It's funny to think of a grown man on a little toy jeep/horse all dressed up for war and taking seriously his trip to the front line and into the battlefield. That's the "funny" part of the joke. And it's not weird funny, it's just normal funny.

The deeper point being made isn't possible to ascertain from just this snippet; you'd have to put the joke back into its context and find the larger point being made in the text around the joke. (edit: but, see racer-v's explanation)

We did use cobra in fleet, and worked hard not to use globals https://github.com/kolide/fleet/blob/f909f4808b17ffd5616c6c8...

It's doable, but it was hard and while cobra is a nice library, it's probably overkill unless you're a project like kubernetes.

Most projects in Go are very small in terms of configuration surface, and something like https://github.com/kolide/launcher/blob/9dcf149957b9e9757a24... is much cleaner IMO.
I grew up in the Midwest in a suburb of a small city. Looking at census data, it was 95%+ white while I was growing up. The most common profession for the minorities' parents I went to school with seemed to be...physician (mostly Indian, Middle Eastern, Asian).

Minorities were not really looked down on where I grew up, though there was certainly racism around. There were just not many minorities to be racist towards! If you go into the "big" cities in the Midwest it's a different story (I've heard all sorts of racist anecdotes from friends in Chicago and Indianapolis), but out where I grew up it didn't seem to be a thing.

Personally, my parents were much more judgmental of non-Christians (Judaism, Hindu, Islam). Dating people of other skin colors was a non-issue, but when my brother brought home a nice, white Jewish girl my father certainly wasn't pleased.

I guess it's a good thing I didn't do the project I was thinking about. I observed the fact that SQL Server had no management tool that was cross-platform, and thought perhaps I would build such a thing. Nice work Microsoft!

On a side-note, I'd love to see an even more minimalist stripped-down, read-mostly query/tabular result only (with pivot tables) tool, which had some local columnar storage caching/query engine, and simple import/export to common file formats as well. A simple "SQL notebook" that was cross platform, if you will, but worked more like a traditional query tool. And not embedded in MS Excel, like PowerQuery or PowerPivot (although it's powerful!).

Something lighter weight than BI tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, etc., definitely lighter weight than tools such as SSMS, DBeaver, SQuirrel, etc. - not for administrative use. I've seen a few applications that are coming close listed on HN lately, but would be nice to have something as pretty as this and which is open source.

Perhaps a fork with the admin features stripped out, some additional plumbing added, and read-only connections, I'm not sure.

Will have to think about it. Main use case is data scientists / data analysts / SQL power users.
If anybody's curious about the math, it's pretty simple.

Assume p is the probability of flipping heads. Then, pp is the probability of flipping 2 heads, (1-p)(1-p) is the probability of flipping 2 tails, (1-p)p is the probability of flipping tails then heads, and p(1-p) is the probability of flipping heads then tails.

So, basically p^2 + (1-p)^2 + p(1-p) + (1-p)p = 1.

Then, we ignore the first 2 terms (since that's when the results match and we start over), and we're only left with the p(1-p) case and the (1-p)p case. These are equally likely, and the first coin is heads in the first case and tails in the second.

The link you sent doesn't say that they lend out more than they have in deposits (it says loans create deposits... so they will always have more deposits than there are loans).

And the following passage doesn't make much sense: "When a bank makes a loan, there are two corresponding entries that are made on its balance sheet, one on the assets side and one on the liabilities side."

If you take a loan to buy a house, it will not be a new deposit at your bank. It will be a new deposit at the seller's bank. And against that new deposit, that bank can extend new loans. Etc. http://thenextturn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Fractional...

Of course when you are just getting the loan it will appear as a deposit at your bank. But this is not to balance the loan. The loan is coming from a reduction in reserves. This temporary deposit (on the liabilities side) will increase the reserves temporarily (on the assets side), but only until you take the money out to do whatever you asked the money for.

Definitely banks do not lend out more than they have in deposits (ignoring other forms of financing for banks, of course).

That is simply the state of public transportation in the US. I don't use buses very frequently, but the times I had to, my success rate with getting on a bus at the time it was scheduled is somewhere around 40%.

Sometimes it comes 15 minutes late, sometimes it doesn't come entirely and then it's a 30 minute wait (or longer) until the next one. One time it actually came early AND left early. I have no idea what the people who expected it 10 minutes later did. I guess they had to wait 40 minutes.

And it's not a walkable distance either (5-6 miles), so I still have to wait.
I asked because of the YC thread today about “startup ideas” and this is a legitimate need for thousands of businesses.
I think it's an important point, but I think it extends far beyond and predates the Trump administration.

It happens all over the political spectrum to a degree, but the GOP and its supporters have really embraced it and have been using that kind of rhetoric for a long time (and it's worked very well for them in terms of framing and dominating debate): Consider talk radio, such as Limbaugh, which goes back to the 1980s or early 90s; Fox News hosts, such as O'Reilly and Hannity; and the Wall St Journal opinion pages. Look at the rhetoric used by Cheney and Rumsfeld in the Bush administration, or, for a specific example, the GOP congressman who yelled 'you lie' during an Obama State of the Union speech. Over-the-top, hyper-aggressive attacks on the other side is their common rhetorical tactic; they are demonstrations of aggression, for their supporters and for anyone who might disagree. (That's not meant to be partisan; I believe those are the facts and it would be false to say the politically correct thing, 'everyone does it equally':)

It's much broader than politics too. It's in reality TV, but by far the biggest example is Internet discussion boards. It's a continuing problem on HN, though my impression is that it's improved significantly here (thank goodness!). Certainly that predates Trump!

It's an obvious tactic in an argument: Act so aggressively and angrily that the other side is intimidated, and at worst no serious discussion is possible. It ends the discussion.
Awesome response, thanks for taking the time to write it.

SLUB was written by Christoph Lameter when he was at Silicon Graphics for their monster Altix machines. It took Linux hours to boot (with SLAB) on that machine. He wrote SLUB in a fit of brilliance to make Linux suck less on these, of which HPC workloads can most certainly be ran. Just like some of the crazy Cray computers, SGI machines used to own HPC. Note that I work with Christoph in the same office and have discussed this with him in person. Regarding contiguous memory allocation, a lot of serious HPC workloads use huge pages set at boot to defeat this, so that part of Linux's fail is a non-issue (You're entirely right btw). Really awesome to hear about NUMA bits in FreeBSD being improved, and I sufficiently feel hit with a cluebat on it.

The bit from Mellanox was from their engineers (in their Haifa, Israel office before lunch) telling me they build their products for Linux first, and then port to everything else. They care deeply that it works on Linux, and it is nice if it works on other systems but not as important. It wasn't a dig at them, it was what the engineer said to me.
> The complexity here is that the firmware updates shipped for Linux may well take a different QA path to the firmware updates shipped for Windows, as the distribution channels are different.

No, the update content in different OSes is identical. The firmware is being updated by UEFI capsule; the only differing part is what puts the capsule content into it's space. There's actually a third way how to do an update: straight from UEFI.
For a deep look on designing cities I recommend reading the book the power broker.

> This company has a decidedly pro-Trump stance, and they require the local stations they control to air pro-Trump commentary.

Whether they do, or they don't, that is exactly how it works on the left right now. You have to constantly bring up and talk about race, religion, and sex/gender, and be fully anti-Trump - or you are out.

> Make no mistake this is a political move, and one that is right out of a fascist/authoritarian playbook.

Move against a move.

85% of the media before, during, and after the election has been coordinating a non-stop anti-Trump campaign with made-up stories that are not based in reality (the only time they talked positive on Trump was when he launched cruise missiles into Syria). Some programming even goes to the edge - saying 'Why not kill Trump?' - and gets away with it.

Countering leftist-propaganda and fighting globalist fascism is not fascism; using the fascism/nazi label to describe every situation that you do not agree with as so, is.
If you keep the number of samples constant (so that you can have O(1) time) then the quality of the estimate goes down with the number of items in the collection. To keep the quality constant, you need number of samples to scale with the size of the collection.

How about this NYTimes story where even the scientist who coined the term disavowed it as a scenario.

> the five scientists who introduced the term ''nuclear winter'' now acknowledge that they overestimated its severity, and their concession appears to have moderated the longstanding debate.

Scientists specializing in such studies also generally reject the suggestion that a ''nuclear winter,'' in itself, could bring about the extinction of the human race. Even Dr. Richard P. Turco, the physicist who coined the phrase ''nuclear winter,'' discounts the idea.

The Constitution remains amendable. We hear arguments frequently that the Second fails to sufficiently account for modernity. Perhaps the First does, too.
It's a bit extreme but the reality is that a lot of production libraries tend to pull in imports that are as dangerous as eval, because the scope of the library is enormous, or it's actively supposed to interact with the DOM or JS. At that point, if someone can more trivially exploit it with a double free or buffer overflow, you've increased your security risk relative to JS (because overflowing a Uint8Array is basically never going to result in arbitrary function invocation)

The way function addresses are sequential in wasm tables (and deterministic) also means it is probably easier to get to the function you want once you get code execution.

> there is nothing about newspapers that makes them a natural monopoly

While I can't provide theory, in practice they certainly are. Every city has one or two papers of any significance; it's hard to name a new major newspaper that started in the last 50 years. In many places, the leading papers have combined for economic survival, but kept their editorial pages separate, for diversity of voices.

Maybe it's due to high barriers to entry? You need a printing press, distribution, and a reputation for reliability - the last probably being a newspaper's most valuable, irreplaceable asset.

The Internet provides more competition and lower barriers to entry, but I'll bet the leading Internet news source almost every town is the local newspaper(s).
I'm curious why you think AR would be a good way to solve this problem. I feel like I'm missing a few links in the chain.

> My suggestion is that people stop being so damn concerned about their moral status and start caring more about actually fixing things.

This is silly. Moral status is a necessary component of political capital. The entire reason the progressive left stuck to their confusing "systemic racism" term is because it conveniently allows them to strip dissidents and critics of the political capital necessary to implement their fixes or even advance the national discourse. Of course, we could think wishfully about a world where politics were irrelevant (as I sometimes do), but that's not productive.

WASM resulted in adding a lot of new API to JS, like thread-shared buffers and coming atomics. This requires quite a few new lines of native code in the implementation significantly increasing attack surface. Another thing is that WASM makes code faster so exploiting timing bugs or cache leaks gets easier.
Actually, “game progression” (that is, what in-game things you have, what your status is in organized play groups outside of specialized, sealed-box tournaments, etc.) in collectible card (or miniature, etc.) games absolutely is sped up by pouring more money into the randomized sets that are sold.

Also, with those, your paying for a random chance of more valuable products that, in addition to using in play, you can resell for cash. It's quite a bit more like gambling with and for money than lootboxes are.
Yup. More data is not the same as better information.

Put another way, at the extreme, you can have more and more data but unless you have the right data and are able to interpret it correctly, more data will only blind and confuse.

Comparisons:

Mashable: $46M raised[0], 15M MAU[1] and $35-40M p.a in revenue[2] (sold for $50M)

Business Insider: $55M raised, 76M MAU, $50M+ rev (sold at $442M[5])

Refinery29: $125M raised, 27M MAU, $100M+ rev

Vox: $307M raised[4], 170M MAU, $100M+ rev

Buzzfeed: $496M raised, 200M+ MAU, $280-300M rev (was $350M - updated thanks)

HuffPo: $37M raised, 126M MAU, $30M+ rev (sold for $316M)

TechCrunch: $0 raised, 5M+ MAU, ? rev (sold for $25-30M)

Medium: $132M raised, 60M+ MAU, ? rev

Cracked: $0 raised, 10M+ MAU, $12M+ rev (sold for $39M[6])

Margins and growth are the diff between selling for 1.5x revenue and 10x revenue[7] - clearly a few models, where you either raise a little and do well with low headcount and organic audience, or raise $40M+ and set an expectation of getting near 100M MAU with $40M+ p.a revenue with high margins (~50%) and growth

It's just an analogy, and I didn't claim it's perfect :-)

But there's a divide between language authors who sound like engineers/mathematicians and language authors who sound like continental philosphers.
