I read it more as Google's blind faith in algorithms finally being loudly and publicly discredited. Baked deeply into Google's corporate DNA is the unquestioned assumption that all you have to do to solve a problem -- any problem -- is throw clever algorithms and compute power at it. Which I suppose might still turn out to be true, but Google has picked off all the low-hanging fruit and is now hitting problems that seem to be well beyond their capabilities to solve algorithmically. But since the whole company is built on the assumption that this would never happen, the are incapable of confronting and dealing with it.

I think the truly toxic thing is people not spending money in their communities. One of the things I pick up from anti-gentrification stories is that when new people move in, the existing shops lose customers. No-one goes to the corner store, they get food via an app or wait for a Whole Foods to open.

The (completely unintended) effect of this is that the existing community gets poorer, not richer, when rich people move in.
Some servers in GRA still appear to work if that's of any help. All data centres offline at once sounds more like an attack than a power failure in one location. According to them, there was a power failure in SBG but I don't see how that should affect routing in data centres several hundred miles away.

Reminds me of one of Microsoft's original dynamic HTML demos: It had two buttons, one labeled "Our Web Site", the other labeled "Our Competitor's Web Site".

When you moved the cursor into the "Our Competitor's Web Site" button, it would quickly slide out from under your cursor so you couldn't press it!

Then when you stopped moving the cursor around, the "Our Web Site" button would sneakily slide in right underneath your cursor.

Just playing devils advocate, but another scenario might be if one side of a warring species annihilates the other, and then takes off into space. What if the Nazis won WW2, and started a space program in the 60s? There could be an alien equivalent of the Third Reich out there colonizing worlds.
My main concern with GraphQL is access control. What happens if the user doesn't have access to part of the requested data (a subtree)... Will the GraphQL engine return an incomplete result, an inline error or will the whole query fail? What if you only want to allow showing specific fields of a resource; for example when a user requests for another user's account details, we need a way to block them from getting certain fields like passwords or keys that might be attached to the account.

How does this access control play with cache? What happens when the access control rules change?

A while ago, I wrote a real-time REST-based plugin which solves all the problems and I use it in production, it's much simpler than GraphQL. See https://github.com/SocketCluster/sc-sample-inventory

I'm surprised that more libraries aren't following the REST-based model.
> The child had a father when she needed him most. It might have been a brief period, and she might know the truth now, but she had a meaningful experience at that time.

I find it hard to dismiss the concept completely. There are times when help is needed and perhaps sometimes this deception is better than having no help at all. I feel conflicted.
This is a bit outdated http://richg42.blogspot.de/2014/05/the-truth-on-opengl-drive... overview of driver status by a game developer, vendor A is NVIDIA and as the article points out they are the only one with a performant relatively bug free implementation. Also notice how he mocks Intel for having two driver teams: That Linux expects to get special treatment by integrating the driver into their Graphics abstractions leads demonstrably to worse performance and less features than if you bypass all those abstractions and use essentially the same driver for all kernels.

1) is not true, in the current generation FP16 is not artificially disabled on consumer GPUs but rather does not exists.
And it’s not just consumer GPUs out of 4 Pascal Tesla’s only 1 has support for FP16 and FP64 the GP100 based P100.

The GP102 and 104 Cards which include the consumer cards and Tesla’s like the P4 and P40 are inference focused and support Int 16 and Int 8 dot products while the first generation Pascal GP100 doesn’t.

If anyone artificially locked down FP16 support it’s AMD as consumer VEGA doesn’t support it for compute.

2) NVIDIA already has a competing solution, Pascal has had unified memory support form day one, 49 bit address space, AST and paging they already partner with SSD makers to have an addon card which is mapped to VRAM.

I'm at the same spot myself, trying to learn Go by building a simple web app. Your article was a refreshing read to me.

One extra thing that is the major motivation for me to go to Go is the ability to deploy as a single God damn binary and not deal with dependancies and pip. pip and counting on OS repositories may be the right thing to do, but it is just too cumbersome. I have an air gapped setup at work, and there is no easy way for me to deploy Python applications - because all projects just say pip instal this and pip install that. It would make my life so much easier building something on my laptop, scp the binary to servers and expect them to "just work".
I notice the X-Y mode on my rigol DSO is crap compared to an analogue scope. No hope of ever running it on that.
It was never illegal, just not recommended (as printed on the SSN card).

> This means the frequencies emitted are very high (5 samples per period is 19.2 kHz)
> and it seems the audio output is being low pass filtered resulting in silly wobbly lines.

Sound Card output is low pass filtered. With a 22KHz cutoff filter frequency, a digital square wave at 22KHz would optimally render as sine of the same period, because that's the base frequency. Resonant frequencies are filtered because they are not audible. That's the principle of digital-analog conversion obeying the sampling theorem.
> SSN are NOT an identity mechanism

They are an identification mechanism, what they are not is an authentication mechanism.

They are similar to IBAN in that way, they're suitable to e.g. give you money, they're not suitable to take money out.

I am not dismissing the entire concept, but there is a difference between it being a shared delusion between willing participants and a deception. This service seems like it is primarily used to deceive others, and there are situations where that could be more appropriate like getting a kid into a private school. Most of the examples in that article are immoral uses of the service though.
This is just so sad.

It costs less to prescribe drugs than to diagnose and treat underlying problems. So the American profit-driven medical system relies heavily on drugs, especially for poorer patients. And drug companies love addictive drugs. So we get lots of opiate-addicted patients.

And then there's the "drugs are evil" mindset, which justifies criminalization. Even preventing pain is too much like having fun. So it's better for addicts to OD than get safe drugs. Because they deserve it, or whatever. They should just suck it up, walk it off, ...

So it goes.

Americans are direct only about a certain set of things.

My Thai friends are much more direct discussing appearance, for instance. As an American, that was actually quite a shock visiting Thailand -- but you get used to it and adjust, and now it feels weird that there is this taboo in the US.

Americans are more open and direct than Japan, but I don't know that I'd say they're particularly open and direct -- about the only thing I'd say Americans are uniquely is boisterous. But that's probably still only among the developed world.
UPDATE: not all datacenters are down, it seems like that in europe because ovh routing hasn't been updated so from our point of view everythign is down but really it is not :)
This interview makes me wonder where we are heading as the human race. The Japanese society, so certainly very different in some aspects, does strike me as a glimpse into the future of western society. Technology has a much bigger impact on the daily life there and I believe that this is one of the main reasons, why (face-to-face) social interactions are becoming more infrequent. What struck me the most from the article was the impression that the customers of this service seem to feel especially lonely - or even more worrysome - that some of them view social interactions as hasselsome and being work. If that is the way humans as a whole start thinking than we will have a lot of problems in our future.

True story coming up.

I had an acquaintance go through a rough patch. She lost everything, and was basically homeless. She had two dogs--Ryder, and Cloe. She also had two African Grey parrots. The parrots knew the dogs since they were puppies.

A breeder took care of her two parrots for 2.5 year--when she told him she was indigent.

She got into section 8 housing, and had me go get her parrots. She was couch surfing for two, and a half years.

I wheeled the cage into her apartment, and put the birds in the corner.

One of her dogs walked up to the cage, and one of the parrots said, "Hello Ryder". The bird rembered the dogs, and their names. 2.5 years later.

The bird knew the different names of the dogs. I couldn't rember their names.

(A horrid neighbor turned her into section eight authorities for having dogs over 30 pounds. The dogs ended up being put down. I will never forget the bitch that couldn't just let an infraction slide. Sorry--telling this story brought up some bad memories. There are some terrible people in this world.)
This is one of those cases where you have to be careful. Yes maybe putting huge fees on them gives them the 'incentives', but the market doesn't do what you expect most of the time.

Put big fees on their failure, and they might just find more ways to deflect the blame.

Corporations need to have strict liability. And in the meantimes, take away strict liability from actual humans, given that it's incredibly unethical to hold someone responsible for something they had no intent to do.
>"Normally in animals, behavior is controlled by the brain sending signals to the muscles, but our results suggest that the parasite is controlling host behavior peripherally," Hughes said. "Almost like a puppeteer pulls the strings to make a marionette move, the fungus controls the ant's muscles to manipulate the host's legs and mandibles."

Probably the most "And I Must Scream" moment in mother nature. Imagine a human gets infected by a parasite that controls their body but leaves their brain intact to observe what their body is doing (and probably drugged to hell as the article implies).

Building a PWA Part 4: What we learned and the future of PWA
Capitalism requires the illusion of social mobility and equality but it is inherently wealth favoring, hence the name, a perfect system for the feudals to advocate as it maintained their power and influence via accumulated wealth.

The modus operandi is to highlight a few successes to create an illusion while millions fail or fall by the wayside. Those who succeed are too invested in the system and celebrating themselves and become perfect advertisements for the illusion. Immigrants who are desperate with nothing to lose and a few who grow essentially via a long struggle and trade are old favorites.

But let's look at software. The average company could take a minimum of 2-5 years, just building the product or service could take a year or more at the minimum. Outreach, marketing and trying to build a user base and customers is going to take significantly longer. And you need some luck. Thinking of revenue is premature. Either you need ample savings to sustain for this kind of period without any certain outcomes or a secure family background.

The stress without a secure family background is going to be overwhelming, you need to be fit and healthy to put in long hours without interruption for sustained periods without any family or health issues. Any single incident here can completely derail you. Your life is going to be at a complete standstill while you make this attempt.

Your immediate family and relationships are going to take a huge toll as you struggle single mindedly to build something from scratch, relationships are going to be under intense strain. If you have kids you should ask yourself whether you can even afford to take this kind of risk and devote years to something with completely uncertain outcomes. If you don't you certainly can't afford them now or the next 5 years. A significant chunk of your life is at stake.

That's why the only realistic way is to have a rich background or have a VC. And you need a pretty decent education, experience and profile to begin with ie some level of privilege to interest a VC. So mobility and entrepreneurship is not as clear cut as it looks.

I created my boilerplate app by customizing other boilerplate.
There’s one thing you cannot do with manual layout, and that is composability. If you write a custom container, but want the contents of the container to provide sizing information upwards, you can do that pretty easily with AutoLayout. Constraints propagate information automatically in both directions. You can simulate something similar with sizeToFit/sizeThatFits, but you’ll find out pretty soon that your components are not as generic as you thought they were. E.g. how to trigger a grandparent relayout from a deeply nested child view, when it no longer fits its current size? Autolayout does that automatically.
We let our GraphQL server accept a JWT authorization header, which is then propagated to all service calls it does. When the user doesn't have permission to some (sub)resources being requested, the GraphQL server doesn't see it either.
