I agree, I think an SMX is the closest to a CPU core - it contains dispatch, cache, schedulers etc. CUDA threads are of course have important differences since all threads in a warp move in lockstep. IMO, all of these contrived definitions are just to ease in programmers into the CUDA/OpenCL model or for bragging rights (like how a Jetson has 192 cores!).
The fallacy is that you keep talking about "truth" as if it was such a simple thing to identify.

Where is the truth between legalizing marijuana or not? Where is the truth between allowing somebody who is 20 years and 11 month old to drink or not? And I'm not even getting near real controversial topics such as gay marriage, abortion, polygamy and co.

There is no truth, just what the majority considers "good" or "desirable" at a given point in time.

And yes, sometimes we realize decades later that it was dumb. or rather, we like to judge with our eyes what people did 100 years before us and want to pretend we would have known better, that they were just morons.
It's much worse than that; they're using number of warm chairs as a measure of their own importance. Troops you can't see aren't troops and their general not much of a general.
GG spent the vast majority of its energy harassing and personally attacking two women, one of whom wasn't even involved in gaming journalism.

GG also completely ignored the fundamental ethical violation in traditional game journalism - that review sites make all their money by advertising the products they review. Instead, it spent all of its time complaining about how some idie game developer is friends with an indie game reviewer, and sending death threats to Anita and Zoe.

If it looks like a thug, walks like a thug, and quacks like a thug... You can't expect anyone to take its valid points particularly seriously.

In a stunning lack of self-awareness, GG has never considered that perhaps it should apply its expectations for ethical behaviour to itself.
Not a bad idea, but it means deploying a surface to everyone, and frankly most people want to use Macs, so I'd have to give two devices to everyone, one of which would only get used for whiteboarding, which doesn't happen that often.
A most colorful analogy. I agree that there's also an important counterpoint, in that sense.
> it is less clear about what the FP16 performance is

Very curious about this as well. I got two GeForce 1080s as soon as they came out, and was very sad to discover that the stated advantage of Pascal architecture (speedup on FP16) is completely lacking on those.
Try spending even a night in a U.S. jail, or worse yet, any considerable amount of time in a US jail while awaiting trail, and ONLY THEN can you appreciate how easy he got off.

> The biggest unsolved problem is whiteboarding - there is no good collaborative online whiteboarding solution that doesn't require a lot of expensive equipment to be deployed to everyone.

Maybe my company is just weird, but we don't use whiteboards all that much. At least for code our preferred collaboration method is pairing, which isn't as hard over a network.

We write NLP software, and most of our whiteboard usage is for drawing out linguistic constructs and often involves only one person doing the drawing, which seems like an easy subset of whiteboarding to handle remotely.
What up-votes? I can barely read the Ask-HN question, it's such a light shade of gray. Someone really doesn't like it it seems.

I gave it an up-vote anyway, because this is an interesting and highly relevant topic in the tech field, though I'm dubious of getting any substantive responses from anyone who's any kind of manager.
Is the use of "isomorphic" in "isomorphic javascript" that far off? You're mapping [program, output] pairs from one environment (client) to another (server), ideally creating the same structure. Isn't that an isomorphism? Sure to be mathematically rigorous you'd have to jump through lots of hoops, but the context is closer to Hofstadter's use than abstract algebra.

I'd argue that usage is more "technically" correct than David Chang, who's referring to the _entities_ as the isomorphisms rather than the relationships between them. (Though I understand his usage and find no problem with it in the given context.)
Have you considered letting your senior people, whom you apparently trust to be remote, mentor your juniors remotely?

> While the above equation, dubbed the "superformula" by Gielis (2003), is clearly capable of describing a number of diverse biological shapes having a variety of symmetries, it seems unlikely that this formula has any particularly fundamental biological significance (Peterson 2002, Whitfield 2003) beyond as a possibly convenient parametrization. [1]

I'm not a huge fan of these random parametrizations; overall, it seems like they have no physical significance (yay! it can describe a bunch of things! I can do that anyways by picking a linear space with enough dimensions or a nice non-linear kernel and projecting into the first few principal components, and best of all, it's going to be fit directly to my problem). I'd like to be enlightened as to why this is such a big deal and why anyone would do this instead of parametrization of meshes for procedural generation? It seems a few comments here are referencing NMS, hence the question.

As someone who is remote about 90%, I contend the watercooler chat magic is overrated and a waste of time. I was previously in office full time. I was one of the first tech hires. I am mostly a programmer, with a good deal of overlapping ops and analysis thrown in. I'm part of a very small engineering staff (under 10) in an overall small company (under 30 people). My work output in our open office drops to around 10% of the output when I work from my house. This is code, documentation, and meetings attended. People spend more time at the office because they are constantly interrupted (both by off-topic conversations as well as for work-related things) and need to stay late (past 40 hours) to finish their tasks. From informal notes, conversations that occur via Skype or In Person are poorly documented and tend to be rehashed more often than written communications via Github or Slack. IMO, if the entire team was remote and utilized more written communications, we'd be spend less time rehashing old topics and more time delivering value. As to the spontaneity and ideation of face to face, I've observed this happening over video chat and slack just as often as in the office. If people are excited about their work, they will talk about it, in person or not.
Why would you consider R&D to be the only expansion expense?
There are legitimate ways to be critical of the UK’s EU membership as a long-term economic strategy. Reasoning through these criticisms carefully and cogently might be possible. And afterward, it’s not out of the question that someone could come up with a plan for how the UK could leave the EU in order to bring real growth and prosperity to the UK (and maybe the EU also?).

But that’s not what happened, and it’s not what’s going to happen. The Brexit vote happened with no plan for how the follow-through would work. It’s as if my family were to vote against the current foundation of my house, and then start ripping it up without first voting for a new foundation.

I've spent a lot of time using both OpenCL and CUDA, and I would recommend CUDA not because I like NVidia as a company, but because your productivity will be so much higher.

NVidia has really invested into their developer resources. Of course, if your time to write code and debug driver issues isn't that important, then an AMD card using OpenCL might be the right choice.

(I'll try to be honest about my bias against NVidia, so you can more accurately interpret my suggestions. I think along the lines of Linus Torvalds with regard to NVidia... http://www.wired.com/2012/06/nvidia-linus-torvald/ )
Stack Exchange (now Stack Overflow) has a lot of remotes. I'm not sure what the exact ratio is, but it's not too far off from 50/50 (in engineering, anyway).
Video Feature: Continuous Delivery – The Crucial Engine of Software Development

That argument isn't valid here and does not lead to positive contributions to HN. Why? Because the topic here is/was concrete: a biologist who made a discovery about lichens. To use that as fodder for an ideological argument is to take the discussion in the wrong direction: away from something that gratifies intellectual curiosity into something that does not, however important it may otherwise be.

Intellectual curiosity is HN's core value. Curiosity is gratified by things that are specific, so the specific is precious here. Generic ideological arguments are the opposite: they're reruns of episodes seen many times, for which circumstances are interesting only as primer fuel, quickly to be discarded on getting going.

Worse, the energy they mobilize is agitated and the stance they induce is rigid. They throw people out out of the relaxed, reflective state that makes for good HN conversation, charging their reflexes and putting them into battle mode . From an intellectual curiosity point of view, it doesn't matter what the battle is—we end up with scorched earth either way.

It may be important to get people marching, but let's not march over a lichen garden.
/r/the_donald had the "sheriff star" still displayed several days after it hit the media.

It's such thinly veiled hate speech. The tone of the denials hint to those who are anti-semitic that this will be their platform from which to indulge in their hatred.

Even a decade ago, no large corporate forum would put up with this sort of liability. It's crazy.
Our management wants onsite for better control. I think it's all feelings based. We want to hire in Seattle. We had some remote not work out, therefore all remote is "bad".

I think BS. We just got a new remote QA team and they are doing great.

We have two remote devs also who are doing good work.

I interpret the evidence to show that remote does work.

I still get push back on it but the rationale is based on words like "better" and "easier" without quantifiers.

My feelings are that some managers like to interrupt frequently for "urgent fires" and that is easier when someone is a few metres away.
If You Don’t Do Anything Outrageous Now What Will You Smile at Later?
The essence of the Liar's paradox ("this sentence is false") is that the sentence refers to itself -- it's a "strange loop". Godel's incompleteness proof shares this property of self-reference.

There is no self-reference in the paradox of something having 2 properties at once (e.g. undersalted and oversalted).

It is a paradox, but it's not a Liar's paradox or a strange loop. In other words, not all paradoxes are the Liar's paradox.

I am a remote worker and if I ever ran a company I wouldn't allow telecommuting. Here is why:

When I was at the office for a decade, 90% of the insight and productivity came from informal conversations in the hallway, lunches and things I overheard in passing. As a remote worker, nearly all communication is very deliberate so I am not exposed to those ad-hoc conversations. Everything is very deliberate: I receive an email, a text or a meeting. The net result is my personal career becomes very confined and stunted... I become that guy who does that one thing rather than a team-member who has an awareness of everything and the ability to jump in as needed.

Being remote also limits my upward mobility. Most of my promotions and moves were because I would walk back from a meeting with an executive and talk about what was discussed and express interest in taking ownership. These walk-and-talks are the only availability in an execs schedule. I tried to get time with an exec remotely and it was a full two months before I could get any time-- and since it was scheduled it wasn't ad-hoc and overly formal ("What would you like to discuss?").

So, in my judgement, remote workers are fine for very defined single tasks. For dynamic workers that move about the company and immerse themselves in lots of projects and want upward mobility, I can't recommend it.

I feel like my experience of being in office and remote at the same company gives me some unique perspective versus the people who join a company remotely and never fully appreciate what they are missing.
I'm guessing this is not a worry for a digital ocean droplet. Do you know if that is the case?
Good point. I guess it depends on the use case.
We're heavy SendGrid users and this is basically the excuse we've been looking for to jump ship after several years with them.

SG is incompetent with regards to email delivery. This should not come as a surprise to anyone that uses their service.

It took a month for them to confirm what we told them: users will still receive previously-queued emails even after they unsubscribe (!!!), meaning it's no surprise that they will flag future messages they receive as spam. A month or so later, SG acknowledged the bug but stated they had no intention of fixing that behavior at this time!

Their _core_ selling point is email delivery with low rejection and you don't need to build it yourself. They totally failed there as users are rightly marking their messages as spam _and_ we are therefore required to write, run, and maintain our own mail queuing service to check outgoing emails against _their own unsubscribe list_ before forwarding the email to SG to deliver for us. At this point, we use them only for the metrics, which is just not worth supporting such a sleazy operation.
The police in Munich are now saying that at least several have been killed and injured. Sky News saying that police report multiple shooters, with none in custody.
Reasons against remote working:
1. Timezone issues - this is, imo, the biggest one. Especially after working with people in China, India, Europe or even eastern USA (with me in SF bay area). People all over the world usually start working around 9-10, and stop working around 6-7. Meetings, code/design discussions are very difficult on those schedules, especially when you want a decision on smaller issues where a quick back n forth would settle the matter in 30 min if everyone was in the same room. And there are plenty of such issues, where unavailability of your coworkers seriously affects the productivity.

2. Rapport / Camaraderie: Knowing someone in-person, having lunch/dinner/coffee with them, having watercooler talks about casual stuff etc builds a rapport, which helps build closer work relationships. I don't think people in remote locations are any different than my colleagues here, but the rapport is simply not there if I am going to meet them on video conf or IM only a few times a week.

3. Impromptu discussions: These are triggered by spontaneous ideas, and ideas do not come according to a fixed schedule of meetings. By not having remote workers in these discussions, both sides lose (by not having more brains, as well as by missing out).

As someone new to React, I wonder

a) How is this different from getting a custom starter kit/generator from Yeoman. Searching in yeoman, I see several for "React" with the top one having over 9.5k stars http://yeoman.io/generators/

b) Is Facebook planning to maintain and keep this generator current? Why don't they just contribute/recommend an existing generator
> There's a reason that most functional democracies have a constitution can only by changed by meeting a higher bar than simple majority: it's too important, too sensitive, and too irreversible to be decided without something closer to consensus.

In the general case I agree, but I think this vote is a bit different in that it was arguably about reverting another constitutional change - the ongoing abdication of many functions to an EU government with much less democratic accountability to the UK public - which was never legitimized by popular vote at all.

The last relevant UK referendum was the 1975 one on "European Communities membership", and at the time the EEC was pitched to voters as a purely economic arrangement, with none of the aspects of supranational government later introduced by Maastricht. That economic phrasing found just over two-thirds support, while polling conducted around the same time on political integration found (IIRC) just under one-third support.

As far as I know, every time European political integration has been put to a referendum, it's been rejected. The "Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe" was rejected by the French and Dutch populations in 2005; after that it was temporarily shelved then sneakily repackaged as the "Treaty of Lisbon" in 2008. Ireland held a referendum and rejected that too, but since that was the wrong answer it was forced to hold it again and voters were basically told to vote yes or else.

So the situation is not at all like the formation of something like the USA, where state populations explicitly agreed to political union. Political union is happening against the wishes of national populations. I don't think national leaders, even democratically elected ones, have the right to take power away from the populations they represent, any more than they have the right to say "hey, guess what, we're not going to have any more elections, we'll just stay in office forever".
I have worked on remote-only teams which were great because everything was set up for that workflow. In companies where you have a lot of on-site people the remote guys add a lot of overhead because now you need processes for on-site and offsite people.

I am fine if a guy shows up two times a week or so but I am wary of full-time remote workers unless I know I can trust them to not waste time on irrelevant tangents. There needs to be some level of maturity.

Time zones are also an issue.I would not work with somebody 12 hours away.

Don't believe the conspiracy theorists out there, that this wasn't a push to the PRO plan for free tier usage account holders.

The free tier customers don't actually earn any money for send-grid, so I wouldn't be surprised if this little stunt increased subscriptions for the pro plan!

Remember, this wasn't an outage for anyone other than free tier account holders and that's why it wasn't on the outage page!
