WRT to self-documenting. VS Code and Atom aren't self-documenting like Emacs might have something to do with the language itself. There's just no equivalent of ELISP's powerful introspection mechanism that allows you to fish out the docstring in one simple function call. However, Python does, and it's not even a function call, it's just a property access. Have you tried Sublime?
Is there decent mouse gesture support for 57? That's one thing I'm not willing to budge on in terms of ditching old functionality from addons. Mouse gestures have become a way of life for me.

We use a Django admin based CMS for part of our product, but most CMS solutions are about things like blog posts or knowledge bases, not for complex data models and changing configuration of an application (like our current shipping estimate). Building editing interfaces in Django is relatively straightforward, but by not doing it we can save hours, maybe a day, and that’s worth it if we’d only use the editing interface for 5 minutes a month, or are testing a new thing that we might throw away in a week.
It does. The ripple currency is just for paying the fees.
As in the video, people would say the same about Ethereum, and yet, Ethereum's community continue to grow and its exchange value continues to grow.

On the other hand, what does Bitcoin have to show? Its community has stagnated and fractured, use-cases have stagnated. As an outsider, it often feels like Bitcoin early adopters are just sitting back and just calling other people stupid.

Anaconda has a better tool for cloning identical environments as long as both machines are on the same OS: https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.h...

In theory, pip lets you do this with pip freeze, but I found that pip often broke on some finicky libraries, while Anaconda failed much less frequently (though still has occasional issues.) The main drawback is the same OS requirement – this makes it harder to e.g. develop on a mac and then launch a pipeline on an Ubuntu machine in AWS.

I think the various flush and prefetch instructions are mainly a vestigial artifact from before modern CPUs got good at cache management.

In certain specific conditions, they can be used to increase performance, but these days this is increasingly rare because the hardware cache management is surprisingly intelligent.

How is this bill different from that?

What you are afraid of seem to describe exactly our current situation, where large office parks or shopping centers are build with little integration with housing.

To the contrary of what you are saying this regulation would make it harder for cities to approve offices that can not be connected to new transit near housing due to zoning. I doubt that most people given the choice would choose to drive in traffic instead of taking transit to work if the housing situation allowed them to do so.

> Yeah, look, I think on balance this is likely to be a net benefit, if something of a blunt instrument, in the Bay Area and L.A. Basin, but it's not limited to those places, and it's triggering transit conditions have no consideration of the connected services and only limited consideration of capacity.

If there is no demand developers will not build, so I do not see how this can become a large problem.
The complexity comes from when those standards don't let you do something, and you have to do weird things to break through them. Such as leaky abstractions.

AFAIK, mineral wools and silica fabrics have replaced much of the high temperature insulation that asbestos used to do. I believe they do the job just as well, but they're more expensive because they're manufactured rather than mined.
I think you missed my point, which was simply that any service which you care about should be running on n > 1 servers and with at least enough capacity planning so that a small percentage change in workload doesn't cause user-visible failures. That's especially true in an environment like EC2 where hosts fail and noisy neighbors can cause service degradation.

In this case, the thread made it clear that the real problem was that they didn't have a good deployment story — notice how the original poster was mentioning needing to move everything to an m3.medium manually? I would be quite surprised if they haven't had other problems in the past (e.g. what happens when a system update kicks off if that server is already running at 90+% utilization? or when they get more users and/or the existing users start doing slightly more) but hadn't wanted to deal with the hassle of migrating.

Eliminating, no, but definitely slashing funding. The proposal in CA would have required federal Medicare funding to make it viable, and less of that would probably kill it.

The thing that pisses me off is that the GOP wants to slash funding for a ton of public services, but not materially lower taxes for people. So if states want to bring back those public services, they need to raise taxes, which overall causes a person's tax rate to be higher.

I'd be fine with the federal gov't even entirely killing Medicare if that would cause my effective federal tax rate to drop by several percentage points, points that I'd be happy to turn around and give to CA for them to implement something like single-payer.

(The downside, of course, is that residents of less progressive states get screwed, which is why I'd rather the federal gov't leave things alone, but give states like CA more latitude in how they use those dollars.)
Speculative execution is a workaround for the fact that CPUs read and process data much more quickly than main memory can provide it. The CPU tries to trace as many code-paths as possible so it can discover which memory addresses are likely to be used in the near future and queue them up so they'll be ready in the local cache when they're needed.

Smarter compilers wouldn't really help, this is all about how the code is running for the next millisecond on this specific workload on this specific CPU, rather than how it's running today or on this cluster or in general.
2^42 is a number so large, it seems highly unlikely. The world population today is only 2^33. There might be - must be - multiple paths leading to the same person, for many persons. In any pedigree.
That's only modern times and it only applies to societies with contraception and women's right and most importantly, women's education.

For most of history, women weren't educated and there wasn't reliable contraception and hence they all had many babies.

Also, kings/nobility in the past had concubines and consorts who produced children as well.

> The poor traditionally have much larger families.

Also, wealth really doesn't factor into family sizes anywhere today. Poor educated women have less children than wealthy uneducated women.

For some reason, the more educated women are, the less likely they are to have many babies. This is a trend that holds in europe, the US, japan, south korea, etc across all wealth levels.
The idea that Coinbase would do anything at all to increase the number of people trying to use their system to buy or sell anything is laughable. I have been locked out of my coinbase account pending id verification, which I have submitted numerous times incidentally, since December 12 without even a peep of support follow up from Coinbase.

So, for me, seeing stories like this are basically just rage inducing. Coinbase should not offer anything new until they can invest in support infrastructure to close out all of the tickets that have been submitted by a great many people who have been essentially ripped off.

I have given up on the idea that I will ever hear back from Coinbase support at this point. I put money into the system in good faith expecting that, because they were US based, there would be some customer support. I see now it is a swindle. You can play this same trick with just about any valued product: take thousands of orders, collect everyone's money, and then just tell everyone that you are so swamped that technically it will be a very very long time before anyone can get refunds or deliveries.

Oldest trick in the book.

And stories like this where the mainstream Silicon Valley hype machine continues to play along with this ludicrous narrative are absurd and upsetting.

The fact is: Coinbase cannot support transactions or customer issues in a timely way and is making no effort to resolve any of the issues in a timely way after having taken everyone's money.
This is why it was always a good idea to install NoScript in default deny mode, and then only white-list select domains that you believe you can trust.
I just mention System76 because they have exactly what I want, but I have no way of being able to use it. I'm kind of bitter about it.

But yeah I'm getting sold more and more on the touch screen, honestly. I think gestures and such have the potential to be neat, and could optimize my workflow.

Being able to move and resize windowed stuff in i3, something I have bound to mouse keys at the moment, would be really neat with a touch screen. Makes the desktop seem tactile and real.
It is a pain to move them with key presses, so I usually move my hand to the mouse anyhow.

Gestures, like some tap or something to move a window out of the scratchpad, and back to tiling mode or whatever. Neat.
Though the keyboard combination I use now would probably be faster.

In addition, as Someone1234 pointed out, native touch events would be really nice to have when doing web dev. I for one constantly use the Chrome mobile emulator. Native would be better.

My understanding is that it was a known risk, see the various citations already provided throughout this thread. Meltdown is a bugged design decision because it failed to consider the consequences of asynchronously verifying permission for speculative executions that reach into kernel space, which allows the Spectre attack to affect kernel memory too. That's the limitation of the reach of the "Intel bug" as far as I know, the rest is generally applicable.

The Spectre attack is a side effect of performing speculative execution without wiping caches, something that was, until yesterday, an intentional and clearly-chosen industry design direction, standard across almost every commercial CPU produced in the last 20 years, despite the known risk of "theoretical" timing attacks.

The only reason for Intel to make the decisions that led them to be vulnerable to Meltdown was to sacrifice correctness/safety for performance, and failing to consider the potential side effects of that sacrifice (cache heat). They obviously made a bad risk tradeoff there (though I don't necessarily fault them).

AMD could definitely make the argument that Meltdown was an irresponsible "benchmark cheat" from Intel.

EDIT: And let me further clarify, ARM was "cheating" and doing the permission check asynchronously on some models too (i.e., some of their chips are also vulnerable to Spectre in Kernel-space aka Meltdown). It's not solely an Intel issue.

> private ML tutoring from him

> I didn't get lessons because I gave up and eventually took the MOOC

Udacity still didn't get him onboard. I took DLF ND because of the tutoring they promised, did GANs as my first project to be in the queue, then graduated later still with no mentoring sessions. So you didn't miss anything by dropping out. How were Ng's new lessons? Worth taking it if I did DLF + fast.ai already?

BTW, GANs main use might be allowing almost fully unsupervised learning by extending small datasets with believable data.
I don't think that's realistic; registers and SRAM are a lot more expensive than DRAM and consume a lot more power. I think having some combination of fast, expensive RAM and slow, cheap RAM in any system larger than a tiny microcontroller is just a fact of life.

A different way to attack this problem is to make timing attacks harder by disallowing programs from reading the current time or inferring the passage of time by monitoring non-deterministic interactions between threads.

Pure Haskell code (i.e. code that runs outside the IO monad) is an example of an execution environment that conceals timing from the running code.

There are certain kinds of problems that aren't amenable to running in a completely side-effect and non-determinism free sandbox, but maybe for some applications it's a viable solution.
> what have these flush and prefetch instructions ever done for us?

Flushing the cache is important when the data must be in the main memory, for instance when an I/O device does DMA to it and is not coherent with the caches. As for prefetch instructions, they are hard to use correctly, but in some cases can make an algorithm much faster.
​How Linux Is Dealing with Meltdown and Spectre

I regret buying the 9560. Changed the screen under warranty 4 times and it either had a pink tint (twice), uneven backlight or backlight bleed. In the end I was just tired and decided to keep it as it is. My girlfriend got a MBP recently. This is when I realized how spending $2100 on XPS was not very smart.
They don't. This article is inaccurate. Ripple has gained along with the rest of the altcoin market. Has little or nothing to do with Coinbase.

New chips without these bugs aren't going to be ready for at least 2 years if not longer. While one bug affects intel, the other bug affects intel amd and arm chips. So it's not like you can get a better computer. I suppose you might join a class action suit though. Make sure your signing up for asus doesn't require binding arbitration.

Ultimately your chip will be plenty fast for dev work. and $850 is damn cheap compared to most macbook pros.
Lol, scorn, that's a big word.
I dislike System76 because they refuse to support European layouts. US only. I am very bitter about it.

I dislike most laptop manufacturers of this day, because they all either:

* Only make touch-screens in 4K

* Don't let you upgrade your RAM.

* Only sell with Windows bundled. Not paying for Windows, no thanks

Dell satisfied only one of those criteria. They are very high in my book. In fact, I am using one of their 4K monitors right now.
That sounds like the kind of proposal for which Linus would scream at you.
Thanks for the advice, glad to hear dissent about the viewing angle (I've only seen the touchscreen in person once, and maybe the lighting was just bad in that instance). But the cost is still a sticking point, because for me this isn't competing with a Macbook Pro; it's competing with the older refurbished laptop from an arbitrary manufacturer that I got for $0 from a friend and that I currently use solely for Linux dev. I don't have a lot of income to dedicate to Linux development, so if I'm going to upgrade at all it has to be a compelling proposition from all angles (and it occurs to me that at this point I might as well wait until Ubuntu 18.04 LTS arrives anyway).
seems to me that a touch screen laptop is a real touch device with browsers emitting (afaik) the same real touch events. as such it would seem to be better for tuning behavior compared to a laptop without real touch events. (of course it's best to have actual devices around for testing.)
All hail AI.
At this stage how usable is all of this (graal/truffle etc) in real production ?
...sure but, well, we have internet and other advancements since then, there may be a chance of less murderous solutions to work.
The Mill doesn't do speculative execution, so I guess it should be safe from Spectre? It also doesn't have a normal TLB and a very different idea of memory protection, so perhaps it will be safe from Meltdown too.

At the end of the day, though, Meltdown and Spectre are both consequences of all the caching between a modern CPU and main memory, so the Mill will likely need to at least be careful.
Well the first thing I saw there was a critique to Ant because of aesthetics, which I'd argue is a pretty weak reason to avoid a technical tool like this.

Most probably, it will make sense to counterargument or discuss some (or most) of the anecdotes that will end up appearing in that document.

That number never reached zero. Or do you think topsites went torrent?
Design choices don't need patches to fix them. Flaws and bugs do.

You seem to think that this issue is inherent to speculative execution - it is not. It is due to intel performing speculative execution in a flawed way. In particular, an incorrect branch prediction should have no detectable effect on the system, whereas here it does.
Slightly OT, Apple really needs to release a Macbook Pro or two with beefy video cards -- it's becoming nearly untenable to develop games or for AR/VR with their latest hardware. Their Intel-integrated cards are not up to the task.
But recall that Noam Chomsky himself, a titan of left thought, rejected postmodernism for his entire life, and debated Michel Foucault in 1967, dismissing the blank slate and Foucault’s naïve argument that there was no defined human nature.

Yet a good deal of investigation supports Foucault's position over the years.

Ubiquiti is dirt cheap for the entry level which pretty much outperforms any consumer oriented routers on the market.

I’ve replaced my entire setup with an edge router and 2 APs for less than what a mid to high end linksys or similarly performing routers would cost.

The QoS you get is 10 times better I can have 100% utilization on both uplink and downlink without a single real time application affected.

Security and networking features are also in an entirely different league even with taking DDWRT and OpenWRT and the likes into account.
Yes, and it's by far the worst thing about it. Reset your router while there's a cable outage? Sorry, no wifi until your cable company gets the internet connection back online.
Right? Just close your e-mail client. Or you can set up recurring timer or calendar event. Check once in the morning, after lunch, and perhaps before you end your work day.
