It is true that moore's law no longer applies to CPU's, but it is not as if no advances are made at all, provided you pick the right CPU.

The single thread performance on the 6950X is pretty low, and in fact pretty much on par with that 4771. If you want higher single-thread performance you have to opt for fewer cores at a higher clock rate, something like the i7 7700K, which would definitely perform significantly better than the 4771. The 6950X really only makes sense if you have a workload that needs those 10 cores.

See https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html for the comparison.

I would estimate that Neville can sell about 100 coffees per day with a profit of about £1 per coffee, so he earns around of the order of £100 per day. Surely that can't be more than you, unless I'm nearly an order of magnitude too low in my estimates?
In Emacs the shell-mode allow me to use the shell as any other buffer, with random access and scrolling. I can cut and paste stuff just like in any other text buffer, manipulate the output of my session to save it to some file / send it to someone else, etc. IDK how it is in nvim but I'm quite pleased with shell in Emacs, can't go back at all. Though if you're using tmux or maybe screen you can probably do similar things.
From the creator:

Along with the main app window, I am showing another small video window that you can minimize as you wish. So technically it's streaming low-quality video and feels like 100% music that you can control from the app.
Fully agreed, but often these can be solved by reviewing the overall (business) problem.

E.g. maybe it's hard / not worth it to process a file in parallel, but maybe the most frequent use case needs to process more than one file and files can be processed in parallel with much less work.
> Neovim usage is minimal.

I don't know how much it is used, but what are you basing that claim on?
Can you please elaborate how you make use of the built in terminal emulation of neovim? Whenever I see a mention I think "neat" but have yet to integrate it into my workflow.
No, but thinking about it pretty hard - anything has to be an improvement on what we're currently using. Especially after getting an email this morning that our current solution has had a big data breach...

Loons I am not so sure about (http://www.dsl.ac.uk/entry/snd/loun has some interesting info on the name though, see e.g. item 5)
but quines sound somewhat similar to the word for woman in today's Scandinavian languages: Danish: kvinde, Norwegian: kvinne and Swedish: kvinna.

You can also find it again in the word Queen (originally woman) that seems to share similar words and meanings in different European languages: http://www.dictionary.com/browse/queen

Fascinating stuff! :-)

I considered blades but at least for me I concluded they were a bad fit:

- The centers are large and heavy, needs a fair amount of space, can't really be handled alone. Also means they're shipped on a pallet, which is somewhat expensive.

- Blades are less common overall compared to servers

- Blades have more peculiar I/O than normal servers, you can't just stick an IB card or GPU in there

- The backend I/O modules are fairly rare 2nd hand, so either you find a center which has the modules you want or you're SOL
Is there any reliable way to test this over the internet if I have a machine which I currently can't physically access?

No, I quit after a while for not very related reasons. I play tennis nowadays, which is much more enjoyable. According to my PT, what you're doing is what one is supposed to be doing, so that's good. I'm sorry to hear about your injury, though, I hope you recover!
FWIW, I disable electric-indent globally and use C-j instead of RET which indents after new-line (it's bound to electric-newline-and-maybe-indent, I believe it's the default binding):

C-j runs the command electric-newline-and-maybe-indent (found in
global-map), which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
‘electric.el’.

It is bound to C-j.

(electric-newline-and-maybe-indent)

Insert a newline.
If ‘electric-indent-mode’ is enabled, that’s that, but if it
is disabled then additionally indent according to major mode.
Indentation is done using the value of ‘indent-line-function’.
In programming language modes, this is the same as TAB.
In some text modes, where TAB inserts a tab, this command indents to the
column specified by the function ‘current-left-margin’.

You are not alone. The CoreBoot (https://www.coreboot.org/) project is maintained by programmers who would agree with you.

The main problem with opensource BIOS is the need to understand several proprietary interfaces.

As for the CPU, have a look at the RISC-V project (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC-V). I have seen links to implementations but I can't find them at the moment.

You might want to consider systems built using ARM processors instead of Intel. There are several proprietary backdoors in Intel CPUs.
"Only in America" is hyperbole. I'd buy "more frequently" but, realistically, the advice is still sound in any part of the world: don't call the cops if you don't want someone to get arrested.

For those down voting, here are the stats from Australia, courtesy Wikipedia:

"Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) shows that during the 2009/10 year police took action against 375,259 people, up by 4.8 percent from 2008/09 figures."

So, that's 375k "actions". Even if you assume that a lot of those won't end in arrest, that's still a lot of arresting.
Ask HN: Facebook API Question [HOWTO]
Hey folks,

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction or even tell me if this is possible:

I have 18 facebook groups that other people manage on my team. and I am trying to build a statistics board on a screen to show how fast we are replying to peoples comments.

Is it possible to get the original comment, and initial reply time from facebook API?

I do seem to be struggling to find a solution.

Thanks in advance.
I'd recommend taking a few minutes to read the Peelian Principles [1]. What you state is how police actions are undertaken in the US. It is not at all what it could be, what it should be.

Because all these companies want their employees to "sign up" for the culture, to love being there, to believe in the mission etc etc. If you don't adore everything about their manufactured cult then you aren't a "team player".

Interviewer: "Tell us why you want a job here at cult company X"

Job seeker: "Because I really want to play foosball every lunchtime, to chug beer with the awesome folks after work in the german beer bar built in to the office, and most of all, to give my youth for this incredibly important mission of changing the world by giving better bug tracking tools to developers everywhere!"

There's a reason the word "culture" starts with "cult".
Meh. My bestie has worked the county counsel office in two different counties. He told me it is standard practice for court clerks to hand out stacks of blank, pre-signed subpoenaes to any attorney, government or private practice. Of course the caveat is if you abuse them, there will be, trouble.
Why We’re Biased About Being Biased
The other factor I read regarding the difficulties of resurrecting the Saturn V engines, was that they used a lot of mechanical feedback control systems to regulate fuel flow etc.

Modern engineers can understand them in theory, but they'd just use a micro-controller for anything that complicated, so they don't have the same fluency in those systems as the original engineers.

I agree, Electron apps are way too big. They include so much cruft whether you use them or not.

I prefer to write apps with separate server and client parts and the client JS/HTML is generated by in-house tools and thus is a fraction of the size of anything that would uses any of the popular frameworks.

In any case, I'm finding that WebApps are easier to deploy and update than writing for native deployment. In the rare cases that I do need native features, I can deploy a local server which can then access whatever I need. The clean separation of concerns between client and server does simplify architectural design.

In reasonably sized datasets, you'll typically find a lot of interesting information and relationships that are only loosely or not at all related to what the analyst is actually paid to do at the time.

Analysts who only find the specific thing and end their work on that are a dime a dozen, and need to be micromanaged. Good analysts will find all the other interesting stuff on their own and inform the business about it. Those good analysts are the explorers, and banning those people form exploring during training seems like an effective way to take talented budding analysts and turn them into mediocre ones.

Back before agriculture, Hunter-gatherers had a very slow population growth with a timescale of thousands of years. By the time they started getting crowded, some startup discovered agriculture and bread and beer and now we could support a larger population and a higher growth rate.

Living without growth would be hard too. The zero-sumishness which characterizes our politics would be even worse.

The "you can just send bytes over" bit is kind of the whole point. While I use Google's flatbuffers instead of Capn'Proto due to easier use w/ in-memory buffers they more or less have the same design idea: the underlying data is little-endian and stored in machine native types.

For my use case in electronic trading, a format like this is great b/c you don't waste many CPU cycles in decoding/encoding while at the same time you can take complex message structures and easily generate code stubs to read/write them in various languages. You change something? Just regenerate the code stub. You can even guarantee backwards compatibility if needed.

I work on such a system (multiple "microservices" written in a variety of languages) and we use JSON on top of zeromq. It's super easy to debug without any fancy tool. And as long as I'm consistent with my API design it's trivial to extend and keep everybody up to date.

If performance ever becomes an issue (unlikely in my case) I could probably switch to some binary serialization protocol eventually.
I actually got into audiobooks because of walking. I am preparing for 100km walk, so I walk a lot (and by a lot I mean 2-5 hours walks). And while walking in silence can be quite enjoyable and meditative by itself I felt that too much time was wasted. Audiobooks make a great companion.
