In many urban areas, rent is not $1000 a month, let alone $2000 or $3000. In smaller cities you can often find rooms for $250-$500, although that seems to be changing very quickly in my area. Jobs often pay less too.
In all seriousness I feel like the administration is already compromised so why would they need any Cyber Security. It seems they have a very close and personal relationship with Putin and Russia. Could they have also given up the two Russian Security guys that were passing information on to the previous administration as a gift to Putin for his help in the election?

This story just gets more interesting all the time.

Postgres and Redshift should not be considered equivalent. It's true that Redshift originated as a fork of Postgres 8, but Postgres has come a _long_ way since then and is quite different.

On top of that, Redshift is columnar database, which is an entirely different animal than vanilla Postgres (or any other DBMS).

>Sorry, I don't quite understand the explanation...

define a

struct S{char flag, data[63];}

then do

foreach s in std::vector<S>(big number){
if s.flag == 0{ //set this variable to be very rarely 0
do_something_with(s.data);
}

this will load the entire struct into memory each iteration because loads from memory happen on cacheline granularity (i.e. 64 bytes at a time)

then the optimized version is

>And are you using the same number of instructions in both cases?

//define S as struct of arrays now
struct S{char* flags, (*data)[63];}
s = initialize_S(big number);
for(i = 0; i < big number; i++){
if s.flags[i] == 0{ //set this variable to be very rarely 0
do_something_with(s.data, i);
}

This one will load 64 flags into the L1 cache at a time. because the L1 cache is much much faster than main memory access time will be ~64x faster for the checking of the flags. Because it is rare for the loop to enter the if, this means the overal speed will be ~64x faster. As proven by the graph I posted where it is about 16x faster (because I use an int instead of a byte as flag).

Syntax is slightly different between SoA and AoS, but functionally they are the same except for how multiple S's are laid out in memory.

>And are you using the same number of instructions in both cases?
>Note also: If you are moving data structures of different sizes, you are not using the same number of instructions(calculations), as the challenge required.

The same number of instructions is an arbitrary and impossible task. I'm not going to handwrite assembly for some internet points, I only do that for fun ;). Do they perform the same amount of cpu work though, yes. They are functionally the same and use the same types of instructions. That's about as good as anyone can get it. In any case, the program is completely limited by memory throughput not computation. I could make one of the inner loops a sqrt and the other a nop and the difference would be the exact same.

If you really want to see it in assembly to prove it uses the same amount of instructions, then it's just a mov rax, [rcx], cmp rax, r8, je INNER_FUNCTION, inc rcx {sizeof(S),1} depending on the method. Add 0x90 where appropriate to match instruction counts. The rest is left as an exercise to the reader.
Renting out properties is a huge hassle. My family spent a lot of time in real estate and I got to hear the headaches (which is why I didn't follow in their footsteps). Frankly, I'm pretty sure you're just being bitter and aren't helping the conversation.
Or worse- yet another article that attempts to make people feel bad for using the wealth they've obtained over the course of their life for making their children "privileged"
The immediate problem with the method of developing your formula that is described is that it assumed that the pay of your staff before you had a systematic formula already accurately reflected prevailing market wages in the locality of every employee.

And, for US locations, BLS data is readily available publicly. While that may not have been a suitable source for a worldwide formula, it would have at least been a suitable reality check on the validity of the formula you came up with to see if it reasonably approximated the variations in market rates within the US.
Why? The argument being made is that the workers should suck it up and accept the low pay and grueling working conditions because of the importance of the work Tesla is doing. If you accept this argument, then why can't I also say that you should simply accept that giving up on your commitments to your family is also a necessary sacrifice?
I actually did these 2 exact tests not a while ago. Thyroid was negative but they recorded that I have short apnea under 10s. Which put me in the mild apnea group, where you don't necessarily need further investigations.

The samples are open source. They extend and use F# which is open source. The page that is linked to doesn't say anything about open source, just that it's on GitHub. (It also says it runs on Linux and .Net, both of which are...)

The person that I was replying to said that the title claimed it was open source. I didn't see that. It seemed like they were just complaining because didn't look like every other GitHub repo.

I don't think that there was 'misinformation'...but thanks to thought police HN is still free of people trying to subvert open source software by releasing research tools for free? Yay. We're saved.

EDIT: Was calling it crippled 'misinformation'? There doesn't seem to be anything impairing its operation from the reading that I did.
Well.. You edited the question before I could see it so now you got me curious :). Feel free to shoot, this is the internet and a semi-anonymous persona.
I'm mostly convinced that most companies interested in Big Data stuff are not as interested in the scale of the problem but that they want to create "data lakes" to unite thousands of different forms of data that exist in their organization under a federated, centralized database of some sort. But most of us experienced in either enterprise companies or machine learning is that data quality is the primary problem that almost nobody actually can solve without brute force human eyeballs, which simply won't scale with the amount of data pouring in. So now there's interest in machine learning primarily to try to do that instead of people.

Oh, that is great! We even have an one click instant deploy Heroku gaming server https://github.com/gundb/gaming !

However, you are right, that will just run "in-memory" (and I think that URL is using an old version of the database).

But! No fear, there are adapters that connect to Amazon S3 (or others, you can connect to other storage engines, like Level - which in turn can connect to pretty much anything else). The S3 route is awesome because it means...

1. Multiple Heroku instances will still have persistent data across many reboots.

2. You don't have to worry about any Heroku plugin configuration / buildpack stuff.

3. S3 is ridiculously cheap, and you can even set it to auto-delete stuff after a month (in case you don't want to pay for long term storage).

Plus, there is no vendor lock in, so you can easily switch away later.

Amusing observation. Having had 10, 15, 20, and 100-year-old scotch, I must admit, I couldn't really tell the difference, other than price. Yeah, they tasted a bit different, but so do Aberfeldy and Ardbeg. I wouldn't say one is any better than the other though; unless you really like the smokey taste of old pianos, then Ardbeg is definitely the best.
> That's not really true, as JS engines will already compile things with the assumption that the types won't change and "bail out" if they do.

Which makes for some great benchmarks but poor real world results.
In my condo building a lot of people who have moved out (out of town, out of state) they keep renting their places out with the help of a local realtor/manager that takes a cut and is supposed to deal with stuff. They don't really, and the volunteer condo board ends up dealing with a lot of the loose ends.

Based on the how much rent is in Boston are, there is a strong , strong, strong incentive to rent out. I could make about 3x my mortgage/fees by renting my place in cambridge which I bought early part of this century (of course where would I live...).

Since we have about 50% owner occupied, and the tenants are paying a lot, so they expect a lot.

Its becoming a city for rich people and students. I can understand the resentment. I think it hurts the region.
I've set my capslock to be escape and my alt to be control. I don't know where my alt is, but I've never really used it.

Probably. You can fix that by standing taller though.
Not a fan of Trump's policies, actions or attitudes here, but this 'article' wasn't much more than a series of rumours, guesses and third had accounts gathered together on one page. One could infer many things from this story, and that does a disservice to the journalism profession.

If providers are serious about stamping out the constant cries of 'fake news', I would like to think that articles be more well researched, and solid & verifiable proof of evidence is found, and presented in a way that cannot be refuted or challenged.
>The choice of career path matters. Those in the art and design fields get the most help, an average of $3,600 a year. People who work in farming, construction, retail and personal services get the least.

Your own server + command line
Yep, that's what I just noticed too. Interesting how a story about unionization gets pushed down.

It will be interesting to see if any tech news sites pick up on this story at all. It seems like anything to do with labour/unions gets ignored.
To be fair, this happens in dysfunctional organizations that are all on-site, too. There's no good excuse for being that disorganized, but it happens all too often.
Yeah, this will affect any language that stores structs as POD (plain old data) as long as it has somewhat sensible alignment rules and allocation (i.e. doesn't hide every struct behind a pointer, doesn't align char's to 8 bytes).
It's certainly not the only factor is cost increase, but that cost will almost certainly be passed onto the buyer if the market will bare it.
Eh. Usage of checks in the US always puzzled me but now that we have smartphones with direct access to our bank and it seems even weirder to still do things with checks (vs cash).
The whole point of LISTEN/NOTIFY is that it's transaction safe! Not sure where you got that idea.

Not only is NOTIFY transactional, so is LISTEN.

The only serious limitation I can think of: There was some talk, long ago, about propagating notifications via the WAL, so that LISTEN could work on a read-only slave. I don't know if this was implemented.
You didn't ask about BitBucket, but it's worth a mention.

Unlimited free repositories, and it plays nicely with JIRA (and Confluence), if you use them. Even if you don't use those tools, it's a notable private alternative to GitHub.
10gigE seams fast, but in reality it's only 1.25GB/s in an ideal case. One enterprise PCIe SSD drive will saturate that. Or 5x of the old style 3.5 inch 7.2k RPM drives (you can fit 12 of these in a dense 1U case).

That why you see 40gigE or 56gigE used in HPC.

From the sellers side, the agent makes sense. Although I would argue a flat or time based fee is more appropriate than a percentage of sale price. The buying agent delivers relatively little value once the purchase agreement has been signed so I would argue they are essentially rent seekers.

This might be an extreme example that won't work for other reasons, but generally adding more lanes will increase demand, so you still won't have enough lanes.

Hey, that's not what he said - don't put words in his mouth!
Perhaps the union can continue to exist, perhaps not, but the workers certainly shouldn't suffer a private tax. It must be nice being able to tax a group of workers like that, needing only to hand over a cut to the politicians to ensure that the private tax can be enforced.

From the worker's point of view, the continued viability of the union is "not my problem".

Maybe I can dip into your paycheck? Perhaps I should give a cut to your governor, ensuring I get some enforcement. Not that you wouldn't love to pay me of course, but you might forget. Actually, let's just take it out of your paycheck. I need a new car.
I'd prefer talent and scotch on a cheap Yamaha any day.
That is a very simplistic analysis.

1. Infrastructure is incredibly expensive in dense urban areas.

A road/rail tunnel can cost upwards of $100 million per mile (a few projects have run at close to $1 billion per mile).

Likewise buying back land to add an extra lane to a road can run into hundreds of millions of $$$.

Infrastructure like electricity is indeed more expensive for rural areas but often cheaper for low-medium density cities - overhead power lines are 5-10x cheaper than underground lines.

2. A lot of the subsidies for rural areas are actually to help businesses and farming and benefit the major cities.

E.g. Prices in our cities would increase enourmosly if we didn't have a good interstate highway system.

And gas subsidies mostly benefit trucking and farmers.

Don't complain about the money and don't complain about my flawed illogical mock-up. But please, do take the blame in the end though, for my useless product.
The renting is a bit of a red herring; the headline could easily read "Their parents help with the bills" (and in the article, it actually says "receive some financial assistance from their parents for living expenses", rather than rent specifically).

It is a surprise to me that it's also common in Germany though: the perception that it is a 'renters'-country led me to believe that the rents were relatively affordable (as a result of protections like rent control). But I guess even "relatively affordable" can be challenging for an under-25 in today's economy.

Well, part of the reason is that your local microbrew (unless it's a light pilsner which few are) is probably a very different style from the Coors Light. Compare Coors Light to a low-alcohol non-hoppy craft lager and telling them apart will be a lot harder than distinguishing it from a hoppy IPA.
It's an abuse of HN to use it primarily for political or ideological battle. Since you've ignored our repeated requests to stop doing that, we've banned your account.

HN exists for the gratification of intellectual curiosity. We can't be both that and a political battlefield, much as one can't go hiking in a forest fire: the one destroys the other.
Occasional flareups are unavoidable, but when an account begins to use HN primarily for political battle, that clearly violates the intended use of the site.

The reason for this is exeedingly simple.

Marx theorised that instead of seeing the people behind transactions, rather we focus solely on the trade itself, the commodities involved. This is a simplification of the theory of commodity fetishism, so to say that commodities are fetishised by focusing on one particular aspect of the product rather than the whole web connecting the products, buyers, sellers, labourers etc.

And actually, developers are merely capital. Their labour time is purchased, just as the computer is purchased, or the loom or silk or bale of cotton. It's simply a transaction which is factored into all the other costs, there's nothing special about labour.

From Wage Labour and Capital:

>Consequently, it appears that the capitalist buys their labour with money, and that for money they sell him their labour. But this is merely an illusion. What they actually sell to the capitalist for money is their labour-power. This labour-power the capitalist buys for a day, a week, a month, etc. And after he has bought it, he uses it up by letting the worker labour during the stipulated time. With the same amount of money with which the capitalist has bought their labour-power (for example, with two shillings) he could have bought a certain amount of sugar or of any other commodity. The two shillings with which he bought 20 pounds of sugar is the price of the 20 pounds of sugar. The two shillings with which he bought 12 hours' use of labour-power, is the price of 12 hours' labour. Labour-power, then, is a commodity, no more, no less so than is the sugar. The first is measured by the clock, the other by the scales.

Thank you for mentioning how linearly scaling income with CoL is inaccurate. This comes up a lot in /r/personalfinance and /r/financialindependence and people are always getting it wrong. This particular paragraph really rankled me:

> In Austin, the average salary for a software engineer on Hired is $110K. But this is the equivalent to making $198K in San Francisco when you consider the cost of living difference between the two cities.

Sure, I'm willing to believe that the CoL is 80% higher in San Francisco than Austin, if you take no measures to control expenses. But for the reasons you point out, by no means does that mean that your salary is effectively 80% higher in Austin. The only way this calculation makes sense is if you are spending 100% of your income, and only on goods that are more expensive in the higher CoL area! Rent would count for that, but electronics sure don't. Most of the physical things that you buy, and of course any vacations you take, don't get more expensive at all in a higher CoL city. Hell, the vacations likely are less expensive in a high CoL city, because you're near a big international airport with lots of outbound flights.
The fact that they didn't even bother listing Vancouver, BC speaks for itself.
