What you wrote about the design flaws of select is correct but a feed set with 10,000 sockets is just 1250 bytes or 157 longs and hardware is very good at sequential memory access. I agree it will be slower than kqueue or epoll for long-lived connections because there is more work to do for the kernel and application but for many applications select is good enough when used correctly.

I have my doubts about select causing 100% cpu utilization, I suspect you were doing other suboptimal things as well. The sample code I wrote is running well with both 100 and 10,000 connections.
I have my own anecdotal evidence where application was barely handling just 100 mostly inactive connections and OPS guys suggested limits of just 50 connections per application. After I fixed how feed sets were created and how the result of select was processed the same application was running just fine with 8,000 connections. We had to support Linux, Solaris, AIX and HP-UX at that time and select/poll were available on all of them. That's why I invested time in optimizing the code instead of switching to epoll. OPS guys still suggested limit of 1,000 connections per application but this time it was for availability and other non-performance reasons.

> Banks will step in to provide private loans on whatever terms they feel like. They'll be bankruptable. The banks can make their own judgements about the borrower's ability to repay it

Banking industry does not have a concept of a college loan. A loan is either secured (mortgage, auto, HELOC) or unsecured (personal, credit card). Without government participation all college loans are treated as unsecured, which means that everybody will get roughly the same offer as they do today on personal loans. High interest rate, payments must start immediately, bad credit requires a co-signer (time to talk to Mom and Dad).

Banking sector interest in unsecured private loans to people with bad credit (which describes most 18-year-olds) is so close to zero that LendingClub pretty much owns the sector.
Haven't finished the article yet, but I already see several red flags as to where they got things wrong:

1. Self-esteem is a byproduct of self-compassion, not external awards or compliments. External stuff produces other-esteem and yeah, it's the root of narcissism

2. They tried to produce self-esteem through removing any chance of suffering. Teaching people how to respond to suffering would've been much more productive.

3. Describing someone to themselves can be unintentionally harmful when judgment or comparison is used, whether it be positive or negative. This article shows how positive judgments (ie. compliments/praise) can be harmful.

If anyone's interested in a functional alternative, I highly recommend the book "Nonviolent Communication."

No, they have every right to do that - that is part of free discussion. But something does not sit quite right when we see people having to issue public apologies for supporting a political group. Its not like Hilary or Sanders supporters at Facebook/Oculus where ever expected to do something like that. Thats a clear signal that one side is being persecuted for their views. Another way of putting it - we should attack political ideologies, not the individuals who carry them.

While not directly what you are looking for, the release milestone predictions for rust is a fairly nice page IMHO to see current plans: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/rust-release-milestone-pre...

For example, one can see that "Macro use and rexport" (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/35896) that will make macros a part of normal Rust naming and modules is planned for Rust 1.20 to be released end of August.
Despite my parents being computer illiterate, I'm glad they were pretty understanding. I never had any IBM experience but I had spent plenty of time on MicroVAX, HP 9000 and later with Sun. I did a number of local pickups (ahh the memories of trying to shuffle a HP9000/835 down Columbia tower and into a dodge caravan) of hardware and knew a person who worked with Sun in Seattle who would sell me old demo stock for a $1. I spent years trying to get rid of it all, no one would take it even for free, and unfortunately had to recycle most of it. Although the Paul Allen museum bought some of DEC Alpha stuff. It just cost too much electricity to even play with.

You probably can... but is that really the issue?

I think the problem isnt that you cant solve problems with small amounts of data; its that you can't solve 'the problem' at a small scale and then just apply that solution at large scale... and that's not what people want or expect.

People expect that if you have an industrial welder than can assemble areoplanes (apparently), then you should easily be able to check it out by welding a few sheets of metal together, and if it welds well on a small scale, it should be representative of how well it welds entire vehicles.

...but thats not how DNN models work. Each solution is a specific selection of hyperparameters for the specific data and specific shape of that data. As we see here, specific even to the volume of data available.

It doesnt scale up and it doesn't scale down.

To solve a problem you just have to sort of.... just mess around with different solutions until you get a good one. ...and even then, you've got no really strong proof your solution is good; just that its better than the other solutions you've tried.

Thats the problem; its really hard to know when DNN are the wrong choice, vs. you're just 'doing it wrong'
Yeah, I got that vibe around

He bounced around Europe as a young man (due to WWII), but he did the vast majority of his work in France. However, Wikipedia says he was technically stateless because he held off on applying for French citizenship.

As an engineer there are certain things I refuse to work on. Anything to do with weapons, immigration, gambling. The list is ever evolving...

However it is up to each of us who understand the technology to ensure that we vote and support the best political representatives who understand when it is morally correct to best implement such advances.

And did I mention that Finns can hack?
In my experience, people who argue for position 1 have never actually lived in a poor country.

> Your final statement is demonstrably incorrect.

The final statement the parent responded to was, "so far, statically typed FP with Sum Types and Pattern Matching and Immutability seems to be the cure." That Haskell can be used to write real software, and that it is, in fact, used by a few projects in the real world, is no demonstration of it being a cure to anything any more than Go's use in far more project is a demonstration of it being an even better cure. That those Haskell projects don't seem to do significantly better than others, does, however, seem to demonstrate that it is not a cure.

As I read it, the "self serving academic noodling", while too harsh an assertion (as some real-world Haskell users do enjoy working with it), does not refer to Haskell being useless, but to Haskell not seeming to substantiate the strong claims made by some of its fans; at least not in any striking, self-evident way. Haskell is a fine programming language, but touting it as the cure to our problems is a bit premature.
I think this is part of David Allen's rationale behind the "Getting Things Done" book/methodology. If you've organized your to-do list in even a rudimentary fashion, that takes some of the cognitive load away.

`Dweck, like many adults, had learned to hide her frustration and anger, to politely say “I’m not sure I want to play this anymore” instead of knocking over the board. She figured the successful kids would be the same — they’d have tactics for coping with failure instead of getting beaten down by it.

But what she found was radically different. The successful kids didn’t just live with failure, they loved it! When the going got tough, they didn’t start blaming themselves; they licked their lips and said “I love a challenge.” They’d say stuff like “The harder it gets the harder I need to try.”

Instead of complaining it wasn’t fun when the puzzles got harder, they’d psych themselves up, saying “I’ve almost got it now” or “I did it before, I can do it again.” One kid, upon being a given a really hard puzzle, one that was supposed to be obviously impossible to solve, just looked up at the experimenter with a smile and said, “You know, I was hoping this would be informative.”` - Aaron Swartz, http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/dweck

No. But getting them fired for their political beliefs/personal life is disagreeable to me.
I did not downvote the parent , mainly because I rarely downvote posts, must be a facebook habbit :D

"That's an unsubstantiated claim. Point to some sources please."

Reaktor and Max/MSP vs CSOUND and Supercollider , Blender python vs Material/Texture/Animation/Compositor Nodes, Blueprints vs Unrealscripts are all examples I mentioned already. Why they are not enough ?

"These are not the only ones [1], and VPL first appeared earlier than 1995. For example, the first version of LabView was released in 1986 [2] and certainly LabView was not the first one either."

This is why I said "that I am aware of" I am not an expert on all things just a few areas.

"Even if this is true in the case of VFX (which I don't know that it is but I don't know that it's not either), it certainly is not true in video game development, which is very much an area of 3d graphics."

I already mentioned Unreal and Blueprints. But yes what I meant was on the fact of actually a VPL competing with a TPL. Obviously when no VPL exists you have no competition. In the case of 3d apps efforts have been placed into using scripting languages but the users have picked VPLs instead as much easier to use and learn.

"Blueprints is awesome but you could not TODAY make an arbitrary game implemented using ONLY blueprints and have the amount of control and freedom you have if you use Unreal or another game engine with C++ or another TPL. Thus falls your initial claim, which (quoted above also) was"

What you say its true but its not because VPL is inferior its because its not fully supported. Unreal started as a C++ game engine so of course the support will be more extensive than for Blueprints . Blueprint have been around for few years and its already growing faster than the C++ api. It was only lately that Epic added the ability to compile a Blueprint to C++ code. C++ API also make it easy to wrap any C++ code and expose it to Blueprints. So if you want to make your entire game in Blueprint its not possible but also easy.

"Some people love LabView. I certainly don't. Some prefer it and for them it's a thousand times better than using a TPL but for me 99% of the time I would go with a TPL over LabView."

VPLs are made for users not coders, its their ease of use / idiot proof mentality that have made them succesful. So yes if you are a coder in most cases you will prefer and should prefer a TPL , especially a popular one.

But again I repeat in the vast majority of case you will be extremely lucky to find a VPL to even consider moving to. VPLs are extremely rare.

Education is just one other thing that is simply good for everyone and something you shouldn't have a less opportunity in because you had the "wrong" parents.

But if you're from a paradise country as you say, I assume you enjoyed your free education and now just simply shit on it for no good reason. Do you think you could've really afford it since your parents probably didn't save up? Unless you would have worked your ass of in several years and saved every dime you could not. It was probably good for you with free education, as it is good for the society.

Honestly, I think most languages have shitty syntaxes (syntaxi?) and that the issue is not about visual programming.

The other problem is that everybody who has a big idea for visual programming has the same, actually shitty, idea.

Drag-n-drop blocks that represent logic.

UML is not a thing anymore because it's useless and wastes time.

Visual programming is great for describing high-level logic, but not low-level semantics.

> I never figured out what most of the administration did besides irritate the better teachers.

As a teacher who has experienced that irritation, I hear you. But I also know that multitudes of administrators are a necessity in the modern world. There are a number of reasons for this; one of the biggest is regulatory burden.

Pick your favorite downtrodden group. Some politician makes a speech about how Group X has gotten the shaft for too long; he says he wants to pass a law that says no federal money is going to go to a university that hires people from Group X at a lower rate than other groups. Everyone says, "Yay, politician." And the law is passed.

Now, I am not (repeat: NOT) arguing against such policies. If thoughtfully enacted they can be beneficial. But they also come at a cost. And much of that cost is administrative.

Basically, this politician has just invented a new form to fill out. Before receiving federal $$$, we have to fill out this form that describes our good-faith efforts to hire qualified people from Group X.

Now, someone has to fill out that form. They have to keep the necessary records. They have to tell their coworkers what they need to do to be in compliance. They have to get periodic training, because government requirements change. That person needs office space and equipment. They need a parking space, and their trash needs to be emptied, and their restroom needs to be cleaned and stocked, and their paycheck needs to be deposited, and someone needs to supervise them. And none of this is free.

The modern world comes with a huge number of policies like this. "Let's prevent hard-working Americans' money from being misspent. I'm going to require that any scientist who receives a government grant has to account for his time, so we know where the money is going." Fine. And every university hires someone for a new administrative position.

"Every new construction project must conform to stricter safety requirements." Great idea. Another hire.

And again, none of this is free.

> Oh yea, and put a hiring freeze/salary cap on all administrative personnel for any school that accepts federal loans.

Ah, but the reason the administrative personnel are necessary in the first place is to ensure that the organization meets the qualifications to accept federal money. So the idea is, I'm afraid, completely impractical.
Why? Does it offend you? People are just commenting stupid shit like "ITS NOT FREE OMG, TAX PAYERS PAY FOR IT" when it's so obvious that's exactly what I mean. Free for the student, not for the society.
Wait, and the line that you are drawing in the sand is at border security cameras?

This isn't families getting deported. This is cameras, on the border.

Or do you believe that border crossings are inherently immoral?
Neat little article, preaching to the choir unfortunately. I wonder if there's a single climate denier around here.

Perhaps people expect a title to be either helpful or artful. This one is both less than descriptive and uninteresting. People would probably be be less concerned that it wasn't descriptive if the title was artful or clever.
I have a lot of sympathy for both current and former members of the US armed forces.

Current members, because I grew up in a part of the country ideal for military recruiting: poor overall education, weak economy, and for many people enlisting is the only way they can see to escape from it. It's not direct conscription, but in terms of the genuine choices available it's often pretty close. And for "choices" that are partly or heavily coerced I'm much less judgmental.

Former members, because many of them signed up for the reasons outlined above, and now are treated horribly.
Ah, last one I saw was just a bunch of memelords yelling "normies get out".
