Enthusiasts will build systems with 3 x GPUS (16 PCIe 3.0 lanes each) + 2 x M.2 (4x PCIe each) = 56 PCIe lanes, just for peripherals. Workstations might use one or more 10GbE (4x PCIe each) and even 40Gb/s infiniband devices (8x or more PCIe.)

Not hard to use these up when you're going big.

Li-ion batteries have a high energy density in terms of both weight and volume, when compared to other types of batteries.

True, but it shows that Patreon will make it a priority to refuse service to people they disagree with. If I were a creator in Patreon who in my spare time engaged in such activities, it's clear that Patreon is willing to ban my account.

im a die-hard believeer in spaced repetition - i use it for everything (languages, books, code, etc.) it's basically impossible to use for audiobooks.

my bet is if you test yourself on a book you listened to two years ago you will not remember 99% of it, and if you read it it's probably more like 95% percent of it.

then again, everyone's mind is different, so maybe you retain voice more than audio
I'm happy to have a standard formatter because it saves me time.

I write my code ignoring indentation and whitespace, then autoformat it moments later.

This could be said for any capitalist business. You can't build a repeatable business around scamming. At most you can do it once or twice before word gets out...

Just because it's operators are anonymous doesn't mean the consumers operate in a limited information marketplace. Word travels quickly.

The simple fact is you can make far more money not scamming people by running a real mixing service than by scamming a couple people once. So ultimately the real services with get built and gain a reputation and a large audience.

People will get burned more often with BTC but it's a cost of doing business in black/grey markets. But that hasn't stopped billion dollar black markets from existing for the entirety of modern advanced human economies.

I noticed this as well. If you poke around, you can see that only 53 cities are currently available. I tried "Portland" and received "Orlando" as a suggestion. Looks like it uses some sort of half-baked search algorithm that looks for a close match, but does not work so well.
Agreed. I've been following the spec for a few months and while # is "ugly," it serves the purpose of the concept well and works with the current spec/implementations without much headache. Seems like a win-win to me and I haven't seen a convincing argument for why private # properties shouldn't move forward as they are.
Unfortunately StackOverflow hasn't aged well over the past few years, mostly because of way, way, way overzealous killing of "duplicate" questions. (IMHO, if it's not literally a word-for-word retyping of a previously answered question, it's not a duplicate.) But whatever the theoretical merits of it, this no longer works now that every system is following the CADT release model. A question that was answered perfectly well 18 months ago requires a completely different answer today, but the re-asking of that question today gets squelched with visitors being pointed to now-obsolete answers.
Still one of the best books I've read, period. Can't recommend it highly enough.

This article is unclear about whether the RIAA actually executed the raid and on what legal grounds.

> GW is, however, a characteristic of an energy storage system, and just a valid and important measurement as the amount of energy it stores.

Wrong.

The watt is a measure of power, not of stored energy. These are different physical notions. So, yes, you could say that some storage facility can output up to so many GW, but that's actually a measure of how much energy per second can exit the system when it's being used.

The proper unit for measuring an amount of energy that's stored in the system is the Wh (or its multiple the GWh), which has the same dimension as the joule, which is the standard unit of energy.

GW is like how many liters of water per second can exit the storage tank when it's being emptied. GWh is like how many liters of water total are stored in the full tank. And yes, both are important when designing a battery system. But saying "GW is [...] a valid and important measurement as the amount of energy it stores" would fail you high school physics.

GWh is static energy (or simply - energy). GW is energy moving from point A to point B, which is power.

Here's a brief introduction to the basic meaning of these terms:

Some in the JavaScript community have been asking for private members as a language feature and some folks do not want this as there is a subset of JavaScript programmers who worry about many concepts from OOP "polluting" the relative minimalism of JavaScript. A fear I share to a certain extent.

From reading the thread it sounds like some feel that the addition of private members is being accomplished by fiat rather than community consensus.

Fair point. All my touch points (Lisp, JavaScript, even a bit Haskell and several books) all proposed immutability as being a fundamental principle.

Would you mind expanding a bit on that point in case I totally misunderstood something?
Well I don't see it used in a lot of code, so in that respect I think it is obscure. Also, using the "self" approach allows one to lexically bind to the enclosing scope, which aligns nicely with how most functional programmers think.
I felt like I was having a stroke.
This is the primary reason I didn't like the idea of adding "classes" to JavaScript in the first place. Classical OOP doesn't really have a place here and all it does is invite the wrong type of thinking into the language.

A linear type system isn't strictly necessary for this pattern; this is a common trick in Rust, which only has affine types: http://insanitybit.github.io/2016/05/30/beyond-memory-safety... . Indeed, it's lovely for validating state machines at compile time.
They do, but they don't allow sequential pulling of match data.

I would have to collect my own data and poll their API with each match id to get the MMR estimate.

Although that works in theory, their API rate limit is 3/s and last time I checked there were about 1M matches / day (~12/s) so we couldn't keep up.

Massively over broad.

> Section 37 (Making, supplying or obtaining articles for use in computer misuse offences) inserts a new section 3A into the 1990 Act and has drawn considerable criticism from IT professionals, as many of their tools can be used by criminals in addition to their legitimate purposes, and thus fall under section 3A.

Basically supplying a disassembler to someone who then uses it for a crime is itself possibly covered for example.

It's the possibly that's the problem, when you can't tell if an offence has actually been committed you leave it open for abuse.

I like this approach a little bit better.

Only having "peak" and "off-peak" could have a waze-like effect, directing more people to "off-peak" might help distribute the demand surges a little, but probably not enough.

Give me a fucking break.

Sean, Marcin, and I spent the better part of a year individually replying to tens of thousands of emails from people doing the Cryptopals challenges that we wrote and published for free. Do you know how much work that was? Here's a hint: it was a lot of work.

There are a lot of charges you can level at me to try to win a dumb message board argument, but the one where I want cryptography to be a secret priesthood known only to the anointed select is not one of them --- nor is the argument that I haven't taken the time to help make these kinds of cryptographic attacks easier for people to learn about.

Please immediately find one of those other arguments to substitute for this one, and, if you have it in you, take a moment to retract.

Thanks in advance.

Tesla is (was) a tiny company with a huge amount of room to grow. I would argue that Amazon already owns a LOT of its market.

In fact, I'm pretty sure it's now many times larger on its own than the entire online shopping industry was when it started.

I am skeptical, though, that it should continue on this trend. Maybe find new markets (like AWS), but they need to watch out for the tendency of organizations to attempt to grow themselves far beyond what makes sense.

Similarly, GM or Toyota do not need to take on huge investments to grow big. They are already very big.

> Well... for some of us, when you say "functional programming", you say "Haskell".

Haskell is a single, functional programming language. It is not the definition of what a functional programming language is. If you mean Haskell, say Haskell. But don't try and redefine "functional programming" to mean "this one specific functional programming language that I happen to like".
Both pilots have said they thought the lit runway was 28L, and thus the taxiway, without visible approach lights, was 28R. If the pilots thought the approach lights for the desired runway were obscured by ground fog, which is possible at SFO, they might have made that assumption.

> Functional programming "treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids changing-state and mutable data." That is the definition of functional, and it's the whole definition. No mutation, that's it. Including the features you wrote about is not functional programming, it's other things.

Are you meaning that "no mutation" is the definition of functional programming? That's such a vague definition I can't see how it is useful personally. "Stateless" is already a word that covers that.

If you're going to quote Wikipedia, keep going to the "Concepts" section that lists language features:
"A number of concepts and paradigms are specific to functional programming, and generally foreign to imperative programming (including object-oriented programming). However, programming languages are often hybrids of several programming paradigms, so programmers using "mostly imperative" languages may have utilized some of these concepts.[40]"

> The author was pretty clear that this is functional programming concepts as applied to arrays in JavaScript, he never claimed that this post covers functional programming in general.

Why do you keep comparing to middling dumbphones? Compare the iPhone to contemporary high-end smartphones and you'll see that the iPhone was behind on pretty much every metric. The big exceptions were:

1. UI.

2. Web browser.

3. AT&T unlimited data plan.

It turned out that those three metrics were really important, and that being ahead on a few really important metrics is better than being ahead on a bunch of less important ones, but it's just not the case that the iPhone was ahead "on pretty much every metric."

> I think that's the question I posed to you.

Can you be more specific? I don't know what you're actually asking. Are you asking why anyone would cancel? That's because sometimes people change their minds, especially when it involves giving a $1,000 interest-free loan. Are you asking if the cancellations are a counterpoint to the idea that the Model 3 will sell well? The fact that the cancellations are a small proportion of the overall reservations, and net reservations are still rapidly increasing, suggests the answer is "no." Or something else?
