Yes. Most Intel CPUs from the past decade have supported hardware virtualization extensions (VT-x) that allow for efficient virtual machines, where the host system allocates CPU time and memory much as it would for an ordinary userspace process. Select Intel CPUs also support an IOMMU extension (VT-d) that allows PCIe devices to be virtually isolated from the host system; effectively, the device's DMA goes in to the VM's memory space instead of the host system's memory space. This can be done on a per-device granularity. It allows the OS in the VM to access the device exactly the same way it would if the OS were running on bare metal, so no driver changes are necessary.

Storage for VMs is still primarily emulated rather than virtualized, but you can use VT-d to grant a VM exclusive access to a HBA or RAID card or NVMe SSD, because VT-d works for any type of PCIe device.
Based on how the query executor currently works, I wouldn't call it scalable. Well sure, it can scale, but that implies that it's more efficient when it isn't in many cases. Basically the more complex your GraphQL query gets the more steps the GraphQL server has to take to resolve it, and figuring out how to combine those operations into something resembling a single SQL query isn't an easy thing to do. It scales so well for Facebook because their implementation only reads from a cache so they don't really have to worry about it.

Aggregating various data points manually in a predefined way may be less flexible than GraphQL, but it's much easier to optimize when things get complex imo
This strikes me as an oddly process-based approach to a problem (how to start a successful company) that is never solved by following a set process.

I think "startups require almost the exact same skills as science" is true only in the broadest sense....like, doing work of scientific value is hard and requires intelligence and discipline, and this is also true of startups.

It is also true that there are many people who are exceptionally good scientists who are not good entrepreneurs (and wouldn't be if they tried), and vice versa.
Hm, I'm sorry about the issues here — could you email me at edwin.wee@stripe.com and we can take a closer look into this?
So, when reading the features page, I was considering 1 and 2 in terms of a feature that I use at GitHub religiously: squashed pull requests (that are automatically fast-forwarded) [1].

If I'm reading this correctly, this exists in GitLab as an enterprise feature, so I think my earlier comment isn't too far off. There also appears to be some community feedback suggesting this should be a CE feature [2].

I don't understand why this genre of news still frames this as surprise...

Have scientists found a species of crow (or other probably-more-sentient-than-we-realised species) that DOES NOT use tools? That would be surprising
This is effectively restating what Animats said. Quanergy has not shipped.
I'm curious as to whether you are dogfooding Projects, especially when feature work spans multiple repos. If so a "how Github uses Projects" tutorial may be worth considering.
You could claim the data is a public good. If the data is useful for companies beyond Google or Uber, or even other industries, it is plausible that it confers a public benefit, a benefit that (at least theoretically) is not being accounted for when Uber and Google do their calculus about how much to invest in data collection. In that sense, government would be the perfect actor to support -- and perhaps even subsidize -- this data collection in exchange for having it shared with the broader community.
Reread my initial comment. Look for where I use the term. I avoided it on purpose because I think that part of it is a boring discussion.

The majority of our food comes from huge farms running huge machinery. Thousands and thousands of those huge farms are owned by small groups (there's a few million farms in the US, so even 1% of them is still a lot). Are those groups families? Some of the are, some of them aren't.
Credit is just sharing value that was already created. Credit has to be repaid with value that will be created in the future.

> Also the house is often worth far less than the land.

While that can be true, it is only true if someone has created value around it, or has exchanged the value that they created elsewhere for it.

It is not like land itself is all that valuable. A quick look at the real estate listings showed me all kinds of vacant lots for just $2,000. It takes more than dirt to derive value. Something has to be created.
yep, it seems the title has changed.
I didn't pick up many hints that they were using Linux purely because FOSS, that seems like a projection?; personally I went entirely Linux because I'm fond of the nearly infinitely granular controls I can make over the UI and UX (plus a few system level things) that I can share with others, get improvements on and reiterate into my daily use. Perhaps there's a similar trend here to the user you're responding to; I am merely speaking out of anecdote.
That list betrays how lonely you are and the self-esteem problems you have. Might I suggest mental help?
That's a bit of the stretch considering the majority of the film was basically irreverent to the neoconservative foreign policy of the era.

One recurring theme was gratuitous collateral damage whenever Team America found themselves in a foreign locale, followed up with complete indifference or ignorance on Team America's behalf.

To suggest the film was pushing an agenda is ludicrous when it's pretty clear the goal was to make fun of pretty much everyone and everything.
Enough with the ads here.
are you joking? it's the other way around. github is only just now playing catch up to gitlab
Do they mention it was CPU trained? I assumed GPU. If it was CPU trained, I wonder what the operations keeping it off the GPU were?
Sure that's fine. My personal belief is that no matter which way you look at it, you're dealing with a tradeoff between the likelihood of a cop being killed and the likelihood of an 'innocent' armed and unstable person being 'murdered'. Whatever else you may choose to believe, there was no way for Mader to know with any certainty whether or not this individual would have shot him. He would have had to use his gut in this instance (and did) and that defies police protocol for the various reasons I outlined.

I'm okay with the nature of this tradeoff as currently interpreted in police work because, tragic edge cases such as suicide-by-cop aside, it's a policy that makes sense. I'm staunchly against this idea that cops should hesitate to neutralize individuals posing a clear threat (and I think an armed, suicidal individual qualifies) to them and those around them. There could come an unfortunate time where you or I might be a bystander in this situation and I'm not interested in a cop gambling with my life as well as his own on the off chance he can convince said person to stand down (which btw is stupidly unlikely considering they don't even have the training to do that). I don't want to live in a world of cops hesitating to shoot armed, unstable people and neither should you.
The assumption that is flawed is that people are using a third party dnscrypt sever which is not always accurate. People can put dnscrypt on their own servers and share the instance with their friends for plausible deniability.

That in concert with dnssec will also protect you from the common practice of ISPs rewriting dns replies as they see fit, which is a far larger privacy concern imho.

Overall there are some good points in the article but vpn is still not a silver bullet and the title is definitely link bait.

Bruises and a lost wallet are also minor compared to a transit accident. Yet I'm guessing you get around? They're less than the damage from choking to death, but I'm guessing you eat more than liquid food?

WSL is useful for some, but personally I'm more interested in reverse (Wine), mostly for some games without native Linux releases.
Neat hack!

Although from the source, it looks like this is really dependent on "https://blockexplorer.com/api/txs/?address=' + CONFIG.btcAddress", so still has an obvious PoF until the browser can speak BTC.
> What does matter is the content of the leaks.

Which is then subject to interpretation thru the bias of the observer. It's Benghazi all over again, or just business as usual, or not a problem at all, depending on your internal narrative.
They didn't say anything about using Linux because of FOSS. They said games were the only thing keeping them on Windows. There is a possibility that they just enjoys using a Linux OS over Windows for general computing?
1. I haven't found Firefox to be "dog slow". I may not be doing things that stress it, but overall, speed is not something I have had complaints about.

2. Ummm...don't you have to test against non-WebKit browsers, anyway? Or, do you really expect all of your users to only use WebKit based browsers? That seems problematic.

This is really clever. I'd love to see the web shift to a decentralized model like this. I don't know enough about bitcoin to understand how this would perform under load. I'm assuming that bitcoin scales the same way that any p2p network scales? So the more requests there are for a resource, the more peers that are serving up that resource?

I think maybe we should re-think the method of whistleblowing -- I think the best way in the current climate would be to leak to congress first, if nobody responds, hold a press conference (from Russia) -- and let them know the nature of evidence you have, and that you want whistleblower protection and then you'll go before congress and divulge the full nature... -- everyone in government should at least be able to see the nature, then they can leak/share whatever won't hurt national sec interests, --but it'll still get a lot of the issues out front and center... --though I still support Snowden in a big way--if it were me--something like that would be better, and provide less liability.

But they could definitely use a government whistleblower protection mechanism... But good luck with that.
uh, really? how do you know what his situation is?

maybe op had a son, or daughter, or parent, or friend, or co-worker, or co-founder, go through loneliness/depression/etc? and these are some of the resources mustered to help?

maybe op was depressed himself, and found a way out, and now wants to help other people?

maybe op is a psychologist or psychiatrist. you know, a professional.

maybe op is venture capitalist with a portfolio run by executives who exhibit these symptoms?

maybe op is a line manager who deals with this issue on his staff reports, or manages "up" to his overworked executives?

what a shame. i expect more from the hn crowd.
Of course it isn't unreasonable to work together. But the officers in the article were colluding to cover their asses for breaking the law, not cooperating to ensure mutual safety. And indeed, this is a pattern I read and hear about often, unfortunately.

How do I land my next gig? or Should I change Careers?
I have a BS in Computer Engineering and I have worked as a Consultant with one of the "Big 4" consulting firms for 5 years. I worked in various roles as a consultant from QA, DB Admin, Business Analysis, Project Management. I was laid off last year due to "low demand" (i.e. my cost rates had gotten too high from few good years of raises and promotions).
Anyway, since then I have been trying to land a gig without any luck. Either the opportunities require solid experience in a domain (eg. X years experience using Y tools) or I end up being rejected for being overqualified for Jr. PM roles etc. I do get positive feedback on being personable and likable from the interviewers and recruiters - so that is not an issue.
I have been keeping myself busy with a some entrepreneurs hoping to turn it into something but looks like the funding is not going to come through for them.

I feel pretty stuck, any advice on how to land a gig? Should I change careers? I do not know anymore...

Thanks,
IJ

I'm at 10 minutes waiting and the page hasn't loaded anything yet, the console reports wasm loaded correctly. It might be more useful to change the URL to the repo catilac linked. The idea sounds interesting, if a bit circuitous.

Edit:

Now that I think about it more, I'm a little confused about how this "decentralizes" anything, because the page is still required to get the bitcoin address in the first place? What prevents someone from seizing a domain or webserver and modifying this particular bitcoin address, other than the work involved? Can anyone familiar with IPFS speak to similarities or differences?
Linux and windows comes with multiple different debuggers.
Linux comes with strace, kdb, kgdb. You also have gdb by virtue having C compiler.

Only by tight integration with VM/compiler you can get decent debuggers. For example Smalltalk debuggers are class above to what JS can offer today. Crass design error is ignoring debugging needs until it is too late. Adding needed hooks and state managers is expensive, just look how much effort it is now: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1207696

" That being said, if we ever do get evidence that China or Russia did manage to get that data during his trip there, I'd change my tune immediately. That would be high treason, at least if it was intentional."

I guess you'll be changing your tune when you find out China and Russia read the papers containing all the TS/SCI and ECI leaks. They definitely have the information. ;)

No, my advice would be to read the in order of publication.
Yes, the show is preachy and often tries to feel superior by shitting on both sides of a debate.

But how in the world are they neo-conservative? Or worse, neo-reactionary? The show has never come across as trying to push neo-con or neo-reactionary ideals. Libertarian, yes, but neo-reaction directly contradicts libertarianism and neo-conservatism (many reactionaries actually see themselves as reacting against what they perceive as lukewarm conservatism). Libertarianism is compatible with some facets of neo-conservatism, but not most of it.

It sounds like you're just haphazardly listing the names of political philosophies you don't like.
Your comment history is a stronger indicator of your projection.

Again, I get the theory. The question is the practice. How, concretely, does the iPad's processor being faster cancel out food costs? Do you buy 3% less of an iPad? Do you save the time from its faster responses to work extra hours? (Er, well, except, even that doesn't work because the faster processor is canceled out by the updated app being hungrier...)

So, to rephrase the point one other way, can you walk me through a scenario in which someone "came out even" because iPad speed went up as much as their food prices (with adjustment for value weight etc)? If you can't, then we're basically in agreement.

Yes, the Fed should treat differently-caused price drops differently. Velocity-related deflation is not the same as technological deflation, and central banks should be more concerned with the former.

If some miracle technology makes clothes require half the inputs, the Fed should not take it as a signal to debase the dollar that much more to accelerate spending, so yeah, if they're thinking inflation is low because there was iPad technological deflation, that does sound very much like "doing it wrong". Why do you disagree?

Didn't google announce some speech breakthrough last week?
well I'm conservative and all this surveillence runs roughshod over the 4th amendment. What we have is a bunch of control freaks in government who are afraid of their own shadows. I worked for years in black hat type ops and the attitude especially of the FBI is both creepy and hyper paranoid. Interestingly enough when it's someone very high up in the government incompetently and negligently dumping a bunch of intel (like some former sec of state) it's hands off. But crucify the guy who tries to expose gross abuse of power and bring down the machinery.

The machinery wants to crucify him and make a huge example. The machinery needs to be fixed and Snowden's actions need to be better examined by a group not so invested the massive machine.
GitLab Live Event Recap
Here is some rough figures of Ride Price

some very rough figures: https://www.quora.com/How-much-will-a-ride-cost-in-a-Google-...

- Personal vehicles cost roughly 60¢/mile to own if you have a car payment, according to AAA -- or 2¢/minute, obviously keeping in mind that you pay for every minute you own the car, regardless of whether you use it.

- Taxis in NYC and Chicago run about $2.00/mi, or 50¢/min if you're going nowhere in traffic.
- Uber depends on the city, but let's say $1.00/mi, or 20¢/min. Both Uber and traditional taxis have other fees they tack on, as a reminder.

So, the cost will be competitive initially: likely no higher than $1.00/mi or 30¢/min

with it getting as cheap as someone wants it to be for the sake of driving adoption. When you hit critical mass with an autonomous fleet, you could likely see fees below 20¢/minute (minute will likely be the dominant metric) to run a profitable model as we know it today.

With Mass adoption of Electric Autonomous vehicles, if it is offered at 40 cents/mile that that is cheaper than OWNING your own Car

----------------
1/ Uber drivers in the U.S. collected an average $13.36 per trip, while Lyft drivers took $12.53 for each ride, according to a new report.
http://time.com/money/3959091/uber-lyft-price-per-trip/

2/ Uber gets 20% cut of that ride price that is $3

3/ It seems average ride time is 15 minutes

"As I pulled over to ask if the gentleman was OK, I was immediately threatened with a ticket for blocking traffic. I re-parked my car legally and returned."

This person drove past the scene of a crime while Police Offices were in midst of arresting someone. He stopped his car was told to move. He then proceeded to park his car car and approach the suspect.

I'm sorry but if you pull your car over and interferer with a crime scene where the police are in the midst of an arrest you will be arrested and incapacitated to preserve the safety of the officers.

The 'Evil White Man' is sadly, predictable click bait to drive traffic. I'm sure this person would be in court if he had a case. But any lawyer is going to tell you if you interfere with police business you have no case.
I setup PCI passthrough in a virtual machine awhile back on Arch and it worked excellent! https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/3lno0t/gpu_pa...

The only issue I had was with my Oculus Rift, but I suspect I could have fixed it by getting a dedicated USB PCI card to passthrough. Anyways, for AAA games it worked wonderfully with very near native speeds.
Why? These features don't change the individual experience at all. You're not forced to use them.
First off, "The traditional CPI solution to this problem is to temporarily remove an item from the sample when its quality has changed." Lowering quality is one of the standard ways of dealing with rising production costs so this really does present a large bias.
