If anything it sounds like it would be faster because there is less byte code which needs to be compiled.

Most likely the problem is the Facebook app has a lot of bytecode. That's probably why the wrote redex in the first place, so they would have less bytecode in their final APK.
Configuration is perhaps more complicated than binary deployment. With binary deployment, you can end up with, say, only the version in production, and then version that is about to be in production - the "old" and then "new". If you've made it from dev to staging with one binary, and you discover a bug, you go through dev and to staging again, just with a new "new" binary.

Configuration, especially configuration management, often needs a more staged/tagged approach (in fact, you may have moved from having n custom builds to having one build with n configurations). You turn on a feature for some people, for one cluster, for all clusters of one type (say, v6-only clusters), and so forth. The potential combinatorial explosion is huge.

For the feature-flag case, you can use a canary approach, at least.

It's a lot harder to canary a change on one of your two (or four, or whatever) core switches, though.

A pattern I've seen is to move from a single weekly deploy of disparate changes (say, server config management, switch port config, switch ACL config, ...) to multiple smaller deploys (potentially done by fewer people) based on the type.

One "nice" thing about infrastructure is that most problems are fairly immediately apparent. There are also generally a lot fewer integration-style tests you need to consider. You can detect failures and roll back quickly. Unfortunately, you've usually had a huge impact when you fail. And it's also relatively hard to verify your change before you land it.
For your future advantage in these discussions, please know that going critical is a prerequisite for power generation; it is the steady state in which a fission-causing neutron is given off from each fission. A sub-critical reactor requires power input because it is not giving off enough energy to sustain the chain reaction; its population of fission-causing neutrons will exponentially decay, if left alone.

The plutonium in spent nuclear fuel is very difficult to purify to weapons grade. If you're not satisfied with inspections of purifying facilities then taking the waste off the hands of problem countries for free has been discussed. Unfortunately, Uranium isn't that rare or hard for countries to come by. If they really want nuclear weapons then a normal breeding program is the simplest way to do it.

That video you linked to was hilarious. Reprocessing is a great idea. There's no harm in waiting a hundred years for a method of getting rid of your spare plutonium when it means you get to reduce the total amount of radioactive waste anyway.

Also, while we may wail and gnash our teeth at having nowhere to store our nuclear waste the truth is that governments overwhelmingly deal with the very quite simple problem of storage in a competent manner. Certainly more competently managed than our storage of the products of coal power generation in our atmosphere has been.
Here is one of many articles from an ongoing spat between Uber and the Calfornia regulators over how much data they were demanding: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jan/13/uber-fine...
Why do we need thousands of theses things, not just a couple of big ones? There seems to be some concern over the size constraints, but don't really see the advantage of having many of them?
Hmm, it looks like pfSense doesn't support the one requirement I have of any router: per-IP (not _interface_) statistics. Is this really such an unusual thing to want? I want to know how much traffic each device on my network is producing, in each direction. Ideally also: for suspect devices, I'd like to know _who_ they are talking to.
Very difficult to establish the gain, because some of that gain requires estimating the counter-factual profits they would have made in various circumstances.
Thanks for linking that - really terrific back of the envelope estimates.

If anything, I found it to be quite encouraging. If we could just get people behind some of those...
This is the best thing.

I'm sorry, but I don't feel the need to qualify that statement. This is just one of those absolutely crazy projects that people do from time to time (although MIT certainly has a reputation for hosting a lot of them), and I love that sort of thing. As much as we talk up the importance of Bayes' theorem and other algorithms as things that can change the world, etc., sometimes, you can just build something cool, and have a laugh.
Can we just stop talking about uber . There is no such thing as bad publicity. If hn spoke about taxes 1/15th as much as it does About uber maybe the world as a whole would fix public transit , and makes cabs free to ride.

Wish !
All of that stuff is debatable of course but given the massive environmental damage done mining Lithium I doubt there is much in it from the point of view of that one way or the other.

As for fuel storage/reprocessing with modern reactor designs the waste products are much smaller and we do have sensible sane ways to deal with them.

I'd absolutely love it if renewables dominated the percentage for generation but I think the future is more likely to be nuclear for baseload and renewables for the rest barring some huge breakthroughs in battery technology.

Pumped hydro is still the most efficient way of storing huge amounts of potential energy but it's simply not a possibility for most places (and is hardly kind to the environment either since it often requires damaging lakes and rivers).

Nuclear isn't perfect but it looks like the least worst option to me if implemented properly.

Length of track is completely unrelated to the quality of the system. It's something you could be proud of for sure... But it's still completely unrelated to the quality of the network.
The solution? Stop labeling usable fuel as "waste". We only extract a few percent of the usable fission energy in current reactor designs. We've had plans for numerous other designs for years, but anti-nuclear hysteria and high-inertia bureaucracy have been very efficient at preventing new types of reactors from being built.
I would love to use Rust more, and have enjoyed working with it on some toy projects, but the last time I looked there wasn't a super solid general purpose math library. Is there anything out there for Rust that is of similar scope to C++'s Eigen or Python's NumPy+SciPy? What about SSE/AVX intrinsics from Rust?
I agree with you about Goldman, but we don't yet have the law that makes materially harmful commercial misrepresentations made by systemically important financial institutions a felony. We should, but we don't.

There are good reasons for startup employees to be young. Front loading risk when you don't have dependents (a spouse and kids, or parents of advanced age) to worry about is a big one. Also when you're young the pay differential between working at a startup and Google is smaller. If you're experienced enough to make Staff Engineer or something the economics of a startup look a lot worse.

The South is in dire need of at least one giant tech city. I can't be the only person who wants to stay here near family, but the lack of any world-class tech opportunities is extremely frustrating. My girlfriend doesn't understand why I keep wanting to move to the west coast — "Surely you can find a decent job somewhere in the southeast?" Yes, if "a job" is all that I'm looking for, then I can certainly find one. I think she's frustrated with my constant talk about jobs located outside of the South, but I don't really know how to explain the situation to her :/
I found learning Rust to be a lot easier having learned C++11 first. Move semantics, RAII, borrowing (const references), mutable borrowing (references), option-types (pointers), and iterators are all C++ concepts. The big advantage Rust gives you is that the compiler handles a number of things that required manual bookkeeping or coding conventions in C++, and doesn't let you screw them up.
Yes, noise & regularization seem to be key here. I've gotten a 2-layer with 7/8 neurons down to 0.06 and dropping but only with noise & l1: http://playground.tensorflow.org/#activation=relu&regulariza... Final loss of 0.051. Interestingly, increasing noise from 10 to 15 destroys performance, loss of 0.47.

My first thought on seeing the image in the article was "do the black holes form the EURion constellation?"
And XMPP has consistently been behind on innovation. I used IRC and Jabber for a really long time. I don't know how long I was waiting for basic audio and video chat in XMPP, which is now a standard thing in almost all proprietary communication systems. People have been wanting those features for a very long time and they migrated away from the open systems because they were consistently behind on features.

I don't understand why open seems to immediately mean better and proprietary is bad. I'm all for an open system if the benefit is clear, but it often makes no difference and ultimately comes down to how the project/software is managed. There are a lot of "open" software products that are controlled by a few and thus, not very open.
(I Agree.)

As a rule of thumb, you can approximate sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2) = 1 - 1/2 (v/c)^2. So if v/c = 2, then the correction is approximately 1 - 1/2 .2^2 = 98% as you said. This formula is easier for back of the envelope calculations and the important point is that it's quadratic. (I always forget the 1/2 :(. )

The GP comment used the wrong correction of 1 - v/c, that is not quadratic so the correction is much bigger.
There are music performance licenses for venues, such as restaurants and bars. People will come up to you and threaten to sue if you don't pay for a blanket license. And they will do this even if you insist on playing completely original music.

Many of these license fees are done in bulk. The same with countries that automatically collect a tax on USB sticks and optical media. You pay a volume license, but it never filters down to the artists because it's not collected based on which songs are actually stored or played.

This is hardly all of it. There's a huge mass of corruption under the surface. Such as them not actually forwarding over license fees for song collections, or including songs they don't actually have the rights to include.

"Video game developer is considered to be one of the most rewarding jobs in a software industry."

I would not agree with that. Unless you insert 'mistakenly' into that sentence or replace 'rewarding' with 'underpaid and overworked'.
It is! But to bring a felony case that would survive the standard of proof in criminal court, prosecutors would have to convince a jury that the people at Goldman who decided to or actually made some flawed statements knew that those statements were categorically false --- could not under any circumstances have been true --- and that the specific things about which they were knowingly and categorically wrong were material: that reliance on those statements benefited Goldman and harmed the people who relied on them.

That's an argument that we penetration testers would say "has a lot of attack surface".

I haven't used C++ in about... 12 years. I'll admit ignorance about the updates that have occurred in recently, so I've got a general question: How is the compatibility between different versions? Specifically, would a C++ 11 compiler be able to compile legacy code written for C++ 03?
But you could equally say that all those C++ concepts are really Rust concepts. So I don't see how that's an argument that C++ is easier to learn than Rust. The strict checking seems to me to be a win, because the compiler tells you what you did wrong instead of having to debug undefined behavior (e.g. dereference after move of unique ptr).
I'm a voting member of that Australian Greens (representing ~10% of voting public on a good day).

The green movement has yet to take responsibility for the disastrous effect our rabid anti-nuclear narrative has had on the health of this planet. For a movement that prides itself on conscientious reflection and progressive evidence based policy our track record on this matter is truly dismal.

Green Party policy on nuclear power is a massive failure.
Sadly, it won't teach you what happens if you fail to consider something.

This means, long hours of tracing, debugging, leak checks etc.

The lesson is: never ever rely on compiler, framework, language or other potentially buggy tools to think for you. Even with Rust's "hard" approach, you can get complacent and hemorrhage performance and memory until there's no turning back.

Those things were written by fallible people without hard mathematical proof everywhere, after all. Rust and especially its libraries too.

Understand libraries, their implementation and design trade-offs if you're using them.
No, perfectly fine - I had that coming completely. I'm glad you got me to reread things.

Yes in 99.9% of cases. The main trouble could come from the angle of accidental move (rvalue cast) somewhere invoking a broken/wrong move constructor or assignment.

Of course, crusty old code can be buggy yet originally working - e.g. relying on implementation defined or undefined behavior. (or even bugs in compiler or standard library implementation)
Is this statistically significant? Some black holes will be somewhat aligned by chance.
The problem here is that this is taking place in the context of design as a profession. If it doesn't matter what your logo looks like because its meaning will be imbued by history, and if the form of the art isn't important, then why do you need professional logo designers? Why would you want the opinion of an 'expert' if an expert's opinion isn't important?

Is the author's opinion an expert opinion? Would you pay for it?

So we can paraphrase Beirut: "I'm a world renowned master logo-smith. I will be heralded as a master communicator. But you could do almost anything. I don't design my logos to communicate, because that's not important." And we're left to work out the values and hypocrisies that are all established into this culture.

This is absolutely an underappreciated feature of SV, and prior to this article I had also heard it held up as one of the reasons SV has a relatively more active and larger startup environment than Boston.

Given the nature of startups and the surprisingly high turnover I've seen of people coming and going at all sorts of companies, it seems impossible to me to create a vibrant, innovative economy with strong non-competes. This is particularly true because the most powerful non-competes are signed by the most senior management, so those with the most experience and best view of a sector are the least able to start something new after leaving their previous gig.

Hey, thanks for the question!

The short answer is, I am not sure. We haven't really had the time to examine the demand/need for this type of service outside of the US.

The longer answer is that if we were to expand abroad the data model would need to be tweaked to adapt to each country/local jurisdictions' particular needs for compliance and automation. This is something that we will already have to do across different jurisdictions in the US and are accounting for as we build the software so, from a purely technical perspective, it should be feasible.
