Please take a look into Google Cloud. It's now feature equivalent with AWS (https://cloud.google.com/docs/google-cloud-platform-for-aws-...). Google Cloud is better than AWS on all fronts other than Relational Databases. Google Cloud has MySQL only. AWS has MySQL, PostreSQL, Oracle, MSSQl. Rest of the services Google beats AWS by a fair and wide margin. I have done a fair amount of benchmarking Google vs AWS in past 3 months and conclusions are shocking. With Google Cloud, you can save about 50% of your bill (I have taken into account of reserved instances), huge increase in companies agility (Speed in taking decisions like capacity planning, instance type, sizing, zones, cluster sizes ... due to simplified infrastructure and pricing & performance wise too, blazing fast disks, live vm migration), far better security (data encryption at rest and on wire by default for all products, ssh key management). I am presenting my findings at our meetup group (http://www.meetup.com/Cloud-Big-Data-and-Data-Science-Group-...) in a couple of months. If any of you want to talk, reach out to me at obulpathi at gmail.
Impossible, entry level for CS and programming is drastically falling down every year, languages that don't require any CS knowledge or thinking become more and more popular. During my undergraduate studies no one told me that something like CPU cache or branch prediction exists, we were just told C#, Java, JS and PHP are used in the industry so learn it and you will have "a job". Some students did their MP in PHP, JS where you could login as red status bar (HTML injection in login). We were not told about vagrant or static code analysis. I had to learn in myself from reddit and contributions to OSS. People who call them self senior JS developers don't know how to solve basic algorithmic problems.
If you look at the speed at which Google Cloud has been adding products for past 6 months, you will be amazed. Google Cloud is now feature complete with AWS and 90% of its products are far better than AWS.
> Rakudo will not be the only compiler (hopefully!)

You're correcting people, but sort of wrong yourself.

Rakudo is written in NQP and Perl 6 AFAIK, but NQP can be implemented for different VMs. A while back it worked on Parrot, MoarVM and JVM. I'd say keep Rakudo, but add more backends such as CLR/.NET, WebAssembly/LLVM.
When Intel says 10nm, does that actually mean 10nm (as in twenty [EDIT: fifty] Si-atoms wide)? Or is it an industrial term of art?
Memserizing! Getting timing right must be hard. It's a one time use computer though :)
Holy shit, this is awful.

Look into Kubernetes. Since everyone is migrating to Docker and Microservices, Kubernetes provides a perfect fit to run your workloads on local premise and then migrate to Cloud when extra capacity is needed. It's opensource and supported by several vendors.
It's not a Rakudo specific VM, it's NQP specific VM, as I understand it. Rakudo is written using NQP and Perl 6. You can implement other languages using NQP same way as Rakudo is done.

> debug tools are not a priority, and you want to be able to hire fast and cheap: PHP.

The only debug tools that we found that were better than XDebug or NuSphere were Studio And C#. Perl, Python and Ruby were all a bit rubbish in comparison.
It's amazing how slow certain apps are, for example, on smartphones and how fine people are with it. Things that worked near-instantaneous on a desktop PC 15 years ago now take 5 seconds to load despite the hardware being way faster.
You're probably joking, but the "we need CPUs that are optimized for our high-level languages"-argument has been raised again and again in all seriousness in the past, without anyone ever showing a convincing way to speed up Javascript, Python, etc. in hardware. Fact is, chasing pointers through small objects or looking up methods in hash tables is very cache-unfriendly, and memory latency is the bottleneck for many computational tasks today.

Instead, we should work on improved languages that provide better compromises between performance and convenience. Rust, for example, is a good step in this direction.

Fortunately, not everything is on the Web yet, and not everything interesting to do with computers is done on-line.

I read this wondering why the CPU prices aren't dropping - my i5 costs as much today as it did exactly 4 years ago, when I bought it - and I'm sad about this, because I could use a faster CPU for Kerbal Space Program, but I'm not going to pay third of a new computer's worth for a marginal improvement in clock speed.
What’s the use case for NFC?
I mean the latter.

And it's generally random web developers who are against HTTPS on everything. Generally the reasons are:

* Cost (this one is going away hopefully)

* Performance (tls is too slow!)

* CPU/Memory overhead on the server

* What they are showing doesn't need to be secured anyway.

I don't really agree with any of those points, but that is what I hear when I bring it up.
0.2 Full-time employees to build all the automation, scale up (and down!) the stack as needed, monitor, operate and maintain it at an HA level? That is a huge feat, and I'd love to read about how you pulled it off. Please consider sharing your story, and perhaps your Salt recipes ;)

With all those things that you have in place, AWS would not be a big win for you, though you still might find some use of AWS services like S3 for reliable object storage, Route53 for DNS, or Lambda for "server-free" event handling. The unique thing about AWS is the huge portfolio of services they have and the absolutely amazing rate at which they manage to pump out new (and useful!) ones.
Analogy, metaphor or just simple evocative imagery are good tools for making subject matter stick, though: https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn/lecture...
Personally never quite got the appeal for EC2. You're basically replicating what you would be doing on physical servers anyway. The real productivity gains come from using a fully managed PaaS (Heroku, Azure Web Apps, Google App Engine, OpenShift etc.) where there is no maintenance and scaling and redundancy is taken care for you. Granted those are even more expensive but they are the only ones that provide any kind of value.

Larry Wall is a linguist. I'm sure there has to be some reasoning behind making the language more complex. Do you know of a text by him explaining why there are two kind of writing the same operators? And why using non ASCII characters?
This sort of thing, minus the propensity for screwing up screen-reader progeams, is what SVG is for. Normally, I wouldn't complain about someone's project like this, but we as an industry really need to start treating the handicapped better.
I don't have a Muji near me, but shop on their online store at least a couple of times a year. Some of their stuff is of average quality and not worth bothering with, but some is excellent.

Some favourites:

Their Hakuji porcelain[1] is beautiful, simple crockery that manages to be unassuming without being plain; the slight blueish cast that it has is just lovely. If I didn't have a perfectly good set of plates already, I'd buy a complete set.

The Acrylic Storage range is a little pricey, but lovely, and better-made than the cheaper, no-brand stuff I occasionally see in shops locally.

They used to sell passport-sized notebooks, but discontinued them some time ago. An email to their (excellent) customer service people when they first disappeared from the UK online store was met with assurances that they would be restocked, but sadly this hasn't happened and they've disappeared from the other online stores. I never followed up with customer service, but I think it's clear that they're now completely discontinued.

Their nail-clippers are made in Japan, excellent, and ludicrously cheap.[2] The Sweet Home rates them as ["the best for trimming both fingernails and toenails".

They make a great exfoliating cloth, just over a metre long, which does wonders for your back and skin in general.

They also stock and sell a range of B5-sized notebooks, which are otherwise nearly impossible to find in the UK. The blandly named "B5 Double Ring Notebook"[4] is my favourite notebook ever, and a steal at £2.95 for 80 blank sheets. The range of B5 notebooks offered on their website has contracted in the last year or so, sadly, which is presumably due to poor sales.

Try Kubernetes may be?
Yes (it is hard). Since those "other" are not that many -- most people just do web, text processing, Excel, mails, gaming etc, for which cpu power is plenty.

Now, even if we take some specialized tasks that need more CPU (but are niche anyway):

- For image processing, we had Photoshop doing wonders since at least 2000. And with SSDs, we can view and edit 30+ MP images today faster than we could 8K images back in 2000 (and on 4K displays nowadays). We can very much cover all things web and print just fine.

- For video processing, a fast latest box can edit several streams of 4K with live filters. That's beyond what $200,000 professional boxes could do in the early nineties.

- For audio processing, a MacBook Pro i7 can run more audio channels and effects than what the consoles used for Thriller or The Wall had in million dollar professional studios.

We also need to understand the concept of diminishing returns. E.g. It's not like having an NLE rendering time down from 2 hours to 1 minute will enable us to make more movies. It will just save some editing studios and amateurs some time. Other processes involved in movie making (like just setting the lights appropriately for a shoot) trump this "optimization" many times over.

So it's not like people "need" faster processors. It's more like they would be "nice to have".

Now, for things like HPC for research etc, could indeed use faster processors -- but that's an even more niche market.

Yes, it actually does mean 10nm wide, though it can often refer to the minimum feature size (as in not every part of the chip is 10nm wide, just some of them).

Since there's more than just silicon to a chip, those features can often be of metallic atoms, which can be smaller than Si, and hence more than 20 atoms wide.

A bunch of people noticed children getting serious internal injuries, requiring surgery, and asked the manfs to stop selling them as a toy for children, and to put bigger warnings on.

For a while the manufacturer ignored those requests, until people decided they'd had enough and moved to ban them. By that time light touch regulation had clearly failed, so people weren't keen on giving the manufacturer much of a second chance.
It's true for professional work. But when parents ask you to do something then do it, and learn to do it properly.
My mistake, it doesn't appear to support that functionality. I'll have to look into it further.

why would you expect for them to pay?
I have a nagging feeling that server side JavaScript will soon become the new PHP. It is getting more and more popular among not-so-good programmers, and given its loose syntax I think it will lead to disastrous code. Not to mention that ECMA is working toward ADDING new feature to the language instead of deprecating some obscure ones, which would make the language easier to use.

Of course, PHP makers made their share of mistakes with their decisions - register_globals, safe_mode (which was not), inconsistent function naming in standard libs, myriad of weird bugs (like syntax error (still) throwing HTTP response 200),...

I am really surprised that something as frequently used as apt had these obvious performance issues. Was there a technical reason for it? I noticed that it ran painfully slow on devices with slower disks. I suppose that is going to change now.

CloudFormation is not very elegant. Things become complicated with the concept region, zonal resources (same AMI is represented by a different id in different region etc). Try Google Clouds's Deployment Manager. Functionally similar, but Google Cloud Deployment Manager is far easier (everything is a global resource), Jinja based templates (you get to write for's and if's, evaluate lists, dictionaries inside templates .. )
The most important new code is massively parallel. Using GPUs today but surely new architectures soon. The human brain is highly parallel, so no surprise there.

Look how tiny the source code to Deepmind's general Atari player. It's a completely different model from traditional development:

Well, I think in comparison to Polymer, Angular and Ember it has a really tiny API and easy to grasp concepts. Yes Polymer uses components too, but I found it a bit clunky in the past (used it ~2 years ago).

But yes, stuff like Flux isn't really easy. I use Redux and it took me much more time to grasp than Ember-Data or something.
I didn't know about that, thanks.

Then I looked for the sanctioned meaning of "ought to" and found https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc6919.txt

"The phrase "OUGHT TO" conveys an optimistic assertion of an implementation behavior that is clearly morally right, and thus does not require substantiation."

But it's dated 1st April 2013 so that's a dead end :-)

Still I think that "ought to" in RFC 7231 is close to what 6919 "prescribed" or they would have used MUST or SHALL. Furthermore there is the matter of history and URL autocompletion. I don't know if it should be OK to rewrite history. I'm fine with handling all of that manually.
Indeed. Mostly, it's just a question of whether or not the software will support a key of such size. Typically, I would recommend that, unless you've a good reason to use a smaller key (like support concerns), one should use the biggest key one possibly can use at the time the key is generated. Though, if one is doing key rotation as one should be, one can always adjust up as needed as time goes on.
I agree with you, but this is a really bad advice for most people reading this. Billing by value - as a consultant/freelancer - will get you in endless discussions about what value actually is and you will have problems estimating the project.
Yes. A big part of the better ones. (Google, IBM, Microsoft, startups, universities)

This is so annoying.

There is no shortage of things for people to do - especially if you are young.

On one hand the government cannot figure out how to pay for rising education cost, healthcare cost, doing simple fixing of roads, etc.

On the other hand young people who are more than qualified for all sorts of work are unable to find work - or make ends meet.

Something is terribly gone wrong.

But wouldn't quantum computing qualify? Seems short sited to just focus on Intel
“Satanism advocates practicing a modified form of the Golden Rule. Our interpretation of this rule is: "Do unto others as they do unto you"; because if you "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," and they, in turn, treat you badly, it goes against human nature to continue to treat them with consideration. You should do unto others as you would have them do unto you, but if your courtesy is not returned, they should be treated with the wrath they deserve.”

it compiles, but how does it run ?
The battery capacity is increasing by only 7.6% (from 17.1 KWh to 18.4 KWh) but they are claiming an increase electric only mode range of 51% (35 miles to 53 mlles.) I wonder where all the extra range is coming from.

My Leaf gets a claimed 80-90 mile range on its 24 KWh battery, so proportionally the 53 miles on 18.4 would make sense, but remember the Volt is carrying around an ICE and all its trappings (it foregoes the drivetrain for the ICE, but it still needs lubrication, cooling, intake, exhaust, etc.) so the volt weighs about 300 lbs more than the Leaf (which is ~10%), and that's going to have an efficiency cost.

Also, I should point out the leaf has had a 25% battery capacity increase in the new model, which should result in a direct 25% range increase since the new battery takes up the exact same space and weight as the old one.
As a Debian user, i find that updating can be slow, but it looks like spending much of its time on network traffic. Also 30 or 40 seconds is not large enough to be _really_ annoying.

I'm confused. Would the same book with the last page removed be recommendable?
Torrentfreak should stick to direct arguments for why piracy should be allowed, and stop with the analogies. I've seen a bunch of analogies from them, and they all break down given the slightest thought. They may be good for getting shares and views. They aren't good for convincing thinking individuals.

(I'm thinking of the recent article https://torrentfreak.com/when-authors-demand-payment-for-eve..., which doesn't consider the obvious point that authors make it a condition of sale to not copy it. Almost every direct editorial I've seen from them has similar gaping flaws. This one, for example, completely misses the problem with copies, which is distribution to people who haven't paid.)
Damn, WPEngine's been under a lot of attack lately.

How do Russians see that issue? (Is it Russian?)
Given that Moore's law is about transistor densities, no I don't think quantum computers would qualify. It also seems premature to talk about about a Moore's law equivalent for the cost/density of quantum gates given we can barely build more than a handful at a time (D-Wave 'quantum' computers aren't quantum gate computers and don't scale in the same way).
The Venezuelan education system produces many advanced degrees, but it's students rank terribly on international competitions.

Those law degrees aren't worth what you think.
As much as I agree with your point about being hard, I'd also like to add out that there isn't anything even remotely similar to documentation on how a pure dev person could do this outside of AWS, with the lack of managed cognito, API gateway + lambda, and dynamodb.

Making those notions and technologies easy and cheap to access AWS suddenly gave devs the idea that they can roll out complex infrastructure on their own, similar to copy-pasting a piece of code. Well, it is still a bit harder than that, and if you are that kind of dev (which I'd applaud), you'd better dedicate some time to learning those technologies.

In terms of living, it is great if you want to settle down and create a family. The only long term issue is that it is hard to learn the local language and get really integrated. This is because it is a dialect of German. First, you have to learn German, even though people on the streets speak Swiss German which is quite different. Once you learn German, you have to learn Swiss German.

They're not making an analogy in this article. They're reporting on someone's satirical art piece, which is itself a commentary on the argument that copyright users have used in the courts (that one copy = one lost sale). Which is exactly in line with TorrentFreak's stated objective, reporting on all things related to file sharing.
This has never really been about whether or not it's okay to copy and use free what someone else created. This is why even companies like Napster eventually reached out to artists.

It's about the latter, that the artists didn't "allow to copy". Guess what? They can't stop people from copying digital material, ever, regardless of how much moralizing the industry backers do. This is happening/has happened, so they need to get on board.
Really? I always see a debugger > REPL. In what ways do you see a REPL as being more powerful?
