People always seem to forget this in terms of CPU optimizations. It's both good and bad, though. If you're pegged to a given version of a compiler, the point releases likely won't see any optimization while the major releases will likely include additional optimizations for newer chipsets. And I'd wager AMD will be working to get optimizations into both open source compilers as well as things like Visual Studio. One thing to note is that switching to a newer compilker will likely be easier for most of Linux-land as opposed to Windows land. Upping the compiler version with your code compiled in GCC is often much easier than switching to a newer version of Visual Studio due to both cost and dropping older operating systems (the latest won't support Windows XP and Vista for instance, which may matter to some specific business lines and consumer areas).
I suspected it was something like this. Unfortunately the Vicipéid is not of very high quality. I just just hope Facebook doesn't forget which side its bread is buttered on.

Transformers Devastation is about as close to an interactive cartoon as any game has managed so far; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM1StfCCxok It looks pretty much exactly like the cartoons I grew up watching. Apparently it's not a great game though.
In addition to mysterydip: Many RPGs and strategy games use 3D engines, but only for more "isometric" or "top down" views (downside is that they require more GPU performance than you'd think sometimes)

Also would like to mention Factorio explicitly.
Why does Microsoft not find and instead Google? MS is not a startup and it is their code. Seems weird that Google has to fine their issues.

What does this say about using Google software versus software from Microsoft? Or am I missing something obvious?

That is… exactly what I said? Bufferbloat occurs where there's congestion. That's generally on the ISP's router, since they're the ones throttling your connection to 10 Mbps or whatever.

Yes, if you have a gigabit fiber connection and your home router can only handle 50 Mbps, you can get bufferbloat on your home router. But most people aren't in that scenario.

SQM is great, but not available on RouterOS, which is what the GP was asking about.

Well, no, not really. Western countries always get a huge backlash for any military activity in any region. This is where the propaganda and state controlled media opinion would be very useful, at least for the military.
It does not change anything, but it explains a lot.

Still true. You can see the difference between the Marines and the army. You also see a huge difference between the professional forces of the US and the conscripted forces.

My black friend and I had a candid conversation about racism once, and he told me something along the lines of: "racism can make you a crazy person. A guy will walk into a room and say hi to everyone but you, and you'll wonder, was that racism? Or maybe that dude just didn't see me? You'll order a sandwich and the white girl behind the counter is flippant, you think, was that racism or was she just having a bad day? She's nice to the next dude in line, maybe they know each other, or is it cause he's white?"

Humans are emotional creatures and social science is very much not-so-scientific at times, considering the complexity of the topic. Sometimes all we can do is talk about our feelings.
I agree that's a genuine and reasonable concern, but it's not unique to these 7 countries. We're only citing that reason because of the other contextual things going on.
> 200k dudes with guns

Conscript military doesn't mean that you just teach everyone to dig a hole and sit in it with a rifle. You train conscripts into every role you need in a 200k strong modern military. Including operators and maintainers of the hi-tech death machines, sigint operatives, radar operators, tank crews, missile forces, officers of all kinds, and yes, the guys that dig holes and sit in them with rifles.

One of the strengths of a conscript military is that you get everyone, which includes all kinds of current and future skill sets. Modern conscript armies aim to put that expertise into the best possible use.

Ask HN: What questions would you ask if you had full access to Facebook's data?
Hey all--As a thought experiment, I'd be curious to hear what kind of research and analysis you'd do if you were given access to Facebook's data?

-Would you study changes in migratory patterns around key political events? Career movements and what predicts what jobs? Repetitive daily and weekly behaviors? Dating and relationships?

Obviously the possibilities are infinite but I am curious to hear what questions you'd like answered if you had the opportunity to explore FB's data?
Not if I'm a citizen.

A US citizen can't be denied entry.

Others can be denied entry for a long list of reasons:

And there is little to stop an individual border officer from simply using one of those reasons as a pretext to arbitrarily deny entry.

Hi, in addition to what others have said in response, note that the actual version is 17.03.0.
Patch releases will be 17.03.X, just like 1.12.0 was the initial 1.12 release has 6 patch releases after, final one being 1.12.6.
Russia's whole propaganda machine is predicated on having Ukraine as integral part of Russia since they base their whole value system on promoting the view that Russia is continuation of Kievan Rus which is modern day Ukraine.
Yet Docker is embracing "tight coupling" if not in the architecture ('batteries not included') then certainly in the marketing of their platform.

If you use Docker it's expected (by Docker) that you will use Swarm. And now it's expected that your organization will use EE (is that Java EE? no it's Docker EE.)

Docker followed the Apple II model into the enterprise, it was a fancy typewriter.
Is anyone in this thread muslim? Just curious.

I am muslim. Travelling to the US looks very different since 9/11. I was born in the UK, grew up here, scottish accent, fair skin, british passport, work in tech. I still get "randomly selected" every time I travel to the US. Every so often when I've landed somewhere I'll be asked to wait in some immigration section for 1-2 hours, while they do God knows what. I say nothing. I keep my mouth shut. I wait for them to do their checks and I go about my business. Travelling to the US is a pretty terrible experience if you're muslim. I make sure to appear as non-muslim as possible whenever I'm travelling there.

Note: I have no plans to travel to the US while Trump is president.
Sure and if you're a citizen you aren't required to answer any of their questions if you don't want to.
Agreed, at first I was skeptical because the marketing message on the site seemed a bit over-hyped, but it turns out it is a really valuable tool for streamlining both testing (invoke local) and deployment when working with Lambda. New users also benefit for the basic scaffolding (severless create) and the documentation is pretty decent.

I have tried kappa (Python) and node-lambda (Node.js), and serverless works better than both of them, is more frequently updated (Lambda and API Gateway themselves change frequently), supports more languages (I have used it with Java, Python and Node.js) and has a much larger, more active community.

The API gateway support is pretty simple and solid, and they also allow you to use cloud formation rules directly so it is very flexible.
That's a true point. Maybe it's more about the culture.

What I actually don't like about Java the language is the boilerplate; it's a very verbose language. I don't like that anymore. I am infected with LISP now.
You are misinformed because you are reading propaganda. They won't be relaying their plans of that channel.

Here are some recent events:

russian planes flying into Swedish air space

russian sub in water near Stockholm

Norway beefing up their border troops

etc.
The key word is "unreasonable searches and seizures." Searches incident to border crossings have always (since Congress created the customs service in 1789) been considered pre se reasonable, as incident to the sovereign power of nations to police their borders.
If an action that is normally legal becomes illegal if you have wrong thoughts while doing it, you are essentially legislating thoughtcrimes.

The immigration suspension ought to be legal or illegal because of what it is, not what its author thinks.
Maybe I am too late too this party but I have a question:

Is there any framework for handling routing and deployments?

What I mean is, is there ane xisting solution where I can make JS files to routes, and have those routes and js files be loaded into Lambda and configure the API end point; so that if I need to make an update to the lambda function i can just update the file (and re run the framework)
Why is this post dropping to the bottom?
You've provided literally zero evidence for your assertion besides anecedata and some rhetoric plus pulling out one (one) statistic to make an empty point (if you did some digging you'd see a good portion of the 63% that voted for Trump voted for Obama too). Cool.
So I understand the following document is a kind of use case description of the solution your company provides?

First, it's "she", not "he". If you don't care about the gender of the author (inferrable from the name), write "they".

Secondly, no, the travel has not been the same even in the post-9/11 world. The change is that they are now talking about demanding passwords to social networks, and search your entire history of communication.

The change is that now you really are presumed criminal and have to prove otherwise with how you look, speak, and what information you have or looked at.

The change is that now you really do have to go through your emails and censor them.

If that's not substance to you, we don't have anything to discuss, so let's stop here.

I value your comments, however, because they supplement the article and do further author's point.
Sure, you could make yourself crazy trying to prioritize all the traffic with varying kinds of flags.

Or you could just let an algorithm (SQM - fq_codel or cake) automatically determine which flows are sending more than their fair share of traffic into the bottleneck link, and offer backpressure to slow those applications down, so other applications work well.

re: net neutrality. That applies to whether my ISP (or any provider upstream in the Internet) should prioritize packets/data from various sources toward (or from) me. The answer should be, No. My contract with my ISP is that I get X mbps of data. The contract doesn't say the ISP will provide higher priority or data rate for service Y over service Z...

SQM has no effect on net neutrality: I'm simply configuring my own router to prioritize the data that I'm requesting (or sending). My ISP should handle them in a totally neutral way...
Reminds me of Facebook IPO, a lot of people were claiming it will plunge and eventually go bankrupt. But companies with such big daily active audience that can be targeted with ads are here to stay.
> there is simply no way for her to be denied entry to the US

As was proven when Trump instituted his executive order, people with valid visas and even green cards were denied entry into the US[1]. That's since been reversed in the courts... but that doesn't mean that the current, or even a future, administration won't try again in the future. (I doubt Trump will, after getting blocked in the courts... but you never know.)

I think there are.

Eg, i feel pretty justified in assuming and acting on (ie, walking away from them lol) anyone from the west bureau baptist church. I have yet to see a rational, non-hatefilled comment come out of WBBC (not sure what acronym they go by). So why do i have to strictly assume innocence?

If they start bombing or hijacking planes next week, can we not ban them from flying? It seems quite reasonable.

I'm not saying we hang them all, because they have not all been proven violent, but it's a small sect with extremism and clear patterns. Can we not use this information? Do we have to ignore it?
I've seen a few places suggest wiped phones are a little suspect, so maybe populate them with a little bit of "neutral" content?
The real problems are

a) Redirected despair - liberals' despair over the Republican election victory has been redirected to AGW. Some are now convinced them that the world will be underwater within the next two elections.

b) Lack of imagination - AGW has become a religion: to question any aspect of AGW or to propose new alternatives or new solutions is instantly interpreted as charlatanism. Minds are doctrinally set in concrete and are consequently both scientifically uncritical and uncreative.

Many AGW proponents are modern-day Thomas Malthus': no credit is given to human ingenuity, no possible solutions exist (other than the ones they parrot), and they think we're all gonna die (and SOON, now that Trump has won). Gloom-and-doom downers all. It is no wonder their normal friends won't speak to them (which only increases their despair).
The problem with so many of these, what are effectively, personal services going back to the dot-com bubble is that they're effectively luxury goods for most people.

And unless they actually need them for some reason (lack of mobility, don't have a car, etc.) most people don't buy a lot of unsubsidized personal services. They don't have gardeners, lawn care, drivers, etc. Some do but it can be hard to build a business out of just them.

> I'm sorry you don't like the new versioning.

I would note this is a non-apology, given it's stating you are "sorry" someone doesn't like a decision that was made.
You really should know the answer to your question. The point of conscription under the subject circumstances is not to make them a wonderful and driven soldier, it's in order to establish and elevate a base line capacity for soldiering and fighting.

The idea is not the same as a volunteer force where you are professionally training someone into a member of the military, you are simply trying to establish a baseline in case a draft for defensive self-preservation is necessary one day. You sure as hell don't want to be caught off guard with a weak, limp wristed, Liberal, blue haired, self-loathing populace that has not even the most basic comprehension for what provides them the privileged and comfortable life they freeload off.

Conscription is simply a way to bolster a country's means for self-defense in circumstances of elevated risk, without having to actually create an adequate professional force. Conscription is absolutely productive in the face of what is perceived as escalating military risks.

You are right though, many, if not most European, even eastern European societies, are so atrophied and have become so weak willed and limp wristed for a number of reasons including the fact that they have so long totally and utterly relied on the USA providing a defensive shield that they have totally forgotten and become delusional and rather psychotic even, about the need for self-defense and even just as normally instinctual of things as self-preservation. Just look to what Europe is doing (It is sad to have to point this out, but extremely important to differentiate between, e.g., arabs and muslims ... people of a region and an ideology, just like there is/was a difference between Germans and Nazis.) by letting the ideology of islam invade their lands and infiltrate their societies and corrupt their governments to institute their ideology. And that's beyond the whole question of the number of people that the elite is thrusting upon its populace against every single basic and fundamental concept and notion of democracy and self-determination and liberty.

Conflict and war is coming. It is in the air, even if it does not happen now or the next year. There are certain forces that are relentlessly pushing towards conflict and strife and friction through "diversity", which will, unavoidably and inevitably lead to some sort of detrimental condition. And it is not the ones one would think, it is the equivalent of spoiled brats with no grasp on reality from having lived in a bubble of comfort and who take everything they are given without having earned it for granted that are ever creating the conditions that will result in failure or collapse of the system. Just like the rise of the Nazis in the 1920s was just the symptom and their gaining power the cancer that ultimately led to organ failure; the misaligned and rotten elite of effete impudent snobs are the cause of the conditions that lead to the cancer that caused the symptoms.
How to turn a product into a platform
I know that the Snapchat platform is worth something, it has high engagement and adoption of 18-24 year old age segment, and that is worth a lot in terms of attention and advertising $s.

However, this just feels completely out of proportion to earnings and downside does not seem priced in. Willing to be proved wrong of course, but especially seeing as they are non voting shares, I cannot understand this pricing.
This is done so that whitebox system builders don't buy consumer level motherboards and CPUs, shove ECC in there, a cheap raid controller, and sell this setup as servers. Next thing you know all the AMD servers on the market are failing because of shoddy parts because consumer level QA is at a lower level than enterprise, not to mentioned the lowered performance of consumer level hardware. Now AMD has a bad reputation for reasons completely unrelated to its chip quality or performance and collapses in the market.

I don't like this situation, but I certainly understand it. AMD needs the server market to raise revenues. This means its server offerings, from soup to nuts, need to be rock solid. Letting whitebox resellers junk up their reputation is not within their interests.

Not to mention, enterprise sales often subsidize consumer sales. Those big enterprise markups go into the same pot of money that allows AMD to sell consumer chips at lower prices. Anything that threatens enterprise sales could affect the consumer space. AMD needs to be very careful here as, compared to intel, it needs to prove the value of its brand every chip generation. They also need to overcome a lot of bad mojo they've developed from questionable benchmarking and marketing of its previous two, or more, generations of chips. Bulldozer, I believe, had half the single core performance compared to the intel equivalant at the time, yet it benchmarked well due to its extra cores. The market doesn't forget shenanigans like these.

That said, the market allows 'workstation' level cpus and motherboards that support ECC. A little legwork can find you decent deals, but no, they're not going to be $59 NewEgg specials and you won't be able to use the consumer Ryzen on it. Consumer CPUs are almost always gimped anyway - smaller caches, disabled features, slower clocks, etc. The ECC limitation isn't too different from this, but it is annoying.

This is a topic I've often contemplated.

On deployment (US Army) I couldn't help but notice how counter-productive all the "amenities" actually were. I believe one of the driving factors behind individual military success in theater (aka war), in addition to protecting your peers and pride, is that urge to finish the fight so you can get home. Having Burger King and Subway stifles that sense of urgency, IMO.

During war, you're motivated to do tasks 7,8, and 9 because they directly contribute to the success of task 1 - ending the war, and once the war is over, the war you've been conscripted into, you probably get to go home.

So, yes, I believe conscription without an active conflict makes it difficult to motivate individual soldiers.
It's all precedent. US v. Martinez-Fuerte, US v. Flores-Montano, US v. Ickes. OTOH Almeida-Sanchez v. US found to the contrary.
Conscription is straight up slavery. I don't see any way around that. The arguments seem to be, "you'll only be a slave for a while, if you live", "we need slaves", "you'll get paid to do the work you're forced to do".

If you want an army, be worth defending -- both in terms of paying the soldier and being a country that a soldier would want to work for.
Latvia has a population you need to subsidize? What do you mean by that?
Yes, but there's no guarantee that lambda will reuse a connection / won't continue to request new connections against your database :( Currently, it seems like there's no "concurrency limit" or "per-function throttling". It would be amazing if requests are just magically queued up in SQS and lambda just processes them... like a traditional queue-worker system except now we don't have to manage the infra.
It doesn't really work. Everyone getting into the army knows that they're potentially risking their life. Something which doesn't really happen in most modern jobs.

You'd have to pay a ton of money to get middle class citizens into the army and at that point you'd probably spend half of your budget on the military.

I don't see this as something really authoritarian if your country does have a very aggressive neighbor.
There are two bits of the Constitution which might have something to say; the First Amendment is quite overdone and passé nowadays, but it also says "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". It's not a giant leap to claim that prohibiting entry to people of a particular religion (or why else is the border control asking, if not to prohibit entry to people of particular religion?) interferes with "the free exercise thereof".

The second is that the Constitution prohibits religious tests for Federal office; this has trickled down a general prohibition against religious tests. (The wording of that part of the Constitution allows for a very narrow interpretation of which offices cannot have religious tests, but it's never actually been put to a test in court, because we just don't do religious tests, period.) Culturally, it is very offensive to me as an American to be instituting them at the border.
Reminds me of Twitter IPO... just wait.
