That, of course, is the ultimate outcome when the other side never offers true compromises, never stops their legal abuses let alone verbal abuses, and makes it crystal clear their objective is to strip us of our best instruments to resist and contain a tyranny.

One who many have made clear has no room for us at all, e.g. the couple in who's home now President Obama launched his political career planned on liquidating 25 million Americans who they judged couldn't be reeducated, adjust for population growth and that's now around 37 million, well over 10% of the population.

And it's only murder if my side loses, the winners after all write the history books. You should be happy for the fair warning of the folly of your actions, should you initially succeed in them.
Prometheus developer here.

To make it highly available, just run two identical Prometheus servers. That way if either fails the other is still sending alerts, and if both are working the Alertmanager will automatically deduplicate the alerts.

As for networking, we recommend running Prometheus on the same network as what it's monitoring to avoid crossing failure domains.

You could also open up whatever ports you need on the firewall, just as you would for any other application. Prometheus is no different from any other monitoring solution in requiring firewalls to allow it's traffic through.
Here is how I implemented a small instruction set for the VM of my experimental language, without using GPRs.

Basically, instruction operands are divided into 4 classes:

- G (global): the operand refers to the global memory space and contains an offset and size.

- A (automatic): the operand refers to the current stack frame. The offset is relative to the current base pointer.

- I (immediate)

- T (temporary): this is where intermediate results from computations are stored. For example, the result of `a + b` from `(a + b) * c` would be stored in the T memory space. Upon the end of a statement in the HLL, all values in the temporary space are discarded.

I don't think that's what it means in this context.

I bet if you ask 100 random people, not 10 would know what Stripe is. Not 10 would know what Angular is. But would you ever describe either of those as "little known"?

I think in this situation it implies that even if you're in the domain you aren't aware... and on this it's not really the case right?
Some of the examples on the comic page starting with: Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies..., are not chosen well.

I think the opposite of a trivial culture is a culture of self improvement, and at least four of those six examples are ostensibly doing something to improve themselves. One is a competitor in online gaming, one is debating online, the two are watching and debating current politics, one is improving his body. Those are all meaningful activities. I understand that they are not intended to be in the context of the comic, and the visual space is limited.

Great comic by the way. Our society seems to be going the way of pleasure, but I don't think it will ruin us.

As someone from SA: we needed those jobs. I'd like it to be different, but there isn't room in SA for long term economics at the moment - Holden closing is putting too many people out of work, and too many suppliers out of work too.

And the cost difference simply isn't true. They are comparing the SA full lifetime cost (including maintenance) vs the overseas build-only cost, as the maintenance was always planned for SA.
I think it was spring of 2012 when I visited Manhattan to buy a 3D printer. I wanted to see one first hand and visited the store in (or around) Soho, and while the store had some great models printed and the staff were enthusiastic, they really didn't sell me on why I should buy one from Makerbot. I did see 3D printing first hand, and decided I would definitely get a printer. Coincidentally, I visited Hack Manhattan that night and a fellow (forgotten his name...) was building a beta PrintrBot Simple and explained why he thought Makerbot wasn't a good design, why Ultimaker is a much better product (extruder feed motor placement, speed, accuracy, and reliability) and finally, the most important, that no one buying their first 3D printer should be spending 2000 dollars. Get a PrintrBot kit, spend a few hundred bucks and upgrade when needed.
It was great advice. There are many design files on the Internet, but it was really CAD that I needed to learn. And in the meantime, there was so much to learn about printing: different materials, filament suppliers, how to deal with calibration, optimize slicing options, troubleshoot extrusion speeds, filament quality, and printing temperatures to name a few.
It's been nearly 4 years, the little PrintrBot Jr kit has been discontinued, but it still works well and I will probably upgrade this year. The technology and features available are far better today (OMG auto levelling beds) and I want a much larger printing area and faster printer.
Makerbot provided a brand for 3D printing, but also a promise that it was ready for consumers. They really weren't, and probably still aren't. Further, CAD and 3D modelling are not trivial skills to acquire. Regardless of the future of the company and their missteps, they did bring about massive consumer awareness of the technology.
Facebook's interest in bots has nothing to do with enabling the delivery of amusing gifs and everything to do with becoming the de facto service to prove who you are on the internet. If that service is in the first-world Western internet then who you are is proved by an OAuth secret tied to your Facebook profile. If that service is in the developing world then it's going to have to work using a mobile chat app and a textual interface, and be on a network that user's are happy to use because the data comes free from Internet.org ... eg a bot on Facebook chat.

All of Facebook's chatter about bots is about getting people to register on Facebook.

The results that I see seem quite good, but I also find the lack of any objective benchmarks or performance measures to be one flaw in the paper. This might explain why they published in a graphics conference (SIGGRAPH) rather than an ML or computer vision conference (which would probably demand benchmarks).
The fallacy here is that causing harm is intrinsically bad. Causing harm can be legitimate or illegitimate. Guns are designed for sport or to cause harm, and the fact that the latter is sometimes used illegitimately does not change the legitimate uses. Computers are designed to handle information, and they can be used for that purpose legitimately or illegitimately.
I have a friend who owns a 2007 BMW 745. The car is an electronics nightmare and needs BMW's service software to keep it running properly. For example, installing a new battery requires a system reset through the service software. Problem is that the software runs on an old laptop that dual boots into a custom image of windows xp or some Linux based system. The machine needs an rs-232 port, which is not rare itself yet, but you also need a special OBDII to ethernet to rs-232 adapter. The maintenance software is a nightmare to work with and requires constant restarts to get the network connection to close in order to run some other test. You can get the computer on ebay with the software and additional hardware but they are they are getting rare and old.
That depends on the customer. In the case of most commercial launches, the insurance policy that was required by the investors financing the launch pays out. In the case of government launches (who didn't need to borrow money for the specific purpose of the launch), they just eat the cost of the payload.
The trickery is based on the apparent politics. The question is whether the incentive was honest or not.

In reallity I'd guess that outsourcing is only really viable when the production volume is big enough and if the knowledge to select the right process is there. Homebrew is educative and saves a lot of money if the work hours can be deducted or counted as training, fun or early investment.

Google Maps, like several other google products (like Groups, even Search), has seen a constant degrade in user experience since 2005 or so.

Maybe people forgot, but google maps was /blazing fast/ in the beginning.

Nowdays, it brings my browser down to a crawl even before the images are shown. Maybe people are just stuck with this "google is the best" mentality, but this has stopped being universally true since many years.

Use OpenStreetMap. It's data is way superior. It's _your_ data. Cannot strett this enough.

Want a fancy browser? Nokia maps have always been incredibly sleek to use:

https://maps.here.com/

Heck, even bing maps are /so much faster/. The imagery is also higher quality in several regions.

Google has still the lead with street view, but for the actual maps I really encourage you to look for alternatives. They've destroyed their interface as far I'm concerned.
Which have a track record of investing into the wrong idea s and\or hindering competition by establishing aristocratic courts.

I think establishing small distributed arc bunkers which can reboot nature and humanity is a more viable solution. Meanwhile for the main branch of the species the best approach is lots of small groups approaching different solutions sharing success while firetrenching failure. Unfortunately that runs against the lers hurdle together and avoid strife instincts. So within big entitys small entity s are created to emulate the process.buti digress
Yes, the interactivity (search, zoom, pan, satellite, topo, traffic, earth, streetview) of google maps acts very much like other dimensions to the map and makes it QUALITATIVELY different from paper maps.

The complaints of the OP are perfectly valid but they're more a matter of taste than an example of bad design decisions.

Maybe the OP would be satisfied with a couple of sliders?

This is reminiscent of the dichotomy of well structured software versus copy protection/cracking -- software development thrives in clear organization and separation of concerns, but so does cracking (i.e. having a single function take care of all license management will make it crackable in minutes). So software devs who want good DRM are forced to employ arcane obfuscation and back-handed tactics, sometimes at the detriment of the functionality and repairability of the software. I guess that's part of why we can't have good things...
When I'm trying to do something 'big', i start with the technical papers on the subject. Often, I get those by finding the syllabus of a graduate class (or classes) in the field.

If you don't actually know what you're even looking for, NO MAP whatsoever will be able to help you-- perhaps just take a walk?

Of course, you DO have SOME idea of what you're looking for and that's where Google maps can help infinitely better than any paper map.
> whence your posts here

I assure you, your imputation is incorrect.

You provide useful historical context, the history of automata is fascinating but is not in any way counterfactual to Lovelace's primacy.

Automata certainly inspired A.I. & robotics, both the pioneers & modern roboticists like Tilden's BEAM and Brook's Behaviour-based robots, exploring mechanical intelligence. Automata influenced early British Cybernetics ( e.g. Grey Walter's Turtles ) & thence the schools of Artificial Life. Daniel Dennet's influential Theory of Mind cites Vaucason's duck automata among others.

I reiterate, if Babbage wrote a program we have no record today. Lovelace was capable of writing the program. Lovelace published one and that's what counts. Thus:

Lady Ada Lovelace was the 1st programmer.

Without clear and undisputable evidence to the contrary I shall side with Alan Turing on the matter, he cites both Lovelace & Babbage as inspirations.
Here's a BBC Radio Four programme about various forms of anosmia. It includes a woman who can't smell her partner, and she misses that, and realises that smell is often mentioned by bereaved people as being a powerful trigger for memories.

That's not really a scaling problem though. It's an availability one. Cassandra just doesn't compromise on it.

You have alternatives, and it doesn't really have to mean a whole lot of extra work until you get to "crazy" levels. No one wants a StrategyFactoryFactoryVisitorImpl, but on the other end of the spectrum you can get a ton of mileage out of a few Facades in the right place.

Scalability is an optimization topic. But just like the premature saying everyone knows, the follow up that is less acknowledged is maybe the more important part (IMO).

It's not unreasonable to think that the invasion could have been managed in such a way that most Iraqis (2 of the 3 primary groups) would see us as liberators. As it is, we only managed that with the Kurds.

The reason I think that is because the Saddam regime was based on oppressing the Kurds and Shiites, and elevating the Sunnis at their expense. In that kind of situation, you can pull the liberator thing off if done carefully.

Agree completely. One of the best things I found about American Research System is that good research happens in many universities and not just the top/Ivy League ones. The benefits from this cannot be overstated: research is a speculative field, and the only way to increase the probability of "success" is to have many different people trying different approaches.
I guess I missed my edit window:

> except for division, which is highly non-intuitive and has more pitfalls than usual pitfall of division by zero.

Division literally works the same way it does normally:

10 / 2 = 5 => 5 subtractions of 2 from 10 gives 0.

0: 10
1: 8
2: 6
3: 4
4: 2
5: 0

4 / 3 = 6 mod 7 => 6 subtractions of 3 from 4 gives 0

0: 4
1: 1
2: 5
3: 2
4: 6
5: 3
6: 0

I wouldn't say it's fraught with pitfalls, just that it's not common to see. FWIW, in an under- or overflow- situation we normally don't want modular arithmetic, hence why we still attempt to trap instead of ignore it.
