I think the flat hierarchy in the Scrum religion is an oversight. When designing a religion, what you generally want is a sense of accomplishment as you climb the ladder towards alumni status, with knowledge revealed in rituals such as commercial lectures and materials along the way. This is what gives people a sense of achievement, keeps people stick to a religion, and makes a decision to drop out increasingly hard. L. Ron Hubbard did know about this aspect of human nature all too well.

It's not actually; typing.NamedTuple is just a wrapper that calls the original collections.namedtuple. It does provide some additional features, like default values and methods.
You conveniently ignored that the top Xeon-W processor has 28 cores, not 18, and 2.5 GHz, not 2.3 GHz base clock. So your calculation for Intel should be more like 2.8 * 0.76 = 2.13. We are not comparing against i9-7980XE here.

Still, EPYC wins on max memory (2TB per processor) and number of PCI-e lanes (128 vs 48). And of course the price.
If you are really interested in improving the startup cost then the first thing is to put everything, including the Python standard library, into .zip files, so it can be zip imported. That removes a lot of the directory/stat overhead. The comment you pointed to did not do that optimization.

For example, I supported a 10 year old set of CGI scripts running on a machine with Lustre filesystem where every filesystem metadata lookup was painfully slow. (See ehiggs' comment at lwn.) I spent time to trim away every import to the bare minimum.

Once you do that, other factors become more significant. (Remove your biggest problem and something else becomes your biggest problem.)

If the view is that a few milliseconds here and a few milliseconds there isn't a problem, well, those milliseconds add up.

'import scipy' (which depends on numpy) takes 3x longer to import than Python itself does. I have replaced dependencies on scipy when the overhead of importing the one function I needed took longer than my program took to run.

There's an old story along these lines, recounted at https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?story=Saving_Lives.txt :

> One of the things that bothered Steve Jobs the most was the time that it took to boot when the Mac was first powered on. ... One afternoon, Steve came up with an original way to motivate us to make it faster. ...

> "You know, I've been thinking about it. How many people are going to be using the Macintosh? A million? No, more than that. In a few years, I bet five million people will be booting up their Macintoshes at least once a day."

> "Well, let's say you can shave 10 seconds off of the boot time. Multiply that by five million users and thats 50 million seconds, every single day. Over a year, that's probably dozens of lifetimes. So if you make it boot ten seconds faster, you've saved a dozen lives. That's really worth it, don't you think?"

How many people use Python? How many times is it started per day?

If you're using Python 3.6, it's a lot easier now. You can do:

from typing import NamedTuple

class Point(NamedTuple):
x: float
y: float = 0.0

and then Point(1.0).y == 0.0.

I agree completely, and honestly I did something very similar with books. It doesn't really matter if you're staying up until 1 AM imagining things, watching TV, reading a book, or any other activity… The issue is that you're not asleep getting ready for school, perhaps not having done your homework.

The difference though is that somebody looking at a smart phone is seen as antisocial, where is someone buried in a book is not, although of course the person in the phone could be reading a book! Most of this is with the politicians call "optics" you know?
There is nothing inherently wrong with the goal of eugenics. The problem has always been unethical treatment of the individual components of the society implementing them.

Gene editing is a responsible for a society to engage in eugenics without forced sterilization or killing off undesirable segments.

The 'damage' of this method is opt in. Those who choose to 'stay natural' will fall behind and become a disadvantaged underclass.
I think the difference is that you have a right to procure food and a right to create your own shelter. You don't have a right that requires someone to give you food or give you shelter.

> There are a few things to note here. First take a look at AMD’s 1S Epyc pricing, specifically the 32C 7551P. It costs $2100 or a mere $101 more than the 28C Skylake-X for 14C more, 1.25TB more addressable memory, and no artificial fusings of bells and whistles.

The math doesn't work out here: 32 cores isn't 14 cores more than 28 cores. I think this was a typo and the author meant to compare with the 18 core Skylake-X, which exists (whereas there is no 28 core model).

One option is Varnish [1] with some DNS routing to your caches. It's well tested and deployed.

Premature optimization is the root of all evil in programming.
- Donald Knuth
1974
I'm not convinced this point carries. Sure, "lump of labor" is a fallacy, more productivity is not likely to drive massive unemployment. But that doesn't mean all labor is interchangeably easy in all environments. Competition is still possible.

Early tractors didn't do much for underdeveloped nations. Mainframe computers didn't either. The default state of capital-intensive technology is to improve productivity, but not to bring capital and work into underdeveloped nations. Whatever benefits accrue there are the diffuse rewards of expanding global production.

The economic boom in China, Taiwan, etc was something vastly more specific than "rising labor productivity". Container ships, telecommunications, (Western labor laws,) and efficient but labor-intensive production came together to make offshoring incredibly profitable. The boom wasn't just rising productivity, it was a confluence of incentives that made production in certain countries much more attractive than others. We didn't just make more things, we closed factories in the West and reopened them in China.

If the next wave of productivity gains is high-capital, high-tech, low-labor, we'll probably see the reverse happen. People will engage in production where they can get extremely stable infrastructure (including internet), skilled labor, and precision parts. Factories in countries with cheap labor but unreliable power and internet might well close in favor of more production in countries like South Korea or even America. That won't be the end of the world, productivity will still rise, but it might end the specific forces that have caused so much growth via mass production.

IPC, clock speed and core count don't tell the whole story any more.

All these latest generation chips boost clock speed ("turbo" mode) the fewer cores there are in use. AMD is far more generous with its turbo modes at multiple tiers (read: higher percentage of top turbo speed at the same active core count) although at a significant TDP cost
> Google proved that all you need is a colorful logo and a stupid catch phrase ("Don't be evil") to get people to treat you as an infallible, altruistic entity - regardless of the fact that your actions tell a completely different story.

I don't think the logo or catch-phrase have much to do with it. Google's search engine was orders of magnitude better than anything else when it came out (that's how they won the market) and they've used their dominance of the web to improve their search to the point where the search box can read your mind. That is why people treat them as good -- because "morally good" and "usefully good" are difficult to separate.

You see Apple users (and maybe Linux users?) as religious zealots and assume they must have been tricked by a pretty logo or some CS hazing ritual. What's actually going on is that they're reacting to one very positive experience (maybe along some dimension that you don't care about) and following the human inclination to extrapolate that experience to the whole product/company.

In the "new lingo", GIF means a short animated image loop. See, for example, /r/gifs or Twitter's "Add a GIF" feature. A "GIF" can be in .mp4 format, for instance, so there's little connection (other than historical) with the actual GIF image protocol.
Every inch of rain absorbed makes a rather dramatic difference. Because, floods are moving a lot of water but they also contain a lot of water which is time shifted over a longer period of time.

Think of it like a building being evacuated though a stairwell. Being say 10 vs 11 floors can make a significant difference in average wait time. Except average weight time is equivalent to the height of flood waters.

You're just being pedantic about what the word right should mean; it's silly. Rights are whatever society agrees them to be, that's it. It's an ever changing mutable list of what people agree to respect, nothing more and nothing less.

What would happen to the long-term legitimacy of the bitcoin market if corrupt state actors started investing heavily in order to hide money laundering?
It depends. Being forced to split into multiple companies which can't collude would also crater their revenue. Presumably, the amount of revenue loss from being split into different companies would be weighed against the amount of revenue loss from losing a continent. Either one would be devastating.

While I knew Google would never sacrifice the EU market to avoid this fine and some changes in search behavior, Google might sacrifice their EU business if it meant the end of Google as we know it. (Aka, they were ordered to break up.)

Of course, the main reason they functionally can't leave the US over a policy decision is that their headquarters and the vast majority of their senior talent all live there, and they would have very little left if they tried to move out of the US.
The only thing to be careful of is local fire ordinances and controlled burn reporting. It's a minor issue, probably wouldn't trip you up in most places. But I have known people who burned (small) piles of leaves without reporting and in non-drought conditions end up with fines for their trouble.

Very much varies by local rules. If you're in a county in GA you can probably get away with it without trouble.

> See, that's where your argument makes no sense. ISPs don't want to argue prices with their customers. They want to extort businesses that have never decided to be their customers.

> And you're assuming peoples' motives ... because selling your fun little game or whatever would require you to sign agreements with every single ISP in every single market that you want to target.

> ...Google, Facebook, and Amazon are large enough that throttling them or blocking them would lead to a customer revolt.

> This is about business you and I don't yet even know about, because it doesn't exist, or because it's small.

This argument is clearly all about our mistrust of monopolies. You clearly don't trust ISPs as a whole, presumably because there is naturally no competition.
If you and I don't know a small site exists yet, how is the ISP gonna know? And small businesses aren't going to be targets, for the same reason the IRS doesn't target the small fish with its big guns.

Setting the economics aside, if one is worried about ISPs ability to target free speech by surcharging a particular site, then how is getting the federal government more involved the answer?

> The point is that _rights_ ought to be things that, in the absence of a society, you already _have_.

That's simply just an absurd and frankly silly point. Stop arguing about what words should mean and pay attention to the message people are communicating. Rights are whatever society agrees they are, it's as simple as that, nothing more and nothing less; no rights are inherent. There is not "should", there is only what is.

The city I live in is in suburban sprawl mode right now. The main reason is apartments in city cost a fortune if you want reasonable amount of space.

Since the think tank has tax exempt status, it is indirectly subsidized by the government both in terms of their operating expenses being lower and in Google's tax offsetting writeoff. Which is why churches and think tanks occasionally lose (or are threatened with losing) their tax exempt status if they make political/commercial statements.

I think a case could be made that the firing reveals the org for what they are: more of a PR firm than a think tank.

I'd guess all their messaging on the guy's "separation" was around avoiding triggering an IRS audit more than anything else. Although losing Google's patronage might actually cost them more than losing tax exempt status, losing the status would likely mean Google would stop funding as they'd lose the tax write-off. So, losing tax exemption would basically be a death knell.

The government subsidy issue also implies a degree of actual 1st Amendment speech implications. The power to tax is the power to kill/silence/stifle/etc. I don't want to overstate that point, but this may be one of the rare instances where the "censorship" cry carries at least a little validity.
The Inductrix Blade I have comes with an FPV camera built into the drone. It comes with a 6" FPV screen, and a big plastic clamp to hold the screen above the controller. This makes the controller assembly a little awkward, since the FPV display is heavier than the controller to which it mounts.

VR Headset might be a bit too much, but it's probably better than a small screen mounted awkwardly to a lightweight controller.
