Correct, an application that reads single words from random locations will be cache unfriendly and latency bound. However additional memory channels means you can run more of them and get better throughput.

Personally I bought more cores when I can and find that the average and best case are very similar to CPUs with less cores, but the worst case performance is much better. With 8 CPUs I find that the browser, plex, processing batches of photos, transcoding video, running a minecraft server and other random duties have much less of an impact on normal desktop use.

It used to be MUCH easier to be I/O bound with spinning disks, but with the new M.2 SSDs some pretty impressive I/O rates are possible (random or sequential), which makes it easier to be CPU limited.

"...probably the only mayonnaise brand that most Americans could name?"

Depends on the region of the country. :-) Hellman's is East Coast, Best Foods is West (same company, basically the same product).

I expect that many could also name Kraft Mayonnaise. Note that Kraft makes both mayonnaise (which has eggs) and Miracle Whip (which doesn't).
> If you learn a lucrative enough skill, and the basics of negotiation, then you can find a corporate job that can fit your needs. I have a friend with narcolepsy, he worked ten years at a company that let him come in whenever he wanted to, usually around 3 or 4 in the afternoon.

How? Not a rhetorical question; most people, even with a lucrative skill and the basics of negotiation, don't manage that. How did your friend pull it off?
I like working. When a job makes it hard for me to do the work I'm good at, all of the joy gets sucked out of my day, and life becomes about hating work and recovering from work. For example, being hired as a Sr. Front-end Developer and then being tasked with manually cleaning up an unending amount of mangled HTML would suck big time.
It's relevant because it is another way in which the assertion that Apple is responsible for getting rid of DRM'd music is at best misleading. Apple was largely responsible for the distribution of DRM encumbered music in the post Napster era. [1]

The government has not provided convincing evidence that "Gulenist group did the coup attempt" although there were at least some Gulenists involved. Bellingcat got hold of the whatsapp messages of some of the coup guys and the seem much more like the Kermalist / secular military types that did Turkey's previous coup attempts. (https://www.bellingcat.com/news/mena/2016/07/24/the-turkey-c...)

Erdoğan was out to get the Gulenists as some of them did try to get rid of him by exposing his corruption earlier but that's a different thing from attempting a coup. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/turkey/1065...)

This isn't the most accurate thing, but looks to me like several millions USD worth of volume just in Bitpay. That doesn't account for all of the other payment processors, or the peer to peer payments, or the exchange trading, etc. I'm not saying dark markets aren't an early driver of Bitcoin, but it's not where the majority of the action is now at all.

I'm not sure middleware is the right term for a server that responds to webhooks.

Either way, I think this is a good introduction for someone who is looking to do very simple things with an IFTTT integration. I don't think a node.js server running a python script inside of a docker container is the best way to go about it. Anyone who is trying to learn how to write integrations to services (such as IFTTT) will get the wrong impression if they try to dissect this code.

“The day I confronted my troll” (2012)
Just finished watching their video and got nothing other than "Read our white paper if you're interested", plus bunch of buzzwords.

Why make the video at all? If I were them I would scrap all the bullshit and just spend the two minutes in the video explaining the basics of WHY and HOW it works. People visiting that site already know what a "decentralized bitcoin exchange" is.

At least under FIFA bylaws, once a player refuses to leave the field in a timely manner it's the obligation of the Referee to gather their associates and depart the field, ending the match.
Well, your manager and your boss's manager may KNOW that you had a job offer and is "wanting to leave the company". In addition HR flags you as well, perhaps they make notes about it, especially when they have to counter the offer. This is not really false thinking, this is how it works! Whether they blatantly flag you or they have it in their head, it acts as a "flag". If you are very well-liked and indispensable, it may be a good thing, since they will do what they can to make you happy moving forward. If you are not on the good side, you have to now understand that your manager and your manager's manager are informed that you had the intention of leaving.
The entire project is 89 lines of ES6 JS. Python 2 was just used for four lines of example middleware.

You can write middleware in anything that's executable via a terminal window.

I can see three reasons to "throw it out":

1) Replication failure, plain and simple.

2) Overfitting. There are dozens to hundreds of "cognitive biases" on lists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases. When you have hundreds of individual points, you really ought to draw some principles, and the principle should not be, "The system generating all this is rigid and inflexible."

3) Imprecision! Again, dozens to hundreds of cognitive biases. What possible behavior or cognitive performance can't be assimilated into the heuristics and biases theory? What can falsify it overall, even after so many of its individual supporting experiments and predictions have fallen down?

It looks like a mere taxonomy of observations, not a substantive theory.

Does basic income solve anything? Grasp the arguments for and against
Well...this kind of thing is here to stay, and at least some good may come of it. We can all be reminded that even "true" words are still just words.

An example from all of history: (This is only semi-serious, but felt like a good thought experiment).

> Oligarch to politician - "Make this economic change."
> Politician to team - "Give me post-facto justification for this change I am making." aka "Spin this"
> Team - Applies economics to numbers
> Team to politician - "Here you go."
> Politician to people - "Economics does not lie."
> Vaunted economics publications - "Sold. And thanks for the like."
> Economic failure
> Future politician - "Well, we just didn't know then what we know now."
> Historian of the future - "Their economic calculations lacked the full set of economic forces and incentives. The economists of the time were in effect hand-waving because they ignored a fundamental economic force--the oligarch. Given the size of the oversight, I'd say they were complicit."

Thoughts:
--Economic policy sold without disclosure (or even acknowledgement) of these massive forces is knowingly flawed, and a willing lie to handle people.
--Economic theory is rooted in psychology. When an economic decision is spun to cover hidden motives, the psychological motive basis of that instance of economics is, by definition, false.
--Data can still fool good economists when it is cherry-picked; any data produced by a non-omniscient process is going to be flawed to some extent.

* This is not to say anything good or bad about oligarchs. Merely that they are a tremendous force, and economics, political policy, and civil discussion could greatly improve with a more accurate model of their effect on global systems.

* I'd love to see an economic modeling tool able to place "black boxes" where market distortions are occurring due to probable hidden forces. Captive markets are a real nuisance.

nice! So, you are going more for the "mind map" approach right? I am a bit confused now. So links, notes, blog posts, and other 'items' you named on your first answer would be nodes here? I see how it would be very easy to find the category you are looking for, but how would that visualization help at the time to find a specific node? When you said "blog posts", "articles", "projects" where you mostly meaning a way to link to them, or to embed them into the app itself? In other words, is this a bookmarking tool or also a publishing/blog tool?

My idea is quite in a different direction. My best solution so far is http://multikanban.com . It really is just a personally customized kanban board. But it lets me navigate through multiple boards, each board is a project/goal/collection of tasks (maybe like your 'categories'?). Inside each board I store several things, notes, bookmarks, etc. And due to it being a kanban it helps me in the progress of getting it done too. Getting it done might mean several things, for example I have a Kanban board for books I want to read, so getting something done there means I just read a book. It serves both the purpose to see what I want to do, and what I've done, ad it helps me prioritise it too. However, it has lots of limitations.

Even though I'm quite happy with that solution, I want to complement it with something more along the lines of blog/publishing. I do have a blog, but I barely write there. I want to find something in between the small notes and the long blog posts. Which serves the purpose of storing thoughts, links, and categorizing it with tags, but without each entry needing to be a post, as we are used to in common blogs. I'm still conceiving it...if that wasn't obvious yet haha

>That's just silly. If you really wanted to get away from all human dependence, the path to that is clear, go live out in the woods off the grid.

For all your talk of irrationality, this is the classic slippery slope fallacy.

As if the only two options are dependence on salaried work as an employee and escape away from civilization.

Listening to you one would think that wanting to be an entrepreneur or a freelancer is something exotic, for really crazy daredevils. Something only terminally hippies would ever attempt. When it's not just extremely common, but it's just as valid way of working as any other.

Maybe the military is not the best place to learn everything there is about employment and the motivations of people, or about what's "rational"?

This approach has always interested me. I can train an decent Cats Vs. Dogs classifier in a few minutes. But real human intelligence takes many years of continuous and varied input to develop.

Are there systems out there that are taking influence from newborns being exposed to the world? An unsupervised learning system with a huge array of inputs running for years?
I wish IFTTT were faster. Many recipes only seem to be run a few times a day.

Sort of. You can buy an ATSC tuner on Amazon for about $35. There isn't any SDR software written for them, so you are buying a single purpose item.

The RTL-SDR dongles can't receive ATSC because ATSC is 6 MHz bandwidth and the RTL can only handle 3.2 MHz max.
People have been downvoting you because you're wrong, but someone should say why: the difference between your two examples is that a social network has some sort of value with a limited network, but a currency only has value where it is accepted.
When I was SCUBA training, my instructor made a point of telling everyone in the class :

"There are OLD divers and there are BOLD divers, but there are very few OLD, BOLD divers."

Every single time I had an issue under water, it was when I was trying something BOLD and it brought back the instructors words.

Martyn Farr's book [mentioned in other comments] is littered with examples of BOLD divers but when you look up to see what they're doing now, many of them are dead. Normally related to a cave incident.
At some point also post-TSA, they started referring to us as "customers" instead of "passengers", which is similarly irritating and unnecessary. It's also less accurate, since I am always a passenger when I fly, but often not a customer, since someone else (perhaps an employer) purchased the ticket I'm flying under.
Once you've gone to all the work of setting this up, you need to upgrade from the rudimentary dump1090 web interface. The best open source web UI I know of is Virtual Radar Server, which I run on my Raspberry PI using Mono: http://www.virtualradarserver.co.uk/

VRS displays much more information about flights and about your receiver performance, and is more customizable.
Just watched... going in style--where old geezers robbed a bank.. the guns were loaded w/ blanks--so just pointing a gun doesn't always mean intent to kill -- plus some people at age 19 might intend to kill, but by age 30 they see htey were an idiot and come around and are nothing like that, shouldn't they be able to re-enter society if not a threat any longer?

Now if they did kill someone that's a whole separate thing, and also aren't you innocent till proven guilty? Intent should not matter you can't be convicted of your intent, but of your actual actions which is you pointed a gun at a person, you did not fire said gun so shouldn't be accountable for the higher crime.. Not saying don't punish, but temper based on final outcomes...

had an uncle who's son robbed a hotel w/ his gun he was 18, his dad like 40's... he got something like 5-10 years. His dad who was asleep in the hotel room got 75 years because he owned the gun... He's been in jail since 1993, my grandpa died never having been able to visit/see him because he was all the way in Texas.
How would you suggest approaching these books in order to translate the "reading" into practical/demonstrable skills?

For instance, I'm currently working through The Web Application Hacker's Handbook and also trying things out with OWASP's Broken Web App VM's. I feel like the book is covering a lot more than the broken web apps do, and the broken webapps don't really give a ton of practice, although so far I've only gotten into the "Training" webapps (Mutillidae, Webgoat, DVWA etc), so maybe just digging into the "realistic" apps more will expose me to more of what's in the book. Just looking for some guidance on how to approach the reading-vs-doing divide.

Thanks for the advice.
The idea is to provide a DRY way to ensure that the examples are correct. Few things are worse than a wrong example.
Use of the phrase "not-necessarily-all-that-well-founded" is unfortunate since standard set theory studies the properties of extensional, well-founded objects in general. Though clearly you didn't have the technical understanding of well-foundedness in mind. Just might confuse ppl because there is a branch of set theory called "non-well-founded set theory" that is perfectly respectable -- I.e., and "well-founded" in the sense you intend -- but not about the same objects studied in the standard context.

I believe what you have in mind regarding set theory as "not ideal for 'foundations'" (why is the word foundations in quote, btw?) is that there is a recent push to reexamine the prospects more intensional foundations based on type theory. The most promising and currently fashionable version of this push is Homotopy Type Theory (HoTT), which has been given press and prestige from the IAS at Princeton and interest from Fields Medalist Vladimir Vovodsky (sp?). There are plausible reasons given, though often polemical, for preferring some sort of type theoretical or category theoretical foundations over set theoretical ones. Perhaps most importantly, for readers of HN, the comparatively easy formalization into computer-checkable proof and computer-assisted proof (look up, for instance, Coq).

That said, there is a long way to go before HoTT (or something like it) displaces traditional foundations and set theory. For one thing, there is no obvious axiomatization or way to confirm that HoTT is a suitable foundation for extant non-foundational mathematics. For one thing, standard type theory (MLTT) plus Vovodsky's univalence axiom is proof-theoretically equivalent to a subsystem of analysis. I would guess that, for instance, you can't prove that all Borel sets are measurable using MLTT plus univalence (but this is totally speculative and I would appreciate being corrected).

Last -- I suspect the only mathematicians who find set theory proofs beautiful are set theorists. Most other mathematicians don't really give af about set theory.

Serious question, why doesn't core switch hashing algorithms at the fork to something ASIC-resistant like Dagger-Hashimoto PoW. Seems like a win-win for them since they don't have to worry about the competitive faction causing havoc on their chain, the miners are more distributed, and there is an army of GPU hashing power that is looking for a place to direct their mining power towards with the Ethereum move to PoS on the horizon.
Does it matter as far as bitcoin's adoption is concerned though? I don't know if it works differently in other countries but at least in Europe you pay the same price whether you pay cash or use a debit/credit card, even though the shops probably prefer cash because they don't have to pay any fees on it.

Do you think thinks will be different for bitcoins? Because if I end up having to pay the same price in BTC as I would with cash or Visa and on top of that I have to pay the bitcoin fee then as a consumer I'm not exactly better off.

>if cryptocurrencies become widely used for purchases, they, too, will likely become subject to tighter regulation.

I thought the whole point was to make a currency that could not be regulated by governments? If my coins are stolen what can the government do? It's as difficult to track as cash (if not more difficult) and it's completely immaterial like a credit card number. It's the perfect tool for thieves, as this ICO hack demonstrates. If the thieves are a bit patient and take the time to split and move their money around to hide their tracks they might never be found.

This was my first thought. In my case, I'm using an ESP8266 wired to a lux sensor and a motion sensor. I wrote some really basic code to poll the sensors and send the data via MQTT to my home-assistant.io container. HASS seemed like the logical choice given the disparate Z-Wave, Zigbee, Hue etc. devices in my home. The only challenge I didn't solve in the ESP8266 code is monitoring of its power supply (rechargeable AAs). I even 3D printed a decent-enough enclosure for the device. It looks kind of like a Dalek and a hockey puck had an unwanted lovechild.

Visualizing the memory of a NES as it runs a game
the author raises some valid points, but i don't like the style it is written in. He just makes some elaborate claims about the limitation of Deep Learning, but conveys why they are limitations. I don't disagree about the fact that there are limits to Deep Learning and many may be impossible to overcome without completely new approaches. I would like to see more emphasis on why things, like generating code from descriptions, that are theoretically possible, are absolutely impossible and out of reach today and not make the intention that the tasks itself is impossible (like the halting-problem).
