But this implies that you could re-implement/modify/publish something from a paper and just not cite it because you deem it to be nonsense. That's surely dishonest. If you've read something which closely relates to your work then it's your responsibility to make this clear, whether you like the paper or not.

If it doesn't relate to your work, or you haven't read it, then obviously it needn't be cited.
What bugs?

I recently setup a software mirroring raid with btrfs and I'm loving features like checksumming. It makes me feel my data is quite safe and can't bit rot anymore. So far it is working fine.
My masters thesis is based on a single arXiv paper. I didn't know that arXiv had this questionable reputation, but it sure explains a lot.

The project is to make an FPGA implementation of a technique presented in an arXiv paper. The paper had some big gaps, so I had to spend a lot of time researching the technique, and I had very little time to spend on the actual implementation.
I agree that it's going to be a big issue for Reddit if it wants to be a multi billion dollar company. If, on the other hand, it wanted to be a community site that pays to keep the servers running, it wouldn't be a problem.

That said, our ads weren't targeted at a sub, and they worked well.
This is a great article. It explains the various concurrency issues in fairly plain English, which is great! I wish more people were aware of these isolation levels and their consequences. Many application developers will either a) assume the database will always figure it out for them (in other words, they assume it is always serializable, with no errors) or b) hold great fear of the database and it's mystical use of locks - this type of developer tends to avoid running queries at all cost, lest they wake the beast!

> Chrome has been and continues to eat FF's marketshare alive because it has been both faster and lighter.

I believe Chrome got a larger market share also because it had the giant force of Google marketing it heavily on its properties for years, whereas Firefox only had some support of that sort from the Yahoo search deal (IIRC). More people land on Google's online properties than on Yahoo's.

I personally don't agree that Chrome is faster and lighter. For me (as a heavy multi-tab user) it has always been slow as molasses and a laggy browser.
Unless you work at amazon, you can't know that.

It looks very separated on the outside, but I've worked in so many companies that have appeared incredibly competent externally but have "snowflake" servers which keep things ticking over- Given Bezos treatment of workers I have absolutely no confidence that everything is as cleanly engineered as they claim.
How can you, specifically you the human, typecheck the program if it has an infinite loop in the types? If you can typecheck it, then I can write a compiler to typecheck it, repeat until my compiler can typecheck every correctly-typed program a human can write, at which point the problem becomes moot.

Unpublihed arXiv papers fall in the latter category.

In CS that almost certainly isn't true. I'm most familiar with the NLP field, but there, if you have some kind of embedding of your words/tokens/sentences/something you cite https://arxiv.org/pdf/1301.3781.pdf (Word2Vec, Mikolov).

That paper says there is a follow up paper published at NIPS2013, but I don't think I've ever seen that published.

The field just moves too fast to wait for conferences anymore.
Agreed, he was excellent.
As you probably know, building a sophisticated application can easily become quite complex. This is the case even if the application is designed to look non-sophisticated, as Twitter or Facebook, for instance. Now, when we are discussing desktop applications or mobile applications, people typically do not care all that much about the codesize, because it is essentially invisible to the user. For instance, who cares that the Steam binary (just the binary, without resources or dynamic dependencies) weighs 3.1Mb or that the Gimp binary (again, without resources or dynamic dependencies) weighs ~9Mb or that the Telegram binary weighs ~11Mb?

On the web, of course, since the application is downloaded dynamically, rather than being installed, people don't expect to wait and they start noticing. In some cases, web developers can fine tune their JS to make sure that less of it is shipped. Very quickly, however, this becomes horribly expensive, because it's a complicated problem with any language and JS is really not suited to static analysis and static code optimizations.

Of course, another part of the problem is that the delivery format of JS (i.e. the source code) is optimized for small files. For larger files, we can do much better. This is the objective of this project.

I have to say I agree. I'm only familiar with his recent writings but they didn't strike me as very original or standout reporting, so I don't get the adoration. I also found some of his on-stage tech interviews rather lacking in depth and personality.

I'm probably wrong though, and I get the impression I would have had to follow his contributions from his early career through to his later work to truly appreciate his influence on the tech industry.

Not that I'm disagreeing with you there, but I've also seen the opposite. I've had conversations with people who know their mainframe environment inside out but have no idea how a modern computer really works.

I'm under the impression that it often comes down to a combination of Dunning Kruger and a certain unwillingness to inform oneself about "new" things (i.e. things one doesn't know about yet) - and those seem to exist in both camps. So, just maintaining Aristotle's mindset and keeping an open mind seems like a good starting point to me in that regard.

Perhaps I am just a jaded westerner, but the ability to freely spread ideas counter to the ruling government is a fundamental right.
Quoting from the article:

"These are obviously experimental tools and there’s no guarantee they will ever make it into a release version of Firefox. Indeed, the idea behind Test Pilot is to allow the Firefox team to test new concepts."

The efforts on making Firefox faster and more responsive have been going on for a few years (e10s/electrolysis being one of them) and are appearing in the releases as fast as the team can develop, test and deliver them. I personally believe Mozilla has a highly capable core team on this, and to insinuate otherwise, to me, seems like accepting commercial interests of other browser makers as higher than FLOSS interests. I don't disagree on quality of the product being a huge aspect in value judgments, but it cannot and should not be the only one.
That's where it gets tricky.

Let's say something substantially better comes out 5 years from now.

Do you really want to be a guinea pig for that?

You may end up waiting 10 or 15 years after the new thing comes out just to make sure it's properly field tested and successful in a majority of people. Plus, you still don't know how long it will really last because there's no real world data.

Then there's the whole skill level of the surgeon placing the implant.

Some dentists take 2 day seminars to learn how to place implants, and are able to start doing them on real people afterwards. Do you really want that guy to do the job for you?

Because it's going to take 5+ years before anyone builds up enough experience to be even be in a spot to say "I'm really comfortable placing these things because I've seen it all".

> Many reviewers are abusing the system and asking for ridiculous comparison to recently-posted preprint papers. Bald-faced flag-planting should not be rewarded. And we should not be faulted by reviewers for failing to compare against 2-week old algorithms that may or may not work.

The context seems pretty clear to me. Your example clearly is covered by the first case: if it influenced your work, you cite it, even if it is "nonsense". You can't just "decide" something didn't have influence if it had. (These rules do not prevent cheating, they are guides for people acting ethically)

The second rule is to prevent the opposite case: You shouldn't be forced to create the impression your work is based on or just a mere repeat of someone else's "who had the idea first" when they have no good claim to that, or inferior to something that hasn't been shown to be actually better.

Out of curiosity: do you actually use `Function.prototype.toString()`? I haven't seen any use of this method in years. Plus the few uses that I have seen were libraries that attempted to rewrite other libraries and broke at pretty much each update of their dependencies.

There may be legitimate uses of this method in production code, but I can't think of any from the top of my mind. If you can think of one, don't hesitate to file it as an issue in the linked tracker.
Yet the actual effect is that the Firefox' browser extension marketplace is severely reduced (by their own descision, admittedly) while Chromes' stays the same for the time being.

These Test Pilot experiments usually last for a few months, but there's no fixed end date, I don't think. It's mostly just a matter of having gathered enough feedback.

But well, if it seems like a feature that people want, then it gets included into Firefox itself and stays for longer.

Then, again, I for example can't at all imagine them including that file-sending mechanism. I doubt they even have the server capacity for that...

That "forced censorship" isn't about a right to be forgotten or any reasonable definition of freedom of expression. It's about a company violating IP rights.

The US government puts the same pressure on Google. Worse actually, because the DCMA expects it to be done without a court order (which has lead to rampant abuse on sites like youtube).
RC only for strings originally, later dynamic arrays, variants and interfaces; I no longer recall if the legacy OLE automation classes did automatic RC, but I don't think they did (beyond explicit RC in constructor / destructor implementations).

I maintained the Delphi compiler front end for 6 years or so, adding closures, enhanced RTTI, a bunch of work on generics and 64-bit porting, and some other things that ultimately didn't see the light of day. I have a long list of things I don't like about the Delphi language, corner cases you only really become fully aware of when living with the workarounds they force on the codebase.

Overload resolution is an almost wholly unspecified mess, for example. It started out Java-style, but the definition of more specific isn't locked down, and everything from strong typedefs (type TFoo = type TBar;) to closures (MyFunc(methodRef) - do you mean to pass method ref or result of calling method ref), to ranges (are smaller ranges more specific? what about overlapping ranges?)... and don't get me started on all the different string types.
Well it wasn't that you weren't being specific, more that you were casually maligning the JS community unfairly, when the article isn't even about web/JS :)

(I also don't agree with 'don't need to'. The main takeaway from the leftpad debarcle was the fixes to the npm module deletion policy, and hopefully people learning they shouldn't rely on an 'npm install' for production deployments!

Long ago I worked for a sporting goods retailer and edited photos of sporting equipment all day. The managers thought they were doing us a favour when they put us in a room with a dozen skylights. It was utterly, insanely, bright. After a week of staring at your own shirt's reflection in the monitor while trying to gauge colour (not to mention needing hats with brims or sunglasses indoors) we bought beach umbrellas to block out the skylights. Admittedly, this did make the office feel fun, but it definitely defeated the entire purpose of skylights.

But then, I'm a little odd for preferring to work in my dark cave, I suppose. I just wish there were more openness to the idea that not everyone enjoys trying to look at a computer screen in a room as bright as a summer beach.
Except the downsides are mostly for the users (extensions stop working) while the upsides are mostly for the browser developers. (Better ability to refactor and update)
> Actually, I think this can be very easily done fully client-side, with good accuracy. Even on Android, the voice recognition can run client-side / offline.

I'm not sure I'd say it's easy; you will certainly trade off accuracy versus a state-of-the-art server model. Among other things, Firefox users are not going to download gigabytes of recognition model, so it'd have to be a lot smaller than the server ones would be.

Very possibly it will be slower too, since the servers would most likely be using GPUs for at least parts of the recognition, but it might not be easy to ensure the same on all the millions of PCs Firefox runs on.

On the other hand on database workloads, for example PostgreSQL, XFS and EXT4 are about equal these days. ZFS (at least on Linux) and Btrfs are both clearly slower on those workloads.

Here is one benchmark, but I have seen plenty of similar benchmark results for PostgreSQL showing the same thing: https://blog.pgaddict.com/posts/postgresql-performance-on-ex...
I don't get the distinction. Nobody expects you to cite something which you didn't read, or which didn't influence your work.

The question here is whether you should cite something which you did read, and does relate to your work, even if it's a shitty flag-planting paper.

If you think it's shitty, then you can cite and dismiss it in a sentence. You can dismiss 30 papers in a single sentence if you like. There's no requirement to wax lyrical for 3 paragraphs about a paper just because it was first. But it strikes me as dishonest to advocate that sole researchers become arbiters of a paper's merit, citing or not citing it at their personal discretion.

Also, if their paper was published first then that's the only claim necessary to demonstrate that they were first out with the idea.
I would like to share my personal experience running Meoss.

I have been using Pure Mesos setup, without DC/OS for 2.5 years.

We have the following infra features.:

- 120 micro-services running using marathon.

- 10 batch jobs running using Chronos.

- So far, everything is reliable and no downtime.

- We have Ip-Per-Task enabled with Project Calico.

- We have Public, Private, and IP Access-list enabled per container using Nginx and ELBs.

- The max number of containers we ran on the cluster so far is 3620 containers.

- We have detailed graphs monitoring per-container generated automatically.

- We have (slack #alerts) alerting enabled.

- We have secrets store using vault.

In the end we had to use (Mesos, Marathon, Chronos, Vault, Consul, Nginx, Calico, ELK, TICK.) on AWS.

The thing is, We had to configure these things to work together nicely so it is not out-of-the-box solution.
Even though we haven't used Kubernetes yet, we are not religious to Mesos.

But at the moment, it seems we have everything we need and the team is happy with the current setup.
That would go against a core principle at aws which is to have every region completely isolated.

Also, deployments are designed to be exponential and no region should ever have a cross region dependency.
In enterprise installations people only install software that they can receive support for. So the biggest server farms probably all run something like RHEL or SLES.

Of course for private usage it's a little ove rthe top. But RH also offers solutions there. There's an upstream OS with all the cool stuff: Fedora. And a downstream OS that is just as stable as RHEL but free: CentOS (not sure if I get the name right. There are so many CabcOS out there nowadays).
