Yes exactly! The point is you don't build a scalable app until you have a scalable business idea. The first iterations of a startup are about testing different ideas, not about building sustainable architecture.

Yodsanklai is referring to the mythical food deserts.

We study the causes of “nutritional inequality”: why the wealthy tend to eat more healthfully than the poor in the U.S. Using two event study designs exploiting entry of new supermarkets and households’ moves to healthier neighborhoods, we reject that neighborhood environments have economically meaningful effects on healthy eating. Using a structural demand model, we find that exposing low-income households to the same food availability and prices experienced by high-income households would reduce nutritional inequality by only 9%, while the remaining 91% is driven by differences in demand. In turn, these income-related demand differences are partially explained by education, nutrition knowledge, and regional preferences. These findings contrast with discussions of nutritional inequality that emphasize supply-side issues such as food deserts.

Sorry, I meant taskbar similar to e.g. WinXP - where running apps are at one side, and icons (quick launch) at another side of the taskbar. It is possible to show quick launch on Win7 as well but icon/button sizes are different and somewhat ugly. As for "grouping" (into one button) - yes, that the first thing I turn off as well.

I might be outdated, but GPU virtualization does not allow you to use your display outputs on your graphic card. So for a workstation it isn't going to work as you would have to use another machine (sure, it could be a thin client) to remote desktop (introducing lag I wouldn't want on a worksation) to be able to get any video output. I also believe this requires AMDs or nVidias pro-line graphics cards.

So I also used PCI passthrough. I have two GPUs that I pass through meaning that I can run two virtual machines with proper graphic cards (and then regular VMs as I please). The idea was that instead of dual-booting between two machines I run them both at the same time. To switch between them I just select another input on my monitors.

Unfortunately though, it is not that simple.

This gets easier for every year and it was about 2 years since I last played with this and setup my workstation so things could have changed a bit. But even for PCI passthrough you have to be very careful selecting your GPU, motherboard and CPU. The drivers need to play along and the CPU with motherboard need to be able to isolate everything adequately. Whether AMD or nVidia is best is/was up to debate, each GPU generation has its own quirks.

For CPU you ideally you wanted a i7 or a non-entry-level Xeon to be as safe as possible, this is not a requirement but it is very possible that with a "regular" CPU you might not be able to pass through the devices you need to get it to work. More here: http://vfio.blogspot.se/2015/10/intel-processors-with-acs-su...

Bottom line, it can work great but it is a lot to setup and even if you do your research you might end up in a situation where it just doesn't work. Oh, and the hypervisor you use might screw you, removing the very features you depend on.

I don't understand why you say "it's unlikely the Menshevik republicans would have pulled that off". It's what "Menshevik republicans" i.e. social democrats were doing in much of Western Europe (together with other democratic parties), and look at the results and compare them to what USSR ended up by 1991.

Of course, starting from 1917, it was not that hard to achieve progress, because the starting point was so low. NEP (the New Economic Policy of 1920's) was very efficient - but it was unorthodox in Stalin's theories, so a lot of people ended up dead or in the camps.

It puzzles me why socialists all over the world last year celebrated the October revolution (start of a new tyranny) but not the February revolution (end of old tyranny). I suppose it is because of romantic sentiments, and not knowing what actually happened.
I've heard that the 8086/8088 were used in warheads as the guide computers from the radar and other bits. I'm curious how on-point this is.

Now I'm reminded of the story of the engineer who had to face a very tricky debugging scenario when dealing with the sensing/optics assembly for a missile... it didn't use heatsinks, because the production lifetime of the system was just enough seconds shorter than the overheating point that none were needed.

(Pretty sure I stumbled on that from here but I cannot possibly remember exactly where, sorry.)
pls provide a decent async io / http library before we even get started what else can be done in Rust

I have found Rust library coverage to be really good for my requirements. Hyper (https://hyper.rs/guides/client/basic/) provides an async HTTP client although I have never needed it.

Personally, if I had an application that was heavily using HTTP I would choose a different language -- Java, Scala and Go would be good choices.

> The two parent posters are probably talking about PCI passthrough, in which case it does not really matter.

Not quite, Nvidia actually forbids the use of their consumer level cards being used this way and actively tries to deter it by detecting the use of a hypervisor in the drivers and refusing to initialize the card. There are ways to either work around or defeat this detection, either by using patched drivers that remove the check or by. Having the virtual machine hide it's presence from the guest system which can have a performance impact. AMD does not try to prevent such uses of their consumer level cards and are more likely to work out of the box.
Even so, ATMs are much safer than trusting the store clerk and whatever device they use to read your card.

I know some magnetic stripe readers actually imitates a keyboard and just "write" the card info. So if you gave focus to notepad.exe instead all the card info would be dumped in cleartext. "Oh, seems it didn't register, could you swipe your card again?"

I've built several toy projects with ReasonML. I found the overall experience fairly positive, so please take this comment kindly.

I'm concerned about the ReasonML -> OCaml -> Bucklescript -> JS compilation chain. The laws of leaky abstraction pretty much guarantees this is not a robust way to do things.

I also wished the ReasonML folks started from scratch, instead of inheriting OCaml's baggage (no forward references, a plethora of file types to deal with, no UTF8 strings without bringing in an external lib, and so on).

Less amazing, but: some recent-model (non-current) ATMs used 80386s to control the hydraulics and motors for the cash dispenser. My guess is these ATMs were manufactured sometime starting around 2004 at the earliest.

> The US dollar, as such, often hasn't adopted new developments in money transmission directly (at least, not at the consumer level)

The Federal Reserve began moving money electronically in 1915 [1]. (You read that right. Nineteen fifteen. In the early 80s, telex transmission services began.) The back offices of finance are surprisingly reactive to new technology, when the risks and rewards balance properly.

Evolution can go quickly if the selection pressure is high. (example: done in under 24 hours if we shot everybody without blue eyes)

Our environment has been drastically changed by birth control.

Previously, a desire for sex was essentially equal to a desire for reproduction. Selection for one would select for the other, so they didn't need to be distinguished.

So essentially we are now unfit for our environment. We will rapidly evolve to fit this new environment. People of the future will desire actual reproduction, not just sex.

I don't know why you are getting downvoted. That's true, starting a Python interpreter is a relatively expensive operation. There is a noticeable lag with most CLIs written in Python.

There has been some work recently to make the interpreter start faster. I hope we will see the result in Python 3.7.
This has been dealt with quite a few times here (search burnout) and recently too:

Yep, that's exactly what I would also like to see.

AFAIK there is some work on a GC in Rust, but it doesn't take away the borrow checker like you wished ;) So you will still need to use `.borrow()` and `.borrow_mut()`.

A language similar to Rust but with GC (and no borrow checker) could be quite useful for a lot of applications out there. Basically Go but a more "modern" language.

> Case in point: ransomware needs no elevated permissions.

That's the result of how we drew up the security boundaries on desktop operating systems. You don't need admin permissions to rewrite your most important documents, so ransomware running under your user account doesn't either. See also: https://xkcd.com/1200/

Linux and macOS have this problem too. The solution isn't to remove the security boundary between the user and admin accounts and to go back to the Windows 9x-era of having zero OS-level security. The solution is to create more security boundaries, so that not every program running on your behalf has the permission to rewrite all your documents. UAC was an unpopular, but not totally ineffective step in the right direction.

I have only skimmed through the paper, but I am a bit skeptical about their conclusions. The authors first showed that the attacks-on-refugees time series is strongly correlated to the anti-refugee-posts time series. This part is very basic and is OK.

Then they tried to exhibit a causal relationship between the two series, and it is the trend of posts that drives the trend of attacks but not the other way around. This is where I have doubts. Apparently, the authors didn't try something basic first --- like a Granger causality test --- but applied a somewhat obscure regression procedure to establish causality.

This procedure, which they called a Bartik-type approach, was invented only in 1991. Now I'm not familiar enough with time series analysis to know the merits of this Bartik-type approach and why Granger test is not useful in this case, but from the graph in the Economist article, it seems that the trend of attacks is leading the trend of posts, so I wonder if they were deliberately omitting a Granger causality test that might refute their conclusions.

It’s a bit unfortunate that Elm will always be left out of lists like this.

Yes it’s a different language that compiles to JavaScript, but unlike other languages that do this, Elm exists solely to excel at front-end web development.

Ironically, that Redux and React equivalents are some of the “batteries included” in Elm can make it harder to pitch because at first it seems like you’d have to add that stuff in.

I have always been interested in OCaml, but I have a genuine question though - last when I looked at seriously at it, the standard library seemed to be a bit of a mess lacking a lot of features. A lot of modern resources seemed to focus on using Jane Street's Core(?) which I would not like to use - I'd rather depend on the standard language for standard features. Is this still a thing, or am I mistaken, or both? Please help! I really would like to use OCaml for a variety of hobby projects, including toy compilers. Which books/resources would you recommend?

It must depend on what you're building with it. I haven't seen any reason why it couldn't be used for serving up data for an api.

But as far as using it as a full featured web framework, a la Rails, Django or even Laravel, I can see why people say it's got a long way to go.

That said, I haven't built anything production or large scale in Rust, so I can't claim to be an expert.
Why anyone would name anything "clippy" again is beyond me.
The closing keynote at RustConf is generally someone who is new to Rust or has never used Rust but can bring in an interesting perspective.

Why the aggro? He's just expressing his point of view.
I get the impression Go runs the microservice space. It's built for it and is incredibly fast despite the GC. I don't see Rust claiming that position anytime soon.

My partner and I both got a Kobo, we're very happy with it. We use Calibre to manage our collection. Haven't tried DeDRM yet though. I got the Kobo Aura ONE, and she's got the Kobo Aura H2O. I actually prefer the 6.8" yes it is smaller but it lays better in the hand and is easier to take with you (fits better in the pocket). Its also about 50 EUR cheaper.

Some disadvantages: macOS doesn't have always recognise the device, it has 2.4 GHz WiFi only (put if off to save your battery). The Kobo's also have that screen refresh feature btw you can reduce its effectiveness if you're reading a lot.

Immediately after you bought it, check out the coating of the screen very carefully. I send one ONE back because it had a minor damage to the coating which caused bleeding. I found that distracting, YMMV. The 2 devices got it as well, but less severe and it depends on how you hold the device whether you notice it.
