GCC is part of spec2006, which they optimize for.

But the actual compilers people use (IE not that version of GCC) are rarely well-optimized for CPU.
In fact, most compiler profiles are not flat yet, and where your compilation takes a long time, it's because some optimization or algorithm has gone nuts and needs to be fixed.

Until that kind of state of the world changes, measuring compile time is IMHO, a bit pointless, because they are only artificially CPU bound, and not in a way that is useful to benchmark
(IE while i understand that people use these compilers every day, and care about performance, i'm just saying that, given a compiler benchmark, i could still probably make it take zero time with limited amounts of work)
I see propaganda as very indicative of future conflicts, especially in countries like Russia, where the news stories are more heavily influenced by the government.

I think propaganda is necessary to support a war effort (and avoid insurrection). Think of it this way: If you're a soldier and your government tells you to invade a random country with nice people, how willing are you to fight? On the other hand, if your government convinces you that the target country is full of Nazis that eat babies and plan to genocide your people, then suddenly you're a hero if you go kill a bunch of strangers who never did anything to you.

So if you're running a country and you want to invade another country, you better start running the propaganda months, if not years, in advance.

Edit: As another example, take the Iraq War. The US and NATO didn't just randomly invade Iraq without propaganda preparation. Bush was even calling Iraq part of the "axis of evil" for at least a year before the Iraq war.
What's the point of conscription? Surely there must be a good reason. Boosting the numbers of your military by forcefully bringing in some barely-motivated, hardly-trained conscripts that are discharged just a few months after completing basic training seems ineffective.

Is there some larger "get the public used to military service" social goal?
>The hoppiness can also hide a lot of problems in the beer.

A common myth, the hardest part of a pils is maybe the decoction mash and having good water. IPAs and DIPAs are much more complex recipes requiring several steps post-fermentation, pils really just needs to be lagered.

Any commercial brewery will have solved sanitation and 90% of off-flavors, they don't brew IPA because they are easy, they do it because they sell.

I had no idea of the hype around this particular beer.

My friend in MA had some in his fridge, I cracked one open and it wasn't particularly life-changing - another hoppy IPA.

You can uncheck it in stable releases, but not in beta releases. This is so we can track error rates, crashes etc to make sure the stable releases are actually stable :)
It's funny that you cite CoD4 as an example of this because the first weapons and arguably the first perks are among the best in the game.

I don't know about later games in the series, but CoD4 handled sidegrades extremely well. You only ever unlocked options, not improvements. Giving players all options up front is daunting. Giving it to them in a slow trickle is fun and helps them learn things.
It could be difficult to see the forest for the trees. In this model the sea level rising would flood many of the largest cities on earth, resources would certainly be focused on managing the onslaught of climate refugees that result.

OTOH, the Manhattan Project occurred during a time of near-total war; so there's hope.

>The thing is, the user experience of Uber, Lyft et al is strictly better than public transport. Some would even say it is 10x better (in the From Zero to One sense).

A bus can transport about 60 people in footprint of 2-3 cars (which would transport about 15). There is no way a transportation system that revolves around everyone getting into cabs is going to match that sort of efficiency. The "user experience' of such a service that ignores externalities like forcing people to sit in traffic (raising travel times and prices) is not a good analysis.

Also, many people don't think that having to walk a few blocks as part of a journey is some kind of crazy physical burden.
It's cheap.

On the other hand, the professional army in Sweden is largely recruited out of the conscripted soldiers, and unless it's propaganda they are considered to be professional and reliable, for instance in recent missions in Afghanistan etc.

It was a long time ago 99% of the men where forced to do their military service. The idea is that you are forced to at least go through a recruitment process and/or a short introductory education, you can swoop up those that are talented but uninterested initially, but might reconsider.

I think you are right in that if you can't attract motivated and talented people, you should fix that rather than force people.

In my own case, the idea of mandatory training did more harm than good as it just pissed me off on principle... I got drafted to a probably quite interesting service actually - that I likely would not have appreciated. But as the Soviet union just had collapsed, someone decided that they could spend the money on something else before I actually started, so I did never find out.
Those things also created massive waves of unemployment that took multiple generations to adapt to, so no difference is needed.

Furthermore, there is considerable worry that the waves of innovation are accelerating and our social/educational models will need to change massively to keep up with the pace, otherwise the waves of innovation will occur faster than we adapt to them.

My solution is to end our reliance on "jobs" for survival.

This can be done by building machines that produce everything necessary for human survival, and making those machines as low cost as possible.

In general I refer to these machines as "survival machines", and I see them as somewhat similar to a computer operating system but for human beings.

I've written a few essays about this concept, and am actively developing robotic hardware to build the first prototypes now.

I personally don't care to discuss the feelings of strangers. It seems silly to do. In this context the feelings of some strangers is really only valuable to me if the feelings are justified by data. If there's reasonable evidence that can be shown that the feelings are justified, then I'm happy to get on board to help resolve the issue. If you just want to whine about your feelings, talk to someone who is emotionally close to you.
That's good information but still doesn't tell us that these cpus support ECC, right? Maybe the motherboard fully supports ECC when used with a future 1800X-PRO but not with the 3 chips reviewed here.

In that case anandtech saying "We know that it is disabled for the consumer parts" and ASRock saying "ASRock AM4 motherboards fully support ECC function" can both be true.

Yeap, if they're going to shoot other people, might as well make it official.

> it doesn't matter if that 90% happens in 2 months or 2 years.

It does. If you must sell your house this week you'll get a lower price than if you can afford to wait for a year for the most eager buyer who's in love with the place. The effect is more pronounced with selling stock in a private company which is much, much harder to price than a house.

> it's still going to happen without cash or a change at the company.

It depends on why you lose money. If you lose money because you acquire many users and lose money on every user, you need to "change" the company in the sense of finding a way to make money on every user, enough to cover your more or less fixed expenses and then some. If you lose money because you're building a product and haven't reached mass production either because it takes a lot of time to ramp up production or because it takes time for demand to show up, say for regulatory reasons, then the "change" is simply getting to mass production. In the latter case, having more money is (in a way) getting you closer to that welcome "change" than in the former.

Docker has always been freemium. Not sure why you'd fear that even if it weren't the case. IMO freemium OSS is a good thing, this is how "free" software gets funded.

Ask HN: Will the 'Trump bump' last?
Trump's election appears to have ignited a surge of optimism in investors. It feels like a sugar high, but I could be wrong, and I feel like the HN community may be able to provide some good insights for making investment decisions. Any thoughts?
I agree. This is less a description of best practices and more of a stream of consciousness about Lambda.
It may be only a name change today, but relabeling the docker to 'CE' opens up a world of possibilities where 'enterprise features' get shipped in the 'EE' and the 'CE' turns into watered down freemiumware. Honestly I don't believe that this 'clarifies' an existing relationship. DDC was the product and the locked down engine was just a part of that product. This makes it excruciatingly clear that DDC failed to take off and now we're going another level down to making the engine itself a product, which comes with all sorts of questions about what will really be driving the roadmap in the future. What would have been wrong with focusing on monetizing Docker Hub and leaving the tool alone like Github and Git? Docker Hub doesn't look like it's been updated in ages... I also don't see why anyone should be thrilled that this split is being made when you can only offer a 1 year support window for 'EE'? How is anyone going to explain to their manager that what the cool tool they were sold on is now just the 'community version' and if they want support they can only get it for one year at a time? Do you know how long it takes to go through the upgrade process in a large enterprise? We'll be lucky if we get six months or less of support before we have to upgrade again. Also, I feel no urge to go and create pull requests for your community edition product. If Docker were still completely free and community driven I would feel compelled to do my part, but I'm not building software for you to sell.
So to add some needed background information to this:

Every 18 year old has been forced to submit a form stating if they want to be conscripted. That's about 100k people every year.

Out of the 100k, about 20k state that they do want to be conscripted.

Out of the 20k that say yes, 4k are selected during a screening process that evaluates physical and mental fitness.

So there are no less than 2 points where you can opt out of being conscripted if you so like.
That depends entirely on how it was implemented. A reasonably simple way would be to tax the value of transactions between companies.

Essentially, as I understand it, Bill Gates was suggesting we need to move away from taxing people because the number of people employed in a company is going to fall away to somewhere close to zero. Instead, if we want to raise taxes, we need to move towards taxing something else - that could be work done, or revenue, or transactions between companies, or electricity used, or CPU time.

Bill Gates isn't wrong. If we continue to link taxation to people as we always have then we will end up with tax revenues that don't even begin to cover the costs of running a functional society.

Docker CE, Docker EE... was docker purchased by Oracle?

The only sad part of this annoucement is the part were they talk about "certifications" this will open the world to the next stage "docker developer certifications" and will soon start seeing HR departments asking for it.
sounds like GoT, take the black or be executed. Still, I think this is a point in favor of conscription - there's a big generation of young adults that don't learn how to adult anymore, basic stuff like laundry, ironing, regular exercise, (self-) discipline, etc.

I'd like to add that one of their primary intentions isn't to change minds. My guess is they use this big data social media system to influence people negatively. They identify independent liberal-leaning voters and influence them in a way so that they are turned off from politics and won't bother voting. So these potential voters probably see a lot of ads showing how equally horrible any candidate is, how nothing matters, and that no single vote is going to make a difference.

>The answer is that, you are using a service that is unsustainably too cheap. In the longer term the price will have to increase, probably quite significantly and you'll have to choose whether you think it's still worth it or take the bus. Unfortunately you, and many others are the ones benefitting from drivers being underpaid.

Uber is already hiring lobbyists with the goal of boondoggling municipalities into providing Uber subsidies in lieu of investing in public transit. They talk a big game about how self-driving cars are what's going to make Uber profitable, but that's just marketing to earn some 'cool points' because that tech won't be ready before the VC funding runs dry. They're banking on public subsidies.

Meh. There's a difference between a complex flavor that happens to be spicy, and a mere heat bomb. Take a Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich, for example. That's a heat bomb. It's awful, but it's very spicy. Meanwhile, two of my favorite Indian restaurants in town (well, one Indian, and one Trinidad) can serve most of their dishes with zero peppers - no heat, just flavor. Peppers can be added all the way up to gut-melting levels, of course.

Beer is the same way. Complexity and bitterness are two different things, and you don't need a ton of bitterness to get the complexity.
That's a great idea. Thanks!
Don't let the emotional impact of the word "eugenic" cloud your thinking. Almost all social policies have effects on fertility and are therefore, either eugenic or dysgenic in practice. A basic income that isn't designed properly would be extremely dysgenic and, therefore, unsustainable. See my sibling comment about what a gently eugenic basic income regime might look like.

Unless the goal of fighting a war is to wipe the opposing side off the face of the earth, no, it's a credible defense. You bleed the enemy until they lose the will to fight.

Not a general response, but at least for tech jobs, salaries in the US are excellent. Money isn't everything but from what I see, you take a huge pay cut working anywhere but the US. Even Canada doesn't come close to competing.

Unequal distribution of gains.

That is the primary difference. If a founder creates a technology from Singapore and sells it worldwide it can replace millions of workers without those workers or their countries seeing any gain, relative or otherwise.

A secondary difference is that it may fully obsolete some humans, just as cars fully obsoleted horse drawn carriages. In the past, farmers could move to factories, but once robots are able to understand simple commands and enact them with human-like limbs at a all-in cost lower than minimum wage, then a good part of human society becomes unable to earn a living. Sure, some things only humans can do (those that require a belief that the job must be done by a human: therapist, tour guide, politician, etc) but it doesn't seem especially likely that this will absorb the billions of low-skill workers.
