At the kinds of scale the big cloud operators buy and build at, I bet each watt of TDP probably costs them six figures a year. If Ryzen has real advantages in the server room, they'll figure out a way to deploy it, I doubt they're foolish enough to lock themselves into one supplier irrevocably.
Rust adds a lot of cognitive overhead for the ownership and borrowing model. Most languages are not designed like that, because productivity takes precedence.
I completely agree that doing math and doing programming feel similar in a lot of ways.

I just think they are different enough that not everything is analogous, including best practices on variable naming.
I'm no bitcoin expert, but would it not be possible to cash out the below-fee-value coins by making a multiple-input transaction consisting of many wallets with <0.0004btc held, paying it all to one wallet, selling the contents of that wallet and returning the sale price back to the wallet holders?

Obviously that's pointless at the current fee level (<$1) but if the fee grows high enough, or if there's a way to reach these wallet holders en-masse and convince them of the value this would provide to the network (or get them to short btc in advance of a large sell-off of the gathered coins). Notwithstanding the legality/morality of any of this, it's not my field.

The daemon is mostly about caching the configuration, yes. It caches JIT compiled code too, but Gradle configuration is actually a big pile of Groovy scripts that create objects, or something like that, and scripting languages are slower to start up even than interpreted Java.

This is one of the most interesting comments that I've seen on HN. Let me do some research on that when I am free.

Edit: After reading the wikipedia article on Korea reunification (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_reunification), I start to wonder why both countries are not actively pursuing this goal that is obviously beneficial to both now. Maybe some details are missing from the wiki article?
Is this supposed to be a bad thing? If I were a non-profit working on teen depression and suicide, this sounds like an amazing innovation. My intervention and education dollar would go much further.

I don't understand the sinister outlook, especially from people who in other contexts--e.g. cryptography & terrorism--would adamantly claim that technology is neutral and that the net benefit from innovation is with rare exception to the betterment of society.
Well, there were two of these.

One of them was clearly after his tweet.

The other one should appear in the blockchain before his tweet, if this is genuinely him.

Agree that it's the (1) deep integration into iOS (how much better the experience vs other bluetooth headphones), (2) the battery life (and the whole case design so that they're always charge), and (3) true wireless / no connector cord.

Anecdotal, but I rarely get search results linking to reddit. I personally left reddit a few years ago so this may be the filter-bubble pointing me elsewhere.
You are the one reducing it to an absurdity here, but the reality of the situation is people below the 90%th income percentile are being priced out of cities entirely, not just select areas, not just "historical" areas, entire metropolitan regions.

This needs to change, and I'm sorry if it means some property owners get huffy about actual affordable housing getting constructed.

Intel ARK disagrees with you:

The most confusing thing in Python is that there is more than one way to do it. :)

Exactly. Python had a multiple thread and blocking I/O model. That's well understood. Javascript had a single thread callback-based model. That's well understood. When you have both concepts in the same system, things get much more complicated. It's even worse when it's a retrofit.

Consider Python's Queue module. If you call Queue.get(), your thread can block. But the async system doesn't understand that kind of block. (Is that right?) So you've blocked all the async stuff running off that thread.

Go has lightweight threads too, called goroutines. But because it wasn't a retrofit, all lock mechanisms are compatible with lightweight threads. When a goroutine blocks on a lock, its underlying thread is re-dispatched. Python 3.6 isn't set up that way, because async operations were retrofitted in parallel with the existing machinery.
I like that it's under the category "impeachment".

At least the agenda isn't being kept implicit.
American Express is also quite bad in terms of what characters are permitted to be used in passwords. However, Greyhound is out of this world in this case.

That's true, but for all intents and purposes NAT is a poor-mans firewall. Many people don't know any better or that's what keeps them safe, they wouldn't know the difference between multiplexing a bunch of machines behind a single IP using port forwarding and firewalling because if a port isn't forwarded it appears as if it is firewalled.

That's a legacy bit that a lot of people will have a hard time adjusting to when IPV6 becomes more mainstream. Basically every piece of gear in your house can have a routable IP under that scheme and then suddenly your edge router configuration becomes a lot more important.
It's a few-line change to output the AST to code via astor (it's actually part of how I got everything working in the first place). You get full executable code with docstrings an everything, though no support for generating inline comments (I think that changed in 3.6, IIRC).

Would you be interested in a patch that does something like that? It should be a heck of a lot more robust then what you're currently doing (which is manual code generation?).

Also, if you're interested in doing things with the debug protocol, https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/devtools-protocol/issues/6 might be relevant.

It's an issue about how there's no good way to determine the remote debug interface version, since the version information that's present never changes, and they keep moving functions.

Now this is way more interesting... add this to the fact that I really doubt he's so dumb to accidentally tweet this twice. I just don't know how that could happen. Something very fishy could be going on here...
I read about this a while ago. Apparently Intel's Management Technology which is built into like every Intel CPU now listens directly on the network interface so it can still send/receive data in case the OS is borked. It hooks in at ring 0. Like a rootkit the OS can't see.

This is true sometimes but not "nearly any time". For example rate of Spanish fluency in Arizona among second-generation residents is much lower than among their parents, without any kidnapping and beating going on.
CPU firmware patches have also been released through Microsoft update, and Windows computers may well be patched on the fly in this way. I suppose it would be possible to download the update individually and examine its contents, but, as you point out, it would be extremely difficult to work out what it was doing.
How much coding have you done in Haskell throughout your life? How comfortable are you with monads? Did you ever read the Baroque Cycle? Also, TYVM for doing this!
No, that's not the same. Imagine ME being exploited, that would open up the system regardless of whether or not you even had AMT, installed or enabled. That would be a far more serious issue, the number of systems affected would be a very large multiple of the number of systems affected by this bug.

IIUC the SuperMicro BMC is different software on a separate third-party chip. So it's reasonably likely to be vulnerable, but not to this particular vulnerability.

When people either can't or don't want to measure the performance of who they picked and who they didn't, they resort to stories that sound good. Even if you have "rigor" around how you score candidates, if you don't connect those scores to subsequent performance it's all still just a narrative.

If this is true, wouldn't it be pretty easy to write some sort of scraper that pulls all of this information from both yelp and google and reveals such discrepancies?
Looking at the Intel link, they take you down a path to see if you have vPro. That's on some i5s and i7s. So they are defining "consumer" roughly as "purchased at best buy or similar". There are certainly desktops in people's homes that have vPro. Even some of the higher end NUCs have it.
It's not Harvard students you need. There aren't that many of them and they already have their own social networks. You need to market to middle- and high-schoolers. Because by the time they're in college and could afford $3/month, they've already got outlets.

We need a service to monitor all the published security & privacy issues that vendors like Microsoft, Intel, and Apple don't consider to be bugs, and then offer some kind of automatic disable/fix/patch/uninstall tool.

I'd be willing to pay $50-100/year per system so I don't have to personally dig into every security and privacy mitigation.

Specifically, the tool or service should:

- Check for known vulnerabilities just like Management Engine described in the article, and disable it or patch it (if a patch is available).

- Uninstall or disable all tracking, reporting, spyware features (esp. in Windows 8 and 10 for example).

- Disable all unnecessary services to harden the OS. Yes, I realize that this has the potential to break things, so it has to be done intelligently.

- Etc.

I would have thought that anti-virus software would have been a perfect place to build in such capability, but AV software has generally turned into garbage unfortunately.

Yeah, because sooo many people don't install an operating system. FTFY.
Can you explain this argument? Don't really understand the implication.
It probably compares very similarly to the German dialect situation in that it is a dialect continuum. The dialects become less intelligible as geographic distance increases.

The article alludes to this at the end:

"Romance linguistics teaches that by walking across the former Roman Empire from Sicily to Normandy, every pair of neighboring villages can understand each other."

"Language" vs. "dialect" is also very tricky because politics often come into play to demarcate the two. The classic saying is that a language has an army and a navy whereas dialects do not (i.e.: languages are associated with nation states).

And the classic example is that of Norwegian, Danish, Swedish which due to high mutual intelligibility are often linguistically thought of as dialects of one language. However, each one belongs to a nation state whose inhabitants would likely often disagree that they speak "a mere dialect".

Edit: Stepped away from the computer for a long while before actually posting, hence the similarity to the answer below.
Bitcoin addresses are 30-ish characters, start with a 1 and end with a checksum. This is clearly not a bitcoin address, but someone putting what Sean Spicer tweeted as the comment on their Bitcoin transaction a number of hours after everyone and their dog had mocked him for apparently posting his password to Twitter and had seen and spread the Tweet in question. (Also, the Bitcoin community has a long history of exactly this kind of prank, so people probably should know better by know.)
Great, thank-you. Self-teaching the finer points of software architecture is something I find difficult
I just read this and thought ... didn't that transaction take place after the infamous tweet? Couldn't anyone have done it? Quick google and sure enough:

The youth - under 18 - may or may not have a problem with it. However, they also can't readily do the actual payment portion of the deal and would have to buy a gift card or ask their parents - and their parents may object, especially if they are poor.
> My feeling is that we have entered an age that youth is not naive anymore and would happily pay $3/month (at least in the US) for a non-tracking all-round communication service.

Probably not, but there just might be enough, youth (or people just out of the edge of that category with contacts inside of it) that will pay $10/month for such a service plus the privilege of sponsoring 9 of their friends with free accounts. Who, would of course have the option of upgrading to paid, getting their own 9 giveaway accounts, and returning the giveaway account to their sponsor.

Which, sure, might be as little as $1/user/mo., rather than $3.

I love the Blindsight series... had no idea they were available with Creative Commons license!

Another fiction that uses blindsight as part of the story is 'As She Climbed Across The Table' it has been a long time since I read it, but I think it was used to observe a quantum effect without being affected by [concious] observation. Didn't make much sense to me at the time but it's a book I often recommend to people that think they don't like science fiction.
