> In my experience, a misbehaving linux system that's out of RAM and has swap to spare will be unusably slow.

Yeah, this is basically the main drawback of swap. I tried to address this somewhat in the article and the conclusion:

> Swap can make a system slower to OOM kill, since it provides another, slower source of memory to thrash on in out of memory situations – the OOM killer is only used by the kernel as a last resort, after things have already become monumentally screwed. The solutions here depend on your system:

> - You can opportunistically change the system workload depending on cgroup-local or global memory pressure. This prevents getting into these situations in the first place, but solid memory pressure metrics are lacking throughout the history of Unix. Hopefully this should be better soon with the addition of refault detection.

> - You can bias reclaiming (and thus swapping) away from certain processes per-cgroup using memory.low, allowing you to protect critical daemons without disabling swap entirely.

Have a go setting a reasonable memory.low on applications that require low latency/high responsiveness and seeing what the results are -- in this case, that's probably Xorg, your WM, and dbus.
It was an ad hominem. I'm sorry. Good luck with your endeavors. Erlang is a wise choice, if you can find the people to support it.
It's better than that. Normal iPhones have less than 8 watt hours of battery life, they simply don't need peak power much. 8/24 = 0.333w, you lose some to overhead but you also reduce power draw by 0.33w so that's a reasonable estimate. @ 20% efficient that's 1.65w of heat, but your also storing .3w so really only 1.35w of waste heat. That's a 30% heat production increase at peak which doesn't seem like a deal killer.

7 Plus has a ~30% larger battery, but can dump heat ever more area so not a big deal.

Indeed. The "tallest" resolution for laptops these days the rare 3:2 (surface laptops, possibly also the HP Spectre x2), followed by the odd 16:10 (actually is there any laptop manufacturer using 16:10 other than Apple?).

16:10 or 16:9 have the convenience that (at fixed diagonal) they have good support for multiple columns, but this comes at a severe cost to vertical space & total surface area.

Though IIRC for some types of FPS widescreen resolutions is also good (as long as the FOV is configurable) as it gives a wider field of view.
> Oftentimes general purpose technologies can come to market only after predecessors in niche areas.

There are already such machines in industry (in garment-making, hotels etc). The challenge is that they are typically specialised towards specific types of garment. Nobody in industry really needs a generic machine; but that's the only configuration that the home market will consider. The only sub-niche big enough that could maybe sustain a specialised machine in the home is "shirts and trousers" - but there the real annoyance is ironing, not folding.
the "studied" doesn't mean she holds a degree. Watch out for those loose terms.

> if, somehow, building 100 units of housing somehow attracts more than 100 families into the city from outside the area

The problem in some cities (London) is that this does happen at some level: 100 units of housing attract enough investors to start a speculative price rise, as they buy multiple units each. Maybe 50 of those units will stay empty forever, but average prices in the area will have been pushed up for good, compounding the problem.

While this is quite impressive and having been in the same boat myself once I have come to the conclusion that unless you're doing it as a hobby, creating and shipping product is like 30% of your job.

The rest 70% 100x more important job is marketing, which speaking as a small business owner, consists of SEO, email marketing, side project marketing, blogging, contenting marketing, etc. Those are the actual time consuming often boring things that determine your project's success.

Am I missing something or does the article not explain why pecking at a face is interpreted as it is?
This only works depending on the scale of the company.
If the company is huge and involved in many things there is less engagement from each employee with the overall mission of the company. This is even more pronounced when employees can't even see the fruit of their work in society. Like when the developer workforce of a company is spread across many countries but the clients are focused only in one company.
I think expecting candidates to have a basic idea what the company does is fine.
But unless the company is a small startup, expecting them to be engaged with the mission is unreasonable.

There are many reasons for candidates to be excited to work for a company:

- friends

- great team fit

- technological challenges or preferences

- work-life balance

- location

These and others contribute to an employee doing his job with passion.
(note: money is not one of them. there is a study that showed that above a certain level for a person, no amount of extra remuneration will result in an increase in productivity)

And I imagine this is the case even for pinnacles of vision like SpaceX. I imagine employees at SpeceX do not care about the future of SpaceX , they care about putting man on mars, making space available cheaply, pushing the boundaries of human exploration and of technological capabilities, Musks vision and enthusiasm. But not SpaceX as a company.

People should really stop expecting companies to have emotions. Companies do not care about people so people should not care about companies either. People care about other people and society at large.
The ordinary Chromecast is HDMI only, ie. a 100% digital connection. You have to plug it into a HDMI-capable device obviously, but most people use AV receivers these days.

Besides, the onboard DAC in the CCA is more than good enough. No need to mess around with an external DAC.

One problem with relying on the OOM killer in general is that the OOM killer is only invoked in moments of extreme starvation of memory. We really have no ability currently in Linux (or basically any operating system using overcommit) to determine when we're truly "out of memory", so the main metric used is our success or failure to reclaim enough pages to meet new demands.

As for the analogy -- there are metrics you can use today to bat away grandma before she starts hoarding too much. We have metrics for how much grandma is putting in the house (memory.stat), at what rate we kick our own stuff out of the house just to appease grandma, but then we realise we removed stuff we actually need (memory.stat -> workingset_refault), and similar. Using this and Johannes' recent work on memdelay (see https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10027103/ for some recent discussion), it's possible to see memory pressure before it actually impacts the system and drives things into swap.
If you have multiple CCAs, you can set them up for multi-room playback. AFAIK you cannot do that with the ordinary Chromecast.
As far as I'm concerned, economics is just supply and demand, and the efficient market hypothesis. Anything beyond that is some combination of politics, psychology, and social studies.

It's fairly common in the boardgame industry, especially for boutique games like 7th Continent, Gloomhaven, or Kingdom Death: Monster.

These games don't fit well into the general mass production/sell in your local game store/keep stock on hand long term and sell online models. Too heavy, too many specially cards, too weird of a form factor, etc.

The 2017 Kickstarter campaigns for all 3 of these games were actually their second runs - previous KS had run and generated a lot of hype for the games, and were massive hits the first time around.

A lot of the time you are betting on a designer with a past track record. Other times you get drawn in by a concept that sounds interesting. But for these second production runs, it's more just pre-ordering a known quantity that doesn't lend itself to constant general availability.
Sorting the clothes would be nice too. We have children and sorting all their clothes and our clothes also takes some time and work.

I have mixed feelings about this kind of articles.

On the one hand is inspiring to see what other can achieve.

On the other hand, I feel like I am getting trapped in a culture where if you aren't working on 30 side projects outside work, you are a lazy ass that won't be successful.

I make little open source web games as hobby and side project. I never made a dime out of them, and nobody gave a damn anyway. I have put way too much time and effort on these projects and I don't feel like the satisfaction I got out of them has paid off.

I have been working on a single bigger game for over 2 years now and I have seen a cycle repeat: I get very excited, I work really hard and make lots of progress, I get burnt out and I leave it for weeks/months. Right now I'm on my third burnout cycle. It feels nice to have free time again. Time to watch movies, play games, hang out with people or just go out for a walk for no reason. But I can't help to feel guilty because I am not working on my side projects. I have also promised myself that if I ever manage to complete this game, I won't engage on a large scale side project again, and chances are I will leave games completely.

So it may only be me but besides this kind of articles I would like to read articles about people who have no side projects, and that is also ok.

EDIT: Here you can find my current project, it's a sciency idle game so not everyone's cup of tea. Play at your own risk!

I'm running on an 8GB Linux box without swap and never even come close to running out of memory. If I don't have any VMs running, then it's pretty unusual for me to use much more than 1-2 gigs. It's interesting... one of my colleagues has serious problems with performance because he keeps running out of memory -- and I don't think he's doing anything unusual.

I think there is something wrong with some of the major distros. I got really fed up with Ubuntu because of random junk running without my approval and eventually migrated to Arch simply because I have a lot more control over configuration. I don't mean to trash one distro over another because each one has its strengths and weaknesses, but I'm been surprised at how bloated the average Linux install is these days. I'd love it if there was more attention paid to it.
Originally, they'd been getting the sugar from yeast, but they borrowed enzymes from a soil bacterium to radically reduce the cost of manufacture. From the article: "...making it in large quantities was expensive—about $700 per kilogram. With tinkering, syrup scientists at Japan’s Hayashibara chemistry company finally figured out a novel enzymatic method to make it on the cheap from starch. The method brought costs down to just $3 per kilogram."

From the paper linked in the article:

"Although its usefulness was recognized, trehalose was not produced on an industrial scale until 1994. The conventional method for production, for example, extraction from yeast, had too low a yield andtoo high a cost to be used. In order to implement industrial production of trehalose, we have researchednew enzyme systems and have succeeded in isolating a novel enzyme system from a bacterial strainbelonging to the genus Arthrobacter sp. Q36 that was obtained from soil [1]. The system has been found
to consist of two novel enzymes: malto-oligosyltrehalose synthase (or MTSase) and malto-oligosyltre-halose trehalohydorolase (or MTHase). In the first step, MTSase catalyzes the intramolecular transglycosylation of glucose residue at the reducing end of malto-oligosaccharide from α-1, 4 bond to α-1, 1 bond, then malto-oligosyltrehalose is produced. This contains trehalose residue at the end of the saccharide chain. Next, trehalose is liberated from malto-oligosyltrehalose by MTHase. This pathway needs no high-energy sugar derivative such as sugar phosphate or sugar nucleotide. And those enzymes can repeatedly act on α-1, 4 glucan to produce trehalose up to 80 % yield (Fig. 1). The trehalose production scheme that has been developed in our company is shown in Fig. 2. Starch is liquefied by a thermostable α-amylase and is debranched by isoamylase. The formed amylose is converted into trehalose by this system. The system involves two novel enzymes, MTSase and MTHase, which act on amylose or starch to produce trehalose efficiently. By this process, we have succeeded in reducing the production cost of trehalose to approximately one hundredth of its initial cost. The cost was reduced enough to permit a widespread application to many foods such as sweeteners and stabilizers. In addition, trehalose is also expected to be used for various applications in the fields of
medicine and cosmetics."
In theory swap is useful, in practice it can be less so https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16147634
The point being is, that a system doesn't have to misbehave to allocate more memory than the total RAM. And in those cases, there is a very good reason to have swap space, and swapping won't impact the performance of the system - rather the opposite.

I didn't mention oil (ever heard of Co2?). I mentioned that power source has impact on the environment because that is reality 101. If I have 100 buckets of sustainable water, and I piss in 90 of them, then the rest of the world only got 10 buckets of sustainable water left for general consumption. Which is a loss of sustainable energy. So using unnecessarily vast amounts of energy is a loss for the environment. Of course this isn't in the interest of miners or Bitcoin evangelist like yourself.

What about applications that have memory-bound performance characteristics? In these cases, saving a bit of memory often directly translates into throughput, which translates into $$$.

This isn't a theoretical, a bunch of services which I've run in the past and currently literally make more money because of swap. By using memory more efficiently and monitoring memory pressure metrics instead of just "freeness" (which is not really measurable anyway), we allow more efficient use of the machine overall.
