Posts of you insulting people and their ideas:

> The idea that the other side has a valid opinion just because they won is stupid. A lot of believes don't deserve any respect at all.

> You don't have to give every idiot a platform to believe in free speech.

> There is a lot of worthless hate speech in the world. Nothing is learned from it except that the speaker is ignorant.
> The stuff people are taking about blocking and removing from their services is far from the best arguments or adversaries. It is the trash.

Conceding your argument in the other thread:

> Reddit stopped claiming to be about free speech years ago.

Let's take a step back. What you responded to was this:

> I think that Reddit will be throwing away one of its most essential contributions to the internet if it resorts to servicing just one side of this deba

That is about reddit being about free speech.

You said:

> There is a lot of worthless hate speech in the world. Nothing is learned from it except that the speaker is ignorant.

I said:

> Historically speaking, moral righteousness has always been the primary argument for curtailing free speech.

And you said:

> No one is talking about curtailing free speech they are talking about a private platform not wanting to promote that speech anymore.

You are trying to redefine the words "Free speech" to have a specific meaning that is taken out of context (the context was plainly a discussion about reddit allowing both sides of the debate, not about government retaliation--your argument against that was today's foremost argument against free speech: that the world already has too much hate speech), and I do not find that argument constructive because (a) free speech being defined as speech without censorship is a perfectly correct definition (it is not necessary for their to be a direct or indirect government actor as you seem to believe--this is why I said it was ignorant), and (b) this is not a direct rebuttal but instead what it does is redirect the debate to be about what exactly free speech is which I do not find that useful in contributing to the conversation thread.

This same general idea proceeded in another thread then you conceded in the other thread that the issue was reddit "stopped being about free speech," so there, you use that language with the same definition yourself, substantiating point (a).

I would recommend starting with LSD; it's much easier to take compared to something like mushrooms, and it's easy to reduce dosage.

I often took a 1/4 hit when I was in college; aka cut a normal hit into 4 pieces. I found this to be a really nice, 'mellow' (well for LSD anyway...) trip; You won't hallucinate much (probably none at all), and so you'll still be able to function and get around, go on a hike, that sort of thing. You'll still have an incredible experience full of self discover and personal insight, but of course each persons milage may vary.

At some point once you have a feel for it you'll want to take a full hit and experience the full effect. But that takes more planning and you should definitely find a designated 'watcher' because you can make some really irrational decisions on this stuff, esp. if you are inexperienced. Always good to have a straight friend around to stop you from making phone calls to family (bad idea), going out for a hike in a blizzard (also attempted this one), you get the idea.

Mushrooms in my experience are much more unpredictable and given the option I personally always chose LSD.
I'm a little confused by this. I can understand why someone might want to preserve a repl env across invocations however the main reason given is startup time.

This may seem strange to you, but this is actually the way many lisp systems (and other image-based development systems, like Smalltalk) work.

I build software using the commercial develop environment Allegro Common Lisp and an image dump is precisely the way I deliver software. The ultimate deliverable is an executable that loads the image and launches the main execution thread.

Isn't the ninja build system just a faster replacement for make. I use CMake primarily it lets me create makefiles, ninja files or vs projects. I noticed that in the general case ninja is 5% to 10% faster than make on builds that are more than few seconds long.

Then I found that if I did serious file manipulation at build time, like copy trees of files dependent on other thing in the build, I could have tens of thousands of targets, one per file usually. Ninja might hiccup for a fraction of a second on these shenanigans but make often sits and spins for 20 or minutes.

Unless you want to write the makefile yourself why not use ninja?

This is pretty exciting. I'm still only about halfway through the book, but I am really enjoying the language. Learning it has been a real brain melter (in a good way) so far. Am looking forward to finishing the book.

I do appreciate how you can use dependant types as much or as little as you like, so in some ways it can actually be considered a simpler and easier to learn Haskell due to having strict evaluation.

Couldn't vote for him, never liked him, he scares me for a lot of reasons; but you think Trump has opened that flood gate? I don't think I buy that. I think the media has opened the flood gate/given it a soapbox in order to link it to Trump. For all his obvious faults, I don't think he is actually a racist. Nothing in the man's history, until he ran for president, shows that... if anything his history shows the opposite.

idk, but yea, we agree these guys suck.

Technology does weird things to conversations about the First Amendment. Twitter benefits from freedom of speech/the press/assembly in the sense that it can operate a platform that broadcasts individuals' writings. By the same principle, it has the right to only broadcast what it wants. Twitter isn't the government or a public entity. It's the publisher printing a paper. So, no, that's not really censorship, whereas requiring Twitter to broadcast speech against its will seems like it would be.

My understanding is that this dumping of state is done during the Emacs build process. You build Emacs, initialize it and then dump out it's state. Every time you launch Emacs, your instance is starting from the dumped state.
I wonder if itemizing payments per service would help? You'd then only incur suspension for services you couldn't afford. Maybe this in combination with some form of prepays?

So maybe a couple of EC2 instances go down, but you pay for and keep S3, Dynamo, etc. At least enough to salvage or implement a contingency. You'd still owe Amazon the money.

It's tempting to wonder why Amazon would incur that risk, but it is a risk already inherent to their post-pay model, and it serves as good faith mitigation to the runaway cost risk that is currently borne by the customer.

Not perfect, but maybe a compromise.
>They've nailed hate-filled ideology, lone-wolf attacks

Uh, no they haven't. Alt-Right has never committed any terrorist attacks. Unless you consider triggering liberals as "terrorism" now... which it probably will be soon, lets be honest.

>it's only a matter of time before they organize into something worse

You could say this about liberals. Look at the police state they turned Britain into. Over in Europe a boy was raped by a migrant having a "sexual emergency" the migrant was not prosecuted because he didn't know that the 10yo boy did not want to have sex.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/iraqi-refugee...

This is the thing though, legally it does not matter what the boy wanted, a minor CANNOT consent to sex. So it is a criminal act to have sexual contact with a minor, even if the child asks for it explicitly AND even if you are ignorant of the law.

The fact that this migrant was let off due to anti-racist sentiment IS THE EXACT REASON that the alt-right can exist. Without shit like this from "liberals" and "anti-racists" then there is no reason for the alt-right, there is no fuel for it.

As long as things like this keep happening, then the alt-right will continue to grow as a reaction to feckless liberal cowardice and double standards.
1 - Get an attorney and arrange a pre-nup and all these issues go away.

2 - If your masculinity can stand it, find a bright intelligent high earning woman for a partner. Who knows, she might owe YOU support in a divorce!

3 - Foreign bank accounts have tax implications, like FACTA reporting compliance during tax reporting. Your tax preparation bills will go up... unless you plan on keeping these accounts secret from the government? Then hey, here's a felony tax evasion charge for you! Say Hi to Wesley Snipes for me.

...PS...

4 - You may wish to think about a vasectomy before marriage. In many cases, the woman has physical custody of the children so the husband has to pay her support for rearing his kids. This is why the law appears to favor women. In truth the law favors kids not being financially abandoned by their fathers. Anyway, you can prevent having to pay for children by not having any. A vasectomy is the best solution for remaining financially sound.
Your lesser known VPS providers probably have lower tier bandwith, more crowded hypervisors, old virtualization tech or old hardware.

That's not to say getting a 8GB openVZ vps for $4 a month isn't an amazing deal, but just that there are caveats.
That definitely makes sense :)

And the CDN at least helps mitigate any deployment issues with not being able to keep the images in the repo.

Doesn't one usually associated a 'safe space' with the introduction of policies surrounding what can and cannot be said? This article seems to suggest that a 'safe space' is also a place associated with looser constraints allowing people say whatever they like.
Those names assume a decent amount of technical understanding. A lot of times the people who will end up paying big bucks for these services don't know what transactional E-mail is, so calling it SES or Amazon Transaction E-mail wouldn't make a difference. So, they go with a "cool" name.

> That's not what "Safe Space" means?

I'm sure the NYT knows that. I assumed it was a sarcastic dig against the concept of "safe spaces".
They didn't have this great idea; it came from the Lisp culture. Lisp implementations have the ability to save images. It's not described in ANSI CL, but all the "industrial strength" Lisp have this, and it is one of the means for application delivery.

If you're working on an interpreted Lisp which is getting slow to load due to its growing library, image dumping and restarting is the obvious "off the shelf" approach you already know about from being a Lisp programmer.

> Instead of engineering around this (lazy loading services

I'd be surprised if Emacs didn't have lazy loading too. Lazy loading only goes so far. Sometimes lazy loading brings in a lot of dependencies, so it is slow for those users who use whatever is being lazily loaded.

Lazy loading is a hack to work around the lack of a fast image restore.

The thing that is hacky about Emacs image saving is that it saves the C state. It's not exactly a Lisp image saving mechanism.

This is why I was abel to port this dump/undump very easily to GNU Make, which doesn't share any data structures with Emacs, let alone any Lisp stuff. Dumping the image worked just fine for the C data structures on GNU Make's heap.

It's because it's such a low-level mechanism that they are having difficulties with its portability.

I don't hear about, for instance, the CLISP project having issues with the EXT:SAVEINITMEM function due to some GLibc support changing; it doesn't rely on that.
Presumably it reduces the number of support calls solved by "did you plug it in?"
This is the thing I keep saying. If we kick them off every other platform around rather than letting the community critique them, they'll move to echo chambers and new people won't be able to be introduced to their ideas through criticism, only through those echo chambers. Not only that, but these echo chambers tend to let conspiracy theories and misinformation brew and go wild.

I do hope they're successful in getting more users onboard. In many ways I like their libertarian-style free speech loving moderation stance personally, but I read invite only somewhere, which is concerning me even more. If they want to take a free speech stance, they need to respect that free speech needs to be for all, so we can critique and discuss these sorts of ideas.

Seems all too ripe to be an echo chamber as is. Guess we'll see how long the invite only thing lasts.
It was called XEmacs.
I'm not sure I understand, but this seems like a lot of work for little reward. Newer versions of Emacs function with the C library that's missing these dumper hooks and if you have a newer C library, you can update to a new version of Emacs.

This seems like a lot of work for people who want to stick with an older release.
> these kinds of applications.

As in research projects, which this project expressly states that it is? What are those reasons? It seems like being able to test theories as quickly and cheaply as possible is the top priority. If Python, a general purpose OS, and a CAN-USB adapter is sufficient to conduct the research and satisfies those attributes, it seems like the perfectly logical way forward.

I understand why you would want to move to such systems you describe once your research has concluded and you are now building something for production, but that is not the intent of this project, at least at this stage. It specifically says so.

As @STRML said, the difference is that Amazon is using network attached (EBS) storage as the primary instance storage, instead of local SSD. This provides a ton of benefit to Amazon, and some benefit for the user as well: CoW backend allows for nearly instant snapshots and clones, multi server/rack redundancy with EC, ability to scale up with provisioned IOPS easily, etc.

The downside is that the access methods for blocks mean some operations are more computationally and bandwidth intensive, meaning you will get fewer IOPS and less sustained throughput without paying more money. In addition, there is always going to be a bit more latency when going over the network versus a SAS RAID card.

As with all things in life, it's a tradeoff. If you look at other large providers' (GCE, DO at least) network storage offering, you'll also see a significant performance regression from local SSD.
Nope. If you get to the kernel it's game over.

Google is probably the one company is most dependent on their computing efficiency.

Google's most prominent products are possible only because they could deliver those with the unprecedented computing efficiency. This is not to be found anywhere else. For example, search, Gmail, Youtube.

Before AWS, Amazon care about efficiency. But fundamentally, Amazon do not depend on computing efficiency to support the company's bottom line, or at least only in a degree that is far less important compared to Google.
That's still a very striking omission of a feature.

Lambda isn't available in all zones, and not everyone has the time/ability/knowledge to set up such a thing. I'm sure I could do it, but only if I were to spend a few hours researching it, and probably a few nights working on such a solution. I'd also have to trust that I didn't mess it up -- I'd hate to have a bunch of traffic and NOT properly prevent the traffic.

This is the kind of thing that Amazon surely could provide easily if they wanted to.

It's like if your phone company didn't give you an option to limit your spending (prepaid), but said that you could use their arcane API to tell them each month to start/stop service. That's great, but not really very nice to customers.

App engine is the biggest enigma. On paper it is a near perfect cloud experience. It has a huge range of services covering the needs of most web applications: task queues, caching, RDBMS, storage, monitoring, logging, a fantastic dashboard; the list goes on and the scope of GCP and GAE in general is truly massive. At first glance the documentation is exhaustive, support quick, and you get the feeling that the product has the full backing of Google with many hundreds of engineers continually improving and iterating.

Yet then you get into the trenches of it and (IMO) you realize the sum of its parts is much less then the value of the individual pieces. You feel the pain of the documentation writers who had to transcribe examples and helper libraries to ten languages, "beta" features that have been out for years, "examples coming soon" in README's that are two years old.

Want to use python3? That's cool, use the flexible environment. But it doesn't support taskqueues or many other features.

Need websockets? Thats cool, we kinda have this socket API and similar for some languages and environments. It doesn't really work in the flexible environment though sorry :X.

All our python examples are in framework X, that's sufficient for everyone using framework Y, right?

Don't get me wrong, my company uses GAE and its benefits outweigh the costs for us. But there is a very real "Googliness" to the failings of the platform. The shear breadth and requirements of "fixing" and iterating on GAE must not be a very fun project to work on.
ISRO will launch 83 sats in one go in January, 2017
Vivado is required for all advanced features and programming Xilinx chips in general; like the sibling post said, there is no open FPGA toolchain implementation for Xilinx devices, especially for extremely high end ones like the ones being offered on the F1 (I expect they'd run at like, several thousand USD per device, on top of a several thousand dollar Vivado license for all the features).

It doesn't look like there's much AWS proprietary stuff here, though we'd have to wait for the SDK to be opened properly to be sure. I imagine it's mostly just making all of the stuff prepackaged and easily consumable for usage, and maybe some extra IP Cores or something for common stuff, and lots of examples. If you're already using Vivado I imagine using the F1/Cloud won't introduce any kind of major changes to what you expect.
