For comparison, the first supercomputer that was in the Teraflops range and that was available outside of the nuclear labs was the Pittsburgh Terascale machine.

http://www.psc.edu/publicinfo/news/2001/terascale-10-01-01.h...

It cost $45M, and peaked at 6 Teraflops. (I think that was on 32 bit floats, but I can't find the specs. It might have been 64 bit floats)

"Total TCS floor space is roughly that of a basketball court. It uses 14 miles of high-bandwidth interconnect cable to maintain communication among its 3,000 processors. Another seven miles of serial, copper cable and a mile of fiber-optic cable provide for data handling.

The TCS requires 664 kilowatts of power, enough to power 500 homes. It produces heat equivalent to burning 169 pounds of coal an hour, much of which is used in heating the Westinghouse Energy Center. To cool the computer room, more than 600 feet of eight-inch cooling pipe, weighing 12 tons, circulate up to 900 gallons of water per minute, and twelve 30-ton air-handling units provide cooling capacity equivalent to 375 room air conditioners."
I look at it kind of like Perl. You can express ideas in very compact and powerful ways, but the more clever you get the harder it is for other people to read what you've written. Eventually people start to complain that you're working in some sort of write only language that looks like gibberish to all but a small handful of experts.
Very good point, but in nature a binary of sexes is not absolute. You are applying the artificial gender binary to sexes, which in nature are often messy and unclear. This can range from species that change sex organs as they mature, take on different reproductive roles dependent on situations, and even manifests in a statistically significant amount of humans born with both sets of reproductive organs. Assuming two sexes, then going on to conflate that with gender, demonstrates only an elementary understanding of reproductive biology.
>Hopefully, the left wing wakes up too and brings forth some candidates who can address the real root causes instead of blaming it on immigration.

And if the real root cause is immigration? If the answer is so-obviously-not immigration policies, then what? Nobody seems to have an answer.

In every modern Western society - it seems Liberals/Leftists are always so fearful of losing the minority votes that they'll prefer no answer over one that could offend their voting base.

Kind of interesting to think about the two projects and how they diverge based on the core developers.

Ember is made by folks who work on / for small and medium companies[1]. They don't have the build infrastructure Facebook does and are able to create an anointed solution in Ember-CLI because they'll use it daily. React is stuck in a place where the environment it's developed in is unique from what any other user will see. It's difficult to solve a problem when you're not in the space.

EDIT:

This leads to things beyond CLIs too. React is still billed as just a view library instead of a solution for building an entire app. There's no official path from view layer -> complete app (no guidance for data flow, how to communicate with the server, server side rendering, routing on the client).

I think the React team needs to take a little more responsibility for the eco-system it created. You can't call it just a view library when most use cases use it to develop entire applications. You have to provide more guidance, you can't fallback to Facebook not using it that way as the default response. In my opinion most of the Great Javascript Fatigue of 2015-16 was caused by users trying to fill in the blanks left by the React team and producing one solution after another (and quickly abandoning ship as something iteratively better was released).

Every "permaban" like this is an opportunity to get a famous person on a distributed Twitter competitor like GNU Social (especially if the ban actually lasts). If you work on one you may want to contact him. People whose presence is objectionable to Twitter are the natural early adopters for distributed social networks.
I don't think they would have any regulatory challenge. Remember comcast invested in Vox media earlier?

Not sure how will the net neutrality be affected with this acquisition, but this is mostly done to build a huge media/entertainment(Yahoo! + AOL) business which will be complementary to Verizon's current offerings.
As cute as this is, it's missing the core issue - a phone lacks real OS and real software. It does not, usually, come with anything on it that is available on the regular desktop/laptop.

This would take severe hacking to work around.

Either (1) a software ecosystem should get evolved around the ARM/Android-like platform (that is, the project is a bit too early), or (2) there should be a virtual machine that is rather lightweight and transparent under Android to allow the PC software to run.

Seeing that this is ARM, i don't expect the (2) to be a real option. (1) might work if you constrain yourself to open-source Linux environment and is good at coding/admin, but as soon as your work would need anything proprietary or anything from Windows things would collapse.

TL;DR: The mobile and PC tech is converging, but we are not there yet.
I recommend looking into the Kubernetes design to understand how different its design is.

A good example is volume management. With Kubernetes, you can tell a pod to use an AWS EBS volume; when the pod needs the volume, Kubernetes will automagically mount it, and handle the statement management for you.

If you define what's called a persistent volume, your pod can declare that it needs, say, 1GB, and Kubernetes will automatically allocate 1GB from the volume; you can have lots of pods working off this shared volume, and Kubernetes will know which pods have "claimed" which parts of the volume.

Another good example is config and secrets. In Kubernetes, you declaratively create configuration objects ("configmaps") and secrets. If a pod needs, say, access to an external API, you can store the keys in a secret and declaratively give the pod access to the secret, which will be mounted into a folder (or, alternatively, assigned to an environment variable, though that's not as secure).

Yet another example is service management. You can tag a service (which is another type declaration that says "port X on some unique cluster IP should be routed to every pod tagged with these labels") as load-balanced, and if you're running in a cloud environment (AWS, GCE, etc.), K8s can automatically create an external load balancer for you that exposes the service publicly.

Kubernetes is best described as a sophisticated state machine that takes declarative objects ("manifests") that describe your world — i.e. which containers should be running, which services should be exposed, etc. — and then attempts to continuously reconcile reality with that declaration, managing all sorts of state in the process.

Perhaps most important is the ability to abstract resources from pods. A pod just declares the image to run and the resources — volumes, configs, secrets, CPU/memory constraints, etc. — to make available to it. K8s's state machinery takes care of the rest.

As far as I know, Docker Swarm has none of this, and you'd have to build these things (e.g. REXRay for volumes) on top of Swarm yourself.
There are financial benefits to being able to very easily overcommit resources (although Lambda is just one way to do that).
Well, since the 1080 Founder's Edition can only run Crysis 3 at ~35fps, I doubt it, considering the Titan X is supposed to be roughly ~25% faster for gaming applications:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/10325/the-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1...

But it will certainly be closer; my guess is that we're still another iteration out from running Crysis 3 at 60fps at 4k.

If you're talking about the original Crysis, I suppose that's possible -- I don't have any benchmarks handy though.

Is there a common place on the internet for such discussions? A site where people can share ideas and find people to work together.
Exactly. If you want to see who's sharing a file you just join the swarm and look at the IPs in your torrent client. There's absolutely zero benefit to running a torrent honeypot. This is all civil copyright infringement anyway.

>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

The issue is not remote working, the very thing you wrote is the issue.

Virtually every time, remote working doesn't create new issues but reveals and - embarassingly - exposes existing ones.

You can no longer take a chance by letting things such as hallway affairs become a norm and an invisible force. You need to plan everything(and know what to plan), track everything relevant (and know what's relevant), be in control of the conditions for career and team progression (and therefore know precisely what these conditions are), you need to know your stuff. You can no longer just wait for magic to happen, put people in rooms and cross your fingers. Or send them to restaurant and expect team communication to have improved to the benefit of your KPIs.

The truth is 60-80% of today's companies are terribly run. Management of these companies is playing games without realizing it.

Remote working simply requires real management for it. Real managers quickly love it as remote working basically is : output-as-a-service : no noise, just efficiency and result. But the manager more tham ever needs to know what he is doing, because remote working accelerate the consequences of managerial weaknesses. What would have tanked a company in 5 years can tank it in 5 weeks.

But the positive is that once a remote setup has been successfully established, there is an organization insanely streamlined, efficient and competitive.
Instant polarization and the fallacy of the excluded middle are probably a huge part of why politics are shunned on HN.

Maybe, but you're assuming that the specific young people who are currently strongly pro-EU wouldn't change their minds as they got older.

I used to be strongly pro-EU (and still love the idea of it in many ways); it's only in the last decade that my opinion's shifted.

The previous understanding of these organisms was fundamentally wrong (although partially right). I think it's very odd to be sawing on this idea that 'overturning' a scientific theory requires a complete negation of it.

(If your argument is that "overturning" should never be used to describe a scientific breakthrough you may have a point, albeit a rather uninteresting one.)
That's interesting - it's the first time I read about a 10x cost improvement.

Would you mind sharing a bit more details?

The language barrier thin is very real. I'm not a native English speaker and have very hard time understanding people with heavier accents. It's especially bad over phone/web conference.

Also it's really amazing how crappy many companies' web conferencing setup is. They break down regularly, have poor sound quality and are generally really flaky. I know this is getting better with Hangouts and alike, but still, they are occasionally going to crap out and always, it seems, at the most inopportune time.
I would say less than $20/hr, preferably less than $10, but I'll consider all options.
As someone with no stake in US politics (so no 'side of the aisle') both candidates are bad. Trump however is another level of bad. An openly sexist, potentially racist man with no political experience, running for the highest political office in your country is lunacy.
"See how your centralization point was pushing your ideology instead of apparent claim that Slack was only good due to centralization?"

No. I don't have an ideology here. Just facts I'm sharing.

"They didn't care because they were elitist."

Do you have proof of that so called elitism? Maybe they didn't want to get into a holy-war. Maybe they didn't want to break a 30 year old protocol.

I think, they didn't care because they just simply didn't care. Don't confuse elitism for general apathy.

Also, have you looked at Mattermost?

I think one of the best things I've done to date is actually distance myself from the React community. While I love some of the tooling that has come out of it (Redux, React-Router) I think the community (as an amorphous entity) over-emphasizes the need/desire for transpiling, linting, testing, etc.

Since then, I've "reverted" to building things in ES5, working in multiple files without bundling, etc. and I have to say the enjoyment I get out of using React has cranked up considerably.

I am happy to see they are converging on some standards - that will definitely make building new apps much easier from a common starting point. I just hope they can walk the fine line between "opinionated" and "bloated".

How is Opus decoding performance coming along compared to Vorbis? I'd love to use Opus in my mobile games (which need more simultaneous channels than the phone's one hardware decoder). But, decode perf is a serious concern. Even decoding once on load is serious business because it affects start-up time and/or frame rate hitching.
Do you ever wonder if your own experiences and preferences inform the decisions you make about others? (That sounds confrontative, but I don't mean it to be so.)

For example, there's a difference between, "I struggle when I am not in the ad-hoc conversations" and "Everyone will have the same experience."

It was put in front of the citizenship in the first place as a ploy by Cameron to quell discontent from Eurosceptic MPs in his own party. There's some suspicion that he didn't expect to ever have to do it, since the Tories were predicted not to achieve a majority. He certainly didn't expect Leave to actually win.
Both major parties denounce the other's candidates as "the most extreme ever" like clockwork.

Once that seed has been planted, confirmation bias does the rest.
In 1668 Francesco Redi disproved the theory that flies spontaneously generated from rotting meat, a theory originally proposed by Aristotle. Since that time, popular science has just shifted that theory farther and farther away from the common era. When carefully and objectively observed, rotting meat does not emit maggots, but since nobody around to observe meat, matter, molecules or atoms billions of years ago... we can just squint at the farthest reaches of the timeline and infer from the fuzziness that life must have spontaneously generated...right?
God is very scary and mean when he is misunderstood, we can agree on that.

> residents of a country will always oppose immigrant groups

This is pile of nonsense. The elected representatives from the Democratic Party don't show hate towards immigrants and have generally fought their betterment, and the Democratic Party won the popular vote in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2008, and 2012. That's five out the last six elections.

There was a huge amount of European immigration in the 1800s , and the early 1900s. Just as there was anti-Irish sentiment, I'm sure there were people back then who believed deeply in the Lump of Labor Fallacy[1], but their will was never put into effect as law.

If people freaking out about jobs had put the same limits we have on immigration today back in 1800, the U.S. population would likely be the same as Canada's, and our total GDP less than one-tenth of what it is today. We probably also wouldn't have had the economic might to win World War I and World War II, or the Cold War (e.g. Marshall Plan[2]).

Instead it was white-on-white racism, and the Nordic/Aryan supremacy[3] theories of Madison Grant[4] that actually led to the first major immigration restriction legislation in the U.S., the Emergency Quota Act[5] and the Immigration Act of 1924[6], which limited immigration to people from North-Western Europe, as a majority of the Congressmen back then believed that Southern and Eastern Europeans were a lower, less worthy breed of people.

At least you have found an opportunity for your political agitation.
I'd like to know how many people here who refuse to hire remotely are willing and can provide a proper working environment to their engineers: ie-> single, private offices, 4k monitors, adjustable desks chairs, etc. Or are these people forcing people to work onsite in substandard conditions simply so that there can be "spontaneous" conversations, aka pointless distractions like I read in most of the comments?
Velcro strips that you cut to size are cheap and surprisingly useful as a way of anchoring your phone on e. g. your dashboard.
None of them are particularly interesting, though. So far I'm pretty surprised with how pedestrian it is.

Even looking for the word "fuck" reveals few internal communications which use it. In one thread, some guy seems to have gotten a sub-optimal time slot for putting out Democratic-leaning news on CNN, since it's at 6AM rather than closer to near 8:20AM when, it turns out, Obama was going to deliver some statement. They asked him if he thought it was possible to move the thing forward a couple hours, and suggested that if he couldn't then they might have to withhold the news completely for a later time. And he replied with a bit of lip about how crummy that is: "They structured their whole show on that we’ll make news in the 6am hour. We told them a time. They took care of us. Now they’re all asleep. Are we really going to screw them over on our mistake???" and he follows it up with a couple more replies which are similarly irreverent but not outright bad, making a valid case (which the higher-ups seem to eventually agree with) that alienating someone who's doing you a favor is a really bad idea and they should just bite whatever bullet they're biting with the worse time-slot. They basically tell him, "You're right, we'll listen to you, but fuck off with the attitude." And that's the scope of the thing. Relatively minor.

In another one, someone admitting that they're writing for FoxNews.com invites comments from them about some hit piece he's thinking about writing on the subject of Hillary Clinton maybe protecting Bill and trying to silence his accusers during his sex scandals... an internal email discussing this "opportunity" (to, presumably, have whatever their words might be, twisted) one emails to the other people in his office, "Is there a Fuck You emoji?". After some laughs they decide not to respond at all; but the guy is persistent, so the person who handles the forward says, "The asshole from fox emailed us again. I did some research and there’s still no “fuck you” emoji, unfortunately."

It's pretty tame stuff so far in my browsing. Relatively professional.
The in-development version of pfsense allows installs to ZFS, and I've installed onto a 2c atom with 2GB ram and a small SSD.

Who says it would use up your data usage? Of course this would require the network operator to allow it but it isn't anywhere near impossible to do without the user knowing.
This is not a generator. It is a dependency, which means that we can (and intend to!) update the underlying tools without any work on your part.

Additionally, unlike a generator, it doesn’t expose you to any configs so you can focus on your code. However you can “eject” if you really want to.

Okay: So how would you advise someone to create that "real management for it"? Any references or suggestions you would recommend a well-meaning manager to gain the wisdom and skills necessary? (Because I also will be writing, separately, about how to do remote work well, and this is exactly the kind of info I want to impart.)
There is such a thing as truth, and while we can't have a perfect method of arriving at it, we have methods better than polls.

People legislate taste, they ignore big problems because "we've always done it like that", etc. This is plain to see. Nobody benefits when a state fails to live up to its purpose, provides both insufficient freedoms with insufficient controls.

Sure, an unfeeling despotic utilitarian robot would be an immoral form of government -- we have to take into account anthropic value systems (which will not converge, and require consensus-making in some form) -- but to accept there's no one true system of mores doesn't require assuming there's no single truth.
