I think that's the exact delusion I'm referring to. I think many Sanders supporters genuinely believe that since they have a clear preference for a candidate, that their preference is the only valid option and other people simply aren't allowed to make their own choice.

Again, I refer to them as delusional because the '16 primary fight was about 1/3 as dirty as the '08 primaries, and somehow Sanders supporters feel being treated gently isn't good enough, what they expected was a clear majority of democratic voters to simply hand over the reins of the Democratic Party. They truly expected politics to revolutionize itself because of Sanders presidential run, and somehow tricks would not be a part of politics instantly and forevermore.

I think my big takeaway regarding the primaries is that most 'progressive' Sanders voters simply wanted to hurt the American establishment, and if they couldn't do it with Bernie they wanted to cry, pick up their ball, and go home.
For anyone not aware, the parent commenter, Andi Kleene, is an expert on TSX. When I last seriously looked in to TSX, around 2013, he was maintaining a fork of glibc with support for TSX-optimized pthread primitives and had written most of the high quality blog posts and information about TSX available online.

When I see posts like these, they creep me out. Another reminder that Facebook and all other online services, ad companies know way too much about their users and can deduce more information about you (in truly creative ways) than you imagined would be possible.

When I show these posts to people who resemble the average internet user, they just don't care. This is something that is saddening and baffling for me. I think it's just that most people don't understand why this is an issue to begin with and people need to be made aware of what is going on. The easiest way to start would be to discuss privacy issues with your closest family and friends.

This is a very ambitious attempt to replace complex and messy human powered business workflows with an AI system. Most current business uses of "AI" tackle tightly defined problems, like assigning invoices to a certain group, filtering out spam etc. Even if the implementation is successful, they will still have to retain quite a few people to deal with exceptions generated by the automated process.

It's built on top D3 and has the same limits (5k nodes 20k edges should not be a big problem). The "big" here is the ability to combine nodes, for two reasons:

1 Reduce the number of nodes and edges, thus increasing capacity

2 Combine nodes that should be seen together (e.g. alternative spellings and typos), to better deal with the variation-aspect of big data

> I thought people were doing defence work as contractors now, which is decently paid, as all contracting work.

"Contractor" does not mean the individuals doing the work are 1099 contractors. It means the work is done through government contracts to private companies. There is serious cost pressure on those contracts and the people actually doing the work are generally making below market compensation.

> Anyway, defence should be reasonable hours without week end works and on call. Not comparable to the average bro-grammer company.

If only. Sure, you can skate by doing that if you don't mind wallowing in a boring role with 3% (if you are lucky) annual raises. If you want any sort of decent career progression you'll be doing 50+ a week and doing whatever needs to be done to hit the often unrealistic delivery targets.
What are typical use cases for this?
Funny. The results keep coming back empty for me.

Acetaminophen is a interesting example - it's a very (centuries) old drug that predates the regulatory framework we have today. Some scholars (see ref. 1 for some history) suggest that it would not be approved by today's FDA.

It's thus a poor selection if one wishes to discredit the FDA's efficacy; indeed, some other widely-used therapeutics (e.g., aspirin) came into use before drug efficacy was required for new drug approval.

At the same time, there are numerous examples of drugs either not approved by the FDA or withdrawn from the US market by the FDA. It's not clear how less regulation would achieve this type of nation-wide safety benefit.

That still comes at a cost. The macro/lazyeval approch is usually seen as "zero cost" because the JIT engine usually only spends time inlining if it's a hot block.
I'm curious about your assertion of 'overly' regulating things leading to a net negative effect. Are there specific examples you're considering?
Having seen how these expert systems are created, replacement is way overdue. For example a team of 10 "senior mortgage professional" spend weeks of figuring out what difference it makes if the co-applicant's age is 60 or 62. They argue, and arrive to a conclusion that it increases the risk by 0.01 (whatever).

Event the simplest logistic regression training + evaluation will provide value to most insurance, mortgage or other money-related decision/"expert" systems.

To illustrate the functionality, the point of the original poster is a valid one. The interactions for managing 5k nodes are not necessarily the same as those for managing 10 nodes - not just in terms of performance, but also in how to make sense of all the information shown; so showing a realistic use case is required to assess the possibilities of the tool.
I am wary that these nature versus nurture studies will always find some way in which purchasing or investing in additional or more expensive schooling is key. That is until such time as genetic engineering become consumer available, then I imagine a slew of studies proving that people with x heritable trait succeed.

Awesome feedback here! Starting to see some patterns on what people expect it to do. Going to fix some of this today and post an update
You're correct: the limits on transaction size are unknown. That's mentioned in the documentation here https://github.com/scivey/xact/blob/master/docs/api/n_way.md

TSX is a black box in many ways, and I think we can expect its behavior to change over time and across implementations.

I'm not enforcing an arbitrary limit on transaction size because the primary goal is just to expose a simple C++ API to fundamental primitives. The TSX intrinsics are much more difficult to work with, and assembly is painful.

If that seems like a cop-out, consider that DCAS is effectively a transaction size of two. TSX appears to handle this trivially. Yet DCAS is already a very powerful operation, and is useful in itself.

As the docs emphasize, the goal is not general transactions but extended versions of the small atomic operations already in common use.

In terms of safety and opinionatedness, I think of XACT like a library of locking primitives: pthread_spinlock_t is very useful, but it will not stop you from introducing deadlocks. Likewise, I won't stop you from attempting transactions that are too large to succceed on current hardware. Ultimately, I expect anyone using this to test and benchmark their own code on their own machines.

Beyond a certain size, transactions will be less and less valuable even if they can be successfully completed: if you're attempting 64-way CAS, benchmarks are probably going to guide you toward traditional locking anyway.
And halfway through, it suddenly is swimming and not a marathon, you need to wear a tie, and whether you'll be racing in water or in lava is to be decided in the future.
What would the use case be? Humans can't parse that visually. At a number way lower than 20M, nodes and edges should be culled.
Lonely people tend to hang our more on social media, I guess. Lonely people are also better consumers.

The number of methods in the standard library really doesn't impact performance in a compiled language since you can tree shake the stuff that isn't used. And even if you don't tree shake having lots of methods isn't really a noticable performance loss in compile to binary languages since you don't need to spin up a VM

Not so, context matters. One of the drivers for anti child labour laws was to ensure that children were able to attend the free schooling that had been introduced. The driver was not preventing children from working per se, it was making sure they got an education. For example the long school summer holidays were a pragmatic compromise introduced to allow children to work on farms during harvest time. But if free schooling isn't available, or isn't provided up to the same age level, that motivation goes away.
As far as I understand, this is 'only' a UI layer on top of Docker and Docker Swarm. So this doesn't tackle any of the problems which Kubernetes (or Docker Swarm, for that matter) would, like scheduling and service discovery. Two very different things, really.
At some point you run out of pixels on your screen to visualize it all at once. My suggestion in your case is to not use a graph at the beginning, but rather grouping nodes based on metrics. Like degree (group all contacts of a node that only has a single contact), communities, or value (e.g. IP's in a subnet).
Today you have learned something new about your Senator.
On a side note, the "right-click to select nodes" doesn't work well in Firefox, with its "always show context menu" option. At the "up" event, the context menu shows and the selection is erased.

In general, using right click on web applications is a terrible idea, since the standard function in browsers is to show a context menu for the clicked element. IMHO a lightweight selection mode or quasimode would work better.

It's probably worth noting to the US audience that salaries in Europe are almost always quoted as net, with (usually) no further taxes due.

So if someone's getting $2.5K per month it's not the same as an American getting 12x that in annual salary, because it's (presumably) the after-tax number in Romania while it'd be the pre-tax number in the US.

Still, I get that tech talent is a great value in Romania. I wonder if there's a problem finding good people because so many would go to the West to make more money. But it seems the OP solves that problem by hiring beginners, which is probably what I'd do.

Oddly, the people you're asking to implement this harm reduction plan are often making the same mistakes as those who would "benefit" from the regulations.

I'm no expert, but this feels more cyclical than "end of an era", unless you consider an era to be only 5-10 years.

If you look at the Dow (I know I know, small sample) over the last 10 years[0], it doesn't take a genius to see the emotions of the market over that time have been unease (year 1), panic (year 2), reluctance (year 3-6), and opportunistic (years 8-10).

After the next major correction, I wouldn't be surprised to see investors move back to hedge funds.

Wages at Foxconn and similar firms are way above subsistence levels. They're far above mean wages for industrial workers in China too, plus Apple specifically writes pay increments into their contracts with the manufacturers to attract the best workers, which is why workers prefer to work on the Apple lines to the ones for Samsung, Microsoft, etc which have laxer standards and don't pay as well.
They do provide a GPO object to turn off the "Telemetry" for Enterprise versions.

But it still installs the entire Windows store with Candy Crush Saga, Facebook, Minecraft, XBOX, etc. and they make it nearly impossible to remove. Why on earth they would force that crap down the throat of their ENTERPRISE customers is beyond me.

I fought with it for months and finally gave up and cancelled the deployment project until MS offers a better way for enterprises to control the Window Store.

Update: Added more below

IE: When trying to build a secure environment, you must eliminate all unnecessary attack surfaces. The customer did not need "XboxIdentityProvider" installed their Windows 10 Enterprise environment. But this is something MS feels must be installed on all Windows 10 PCs thus they made it nearly impossible to remove.

> had no profits at all.

It's mainly because they actually suffered losses, which is why Apple's share can be more than 100%.
I think that contracting is also similar in automotive, as the OEMs mostly work on the requirements and integration parts and most of the component development is done by external contractors.

However contractors there will rarely mean individuals. It's mostly medium to very large companies (Tier-1 suppliers) themselves. As these are usually under cost pressure it's often not that well paid.
I only skimmed, but it indicated that 34% of a pool of ("primarily") 47 workers would be replaced.

So ... 16 employees. I suppose that's interesting, but it's not as big as the headline made me believe.
This sentiment is actually very interesting to me. I had (/have?) the same kind of sentiment toward Go, but when I spent time playing with it recently I realized just how close to C it actually is. Enough so that when someone says it's a C replacement, I can actually see where they're coming from/somewhat agree with them. And the reason for that is that Go actually seems to follow a lot of C conventions pretty darn closely, and not provide as high level of an interface as Java does. You're much more likely to work in raw "arrays" (aka: slices) in Go than you are in Java, it doesn't have generics, "classes" are structs that are defined very similarly to structs in C, error codes as return values, etc. The main differences that are adding to C as far as I'm currently aware are interfaces, the ability to add a "method" to a type (which is effectively the same as calling a function with a type as the first argument, except in the case of interfaces), and the garbage collector. All of which, to me, feel like a kind of evolution on C. A different path instead of C++ in a way. While people would argue that having a GC ruins what C is good at, it can also be viewed as a version of C that's much more memory safe, while still allowing you to dip into very low level if you need to.

...there's probably some other stuff I could say, and probably more coherently, but it's early (for me) and I kind of just wanted to get that thought out there. I hope it's at least a bit thought-provoking, or something. If not, well, my apologies for rambling at you ;)

Spamhaus issue advice needed
Hi, everyone I will like to share my story in regard the spamhaus.

2 days ago I registered few domain names. I haven't worked on the domains yet but I found all the domains I bought into their list. So, I am thinking how possible is all of my domains without any work to be listed into their list ?

Also I notice something very goog in this website and I wanted to share it with you. When I was searching where to get some advice I found this website and when I post the domain I was refereeing the Y show me a message "Stop spamming us you are waiting your time" Good sign of course But not my intention. I do not know any coding or any programming skills to do that.
Anyway... What is spamhause and what is the coincidence for all the domains to be listed there ? Anyone who can advice me ?
