Foam is more for the convenience of shipping compressed, they are not going to be the highest quality mattress. Saatva is pretty good I think for the price. No idea about the expensive ones.

You need to figure out whether you prefer a soft mattress or firm. You could go demo a Sleep Number in their store and see which level is best.
I guess you mean like a RESTish "super-endpoint", that aggregates a whole bunch of data? Because operationally, it would be really different than making a thousand idiomatically REST queries over a hypermedia API.

If so, there's still a huge difference. In the REST super-endpoint world, you have to modify your API service to suit the desires of individual clients. In GraphQL, the client controls the shape of the query. The detail that the client is sending that query at deploy-time, instead of request-time, doesn't change that.

This also recognizes that queries tend to be parametric, but not fully dynamic. That's kind of built-in to Relay, since the fragments are statically attached to React components.

It's more akin to HTTP caching, to me.
Soaking in a hot spring seems unnecessarily risky. There's too much chance of substantial temperature change. Better to soak in a pool that's fed from a hot spring. Rather than mess with park police, find hot springs where it's allowed.
To save you the digging, the chips are Xilink VU9p UltraScale series : https://www.xilinx.com/products/silicon-devices/fpga/virtex-...

(retracted, can't find exact part on digikey) Quantity 1 pricing is about $2000/chip ; however, that price would no doubt drop substantially at even a 1000 chip order. A typical discount (appears to be) 20% at qty 100; so at qty 1000, maybe 33%? So 1 of these chips might be $1200 after you figure a bunch of other discounts?

EDIT:

https://www.xilinx.com/products/silicon-devices/fpga/virtex-...

^^^ the product table.

The XCVU9P is listed as having ~6800 DSP slices, 2,2586K (= ~2.5 million) of system logic cells. That pretty much matches what Amazon describes as them using.

(The DDR-4 RAM is external - so it doesn't help narrow down the device.)

However there are multiple, very similarly named parts, and it doesn't seem that the XCVU9P is listed on Digikey. Other parts named UltraScale are - thus the confusion.

America is a pretty large country with big cultural differences between different regions. I'd imagine the more authoritarian or puritanical subcultures might be okay with it (who probably are the same people that say that adults who resist cops had it coming when they get shot / killed unnecessarily).

I don't think I know anybody personally (right or left leaning) who would think that it's acceptable to handcuff children like this. I would hope that most people I associate with would think it unacceptable.

At the same time, this kind of thing is so common that I think people have been numbed to it. What maybe could be said is that in general, Americans don't protest this kind of thing as often as they should.
Many universities still own generous blocks, though historically there were possibly many more[1]. My university, Caltech, still has the 131.215.0.0 - 131.215.255.255 block and has student dorms, graduate student housing, and office buildings wired up exactly as you describe. They also happen to own the 134.4.0.0 - 134.4.255.255 block, though I have never seen an actual server used there linked externally or internally.

An interesting anecdote, France weathered the world depression of the 30s much better than other countries because they kept getting reparation payments from Germany.
There really needs to be a tradeoff here. Control is great, but it can't be so black-on-white as to implying that nothing at all would convince you to give up control all the way down to kernel features.

Plus, it's a template, not a closed solution - after it runs, you can observe what was created and tweak to your liking. If you do so much configuration as you're implying, you probably have some templates of your own.
That's just a placeholder. Several times in the doc they say that the operator name needs to be explored, specifically to see if overloading 'switch' is feasible.

A meta-question for those who follow Stratechery or the Exponent Podcast and are perhaps more deeply engrained in some of these companies being discussed...

Do you find the analysis to typically be pretty thorough and accurate?

I love the podcast and I think I've listened to every single one at this point, and they always talk through their reasoning at length in a logical, (mostly) structured manner, which I love. However in the back of my mind there's this little voice that says "they used to be management consultants and still do consulting, so of course they are good at making their arguments sound convincing--but how sound are they really from a strategic standpoint?"

Some of it we'll never know because it is in the realm of "what-ifs" but just curious for others' thoughts on the signal-to-noise ratio of their content.
For me the best parts would include:

- Type inference

- Everything is an object (no more primitives)

- no obligatory ';' as a statement separator

- Type-classes

- Scoped import statements

At which point we're actually recreating Scala and we might as well switch :)

> Either way, you're not selling C to me as a language to embark upon a major project with.

Sounds about right.

I dearly love C, but it's time to move on. Languages like Rust seem to solve most of the major pitfalls while not sacrificing on speed.
Reading this reminded me of all the discussions that took/are taking place for pattern matching in C#[0]; reading this I had the same reactions that I did for C#: cool stuff. It's also nice to see the languages reach parity in features; I only hope the two language committees pay attention to the research/feedback that the other receives.

You know, what we were all suspecting once the thing was originally announced.
Yeah, that's a much nicer solution. In the cases where it mattered we just built a standard block/arena allocator but that's a bit more work which means it was rarely used.
> MIT is only giving up half of this mother lode, so each student merely is allocated ~700 each. MIT also claims 14m of those IPs have never been used in internet history.

Good. I didn't realize how many ip addresses they have. I think that universities are endowed with finite resources like land or ip addresses have a responsibility to make them available to students and fellows, and by extension, improve society.

Selling everything to the highest bidder isn't something I want to see done.
Given ipv4 exhaustion I'm not sure the pros outweigh the cons but your post just triggered some happy long forgotten memories.

Manchester Uni (circa ~2001) as part of JANET (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JANET) had unmetered, unfiltered 100Mbit ethernet ports straight into all the dorm rooms, each with a dynamic public IP on the end. A publicly routable 100MBit line back then was a big deal (the fastest connection I could get at my parents was a bonded ISDN line).

It was thanks to that that I first started playing around with linux (RedHat 5 or 6 back then iirc). I remember assembling a server box with cheap PC parts, hosting an FTP (...posting the Dyn domain for it to alt.2600 and later getting in trouble after the uni received a letter from Universal :), running audiogalaxy satellite 24/7, setting up an IRC server for me and my friends to co-ordinate Quake 2 games (or counter strike - can't remember), trying (and failing) to do my own email with qmail and all sorts of other fun stuff I've forgotten. Good times.
It's also the exact same cost, $5 per terabyte read.

Just that this feature could be added to DSLRs, so it's not inherently an advantage of mirrorless cameras. Of course if you already have an EVF there is no additional cost associated with providing the histogram overlay. But if everyone starts demanding in-viewfinder histograms, DSLR manufacturers could add that feature.

They should also try to make sure all of their descriptions are actually correct. They describe SNS as "AWS Messenger" and say to "Use this to
Send mobile notifications, emails and/or SMS messages". That's only one specific use-case though. Really it should be called "AWS Callbacks", and you can use it to create callbacks from other services and webhooks which can trigger notifications to mobile devices, emails, SMS, or other AWS services.
I'm so old that I predate CIDR and in the old days before netmasks the netmask was essentially implied by the first couple bits of an ip address so all msb zero ip addrs were class A aka /8 allocations. All MSB 00 or whatever it was were class B implying a netmask of 255.255.0.0 aka a /16 allocation.

Before CIDR you couldn't route or advertise rando netmasks like a /9 or a /20. There were no steps between a /16 and a /8 so if you convinced (someone, forget who) that you "need" more than 65K ip addresses (and MIT is big enough to need more, theoretically) then you got a /8.

A lot of noobs think ipv4 rolled out with CIDR; not so. For "a long time" people had to make due with classful routing.

From memory, isn't RIP v1 only classful routing compatible? Been awhile since I used something that old.

I don't see how your series or resistor examples are particularly relevant: neither mathematical nor physical facts are human inventions. The packaging is, but I'd argue that the packaging for both is relatively intuitive for someone likely to be encountering them.

For this example, there is a large amount of intuition both from C specifically and more broadly in programming (i.e. the background of people likely to be encountering this) that foo(bar) is a function call that evaluates all its various components. The syntax used for many "calls" of sizeof violate this intuition. The uniformity that leads to this corner case may indeed be the right choice (and probably actually is, IMO), but discarding intuition---and assuming everyone is a robot who's memorised all corner cases of their tools and never makes a mistake---is dumb, especially in a relatively restricted domain like programming where there is a reasonable set of common/shared assumptions to build on.

Lastly, the "a good carpenter never blames their tools" sentiment is also dumb, as a universal guideline: tooling can be objectively bad and unhelpful, and, even if someone can make it work, there will be downsides. Taking things to the limit, it's clear that "C but instead of text, just write down the UTF-8 encoding of a file as one huge base-10 number" would be an actively bad programming language and lead to all sorts of problems over normal C. The same thing holds for, say, C compared to other tools: people make objectively more of certain particularly bad classes of errors when writing C because the tool isn't helpful enough.
wow. I havent used C# for at least three years, but that is a really powerful feature.
Yes, that would be cool.
For a while I was building only websites, but eventually took on web app projects that leveraged MVC frameworks and had to build upon in-house REST APIs that to integrate with the products.

No algorithmic problems, though, you're right about that. The closest thing I can think of relating to time complexity for web dev are when N+1 queries are used unnecessarily. I fix those, and change them into single queries.

For what it's worth, though, Amazon did reach out to me and I did two rounds of interviews with them. I bombed the tech on the second one.

Senior level web? Heh, even in web don't even think I'm that far. I have zero professional experience with anything but PHP which is going out of demand in newer positions.

On the JavaScript side I have done two React projects, all the companies I worked for had old-school JS though. Bunch of vanilla JS with jQUery strewn in, hundreds of files, no usage of Node nor modules.
It's not just the doomsday scenario. It's smart to avoid vendor lock-in because eventually a competing cloud vendor could offer better pricing or more reliable service. Or you could run redundant infrastructure on AWS and Google Cloud Platform at the same time to insulate yourself from major vendor outages.

Also, not all doomsday scenarios are terribly far fetched. AWS might one day have to discontinue a service after losing an intellectual property lawsuit, for example.

They answered that question 6 times in their comment.
So this is a good question - the answer is that you're comparing apples to oranges. This is all about in-situ data processing, which basically means that you can run reasonably efficient, optimized queries on just regular old files that you have lying around, without having to do anything special. This is as opposed to a situation where you've spent a ton of time, effort and expense actually ingesting the data into whatever data system you're running (in this case redshift). So it's usually said that these systems are good for ad-hoc queries, i.e. one-off queries on files and datasets that you want to explore more, but it doesn't make sense to invest the hours upon hours of waiting and storage / cpu resources to bring them into your database just to make a few queries.
Shameless plug: I recently wrote a similar piece exploring pattern matching in Javascript http://jarrodkahn.com/posts/6/slug/
This is a good start, but I think there could be a lot more thought given to how we should think about monopolies in the context of markets where networks effects are crucial to the business value (aka. Facebook and Google most obviously, arguably Amazon, Apple), because one logical conclusion is that in a market where network effects are a major factor, the biggest network should be best positioned to provide the most value and therefore (assuming it doesn't actively eff things up on other fronts) should continue to grow until it dominates the market...which seems to pretty much be what happened, and it makes pretty good sense for the most part. in these cases, it actually seems BAD to break these networks apart, since their scale is arguably one of its primary values to the customer - this doesn't mean of course that they can't abuse their monopoly powers (I think they probably do to some degree and will continue to), but interesting to think that the traditional "break up monopolies" impulse doesn't make as much sense. this leads me to think it will just be more consumer-protection-related regulation (under the banner of consumer privacy, or maybe even public health, given all the "social media addiction" thought pieces out there these days ha).

One thing I've found super interesting/impressive about Snap is that it didn't try to outcompete FB in terms of sheer network size for its usage stickiness, and instead turned smaller, tighter and more private networks into a differentiator, while at the same time providing advertisers/brands with a competitively massive audience - not an easy thing to identify, much less execute on. TBD if that differentiator is enough to keep them alive vs. FB's more traditional network-effect-driven advantage, which will be hard to beat on its own terms. I think Snap's success will depend a lot on its ability to avoid being tempted to play that game (see: Twitter!).

random other thought: this all also reminds me that Mark Zuckerberg has not made a peep about wanting FB to be thought of as a "utility" in a long time (or maybe he has and I just missed it...but couldn't find any recent mentions), probably in part because they are now a lot more at risk than ever before of being regulated like one (see this talk from 2013: https://techcrunch.com/2013/09/18/facebook-doesnt-want-to-be...). Also kind of funny to hear him talk about "we don't want FB to be cool" too, because now it seems like FB very much wants to be cool again now that Snap has become cool and has threatening user counts.
What slows me down in C is not memory bugs, its bare-bones nature, which leaves me either implementing basic stuff myself or trying integrate some library that I don't really want.

Memory unsafety is terrifying, but not much of a time-sink in ordinary development. Only once in my career have I found a memory bug that was difficult to track down and fix (it was a stack overflow in a C++ program on an embedded OS).

The real problem with memory unsafety is that I nave no idea how many memory bugs I didn't find.

Valgrind a lot both with finding and diagnosing memory bugs. But it cannot solve everything.
> FYI, I recently found out that C# can actually do multiple dispatch

But also good to know, that it can be costly and unsafe. `dynamic` is basically using reflection at run-time, which for most cases is fine, but it's something to keep in mind. It also means that type checking is delayed until run-time instead of compile-time.

You should consider using emacs instead of vim, because it can easily handle saving the file to disk, copying it to a USB memory stick, putting it into a ziploc bag, biking it down 101 to Moffet, throwing it onto a conveyer belt into a rocket, and launching it into space, all automatically, in one single keystroke!

I mentioned a group that stole a corpse from a grave.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2006/may/12/animalwelfare.top...

> The militants, including a vicar's son and a psychiatric nurse, led what they called a "holocaust" against a farm which bred guinea pigs for medical research. Jon Ablewhite, John Smith and Kerry Whitburn pursued a six-year hate campaign against Darley Oaks farm in Newchurch, Staffordshire. Whitburn's girlfriend, Josephine Mayo, was sentenced to four years for a lesser part in the campaign.

> Almost 100 people connected to the farm were targeted. Explosive devices were sent to some, mail threatening to kill and maim to others. There were attacks on homes, cars and businesses. The relentless campaign culminated in the theft of the body of Gladys Hammond, a close relative of the Hall family who ran the farm, from her grave in October 2004.

> For months, activists taunted the Halls, telling them the body would be returned if they closed the farm. The body was found only last week in woodland after Smith told the authorities where it was.

This is a campaign of violence, against people, for political reasons.
There wasn't a question in my comment. And I'm not sure how much value there is in a generic comment about intellectual property from a professor because the journalist needed a quote for their story.
Looks quite Swift-like. Seems like a big win all around for pattern matching to become more "main stream".
In a world where distribution is unlimited and unbounded by location, it seems unlikely that focusing on local content will continue to work for them if they want to grow.

100 words perminute seems aspirational to me. You as a consumer, could with ~100$ in off the shelf tech make a system that, given user practice, could do 30 though.

Not with subvocalization though; just with basic T9 style typing, just with your thoughts instead of fingers.

IMO best I can tell subvocalization is a holy grail of BCI and thus far even DARPA hasn't made much headway. I don't see FB doing better; especially given they have next to no expertise in hardware.
I don't think MIT needs any more money. Universities are often endowed with special assets that others organizations are not.

Yes, universities should dole out as many IP addresses as students want. Where else will students get an opportunity to build something with that infrastructure?

Maybe the university could use their infrastructure to create a non-profit ISP that serves some underutilized market.

If I were endowing land to a university, I would want them to use it, or make it available for the public good. Not just sell it off.
