I didn't say anything was impossible. I said the Linux Kernel, and operating systems in general, have TCP/IP stacks not designed to facilitate the highest theoretical possible throughput.

And you mention "maxing out" a link. I bet you're talking about maximum throughput. That requires the maximum possible frame size. I, and the article, are talking about maximum frame rate, which requires the minimum possible frame size. The maximum rate results in about 18x more packets per second. (This is for a typical MTU of 1500; let's not get into jumbo frames...)

And you talk about 1Gbps. For a 10Gbps link, which is the most likely use case in the article, it results in 10x more packets per second, which requires a comparable scale in computing resources. But the stack is only designed to scale to the more likely use case of 1Gbps links; after 8 or so cores, performance can drop off precipitously.

So to hit the maximum packets per second of a 10Gbps link, you would need to handle 180x more packets per second than the max throughput of a 1Gbps link. Most stacks are not designed or performance tested with that in mind.
That's a better test to evaluate future users of modern architecture.

I didn't know what UFC is, so looking it up I saw that there's a European version which has teams competing. I can't tell how legitimate it is, since it also has teams comprised of seemingly football(soccer) hooligans. If so, it sounds like a better stress relief than engaging at a football(soccer) match.

I believe that. It's possible because perhaps the buyer is under the impression that the agent is working in their interest and doesn't have a bias. (Similar to the way you might believe the restaurant waiter if they tell you a few things that you don't expect to hear from them..)

What's the advantage of Elixr/Phoenix over straight Erlang and something like Nitrogen or N2O?

I understand that some people (especially those with a Ruby/Rails background) find Elixr/Phoenix more familiar. But is there more going on here than syntactic sugar?

If it's ultimately a BEAM application, I'm guessing that Elixr can't do anything that you can't do in Erlang, is that wrong?
Facebook deletes meme page mocking Hillary Clinton
I spent less than 20 minutes outside. Five of those minutes were spent enjoying the game. One of those minutes I spent trying to look as pleasant and nonthreatening as possible as I walked past a somewhat visibly disturbed white woman on her way to the bus stop. I spent the other 14 minutes being distracted from the game by thoughts of the countless Black Men who have had the police called on them because they looked "suspicious" or wondering what a second amendment exercising individual might do if I walked past their window a 3rd or 4th time in search of a Jigglypuff.
Because marketing.. I say this jokingly but I mean it. The success of the UFC is because it was treated as a business, not as a sport.
>Referees are generally very well-trained and the overriding imperative is fighter safety.

I don't know if I'd agree with either of these statements, as we saw this weekend.

First, UFC events seem inundated with horrible stoppages. Early stoppages are annoying, but at least they're safe. Late stoppages still abound, though. Lauzon vs Sanchez was a good example of this. But these guys were put on the card to smash, so the ref made sure the fans got their money worth. We got to watch Sanchez stumble around on his feet in a daze.

For the second, the referees seem to be most concerned about the entertainment of the fans, first and foremost. Forcing Cormier and Silva into a stand-up on multiple occasions Saturday night is an example here. The refs are more than happy to force people to go toe-to-toe.

I think the athletes in the UFC are kind of getting screwed. Floyd Mayweather made more money in one fight than every UFC athlete has made combined since the UFC started.

Google Plans to Train 2M Indian Developers on Android
You need nothing like full genome sequencing to figure out the species of a sample. Just sequencing some mitochondrial D-loop and cytochrome regions will do. I am not sure exactly, but we're talking some hundreds or some thousands of base pairs only.
I did cringe. This is my field. (I know virtually all of the people he's been talking with.)

The descriptions are accurate, but murky. One huge missing piece is a description of the structure of the genome. There is one mention of the word chromosome. The words haplotype and allele never make an appearance. There is no mention of the fact that we are diploid, nor that one copy of our chromosomes comes from each of our parents. Nor is there any hint as to the way that we share our genomes.

Maybe I'm allergic to assertions of novelty, but I don't enjoy his claim that he's the first journalist to get access to their "raw" genomic data. That's just being fancy. Is it necessary to say that? In any case, what's "raw" changes every few years, so someone else will soon get the chance to say the same thing. (I gripe, but I have to admit that it's nerdy/cool to see someone writing so much about BAM files :) !)

I'm still waiting for the first journalist to mention genome structure in a popular article on genomics. As badly as we need to understand what's going on in the genome, the public, and particularly professionals whose work brings them to articles like this, need to develop an intuition about how genomes work.

> In 2.0, we’ve started using control flow analysis to better understand what a type has to be at a given location.

Sounds like Flow. Curious to see how they converge/diverge over time.

I know there are people who hate the tooling spaghetti that modern JS development involves, but I appreciate that I can plug Flow into a babel/webpack stack and have it just do the error checking. I also have high hopes for things like tree shaking and its ilk that control flow analyzers (Flow, and now TypeScript) will bring to JS going forward.

I'm sure you could have Babel just do the experimental transforms and pipe the result into TypeScript, but having two separate sugar/transformation systems seems not-great.

I've never owned a car in a city as dense as SF or New York so maybe it's different in places like that, but this strikes me as yet another example of the "Uber-For-X" SV startup that doesn't solve any real problem. Stopping by the gas station once a week on my way home is simply not a big enough annoyance for me to subscribe to yet another service.

I'm also skeptical of the long-term prospects of this business model based on the rise of transportation-as-a-service and the inevitable demise of gasoline in favor of EV's. Both of those factors will be especially pronounced in the Bay Area, where this startup hopes to gain a foothold.
Lately I've taken to call myself a "code plumber" at work. Mostly I work in the depths of infrastructure doing things that are invisible to users, usually involving thick pipes transferring petabytes from place A to place B, then place B to place C.. I rarely create anything new from whole cloth, most of what I do is maintenance and monitoring. Even the large projects involve migrations of various sorts. On the rare occasions I build something new and user-visible, 99% of it lies submerged in the backend.

All this means that (since I'm pretty one-dimensional and all I do is hack) I need my side project to stay sane :)

Typescript is a superset of Javascript, but it it's not only Javascript plus types. Some features like async/await could end up being implemented differently in Ecmascript. It seems inevitable that there could be incompatibilities in the future. But the same happens with Babel or other transpilers when they introduce features that are not yet standardized.
The Problem with PTO
The best takeaway from that book is the "cycle" of habit: cue -> routine -> reward. The message of the book is that if you have a bad habit, e.g. smoking, there is a "cue" that causes you to engage in the "routine" of smoking, for the "reward" of nicotine. Unfortunately, these cycles are hard wired into our brain, so once they're fully established, we can't change them. The author offers the solution: keep the "cue" and the "reward," but change the "routine." The first step is recognizing the cue. Once you know what it is, you can replace the "routine" with something more benign, that also leads to a reward.

So for procrastination, maybe the "cue" is your code compiling, and the "routine" is typing "n -> down -> enter" into your address bar to get to hacker news, and the reward is some sort of stimulus. You can fix this habit by recognizing the "cue" of code compiling, and swapping it out for a new routine, like 30 pushups, to get a stimulus reward of energy.

> The company has engineered its own gas delivery trucks with a proprietary system, called the Fuel Vault, which allows Yoshi to access any car’s tank, even if the gas flap is locked

I'd like to know what a glamorized fuel cell has to do with somehow circumventing the lock on many gas caps.

I imagine it's some sort of tool that somehow defeats the locks on such gas caps and flaps, which poses interesting questions about legality (as they acknowledge in the post). I certainly would not signup for a service that risks breaking or damaging my vehicle, nor am I about to hand over keys to my vehicle either.

How large of a market is there for this really? Frankly, is this a problem really needing solving? This company must charge a premium for the service, which makes your fillups cost more than if you just spent the 2 minutes it takes to pump your own gas.
Thank you for pointing this out... I would think the long term stability and/or growth of the company should be the paramount concern... that would include the employees and community(ies) that a company has presence or operates in. Beyond that growth for investors would naturally follow, but maximizing short term profits is short sighted to say the least.

Just my pov though.

I don't find the UFC brutal at all. Even when the fights get bloody.

I don't wince when someone is getting punched the UFC. But watching an innocent man be killed in cold blood? That's brutality.

The fights usually end with a hug or a handshake, there is a mutual respect for the sport, and for each other, that lessens the impact of the "violence" IMO.

One theory is that archaic Manhattanites celebrated a long midsummer religious holiday. It began with the sun rising between the temples and ended weeks later with its setting between the temples. Of course, the constraints of underwater archeology makes definitive interpretation difficult.

At these rates it doesn't make any sense for any company to hire in the bay area. There are amazing engineers elsewhere in the US and in the world who have much more reasonable salary expectations and also live in places with much more reasonable living expenses.

The probability is higher for ES to implement async/await than the ! operator. The former is a safe bet, the latter isn't, by a long shot.

> Microsoft and the TS team have issued a mandate that TypeScript will always be a superset of EcmaScript and if ES2019 includes decorators that are incompatible with TypeScript's then it will be addressed at that time.

It means that language will break. Not very good if you write large TS codebases today.

> TypeScript was never meant to be just type annotations+ES6, there is Flow[1] for that.

That's your opinion. I'm not interested in Flow.

Ultimately TS is successful because it more or less looks like Action Script 3/ES4/JScript.net and javascript itself. Make it too Alien and the people who refused to use Coffee script because of its semantics will not want to use TS. And FYI I use TS today. I may reconsider that.
I've seen Booster Fuels trucks around at a company I used to work at. To me this makes the most sense as a perk offered by a company not in a major city, that has huge parking lots of cars. I used to commute to Santa Clara 3x a week from SF and needed to re-fuel every week. If the company offered the service as a perk with me just paying for gas, that would be pretty convenient no-brainer.
