If you read your own results with care you will notice that your results also show that fastest brotli is faster than fastest zstd. Your results also show that brotli compresses more than zstd at higher settings, even if you turn off the static dictionary of brotli.

If you are interested at zstd 0.7.1 -22, you can reach the same compression density with brotli 0.4.0 at quality setting -7 (at least for this file with the static dictionary). Then you are comparing a brotli's compression speed of 57 MB/s to zstd's 4.01 MB/s. Brotli is 14x faster at this compression density.

For decompress-once roundtrip at this density, brotli achieves 53 MB/s, and zstd 4 MB/s. Brotli's roundtrip is 13x faster.

In decompression brotli is 2x slower on Intel, but decompression times at 800+ MB/s are going to be negligible in most use (think < 1 % of cycles in your datacenter), if the data is parsed/processed somehow afterwards.

Brotli's entropy encoding is simpler (no 64-bit operations), and because of this on 32 bit arm the decompression speeds of zstd and brotli are about the same.

I acknowledge that there can be use cases where zstd 0.7.1 can be favorable to brotli 0.4.0 -- particularly those where a 32+ MB file is compressed at once and the 150-500 MB/s compression speed range, but even this simple compression test shows that brotli can compress significantly (5-10+ %) more with the higher quality settings.
Could you file issues for all of these
(preferably with secreenshots)?

Thanks!

I really don't mean this in a snarky way: wasn't this kind of thing supposed to be obviated by the switch to Rust? It often seems that every other post about Rust on HN says that if it compiles, it works.
Well, boost is by many considered a de facto extension of the standard library.

one advice - take a backpack, turn off your phone and go around india for couple of months, low key, low budget. either himalaya, or south, or anything in between (varanasi can be a powerful experience). it changed my life for better, much better, and so did for many more people. It doesn't have to be india per se, but it's the most exotic place to western culture out there and supremely huge.

(on personal level, mountains and travelling to them & around did it for me. it takes time to be in shape to enjoy them and not only suffer up & down, but it's well worth it. most intense moments of my life happened this way. i will die with a smile on my face for having a privilege to experience them)
Huh, i heard them say "controlled descent". That is, they would try to land the probe on the surface, rather than slam-crash it intentionally.

With the kind of gravity comets have, crashing might be trickier than landing.
Ask HN: Share experience with Strongloop Loopback for your startup?
They're open source and seems like a serious alternative to Firebase/Parse. Also, they full support NPM unlike Meteor. Can they be considered as primary interface for backend and for the APIs?
I don't think this is the right forum to ask for such questions.
Isn't that basically the MO of every startup?

No none them are big, 2K is the largest publisher that releases games on Linux not on day one usually but at least you can get some of their bigger titles within 3 years of release. But even they don't publish them directly they sell off the rights to publish to Aspyr they also do not provide support for their titles on Linux/MacOS everything goes through Aspyr.

CD Projekt Red is technically a developer (CD Projekt is the publisher ;)) and they've made 3 games only 1 of them The Witcher 2 got released on Linux ~4 years after it's PC/Console release.

Valve isn't a large publisher either, they are a big company but not a large publisher.

Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment has 2 Linux Titles

Sega isn't a large publisher either, only Total War was released on Linux and it wasn't published by Sega for that platform.

Deep Silver is a small Publisher.

Square Enix doesn't really publishes directly they release their games through various distributors like Bandai Namco, the Linux and OSX version of Tomb Raider has been published by Feral Interactive which also funded the development for those platforms.

Not sure i agree.

You may be more likely to have an "accident" elsewhere.

But im reasonably sure that you are much more likely to die at highway speeds.

This is one of the great things about tesla logging everything tho.

That's fine, and I don't use Rails either - but this post was about Rails. People who use or want to use Rails are likely to benefit from the new features. Even if that number has declined somewhat, it's still a lot of people, that still merits development, it's still a topic of interest to others on HN, and it's easy to avoid if you find that you aren't personally interested.

Besides which, I can't see that a switch from Rails to Node is going to have any strong advantage if you are equally proficient in each. If they're really about the same, this would boil down to "I like JS more than Ruby," which is not about the technology so much as personal feelings.
Thanks for sharing! This looks awesome!
Death?
Is anyone aware of a site that the memory footprints of default Rails apps? I know that this may not be the greatest indication of the memory footprint in an actual running app, but I feel it'd still be interesting data. It'd have the be segmented by ruby version, of course.
Good point.

But let's say we have Chain A with 51% and Chain B with 49%.
If the miners on Chain A want to attack Chain B, they'd have to move their computing power onto Chain B. In which case the miners from Chain B, could attack Chain A while they're busy doing their attack on Chain B.

In the end, it would be MAD (mutually assured destruction) unless the miners from one chain had enough to defend theirs while attacking the other. For that you'd need at least 66.6(repeating, of course)% miners on Chain A with half of those able and willing to perform an attack on Chain B.

I think this would be hard to achieve.
well, staying at one place makes no sense if you want to have ultimate experience. one can easily spend 10-20 years travelling from one exotic location to the next, if cash is present. even just tropical paradise hopping can be done for 1-2 years.

best setup i've seen is to travel around the globe maybe 2 years, through all possible locations. enjoy given country for few weeks/months if it's a big one and move.

after that, people were ready to settle (but who knows for how long)

A Tesla was involved in a fatal crash while in autopilot mode
The main problem with all of this, is that its not a true autopilot. In fact its the worst kind of autopilot. one that bails out at the last minute leaving you fuck all time to take action.

telsa's autopilot is level 3, which means freeway driving only: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_car#Classification

The thing I fear now is the toxic mix of fanboyism and excessive PR management reminiscent of the worst excesses of Detroit. The only way safety is improved is when hubris and bluster is put to one side.
And don't overlook the fact that the society he is presenting is destroying the only place where any other society could be built, namely The Earth.
As someone who grew up in Transilvania I would disagree you have as much freedom and influence in Cluj as a member of the LGBT community as in London.

Yes the laws are a bit lacking but if you have the money you could actually change that.

Nobody really cares what your sexual preference or orientation is in Transilvania and most of the younger generation are very open minded so you don't have anything to worry about.
It wouldn't necessarily be cause to disengage the autopilot. Plenty of things could cause negative acceleration besides a collision. A hill, a patch of mud, etc. And presumably they didn't anticipate this kind of situation, so didn't include moderate slowing due to collision as a code path.
You can't stop momentum like that on a dime.
A remarkable number of people with impressive resumes don't just lack these insights, they will actively argue with them.
Which of course depending on their ranking implementation seems kinda odd, as you could expect a big part of the users of SO also to be the ones using DDG. But again if it categorically undervalues results from there, then those users will of course find alternatives.
You're seeing that black people are being fined, and proposing that things that make black people distinct from white people are the problem. Your evidence for this thesis is the faint voice wafting up from your own ass. Was slavery caused by the thickness of black people's lips, or the wideness of their noses?

I tried to keep away from this thread, but since my puzzled comment in lieu of a downvote was itself being furiously downvoted, I thought it might be important to tell you that your comment is controversial, yet supported by your average HN reader. You should probably follow it up with a comment on how the size of womens' breasts are what's keeping them out of tech, and how you predict that with testosterone treatments, they could be fixed of their fear of logical thinking.

That I continue to be hired in this industry is a miracle. It's probably just people afraid of being sued. No wonder I feel like I have to be twice as good as everyone else.

It's also unrealistic to assume that an attentive driver would have avoided the crash.

Driving at speed, you have to make assumptions that other people will do the right thing. You pass cars all the time. If you assume that the car might side-swipe you, you wouldn't get far, and you'd be a hazard yourself.

You drive on undivided highways all the time without driving as if the oncoming car might cross in front of you. And so on. We have to assume that others are minimally competent. That's the point of road laws, not just to control you, but to let you assume things about others.
Not good enough.

I think Tesla have a lot to answer for here. They are pushing the limits of a technology which Google has said, "needs to be 100% autonomous". No steering wheel. Tesla knows this, but branded their car as 'auto-pilot' anyway. When it became clear from early youtube videos that people were not using the technology 'correctly' Tesla did nothing more than issuing a statement.

They should be considering a recall. It is not good enough that Tesla PR is 'sad' that someone died. What are they doing about it?
It's definitely slower to actually load pages — I'm guessing that there are still a lot of network optimizations that more mature codebases have accrued that Servo hasn't yet — but holy cow are pages buttery smooth once they do load (and even while they're loading, which is unusual). Comparing Chrome and Servo in terms of UI jank felt pretty shocking, in Servo's favor. Kudos, it looks like Rust and WebRender have paid off.

Looking forward to seeing this evolve.
Earth – a visualization of global weather conditions
No language can fix missing functionality, that seems pretty clear.

Your compiler doesn't know what you're trying to do, so you can't prevent all bugs.

That leaves crashes, and ... well it may also depend on what you mean by a crash. The UI becomes unresponsive? Might have absolutely nothing to do with memory issues or even code written in rust. Maybe your rust code is fine but you're trying to open and write to the same file from two places which you don't realise because the users file system is case insensitive but you've only tested on a case sensitive one, etc.

It's also multi-threaded and while languages can significantly help improve the safety of multi-threaded code, I don't think anything can stop you from creating a deadlock or putting your system into an inconsistent state.

And finally, they may not even particularly expect those things, but putting out early nightly builds to a wider audience and expecting nothing to go wrong would be cavalier. A typical warning on many early releases is "don't blame me if this destroys all your files".
Well again, the Tesla autopilot is not a google car AI pilot system.

IMO, human (customers') expectations require more than a mere autopilot.

> they're appealing to fear of unknown with this hurr-durr GMO bad to eat not natural mantra. That is a lie.

Some GMO product can be safe and beneficial, but it is hard to say all of them are properly tested as rigorously as a medicine, that you also take into your body.

Some of us still remember when DDT and asbestos were considered safe.
Also, the fact that human lives might be at stake makes the whole system life-critical rather than just mission-critical.

Machines can be rebuilt no matter how expensive they are, but human lives are gone for good. Having extremely rigid policies about accepting changes doesn't sound that crazy to me. What kind of serious professional would want to change the code of a life-critical system the same way they change that of a CRUD webapp?

That's a kind of software development where saying "oh, human lives at risk here, I'll be super-careful" doesn't quite cut it.

It sounds like the trailer didn't have underrun guards, which I think are mandatory in Europe, but presumably not in the US.

I expect those would have helped in this situation, as the car would have impacted the guards (and thus it would be a normal collision), rather than having its top sliced off.

A very general question: what's the high-level plan for Servo regarding Firefox? I see a lot of requests/issues dealing with stuff that doesn't seem related to a layout engine. Is the plan to have browser.html as a temporary incubator for Servo and eventually migrate it to replace FF's layout engine, or is it to "grow" an entire new browser around this new engine?

> It is important to note

> It is important to emphasize

I am getting so disappointed by how widespread this wasteful use of the English language has become. The phrase is just filler and means nothing, yet it is used everywhere, nearly every HN thread has someone who uses it. If you need to note something, then note it. By putting it into words, you have said "this is important enough to actually say it." Further saying that it is important is a crutch.

This is probably why copy editors get so frustrated when technical people write things, because the idiom is particularly pervasive in the tech blogosphere.

According to the numbers, Teslas cars are by far the safest ones you can drive.

I don't expect autonomous driving to be perfect until all variables can be accounted for and the largest being humans behind the wheels.
Not so bad results, although a bit slow.
The thing I fear now, is fearmongering by people who dont drive Teslas, havent spent time with Autosteer/autopilot and ignore that this was a freak accident, that probably would have killed the driver regardless of using autopilot.

This is the future of roadsafety.
Yeah; we've mostly ignored the network stack.

So there's some extra copying in the IPC, and
no speculative parsing, which can slow things down, among other factors.

Can be fixed, but priorities :)

And I think it's a myth you can't. I did so for a year and for various reasons had to jump back to the meat grinder, I never felt less alive than being back to work. It's demeaning, in all senses.

You probably have the wrong idea about chill, if you sleep 10h a day and do nothing else than watch cartoons may be don't blame the lack of work, but the lack of ambition. You can garden (that'll keep you plenty busy), reduce your footprint on this rotten planet by crafting things yourself, be active in meeting new people, open your horizons.

This "work is meaningful" is the biggest lie of our era, it feels meaningful because most have forgotten how to enjoy their day to day life and the fulfillment that comes with being in charge of your own life. Work as we know and do it is a travesty and a lie kept alive because it benefits some.

I hear people talk about progress, about the planet, the environment, well if we stopped working so damn much may be all of that would have a better future, because right now the work & consuming obsessed society we are is destroying it while most like to pretend we're improving.

Craving for work... One craves for work like one craves for death.
Absolutely, however we can at least conclude with quite a bit of certainty that it is not an order of magnitude worse than human drivers.

grellas Tankyou for your very insightful detailed explanation.

for readers that don't know what a RSU is

http://www.calstartuplawfirm.com/business-lawyer-blog/restri...

In a nutshell I think the main diference of RSUs is they compensate based on the full value of the stock, whereas NSOs (Nonqualified Stock Options) only compensate on the stock's appreciation in value.
The level most people in the US live at is called "poverty". The amount of work that goes into food, transportation and clean water is incredibly small, compared to the amount of people it supports, and it could be made immensely more efficient if we weren't using technology that is 100 years old. The only thing a market creates is blind demand for more useless crap, while destroying the very firmament on which it operates. This libertarian "belief" in the benefits of markets is utterly contradicted by scientific evidence which shows that capitalism is the force that is destroying our environment, while extenuating the inequality between the rent-seeking and the rent-paying.
I'm sure your dad taught you to "work hard", but we don't live in the forest anymore. It's time for you to educate yourself about what would be beneficial for society as a whole, rather than believing in adages that (shockingly) uphold and entrench the advantages you have inherited from your birthplace and skin color.
