What an idiotic argument. Has he never heard of virtual memory? You might want to memory map things that aren't necessarily on a die inside your computer, in fact that's already a very common pattern, with mmap(2) and similar system calls.

And the idea can be extended to large computer clusters if not the entire planet, in which case you might be looking at 128 or 256 or a non-power-of-two figure, IPv6 addresses already taking up 128 bits. In which case it would probably also be a good idea to think about variable length pointers to decrease the overhead and address Donald Knuth's complaints in his "Flame About 64 bit Pointers" [1]

> Denaturing a protein generally requires a lot more .. than 100C

Nope. Protein generally denatures at lower than 100C / boiling point.

That's the principle of Sous Vide, not that you should use Sous Vide to sterilise anything, but the protein in egg white denatures at 60-80C.

http://www.scienceofcooking.com/eggs/eggs_sous_vide.htm

And in meat it's similar, 50-70C http://www.mpip-mainz.mpg.de/Sous_vide_cooking

If you doubt it, stick your hand in water at 80C and see what happens.

You can achieve a WHO approved method with a coke bottle and sunlight. Put water in a PET bottle, then leave it in the sun for 6 hours. It is now safe to drink. If it's overcast or the water is murky, you need 2 days.

As a bonus, coke bottles (or any fizzy drink bottle) are ideal as a water container for hiking; lightweight, capable of holding pressure (so they can withstand being squashed in a pack), and surprisingly resilient when falling from a height (compared to purchased bottles). And they cost nothing.

Interesting article. I mostly agree.

OP, could I ask a question?

You mention 1TB files. Why do you guys at embl not use a database for this sort of stuff? I'd figure that with some proper indexing, I figure you could see pretty decent speedups just from that already.

> I'm sorry if it seems like I'm being pedantic about this point but it's a huge issue of contention for those of us who used C++ to squeeze every ounce of performance out of a platform.

You're being pedantic about something I'm not saying.

I 100% agree with what you're saying in that comment, but that isn't what this thread is about. It has now become clear that your "big gripe" with exceptions is not the inability to throw them out of destructors (which is what causes the problem with scope(exit)), but all the other problems with them.

As my previous comment said, there's lots of reasons why Rust's approach is better (I'm intimately familiar with Rust, and also work on a large C++ codebase... with exceptions disabled ;) ), but that's not what we're talking about here.

> For those of us who ship codebases with exceptions disabled by default it definitely is a problem

No, you're misreading me again: it isn't a new problem. As in, the problems with current_exception() are just the normal problems with exceptions, they aren't something specific to that function. If exceptions are okay (which they're often not; yes, I know, I get that, but that's not the point here), then using current_exception to return errors from destructors is fine.

My point is Rust and C++ both handle returning errors from destructors equally well/badly. (Your point is you, in general, prefer Rust's error handling to C++ exceptions, which is a different point.)
Yes, this is the library we use.

It's nice, but I'm not sure it's a good idea. I've worked in companies that have had toxic cultures before and bringing young and inexperienced people into that situation was a really bad idea. This is a good idea for a company that doesn't have Uber's problems, but the worry is that you're taking people's first experience in computer science and making it a part of a culture clash. You're likely to re-entrench the existing culture and push these people out of software engineering for good.

Hi. You should also have a look at Helical Insight. It is also an open source BI software. It is worlds first open BI tool with machine learning and NLP, allowing users to type their questions and get immediate business answers. It also has an inbuilt workflow functionality allowing to trigger any of the functional module of BI whenever you want, thus helping you implement any sort of business process.

Also with a completely SOA driven archtiecture, the API allows to add functionalities at any layer (like data connection, charting, exporting, emailing, user role management, caching etc) without depending on the vendor.

Coming from Open source BI background, I would request you to please do download and give it a try.

Entropy is not a problem, surely! The choice to return deterministic values for random() is a feature, not a bug. When you are crawling pages, looking for meaningful content changes and new links you probably don't want your random() creating noise.
Yes, and I've left my keys in the outside of the front door all night, with the keys for both cars attached, probably. Fortunately it's a good neighbourhood...

I'd like houses to have something like central locking, like cars have had for ages. I just don't want it to depend on the Internet, except if I deliberately choose to connect it somehow.

I'd also like to be able to read my gas meter without having to change my clothes afterwards having fought my way through dense vegetation and spiders' webs and knelt down in the mud. But I don't want a "smart" meter connected to the Internet. I just want a local radio link to my own hardware.

Any chance I could have these things without having to build them myself?

The left booster "originally launched on July 18, 2016 in support of the CRS-9 mission, and landed back at LZ-1". The right booster "originally launched on May 27, 2016 in support of the Thaicom 8 mission. Notably, it earned the nickname "Leaning Tower of Thaicom"; having developed a significant lean upon a hard first landing."

My guess: fast fashion came with very cheap prices per item, keeping overall spending stable or rising through increased consumption. Now the novelty of ridiculously short wardrobe replacement intervals is starting to wear off, but the prices are here to stay.

Expect retail area dedicated to cheap (formerly known as fast) fashion to shrink accordingly. Probably not a big loss if the continuous network of direct sightlines between H&M stores is getting a few gaps here and there.

1. No, that function was the bottleneck, by far, and I can tell you that >10,000x was what we got between the initial version and the final one.

2. I don't care about faster at this point. The function is fast enough. Maybe there is some magic incantation of pandas that will be readable and compute the same values, but I will believe it when I see it. What I thought was more idiomatic was much slower.

I think this is more of a case of "the problem does not fit numpy/pandas' structure (because of how the duplicated indices need to be handled), so you end up with ugly code."

This may be a relevant point, especially if the segments experiencing increased basic cost of living costs (rent, healthcare, housing, education..) are the same segments that spent a lot of clothes.

Remember that averages are averages, and increased rent (for example) only affects renters, and affects new contracts faster. Some people experience housing cost inflation more than others, more than average. For an unqualified guess/theory, it's possible that young, single, middle class people renting in large metros (eg NY, London) represent a major segment of the fashion industry. They're facing the full wack of housing cost inflation. Possibly amounts to reduced discretionary spending, which for some people means mostly shoes.

I feel like I must be crazy, but did anyone else notice that the two videos from the pair of boosters seemed like they were cloned from the viewpoint of a single booster?

I don't mean they look similar. I mean they look like they came from the same video feed. When completing the touchdown, they both seem to land at the same pad -- you can see the flame of the other booster and the pad the other booster is landing at in both videos, except they aren't rotated 180 degrees from one-another because the rest of the landscape is identical. Also, watch the moment when the boosters do their initial burn to slow down from freefall. The flames in both videos look virtually identical.

Here's a few samples: https://imgur.com/a/Xpbu8

Did they acknowledge that the videos weren't actually taken from both rockets during the stream and I just missed it? Or is there some other explanation?

That's pure misdirection. If Apple didn't support HTTP iPhones would not be able to use the web at all. If Apple doesn't support VP8 nobody notices a thing.

Of course faster load times are nice, they will come, but whether it's through VP8, HEVC, VP1, or something else will take time to shake out. Meanwhile somebody on HN will moan about Apple's monopolistic user hostile refusal to support every single blasted codec released ever.

Good grief, there are even people who still think Apple should have supported Flash, and therefore presumably still support it because the world today would be so much better if Flash was still widely used, or something.

I both agree and strongly disagree with you on this. Allow me to explain. The way you frame the proposition as a luddite removal of technology based on some superficial desire to live like back in the day, I agree with. It obviously won't solve many of the issues that hunter_gatherers and early agricultural cultures and civilizations had to deal with. That said though, and I didn't rtfa, so I'm just addressing this common retort more generally, it is you who are being logically fallacious pretending that is what people who call for a return to the old ways mean. Essentially you are ad homeniming their position. (Not saying there aren't those who take the position you claim they do, but after talking to many of them I find most are being overly rhetorical and understand the need for a moderate approach).

I grew up in the mountains, around Apache, Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi people, who I have learned a great deal from, and they recognize the vast quality of life improvements modern science, medicine and technology have brough, and embrace it. The fact they understand that though doesn't stop them from admonishing us in how most Americans treat the land and live out of symbiosis. They aren't calling for a naive luddite-esque return to the old ways, they are calling on us to use our technology to augment the benefits the old ways have, and that is a huge distinction.

Of course there are some hippy groups that naively take that position, such as the Rainbows, and then after they've destroyed a section of forest during a party they still put on their suit and tie and drive their BMW back to California or wherever. Nobody from the forest has respect for them because their views are immature and superficial, but it is a large mistake to extrapolate that type of position to all those calling for a review of how we live in relationship to the land. There is a lot of good discussion and knowledge to be had if you can get past that.

I could ramble on with some stories that illustrate what I mean, but let me summarize the position most of the native American culture from my old stomping grounds take: value community, but also value self-sufficiency within that community, because those two things make a person and a people strong and able to weather storms.

Personally, when I think about thinks like space exploration, I think that approach has much wisdom in it, and given my experience of the Internet, I think decentralization is a key strength of that viewpoint as well.

You know, most of them pretty much expect us to destroy ourselves because we don't listen to their wisdom. They say stuff like "We were here before America and unless they change we will be here after America."

This was exactly my point. I remember when the JM encoder was so slow, that it encoded 3 or 4 frames per hour. That's why 100 sec/frame for the reference says nothing about the final performance and putting out articles creating the "general knowledge of what everybody knows" that AV1 is slow is at best disingenuous, at worst malicious.

Is total time really that interesting as a metric? Factor in cost, both in terms of, say, what the employer pays you and what they pay for CPU time, sprinkle it with costs in terms of externalities (e.g. the cost of millions of clients executing poorly performing code vs the cost of millions of clients paying for the additional development overhead of well performing code) and the equation is a lot more complex and application-dependent.

Then weigh in the hard realities of some engineering problems. It won't matter that it takes 1% of the time to implement a video decoder in python if it can't deliver decoded frames in a timely manner. It won't matter that the C solution will run 1000x faster if you need a month to develop what should be delivered on Friday.

I'm sorry if this is already covered in the article. I had a brief look before but it won't currently load.

Sure! There are a few major reasons:

- The built-in concurrency primitives are designed with real time systems in mind, freeing you from the need of constructing a cyclic executive and scheduling manually.

- The tools to deal with time constraints and diagnose why deadlines were not met are very high quality. The Ravenscar profile essentially guarantees that all scheduling decisions are known statically.

- Not strictly real time related, but
since real time systems are often safety priority systems I'll mention it anyway: Ada makes memory management hard to get wrong.

If you're interested, I think Programming Real-time with Ada 2005 over at Embedded.com[1] provides a really good overview. Many of those features are meant for safety critical hard deadline systems and are consequently overkill for bedroom experiments, but for those projects you can just take the default basics and get 98% of the way there.

(If the article seems outdated in some aspects, recall that there were some further imptovements to the standard in 2012.)
