> I think I would be considerably less distracted by frame interpolation if it didn't tend to fail completely on fast motion.

I just got a new (to me) TV and realized it was interpolating. I'm not too bothered by the soap-opera effect in general. But the first football‡ game I watched on it made me turn it off in a hurry. The ball seemed to disappear when it was passed. The motion smoothing algorithm somehow ghosted it right out of the picture, so that it appeared to leave the QB's hands and magically teleport to the receiver.

My OpenBSD laptop writes 1GB of data in a few seconds to disk (RAID 0 with 2 SSDs).

It would probably make more sense, and be more likely to get 15 people to donate $10 a year (as a one-time donation, with a new 15 people donating $10 the next).

I'm also rather pessimistic about "making money" like this.

You'd have to sell a service for that to make any kind of sense. Target a minimum of, say, 10$ user/year, or user/month (yes, those are two wildly different prices, and two somewhat different level of "perceived value" you'd need to provide).

Micropayments only make sense at massive scale - and you won't have that starting out. If you cant build up to 10.000 users paying 10/year, you could probably sustain a developer. Just make sure that doesn't generate work for 30 support staff. But "breaking even" (we won't have to stop because we're burning money on hosting) is different from "making money".

It's probably a good idea to one, or the other. Not something in the middle.

Major caveat: I've only thought about pricing models, never found the opportunity to try them out in practice.

That 600Hz number is basically meaningless. There is no 600Hz motion interpolation being done; it's just an evil marketing trick.

When I was a kid I went to a country school and lessons didn't start until 9:30, to accommodate dark mornings. If it's better for children, only children need necessarily adjust, provided school is also serving its industrial daycare function.

These stunts did nothing for inclusivity. They caused controversy and split people apart.

This isn't the hacker way.

Even females I know making tech weren't comfortable with this. Some found it patronizing, others dismissed it as sophistic.

They all are worried that men in tech will consider females to be hypersensitive troublemakers.

Frankly, these days I have more bias against women than I ever had before these stunts. If I hire a female, is she going to stir up a fuss over whatever's the latest blame politic trending on Twitter? That would put women at a disadvantage.

I admire the idea of helping the weak. I disagree that this was the way to go about it. I reiterate that shaming and nitpicking can feel quite bullying - even to men.
Hopefully the kernel driver rewrite pays off, and not just in time saved supporting separate Catalyst and free kernel modules. AMD on Linux is infamously slow, and while their Windows driver situation has never been particularly good, they get crushed by Nvidia.

Thats also bad, because they are also the most freedom hostile major hardware manufacturer on the market. Some other contenders like Broadcom, Intel, and Qualcomm all participate some engineer time somewhere in the open stack, albeit not across all their products, but literally nothing Nvidia makes is open at all, and they even go the extra mile nowadays to use signed drivers to stop Nouveau development.

Anyone who cares about eventually seeing a world where GPU programming is as open as CPU is (was) also cares to see AMD succeed on Linux, being the only major discrete GPU developer out there besides Nvidia, and whose legacy IP has gone into the largest mobile GPUs on Android as well (Adreno). They might have proprietary power management firmware on their cards, but at least they publish the ISA. Can you imagine a CPU without an open instruction set?

Since its hackernews I think its fair to comment that I hate it because it makes the already difficult time programming even more difficult. Now I don't just have to save timezone somewhere but also the offset (to be full proof) of the time. How about the UI?

I don't have to suffer through this change but it seems like something that will affect people's rhythm a lot and make them mess up things twice a year. What would be the health and other cost of that would be?

Hmm just thought about it and looked it up. It seems that people use ~10% their energy budget in lighting. So I don't see even in terms of energy usage that being worth it? Specially since using better lights would have a much more savings.

I wanted to point out, though somebody changed the title, this is the first paper written on using Monads in programming. It's by Eugenio Moggi.

It would give more people the possibility to run a service like this and everyone would profit from further developments.

But that's up to you, and i'm absolutely fine with people making money from webservices! :)

I grew up a few miles from here, close enough that my parents were worried about the contamination. Thankfully the well supplying our neighborhood wasn't contaminated.

For years, I'd always wondered what the giant concrete sarcophagus was whenever we'd drive out to the freeway, but it never occurred to me to look it up. Only when visiting the Bay Area in the early 2000s and finding it demolished and replaced with a freaking strip mall did I look things up and realize both what a horrible thing it was (birth defects and all) and how lucky we got that this site was clean enough to build on again.
Tangentially related, there are also studies showing that schools that force kids to get up at 6:30 also produce lower performing students because kids stay up late everywhere and then never get enough sleep.

If you want to keep the public school work week, it would make significantly more sense being 9-5 or even 10-6 Monday to Thursday rather than 8-3 Monday to Friday.

Why is the rate change important? For two main reasons:
1) it signals the intention of the FED to actively use its tools to manage the growth of the economy as opposed to uncritically encouraging it;
2) even a token charge decreases the demand for what was once free and breaks a crucial psychological barrier for further increases in the future (see point 1; also, the freemium model in apps for an analogy).

So any change upwards really matter after nearly a decade of decreases and the zero-bound rates.

Basis points communicate the absolute change rather than the relative change to remove ambiguity. For example, consider a 1% interest rate: if it goes up by 100 BPS, the new rate is 2%; if by 1%, the new rate is 1.01%.
"How do you handle massive traffic spikes?"

Well, how would you handle massive traffic spikes? Through a combination of vertical and horizontal scaling? Through having excess capacity? Except that I would probably want to start with something fast and inexpensive to begin with.

If you wait until the spike hits before you spin up your VM you're still too late.

I don't follow your line of reasoning, you seem to suggest that to build a scalable service you yourself would prefer to use servers with necessarily poor price/performance?

Or are you saying that it's not possible to use dedicated machines to build a scalable service? Or that one should only use VMs, with their inefficiency and resource contention? How do you reason about disk seek performance? What happens when the spike hits, and another AWS customer on the box starts stealing CPU?

Actually, traffic spikes were the reason we moved off AWS. A single dedicated machine at Hetzner gives 10x the headroom at a fraction of the cost. That buys you time and capacity when you need it.

Yes. The Red Hat support contract indicates that sharing RHEL binaries with someone else will result in Red Hat terminating support for you (something that I find incredibly offensive and objectionable), but if you give the binaries to someone else then they can give them to anybody else they want to.
> Systemd replaces a lot more of the system than other init systems - for example, it has it's own journal format, and also has it's own time tools.

From my own experience, migrating machines from sysvinit to systemd is trivial. Systemd does not need all those optional bits and is happy to work with syslog, ntpd, cron, etc. pp., can pass through sysvinit init files, and so on. If you actually use it instead of relying on fudy reports, it's a breeze to work with.

Recompiling half my desktop, and then recompiling all userspace programs using any of the involved libraries, is much more invasive compared to that.

Another approach is looking at what you have to do when building a system from scratch: Here, systemd's "modification needs" are obviously close to zero (because the system is built around it, you can use journald/timesyncd/etc. from start, or set up rsyslog/ntpd interoperability for systemd). Userland software might, at most, need unit files to use them. Desktop environments et. al. work without dedicated logind support or anything. Unity, however, still requires me to scrape together patches out of Canonical forks of various programs and libraries to get it to work. It's still massively invasive and requires far, far too much effort.
May be I got it the wrong. Are the time spent on the bid processing portion (CPU bounded) or the network messaging and connection handling portion (IO bounded)? When talking about eventlib and nginx, I assume the network messaging and connection handling are relevant. In that case 168K requests/sec doesn't sound too great.

This benchmark shows Ngix+Lua (openresty) is more than 5 times slower than the leading ones, which can do more than 6M requests/sec.

That's not so surprising, the base rate is negative since more than a year.
Because of fear in EUR, many people instead of buying Gold, people bought CHF. One of my friends said: its a beautiful country and has a lot of assets, so there is not much of a difference. The SNB [1] fixed the EUR/CHF to 1.20 for quite long time until it was dropped suddenly at 15.1.2015. From one day to another all goods in the EU cost ~20% less for the Swiss people. As I live near the Austrian/Swiss boarder, there were many Swiss people coming over to Austria that time, buying as much stuff they could get and importing to Swiss. Main problem for the Swiss economy is that suddenly goods from Swiss companies are ~20% more expensive than competitors outside of Swiss. Or employees in Swiss are suddenly 20% more expensive if your main currency is EUR or USD. That's bad for the economy.

On the 15.1.2015 they also changed the policy from fixed EUR/CHF exchange rate to negative interest rates to reduce the influx of money. Currently the rate at which the SNB borrows to the banks is -0.81% [2]. A friend of mine pays a premium of 0.75% on the base rate for his loan on the house, so the currently borrows from the bank at -0.06%.

So what else could you do with your CHF? Buy Swiss Confederation bonds, the current yield is also negative, -0.28% [2]. Or buy EUR, more risky but more interest? Put under your pillow, too risky? Exchange to gold, pay for insurance or to keep it safe? Bonds of a country nearby? Only 0.46% for 10 years in Germany [3] and in EUR.

I think you're using the term "leaky abstraction" much more literally than most other people do. If we take your interpretation to the logical (albeit extreme) conclusion, then even "read the value of variable X" is asynchronous and should really be modeled asynchronously.

> for heavy IO related code, and for this I am more happy with working in an asynchronous single-threaded environment.

You're not describing the majority of applications. The vast majority of applications do negligable amounts of complex network I/O (ignoring GUI, which is handled for them by... an abstraction).

It would be a bad idea to base our abstractions on things only needed for a tiny minority of applications.
