Don't want to derail the thread too much so I'll keep it short. I did technical "things" that correlate to my current civilian career. Lessons: biggest one was to eat humble pie and realize past performance =/= future success when different domains are involved (mil vs civ). Useful things: I'm generally pretty chill when things are going wrong. I.e. client meeting goes horribly -> "Hey at least we're not in X country getting shot at / how do we optimize for next time / etc."
> Another sad thing is that a consumer can't tell their iDevice "hey, stop downloading updates to this app; I like it just the way it is"

You certainly can do this, unless I misunderstand your point. Automatic Downloads are an option in iOS. You can turn them off if you don't wish an app to automatically update every time a new release comes out.
I think you probably made a good choice, since our fork of the original was worked on very quickly to get a basic demo going :)

It doesn't need to be that complicated at all. The book "Hacker's Delight" gives some nice, fairly simple implementations. Here's one:

Hello, yes we are going to do a limited edition run, it is actually a collaboration with Rebel Tech! From our latest Kickstarter update:

"The Bela Modular breaks out the audio, analog and digital I/Os to jacks, and handles voltage scaling for Eurorack-compatible CV levels, providing a total of 2 audio in, 2 audio out, 8 analog in, 8 analog out, 4 digital in, 4 digital out and 4 LEDs over two modules, 12HP and 10HP wide.

[...]

We are planning to do a small production run of Bela Modular units later this year. Please contact us[0] directly if you think you would like one of these, or stay tuned here and on the forum.[1]"

There's an unfortunate conflict of interest going on. IOT developers have a strong incentive to create a "platform" that evolves around a database of users and their data because if they don't have that, some copycat will appear in no time and take their market. However, for the consumer this means that if the company dies they effectively loose their device.

It could be a valid business decision (I.e. uneven browser support will confuse our users and increase costs) but I think they are just using that as a delay tactic.
This article suggests a total cost of $1000-$1500 which is ~20x the cost of mined uranium (and 40x less the cost of gold). It does not mention energy as a significant driver of this cost.

The modern concept of "gender" was introduced to be distinct from that of "sex", but the word dates back to Latin at least and, until repurposed, it was synonymous despite the strong specialization towards use in grammar: the gender of nouns, pronouns, articles etc. is aligned with the sex of things.

Of course, the aspect of cultural arbitrariness of grammatical gender (with different languages assigning a different gender to corresponding words) leads directly to the new psychological meaning of the word.

> There's a usecase for lower-bounded types such as int_least32_t, where the compiler may choose a larger type if it offers better performance.

If you're looking for the best performances you shouldn't use leastX types, you should use fastX types (e.g. int_fast32_t for the "fastest integer type available in the implementation, that has at least 32 bits").

The difference between "leastX" and "fastX" is that "leastX" is the smallest type in the implementation which has at least X bits. So if the implementation has 16, 32 and 64b ints and is a 32b architecture, least8 would give you a 16b int but fast8 might give you a 32b one.
One of the unique(?) things about shooting is that it requires you to understand the absolute limits of the precision of control you have over your body. The slightest movement of your hands, arms, torso, or head is amplified 10,000 times.

Not only do you have to find the limits of control you have over your various muscle groups, but you must come to understand that which you have limited control over, such as your breathing, heartbeat, reflexes, and background muscle vibrations. All of these things conspire to push you off target, so you must find ways to suppress natural reflexes, manage your heartbeat, and gently work around the subtle background vibrations of your body.

I am conflicted about Uber.

On one hand, toxic company, we all know about it, they don't even pay as much taxes as they should. On the other hand, in Rome taxi drivers have been up in arms because they feel threatened by them, with violent protests in which people were beaten up and fascist salutes filmed. In my book, anyone who will put Roman taxi drivers out of business is a hero.

Toxic company or violent fascist taxi drivers. What a choice.
I'm not an English major, but in the FAQ section under "Does Keygen prevent cracking?" you wrote "requring" instead of "requiring".
I'll call you when they sue.
I never knew anybody who wasn't able to get around licensing AND downloaded cracks. Cracks are (were? is that still a thing?) just time savers. If you can follow some tutorials on replacing a binary with an edited one, you are brave enough to learn how to edit it yourself.

Also, that user is running some random binary from the internet just not to pay. Without that crack, you would never have had that user.
I don't, because I'm a cynical pessimist, but that doesn't counter my point.

Two orders of magnitude difference can't easily be blamed on CPU, in this case it depends on how optimized yes is. I have some older version of coreutils on one machine here and performance is similarly abysmal.
I am just now implementing Packer and Vagrant in our devops workflows. Terraform is next on the list.

So far, it leaves me rather anxious - Packer and Vagrant appear to offer the bare minimum of usable functionality, with any advanced scenario bumping into (sometimes intentional) walls.

For example, it takes me 15-20 minutes to transfer a 50 MB file to a Windows VM being created by Packer. The GitHub issue, filed nearly 2 years ago, is closed with a comment that this is by design: https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/2648#issuecomment...

Yet there is a PowerShell command that uses the same communication mechanism that can somehow do it in a matter of seconds. Of course, I cannot use this PowerShell command because Packer does not give me a variable with a machine's IP address because... it is improper somehow? https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/4993

What the hell, Hashicorp...

I have a list of 10+ issues I have found so far and I am only starting to use these tools. From the activity in GitHub, they seem to be abandonware.

Maybe if I submitted PRs they might be accepted (then again, maybe not: https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/pulls) but I expect more from software than just accepting PRs - I expect its authors to actually develop it and to show an interest in improving it.

There is unfortunately nothing better out there. I admit, I am forced to use these products even though I do not find them satisfactory and the authors do not seem helpful.

If I had to start all over again with my current knowledge, I might perhaps just write my own scripting and skip Packer/Vagrant altogether. The value they offer with VM management comes with the downside of being left in the mud and having the system work against you when you try something nontrivial.

I am scared of what I will find when I touch Terraform. As I write this, I think I will first see whether I can just script it manually.
All good valid points, but I'm still a bit surprised that the limit is not higher, I thought that the L2 cache was over an order of magnitude faster than main memory (plus, as someone pointed out in the reddit thread, the peak memory performance should really be double the quoted 12GB/s due to dual channel memory).

The actual throughput then, once you include OS copying, is either 2 or 4 times the quoted speed (depending on splice usage), so we're either at main memory theoretical speeds, or double main memory speeds. Intuitively, I'd still have expected that it should be a larger multiple.

(A quick search can't find me any reliable Intel L1/L2 cache speeds/multiples to quote, so I admit this comment is more speculation than it should be!)
That's true, although 'return' will only pop one frame off the stack whilst 'throw' will keep going until it finds a handler. Hence 'return' has a more predictable/consistent behaviour, and less context-dependence.
It's Citus Data and CitusDB, not Citrus.

I had a look at Citus for analytics workload (typically using full table scan queries), comparing it with Greenplum and Impala (which uses HDFS and Hive metastore, but not much more from Hadoop). I found Citus to not be very competitive with Greenplum; Greenplum executed table scans quite a bit faster, but more importantly Citus didn't have column stores without adding the cstore extension, and column stores massively increase table scan performance (like, multiple orders of magnitude); and cstore_fdw isn't in the box, you need to add it manually. Greenplum in turn didn't perform as well as Impala as data scaled up; also, Impala could deal with thousands of columns, whereas Greenplum and Citus inherit Postgres limits. Greenplum is also tied together with ssh and scripting duct tape, operationally it's a lot less flexible than HDFS.

Postgres on its own isn't very good at analytics queries, it's far too slow for similar reasons to why Citus without cstore was too slow for us, only you get even less I/O parallelization.

> Circumstances requiring engaging with pistols == bad day for everyone

I've shot a bit, but only rimfire long guns, air rifles, and air pistols. The pistols were harder to shoot by a _long_ margin, and I can imagine it'd get orders of magnitude harder w/ more recoil, noise to promote flinching, etc. etc.

So with your comments in mind, and my own limited experience, do you have any idea why every Police-critter here in Australia is armed with a pistol, rather than something easier to use? I mean, in my head it looks like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHEhMKQhGKE

"It feels like you're shooting a toy gun sometimes" (similar to my experience w/ a suppressed semi-auto .22LR)

vs. this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXeYAfMeaBY

The only things I can think of in favour of the pistol:

* Cheaper (maybe?)

* Less intrusive / easier to carry (for the 99.99% of the time when you _don't_ need it).

* Less intimidating (for those who don't know how hard it is to hit a moving target w/ a pistol ;) ).

Tor 0.3.0.8 is now live
- its not my reasoning, i'm just trying to explain quantum field theory.

- whether you call it "gravitational force" or "curvature of spacetime along whose geodesics massive objects slide" - the effect has to be mediated by a "particle". for popular media, "particle" is too big a word, because people tend to think of protons or atoms. subatomic particles are just excitations of quantum fields. little blips of localized energy, of which we are only able to see the top layer.

^ this has nothing to do with general relativity. general relativity describes the macroscopic world pretty well. it generally breaks down on very small scales.

how planets move is described very well by general relativity. how they mediate the involved forces is not described at all.

edit: i just thought about that straight line statement. there seems to be a misconception that a geodesic is a "generalized straight line". That is not remotely true. Geodesics, in mathematics, are "shortest paths". While that happens to coincide with what a straight line does in a plane, generalizing that meaning in the other direction doesn't work.

In general relativity, we talk about geodesics when we mean "out of all the possible paths we can take, we are choosing the one that minimizes energy loss". That is, then, a geodesic. But a geodesic is far from a straight line in terms of movement. Its the path of least resistance in the energy picture.

If you ask "whats the difference?" - the difference is that a straight line in energy space is not a straight line in regular space. Earth, for example, is travelling along a geodesic. But it is clearly accelerated towards the sun. There is nothing "straight line" about it.

When you fall into a black hole, you travel along a geodesic. But it wont feel like a straight line to you at all.

That you happen to be travelling along a straight line in the absence of forces is just a tautological truth. Applying differential geometry to that statement just makes it way more complicated to state the obvious.
A counter overflow factored in the THERAC-25's race condition (one of the software's interlock was an overflowable counter rather than a flag, if the operator started treatment right as the counter overflowed the system would proceed rather than refuse).

> The biggest man-made environmental disaster in written history.

I stopped reading right there. Now I expected to reach exasperation somewhere in the article, but not at the second sentence. Chernobyl is a wildlife haven, it shelters a sea of fauna and flora that would otherwise have been the typical suburban death zone of humans, cat and dogs and nothing else. The biggest man made disaster has been committed and is being committed as we speak. Billions of tons of CO2 is pumped into the ocean and into the air right this minute. The Chernobyl accident affected a few hundred square kilometers maybe killed 5000 people. Air pollution kills 700 000 people a year.

Please stop propagating this bloody bullshit.

Show HN: picodom – 1 KB Virtual DOM builder and patch algorithm
A lot of times a "freemium" application is really just developers rolling their own "try before you buy" solution. A few bucks makes sense for something trivial, but if I'm charging north of 5$ for something that will be in frequent use (say, an expense tracking app), I completely understand that the user first wants to verify that the app fits to their needs, something you can't do from looking at a few screenshots.
I have no LEO experience but I'd imagine increased mobility, decreased chances of rounds exiting the target and hitting an innocent bystander, and cost are the primary reasons.
> to the mass it is just going straight, even if to an external observer it appears that it is curving or even orbiting.

You're hiding a lot of assumptions in this idea. That model of curved geodesics sounds sensible in isolation, but it's completely contrary to how all other known forces work and seems incompatible with quantization (which is again how all other known physics works). I mean sure the universe conceivably could have three fundamental forces that work via particle exchange and one that works by curved spacetime, or magic, or the hand of god. But that doesn't seem very likely, and that kind of inconsistently would go against the history of physics up to this point.
