> huge disparity between the CPU clock speed and the onboard memory

I think that's RISC "working as intended"; the tradeoff was always supposed to be that you got to issue lots of simple instructions at high speed. I can't find what manufacturing process they're using (?nanometers) but it sounds like it's simply a "why not?" outcome of the design process that the chip is very fast. It doesn't have all that many peripherals either, by modern standards.

Edit: the answer is here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13067833 - other chips that have onboard Flash are necessarily slower. This doesn't, so it can be faster.

SRAM just takes up a lot of space. Hard to tell without gate counts or die shots but the 16k+16k could easily be over half the die.

EPOC is one of those extraordinary things that can be called a great technological achievement with a tiny dedicated fandom that nonetheless became a dead-end. Like Amiga, Concorde, BBC Domesday Project, etc. I do wish we could have snappier GUIs on our ten-times-faster systems.
Absolutely, a lot of ecstasy tablets tends to have speed in them as well.
Is it? I didn't know it. I thought it was interesting because it didn't required installing anything, or even signing up for an account. I wasn't aware that traditionally monitoring systems worked by submitting JSON data.

I'm not knowledgeable on this topic but I'm a bit surprised that the article doesn't at any time make reference to Rick Strassman and his clinical experiments with DMT. In fact, I've noticed that LSD and DMT are very rarely referenced within the same academic discussions.
Containers are supposed to be throwaway; if you need to change something inside, you rebuild it from scratch and redeploy.

Hopefully, your data should not be throwaway. The common architecture is to have an application server inside container that connects to database or other persistent storage running outside containers.

What I am trying to do with rediSQL[1] (a redis module that embedded sqlite) is to sell commercial software that add values to the OS version... In this way small companies or projects can take advantage of my work, but if they need more performance or features they will have to contribute to the project.

Ask HN: Farmhack.org top of HN. Why are Hackers interested?
With amazement I noticed that yesterday farmhacks.org was at the top of HN for quite some time. I have been raised on a farm and was always eager to start some kind of side project between farming and technology. I thought that I would need to be gathered specifically towards farmers and was suprized that hn users (who are mainly non-farmers, right?) where also interested in this topic. I am wondering why? Do you want to start farming? Is it only the technological side? Would love to discuss
I don't know about the suppression-of-information claim made, but since you don't try to refute it I have to say actively suppressing information is not the same as doing nothing. I would say you have only made a case for the latter.
Mathematical break down of that:

let x = love; let y = fear; let z = lack of fear.

This statement is basically saying:

x = z; y = x; => y = z; => We fear the lack of fear.

Sorry but that quote is basically 90% redundant, with x ("love") being a trivial parametric, eliminatable variable.

...

This is non-historic. Northern Ireland resisted unification with Ireland, opting out of home rule, given the choice. 35% of the population were Catholic only, and its not unreasonable to simplify to say that the rest wanted to remain part of the UK. Were one to hold a refendum today about joining Ireland, you might expect a near-enough split vote.

The idea that Great Britain were somehow wedded to the idea of keeping Northern Ireland welded to the rest of it against the will of the people is simply factually incorrect. Until recently there were a lot of armed people on both sides of that question with the majority in NI wanting to stay part of the UK.

Britain's treatment of Ireland was a car crash over the previous few centuries, but the narrative that it was resisting the popular will of the people by keeping it in the UK is simply wrong.

Really large organizations will appreciate this, IAM is not sufficient. Many account limits impact larger orgs, and having to ensure each accounts policies are set right is a trust exercise.

> and do so quite inefficiently

Matter of perspective. Compared to carnivores, all herbivores are "inefficient". A wolf (even humans) can gulp down some 1-2 pounds of fatty raw meat in 10-15 minutes and be done with eating for the day. Doesn't even need any manner of dentition if pieces are pre-cut to fit the tube into the stomach.

Put on another lens though and ruminants can be seen as profoundly "efficient" when look at the actual nutrient density of grasses and seeds.. with their micro-organism colonies they also synthesize various vitamins/vitamers that mammals need but grasses/seeds/soil doesn't provide.

But yeah grazing and ruminating all-waking-time isn't terribly "efficient" from the viewpoint of us goal-oriented or creative mammals.

> the only thing animals do is save time, when we were naked and running the meadows, other animals collected nutrients for us, stored them in the bodies and saved us extreme amounts of time.

Again, they can also break down cellulose which homo sapiens never could do, so it's not just "saved time". Thus herbivores can liberate (the majority of) micronutrients from vegetation that we cannot even access (except perhaps a few in a stew for the non-heat-sensitive vitamins, and a few in the juice run-off from certain fruits or leaves when mashed, bitten or squeezed or such). Finally they synthesize vitamins we cannot synthesize no matter what gut bacteria we host. Again, capabilities that go beyond "saving time".

> currently, most of the animals we eat are just inefficient in converting edible to edible, soybean to meat

What animals are fed soy beans, hopefully only pigs and not ruminants (grasses/seeds eaters)?

You're not converting "edible to edible", you're converting "barely palatable (save for hours of pre-processing and time-consuming cuisine theatre) to eminently, utterly enjoyable and fully nourishing + highly energizing, even raw" --- the animal takes a lot of time but the human is free to pursue other undertakings. There's no serious need to "speed up food animals" as long as plenty of them are kept.
Trying to avoid boilerplate is in my experience not about laziness - especially when you consider the extreme lengths a lot of developers will go to to eliminate duplication and boilerplate from their codebases. Copying a Redux reducer that implements a standard set of CRUD actions is lazier in my mind than trying to abstract common patterns away.

For me at least, the reason boilerplate bothers me so much is that it impacts the readability of my code. Ideally, I'd like my codebase to express the business requirements of my solution as succinctly as possible - every line of boilerplate code I need to include to express yet again how to make an AJAX call, or update a piece of state, is a distraction from what I'm actually trying to accomplish with the application.
There is also increasing concern about eye health risks involved with blue LEDs, so tread carefully. I recently had to swap vendors on a project because the cheaper blue LEDs threw too much of the hazardous spectrum. The EU is way ahead of the US on this.

I agree that it makes sense for a journalist in the sense that many people do not know what MDMA is, but they have heard of Ecstasy. However, Ecstasy does have negative connotations that pure MDMA does not. The risk of unknown adulterants is probably the biggest danger in taking illicitly obtained Ecstasy tablets. This danger is completely mitigated with pharmaceutical grade MDMA.

If you don't like Molly. Please just call it MDMA. Not Ecstasy.

Too late. Semiotically blue now means 'power LED/main button', so monitors, computer cases, etcetera all have one blue LED for the power button. Even your toaster has a blue LED on its on/off-switch.

Changing this will take years. Perhaps premium brands will start making red power LEDs hip again, and we will enter a period of red LEDs (again). On the other hand, violet power LEDs might become fashionable, so count your blessings.

I was amused that the HTPC computer case I chose had a small slider just below the blue power indicator; you can slide it to the right, and the blue is no longer visible.
I'm not sure about Finnish but learning German and Czech as an English native the "uncanny valley" of familiar consonants (and familiar vowels with funky headgear) was only a stumbling block for the first few weeks or so in my experience.

Every now and then I'll mess up when reading out loud a "c" ("ts" in Czech) if I'm not paying attention, or writing "ch" instead of "č" - but that's pretty rare.

It's not the letters that mess me up, but the "false friends" - words that look similar to some in English and that can be a pretty big deal. I'm gonna write something in weird pseudo-code, because I can't express it cleanly in English.

German.ja == English.yes
Czech.já == English.me

So if you learned both Czech/German as a second language you can have moments of "wait, wtf!?" here and there. Also:

English.my == Czech.[moje,můj]*
Czech.my == English.we

More? Why not:

English.no == Czech.ne
English.yes == Czech.ano (shortened to "no")

So a Czech person agreeing to go for a beer with you might say "no" meaning "yes". There's some other good ones in Czech actually - the word "poluce" looks like "pollution" but actually means "emission of semen in sleep".

If it sounds like I'm complaining then I'm not - I love all this weirdness :)

So you're saying that if you refuse to go to war, are threatened with being killed and then go to war, you are in fact going to war voluntarily? That sounds like a rather philosophical interpretation of "of your own free will".
I would imagine that he meant the control-structure stuff like {#if}, rather than pure JS.
Why is that curious? What is your point? That you need war and the military-industrial complex for prosperity? That may be, but you leave out any argument why that is so. The only one I can think of is a pretty negative view that you need a strong military to get what you would otherwise not get from others willingly, from determining who leads in other countries to open access to other countries' markets, even though it has been proven that free markets don't work well (to put it mildly) when power is very unequally distributed between the parties.

In tech diving there came a tipping point a couple of years ago where LEDs replaced HIDs almost overnight - the wait was for reflectors that could shape the light properly.

Note that there is no reason to think that the first study was flawed (as I mentioned, some careful reproduction attempts do succeed in producing similar results), only that there seems to be an unidentified additional factor that controls whether too many choices results in lower sales.

The mystery factor could be something as simple as whether shoppers routinely bought jams and jellies, or if the purchase of a product in the category would have been unusual for them.

Ask HN: Is there a “ground-up” explanation of PGP/GnuPG?
Understanding how git works internally "from the ground up" has been incredibly helpful in my everyday work; things like blobs, commit objects, hashes and how they connect to form the git experience as I know it. Where I had been cargo-culting along previously, it all became clear once I understood the fundamental model of what was going on underneath the interface.

I feel like the same thing could apply to PGP/GnuPG. I am cargo culting my way along but I feel like I would feel much, much, much more comfortable if I knew how it worked from the ground up.

I have loose ideas of asymmetric cryptography and trust circles and such, but nothing concrete to hinge my actions upon, so I mostly try different permutations of command line arguments until GPG appears to do what I want it to do.

Is there a "from the ground up" good guide to PGP that allows me to break out of this pattern?
I don't know whether we should push for more system integrity from the manufactures. They'll give us locked down systems that run binary blobs that your OS can't control, prevent installing alternatives OSs by only booting signed kernels... If you want user freedom you have to go another route.
It's 9.5 square miles. 6080 acres. Even in California scrub land isn't going to cost $10,000 an acre, so the land costs of the US project shouldn't exceed $100 million.

(for example, here's a much larger area in the same county for $35 million: http://www.landwatch.com/San-Luis-Obispo-County-California-F... )

edit: tack on another couple hundred million for power line easements and you still haven't explained all that much of the cost difference. And I really doubt that they spent anywhere near $300 million on land and easements.
The fact that one of the doctors in the article compares the dangers to opioids is misleading or misguided. MDMA has an exceptionally small potential for long term abuse when compared to most other drugs. Despite having studied brain damage in chronic users (not very many of these), I doubt the doctor has ever personally done opiates and MDMA. Anyone who has had any significant experience with both would laugh at the comparison when it comes to potential for abuse.

apples and oranges actually. Azure RBAC is great in that you can keep it within the same account. Orgs and accounts means you can never really share resources, nor move them between.

Azure RBAC model could let me share one VNET, and simply permission the app resource groups.

The clock display was backlit by orange LEDs and seemed even less noticeable than the classic red LED display you mention.

I don't completely agree. To follow your analogy, I don't think the languages themselves are "theorems". Rather they are notation. Some notation is shorthand. Some is quite verbose.

I think you raise a valid concern. Inducement or exacerbation of schizophrenia symptoms is probably the most troubling and widely reported problem with these drugs. The famous case of Syd Barrett comes to mind. There are many such anecdotes, and I myself saw something similar first hand (the individual in question eventually got better, but it took a few months). However, considering the potential upside, to me this makes it even more important to do extensive research on all of it.

Oh, and a quick note-- the only 'psychedelic' drug mentioned in the study you cited is cannabis, which from everything I've read doesn't even begin to compare to the more powerful psychoactives. Funny enough, it is the one we have the strongest link to psychosis for, but this could only be because it's been so much more widely used and studied. It seems obvious that more study is needed, insofar as it can be done ethically.
