Very Naive Questions.

There are now fibre that has hollow core instead of light travelling through glass. Assuming we could do that in long distance, that is close to 0.98c, we should have +40% latency improvement right?

i.e Someday if we needed more capacity and this tech is available, we could lay this new fibre along side the same router as the current fibre. And enjoy some improved latency?

How much latency does each network hoop adds? 0.05ms?

How much latency does our own machine add? Are the 70ms actually all spent within the Network? Or would there be 0.5ms just coming from the Ethernet Controller, buffer or what ever?
There are no longer any HTML, CSS, JS jobs posting without the fact of needing to know one or multiple JS frameworks.

Edited it a few times, the original version was:

8 hours work + 2x 1h commute + off clock (30 minutes lunch + 2 x 15 minute breaks) = 55 hour week.

5 minute commute + 54 hour/week including lunch = 55 hour week.

But, that seemed a little contrived. I think you saw a poor edit.

I am not a lawyer, but I think you are the missing point of Decision about the usage of the emblem, name and the flag of the City of Sarajevo.
Article 7 states that "... legal persons may be granted to use the name Sarajevo in a business (company) name or product name, provided their business activity doesn't harm and helps affirm its reputation."
You using the name Sarajevo in a blog post or its title clearly doesn't violate this rule.
That said, it's beyond me why someone from the city government would decide to enforce this rule on a FB page, unless it's being heavily monetized.
This is true.

However there is no logical argument that can disprove the constructivist view, in which there aren't "more" irrationals than rationals. And therefore the logical argument that there is must have some hidden implicit assumptions.
The excess males are going to be treated poorly regardless of the opinion of the outside, which should have a problem with the behavior, especially because the males are usually jettisoned as an externality like CO2 exhaust.

I'm a meat eater but in my experience vegetarian or vegan good that merely tries to imitate meat dishes always sucks, but cuisine built around the ingredients available can be amazing. For example, i think south Indian vegetarian food is good enough that if I had it every day I wouldn't mind not eating meat.

If you use enough "umami bombs" in cooking then you can make very savory veg* dishes. My faves are soy sauce and yeast extract and I'm also not above using MSG.

Tbh I think meat is an addiction. Even if veg meals satisfy me and meet my caloric needs I still crave it!

It also has the line "by sending a code by text message to your phone, for example, which only you would have access to." when talking about what 2FA is. It's true that that's used in practice, but it's utterly false that "only you would have access" to text messages sent to your phone number. Or that a text sent to your phone number must go to your phone (SS7 vulnerabilities, porting attacks, etc.) There are many good reasons NIST recommends not using SMS for authentication.
That is certainly an... interesting way of reckoning the amount of life saved.
The kernel faulting is effectively burning down. In modern systems there is the concept of "isolation", if you give bad input to one program (e.g. the shell) the kernel shouldn't fault (taking down unrelated programs with it).

This was my undergraduate thesis. In short, apart from the long sections where I explain the state of online ad-blocker detection, I built a prototype that can avoid ad-blocker detectors by temporally unhiding the advertisments when a script from the website queries the DOM for information about them. Basically, you can also look at it as having a "user DOM" that has the advertisments hidden and a "website scripts DOM" that has the advertisments visible. I did this by doing script rewriting through a MITM proxy and JavaScript function overwriting (hooray prototypes!).

There are some rough edges to this work: Both in form (English is not my first language, and I was working full time while developing it so it is nowhere as polished as it should be) and in content (the 'undetectable' ad-blocker prototype is very basic, and there are some worrying doubts about real-world feasibility in regards to performance and privacy). I also haven't been able to continue developing this project further because of real life constraints.

Additionally, a [very innovative paper](http://randomwalker.info/publications/ad-blocking-framework-...) on this area came out while I was working on it, which simultaneously made some of my stuff redundant, but also complimented my work very well.

You can also see my presentation [here](https://bitbucket.org/joanbrugueram/content-filter-policy/do...) for a quick and very rough summary.

6 Mistakes Gamblers Make (infographic)
There are layers of explanations needed. The typical explanation is inertia, but there is the question of what causes inertia and what causes whatever causes inertia and so on. There are always going to be new questions.
I’m a meat-eater but my wife is vegan. We’ve been following Impossible Foods for some time and got to finally try one of their burgers last month.

As a meat eater who is vegan at home, I think it’s a decent alternative compared to other vegetarian meat-like products, in fact far superior. But it’s definitely not a replacement for the real thing.

I have been pretty impressed with the steady innovation in vegetarian / vegan options that give me as good alternatives compared to non. For example, Miyokos cheese is incredible, and far better than any cheese I used to typically eat, and it’s dairy free.

I used to eat Boca burgers when I’ve had to and they aren’t great. I’m excited for better options to come into the market.
I don't see anything in the link that seems to imply that they think Redox OS is going to be crash free? In fact this seems to be the opposite, it looks to me like they're looking for bugs to squash.
I gave up on Polymer. I can't really explain it well but nothing worked as you expected it to. v2 was just hacked v1 (hybrid?) and so trying to actually figure out how to use v2 was impossible since every major custom element was hybrid. The documentation was bad, and the things you might want to use were somewhat depreciated, but you had to figure that out on your own. Then the standard glacial pace of development means that v3 was announced over half a year ago and as far as I can see, nothing has happened.
I don't understand why the state isn't setting this up themselves. If they want people to pay their tax they should make it easy by creating a Web API that computes the tax rate for (zip code, product category, amount)

> Yes. Sometimes up to 500x faster. It's not the index which is important but the table itself. PostgreSQL tables are heap tables. The index might be ordered by month but the rows it referrs to can be spread throught the entire large table.

That makes sense.

> There are realistic scenarios where each row can end up costing you an 8kb page fetch, reducing query speed by ~250x for narrow tables as you're bound by memory bandwidth, or worse, disk bandwidth.

I've actually had a similar scenario. CLUSTERing by the index solved that. But of course running CLUSTER on a huge table is very slow. If you can partition the data so you only have to cluster one of the partitions, that's a huge win.

> There's also an additional performance benefit in being able to skip the index scan when querying by month, and just sequentially scanning the entire partition which is usually 2-3x faster to access the same amount of data.

Didn't think of that.

Thanks for the clarifications.

Curious: what will happen when it's not economic to mine Ether anymore? Especially if it happens suddenly (e.g. after a crash or a switch to proof-of-stake).

Won't the opposite situation suddenly appear, where second hand GTX1070's and GTX1080's suddenly flood the market and sell for $100?

Or will miners just switch their rigs to whatever coin is possible to mine with their rigs, instead of selling off their rigs?
Bear in mind, our government's division of powers and default state-level sovereignty produce a lot of gridlock by design, not by accident. Partisanship magnifies that.

> if you exercise your right to accept MDM on a personal device, you've made a wrong decision.

Only if I share your exact same values. You cannot tell me my decision is "wrong" when I know the consequences but decide that I'm comfortable with the risks.

Your response, and the original article, are incredibly patronizing.

> Yes, you should never check anything personal at work.

That's your view. Stop applying your personal views to my own.

Yes I know my employer can store my information and read my communications, but personally I don't care at all that my employer could read my texts with my girlfriend.

> Only if you use your work email & browser for personal purposes.

I work at Google. Of course I don't use my work account or browser profile for personal purposes, but at the end of the day my employer hosts my personal email and makes my personal browser. Given the vast amount of personal data which we have, I think trying to use technical measures to limit my exposure is foolhardy: my faith in privacy lies with the policies and actions of my fellow employees. If that faith ever falters, I have far bigger problems than the occasional Facebook message sent at work.

There is (most likely) no perfect isolation.

If given no alternatives, a kernel should burn down rather than permitting a privilege escalation. Ideally there is no privilege escalation either.

Given bad input the kernel should not fault but sometimes it must.
Wicked Problems
This is an opinion, so don't take it as fact, but JS frameworks are a mistake. It's better to take the Unix philosophy and build things up from single components that do their one job well, and focus on standards. So an example would be to use Web Components rather than React. React is amazing but it has a limited lifespan (though that lifespan could be long), whereas Web Components, while not as feature rich, are a web standard. The gaps between React and Web Components can be filled in by various libraries, such as Lit HTML. For state management you could just use plain javascript or dip into a particular library like Redux or MobX if your needs get complex.

In any case, once something no longer fits your needs, you can change it out with something else, which is difficult if you use something like Angular or React or Vue.

It may/may not be relevant, I’m vegetarian.
I've been told so by some back professionals. I don't think it's that one form of sitting is better than another, everything else being equal. It's more about the neck alignment to the direction of your hips, which couches are notoriously bad about.

It probably makes the difference that you have a swing arm, and aren't looking at a machine on your knees.
Even your moved goal posts still try to connect one small company's policies to the industry as a whole. Maybe it's worth emphasizing _your_ unstated assumption that the only reason a company would want 50:50 is to satisfy some external ideological motive rather than careful analysis of what makes for a good team.
I'm still using Jquery and some of the millions js libraries available only when you do not bind yourself to a SPA framework taking control of the DOM. And it work pretty well I must say!

My opinion is that for 80% of the websites out there, a SPA framework is not only overkill, but is also a bad choice. Your website is probably not Gmail or Facebook. Server side rendering is perfectly fine.

We should start a competition where any framework/no-framework could be used to develop a project and judge the winners using metrics such as : time it took to develop it, compatibility, accessibility, fun to interact with.
There was a recent Indie Hackers podcast with one of the WorkFlowy founders (https://www.indiehackers.com/podcast/037-jesse-patel-of-work...) where he admits marketing/user acquisition is most definitely one of his growth areas - quite a good listen.
Well, it depends. Scrambling the production might be worth it if it doubles the margin. Without knowing the price they're quoting for the "emergency order" it's hard to judge what the business case is.

I am a bit concerned about scrambling workers and production lines in heavy industry, though. Makes me question the safety of pushing tired workers to work faster/longer hours...
10!=01 and 09!=90

The endian-ness is only the in-memory layout of the bits and has nothing to do with how VALUES are treated. 1+9=10, regardless of how those values are stored, similarly 1<<9=512, regardless of how the CPU internally arranges those bits. The same holds true for inverting the value, the internal arrangement of the bits is irrelevant.

Really you only care about endianness when you fail to treat numbers as numbers, for example by treating them as bytes.

I'm not even scared off, but I won't use Emacs because it doesn't have tabs. I know about the alternatives presented, but I just want tabs. I find it funny that the kitchen sink "Eight Megabytes and Constantly Swapping" Emacs doesn't have a built in tab implementation while the supposedly small Vim has one :)
Yes, it's a lot. But imagine the opposite. Imagine nothing new came out, and everything just stagnated. Evolution, experimentation, testing things out, this is a good thing.
It is speculation, but it's not uncommon. I remember about, oh 10 years ago or so, someone attacked an epilepsy forum with a flashing image - the forum had images set to display inline and voila - headaches, and various other ailments beset the community. I don't think there were any seizures proper, per se, from that episode.

This is an abuse of machine learning. Amy algorithm can be tweaked to achieve the intended result, even if you limit the dataset to buildings before the Eiffel tower had lights. It always comes back to a human.
I agree with all of these. I think the biggest worry is that graphics cards manufacturers will be, justifiably, very reluctant to ramp up production due to the how volatile the crypto currency ecosystem is. If they first ramped up production to meet increased demand, your scenario 1 (crypto market crashes) would hit them double hard since not only will they not be able to sell lots of cards to miners, but the miners will be selling their used cards for cut-rate prices.

It doesn't have to crash. It just has to be uneconomic to mine on GPU's. For example by becoming too hard, or by switching to proof-of-stake. The question is rather whether there is another coin that will take over the workload of the rigs (I know too little about cryptocurrencies to know whether another coin will have the same properties as ether, i.e. be economic to mine on GPUs).
