This discussion is interesting, I had read earlier that long mode was a point of no return, I guess that's not true after all?

I guess no v86 mode still makes it a dealbreaker for NTVDM type applications. Nobody wants to go back to a windows 95 style OS where a 16bit application runs unprotected and can stomp over anything and bring the machine to a halt. (For example, in win95 you could run debug.com and overwrite the first blocks of physical memory with zeros, which would immediately crash everything since that's where interrupt vectors like the IRQ timer is stored)

Would it be possible to bounce from 64bit long mode to 16bit real mode with some trusted code that bounces on to a mini kernel in 32bit protected mode that hosts v86 16bit applications, and then back again?

Despite my username, I agree that the market will not fix discrimination. (Which I used to not believe was a problem, until I saw it first hand).

Markets are made up of individuals, and if most of those individuals are irrational, irrational outcomes will result, whatever the incentives for rational action. The only real fix is free speech and free association: i.e., those who belong to discriminated-against groups swapping information on the best and worst places to work, and forming professional associations for mentorship, career planning and networking. (Forcing companies to make diversity hires can only be counter-productive).
yeah agree - and i'd have said the same about Auckland until about 2-3 years ago. i guess the wider point is that it is weird that so much time/effort/treasure is being devoted to eliminating an entry level job and not investing in some pretty basic infrastructure. Auckland has just about had a heart attack trying to push through some planning rules that allow 3 story apartments and bike paths/PT in the city... i think that's the blind spot. check out the US civil engineers report card on infrastructure - seems to be a thing around the world. maybe if fewer deciders flew on private jets we'd have bridges that stay up?
still disagree on future viability - sounds like tech for tech sake.

I think more radical salary transparency across the board would help salary equality between the sexes more than anything else, honestly. I(a male) was being radically underpaid for the first few years of my career simply because I hadn't broken into the "club" necessary to learn what the market rate for my skillset actually was, despite what I thought was negotiating hard for each position I had taken. I can only imagine how much harder that discovery process must be for women in any tech-related field.
Hanjin has obtained an injunction in Korea against seizure of its assets, says Lloyds List.[1] Right now, Hanjin ships have been ordered to stay offshore to prevent seizure for unpaid claims until the legal situation stabilizes. It looks like Hanjin is going to file for Chapter 15 bankruptcy in the US, which means US creditors get Chapter 11-like treatment: old claims are stalled and new bills can be paid. Claims have to be resolved in the primary bankruptcy court in Korea. Then the ships may be able to unload and head back to Korea, pending further court action to unwind Hanjin.

Strange mix between developer and tech lead.

I understand code, I understand business and I understand people. I use to work as a simple backend developer, but in the last jobs I find myself mostly helping the company that hired me from a more high level point of view.

If you are not sure what is the best next step to take I can definitely help you out.

I am data driven, and in the sweet position where I actually could write your product, so I know what is possible, what is reasonable and what is just a terrible idea to avoid.

I only collaborate on project where I know that I can provide good ROI, if I have doubts about my ability to help you, you will definitely know and probably I will turn down the job.

So, to recap, a data driven developer grow into a more managerial position.

Of course before to work together I allocate 10 hours free of charge to let mw understand your product and problem.
Your summary is quite inaccurate. As the article explains, the change in thickness of the oxygen-rich layer is well-explained by global warming and the addition of nutrients from farming. The H2S2 increase is also explained, except the causes of its precise depth are not.

In discussing the changes in the Black Sea, it should be noted that Russia is heavily invested in fossil fuel production, and that Putin denies the reality of anthropocentric global climate change. This leads me to the possibility that the purpose of your comment is to divert criticism of Russia. Of course, that idea might be mistaken, and you honestly just misunderstood the article.
Neither extreme of walkability is cheap. You've experienced nearly the extreme on one side (got some hills there though), and know that drives up housing. At the other extreme, you spend lots of time and money driving because it's dozens of miles to anywhere.

How about some moderation? There are plenty of places where you pretty much need to drive everywhere, but it's only 1 to 5 miles without much traffic. THAT INCLUDES YOUR COMMUTE. Observe that your current walkability situation is horrible, with a commute that is 45 minutes on a good day. You get to suffer walkability envy, seeing San Francisco every day but actually living a minimum of 45 minutes away.

Example in Florida: Indialantic, Melbourne Beach, Satellite Beach, Melbourne. It's not exactly walkable, but the driving is trivial. I go a mile to work (just 3 minutes), 3 miles to Publix (the nation's 2nd-rated supermarket), a mile to the beach or to freshwater fishing/boating, and so on. Houses are dirt cheap by your standards, sometimes even below 6 figures for what you are seeking. For the prices you are used to facing, you could literally live in a house on the beach.

I agree with your description of some of the motivations, but disagree with this status quo escaping criticism.

If so many people depend on computers, then shouldn't actually securing them be a priority? If an individual shirks doing the work to understand account access the way they understand shed access, then are they not partially to blame for the result? This is awfully close to leaving a shed door open and then complaining something must be done about the wildlife.

The story was interesting, but I found the end abrupt and incongruous. Asimov clearly demonstrates an understanding of advancing to de facto reliance, so prescribing "take it away" is overly simplistic.

If the society relies on such law to prevent people from defrauding computers, then it has a gaping vulnerability to someone who just exploits the enforcement computer first. And if it doesn't rely on it, then the punishment need not be so draconian - applying a similar punishment to a violent criminal would mean that everyone from polite society would be free to attack them with impunity. Which I believe we used to do to those who evaded the law ("outlaw"), but stopped.

The post-hoc "rule of law" is a Schelling point because it is the best we can do in the physical world. But the entire advancement of networked computing is to preemptively create formal mechanically-executed protocols rather than relying on ill-specified natural language ones. It's regressive to insist that the virtual environment be ruled by both regimes, causing any benefits from formalism to be erased by the ambiguity of the legacy system.

Now obviously actions through computers can have physical-world effects, and if there is an intent for a real-world crime that is still justifiably illegal. Deliberately shutting off a ventilator remotely is still murder. But the current status quo is basically demanding the right to casually connect a ventilator to the Internet, have it fail due to a portscan or other Internet background radiation, and then blame "Anonymous" instead of putting the manufacturer and hospital administration in jail for gross negligence.

Zimmer Biomet (formerly Respondwell) is hiring. We’re hoping to bring a couple of experienced people onboard to help us build serious games in the healthcare industry, specifically in the rehab space. We use video games to help people get back on their feet after they’ve broken themselves via sprains, breaks, falls, or surgery.

We're looking for two important hires: The first is a database & network engineer to help us scale our current system to deal with the increased server load as we continually get more patients & clinicians. This position requires serious experience with PostgreSQL, setting up failover, replication, and load balancing on the server, and writing backend Python code to interface with the server web-framework (we use CherryPy). You'll also need experience setting up and administering a Linux VPS through AWS (mostly) or Azure (not as much).

The second position is a Unity3D engineer. For this position you must have experience in Unity3D and C#, and have reasonable 3D math skills. Python experience is a huge plus but not required.

For both of these positions we’re looking for people who are self-directed and like working with cool technologies in ways that haven’t been used before. This job will definitely stretch your brain.

These jobs are located in Portland, Oregon, and would require relocation here, with assistance provided to the right candidates. We offer great salaries, great benefits, and a chance to work on projects that actually make people feel better. We work sane hours and don't throw around words like rockstar or ninja to describe our team. Work/life balance is extremely important to us.

If any of this sounds good and you fit the descriptions of what we're looking for, send your resume & any relevant links to jobs@respondwell.com and we'll take it from there.

I don't know if I agree. Aside from Challenger (I know -- a pretty big aside), what catastrophic launch failures were there with the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo program rockets? Or the Delta 2. And doesn't the old-fashion-can't-even-land-on-a barge Atlas 5 have a perfect launch and mission success record of 62 of 62?

It seems like building and launching a rocket that doesn't explode every 14th time is possible but its not cheap. The US has been doing it since the 60's. SpaceX may turn out to be OK for delivering Tang to the ISS, but let's let something else carry the Webb into orbit.

Yep also confirmed in the updated Citizen Lab blog post:

"Update (Sept 1, 2016): Today Apple released security updates for Desktop Safari and Mac OS X. These updates patch the Trident vulnerabilities that identified in this report for desktop users. The Trident vulnerabilities used by NSO could have been weaponized against users of non iOS devices, including OSX.We encourage all Apple users to install the update as soon as possible. Citizen Lab is not releasing samples of the attack at this time to protect the integrity of still-ongoing investigations."

I think this is true only to the point of perceiving that you are compensated correctly relative to the market, i.e. that you can't switch jobs tomorrow and get a 10% or greater pay raise. After that definitely the motivations put forth by Drive apply. At least, this has been my experience with myself and past/present coworkers. There are also some cases where one will take a pay cut for more meaningful work, but that requires a position of relative privilege to contemplate.
How people perceive value is a weird thing. Large raises suddenly makes some employers re-evaluate what they're getting for their money's worth. In their eyes, they're paying more money (sometimes a LOT more money) for essentially no change in work. That's profit out of their pocket and that makes them resentful. They don't look at new hires that same way, no matter what they cost, because they're getting an increase in workload for that spent money.

I don't at all agree with the above mindset, but I can easily see how somebody can look at it that way.
I agree op is really underpaid. In 2011 I accepted my lowest offer out of college at $66k (though that was with good grades at a respected state school and good internships).

This is definitely an interesting aspect of human psychology that some places seem to be able to work around, like Google, which from what I understand is able to compensate their employees well relative to the market without them needing to job hop.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I think of optional columns as nullable (but declared) values. It sounds like you use JSONB to store arbitrarily declared values. If so, then I'm still confused then by how you're able to hoist values from JSONB data to save on perf and space. That implies these values weren't that arbitrary to begin with.
The Tesla Power Wall is designed to store electricity generated by Solar City's solar panels.

The Tesla Power Wall and the Tesla battery pack for the car are very similar except one is larger and goes on the car and the other is smaller and goes on the wall.

Solar power is not useful without having a way to store it.

It is amazing how difficult it is for people to see the connection between these systems and that these are complementary products that are part of the same vision.

Space constraints can be a big problem with column keys, at sufficient scale.

Traditional SQL database have column names that are stored separately from the table data, but in JSON, the keys are in the data.

I've worked with MongoDB systems that held 100 terabytes of data. At that scale, we had to re-write all of the keys so they were only a single character. When JSON is small, it is pleasant to have keys that make sense, such as:

username : mary

but as JSON gets big, this needs to change to:

u : mary

If you have 10 million records, the difference (in this trivial example) is 70 million characters, and if you have 100 different collections with an average of 20 keys each, then you are talking about 140 billion characters saved.

Most of the companies that I know, if they work with JSON document stores at scale (such as MongoDB) eventually take steps to make the keys smaller.
Insurance policies for rocket launches typically expect 1 in 10 rockets to blow up on the pad. ULA's 100% success rate is unusual for the industry. Elon and SpaceX are obviously shooting for higher reliability than the industry standard, but I don't think you should chalk this up to 'move fast and break things' causing substandard reliability.
NotesKey: The quick reference guide to Apple's keynotes
speaking from experience with dpi. We did a POC project on analysing dpi data with hadoop,spark and other big data data tech.

You are right about the volumes, but wrong about it being impractical.

The volumes with a relatively small opco:

- +-7m subs

- 250gb just for the protocol classification. *

- Then you also have url logs etc

Key factors that reduce the costs and investment:

- commodity hardware (with hadoop etc)

- distributed

- query patterns

- you do not need to store every single record. The data can be aggregated up to hourly, daily, monthly the older it is

This is what we did, data was aggregated which significantly reduced storage.

Tested various options:
Hive, hbase, druid

Edit:
* per day

Music, I can't really say, for I don't pay much attention to today's popular music. But I can say that there were a lot of terrible movies made then, and there are some made now that can stand up to what was made from 1960 through 1989. Everyone has had twenty-six years to forget the worst movies and music of 1989, but the worst of 2016 is on the screen or in our ears.

I have literally no knowledge or opinion about Limina, but kinda with desktop UIs would attempt to be timeless rather than trying to follow the latest style fads.
Providing Stable Storage for the Diskless Crash-Recovery Failure Model [pdf]
I think as far as desktops environments go, I imagine the first goal is to make it functional, and only then make it pretty.

Hopefully now after recently hitting 1.0, someone spends some time making it a bit nicer looking (nicer being relative of course -- I tend to like simpler desktop designs).
The user-provided data is arbitrary but not random. Certain keys like "name", "email", "browser", etc will show up very often, and might even be included automatically by the client-side libraries and therefore be present in almost all rows. There may be other values that only appear very rarely - say, "my_super_special_id", and you want to be able to support those as well.
> Hire a designer to make Lumina less ugly. Sorry I know that sounds harsh, but it looks very 2005.

I'm not trying to sound harsh and just have to respectfully disagree.

I don't use Lumina because I don't use DEs, but the looks of it are just right. It's not a regression like most "styles" these days where it's impossible to know half the time what's an interactive widget, or why suddenly the designers think large empty white spaces and large widgets and titlebars are a feature. If I'm at a desktop, I need a desktop environment, not a tablet experience.
