WWI was the first 'industrialized' war, trench warfare implied the certain death of a huge number of men if the lines were ever to move, it's basically a never ending meat grinder until one of the parties runs out of warm bodies, supplies or ammo.

The final assault on the remains of the entrenched opposition were without exception extremely bloody and the side that would take the others trench never did so without significant losses.
A virtual machine is a hideous amount of overhead for a shell, not least because a lot of people like to drop to a shell specifically for its low resource consumption for large tasks. It's a valid solution, yes, but I would rank it below Bash on Windows 10 in any form.
Plus a plane, bus, or train could easily have 50 people within range. Assuming everyone has 8GB of cache space on their phones, you could access about 0.4TB of content directly. With a mesh network that supports packet forwarding, you could connect with everyone on the plane, meaning 100-700 people, which would give you 0.8-5.6TB of content.

Obviously content would be highly duplicated between peers, but you'd have access to a significant chunk of the "popular" internet, and would be able to avoid in-flight WiFi.

For such a mesh network, you don't even necessarily need to connect over WiFi - lower energy Bluetooth could be used too.
So this article claims the problem with Twitter is that advertisers don't bring in enough money because of hate speech in Twitter. This is just absurd, any sources on that claim?

Why would advertisers care of the content? They are scared people would associate the company to the hate tweets?
Sorted with bubble sort. It's just an artificial load to facilitate the demo.
In electronic music, mix aesthetics is quite often exactly the musical intent - you're trying to create a track that sounds a certain way first, and think about melodies and harmonies (if you even have them) second. You would often pick specific key and bassline because of how low frequencies (55-110 Hz octave and below) sound in the mix on your intended equipment. You would even distinguish between open-air and club tracks sometimes because of how open space affects sonic qualities of your mix.
Exactly. Twice this week I've been in meetings that ran long and left me with no time for lunch.

I keep a box of soylent under my desk specifically for days like this. Without food I get "hangry" and can't concentrate.

I can chug a bottle of soylent in a minute or two between meetings, or sip from it instead of from a water glass, without being even as disruptive as an energy bar would be. (Plus I can't stand how sugary those things are.)

It's a terrible substitute for a salad but there's every reason to believe it's better for you than a slice of pizza or a bag of chips. Like any other food, it has a place in a healthy diet as long as it's in moderation.
> gaming console graphics hardware

High end graphics cards are usually much better than a gaming console, in that they offer much better frame-rates, and a lot more resolution, and at the same time even a single card can be more expensive than a complete gaming console.

So, yes, they are for gaming 99.9% of the time. But please don't compare them with consoles.
Yes. And it succeeds. The browser is responsive during the web worker method and is beachballing without.

The funny thing is addition and multiplication are black box operations for most software people (non-ee) also. I wish some analog stuff was included on those books like nand to tetris: https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-create-a-circuit-from-basic-c...
Thanks for the very detailed and useful post, I will definitely try it.

I should have specified that my last experience using it was with Windows 8.1, I don't think I have tried yet on 10.
> The problem is that it's the wrong topic for somebody who does software development!

For somebody building the next CRUD app, perhaps. In my line of work (EDA software), I routinely apply concepts from my computation science education on the job and in my code. Algorithms, data structures, discrete mathematics, graph theory, set theory, type theory, universal algebra, tractability theory, automata theory — these are all topics where knowledge has come in handy in my professional experience at various jobs.

Of course, concepts from other fields — biology, linguistics, and physics, for example — have also come in handy on occasion. I almost feel like there's no such thing as a "wrong topic for somebody who does software development", though some topics are certainly more relevant/useful than others.
I have tried many of them (except Soylent!), and have settled for Joylent, taste and variety were certainly two factors. I've been on it for a month now (it's literally all I "eat", except on weekends) and rotating through different flavours helps the routine.
Sure, but the subtler point is -- what is a group? How do we cluster people together?

I'm very stable (decades of medication) and no one in my workplace knows about it, but I have a mental illness; a rather serious one, too. And Jesus would it be cringeworthy to see the mentally ill parade their quirkiness in "Meet the engineers"-type situations. Cringeworthy and potentially damaging if I was "out of the closet" as it were.

I'm my own person. But just as I'm grouped as "privileged" (white, male, straight, cis, not drinking too much) by some clustering schemes -- and my "voice" somehow doesn't matter, I'm also grouped as "oppressed" which doesn't serve me better.

I'll leave you with some Emerson on pitying the underprivileged:

----------

Expect me not to show cause why I seek or why I exclude company. Then, again, do not tell me, as a good man did to-day, of my obligation to put all poor men in good situations. Are they my poor? I tell thee, thou foolish philanthropist, that I grudge the dollar, the dime, the cent, I give to such men as do not belong to me and to whom I do not belong. There is a class of persons to whom by all spiritual affinity I am bought and sold; for them I will go to prison, if need be; but your miscellaneous popular charities; the education at college of fools; the building of meeting-houses to the vain end to which many now stand; alms to sots; and the thousandfold Relief Societies; — though I confess with shame I sometimes succumb and give the dollar, it is a wicked dollar which by and by I shall have the manhood to withhold.
It had no discernable effect on me, in a fairly noisy domestic setting including a washing machine in the background. I was expecting it to be much more penetrating.

Perhaps I've ruined my hearing after years of listening to shortwave white-noise.
People have paid good money to make sure there aren't such laws.

It only has privacy laws based on incidents that have affected people of sufficient status: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Privacy_Protection_Act (and note the little coda in there about Netflix)
robots.txt only tells bots not to crawl the website. It doesn't say anything about indexing or archival of pages.

It would be perfectly possible to have the Wayback Machine respect the robots.txt and not have it crawl or archive any new pages, whilst making pages that have already been archived accessible unless a specific user agent has been denied.
Seeing as how Google and other major content providers have moved to peering with consumer & business ISPs directly, and bought trans-pacific fiber and built datacenters all over Europe, Asia and South America to bring content closer to end users, I see how both Centurylink & Level 3 are in a weakened state. Both made tons of money shuttling data around on behalf of Netflix and others, and now Level 3 has taken a back seat, and Centurylink has been reduced to a last mile ISP.

Even on the consumer & small business front Centurylink seems to be scared, Portland is fiber only now, along with most of Seattle, only a decade after Verizon did the same thing just prior to selling the suburbs around Seattle.

How long will the merged company be viable? Will it descend similar to AMD/ATI's post merger valuation (combined value was much lower) while forestalling further, more substantial value loss?

With the rise of Internet Exchanges in Asia & South America, perhaps all that is left for these two tier one networks is rent seeking from content providers for access to consumers on Centurylink's network.
I've been using it for some web development tasks. Mainly for git, ssh, perusing my file system, and PHP/Python programming. It's worked well so far.

For a terminal emulator, I set up Conemu (https://conemu.github.io/) which is pretty swell.

I hit a road block when I need to use vagrant for my development environment. I need to hop into powershell to fire up vagrant as virtualization doesn't seem to work in WSL. Otherwise it seems to work for most of my use cases.

If you had read my comment a little more charitably, you might have noticed that I never said you shouldn't consult or listen to experts, but simply that you shouldn't assume someone who is not an expert can't figure things out in a field outside their line of work.

Experts weren't always so kind to Elon[1] either.

Nice, so Firefox gradually becomes servo, as parts of that become ready.

On the meantime servo remains the testbed for very fast browser entirely written in rust.
You're still defining that as special treatment. Why is that considered special treatment?
For me it's the storage. Lettuce goes bad, fruits rot, bread gets moldy, all within a short timeframe.

I buy some Soylent and it will be good there for a while. So when I'm hungry and we are out of bread, now it's a 30 second meal vs a 30 minutes or more to run to the store.
Streaming _is_ downloading. It's just downloading _continuously_ as the content is presented. Whether or not you seed is an entirely separate issue and has nothing to do with streaming vs downloading.

The key is "you need to play with it". The way to get this to work in practice with elementary mathematics is something like Guesstimation. To my knowledge, this is not taught in most math classes. And the reason is simple: it is messy.

They might try something that looks similar with word problems, but that is a far cry from the majesty of investigating the world with simple arithmetic. The problems they come up are contrived and students are no fools. Problems must come from within, not be handed to people.

Drilling vs understanding is not an either..or. Most learning starts with messing around, trying to figure something out. It is slow and will be painful if the interest is not there. At some point, understanding is sufficient with a foundation in place and then drilling comes in to get a mastery, but what "drilling" is and needs to be will vary from person to person. Too little, and the speed fails to materialize inhibiting understanding of higher level concepts. Too much and it gets boring shutting off critical interest.

All of this suggests that teaching mathematics in a one-size-fits-all is difficult. Also, imagine trying to grade 120 guesstimations for weeks on questions the students come up with. This is the essential difficulty of our current teaching mindset, namely the single authoritarian figure blessing or cursing the work of others.

The key to true learning is excitement and motivation and little external judgement. Interested people will largely self-correct with a few subtle pointers here and there.

Even at the level of Fourier transforms, most students probably fail to understand the problem. So how can it possibly make sense? Math is about working around hard problems, but the teaching of mathematics leads one to believe that there are simple algorithms to apply and we are done.

A lower level example of this is Newton's method. Solving f(x) = 0 in their experience (quadratic formula) is easy and graphing shows the zeros anyway. What is the problem it solves? But what if you just give them a graphical piece of the curve and ask where they think a zero is? Then the problem becomes clear and the solution can make sense. Then it gets translated into steps (draw a line that fits well, find its root, find out what it looks like around there, repeat). And then to master it, one can do a number of drills.

Good luck doing this, however, with people who do not care one iota about it and live in a culture where the majority of Americans have disdain for math (probably born out of a mixture of shame of how poorly they did in math class and bitterness that this most wonderfully human tool for exploring the world has been denied them).
Web Workers are such a disaster of a terrible API. I can't believe actual programmers came up with that syntax.

Passing strings and filenames around, what were they thinking?
I'm using Scaleway for some experimental stuff, and it's great value for that.

I did not like that I am bound to their kernel on bare metal. There are setups that require kernel modules they don't provide, like DRBD. I got the modules to compile and work in the end, but it was not fun and will probably break on some future update. This is not how I expected it to be on "bare metal".

Also that prevents you from using the Xen hypervisor, which again I would not expect from "bare metal".

You only get a single IPv4-Adress per system, which not only is a burden to virtualization, but also larger container-setups.

So I found little value in the "bare metal"-part, but it's still great value if you compare it to other VM offerings.

If you treat it like a VM (or use one of their VMs), you need to be aware that disks are not redundant and their content (or at least the changes since the last boot) are gone on a crash or hardware failure. You need to mirror or replicate it yourself, or design around it on a higher level of the stack. There is no option to attach a persistent disk that would survive a hardware failure and could be attached to a replacement host/VM.

So in the end scaleway is a weird mix for me: for rented VMs I expect the platform/provider to take care of some basic reliability and redundancy stuff. For bare metal I expect to be able to setup all of that myself without trouble.
Fair enough. Eventually somebody will have to do a lot of work to get all that done then.
Marcin Wichary's look at a typewriter museum
He said, and I quote:

We built the world's first web browser that mattered. The first one that normal, everyday people could use. It was the browser that your parents used.

This is true. Mosaic may have been designed with the intent of being that browser, but it was not that browser. Netscape was.

Meanwhile, the uncontrollable reflex to run to the comment box and quibble for karma is a disease that's epidemic on HN and in our industry, and if any mod is reading this I'd support amending the site rules to find ways to stop rewarding it.
The new SAT etc now puts more weighs on reading comprehension and make math less important, which further weakens the willingness to study math, so the Asians(who are traditionally better at math) will not dominate the SAT high scores. As a country this will only make math education much worse, it should be another way around, otherwise, you can not compete in the STEM field, which is crucial for future.
And if you're less technically inclined, you can bypass the whole manual scanning of address space, and just look at what Google's already indexed publicly for you:

Na. There is a bunch of stuff that can go wrong, but there are also a bunch of safeguards that do not rely on ECC. Backups have checksums. TCP has checksums. I mean, if it is the same price I'd have no problem picking ECC, but I see the danger of it having any impact on what I and 99% people on servers are doing at 0.00000001%.
I am saying that "nutritionally complete meals" try to solve a problem you do not actually have. Please feel free to consider this as an argument against Soylent.
Kind of proving my point? :)
He did have to go aginst the grain though[1].

What if you usually break for lunch with colleagues but just have some days when you don't get a chance to take a break - you're not planning a life without breaks, but the database server crashes and shit happens?

What if you schedule your workday too tightly to break for lunch specifically so that you can leave the office earlier and spend time with the people you love?

What if you'd rather spend an extra hour a couple times a week hiking with your friends / family rather than chopping vegetables and scrubbing pots?

What if spending less time on food ENABLES you to live your life instead of missing out?

Fast instant payday advance loans online
Obtaining payday via a payday loan is a great option to get access to. The best feature with regards to these short-term cash advance payday loans is always that there's no credit assessment involved and simply about anyone will meet the standards. All that's needed is always to visit an online website providing payday loans or go to a nearest payday lender inside your locality and finish a brief form. Payday Loans are approved in an instant payday advance loans online for most of us. The conditions and terms for receiving a payday cash advance are quite simple. You need to have a reliable job along with regular earnings of about $1,000 monthly.
A few lenders provide instant payday advance loans online to the people with under this amount too.
For instance, an individual on social security who just receives about $900 a month in the local administration may still be capable of qualify for cash advance payday loan. It is worth exploring when there is cash urgency. Yet another condition is that the individual searching for payday loans must have an active checking banking account with electronic clearance facility. A neighboring payday loan lender will need a post-dated check just like a security. If the borrower does not repay the borrowed funds amount, the lending company will cash them.http://www.paydayloanexperience.com
Not exactly. Insted of drinking Soylent go to a nearby shop and by some apples and rye bread. If there are any shops... you maybe just found a market gap. Opening one you could make your city to a better place for living.

Combined with a working exploit and when not running on the bare metal server that might actually be a valid point. I know when they were released those attacks looked pretty scary, and ECC was supposed to maybe help. I'm not actually sure it does help completely, and that here aren't other measures already in place by now?
Update: Moved about 7 small images and css into S3 and page load time is now < 3 seconds with 380 users on site. I'm about 90% sure that my efforts caused the improvement.

It's still up, but it's super slow with > 20-60 second page load times. I just moved some images into s3 which made it a bit faster. There are currently 267 people on the site according to google analytics.
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

That's the point.

If a genius can't make a tricky personal website without breaking things, what chance do normal people have?

Just make a normal website.

Brett Victor is awesome. If you copy his website, you're learning exactly the wrong lessons from him.
Since we design our own hardware, we put exactly what we want and need into them.
We share some components like power, network, and casing.

This means for example :

- one integrated network switch/router for 18 servers; no need to buy an external cisco/juniper/whatever

- one dual power supply for the whole gang instead of 19 (18 servers + switch)

- less metal/plastic parts

We try to reuse hardware designs and software from one iteration to another when possible.

In short, we do have less "unneeded components". Equivalent designs (thinking at moonshot for example) are expensive, so to achieve same density it's more expensive to buy existing solutions than what we design & build.
It would be so sad if you get jailed because of an "urban myth".
