How MooTools was built
That's just a bit different to Intel Turbo Boost which has been widely deployed for a while. When fewer cores are needed it will increase clock speed on a small number of cores if there is work to do.

Some BIOSes have settings to completely disable a bunch of cores to enable more turbo boosting.

This isn't as sophisticated in thermal as what you outlined, but it saves on cache coherence.
Both LSB and whatever Fedora was doing before were one small patch away from working for their purposes... so they created an entirely new format instead of trying to cooperate with anybody else.
Node video upload/playback
Yes, and it wears the engines out much faster than any lower setting would. Grandparent post has a point, though it probably does have to do with recovering as quickly as possible.
On Android, it has worked well for me for simple things (e.g. "Remind me to take my laundry off the hanger tomorrow at 15:00"). Have not tried anything fancy, though.

A coworker once told his smartphone, "Tell me a dirty joke". It kind of worked, it opened a web search for "dirty joke". Cortana really impressed me by actually telling a joke; it was about dirty laundry (but I suspect that was intentional to avoid offending people). ;-)

Yeah. And additionally, how people get access to the money may also be different. With UBI, most likely people register once and then receive the income without incident indefinitely, and only need to work out taxation if they're employed. Whereas NIT likely requires people to continually submit tax returns stating their lack of income (which is potentially more stigmatising).

In my first years of college I was a semester behind. I made up for that in 2 weeks of Christmas break.

That was the first and last time I dreamt of Java.

Yes, this is quite common.

Different types of code dreams are common too - code nightmares where you get caught in small, infinite loops or are unable to escape oscillation between a small set of bad operations

Or happy code dreams where you float above the system and observe high levels of interaction and execution, watching data flow like water, and execution happen rythmically like beats of music.
Okay, that's a good explanation of why this is wrong. Cool!
Kudos to your determination! I hope you find a path where it starts clicking.

Sure, but what does "similar slowdown" mean?

The headline says "20%", which would imply that a "similar slowdown" for a 100 milliseconds response would bring it to 120 milliseconds.

But what is actually happening is that every request takes roughly an extra 0.04 milliseconds, so the time might go up to 100.04 milliseconds, probably within margin of error for most services anyway.

I question that project's long-term viability. Event loop based languages inherently limit systems to inefficient and unreliable concurrency models.

I have a dream that one day rustc will be able to output go-mangled-symbols with lifetimes integrating into the Go GC. My dream is that we can flesh out a project in Go for good performance and then extend it in Rust without stack swapping. Then we can bash out projects in Go and still have face melting performance with zero overhead abstractions. Go and Rust should be besties!

Uncertainty in Deep Learning – Yarin Gal (Cambridge Thesis, 2016) [pdf]
Whilst for major upgrades that might make sense, what about instances like a high risk security fix where upgrade speed is important... People don't want to be re-building from scratch in that kind of setup...
Yep. I love it when that happens. Happens especially when writing complex code instead of just rattling off CRUD. The best time was when I worked for months on a Prolog project for uni, every day, all day with very complex concepts to crack. During the day when I went outside, my brain transformed everything in Prolog clauses; cars, roads, houses, bikes, people talking to me. And at night my dreams were in code as well. I now have it when doing embedded code or game code.

Edit: Come to think of it, this 'free shrooms' experience is reason enough to not do CRUD apps :)
You make it sound like sex-driven marketing is the picture of fun, healthy, body and sex positive thinking. Instead, this kind of marketing usually sets the viewer up as somehow too deficient to achieve the awesome sex on display: too fat, ugly, inhibited, unfashionable, whatever - and then sells them a product to solve that deficiency. If this kind of marketing is on its way out, I say good riddance.
There's an argument that when the current s-curve (sigmoid) starts to reach its limit we start looking for other ways of obtaining improvements, such that over time we have a series of sigmoids and overall exponential progress... until the final sigmoid.

Platform "lock-in" and "openness" are not mutually exclusive.

Lock-in refers to how that platform affects your options for deployment.

Openness refers to how that platform is being developed.

A platform can be designed in an open way, but if it only works in one environment (e.g. browser) you might consider that to be "locked in". As in, you are "locked" into using a browser for deploying your application.

Vulkan is open, in the sense that it is an open standard. It's managed in a way that allows a wide variety of people/companies to contribute to it's design and implementation.

Vulkan as an API is an abstract model for how a GPU works. Everyone codes to that spec, and they can work on a wide variety of systems. So you are not locked in to a limited set of systems.

In fact, if you wanted to make your own Vulkan implementation you could, and there is a lot of documentation, conformance tests, etc to help with that.

Supporting multiple backends naturally requires an abstract API on top to handle the inconsistencies in the underlying systems. A new API naturally means that existing code would need to be refactored to work with it. If that API only serves the purpose of executing within a specific context, you might consider that to be "lock-in" for that platform.
Using predictive analytics to spot students in danger of dropping out
Reminds me of something Seymour Cray (allegedly) once said: "Anyone can build a fast processor - the trick is to build a fast computer around it". Given the performance boost an SSD gives, I imagine there's some room left for improving overall system architecture without increasing the clock speed of the CPU or replacing the CPU at all.

Yes, but not in the literal sense for me. I never see any text or code but rather some abstract version of the problem I'm trying to solve. I dislike it to be honest, it makes me feel like I'm not getting any rest, especially when I wake up in the middle of the night from a code dream only to continue in that loop while I'm half awake.

One time I went to sleep after starting a take home code test for a job interview; I woke up a few hours later having some intense dreams about it and ended up knowing exactly what to do. I finished it at 4am. I didn't end up getting the job, but they said during the interview they really liked the code.
And while i can't pull another example out of a hat right now, i am sure i have seen other examples of systemd being pedantic about information nobody else have relied on before, and in the process getting its panties in a twist.

Lenny is a best-of-breed incoming telemarketer baiting system. It simulates a kindly but slightly addled old man--the perfect target for scammers--and through a simple Asterix system that waits for a pause, then plays a random response, can fool the telemarketer into repeating themselves over and over.

It's remarkably effective at wasting telemarketers' time. I once received a tech support scam call and I managed to conference in Lenny right at the start. The call lasted 40 minutes; they kept shuffling Lenny around to different people so it took forever for them to realize it was looping.

Now whenever I get a telemarketer call on my cell--illegal in the U.S., but no one seems able to do anything about VoIP calls from India--I rush to conference in Lenny and hope it "takes". Sometimes they stay on the phone but usually they disconnect. Lenny's starting to become famous!

The next phase in this war is speech recognition. If the answer bot can pull out a key word like "Windows" or "virus" and repeat it back to the telemarketer ("Virus? I have a virus? Oh, what do I do?"), it is highly likely to pass the Turing test and waste an extra ten minutes of the poor scammer's time.

The point of the UN has always been - since its establishment - to keep the nuclear powers from going all-out on each other (and the rest of the world).

You may not like the UN, you may not think it fulfills the mandate that the General Audience gives it (it doesn't). But it keeps the Security Council from nuking each other.

And in this case - that's the design criteria. No nuclear wars, not ever. Nothing more, nothing less.

Not really. My observations go for intra-European flights, though.

You're usually also not yelled at when queuing for the loo, provided the seat-belt sign is off.

What I do notice a lot, though, is passengers that unbuckle half a second after touch down.

To me this seems incredibly stupid.

For starters: it's really dangerous to them and by extension to their fellow passengers and to emphasize the idiocy: They're off the plane exatly zero seconds earlier than when they just stay buckled up until the plane arrives at the gate.

Personally, I just stay buckled up, while sitting. The inconvenience is minor. Especially compared to the inconvenience when your head crashes through the overhead bin, due to sudden turbulences.

> There was a regression and it's bothering people, there really is no getting around that.

The reason people are bothered though is based on a synthetic benchmark that blows this out of proportion. Someone's already pointed that out and things have calmed down.

> However, personally, I feel that there should be a point release to revert the regression instead of waiting for a major release.

And if there was a significant regression I'm sure that would happen. However, Go has set forward the way they do releases: https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Go-Release-Cycle

More specifically:

> A minor release is issued to address one or more critical problem for which there is no workaround (typically related to stability or security). The only code changes included in the release are the fixes for the specific critical problems. Important documentation-only changes may also be included as well, but nothing more.

If this regression can be properly quantified to fall in those categories, then a point release will be issued to fix it. But an at-worst half a micro-second overhead on a synthetic hello-world benchmark really doesn't fall into either of those categories.

From that issue thread:

> So from @OneOfOne's test, go tip made 5110713 requests in 30 seconds, that's 5.87us per request. Go 1.7.5 did 5631803 requests in 30 seconds, 5.33us per request. So when you compare those to eachother, that's like an 11% performance decrease. But if you look at it from an absolute perspective, that's a performance hit of just a half microsecond per request. I can't even imagine an HTTP service where this would be relevant.

There are many people in the Go community that do canary deployments of their services on new Go versions throughout the whole cycle. If anything major really was related to this I'm fairly certain it would've been surfaced already.

All that aside, this kind of benchmarking should have been done during the beta phase. It's even explicitly asked of the community to do so. No changes related to this were merged during the RC-cycle either.

I can't find a single compelling reason why they should break the normal release cycle over this regression.
I think it's an interesting question as to what effect NIT/UBI would have on the labour market.

On the one hand, it's a labour subsidy, so employers theoretically don't need to pay as much to offer a decent quality of life as an incentive. But on other hand, people no longer need a job to survive, which reduces the incentive to work.

I think the end result here might be a notable improvement in job quality. When you're not struggling to survive, it's much easier to weigh job quality in your decisions, and take less money in exchange for a more pleasant job. In particular, I think a lot of service jobs, could be more enjoyable if companies actually had to care about work environment.

I had the exact same thought. On top of that, the fact that he did this before the post on Rust is strange. Why publish them out of order? Reading this first would have made it clear that he already had a strong bias towards Go, and also would have showed the Rust community what it was in detail that he liked in Go, so as not to have inflamed so many who love Rust.

It seems at this point clear to me, that the previous Rust piece was written out of sheer frustration, and that the entire period while "learning" Rust he really wanted to be writing in Go, which he had already found to enjoy. This is understandable, but creates a clear bias; which is completely fine, but would have been nicer to see this for that reason.

Everyone's experiences are going to lead them in different directions. I learned Go, decided it was missing features that I really wanted, and that's when I decided to learn Rust. That was a decision driven as much from comfort with a language as it was technical. Which brings me back to his original Rust post, it was written as though comparing two languages on their technical merit, when in reality (after reading this post) it was really about comfort. Again this is fine, and would have been clearer if posted in the original order.
I've never heard of this, and yet I've read a number of think-pieces that have been on the front page lambasting the ad networks for letting sketchy ads through.

> Worst part of the article: the recommendations at the end.

> The author lists a kitchen sink full of privacy tools including Telegram, which the entire infosec community agrees is terrible. Do not use Telegram.

> Use Tor, use Signal.

Usability, or lack of annoyances, will always trump security and privacy. Tor is way too slow for most purposes. In my experience, I don't believe it can be a generic mass solution (people in most places around the world already have slow connections - sharing that with others would be the last thing they'd want to do, even though more people running Tor means it gets better, on average, for everyone).

Signal is way too deficient on features and usability compared to Telegram. I want to get out of Telegram and use Signal, but it's at least a few years behind Telegram in various ways (speed, features, lack of good desktop options, relying only on phone number with no usernames or other ways to add/establish contacts, and more). By the time Signal catches up, I believe Telegram would be far ahead again. For messaging and privacy, what would be better to have is a decentralized system that has good usability, multi-device support and can become popular.
