ping is sadly not a great test program. You should do a TCP_RR run with netperf instead. For best results, try one of our newer regions/zones (with newer fabric and NICs) like us-east4-b or europe-west2-c. An n1-std-1 is also a single hyperthread, so you may want a larger instance as well.

I'm not sure if I like the idea of this adaptation and I'm wonder if Amazon will give this a big enough budget to make an epic like GoT.

If anything, I'd love to see The Silmarillion turned into a series. I think it lends itself better to bursts of short epic episodes and the stories are largely untold outside of the book.
>Disney CEO Bob Iger is said to have ordered the retaliatory measure against the LA Times, and is also thought to be considering a 2020 presidential bid, which augurs poorly for his approach to the free press.

Wow, I hadn't heard this was a possibility until now. I sure am looking forward to seeing which of the many {m/b}illionaires ends up winning the presidency in 2020! How about we just cut out the middlemen and make it a big national bidding war. Most money offered gets to be president.
At 100% zoom yes. I should be able to take a ruler to my drawing and verify that it is exactly one physical inch. (to the limits of the display). This implies the projector somehow has feedback to the computer some sort of scale factor depending on how large the screen is. When I'm doing CAD, or paper layout this is very important.

Note that an inch (or more likely cm) is rarely what I want. Most of my use case is text where physical measurements are not important. When I'm writing code I want text to scale to be readable. This means web browsers and many other editors should not have any concept of points/inches/cm.

Those are about being able to walk without moving. Yes, the shoes will be able to move you around but that's for centering the user back in the middle of the VR play area.

Outdoor / locomotion use is phase 3 which is "dream phase" and likely will never happen.

Anyway, this is a moot point since this crowdfunding is for prototype v.7 and not even for a product.

I have a Kotlin microframework that never made it past hobby-level stability[1].

One thing I found out is that you really have to write a library in Java if you want it to be used in both Java and Kotlin. Java -> Kotlin is effectively one-way interop.

I also found async programming to be really hard in Java which is why I wrapped Jetty. Meanwhile async APIs like Netty and Undertow were completely exotic to me.

For example, I couldn't figure out how to go from `Request -> Response` to `Request -> Promise<Response>` by wrapping Netty.

One thing I did find out was that Kotlin is probably my favorite language. Very similar to Swift, though I wish you could re-open 3rd party classes to make them conform to additional interfaces which you can do with Swift protocols.

I also never figured out how to hot reload code without restarting the server. Even JRebel didn't work for me. Looking at Jetbrains' own framework, their code that implements reloading is pretty intimidating[2].

OP is also the author of https://github.com/tipsy/j2html which I've been using in my own small servers. I couldn't figure out a better way to get typesafe html templating in the ecosystem.

I do a hit and run on a driverless car, assume its on its way to pickup a passenger, so no humans involved.

I hack a driverless car, again with no passengers, and make it do my bidding (hit that other [thing])

I follow driverless car back to its charging base and slash its tires?

I rearend a driverless car then leave the scene? (same as option 1 I guess - but could be applied differently)

A driverless car gets into its first fatal accident of a passenger, will that lawsuit result in the shutdown of the company? Who specifically will be held to account? Will the developer of the software? Will the engineer who didnt provide sufficient sensors? What if the driverless car looses traction due to black ice, and that results in the death of the passenger or another driver?

Im ubering from place A to place B and my phone dies early in the trip and the uber ride cant bill me?

Arizona's government has deliberately taken a very pro-autonomous vehicles approach.

> but ignored it in their zeal to imitate Windows.

You are letting your zeal affect your judgement.

Of course the free desktops did explore the resolution issue. They came to similar result that the proprietary counterparts did, namely that:

1) hardware lies about it capabilities. There are entire product lines that use the same EDIDs. For manufacturers, that it simpler to just copy an existing ROM for a new product, that to bother with customizing. Customers do not care anyway.

2) hardware may have no knowledge at all, what the pixel density is. How do you imagine, that a projector measures and reports it's density? In the case of a projector, it might even change mid-flight, with the intent to change the entire size of the picture, not it's sharpness.

3) meanwhile, there were practical concerns with software. What kind of bitmap assets are you going to recommend to developers to prepare? They won't ship for the entire continuum of densities. That's why Apple approach was practical - just ship two or three.

I think companies need to fail every once in a while, to teach them humility. Companies that are too big to fail learn only pride and arrogance.

I do agree that the tax code should be simplified, I would advocate for a flat tax with a high personal deduction and few other deductions. The voters seem to disagree with me and prefer the complicated system currently in place.

It would seem to me that with compulsory education everyone was afforded an opportunity to learn to read and write, if they choose ignorance I would not say it's an unfair burden. I managed to learn to read and write before my compulsory education began. Using this rare and mysterious ability I incurred about a dollar fifty in late fees at the library and became very well educated. I do find most people to be quite ignorant, but I must respect their choice to remain ignorant while surrounded by knowledge.

It's certainly an unfair burden if they were never afforded an opportunity to learn, however, in the United States I think you'd have to agree that if you don't know how to read and write it's a matter of personal choice rather than lack of opportunity.

I don't personally know the tax code as well as I'd like as it's not my area of expertise but I do consult with those much more well versed in it.
> I can still install Excel 97 if I want to

That's the survivor bias. There's plenty of things that you can no longer install and the things you can still install, it's mostly because there's someone that maintains their API and whatnot (thus, the company hasn't gone out of business or haven't decided not to maintains it). Look at games, GOG has an R&D department to make sure you can run the games on their platform.

I'm pretty sure there's a ton of people here that can talk about some old computer or VM that they have to keep up because of old legacy stuff.

> I mean, there is perceptible lag in character entry that never used to happen. Sure, my computer used to freeze inexplicably, but Atom crashes often enough that I don't consider that a win, and text has a noticeable delay before it appears on the screen when using Atom. Text entry is something I can implement flawlessly on a microcontroller and the majority of applications I use on a daily basis get it wrong.

Who forced you to use Atom? That's your decision to use something still heavily in development using some new technologies (not meant to be faster or more stable, just easier to develop into). It's like buying a bicycle and complaining it doesn't go as fast as the car you had before.
I think so in practice, but you could also use brk and sbrk.

Debugger can trap calls into that and return whatever it wants, also this API only returns true for user-mode debuggers.

Point of most anti-debugging measures is to detect debuggers that are actively trying to hide their presence.
> how is this even taken seriously, given the Peter Jackson movies pretty much did justice to the books? (I'm assuming they did from the fan following. I never read the books)

I love the books, but even I will admit they're are fairly dry with large, long-winded descriptions. Peter Jackson did a brilliant job with the movies, and I'm really not sure what could be done better or even differently (outside of a fan-fiction TV series).
Let's just start selling the role outright. It would be more efficient, most likely lead to the same result, and avoiding the grating, bullshit horserace coverage for a year would make everyone's live better.
Please convince Nvidia of that. Their closed source drivers are a major hindrance in the Linux community. They keep them closed because they feel the driver source would reveal additional details about their hardware, giving up some of their advantage over competitors.
I started putting my keyboard [1] in my lap about four years ago after ACL surgery...no quadricep function and keeping the knee elevated made sitting conventionally at a desk impractical. Wow, less hand and wrist pain.

Since, I have gone to laptops. When I work, they sit [2] in my lap. Touchpad and Trackpoint mean no reaching for a mouse and no mouse hand pain. Something that I have experienced off and on since my first mouse in 1989.

I've never bothered getting diagnosed with RSI. When I have pain, I look for the ergonomic cause. My wrist pains have almost always been from wresting my forearm on an abrupt edge of a desk/keyboard/laptop. The first time I focused on ergonomics was around 2003. I bought a plastic topped folding table with a large radius corner to replace my desk. Worked like a charm. In environments I did not control, I have used a towel to dampen sharp edges. When I occasionally have aches theses days, I do the palm up, fingers pulled down stretch that can be found on the internet for carpel tunnel. As I get older, I appreciate stretching more in general.

Anyway, my big advice is that working hard often produces some level of pain. Don't necessarily ignore it, but don't immediately pathologize it either. Look at ergonomic factors in the environment first...the ergonomics of traditional computer use tend to be very poor...but they are slowly improving...except keyboards.

Good luck.

Scala is pretty well-paying, as far as I can tell. And frankly you don't have to be a JS expert to call yourself a full-stack developer; you just have to be conversant. In my experience, anyway. And from what I've seen front-end is the least well-paying specialty.
I've had a used Matrix for close to 5 years, probably similar costs. However, I live in Michigan, so annual cost of insurance alone is close to $2500. But you and I are abnormal examples, and should not be used to draw conclusions.

But I think we need to draw a distinction between legislation legislation intended to effect a result against the poor, or motivated by that ideology, and ordinary cause-and-effect which has consequences that disproportionately harm the poor.

If a safer, cheaper alternative to cars becomes available, legacy cars will eventually be forced off the road. It's easy to envision gas stations becoming few and far between, parts becoming less available, auto mechanic shops becoming less profitable. Owning a legacy car will become as difficult as owning a horse is today.

Your ability to drive is predicated on an enormous, organically and accidentally developed economic system comprising an automobile industry and culture that, for example, required someone else to buy that Camry and pay for its development and engineering and quality construction at a high list price, then sell it to you as a used vehicle after steep depreciation.

That accident of history that lets you own a car for $2500 a year will not stay the same forever, the industry will continue to change as technology and culture move on. And no amount of politics will protect it when economics are slanted hard against it.

What is forever? Surely there must be some limit to life, whether that be the sun exploding or the eventual heat death of the universe. Almost every species on Earth has gone extinct, and almost every great civilization has faded. Every solar system is doomed to collapse eventually. Why should humans be able to defy nature when there is so much evidence that death is inevitable? What if we start living 10000 years instead of 100. Is that what he means by forever? Will we think that's enough years? Is a planet full of 10000-year-old people even something that would be desirable?

Permanently frozen? What does that mean? It's as good as gone?
Well, if you can't robo-ban then that's kind of the problem. As you say, identifying likely bad accounts isn't a problem, and they definitely can do that. But what do you do next?

Let's suppose that you identify just (on FB scale) 10 million likely fake accounts. There are only three options - apply further scrutiny, which would take hundreds of workers and cost lots of money, which isn't worth the (minimal) benefit to FB; robo-ban them which inevitably means false positives and would mean lots and lots of people contesting the ban, and real bot accounts are just as likely to contest than normal users, costing time in manual review; or do nothing unless the account is reported for something horrible, which seems to be the only cost-effective option.

I believe 95% of the reason is $$$$. The reason there's so many sequels and superhero movies in Hollywood these days is that the risk factor of a flop goes down.

I suppose this is still risky if they mess it up big time, but they've already got a built in audience of tens (hundreds?) of millions. The story has been proven (obviously), so if they do it in a slightly different way while adhering to the books perhaps it's a slam dunk, according to their research.
IMHO, but as a (rather) sports-loving geek, I think a lot of it is the fact that the aspects of sports that (stereotypically) won't interest geeks get emphasized a lot in news/media/sports coverage - a lot of the coverage focuses on the in-the-moment athletic achievements of players, whereas there is a lot of strategy below the surface. It's actually totally reasonable, then, to basically look at every sport as a real time strategy game. Some sports are really good at this (IMHO, this is why I like soccer more than many Americans), but even the NFL can enjoyably watched through this lens if you'd really like to view it that way.

The problem is that this type of thing isn't often really covered in sports broadcasts, which makes it hard for a viewer to connect with.
