and read. Read hard things, and read easy things. Read a lot.

For years, I wondered why it came so readily to mind to write "READ, READ, READ" in all capital letters like that when I give advice on this subject, as I have frequent occasion to do. Recently, I reread the section "Suggestions for Study" in the front matter of John DeFrancis's book Beginning Chinese Reader, Part I, which I first used to learn Chinese back in 1975. In that section of that book, I found this passage, "Fluency in reading can only be achieved by extensive practice on all the interrelated aspects of the reading process. To accomplish this we must READ, READ, READ" (capitalization as in original). Yes, that works for Chinese, and it works for English too. By practicing reading, you gain reading comprehension and reading speed, and speedy reading with good comprehension gives you time to complete standardized test sections with time to spare. That reduces the pressure and lets you relax and think while you take the test. Try it. You may like it, and anyway reading is fun.
no. he says he can only spare one core for network. so he used network cards for a 1 to 1 physical cable. something that should have been done with a dedicated pcie card much easier.

other than that they are just bypassing tcp, arp, ethernet, etc. basically one pc has a kennel that says "every one in this file descriptor turns the voltage up on this cable" and the other pc has a driver that "every voltage up on this cable writes a one on this file" then they add some rudimentary sync logic for the timings. maybe just a known initial handshake that both expect and know... like a modem have shake.

i wonder if there is already a well known project/Linux kernel driver for this dumbed down network-as-fast-interface around or if they are writing it. the article is really lame on any detail
