Some googling indicates that synchrotrons are not as desirable as EUV sources as I had thought. This article from ~2000 lays it out:

http://digbib.ubka.uni-karlsruhe.de/volltexte/fzk/6606/6606....

Unsurprisingly, synchrotron sources produce too much out of band radiation so heat load on the optics is high, which is not so good for fragile EUV optics that need to last a long time.

As background: EUV lithography requires high power in a narrow bandpass. 250 watts of power at 13.5 nm (92 eV) with a <2% bandpass is a really tough task when you think about it. Synchrotrons fundamentally produce full spectrum radiation, and parameters of the storage ring are varied to get the desired energy distribution. Typically you then throw away all the photons other than the ones you are interested in (turning waste photons into heat), and the inherent brightness of the synchrotron source still leaves you lots of photons in your bandpass of interest. Heat loads on front end optics on insertion device beamlines at high energy storage rings like SPring-8 are hundreds of watts per square mm. cf. the power dissipation of your CPU at a few square mm die size and <100 watts power.

My experience with Toptal wasn't great, I tried to join and got a programming puzzle for the first interview (actually an online coding test), which was barely tangential to actual programming experience. They also want you to complete an unpaid project, which I heard takes around 30 hours.
I used to have a home static IP address and run OpenBSD. I used mail whitelisting because otherwise spam was a pain. It was still a pain, though, because I'd have to work out where I might get mail from to pre-whitelist it.

So I went for Gmail with my own domain. No more spam, no more hassles dealing with span.

And for running my own services? File sharing: Dropbox. VPN: Nothing to VPN to.

What's better about running your own? I just got sick of managing it. OpenBSD, Debian, whatever I used, just broke in new and exciting ways every time I applied updates, meaning I had to spend time managing stuff that I could just hand off to others - and get for free/cheap.

It's great learning by managing your own server[s], but after so long doing it, I wouldn't want to continue without being paid to.

Planet Earth 2 will be like no nature doc seen before, says David Attenborough
We’re not listing these to complain about Consul, but rather to emphasize that when using new technology, it’s important to roll it out slowly and be cautious.

Rolling out arbitrary changes directly into production, however slowly or cautiously, is indicative of lack of process. There should be a standard process for all changes which dictates that any component must go through product testing, and then through product acceptance phases (PTA), and once both phases are successful, a deployment to production must only occur within the approved time window, specified in the change request. That all is just one part of a comprehensive change management process.

For without a process, no technology can save the situation. Processes, and their constant revision and optimization are key. CMM level four and above.

I just got a Dell XPS 13 (with Ubuntu pre-installed). It's a fairly well built machine and works without any major issues that I could find. I mostly bought it because of the infinity edge screen (very small bevel), which you won't find with most other vendors. So if you are looking for an ultra-portable it's a decent choice. (not affiliated with Dell in any way and this is my first machine I bought from them).

Isn't that the line with the Core M chips? They were a travesty for Windows 10. ~1000p on Passmark lol. Compare to an i7 6500U CPU, which has ~4500.

Correct, and the reason it is only thinkpads, is because that particular model went through extensive testing and verification that its heat output, etc, were ok for use up there. Also I don't think they are used for critical systems.

To be fair, I think that previous comment was implying the constellation of XML technologies e.g. XSD, XPath. XML encoding is rarely used in isolation because, honestly, what's the point? Sure, your document is well-formed, but you could achieve the same thing with tab+carriage return.

So if I can continue to clarify the previous comment: given that YANG is an data modeling language, what benefit does it offer when compared with XSD which as been used/tested for many projects?

Podesta is part of the opaque political machine that has largely betrayed the American people. I have no sympathy when, as a last ditch resort to restore a semblance of accountability, a person working on a campaign for a public office gets their emails served as public record. Especially when Americans have been denied their fight to FOIA Hillary's emails during her SoS tenure by her use of a private email server.

I'd recommend Rodrigo y Gabriela. In paricular albums '11:11' and 'Rodrigo y Gabriela'.
I love classical music, but not for coding. It's too musically interesting and it pulls me off task. I'll be fine and then it gets to that one part, and then I'll notice that I've been actively listening to the music and not coding for 10 minutes.

I tend toward electronia (usually) without vocals. I'll find a suitable artist and get several of their albums and listen to all the albums on loop. For me this is enough to quickly gain that familiarity you mention, hearing the same songs in the same order all day long.
Yeah, the interents needs a Banks memorial meme. Maybe not a clacks overhead though, it wouldn't make terrible sense.

I wish they were more upfront about it as well. Of course, then Silicon Valley (the tv show) wouldn't have the fodder for jokes that it now does.
Can't run in a VM, that's against the license. So there had better be something rack-mountable, with redundant network and power, and a separate management port, or this isn't a server, just some app you run on some hardware that you hope won't get jostled much (or stolen, or "Hey, that Mac that's been in the corner hasn't been used in years, so I ...")

There has to be a license change coming, or new hardware, or this is just . . . wow.
Exactly my thought, the build quality (plastic, stain resistance, etc) and screen resolution are on the cheap side, however if you're like me and you don't care about that sort of things (in favor of something affordable and "just works") I really suggest some ideapads.

I thinl the paper is a bit unclear about how one can come to that conclusion since concerning the Redis benchmark they state "The figure shows that throughput is independent of thekernel variant. Further investigation reveals that overall system throughput is limited by the network bandwidth, andthat the all cores have significant idle time."

If you are network limited you might not _really_ be testing in-kernel locking in the general case. But there might be something about the kernel that allow them to generalise even with low load, but I can't see anything obvious that would make a certain kernel immune to high load induced issues, but then I'm largely ignorant about L4 et al.

IBM's much-talked about TCO argument for Macs also holds true for individuals IMHO :

- Don't just look at the initial outlay that gets you on the Apple ladder : Macs also have a much, much better resale value than PCs, even years later. It's incremental and relatively painless if you upgrade regularly.

- You're a human, your peace of mind matters and your time isn't free. Buy stuff that brings you joy or at a minimum, stuff that doesn't feel like death by a thousand cuts day after day. And you might not recognize that before you've tried a Mac, seriously (I used to be a hardcore desktop Linux guy until 2004)

As someone who briefly lost faith in Apple last year, then went ahead and built a Hackintosh ("why not?"), I can't stress the second point nearly enough.

My high end 32GB 4Ghz Core i7 box with Thunderbolt and a 32" screen cost me about 25% less than a top of the line iMac that satisfies the same use cases. Great.

The money I saved is roughly what I make in 1-2 days, but I've spent at least a dozen evenings so far researching / troubleshooting / preparing for OS upgrades. Plus I need to reboot the box once after each cold boot before it will see my TB devices and I can play music on my audio interface. Great. Not to mention the floor/desk space compared to an iMac.

The tinkering was fun at times, I don't completely regret trying, but frankly life is too short : guess who's going back to the Mac next time ?
I still use my PowerMac G5 and it works fine performance wise. I'd be willing to bet it would run POWER8 code faster than an interpreter running on x64.

Although realistically I'd just log in to an instance somewhere in an IBM cloud.

And now I feel sad, like the sad mac face.
I think thats plausible, but actually I think its to minimize support.

They know that a PC sold with DOS is not going to be used, the buyer is going to install their own OS, therefore no support.

The danger of including Linux is then grandma is going to call about why can't she login to her church website, why doesn't email work, x 1000 other things.
You don't want flagships either. That puts the premium on features instead of reliability. Sort of like old Cadillacs or Corvettes: lots of fancy features that broke down constantly.

You want the enterprise lines: focus on reliability and backwards compatibility rather than price or whiz-bang features. Just a year or two ago one of the best signs that you were getting one of those would have been the presence of a VGA port.
Increased Reuse in Object-Oriented Programs
I do performance WP hosting and would like to try out EFS but it is not available locally yet.

What I do is use redundant RDS, ELB etc but on all the WP installs have an inhouse plugin that with any change it ioniced rsyncs that vhosts tree to all webservers and ssh's a command to them all to dump their WP cache.

It may seem hackish but the sites absolutely fly, have tried several clustered file systems but all that complexity hits reliability and speed.
I'm pretty sure that thing is better than Windows Home Server. It's not a competitor to a high class Linux server, maybe more a competitor to e.g. a Synology NAS (and there you have your redundancy for storage).

The gold standard, which has been deployed where I live for a couple decades now, is to skip all the e-voting network touchscreen foolishness and simply fill out an optical scantron sheet like the tests you probably filled out in school.

The last step of voting is inserting the ballot into the scantron machine. Valid ballots are eaten, invalid are kicked back out at you.

Theoretically the machine can output running totals at any time, and if you've never seen an optical scanner in action you'll be surprised how fast it can scan and grade a classrooms worth of multiple guess tests, less than a minute to scan and process perhaps a hundred tests, so a thousand people living in my voting district is not exactly a data processing challenge. The votes can obviously be counted by hand of course, they're just custom printed multiple guess test sheets.

Optically scanned paper tapes and punch cards were contemporary in the 60s and optical scantron machines appeared shortly after. I'd estimate my state converted from mechanical voting machines and mimeograph machines to scantrons and photocopiers about the same time, lets say 1980 although maybe as late as 1984 or earlier in the 70s. I distinctly remember watching my parents vote one last time on an old fashioned voting machine when I was a little kid, probably voting for Nixon, may have been Reagan but I'd have been too old by then, I think. Old fashioned mechanical voting machines were cool and steam punk ish in appearance.

Its such a simple, cheap, reliable system that it almost leads credence to claims that elections are being intentionally rigged. Its hard to explain otherwise why something so cheap simple and logical is being covered up and so few people know about it. Ironically I live in a non-swing state in a gerrymandered district so my vote has never mattered and never will, but at least if I ever get a chance to influence politics via voting, its pretty obvious my vote would be counted fairly.
The biggest use for me is self-management of emotional reactions. When I differ with someone apparently reasonable, I wonder if it's a difference in viewpoint or a difference in bias.

For example, as a youth I had no interest in team sports. American culture, though, crams team sports down your throats. It's just assumed that you'll be a partisan for some team, and you're treated as weird/defective if you don't. This was irritating to me, and eventually I developed a deep bias against all of it.

Older, and having lived for years among nerds, I still maintain my viewpoint: I have no interest in team sports. I still agree with this:

https://xkcd.com/904/

But because nobody's been a dick to me about this for years, and because I've become friends with people who do love sports, I've mostly lost my bias. I no longer bristle when the topic comes up. I can give a reasonable accounting of why sports fans love sports, and I can give a balanced list of the social costs and benefits. I still have a mild bias against the topic, but can recognize and override it.

The next-biggest use for me is evaluating other people as sources. I'm more likely to trust somebody if they display awareness of their biases, and especially if they're able to say nuanced things that at times cut against those biases. Because if they aren't wrestling with their own biases, they've outsourced the job to me.

Is that helpful? If not, try asking some sort of question, because you've left me just guessing at your objections here.
Depends on the station. Go to the station page and check out the streaming options. Example:

Mail in voting can disenfranchise those without a permanent address though, which is an issue to be considered.

And then there's the cases of voting papers being dumped rather than delivered to constituents. And the possibility of tampering with the votes in the mailing system. It wouldn't be hard for malicious actors to toss out papers in majority Republican or Democrat areas to attempt to sway the election.

And having "a few" polling stations would mean that they are further apart and less accessible for people, especially poorer people who don't have the same means and time for transport.
Like most people, you've found a way to rationalize the violence of your government away as necessary, realistic, justified, pragmatic, etc. Everyone has their own words that magically make killing OK.

Entire families of civilians have been destroyed by drone strikes. There is no evidence for the efficacy of drone strikes. There is no evidence that the military actions the USA has taken in recent decades has been at all worthwhile. The people who decide it is justified are the same people who commit the violence.

If it were American families being destroyed all of a sudden out of the sky with no justice or recourse, I think, perhaps you would sing a different tune. Or, perhaps, the death of a few Americans is easily rationalized away. After all, you can just look at the statistics.
