Totally unscientific, but I think it's conspicuous that is right around retirement. Maybe people who are living on sheer determination lose their purpose. Maybe people who need to be busy are suddenly bored out of their minds. Maybe work kept them moving, and without it they tanked quickly.

I have no real proof, but I'll be prodding my father to find a side job or volunteer work or a really deep hobby as he approaches retirement.
What I am interested in is a programmable vector fabric that I can reconfigure fast (in say L2/L3 access times). right now there are 100s of AVX2 instructions & as the number of HPC applications grow it is only going to explode. My problem is that when you are using one vector instruction the silicon for the rest is just sitting around when it could be perhaps used to make a much wider SIMD unit for just the instructions I'll be using. If they can get just that right IMO it'll be a huge success.

IMO the problem with FPGA or even silicon dev is mostly tooling. I often say this, the biggest contribution to Open SOurce movement is not of linus/linux ..its gcc. just imagine if 'they' could tangle up every bit of open source code in IP litigation emerging from proprietary compilers.

It's good to see a nice easy script to do this. I can confirm that mounting the SD card as read-only works great. For a couple years, I used a Raspberry Pi as an AirPlay receiver hooked to a set of speakers, and whenever I was done listening, simply turned off the power. I had / mounted read-only and never had SD card corruption.
glad you mentioned Cloud Datastore. It seems that Firestore supersedes Datastore and Firebase. Is that correct? Any comparisons of Firestore vs Datastore?

> a language with all the performance of C without the footguns

IMO, this isn't even the right goal. The problem is that in many cases using C is itself a premature optimization. Consider two languages:

* C, which gives you performance by default at the cost of an entire arsenal of footguns with esoteric nonlocal trigger conditions

* Hypothetical language X, which has all the same footguns but engineered for safer triggering and locked up in a safe that you have to choose to open when you want C-like performance

I'd rather have hypothetical language X (which is an accurate portrayal of many real existing languages), because it's got better failure modes. Performance issues are less impactful, in general, and more importantly they are more obvious. It is usually easy to tell when code is not fast enough. The endless parade of CVEs ultimately deriving from memory safety issues, often decades old, is living proof that misuse of the footguns is frequently far from obvious.
Sometimes I wonder if the tech industry should adopt the orchestral model of auditions: prevent the interviewers from seeing the candidate, knowing their name, or hearing their voice. Judge them entirely on their code and text responses.

Sure something like this would probably result in complaints about "hiring for culture fit," but isn't someone who provides the correct answers and code a culture fit in the first place?
Everyone works differently, but for me thinking in a leisurely way does produce better outcomes. It's less that my actual thinking is somehow "slower", than that thinking about something and then letting it rest and come back to it, I have better conclusions than if I rushed to judgement.

I guess the phrase 'rush to judgement' is instructive. We're not just thinking, we're deciding of course.

If you can find out about a problem or issue or desire and very quickly come up with an architectural solution that will stand the test of time for years (at least without backwards-incompatibilities, which is what a redis requires), more power to you, but in my experience and observation most will not.

But I get it, you just don't agree with my basic suggestion, from your experience. That's fine. It's not really an argument about the speed of one's thinking. Nobody is "confused".
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

We're tired of obsessing about race.

We're tired of having accusations of racism, sexism, whatever-the-next-trendy-ism crammed down our throats at every opportunity.

The reality is, urban black (and to a similar extent latino) CULTURE does not value education. Until that changes, do not expect to see highly educated and skilled blacks and latinos bounding through the hiring process. Just ask the asians about minority discrimination - they outperform everyone and are openly penalized for it.

CONTENT OF CHARACTER. NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT SKIN COLOR.

Go ahead and delete this comment, it's not going to change reality.
The official native UI for .NET Core being discussed at .NET Conf 2017 was Xamarin.Forms, as they are adding macOS, Linux and WPF support as well.
That's a good point and I think also gets to the difference between an effective in-person lecture and one that would be just as good videotaped.
Public service billboards, ads on buses, things like that. They don't claim it directly- they imply it by saying that smoking is bad, but so is vaping, so don't let your kids vape. Things like that.

Look at this: http://stillblowingsmoke.org/ I mean right off the bat they're calling it smoke. That is so obviously an attempt to link e-cigs to tobacco. Hell, they even use the word tobacco on the page.
They often have operating margins of 1-3%. Gross margins (what people usually mean when they say 'margin') are usually over 5%

What? Operating costs are a core part of running a business. In what industry are things like salaries, marketing, and admin costs actually ignored? The inventory in a supermarket is mostly highly perishable - fast inventory turnover is a necessity of survival, not an optional business strategy.
When I say minority I mean anyone who doesn't have a European or American sounding name. Even white people with "strange names" benefit.

You're amazed that most Americans do not resort to murder when the legal system fails them?

That's why we have appeals courts. To appeal decisions by judges that you believe have failed you.

> Your data is your most valuable asset, and by using this you're locking it inside Google servers. If they decide five years from now to discontinue it, or to raise the pricing 10x, you're screwed.

You'd be able to move your data off of firestore. And there's legal business contracts around pricing. Google can't just raise pricing 10x overnight.

Are you serious? That wealth belongs to them until they make a sound decision to part with it. If that means they’ve decided to purchase something and haven’t been deceived, great. If that means they pass it on to someone of their choosing when they die, that’s their right too. When someone takes advantage of their weakened mental state, that is just plain reprehensible.
That's copyright for you. Its purpose has been totally inverted, and now, rather than functioning primarily as the artificial constraint on supply that allows people to market their intellectual goods, it's mostly used by big companies to quash competitive threats and silence dissenters (pretty much what you'd expect from an aggressive speech control like copyright).

Copyright is so ingrained into our assumptions and culture that we almost never think or talk about it, but it's the beating heart behind so much of what drives the biggest companies today.

Consider that massive logistical operations that deliver critical supplies to people across the country every day, like Exxon and Walmart, are rivaled by companies that just print out DVDs. At some point we need to look at this and ask ourselves why these people are allowed to use a strictly artificial, government-granted monopoly to capture returns so disjointed from the social utility they provide, and think about the bigger picture effects of awarding them that excess.

Copyright and the CFAA are a disastrous tag team for online entrepreneurship, and the mechanism by which Google, Facebook, et al enforce their effective monopolies. The CFAA makes it illegal to get content over a network without having permission first, and copyright makes it illegal to load those pages into RAM whether you're authorized to download them or not.

Of course, when Google et al were brought to task for their ignorance of these laws, after dozens if not hundreds of small sites doing very similar things had been mercilessly crushed by the legal system, the judges magically felt that Google's use was "fair" (see Perfect 10 v. Amazon).

IANAL but people grossly underestimate the draconian reach of copyright legislation. And that's not really an accident; media outlets don't want attention on this, because they know if people realized how bad these laws are, their gravy train wouldn't last much longer.
Thinking about this some more I realized you could also encode sequence into the low order bits of the timestamp, and rereading the RFC showed it actually makes this recommendation[1]. There are 10000 100-nanosecond periods per millisecond which gives about 13 more bits. Between that and the 13-15 bits available in the clock sequence you've got 26+ bits of sequence or ~67MM values per millisecond.

Since 64 bits is overkill for milliseconds (45 bits covers the next 1000 years or so) I was thinking you could put 2 bytes of the node id in the high order bytes there (perhaps could call this the "clock id"?) and the remaining 4 bytes of the node id could go in the high order bytes of the sequence, which would still leave 32 bits for actual sequence values (but we should only use 26 or so). This means we'd get a translation roughly as follows (numbering bytes and bits from high to low significance):

Redis Version 1 UUID
Timestamp
Byte 0-1 "clock id" Bytes 4&5 of node id
Byte 2-7 millis since 1 Jan 1970 * 10000 => ~45 high order timestamp bits
Sequence
Byte 0-3 "node id" Bytes 0-3 of node id
Byte 4-7
6 bits wasted space ignored
26 bits actual sequence value
13 high order bits => clock sequence
13 low order bits => low order timestamp bits

Another implication of this scheme is that if redis has access to a clock that offers higher than millisecond resolution it could store everything more precise than millisecond into the sequence portion of the id.

On a side note it seems that the clock sequence in the UUID is intended to be reset to a random value at start up and every time a clock jump is detected rather than just incremented. Redis could do something similar by incrementing some of the 13 high-order bits of the sequence every time a clock jump is detected (and/or if the 13 low-order bits overflow)

That's true. Hospitals, doctors, vaccines, eating... none of them save lives.
That is nothing new when comparing with something like Delphi or .NET tooling.
> I think your problem is with your mentality of "my money" when it comes to you vs your children. I cannot even understand that to be honest.

Why? It's one thing when they're children, sure if I had kids I'd do everything for them (which is why I don't have them). But when they're in their 40s or 50s and still trying to mooch off me? Screw that.

Our Investment in MessageBird: A European Deep Tech Wunderkind
To put things in context, this discussion started because dvfjsdhgfv said they bought another device because of bad privacy on Android with Google. This means getting rid of Google was already a deciding factor when shopping for a device.

> the device you had plans to buy are not supported

Because of said context, one simply wouldn't have the plan to buy that device.

There's plenty of evidence that people care about skin color, irregardless of race. Are you serious?

Talking about Asians is a red herring. Asians actually suffer similarly to blacks once you look at Asians other than eastern ones (e.g. Japanese, Korean).

The idea that Asians are a model minority is simply propaganda used to victim blame Hispanics and Blacks as well as create a division between them. This also happened between low income whites and blacks. I encourage you to do some research.

TLDR: comparing Asians with blacks is literally like comparing apples with oranges.
Can you expand on this question? What do you mean?
The products offered are not simply for SMS-based authentication. That is merely one use-case out of many that you can build on a platform like MessageBird or Twilio.

It does not "supersede" Datastore or Firebase Realtime Database, neither of those products are going anywhere.

This is a totally new product that builds on what we learned from those two products, sharing some of the best features of each and bringing in some totally new things as well.

All three are (in my opinion) great choices for building a new app today so make sure you evaluate all options.

26 year old Intel employee here. Totally get where you're coming from but would like to mention that Intel is a gigantic company. I know 20+ year vets who have had 3-4 different careers here. From the comments floating around in our internal network it seems like Paul had a pretty dynamic career.

My biggest concern is folks dying soon after retirement. It's pretty scary to envision working for 40+ years and not be able to enjoy retirement.
My only recommendation would be to not skip the prototyping phase, even if it's just a pen and paper. No matter how fast you are mocking things up in html, you'll almost always going to be faster sketching it out. When I started mobile development for the first time, I jumped right into coding and I feel like I wasted a lot of time re-arranging things I could have avoided if I just took the time to sketch it out.
Linking me to a google search isn't informative.

First off an increase in the labor pool inherently depresses wages only if demand remains the same which would only be true if the new members of the labor pool didn't you know buy things. This fallacy is so common its called the single lump of labor fallacy. It may be true that they increase the pool of low wage workers and displace people that are only marginally worth employing but I digress.

You yourself admit that long term effects of immigration are positive just that it takes a while. This is a failure of analysis. Its a failure to consider the whole system in motion instead of at a single point in time.

By your own argument we are constantly both paying the dues to integrate new citizens and reaping the benefits of past waves of immigration. It seems at best short sighted to stop paying current dues and thereby forfeit future benefits.

When you suggest you consider the people that are negatively effected by immigration let us be clear. Minimum wage doesn't let you depress wages beyond a clear line so what we are actually arguing for is to forgo future leaders, future doctors, future engineers so that fewer McDonalds workers will be unemployed new instead of in 5 to 10 years when machines replace them.
I would imagine this is best used for the "store a ton of events with some capped maximum size" Kafka use case (ie - realtime analytics, IoT data, etc). I just can't imagine using Redis as your source of truth for an event sourced system, especially without the partitioning and log compacting features that Kafka has. Still this seems like a pretty amazing feature to have in Redis, can't wait to start playing with it.
The tobacco industry has completely failed to improve safety, because [long historical discussion elided]. There are lots of dubious additives in cigarettes that might enhance the flavor somewhat, but don't seem worth the health risks. I worry that the e-cig industry will go the same way, if we take the view "there's something inherently unsafe about it, so users forfeit all their rights to safety".

The motorcycle industry bifurcated, with one segment trying to maximize safety while still being fun, and the other focused on looking bad-ass with little regard for stability. That's a possible outcome for e-cigs, with some medical-grade and some vape-nation-grade.

Because private keys are a far greater tool of proving identity than a SSN, I would argue one should have much greater culpability in an "unauthorized" action.

SSNs are lost for good on breaches of companies' infrastructures, but nothing should be lost in a Pub/Priv key scheme. What we'll need is a good key revocation process. So when my identity is compromised (say, malware on a device) then I can be me again.

Ask HN: Which laptop for development?
Moved across the country for a startup and had to put my desktop in the office (the only machine I own) since they don't give you a computer. I feel like I'm missing out since the other devs take their shiny MacBook pros and sit around a table and work (and chat) while I'm tucked away in an obscure corner. Also, driving to the office everytime time something breaks on a holiday could be a major inconvenience. Still gonna keep my desktop in the office so looking for a cheap laptop. I work on python Django so as long as it can run PyCharm and slack and a few chrome tabs, I should be fine (no need to run VMs or anything fancy). I live in India so my options are somewhat limited since many models are either unavailable or simply more expensive than in the US. These are the models I narrowed down on to:

1. Refurbished Lenovo T420. 2nd gen i5, 16 gigs of RAM. Really cheap for 250$. Just concerned since the cpu is old

2. [A cheap 6th gen core i3 laptop](https://www.amazon.in/dp/B074DYBT2K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_W290zbRF005PZ). Brand new. 450$. At least the battery would last a couple of hours and since it's new it might not break down for another 2 years.

3. A MacBook air. 1000USD. Pretty expensive for me. But willing to Shell out the money if it is absolutely worth it. Concerned about learning the weird shortcuts (and force forgetting them when working on my desktop). It's 'nix but it's really not Linux. I've heard that getting some libraries to work on Mac is a pain - if at all possible. Still worth it? Battery life would be liberating but not sure if it is relevant for me

Thanks in advance.

PS: My desktop has an SSD so I am planning to take it out and put it on the laptop I end up buying.
Not for me. Where are you located at?
