I said entirely typical, not that it was a dick-sized "challenge".

A completely standard developer on .NET or PHP in 2008 was building pages that rendered at less than 10 requests per second. This is experience, not a guess, given that my role was improving the performance of those disasters. A completely average developer on node was building pages that was 10x to 100x better performance.

Secondly, simply spawning threads is laughably non scalable.

It's the easiest way to serve an dynamic ad, it will require further configuration to get it to go through your own domain, and ad blockers block by element selectors and ad placement, so even those served through your domain will eventually get blocked.
To avoid adblocker one would have to actually blend the ad with page moving it in the page to avoid getting detected, which might not be acceptable UX/UI.
Im curious as to how he's using vim + ensime. I've been trying off and on for the last 2 years to figure out a good workflow using ensime but i typically end up just turning it off after a few days. EnType only works for me when its completely obvious. EnImport seems kind of useless. After these 2, i just give up, tbh.

Still, I wont give up my text editor :) Any emacs folk like to comment on its usefulness? Its seems more fully implemented there.

Brave is getting around that with built-in support for their "Basic Attention Token" which will be rewarded to users just for using their browser.

It will be interesting to see how it works out.

Personally I am just sad that it takes so much energy to maintain the current cryptocurrency networks and they are already too slow for really interesting stuff -- which is why I wouldn't want to add more waste by mining in a browser :).
Except the fuel costs.

They used subsidized electricity costs through Tesla charging network at 0$ cost.

That would be like saying MB giving 0$ gas if u fill up at their designated gas stations.

Tesla still comes out on top, but I have never heard of that lengthy repairs for MB.
General maintenance a few hours, big issues a few days max.

U can take it to any MB dealership or authorized repair shop, or local shop.

Hi, I'm a Servo developer who worked on some of the Rust code that's in Firefox. Calls between C++ and Rust code in Firefox all go through "extern C" functions. Some of the code involves reference-counted smart pointers. We use RAII wrapper types in both Rust and C++ to ensure that refcounts are incremented and decremented correctly on either side of the FFI boundary.

P.S. This old blog post is not about Rust-in-Firefox, but it does cover a related topic: How the Servo browser engine (written in Rust) interacts with the Spidermonkey JavaScript engine (written in C++ and embedded in both Gecko and Servo), including garbage-collected JavaScript objects:

Getting access to rooftops is infinitely easier than trenching fiber.

Can you scale wireless in a modest city like KC? At what CIR? You would have to make use of extensive caching. Even the best hardware like ubiquity tops out for backhaul at 2Gb. That's always been the problem is wireless can't scale with speed. At least not in any spectrum us mortals can use.
It’s a cat and mouse game like any kind of fraud/prevention.
Sure, and that can be read to mean either that they knew graphs and links were missing (e.g. because they received the memo as plaintext) or that they purposely removed them out of political or whatever motives. Isn't the former the more parsimonious assumption?

Now that I check back, I notice that the gizmodo version also changed all of Damore's bullet-point list items to be singly-indented, where in the original many of them were doubly-indented. It's hard to imagine any motive for doing that intentionally, but it's what one would expect if Gizmodo got the text without its original formatting.
If 360 video kicks off, we might see resolutions resolutions much higher than 8K that ensure the viewport is always 8K. 10 bit colour is something that could get wider adoption. Also I'd assume bitrate will creep up with network speeds and storage prices, to reduce compression artifacts.
Best comment in the thread. What other outcome do people expect?

Why can't the browser do this? I mean, it's a universal function / feature, right? And ultimately, it's the browsers that's waiting, not to application per se. (Yeah, I okay. But you know what I mean).

I can't think of any good reason why the browsers can't help out with this UI / UX. Am I crazy?
At least the aluminium body of the Model S and X won't rust the way most cars do in places that use road salt in the winter. Can't say the same for the Model 3.
DeepL (was on HN earlier this week) also uses an attention-based mechanism like this (or at least, with the same intention and effect). They didn't really talk about it but the founder mentioned it to me. The two seem to have independently pursued the technique, perhaps from some shared ancestor like a paper they both were inspired by.

I've recently had to become pretty familiar with this subject for work, and your comment is only partially correct.

Li-Ion battery degradation is generally modeled as two (roughly additive) components, called calendar and cycle aging. Calendar aging is what you're talking about in your comment - it's basically determined by the temperature and state of charge. Both of these impact the rate of chemical processes that lead to loss of lithium and active material. This is what happens when the battery is sitting on the shelf.

Cycle aging, on the other hand, happens when you charge or discharge the battery and is driven mostly by the actual volume change in the anode and cathode when they get lithiated (it's quite significant, up to 15% or so in some materials). This introduces mechanical stress, which can break the protective film that forms between the electrodes and electrolyte and allow chemical degradation to proceed at a faster rate. The degree of mechanical stress is mostly determined by the depth of discharge, although rate of charge and discharge is also believed to be important. Cycle degradation is also impacted by the temperature at which the battery is cycled, in a similar way to calendar aging.

With high temperature variance (low temperatures will wreck your batteries too, and I can't recommend keeping them at 5C), calendar aging is the dominant mode. This is absolutely the case with cell phone batteries. However, electric vehicles, especially higher end ones like the Tesla, have an active cooling system that keeps the battery at a constant temperature, even when the car is "off". This is why many EVB warranties will be voided if you let them run out of charge for more than 14 days - at that point, the cooling system isn't working and your poor battery is at the mercy of the elements.

Under closely controlled temperatures, cycle aging is the most important factor, and it's dominated by depth of discharge. If you drain the battery as far as it will allow you every day, it's going to be hosed. If you only go down to about 80% of the allowed charge every other day, it'll last for quite a while. These numbers are roughly correlated, obviously, with the mileage on the car, but the relationship is not simple, and I'd caution against considering mileage to be a good determinant of battery degradation.

Some good sources if you want to learn more:

> The OMG token sale, which raised $25 million, took place in July and initially one OMG token was worth around $0.27. Today, the value is at more than $11, giving a return of more than 40X to anyone who bought in at the ICO stage.

> Another startling fact to note is that neither company has an actual product in the market right now. Although that is common with ICOs because investors buy into a product roadmap that will developed with the funds raised via the token sale.

No, don't worry, this isn't a bubble. We're just experiencing a speculative soapy-water sphere situation.
If we can't fix this problem, no one is going to be able to do it.
If I understand it correctly, it sounds like they used a NN to fit a surrogate model to the kind of analytical physics-based pipeline that they had been using before?
From your tone, I'm guessing you're not a Tesla owner. You're right, in that it is not your problem. If you wish to ensure it remains not your problem, don't buy a Tesla.

It's fairly new tech that's being made in small quantities. You'll face the same sorts of problems if you buy a Porsche. The Bugatti Veryon is recommended to have tire changes done by shipping it back to the factory.

Tesla is not ready for the mass market. It is not yet made in mass market numbers. Buying a Tesla today, and expecting to not suffer the consequences of being an early adopter, is silly. Maybe don't do that?
Lots of assumptions in this comment.

As I learned modern JavaScript this year, coming from Clojure most recently, I'm really digging JS's destructuring, extended object literals, spread arguments, and lambda syntax. It's a pretty dang sweet language to write in today.
> Let me add I am disappointed Bolt sales are so low

Well, they are also sold out in most places.

Bolt sales would be higher if they were actually in stock and available to purchase in every state.
You claimed that the disaster is the same if the government or a corporation is doing the censoring. I'm arguing that there's a difference between corporate and government censorship and as a result our reaction as a society is necessarily different.

Isn't this just representationalism?

I mean, I get that this presentation is based on more empirical grounds and on material which is more fleshed out than the speculations of long dead philosophers. But unless a person is unfamiliar with indirect realism, there isn't anything inherently mind-blowing about the idea of a "controlled hallucination". And this is what this TED talk is about.
Correct. That's the DSLAM (most likely with fiver backhaul to the central office).
Thanks. I get that's there's always been bias. But there have also long been principals of press freedom and unbiased reporting. What I was objecting to is the normalization of censorship and biased reporting.
Easy- just make ads that humans can't tell are ads. Also helps if you make ads that the FCC can't tell are ads! As they've been doing.... sigh.
The Software Engineering Daily podcast has a good ongoing series on ad fraud that explores why that isn't happening.

I disagree, and I am a model S owner for 18 months. Tesla vehicles seem to follow the "Microsoft in the 90s" trajectory where a 1.0 is a rushed and unstable product, 1.1 is a "service pack" fixing most issues and 1.2 is a reliable workhorse.
Thermal regulation is the most important difference, followed by low depth of discharge.

There are also some (rather weak) reports that if you take the individual 18650 cells out of a tesla battery they last significantly longer than the NCA 18650s you can actually buy from Panasonic, which indicates that they might made to better manufacturing tolerances or something, but it's really all about Tesla's treating the batteries much better during use.
No, you didn't. You recited the standard "first amendment only applies to govt lol" position that I unpacked, put in context, and addressed.
How can we prevent a battery from fulling charging? We plug a car/phone in at night, and wake up to it 100% charged.

Not the OP, but I knew what you meant I soon as I read it. But, did the typical .NET app really not make use of the Asynchronous Programming Model that was part of the standard library?

I ask because in 2008 I was only about 3 years into professional web development, and even I knew about stuff like the C10K problem[1] and that I/O Completion ports were apparently one of the few things that Unix people admired about Windows.

Ratings may go up, but with half as many commercials the profits would also go down. The league only cares about ratings insofar as it helps their bottom line.

Would you mind expanding a bit on this real-time auction thing, like how common it is and what the process looks like, or could you point me in the direction of the sources you used to make that claim?

I didn't say anything about a good idea.

I definitely think it's better for individuals and regulated corporations to own it than for the media to be state-run.
Fair enough. I grew up overseas, so my local knowledge only kicks in in '99.
Awesome. You have your wish. Surf around.
But whenever I have learned maths in strict lemma-proof form it was on the second time around. That is, I first had a general sense of the field and intuition about concepts and some of the results, and then rigorous stuff makes sense.

From everything I've read about how mathematicians work, I thought that was normal.
As a big hockey fan, I completely agree with this. The pads players wore 30+ years ago were pretty much nothing so if you tried to hit someone hard it hurt you as well. My theory is that the NHL would see less concussions if they reduced the padding but such a counter-intuitive process is never going to happen.

I'm curious, did Australian Rules Football go to padding and then remove it? Because I think that once padding is put in place, it's very tough to get people to remove it.
> there has long been an expectation that owners won't bias news reporting

Have you heard of a man called Rupert Murdoch?

"Owners don't bias news reporting" is an ideal, not an expectation. Pointing out an ideal case isn't appropriate for describing the common case. Biased news in newspapers have been with us for as long as there have been newspapers. Pretending it's something new, and that influence from outside the paper is something new, is just naive (perhaps 'wilfully ignorant') to the extreme.
I've thought of a few ways to do this, as you say there are a handful of good ways to do it. My issue has always been that (1) I'm not a good salesman (2) I wouldn't know where to get advertisers.

Would love to help build the tech if someone could deal with the business.
ive read a little about this before so i havent bothered to read the article. but as i understand it, ted was cross-examined by someone at harvard as a part of the mk ultra program. and as i understand it, this cross examination was not aided with any kind of drug -- it was a simple verbal exchange. i think a lot of people assume that ted was already crazy, and that is unfortunate because that point of view overlooks the fascinating observation that a persons mind can be broken with nothing but words. i really do find it fascinating. if you pay attention, you will notice that there are many clues floating around. high intelligence has an anecdotal connection with being sensitive or prickly. the flight or fight response is activated when presented with ideas that counter yours, politically. and, there are other events that cause similar symptoms to ted, like a bad breakup. overall, everything points to this vague concept of "identity crisis." i think we have all experienced that feeling at least once. but what is an identity crisis really? it seems to be triggered when our core concepts and ideas about who we are contradict each other. and when its triggered, it can have very serious consequences. so does this mean that someone is justified in keeping their core ideas and principles private? does it mean those things shouldnt be discussed? it is interesting to note that ted could have gone through the examination without any ill effect by simply refusing to disclose things too close to his "core." and there is another interesting concept: the idea of purposefully restructuring ones framework of the mind in order to prevent an identity crisis and similar things. for example, instead of trying to create a logical reason for doing certain things, either during rumination or during cross examination, one could simply say that "i did it because i felt like it." or "because i wanted to." this avoids a cross examiner from pointing out two actions one has taken whose proclaimed motivations contradict each other. "because i felt like it" cannot be contradicted. i think that there are probably a lot of things one might do like this to "harden" ones mind.

i think that intelligent people are often more vulnerable to cross examination because they ruminate more often and deeply than other people, and during their ruminations they give structure and motivation to their actions and ideas. once that structure is proven wrong or that multiple parts contradict each other, an intelligent person is unable to ignore it. this causes the brains machinery to grind and in some way stop working correctly. that is what really fascinates me, that an identity crisis is not a conscious thing but the literal gears of the mind grinding against each other. an identity crisis is a manifestation of something low level going wrong in the brain, in my opinion. i wonder if there are drugs or therapies that might stop the gears from grinding.
We occasionally use 'klicks' interchangeably with 'kay' or 'kays', but it's pretty rare.
Advertisers should have a centralized reporting service that pays bounties for submitting violators. Is fraud worth enough to support a whitehat community exposing the ad equivalent of "vulnerabilities?"
Is it unfounded to see ICOs as a form of unregulated gambling? I'm thinking particularly in terms of legal consequences for US-based entities offering ICOs. Can entities like the IRS or SEC punish companies or individuals that offer ICOs?
I might otherwise agree with you, but I find it hard to read when extra numbers are interspersed with the numbers that actually part of the calculation. I feel the readability matters more than the explicitness.
The GP's interpretation was arguably uncharitable, but your reply was uncivil. When you have a good point, please don't use it to make the thread worse.

If you search for the terms "real time bidding" and "ad exchange", you will find a lot of literature on how it works. The explanation and the technical underpinnings are a bit involved, which is why I'm not just outright explaining here, but you will find explanations pretty readily.

Not really, because the language doesn't make it difficult to write dodgy code and gives you no power to easily find such dodgy code. In other safe languages either you simply can't write these kind of dangerous code or it should be easier to catch them with just keyword search. In C++ you need powerful static analysis and some dynamic instrumentation to hopefully catch them.
Once again I bring out my trusty analogy of ad tech consistently shitting in a well.

It was up to the journalists. According to the interview Glenn Greenwald did on "Pod Save the World", Snowden gave the journalists a giant dump of documents and they had to go through them to determine what was newsworthy. Snowden also insisted that the journalists give the NSA a chance to ask for documents to be redacted/kept secret and explain why. Again, according to the interview, Snowden explicitly did not want a wikileaks-style dump of everything, all at one or drip-drip-drip.
This is being worked on! Several bits of the rust standard library have already been proven safe in the initial model.

I get why subdomains can be useful for preventing XSS and CORS issues, especially for non API-driven sites. The problem is that subdomains are used for all sorts of things, so just because something is on a subdomain doesn't signal that it's UGC content. Even if you hosted each person's content on its own subdomain, it would still be useful to have a standard way to signal that this content wasn't created by the organization who owns the domain.

The benefit of the tilde is that, at least as far as I know, it has never been used for anything other than signaling that something is UGC content. (Even if that was a technological accident and not its original intent.)
Some do, but like in most fields, fraud is a moving target, so you will always be a bit behind on the defense.
This should end well.
