I took the liberty of comparing the benchmarks online for the i5-8400 vs the Ryzen 5-1600: https://goo.gl/R4AQZe

For single-threaded performance, the i5 wins (no-brainer due to the higher turbo clock), but for multi-threaded performance, the ryzen is still a winner, for less money.

Power consumption _is_ higher for the Ryzen though. I'm thinking that the Ryzen is still the best bet for now as far as bang for your buck, considering it has hyperthreading AND can be overclocked, and the i5 does not.

Not sure if the i5 can be overclocked. If not, then the Ryzen will probably beat the i5 in single-threaded performance as well if you OC it.
Indeed it is. Sadly!
On the other hand, there's no real point in supporting Windows 7 now. It's only two years away from EOL.
Ordinarily, federal appellate courts (like the Ninth Circuit here) decide cases using randomly assigned panels of three judges. A decision of a panel is binding precedent on future cases in the same circuit (both as to future panel cases and all trial court cases). Within a certain time after issuance of a panel decision, the parties can seek rehearing—either by the same panel, or an “en banc” court of all the judges in the circuit.[1]

Petitions for rehearing are not granted routinely, but reasonably frequently. Probably better odds than seeking Supreme Court review if you’ve got a case where there is no circuit split (disagreement among different courts of appeals). The judges in the court all receive the rehearing petition, and they can vote to rehear the case. If a majority think the case is important and the panel got it wrong, they’ll grant rehearing, in which case the case will be argued again in front of the whole court.

One important thing is that a panel can rehear it’s own decision, but can not overturn the ruling of a previous panel in another case. An en banc court can overrule any of the court’s prior precedents.

[1] Except the ninth circuit, which is so big and geographically dispersed an en banc Court is something less than the whole court.
how to solve prisons in America: go full Liberal.

states want private prisons. prisons should be to rehabilitate. so pay the prison business only if it delivers. i.e. pay private prisons on a rehabilitation rate instead of simply the number of inmates.

it's not like you're expected to pay for damaged goods in a regular business transaction, so simply stop doing so with private prisons.

Isn't the point of an internship to continue your formation ? How comes companies making the same tests as for recruiting for real jobs ?

"Hi, we are not going to pay you, or not very much, but please be at the same level as senior that are already working for us"

I had interns back in the day I had an office (and not working from home) and I always made them work on basic tasks under my supervision. Once I had one woman who was very good, and she worked on a website that ended in production, but most of the time the purpose was to work on internal projects that can be used even if not perfectly polished. You know, stuff you always say you're going to do some day, but you don't.

The advantages were on both sides. They learned real life cases, under my supervision, and I had the tools I didn't.

They managed to integrate it into paid products like SQL Server and then also sell their own machine learning server as well.

I don’t feel it’s a success. I feel they make money off the backs of people who wrote it to be free. I guess it still is “free” but... proprietary add ons to free software is still a digital handcuff.
How about leaving it open, (auto) locking the screen every time you leave the pc? It should be as safe, if you trust the screen locker.
Pretty cool, but in practice Steemit's content is pretty mediocre. There are some high quality articles, but the front page is largely clickbait and articles talking about how successful Steemit is. I tried to write some programming articles (one of which got a lot of traction, actually) but I just got bored of doing that after a little while of getting barely any views. I think Steemit has potential if people begin to use it like Medium, but a lot of people are there as basically a business, running their personal BuzzFeed.

Took a look at the "trending" articles on this network. Most of them are about cryptocurrencies, followed by phishing-scam warnings, and finally a smattering of other content. This seems like a network built around the hype of cryptocurrencies that is hyping itself into value.

I'm experiencing a lot of anxiety lately that I'm missing the cryptocurrency boat, but at the same time the more I research the possibilities I'm finding far less opportunity to invest and much more opportunity to get taken.
PoW ?
Yes at least some of the people. Their instructions for getting a new SQL 2017 Docker image (somewhere not sure if it was the official documentation or Microsoft hosted blogs that should know better) included apt get update on the Linux container after download.

I was bit surprised so much is out of date for the official container.

But I mean... I’m new to docker and this was my first introduction... but I’m pretty sure from what I’ve read that it’s a huge no no.
This is the case with all of the browsers on iOS since Apple doesn't allow other rendering engines in the app store.

This is an argument against non-removable batteries more than against wireless headphones in general. There's no reason headphones can't have both onboard charging and removable batteries in standardized sizes. It's fairly common in higher-end flashlights, for example.
I don't know them, but in a Web search for dual cpu workstations, I came across Velocity micro:

ECC has no where near 30% performance overhead.

In terms of speed it's ~2–3 percent slower worst case, and memory is only one component of overall performance lowering the impact further.

More importantly, bit errors are not evenly distributed with some users seeing vastly more errors.
My design would be a ZeroMQ message bus between the database server and the application server. Social Security numbers shouldn't need to be displayed to the user (as they should already know it) thus all the message bus should be carrying is "it matches" or "it doesn't match" in regards to them.

Whoa! Code golf. Here is the most compact I could make it in racket in about 3 minutes:

(define (erathostenes n)

(for/list ([i (in-range i n)] #:when (vector-ref vec i))
(for ([j (in-range (* i i) n i)])
(vector-set! vec j #f))
i)))

It could probably be squeezed into a oneliner in python :)
Firefox ESR still supports WinXP, and it will be supported until the end of 52ESR which I think is in March.

True. There's a massive shortage of interesting content on Steemit in my opinion. I wish there were some way to convince people on HN to start blogging on Steemit because as a blogging platform it has a lot of potential (plus there's some money in it... I made ~$50 on my first article if I recall correctly).
Edge is a good browser, people seem to default to criticizing it because of its infamous predecessor. We should root for Edge, it is in the open Web best interest to have several browsers sharing the market.

This is nice and all, but isn't practical for anybody on linux (Paperbak used to be windows only, and the linux version you can find is very subpar).

I have found that splitting the key in 256 bytes chunks, then QrCoding them is sufficient for my usage:

I use quite a lot of Perl and Oracle for ETL. The database drivers have been pretty solid, and the easy of regex in the language really helps.
> The reason for this is that the more you earn, the less you spend as a proportion of your income. Billionaires spend almost nothing compared to either their income or their wealth. The poorest in society spend everything, because some things are essential.

That's only true when you crib the definition of spending to mean only personal consumption.

Donald Trump owns Trump Tower. It generates rental income. He is obviously not spending all of it on hamburgers and hair products for his own personal self.

But it still gets spent, just not on himself. He doesn't put the cash in a mattress, he uses it to go out and build another tower somewhere. For that he has to buy steel and concrete and elevators and HVAC systems, which are all taxed in the usual way. Essentially all of the "unspent" income is spent doing things like this, because it's more profitable than holding cash that generates no returns.

Most of the time there will be a corporation in the middle. Trump doesn't buy concrete, he buys shares in a newly formed corporation which uses the money to buy concrete. But that doesn't change the fact that the money is used to buy concrete and concrete is subject to VAT.
“Prisoners of War”; in Aztec cryptocurrency mining, blocks are allocated based on captives taken in ritual combat, who are then sacrificed to prevent double counting.

Don't know how you feel about ad blockers, but I installed an off-market app called BlockThis (Google it) to get rid of ads on my browser, and it had the added benefit of disabling ads within apps. Many Android apps are very obstructive with their ads (not androids fault) so now I just always have BlockThis enabled.
ECC is often used without being advertised. For example, hard drives aren't advertised as using these kinds of codes, yet all of them do. Similarly, switches will often use ECC memory without making it an explicit point in the advertising. Industrial computers tend to have ECC, yet you will have to look closely at the data sheet to see this. And of course all internal busses and caches in pretty much any desktop/server/workstation CPU use error correction/detection.

The moral of this story is that ECC is only ever advertised explicitly, when it is special to have, i.e. because there are segments in the market where it is not used.

(A somewhat curious case are small microcontrollers. Often these control relatively important aspects of machinery, for example, drives [say a bit-flip in the drive controller turns STOP into RUN, which can get rather ugly on e.g. a lathe]; these usually don't have ECC. However, they are manufactured in very coarse processes and generally don't use DRAM.)
It still has it, although is not as easy to access as in Chrome.

Yes, specially because it makes better use of my GPU.

IIRC one could use Google Now with voice recordings off and the extra-spying setting of "web and app activity" off (though web and app activity had to be on for many features). All this must now be on for the assistant, as you say.

I did try out Google Now for a time due to having an Android Wear watch and found that as time went on more functionality required the turning on of these settings. One particular oddity for a time was that "OK Google, Navigate Home" would produce only a complaint about web and app activity being off, but "OK Google, navigate to $HOME_STREET, $HOME_TOWN" was fine.

I've abandoned Android Wear because of this.
That isn't quite true.

Then 4, then 5, then 6 ... in other words he's not doing the test that something is prime, and crossing out the multiples of composites as well.

There are other problems as well, he adds one each time to p[j], but tests to see if it's ==1, so that won't work.

So while the output might be right (but it isn't), it's certainly not the actual Sieve of Eratosthenes for any one of several reasons.

My impression is that a lot of this ownership has to do with persuading someone to become emotionally dependent on their situation. Thus a potential antidote is to maintain a sense of detachment, and to be financially rational.

I have done plenty of regex parsing of xml with Perl. It has been very useful. Over time I have also used things like the index function to eck out some additional performance.

Recently I replaced this with a xml tokenizer I wrote in Go that can deal with invalid or corrupt xml. On top of this I have used a state machine to make it possible to handle different situations.

The best way to store data longterm on hardware is a QR code on a metal punch card, with holes for the black parts.

Side question about LWN, which maybe someone would have some opinion on.

I don't read a lot of LWN, but I LOVE the work they're doing. I maybe read an article a month, maybe even less, but I think that their model is great and appreciate their work. I used to subscribe at the regular rate, but never read LWN much and let it lapse when it was up for renewal and my history showed that I hadn't visited in 3+ months.

Would it be frowned upon to buy the starving hacker subscription, even if I am probably not a starving hacker, given that I rarely read it and just want to support them? $42/year just seems easier to stomach for something I know I'll never use, than $84. First world problem, I know, but curious what others think.

That's fair - although I was mainly referring to the era of arcade games referred to in the original blog post, and not to console speedruns and so forth that came later and cater more towards the 'perfect run' style of play. In the late 1970s/early 1980s there really weren't a lot of games that have 'perfect' runs. You simply can play the majority of them forever once you learn to play well enough since they repeat the same levels over and over. There are some exceptions like Donkey Kong and Pac-man that have killscreens, sure, but personally I don't find that 'beating the system' to play the same levels over and over to be very enjoyable. Since I'm not spending my allowance on the game, I want the game itself to be interesting rather than just long.

I do enjoy some games of this type like Robotron that have enough variation in the random patterns of the enemies to still feel fresh. I also love games like Pole Position or Outrun that have well-defined endings and force you to play 'perfectly' like you describe. However most games of this earlier time period are unfortunately just not designed that way.
