"Deterministic builds by default are such an obvious (in retrospect) core requirement."

I agree... I like the theoretical concept that our dependencies, could be automatically managed/upgraded behind the scenes via a declarative versioning system, like semver. That, in my view, was the paradigm behind not having defaulted to dependency graph snapshot (lock/shrinkwrap) by default. In practice, people don't follow semver correctly and autoupdating patch+minor versions can cause you a lot of pain. It would be cool to make versioning more tied to actual API signature, so that changes to the signature could not actually be published as minor/patch changes... but would be forced to use a major version bump in publish. I don't know how this would work particularly in a language like javacscript w/out a typed interface... but I'm just theorizing...

This isn't exactly overclocking. Rephrased in terms of CPUs: it's as though motherboards always clocked the CPU to 2.1GHz, irrespective of what is indicated on the CPU box. This happens with RAM because there used to be no way for the RAM to advertise its speed and timings to the motherboard. Intel corrected this with XMP on their platform (I'm not sure what the AMD equivalent is called).

If you clock your memory to its advertised speed and timings (i.e. enable the XMP profile) you ~~won't~~ [edit] shouldn't have any problems after booting. What may happen is that your system fails to POST, in which case you need a better motherboard.

Using the correct memory profile is extremely important. Reviewers found that the performance of Ryzen is strongly correlated to the memory clock - something to do with Infinity Fabric. This means that DDR4-4000 is, in theory, absolutely required if you want the most out of Ryzen - making this patch a big deal for Ryzen users.

You clearly haven't read my other comment in this thread. But regarding Mandarin/Vietnamese public schools in the United States, how can that not be indicative of a national unity problem?

Sure it is not on the same scale. But they're not teaching English, the national language, at all. And they don't really have a choice as their community doesn't speak English, either. So English doesn't really serve a purpose, and by extension neither does integration.
I hate to say it, but an earthquake is probably San Francisco's best bet at getting more housing built.
One of the main problems they identify in the article is lack of flexibility in students who are approached as one style of learner. Rather than narrowing it to one style per student, maybe the teachers could have audio, video, written, and hands-on experiences mixed in for all students. Then, if a particular student needs extra help, that student might get some reinforcement in a particular style.

I haven't done the research, but it may be just as important based on the anecdotal evidence that certain types of lesson are more suited to different styles of teaching as much or more than the students are. It may even be that Timmy learns history better by reading while Tommy gets a better sense by looking at maps while talking about it, but Tommy can picture geography pretty well in his head while Timmy needs lots of diagrams.
> lack of a proper, cross platform, package manager: I know the history, I know that C/C++ are basically embedded in the system and they use the system package manager,

I think the problem is deeper than that and that the problem could be that C++ does not have a standard ABI. It is compiler-specific. Therefore, having a system package manager does not work (as it does for C).

I compile my personal C++ codebase with four different compilers and different debug settings. The only way to manage that is to have a monorepo with all my dependencies checked in .

But I'll just list a simple sequence of three verifiable events that should demonstrate clearly that there is at least something real here.

* On March 20, 2017 FBI Director James Comey testified before the House Intelligence Committee that the FBI was “investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia’s efforts.”" [0]

* On May 9, 2017 the President fired FBI Director Comey [1]

* On May 17, 2017 Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein (acting in this matter as AG due to Sessions' recusal) appointed a Special Counsel to oversee the investigation, effectively removing the President from it's chain of command. [2]

I'm not saying this is proof-positive that collusion occurred, but it's sufficiently compelling.

I'm curious as to your recommendation of SmallFFT in response to the grandparent's post. prime95, iirc, says SmallFFT does not test the RAM much. I think "blend mode" was the recommendation that includes RAM testing, while SmallFFT was more for stress-testing CPU overclocks?

Is it because the question is not whether or not a particular bit of RAM is damaged and rather whether or not the overclock to the communications bus between CPU and RAM is affected?

> It would be more helpful to ditch the 'myth' that age-segregated classrooms are an improvement over the one-room school house.

They still mix ages in Montessori schools. There is a stronger self-learning culture, including peer-to-peer collaborations and older children playing a mentorship role to younger ones. The teachers observe, faciliate and are there whenever they are needed.

It's not always so rosy in real life though. One school I volunteered at actually had to do more age-segregated classes (rather than lump Lower Primary together) because it was way too disruptive to mix 6 - 9 years old together. To add context, since the school was specifically for disadvantaged children, most (especially refugees) either join much later or stop suddenly, so couldn't fully benefit from the Montessori system.
Since it appears that nobody was physically injured by his theft, I really feel the stature of limitations should apply here. Nobody is better off by his extradition, imprisonment, and exile.

Nonviolent bank robbery is pretty low on the social ills scale. That opinion will annoy a lot of people, but get back to me when white-collar crime is prosecuted with the same enthusiasm. This guy is being made an example of for political reasons, nothing more. His crime is to have broken the rules that were designed to keep him in his place in the working class.
>They are essentially taking a $1000 Chinese carbon bike and selling it for $1500 with the extra cost attributed to an integrated, non-upgradeable computer and some sensors, all of which can already be found in any given customer's existing smartphone, which can easily be mounted onto whatever bike the customer wants.

i wonder how such logic would sound in the context of say Microsoft Surface Hub?! well, probably like billion dollar idea :) They sell those $5K TV for $22K like hot cakes.

ITT: self righteous dorks who never struggled to learn anything
The really bad schools receive a lot of outside money. Around here they pay substantially better than the good schools. It doesn't help much, because the money's not what's making the difference.

[EDIT] Clarification: what is making the difference is selection bias, basically. The kids in the richer districts are way the hell easier to educate. Easy-to-educate kids tend to be so for reasons (family circumstances/priorities/wealth) that also make them more likely to leave a poorly-performing district for better (more expensive to live in) districts. Effectively addressing the things that make some of the kids easy to educate and some very difficult will have very little to do with school quality/funding.

Any word on ECC support for the Ryzen chips?
Just installed it. It generates a link on your homescreen from the app you need space from (ie twitter, in my case). Link looks like the twitter app icon.

When I tap it it loads the browser on a page saying "breath with me" for a second or two, and then loads the twitter app.

I can imagine 1) needing the breath and that working out, 2) ditching the process of loading twitter if i'm asked to breath

both would be good outcomes

I have a little brother in Vancouver who is 20 years younger than me. He was put in French immersion because her friend who was an elementary school teacher said she had 15 out of 24 of her students be ESL or need special help in a normal English school. French immersion here is just used for segregation.

With that many children needing special attention or not speaking the language any parent would suspect the learning environment of the classroom would be brought down and try and get their children out.
Better yet, it involves trapping them in summoning circles.

I worked there for about a year, there were a number of contracts fulfilled using the workbench and associated technology (mostly NDA). At some point there was a pivot to a graphics-heavy reinterpretation of the core tech, which was pretty secretive and so didn't get a lot of press.

[background, I'm not sure from your reply whether you already know this]: Usually RAM speed doesn't really affect anything consumers do too much (gaming and video encoding). Also, the tradeoff to RAM speed increasing is also that latency usually increases too, so while you get more bandwidth you usually don't get better latency.

Ryzen is getting improvements here because it's designed as a die containing a pair of 4-core complexes (CCX) that are interconnected with a fabric that runs at RAM speed. Faster RAM => better inter-core performance is the primary mechanism here, not actual bandwidth increases or latency improvements. If you need that stuff you'll want Intel HEDT/Xeons or Threadripper/EPYC with more actual memory channels.

[actual answer]: Second hand but: the replies I'm seeing on Reddit are saying that the performance gains on the interconnect are linear up to 2933 and diminishing up to 3466 and you get little additional gain past there.

As a current user of ECC RAM w/ a Ryzen 7 1800, I can tell you it works.

We need faster ECC RAM though: the external RAM speed affects the internal AMD Infinity Fabric, which provides inter core comms.
The assumption you're making is that it's always possible and easy to create that motivation.

I totally agree that motivated student studies 100x better, I just think it's impossible to motivate student 100% of time. A teacher that is able to achieve 50% motivation deserves the Medal of Honor. In the end, it all boils down to teachers. Good teachers worth gold by weight.

From my own life example: I was literally forced to learn some subjects in college (I'm mathematician), but 10 years later I'm re-studying the same subjects, now on my own. And it really helps that I learned them previously, as I already have a global overlook of the whole area, and know where I am, what should work, and what must be too hard to try.
This already happened circa 1780.

In Europa merchants were taking advantage of the numerous measure of length, weight, volume to make customers unable to be comparing.

There was 117 measure of length used.

So as a result, Louis XVI who was influenced by the early liberal set on course the project of the international system. The idea was a market is more competitive if states regulate the obigation for merchant to make measure comparable.

Hence came the meters, kg, liters and the decimal system.

It was adopted by the republican after the king was overthrown because they were also willing for a fairer competition...

It has always stroked me as weird that USA never saw the inherent liberalist advantage of simple measurement system.

I love this kind of thing! I recently did something similar, perhaps lower level, with some ZX Spectrum tapes from 1990. Saved them to wav (miraculously, they didn't stretch or snap!), literally fixed broken bits by hand (https://plus.google.com/u/0/+GabrielGambetta/posts/fcXkKmD8d...), and managed to recover my first "game", TOP CAT (https://plus.google.com/+GabrielGambetta/posts/8RkT5K2KR18).

But my real challenge is much more interesting. I have a few tapes with more of my very early software... but they were stored using an extremely proprietary device, invented in my country, so essentially nobody knows that it exists (http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=1000510). I have the raw tapes, but I'm not sure how to get started, even. Probably try to interpret bits and trying to find strings. Exciting times ahead!
It makes sense to have separate repos for things that don't interact. But when your modules or services do. Having them together cuts out some overhead.
Have you been involved in a legislative process? (I haven't, directly, at the federal level.) At the local and state levels, hard petitions are huge. (In some jurisdictions, they're required to get on the ballot.) Protests are meaningful inasmuch as they are willing to show up, time and again.

Why? Off-season elections, which most of these politicos must win to keep office, are not games for numbers. They're games to motivate people to inconvenience themselves by voting.

Remember why politicians like PAC and campaign contributions. They spend that money on turning out voters. If you can turn out a bloc of potential voters, or people whom you can reasonably claim are upset enough to vote against them, you'll catch attention. The active minority wins against the disinterested majority. Internet petitions represent the latter; hard petitions and protests high in repeat attendance demonstrate the former.
Totally agree with the above. It is hard to capture ancient Greek in English. There are verb moods that we just don't have. This lets the authors play with ambiguity in a way that we have trouble doing... a neat concept that you can dial up and down the ambiguity of what you're saying and the listener would understand that as at least partially intentional.

And totally, a readable translation is the most important, because in reality, what's readable is probably doing a better job of capturing the writers intent than a super-precise and consistent translation.

Also interesting that there seem to be a bunch of veterans on the stoics thread. Not surprising, but interesting nonetheless.

Hopefully this pushes more and more restaurants towards using separate chip-reader (EMV) pinpad devices. I've noticed several area restaurants switching lately (Arby's, Wendy's), and I hope it continues. These devices use point-to-point encryption, meaning that even if the POS machine is comprimised, no sensitive card data can be stolen. The POS machine never sees raw card data.
