Agreed that he said that in his 1965 paper; research indicates he was asked what would happen in the semiconductor industry (which I see as "the hardware side." He was Director of R&D at Fairchild at the time).
Per several areas I have read, it was after Mr. Moore reviewed his thoughts in 1975 that David House made reference to an 18-month doubling of performance of circuits. This leads to my question about proxy regarding what the thoughts were (or weren't) 10+ years earlier.
Was there any awareness, in 1965, of a difference between transistor count and operating performance, or did this awareness come about later on as industries matured? I tend to think that without any history to define a difference, they would have been viewed as one and the same in 1965. I theorize that at that time Mr. Moore - as a young, 35-36 year old, Director of semiconductor R&D and quite intelligent, undoubtedly - focused on the question as solely about circuits, and not necessarily taking a wider view in his article about overall performance (however performance would have been defined at the time, if it was considered as anything different from transistor size/count/density) when he was asked to write an article about future projections in the semiconductor industry.

There are so many IMO's floating around when it comes to foundations of QM. I think that is fascinating in and of itself.

My IMO definitely does not coincide with your IMO :-)
It definitely is open source insofar as it being a public repository that accepts contributions. However, the disclaimer at the top of the repo does seem to suggest that free offerings might be scooped up and put to other uses... I can see where the degree of "open sourceness" might be questioned in a case like this. I will re-iterate that I am willing to accept that there might be other politics at play here.
>A published, documented API comes with instructions on how the API

Agree and since it was undocumented there more than likely were no terms as to how it should be used.
What I find interesting (perhaps confusing is the better word for me) is that the other article from a few days ago that proclaimed drinking leads to cancer didn't mention that the moderate drinkers have fewer risk factors than the control group of abstainers. (The OP article does indicate the result, however.)

So what is it? Is moderate drinking helping? Or is it the lifestyle of moderation helping?

From the National Cancer Institute: "Can drinking red wine help prevent cancer? Researchers conducting studies using purified proteins, human cells, and laboratory animals have found that certain substances in red wine, such as resveratrol, have anticancer properties (16)."[0]

Meanwhile, the same National Cancer Institute source writes that "[b]ased on extensive reviews of research studies, there is a strong scientific consensus of an association between alcohol drinking and several types of cancer (1, 2)."[0]

Drinking causes cancer but red wine is known to have anticancer properties? Abstainers in one study have higher risk factors than moderate drinkers?

Detroit is mostly metric. Many US-built cars use all metric fasteners. For export, you have to use metric fasteners, because few outside the US have inch-sized tools. Imported cars are, of course, all metric. Aviation is mostly metric for the same reason. DoD is metric to be compatible with NATO.

Housing, however, hasn't converted at all. Building dimensions, HVAC and plumbing in the US are still on inch units.

So let me ask you a simple question, how much time do I have to give the initial estimate and how long do I get to increase confidence? Is it in the order or days, weeks, or months? I ask because a 25% confidence level on 4-8 weeks would most likely require some time to increase the confidence, more than you would be permitted.

I agree with what you're saying and that's all great and awesome but in the real world it unfortunately doesn't work that way. In most cases you have a day to a week to come up with an estimate for a year long project. If you by great luck get a cognate to do a spike, you get maybe an extra day. Ok most cases actually you would've maybe gotten an hour to a day at best and there would be no spike, and if you did get a spike it would be maybe an hour. Again I agree with what you're saying but it just doesn't work this way for the vast majority of companies.

Also is this real time or actual time? In other words does it include time for meetings, holidays, sick days, change in staff, etc.
That's an interesting idea. I was running a dev shop few years ago and this would've been useful.

Category theory is very useful for certain branches of pure mathematics (and it instils a very useful mindset in the mathematician), but much less so for applied mathematics.

Also you're quite right that category theory only really starts to make sense when you have a big stock of examples, like "group theory" and "poset theory" and "topology" and "set theory". Once you've got those examples, you can detect these common threads between them and call them "category theory".
Actually, no, you're 100% wrong -- dangerously wrong.

Failure to follow the law has consequences. My point is that, simply. "Getting a benefit that is legally required to be paid for AND NOT PAYING" is stealing.

Staying out of trouble is a SURVIVAL STRATEGY.

A lot of people out there have very poor survival inclinations. Making bad decisions can really hurt you.

While stealing from the author of copyrighted works may not land you in prison -- by so passionately arguing in favor of stealing from the authors means you only respect the law when it suits you.

In my experience (running engineering teams, startups, rental properties, military experience) -- a sign from anyone that they play 'loosey-goosey' with the rules/law etc. is a WARNING. I've noticed, as have most parents, managers, etc. that when a person violates the law in one area -- "makes a bad decision" -- they for whatever reason cannot seem to restrict that poor decision making to only 1 area of their behavior.

I'm not a psychologist, so I'm not sure why, for example, when a person rationalizes stealing copyrighted material -- "gets the benefit of another person's effort that they were required to pay for and DID NOT PAY" -- I'm not sure why they seem to 'rationalize' a lot of other bad decisions. Maybe there's research in psychology that studies this, not sure. Would not be surprised. Maybe in criminal justice psychology.

But ask any parent with a troubled kid; or a cop who has 'regulars'; or a judge who has 'regulars'; or a long-time tech manager; or any other person who over time was exposed to a broad spectrum of people and behavior.

If you folks are rationalizing away stealing an artist's works, you would lie about doing that in a job interview.

Why? Because it's wrong to get the benefit of copyrighted material without paying.

Richard Stallman rebelled against 'closed IP' and look at the positive results.

So go out there and channel that rebellion. DON'T STEAL THOUGH.

If I'm interviewing you and I ask you "ever seeded a torrent cloud?" and you say 'No' and that is a lie -- YOU JUST LIED TO A TOTAL STRANGER. One 'bad decision' -- stealing copyrighted works -- led to another -- lying in a professional setting.

Where does that bad decision-making stop? HARD TO KNOW.

But having suffered the consequences of 'letting it slide', and since 1993 some of those consequences were quite painful -- if I catch someone exposing me to possible risk by their conscious volition -- I KNOW I'VE BEEN WARNED.

Once you get older, you'll either (1) take a Richard Stallman approach, or (2) realize the benefit of stealing from people is outweighed by the negative effects (lying to a hiring manager for example).

If you solemnly believe "there are no consequences to stealing from people" I'm here to tell you, you are dead wrong.
I agree that streaming and timeseries queries/scans are two different approaches which can solve the problem in the same way. With instant vectors of Prometheus queries you can operate very similar to windows and if you do the right queries and take care that it works in-memory you also should get similar performance and throughput.

My point was more about the framework you get and how easy it is to apply analytics to streams/queries. SignalFx seems to have a nice workbench for this with direct visual feedback in the UI, so that you can work on existing data to get the right result.

As said we at Instana think that most people will not be able to build a sophisticated monitoring solution with these types of frameworks as they don't have the time to do it and maybe even not the analytical domain knowledge. You can see that SignalFx is adding specific knowledge for some technologies. I give you two simple examples to show that it is not easy:

- How would you predict if a file system is running out of disk space?

- How would you predict if you should add a node to a Cassandra cluster because it is running out of capacity (and it can take some serious time to add a node, so you should know in advance)?

Already the disk space problem is hard to solve - linear regression and basic algorithms will not work.

Now think of hundreds (or thousands) of services running on a dynamic container platform and new services released on a daily or even minute basis - with lots of different technologies involved...

No question that you can build a good monitoring solution with Prometheus, SignalFX, DataDog etc - but it will take a serious amount of time, consulting and dev teams involved adding the right instrumentation, metrics etc. And you need a lot of analytical knowledge. I can even imagine that there are situation were tools like Prometheus are a better choice - especially if you have a very strict set of technologies and communication framework and really good people to do a very specific set of "rules" for this environment.

We've added a domain model to our product (all the mentioned product have a generic metric model, but no semantics that describe servers, containers, processes, services and their communication which is the domain of system and application monitoring): Our Dynamic Graph.

And yes, we are using something very similar to Zipkin to get the dependencies between services. Here a are two blog entries describing the approach:

Rejecting the Fork, Ethereum Classic Continues on the Original Chain: Here's Why
It all depends on how complex your layout is.

I think the arguments that "well, games redraw the HUD every frame and it's fine, so why is recreating the UI every frame a problem?" are misunderstanding the problem. HUDs usually don't have much layout to do: in CSS terms, everything is absolutely positioned. Designers usually create HUDs visually using Flash or similar, so the layout ends up being trivial since, in effect, a human has already manually calculated the positions of every widget. For a programmatically-created GUI, though, there is actually layout to perform, usually via a flexbox-like model but sometimes via a constraint solving system (which makes the time complexity go way up). For this to be efficient you need a way to cache the results of layout so that you only recompute them from frame to frame when needed. This caching is precisely what a retained mode UI is.

For those who think that layout is always fast enough to never be a performance problem, try writing a flexbox UI in your browser, then open the dev tools, resize the window (which will trigger a full relayout if you don't have any explicit widths in there) and see how long the layout takes. It often eats up the time budgets of multiple frames (and this is not just browsers being slow--the complexity is inherent).

This is not to say IMGUI is bad, mind you! It's a great solution for debug overlays, which is what it was originally designed for, because of how simple it is. Just don't overstate its benefits: retained mode UIs exist for a reason.

There's nothing built-in on Windows, just a wide variety of post-install options (possibly in the old SFU Unix subsystem, certainly in the new Ubuntu-based piece, and of course a wide variety of third-party implementations including both native apps and Cygwin).

This is a bit of creeping featuritis, but since Notepad++ is a good drop-in replacement/full featured text editor even for non-developers on Windows this could be considered targeting users who would never actually go looking for a 'tail -f' implementation.

I'm living in the EU which is run by liberals/lefts and I can clearly see that they are pushing hard against the peoples will to allow millions of Muslims to resettle here. (And Obama/Hillary never fail to support this policy)

I did not say that these liberals endorse terrorism, I just say that they are doing it against the will of the people and that there are a lot of legitimate concerns that we have (terrorism, violence, sexual harassment) which are being ignored or often shut down by creating an atmosphere where everyone who disagrees has to fear being labeled a racist or Nazi.

These people don't even know what Nazis were. Nazis themselves were Socialists! Their party name was "Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei" - in English: "Nationalist Socialist German Workers Party"

OTR doesn't work in asynchronous environments, which makes it infeasible to deploy on mobile devices. I think that's a pretty severe limitation in today's world.

Say what's honest, and imagine that Californian ideologues [1] are no different from the "religious." [2] Then the downvotes are perfectly expected and normal. It's boo-ing.

Anyone who wants to verify this (and isn't close friends with executives) should speak with salespeople, maybe lead devs... rank-and-file devs tend to be poor sources since they're often like mushrooms, left in the dark. Even salespeople in fairly scrupulous companies often discuss the systematic lies. (Lies which should conform to some rules in order not bite the company in the ass later.)

Software isn't construction it's design.

If you start treating estimates for software as estimates for design work your life will suck less.

One thousand paces in a mile, where each pace is two steps.

Exactly, and this should be fixed individually per project. If this is open-sourced project, you can contribute to the docs. If not — well, if not protected by some license, there will be side-projects with documentation, or you can make your own. But there should never be competition between actual documentation and some fucking for-profit organization, exactly for this reason: the documentation often is bad, and this can, and should be fixed.
