> This.

Sometimes this, sometimes that, it depends really.

> The talks about 30% (or even 300%!) impact based on a graph without any details or methodology, often itself based on a microbenchmark or a tweet that got viral is really not helping.

Of course it's helping, everyone learned about CPU architecture, speculative execution, caches, and started trading AMD and INTC all of the sudden.

But to be serious, doesn't "details and methodology" apply to any benchmarks we see on Twitter. Or do people automatically start buying more servers when they read that tweet. Anyone here did that?

The point of that number is warn people to go and measure their own workload. Google measure and yay! not much of an impact. It's great news. Someone who does telephony and maybe is sending lots of tiny little UDP packets back and forth might be impacted. Should they start crying and running around, no. They should measure because it might affect them.

The Process of Urban Change (2017)
Highly unlikely.

DNA's 'half-life' is about 500 years. Meaning that each nucleotide-bond has a 50% chance of breaking every 500 years.[0] At the time scales of interstellar travel, DNA based life is very unlikely to survive.

EDIT: This then means that DNA based life was likely a local phenomenon. This also means that other planets may have done the same and that a 'interstellar seed' is not required.

I would never send to him :)
I hate to always be siding with NIMBYs but it's not always about wealthy people's wealth. Can't it also be about families simply not wanting to be stacked and packed into dense urban sardine can housing? As amazing as it sounds, some people like suburban life and not everyone wants their neighborhood to transform into a big city.
Anecdotally: I game, compile, transcode, and do any other number of CPU-intensive tasks on my machine. My household is definitely "geeky".

I still run an i7 2600k, which is a Sandy Bridge CPU introduced 7 years ago.

I don't (didn't? may not?) have any pressing reason to upgrade, although I was considering it. Funnily enough, even before now I was considering the AMD Zen architecture, and although I'm still undecided I'm being pushed further and further towards AMD through ethical considerations alone.
I started using Binance a couple of weeks ago.

My login suddenly stopped working last week.

I do not recommend them unfortunately =[
Entirely a sales problem.. but your next line you mention that engineers have significant troubles using current tools.

Sounds like it's not just a sales problem to get novices to use distributed branch management correctly.. but maybe a design problem with the current tooling. If it requires significant experience to use a tool correctly, then it is impossible for novices to use as you must turn them into experienced users.

My original comment was just to point out that GitHub is another UI on git repos, and thus might work around some of these design flaws.
Why do the euro models feature completely different (and arguably better) configurations?

I have one of these from a couple generations back and absolutely love it. My only regret is getting the high end model with the touch screen and high-res screen. I've heard 1080p has better battery life and I've spent more time I'm proud to admit dealing with the hell of configuring apps to not look like garbage on a high-res screen.
I bought an XPS 15, also maxed out, years ago and regretted it also. I had all the power problems you mention, except the random shutoffs.

The machine was not really usable for professional work.

I now have a Thinkpad X1 Carbon 5th gen. It has no major issues and works reliably, even with Linux as the primary OS. Granted, it was more expensive, but well worth the purchase price.
But... this doesn't use client to client communication. As far as the AP is concerned there is one client (the attacked). The victim is connected to the attacked believing the attacker is the AP.
Your Ethernet controller and hard drive controller don’t really need to talk to anything else. If either is compromised, it’s already bad.
I think it's something that will be forcibly turned into a good thing by the SEC. They have a mandate to reign this sort of thing in and ensure the right balance of innovation in capital markets versus cutting down on fraud and overhype - it's exactly what they did during the excesses of the junk bond era.

Here's an article about it on Hackernoon:

https://medium.com/@seiso_matt/investor-liability-for-icos-c...
this is a very misinformed hate article. first of all you can buy a bunch of things with bitcoim even microsoft services. second you can very easily cash out whatever you want unless you are talking of dozens of millions which yes will drive the market down a bit.third it is starting to be recognised as currency in many parts of the world. usa treats it as an asset class too (cboe,cme anyone?). the problem with cryptocurrency is that it created a lot of fanatics against it and that's usually mainly people that hate it that they missed out or sold very early.
There is a difference between following good security practices (gratuitous isolation, defensive design) and having exploits ready to show the world how valuable it is. Noone was claiming AMD knew of such exploits beforehand.
"paste base64 nonsense into email"

Note that Im telling them to attach a text file they encrypted rather than mess with encodings and stuff. They just encrypt a file, attach it, done. Alternatively, the front end has a built in editor that outputs an encrypted file with the name they pick.

Far as failure automation, you could say that about anything. Ive reduced the problem of communicating to two steps. Most things aren't that easy centralized or decentralized.
> Or do you simply hope fascist ideas don't take hold?

Free speech exists to protect speech when fascists take hold. It's why no matter who is president of the US, we can spew all the hate we want. Unlike in germany where speech is dependent on who is in charge. If fascists take over and then decide anti-fascist speech is hate speech, then germans are screwed. Whereas in america, if fascists take over, they are screwed because we have free speech in america.

> The former is a scary slippery slope but Germany doesn't have a great track record with the latter.

Germany doesn't have a good track record because they always had "hate speech" laws. Hitler was able to censor everything because the german government always had the the power to censor "hate speech".

Hitler would never had been able to do what he did if the german government didn't have powers to shut down all political parties and censor all "hate speech".

Imagine if we had a culture of censorship in the US and hate speech was banned. Then trump become president and his government decides anything critical of trump is hate speech.

Nitpick. Emacsen refer to an editor in the Emacs family. It wasn't always the case that Emacs was equated with GNU Emacs.

Most CMSes suck at versioning and in any case, you create massive headaches for yourself by having multiple versioning systems that need synchronization on the same project.
Burned out people have history of producing a lot in the past or working on high pressure projects. Also, they don't keep doing nothing long term, they tend to seek solution.

Lastly, not sure how them being burned out would changed all that much. The impact on team would be all the same.
What do you mean by "same OS requirement"? Can't you take your environment.yml from a Mac and recreate the environment on Linux?
Page rendering peculiarity in IOS Firefox: The content shrinks about 5% whenever my finger touches the screen.

I agree with the comment at the top of this thread. In my own experience I can say that this helped me more than anything to get on the right track https://www.thefoundationsofwellbeing.com/

I know, the website looks a little cheesy but everything they talk about in the videos is legit. Meditate. Eat food that is actually nutritious, exercise, learn to be grateful and resilient. If you don't find Rick Hanson's way of talking about those topics to be helpful, just google the overall ideas of self-care and well being. Pretty much everyone says the same sort of things Rick Hanson says, but different people put slightly different spins on particular parts of the message. Find the message that speaks to you about this: how to take care of yourself.

Not just "how to happy" or "how to be productive".
people test these because we have the technology to check if a large number of the Mersenne form is prime at a faster speed than numbers that do not conform.
Banks hate cryptocurrency yet Ripple Inc. keeps putting out press releases about working with banks. People read these press releases and think XRP will be the first/only legit cryptocurrency and thus it must be worth more in the future. But they're probably completely wrong.

More likely, this is a shift back to in-order processors, if the solutions aren't workable. If you're in an embedded scenario, sure you can make more trade-offs and have more control, but it's not going to look great when it happens to get hacked.
Everyone is affected by the prohibitively high cost of moving to cities with good jobs and environmentally sustainable built environments. Small groups shouldn’t get to make their own laws to the detriment of society at large, any more than corporations or organized crime families should.
The “formula” could be as simple as 10x annual salary for life threatening illness. That wouldn’t rupture the treasury and still provide means for people.

I would take the bet that something that provides direct revenue incentives is worth more than something that only an admittedly vocal minority of users even care about, let alone might spend more for.
Doesn't VSCode embeds neovim already, so you can use neovim plugins from VSCode as well.
Pipenv is only as good as the wheels that get installed. And the wheels are only as good as the assumption that your runtime/deployment environment matches the buildtime environment of the person who made those wheels.

Oftentimes with ML and compute-intensive workloads, performance is an aspect of correctness. It is nontrivial to get the right accelerated libraries, and the right GPU libraries linking against the right Numpy version for the particular notebook you're running.

If you are doing work just for yourself, or if you have total control over the deployment environment (and your collaborator's environments), then you might be able to get away with just using pip for these things.
Unfortunately for grownups, making 100X in one year and then retiring probably does beat value investing over the long term.
It certainly doesn't seem to have panned out at all. Indeed, there are countries (eg, ie, Germany) that have moved away from nuclear; as far as I've been able to tell with the backing of the environmentalists and to the detriment of the actual environment.

I really have to hold myself back from ranting about comparisons of countries using nuclear compared to their next door neighbors who do not. I've seen precious little evidence that nuclear power is anything but a positive for the environment compared to what people actually do in practice.

But the environmental movement absolutely seems to hate it.
Those should move to the actual suburbs then.
I had a further thought...

Whatever the failings of feudalism and royalty from centuries past, there at least was a system in place for the elites to train the next generation of elites. The goal was to teach them how to rule, how to maintain their power base, and so on. A tradition to carry on, because they all knew they wouldn't be around forever.

We live in such chaotic times now. There is no tradition, no body of knowledge and custom to guide the elites of our society now. Now they do whatever the heck they want, with seemingly little regard for their own family's future, much less the fate of society in general.
The RAM is soldered on and you can't get more than 16 GB of it? This sounds like a MBP, I guess I'll pass.

I've a 5+ year old ThinkPad that has had 32 GB in it since the day I got it.
Just masking the lower bits is not enough: you can easily reconstruct a high-precision timer from that by observing the clock edges (waiting until rtdsc increases): wait for clock edge, do your experiment, increase counter until next clode edge in busy loop. the counter now correlates strongly with the amount of time taken for the experiment.

Also, while cache flushes are the easiest way to trigger this, I am not convinced that there aren't other ways to do it. For example, you could attempt to clear the cache by spamming it with new data to cache, or you could try to use one of the other sidechannels (I've seen ALU ports being mentioned as one alternative: instead of accessing cache lines, you do some heavy math operations that will cause the ALU ports of the cpu to be used and then you observe how long ALU operations take in userspace)
Yep. It bad to develop for, and left lots on the table compared to its contemporary Xbox 360, despite "theoretically" better specs. 1

Not sure how much it correlates with IT. I'm sure it does on higher levels. But on lower/mid levels, lot of meetings are just regular work stuff. Inter/intra team communication, talks with clients, etc.

It's an 8-acre site. At that height I'm sure they could figure out how to get 100 dwellings per acre, and that works out to something near 2000 occupants. A parking space at a BART station produces fewer than two rides per day, while a housing unit within half a mile of BART produces more than four rides per day.
Look at the map. Six city blocks at North Berkeley and 2-3 at Ashby. You could easily put 2000+ new units there if you get past the NIMBYs. Most other stations in the East Bay already have all adjacent lots spoken for with (relatively) high density development (Lafayette and Orinda being the notable, also NIMBY driven exceptions).

Since you're using python and you're trying to store configuration style data in something that you might want a non-programmer to maintain, might I suggest storing the data as YAML and parsing with my library?

https://github.com/crdoconnor/strictyaml

I wrote it partly to make it easier for non-programmers to maintain structured data - which seems to be your use case. YAML is cleaner and easier to maintain than python dicts/lists/etc, and with a strictly validated schema you can trigger failures caused by accidental insertion of invalid data at an earlier stage.
> harsh context break for me. There's no continuity like a book

more than a page turn?

I find the continual swiping distracting. And it's a much more complex motion (akin to a page turn) and must be done more frequently than paing. A tap of the space bar is about the simplest motion, and (except in cases of bad page design) gives a clean "start at top for next page" rather than trying to figure out where on the screen your next line is.

Preferences vary, obviously.
I've heard of, although never implemented, using WPA2 Enterprise authentication for public access points, and then just have your RADIUS server reply with a success regardless of username and password combination.

At first I thought this was a terrific idea, but never tried it since I figured having a non-standard workflow for users to connect may cause too much confusion in the end.

I believe you’re still misunderstanding the deposit of trust thing. It’s not about app quality at all or any of that.

Imagine “trust” is a currency, and each user had a “trust account” into which more trust could be deposited (or withdrawn). Apple made a large deposit of trust-as-currency into each user’s account when they axed the Google Maps relationship. Google was demanding a large tax/withdrawal from each user’s trust account. Apple stopped that, effectively making a large deposit of trust back into each user’s account.

Yes, Apple’s Maps has suffered and been inferior. But it isn’t taxing/withdrawing from each user’s trust balance.
It wouldn't really matter anyways since the Chinese have been making MIPS64 chips for more than a decade.

I found Netgear's Orbi really great consumer devices. I am using them exclusively at home now and they are great. They support ethernet or wifi backhaul, can build an actual mesh if you need but have really great out of the box performance with just the satellite(s) connecting to the router.

Definitely the most stable wifi setup I have ever owned and they also provide OpenVPN and a bunch of other nice things out of the box.
Maybe I'm missing something, but if they sent you an Ubuntu-compatible laptop and just forgot to install Ubuntu on it, can't you do that yourself?

Many people who I think highly of subscribe to the benefits of mesh networking which I suppose can be summarized as simplicity, ease of use, and relatively low cost. I was almost lured into mesh when I changed my mind and decided to investigate Ubiquiti Unifi. Having chosen Ubiquiti, I'm pretty convinced I made the right choice. When I continue to hear people coming out of the woodwork lauding the mesh systems like eero, I keep wondering if their use case or preferences are that different from mine.
