IIRC current HVDC transmission technology reaches about 1% loss per 1000 km, so in that sense continent-wide grids are feasible without superconductors or some other "future" technology.
Ok then I think we're agreeing but using different bits of the same point. In Excel there is no culture of good data validation. My experience working as a developer in Python gave me that culture. Agreed.

In GGGP's case they almost certainly have no tests so I stand by the recommendation that they fight hard to get a validation system in place. Probably by moving to Python and/or a RDBMS.
In Germany is even worse, they expect you to tell them how much you want, thus making it yet another selection bullet.

There is an open source compiler which can compile the hardware description subset of system verilog to c++ called verilator:

http://www.veripool.org/wiki/verilator

It was originally developed to verify processor designs at DEC (Alpha etc.).

Unfortunately all the other features of system verilog are onl y implemented in commercial tools. I believe the Xilinx Vivado tools support most of it, the others are not really affordable if you are not at an academic institution (Modelsim/the Synopsis tools).

Summarising the submissions about HD 164595
There have been a number of these submissions, so here's a summary.
Let me quote Einstein: "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but NOT simpler!"

And that's IMHO exactly where the original author erred. But i find his musings so incredibly funny and enlightening, that i will use them as a future reference of how NOT to do an analysis.

He didn't just do an apple vs oranges comparison, but he essentially threw eggs, potatoes and ham in the mix and tried to deduce an universal law from his concoction by sprinkling some quantum mechanics fairy dust into the mix! Hilarious!

Just by simply looking at his sloppy graph (Typical origin-shenanigans are often a dead give away for the quality of an examination.) one should be able to recognize the form of an underlying step function, as expected from a multi-layered memory system (L1,L2,L3,RAM, ...) .

But NO, he envisions a Square-Root function, just by arbitrarly placing a line in a logarithmic coordinate system. WTF?! Where is the fitting? And how does he defend his conclusion? drum-roll QUANTUM MECHANICS .... Muhahahaha! Great show!

So essentially it's not cost that prohibits our brave engineers of increasing L1 cache size ad infinitum, but because of quantum mechanics! Muhahahaha! Stop it, my stomach hurts.....
Let me put the simple point like this:

Every country do something wrong.

To go from "no country is perfect" to "all countries are equally bad" is Putin's propaganda position -- and the whole democratic world disagrees with your and Putin on this.

Can you point out a country where a private student-loan sector is working well?

One thing the government does that the private sector won't is prioritise the needs of society over financial results. Say, for instance, that "teachers" and "nurses" were underperforming groups of student-loan takers. Private sector would say "OK, stricter controls on student-loans for those!" Meanwhile the government would say "OK, but we really need more teachers and nurses in society, so we'll keep giving them student loans like today." This is of course a fictional example, but you get the point.
No, US citizens can enter Poland (or more correctly the Schengen area), and stay there for 90 days in any 180 day period. This does not give you the right to work there.

It's not very fast at all if forced to follow roads. It's a big deal if you can fly in a near straight line.

And while, yes, you can drive fast on the autobahn and similar, most of us don't live right next to a freeway and go to/from places directly on a freeway, so the average speed will tend to be far lower.

To take some extreme examples: average traffic speeds in London are below 20mph, with certain congested parts well below that.

We will never get to 125mph+ everywhere on the ground, because car drivers is not the limiting factor, but other factors such as pedestrian safety in residential areas etc.
Third Reich PC was one of those games that was years late (due to rewrites and so forth, came out almost half a decade after Advanced Third Reich and years after several competing PC games, and seemed archaic when it was released) and had an annoying UI, but it worked. And considering the complexity level of that game, it's really amazing that anyone could create a working PC version.
B-epsilon trees are a modification of B-trees that support much higher write throughput. It is done by adding a buffer to each node in the tree so that you don't need to travel all the way down the tree every time. When a buffer is full all its contents are pushed down to the next level in one batch. It would be interesting to see how well they stack up against LSM's write throughput.
That is a great observation. If I look in the mirror every morning and smile at myself, I should feel better on two counts. 1) I'm similing 2) I see someone similing. I will try this out in the morning.
That is an old distinction that applies to writing as well:

* Creative day: work on big things, write a new chapter.

* Non-creative day: fix little bugs and papercuts, do spell-checking, generally improve or finish previous work.
ITER – The World's Largest Puzzle
TouchZ is a bug tracking tool for iOS
Free open source iOS library facilitating mobile application testing

The library TouchZ was released on August 15 and its main aim is to help testers and software application developers to simplify the process of mobile app testing.
This bug tracking library is developed by Scand Ltd. to be integrated into an iOS project and is ready to use. If the app is active and being tested, it evokes screenshots being taken automatically. This feature is activated by any activity on the sensor screen of the gadget. Thus, TouchZ developers prevented screenshots being taken non-stop.
It’s easy to get access to the archive or TouchZ settings. Simply draw Z on the screen.
Any time during the app testing period it is possible to organize and send all or some of the screenshots to the developers of the tested app. It is possible through:
•	email;
•	cloud;
•	sharing or export the archive with the shots to other programs. Pick the needed shots up and press ‘Share’.
The two really strong sides of this mobile library are at the same time the main features of the project:
-	Screenshots have additional information on the date when they were taken.
-	Screenshots show your tap activity. There is an arrow showing the gesture performed in the picture.

To integrate this iOS library into your project:

1. Add line ‘pod ’TouchZ’ to Podfile in your project.
2. Run ‘pod install’ from Terminal.
3. Replace principalClassName argument (nil by default) with @‘TZApplication’ in main.m file of the project.
This library is provided "AS IS" under the terms of the GPL. It requires iOS 8.0 or higher.

Feel free to share your comments or ideas with us by dropping a line to touchz@scand.com

It's really exciting to see how this develops going forward. This whole landing rockets thing was deemed not possible (or worth it) only some years ago, and now SpaceX is landing rockets left and right. The next step is to re-fly them - which is still deemed not worth it by most. Let's see if there is a pattern.
Hmm...let's hope that this open-source tool becomes a better alternative to other proprietary softwares.
Would be amazing for the academic community.

Thanks for the references though!
PV Calls: a new paravirtualized protocol for Posix syscalls
My rule of thumb for writing things like job descriptions is that it doesn't mean anything unless someone else might write the opposite.

So "Software Engineers who want to write great code" is meaningless, as is "committed to building the best products".

But I disagree with some of his other examples:

> solve problems from beginning to end: everything from product conceptualizations to engineering implementations.

This tends to put me off a bit. Just like "full-stack developer". I agree everyone should be able to do beginning to end when needed, but I much prefer to be able to specialize. And I really don't want to be involved with "product conceptualizations".

> solve the toughest problems fast--the first time

This is also a bit off-putting. It suggests that they aren't very tolerant of failure. I may just be a bad developer, but I generally assume the first solution we build won't be the correct one.

I find the thought that Moller managed to get his flying cars positive mentions even in Soviet technical journals quite hilarious.
I'd very much like to hear about using NixOS to provision kubernetes or mesos too.
Counter intuitively is very hard to design a small VTOL that works on fossile fuel, it's much simpler to do it electric.

Moller is the best example after forty years and $100M and several marriages it still doesn't work.

VoloCopter is a good example of what is possible today with electric powering, the big bottleneck is autonomy with current battery technology with only the pilot you get around 15-20 flight time.
Now what? With enough money and effort, they could pull the locomotive up, an option discussed in the article. But why?

The locomotive was a Canadian Pacific D10. About 500 were built, 9 survive in museums, and three are maybe in running condition. Exporail near Montreal has one on display. The South Simcoe Railway in Ontario runs theirs. So it's not something lost to history.

Here's some food for though:

When the automated looms were invented, people thought all jobs would soon go away to the machines, with nothing to do. Surprisingly, new jobs were invented and people have been busy since then. I bet there was something similar happening in ancient Egypt as well, knowing how there are writings about how "the youth do not write properly these days, and the world is going to the dogs soon. Everything was better during my childhood." Look it up.

So I would suggest you clean your pants and don't worry about automation. Just go with the flow and keep an eye open for the radically new form of jobs that will open up.

Also, most of you folks work in services. You build webpages, web applications, SaaS, corporate software or consult on their integration, yada yada. You will never go out of work. This is a big world, and opportunity will remain plenty. It's just changing like it was changing in the early days of industrial machines. Put in the effort to find new frontiers.
Yes, it has good effects (at least short-term). High-intensity interval training (avoids burning muscle) or weight lifting are especially good. It also enhances the effects of things like Piracetam and Acetyl L-Carnitine, which in turn enhance capability/capacity during exercise (piracetam helps with oxygen usage, in addition to being a nootropic, and Acetyl L-Carnitine helps with endurance-- so much so that many bodybuilders use the PLCAR form before workouts and the LCLT form after workouts (to speed recovery and minimize the odds of DOMS)).
If you like regex combinators, check out the elisp "rx" library. You can end up writing code sort of similar to the article's, with less emphasis on using english grammar: http://i.imgur.com/iD34MqC.png

Combinators are very convenient and precise, but the tradeoff is that the code is longer. And I have to look up what to write every time I want to write one. But that's a personal bias.

Thanks for the reference. I'll study it.

EDIT: One of the good ideas in SRL is "if not followed by". There are too many [not]ahead-[not]behind combinations to warrant special syntax for each of them. I wonder if it could be streamlined, though?
A FICO score is pretty meaningless for someone just graduating high school. They likely don't even have a credit card yet. And for those who do have a FICO score, what if the very reason they're applying to ITT tech is the same reason their score is bad? You also want to avoid "discrimination."

Thanks, I came across your research before and thought it was quite cool. In Section 8.5, when discussing whether hash tables would be suitable for handling TLB misses, wouldn't denial of service attacks also be a concern? If an attacker knows the hash function and can control the addresses being looked up, they might be able to trigger worst-case behaviour on every lookup, couldn't they?
Regarding SD cards, you can use flash drives w/ micro-USB ports (or a regular drive with an OTG cable). Not as handy since they stick out, but for occasionally swapping out data or bringing extra content with you on trips, they're pretty useful.
You don't need a program for that, as Gauss figured out in elementary school.

Hmmm - I'm also thinking that this is one of those things that probably has a much better explanation - and the science/maths will (hopefully) backfill why it works so well.

I half-remember from somewhere that as long as the gradient descent direction has the correct sign 'in expectation', then the SGD will ~work. So there's a whole lot of flexibility in there for having a good idea that at least doesn't fail horribly.

For instance, in other DeepMind work, they do lots of asynchronous weight updates - and the accuracy decrease from ignoring any kind of 'locking' is dwarfed by the speed increase of being able to run more stuff in parallel.

Another image I can't shrug off is that of Q-learning in a game, where the updates implicitly pass back from 'the future' (which also works ~better than it should). In this case, the linear model would just be an estimator of where the update values are going to land...

Barely touch regexes these days because for last few years I've been using Rebol / Red parse more and more.

Here's a translation of the first SRL example in the parse dialect:

[
some [number | letter | symbol]
"@"
some [number | letter | "-" ]
some ["." copy tld some [number | letter | "-" ]]
if (parse tld [letter some letter])
]

And here's a full matching example:

number: charset "0123456789"
letter: charset [#"a" - #"z"]
symbol: charset "._%+-"

s: {Message me at you@example.com. Business email: business@awesome.email}

parse s [
any [
copy local some [number | letter | symbol]
"@"
copy domain [
some [number | letter | "-" ]
some ["." copy tld some [number | letter | "-" ]]
]
if (parse tld [letter some letter])
(print ["local:" local "domain:" domain])

| skip
]
]

As someone who graduated from an Ivy Leage school, and boarding school before that, all on full financial aid with zero loans, I count myself incredibly lucky. I also see the student loan system as incredibly fucked up.

The worst aspect of it to me is that the most predatory loans go to the lowest qualified students, who are the ones who get the lower paying jobs. Top universities are the only ones with loan-free, need-blind financial aid programs. Yet they're the ones with students who would be most qualified to pay any loans back. Meanwhile lower tier universities charge tuitions almost as large as the top tier ones, yet send students to $40k/yr jobs.

The students who need the money most don't get it.

I agree that SRL is painfully verbose. I'm fairly experienced with regexes, and I found the new syntax to be far less readable. A better (and much simpler) way to make the regex more readable would be to split its construction into multiple lines (possibly using separate strings that are concatenated and given meaningful variable names). I already find myself often creating regex substrings that are then used in the construction of multiple, related regexes.
Yes, but it isn't very helpful to think of it that way, we're not competing to find the weakest constraint.
