British punishment descriptions are quite literal.

Being hung, drawn, and quartered meant literally "Convicts were fastened to a hurdle, or wooden panel, and drawn by horse to the place of execution, where they were hanged (almost to the point of death), emasculated, disembowelled, beheaded and quartered (chopped into four pieces)."

> > Cyclists need to learn red lights apply to them to.

> As do motorists. Cars go through red lights all the time

I'd suggest an experiment: find a central location in a city, and sit down next to a traffic light. Ideally during a commuter period.

Watch for an hour, recording the number of cyclists who jump a red light, and the number of motorised vehicles which jump a red light.

Which would you expect to have the most? Would you expect one to significantly outnumber the other, and by what proportion?

As a near-fanatic NixOS user (now!), I agree with both you and GP. The learning curve is brutal, so it took me a while to get started, but it's paid off several times over.

It's unfortunate that humans can't trust each other enough that saying "You'll like it after a few months" is good enough, but it's also an inevitable fact of life; for starters, the speaker might be mistaken. I don't think NixOS is for everyone, at least not yet.

And it's hard enough to run arbitrary software that, yes, you do need to learn the Nix language. In most cases it's as easy or easier to package the application for NixOS than it is to run it without packaging, which on the one hand is a benefit to the Nix ecosystem, but on the other hand can be a little annoying. There are workarounds...

But the workarounds require some unusual understanding to begin with.

I think one of NixOS' major flaws at the moment is documentation. There's the wiki, but it's both somewhat outdated and very much not comprehensive. As for Nix, it's been best explained in a series of blog posts, and as good as the Nix Pills series is, you have to find it before you can read it. It's also somewhat short on HOWTOs.

Most people don't like to spend hours writing documentation, though.

The existence of NixOS, and work done on it, is a massive positive externality. Even if it doesn't catch on, it's going to inspire half a dozen clones in the next decade or two. Unfortunately I don't see a good way to get more effort put into it, especially the boring bits (such as documentation)...

I suppose this comment is my way of trying to change that.
I think speed would be the problem, getting 100 x 5mb packages would incur a lot of per file overhead.
My company has quite a good policy:

- 29 days a year (fairly standard in the uk, legally required to have at least 28)
- No formal approval needed. (Check with your team etc)
- Can buy up to 12 days extra a year IIRC for the cost of a days salary.

The no formal approval is especially nice, I take a long weekend short notice a couple of times a year during busy periods (busy in my life not work that is) and it's fine 95% of the time, and when it's not it always for good reason.

Being able to buy extra holiday is good too. There's salary sacrifice to do so so it's considered fair to everyone.
All information you have as a player is misinformation, as demonstrated. As a result, the single factor that makes you "win" is whether the other players stop playing, letting the timer hit its limit. There are two reasons for them to do so: exhaustion or cost. Some players may have stolen cards or plan on denying the payment, making cost potentially limitless. Some players newly join and some are bots, making exhaustion a non-issue. As a result, the game is completely random.

The only winning move is to be the house.

There is one small vulnerability in the website they tested, which is that when the system senses player exhaustion, it sinks the price to attract new players. It happens twice at the end of the graph. When the price is on a downward slope going past a certain point, it probably means that few players intend to pursue.
> Would the gains of having enormous shared dictionaries cancel out the advantage of that approach, only in a much more "wasteful" way?

It does. The extreme of it is storing all information inside pi, as is done here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6698852. In the end the dictionary is so big that the indexes themselves start to be too big.

If you really had infinite space and immediate access to all digits, there actually could be some way to make it work, though.
This looks interesting. I couldn't figure out how to play it though. It would be good if you turned this into something like a course on "How to build a simple Role Playing Game with HTML5". It might take some time to put together, but you'll probably be able to monetize that better.
There's even vague equivalence between statistics and lossy compression.
Enterprise Cloud for Service Providers: Data Protection and DR as a Service
Pretty much yes. Wake me up when some company announces you have 25 mandatory days off a year + unlimited extra days. Then we start to talk.

Also please post your experience on Glassdoor.
Yes they are scams.

Next time they offer you "unlimited" vacation say that's very generous of them but you don't need unlimited vacation days you know exactly how many vacation days you need and that's 28 days.

If they don't reject it straight up they might try to haggle over that which proves the point.
HPC space isn't that large but the related space of Big Data Analytics (incorporating Machine/Deep Learning) is massive. Every enterprise has a program in place to drive value from their data. And many are running programs in house due to privacy/security concerns i.e. they are purchasing lots of hardware.

Hadoop/Spark/Storm etc. which rely on spinning up lots of JVMs could work nicely on this ARM platform especially given that most jobs involving iterating on rows of data which the JVM will automatically leverage vector extensions to speed up.
Yes a scam. We should have minimum vacation days not maximum or unlimited.
Because that's fundamental to Nix. We're giving up on some current habits to get the freedom we want.

This won't ever change, but people might.

I'm not blaming them, I feel their pain.

This is common in technology all around, think about driving a car for 25 years with manual transmission and then trying automatic transmission.

Well, some things don't change. Back then we had a ton of misinformation on poorly done personal home pages and fan sites, now have a ton of misinformation in poorly done news articles and social media posts.

Always fun to look and see which of the 226 different ways to get Mew a Pokemon site would post, or which of the equally large number of ways to get the Triforce in Ocarina of Time you'd see on a Zelda site.

Topsites were another big thing there too. Bit like webrings, except clicking on the button would vote the site you're on up the rankings and make it more likely to appear on others. These fell apart about as quickly as webrings did, especially when people gamed the hell out of them.

There was also:

Awkward Javascript animated objects moving around with the mouse cursor. Those were pretty big at one point.

The inevitable blink tags, which got so annoying that browsers dropped all support for them.

Jokey 'I agree to proceed to this site' splash pages, where the other link would send you to Google. Or perhaps something like the Barbie website.

Sites hotlinking to images and resources on other sites. Which then made a comeback for a while on Myspace, and still remains a large issue on internet forums. Bonus points if the original webmaster got so annoyed with the bandwidth costs, he replaced the image link with a porn picture instead.

Various awkward ways to try and 'block' right clicking, as if this could 'protect' the content from thieves.

Songs or sound effects playing in the background, which usually gave you quite a shock if you speakers were up and you moved to another site:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM1BJVN8zD0

Various extremely basic HTML tutorials that basically said how to add bold text, italic text, underlined text, images and links.

Javascript used for 'password protection' (in the slightly later days). You can probably guess why this wasn't the best idea in the world.

Oh, and fanlistings. Where you had a big old list of people who liked something (a series, a game, a celebrity, a band, etc), and you could send an email with a name and contact address to be added to it.

It was certainly a different era then, though a surprising amount of stuff common then is actually still around. For example, this site still seems to offer webrings:

http://www.webringworld.org/

And sites like Bravenet still offer everything that was popular in 1996 or so.
Yes, maybe instead of a 5 star system we really need:

* exceeds expectations
* met expectations
* did not meet expectations

And then just ding the folks in the last category.

Because what we have right now is really:

* 5 stars == exceeded or met expectations
* < 5 stars == did not meet expectations

However, it still won't address the issue of mutual rating. What you really need to do there is have the ratings hidden from each other until both have been submitted, and, frankly, not to penalize either side for ratings unless they are consistently negative. The latter is the only way to make them constructive rather than destructive.
> The highway code is a simple guide to the road traffic act, and it contains best current practice, but people are not required to follow the highway code.

True, but failing to follow the highway code can result in legal liability.

From https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/introduction:

"Although failure to comply with the other rules of the Code will not, in itself, cause a person to be prosecuted, The Highway Code may be used in evidence in any court proceedings under the Traffic Acts (see The road user and the law) to establish liability. This includes rules which use advisory wording such as ‘should/should not’ or ‘do/do not’."

Commentary: Evidence Points to Another Snowden at the NSA
Anything like this and and you are on the bad side if your work. I.e. no promotion ever. Best bet is to Glassdoor and leave.
To give some intuition as to why these answers are "obviously" correct; for the 2-person case you have 4 possible results:

(Ava, Bob) -> (B, B), (B, R), (R, B), (R, R)

It's easy to see that there are only two alternatives: they either both have the same suit or they have different suits. Luckily, there are two players, and so they can try both options simultaneously.

The same thing works in the 4-player case. You can try 4 strategies at once, is there any way to somehow reduce the state space to 4 options?

If you give every suit a number from 0-3, then the sum of all the suits is obviously going to be somewhere between 0-3 modulo 4.
If it's unlimited, show up the first day, and then go on vacation. When you no longer get a pay check, you know how "unlimited" it was.

If I am in an aircraft, it runs afoul of various laws in most jurisdictions.

If the beam can cause injury, there's that.

If it's done in a manner meant to annoy, intimidate, or harrass, quite possibly.

See as a general parallel paparrazi laws, in some regions. Being in public doesn't provide you with unlimited capacity to act, particularly as that influences others.
I'm not even talking security, that's a whole other dog and pony show and you're right about that, the fact that there's no kind of oversight in that is insane. We make sure car manufacturers install air bags, and identity theft thanks to the garbage mechanisms in place to handle it is almost certainly as damaging if not moreso to you than having to go through a windshield, especially when you consider that the IoT startups can give away your life savings and then just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ when you ask for their help.

But I agree, there is woefully little information even about what I was talking about which was interoperability, or even just functionality. Pretty much your only recourse is to look into reviews of existing products from a given manufacturer and hope that said review wasn't bought and paid for.

>rules of the road

Whenever I see a bike article, i do a search for 'rules of the road', there always is at least one, and reply to the comment containing the first match.

I bike to work every day, and I don't follow the rules of the road.

And I am sure than anyone doing the same wouldn't follow them for long either. Show me anyone who stops at a stop sign on a bike, that's just false piety.

Following a bunch of rules and expecting everyone to be safe is naive.

The rules of the road which are designed for cars can get you killed on a bike. There is a left hand turn at the end of my commute just before a rise in the road.

If I try to follow the rules of the road there, I will likely get hit head on by a speeding or distracted car.

In that case i ride on the sidewalk. If there are pedestrians I go walking speed. If I have to I just scooter the bike.
Most people are fine with this.

I do follow some rules, though: I am courteous to everyone and I aim to not inconvenience anyone with my riding.
Talks Not About Info
Are you referring to Cartesian dualism?

Have you read Gilbert Ryle's "The Concept of Mind" (1949) [0]?

This is a very old and tired argument. The form you seem to be endorsing has fallen out of favor in philosophy circles. For an intuitive understanding of why interactionist dualism is a bad explanation of phenomenology, consider the following problems:

- How does your non-physical substance (what you call a fundamental force in the universe) interact with a physical "antenna"?

- Given that this force interacts with matter (as evidenced by consciousness disappearing after certain brain injuries), how is it that it evades physical measure by scientific instruments?

Intel is fabbing a lot of things that aren't necessarily their "IP", they like to keep their Fabs busy and running at full capacity even the older ones.
Arguably Intel is still making the best Fabs out there, their process tends to be the best in even when compared to TSMC/GoFo and IBM and they are very good at optimizing their entire fabrication process (the non-lithography side) so their Fabs just tend outperform the competition.

Tho that said Intel doesn't want to morph into a Fab as a service company, they just don't want to leave money on the table if they can't fill their 14nm and 10nm Fabs with their own IP/silicon they build it for some one else. It's even more so important now since Intel's dies are pretty darn big even as it comes to 14/10nm optimizing processes on smaller dies can be quite valuable to them. And considering they are dropping their "Tick Tock" methodology or at least altering it somewhat their Fabs can outrun their product line which is never good.

And how do you get from a homunculus self-model to the subjective experience of the colour blue? (Or any other colour?)

...Which would be a subjective experience that seems to have curiously objective elements to it, because colours have been shown to correlate with specific sensations and associations across populations.

And then there's the much deeper question of the extent to which quantum phenomena need an objective observer.

If you think that question is trivial, try to design an experiment which provides objective evidence of change without ultimately relying on the subjective experience of a human experimenter.

While 28 days is at the high end, almost all developed countries (UK, AU, FR, etc.) require employers to provide 4+ weeks per year paid holiday leave.

Bigger companies will even force you to take it once you've accrued a number of hours, as it can be a liability on the books (as unused holidays roll over indefinitely).

The US is an outlier in this regard.

The Cobra Effect in India’s E-commerce Startups
Yeah I was more talking about the traditional HPC/Supercomputer level of engineering where CPU's still kinda rule, or at at least as important as GPU's.

In the more "smaller" enterprise level HPC market NVIDIA is kinda ruling today, there is almost no point of building a traditional CPU based HPC platform if you are an enterprise (or even a small/medium size education/research institution).

Intel is trying to get into that business with it's Xeon SOC's and Xeon Phi compute hardware but I don't know how much traction they are getting, NVIDIA probably by now pretty much controls all of that market and Intel and AMD are more or less rounding errors.

ARM can really give NVIDIA a fight if they can provide semi-custom ASIC's for HPC you can easily shove 100's of cores into a single server making it potentially comparable to NVIDIA's HPC offerings.

>There was an interesting pilot program to give $50 tickets to people exceeding the speed limit by 30mph in school zones. Tons of opposition.

At least here in Ohio, speeding in a school zone during restricted hours results in doubling the fine and mandatory court.

Also, at 30 mph over the speed limit, the officer can charge you with reckless operation which is a large fine and requires remedial driving lessons.
Similarly, I once also looked into such a site, collecting data from on-going auctions. While the interface showed very little information about the bidders, the underlying JSON data carrying the real-time bids had addition fields such as user ID.
I remember that while my user ID, along with other players that seemed human (i.e few and far between bids) had user ids that were 2000+, there were several users, that bid thousands of times, sometimes for 16 hours straight (there was no auto-bid option), all of which had a user ID of 1000-1010...
Dollar is the base name. Cent (idollar) is 1/100th of a dollar. Mill (idollar) is 1/1000th of a dollar. Values larger than a dollar are denominated by common name, e.g., 5 dollars, 10 dollars; the set of denominated bills is (usually): 5, 10, 20, 50, 100.

On top of this system is overlaid a decimalized imperial notation, the octal Spanish system, and a materials system. Thus penny=cent; nickel was used for five cent pieces; a dime is 1/10th a dollar; quarter is 25 cents (two bits; a bit is a dime and five ha'pennies), etc.

The problem is that the US was one of the first countries to "decimalize" (including defining the actual measures, which were not defined previously) in the 18th c., and chose to reuse the old names.

As to our measures: weights and areas are base-4 (which made manufacture of the standards easier); length is based on easily divisible numbers for common lengths; official measure is done decimalized (thus the notorious "decimal inch"). The foot is based on the second, which was fundamentally superior to the meter which was based on the earth's geodesy for practical matters, etc.
I found another site with a "more substantial" list of these strategies and noticed a few "similarities" [0] (e.g. Google " The saliency of the payment (e.g., we feel more pain if we see money leaving our hands)" and look for results.)

>I think you're mistaking someone who's happy but ignorant of their mediocrity, and someone who's aware of their own mediocrity

Not really, I don't think people are unaware of their mediocrity, it's just that it doesn't bother them.

For instance I'm not unaware that I am mediocre at the 100m sprint, it's just that it has never occurred to me to be in the least bit bothered by this fact. There's plenty of people out there who are mediocre at sprinting as well as everything else, and are not bothered by their mediocrity along any of these axes.
