As the author of the post, just wanted to reply and say I'm totally open to the notion that the solutions I proposed will not solve the problem. I'm much more sure about the problem than I am about the solution.

A google maps zoom system for code sounds awesome, although I have no idea how that might work.
Think 'Birdbrain' is an insult? Think again
The whole premise is nonsensical, imo. It is like saying you can predict stock market crashes based on how many people are long/short VIX.
Is the temperature of the blanket or sheet, under which I'd be sweating profusely for 8 hours, meaningfully less than the temperature of my bare flesh without the covering?

My metabolism is still producing the same amount of heat energy, and my radiant surface area doesn't increase much. If anything, the efficiency of convective and evaporative cooling drops significantly when I cover myself, so you'd think that the blanket would give off a stronger heat signature.

Thoughts?

I have not had a problem with cold starts with diesels in the decade I've been driving them. I did have a VW Golf with a PD engine but now have a VW with a Common Rail engine. In both cases I prefer them to petrol cars because:

a. the torque is great - not slow to accelerate at all. Try one! The PD engine had great low-end torque but the common rail has great torque for the entire power band, which is extensive. Really rapid. Perhaps you were driving an ancient SD-engined vehicle without a turbo??

b. Driving is so smooth; petrol is quicker to respond which is less forgiving.

Also, as the engine components are larger and slower moving, they last far longer; my work colleague's 2005 5-series BMW is nearing 250,000 miles and is still supremely fast. (Contrast with a bike engine that goes for 40k or 50k due to high revs?)

My 2008 Golf did get smokey but the guy I sold it to has been using the BP cleaning diesel (or the Shell equivalent) and says it doesn't smoke at all any more.

I like the sound of them; the non-sporty petrol cars round by me sound like the engine is rattling to pieces (eg my colleague's Vauxhall Astra); with high-performance tuned sports cars then yes the petrol sounds great. I rarely see any V-configuration engines these days.

This perspective is from myself in the UK.
I am so confused by government policy here in the UK. Right now I'm looking at a 5 year old used Diesel car with £0 road tax and 70+ MPG for about 10k GBP.

My current Petrol engine costs £130/annum road tax, and only gets 30-40 MPG, I can also buy petrol cars with road tax of £240-500/annum (based on emissions)

But if I buy the Diesel, it could be banned or worthless in a few years, because of these types of policies. So what is the government telling me to purchase?

I can't buy an electric car because I only have on street parking so there's nowhere to charge it, and decent electric cars aren't really available at the 10k mark yet.
Yes, and I will add the more cumulative result is more one of being judged, unincluded, and isolated, not one of acknowledgement that the communication was impaired. When I have a conversation or a job interview and someone asks me how it went, I never can say. I can speak to practical and obvious fumbles or difficult questions to which I am proud of having known the answer but this seems to not be what is means when I am asked how it went. I literally have no idea how it went and saying I did would be just as well done with a roll of dice. For most of my life, I thought I knew, but I was just working from what I had. Without very explicit novelty displays of preference or emotion, I would just assume things are fine. This is a very bad road to travel.

Buses, HGV's and all other large vehicles actually tend to run okay on diesel, because they are large and expensive enough to carry and pay for the necessary equipment to reduce NOx and PM. It's small cars in particular where diesel just doesn't work.

Strictly speaking, the EU's Court of Justice was just applying the EU Data Protection Directive's rule that organizations mustn't process more personal data than necessary, for longer than is necessary. That's a freestanding obligation that exists regardless of whether someone makes a request or not. It just so happens that in practice courts/regulators tend to view act/enforce it when someone has had to remind a company that they're failing to comply with that obligation, and the company hasn't complied. Hence it looks like something that companies only need to act on if they receive a request. Practically, if you're a search engine, that's the only pragmatic outcome anyway - how are you supposed to know, for each and every entry in your database, whether or not they satisfy the criteria for them to be "forgotten"? Better to have people flag potentially problematic ones, for you to then evaluate.

If anyone is interested in arguments about winding back the clock and replaying evolution, I highly recommended Stephen Jay Gould's "Wonderful Life."
Hi kazinator, thanks for your comment (I'm the post's author). When I originally wrote the post, I actually had a whole section about "reading for questions", which discussed how the best way to read without modifying a program is to read to answer focused questions you have about the codebase. It kind of got lost when I shifted focus to active interaction versus passive exploration, but I agree that reading with questions in mind is far superior to just reading the code to understand it generally.

I think there is a difference between allegations and judgements. Judgements are ultimately a public record in the United States.

Stuff like credit records are different, but even then I think transparency goes a long way. Asking Google to forget your unpaid rent has some meaning, but it also doesn't meaningfully address the issue -- private entities will privately keep track of check and credit issues.

IMO, once you do something, the genie is out of the bottle in terms of the hit to your reputation. Obscuring it isn't necessarily helpful. Perhaps the real solution is figuring out how to stop applying harsh moral judgements for mistakes. If you bounced a check or were involved in a crime in 2001, and we're in 2018 and you don't have a pattern of misbehavior, someone should either not consider that long ago action or have to positively explain why that event was a factor in a decision process.
What parts of Heroku in particular are you interested in seeing in an alternative? If a friendly user interface is a big part of the ask, your options are unfortunately limited (at least among the big cloud providers, I'm unfamiliar with smaller providers).

AWS's Elastic Beanstalk doesn't have any UX to speak of (just a few options to fiddle and some weak logging support). It's a very raw service, much like the rest of AWS (rock-solid infrastructure to bring-your-own stuff). They take care of infrastructure but developer pleasantries are entirely up to you.

App Engine is significantly better on the UX front - you get error reporting, metrics, logging, etc all in a single cohesive web app. In my experience I hit some hard to debug / resolve quirks, but that is very much a ymmv situation. It can be tricky to figure out how to configure the right pieces / permissions in their new app engine variant (docker-based). I wouldn't use the classic variant at this point, it's pretty heavy on the vendor lock-in front. It's great if you need the specific capability of classic app engine but that's most likely not what you need.

If you're using Heroku's hosted postgres, know that GCloud's postgres support is still "beta". AWS RDS on the other hand has very good postgres support.

In both cases, deploys aren't just a git push, but use a custom CLI (`eb deploy` and `gcloud something something`). They're also both pretty typically tough to get to the first successful deploy with - for example Elastic Beanstalk will spend quite a while attempting to recover from deployment errors, and if you've never deployed a successful version it's very bad at that, and it also blocks deployments while it attempts to recover. So you end up stuck while it attempts to recover from a problem it will never recover from for a bit (this has been a problem for literally every beanstalk service I've ever deployed, heh).

You can also go something like the hosted Kubernetes route. Currently GCloud is king here, but naturally that's a command-line only UX unless you deploy your own kubernetes UI service (unfamiliar with options there)

Unfamiliar with Azure's offerings.
It's notable how large the crystals are.

Quartz crystals work pretty much independent of size. Since it's a hard-to-obtain raw ingredient, and requires quite a lot of preprocessing before it's useful, I'm surprised that the final crystal size used in the radios isn't 1mmx1mmx0.5mm or smaller, even with 1940's technology.

That story doesn't prove that they are not going dark. There will always be dumb criminals who leave the trail. But the smart ones are not getting caught, because their opsec is stellar. If you're using VPN/TOR, encrypted documents, disposable email addresses, it will be close to impossible even for the FBI to collect any data required for a successful prosecution.

Americans are getting screwed some many ways that it is hard to even keep count! We have high taxes, high inflation, and low interest rates on non speculative assets. It's the absolute worst of all worlds.

As far as predicting the mess in 2008, I had an account with NetBank which was the very first domino to fall. So that was my heads up. I moved a ton of money into Money Market funds. Then MM funds almost broke the dollar and would have it not been for TARP or whatever bailouts took place there. We were probably only hours away from total collapse at one point.

The problem is that since that shock, our system hasn't ever really recovered. We never prosecuted enough bad actors, never wound down all the insolvent companies, never owned up to the mistakes. Thus, it's going to happen again and be worse.

But spare me the "We're great in the Netherlands thanks to our socialist pension system." Pensions in the US are nearly universally under-funded and I don't even want to imagine how high your taxes must be in the Netherlands to avoid insolvency.

It'd also practically stop economic growth of areas outside large cities and slow down economic growth of the city itself. Many businesses would be ruined (and thus people working on them). Many people would loose their jobs.

This is a very backwards approach. Why don't we destroy our cities that have replaced the beautiful nature that used to be there instead of them?
Maybe if you use your phone for shiny things this might work. I use my phone for information. The only thing that'll make me use my phone less is if my phone couldn't multitask and crashed constantly. But then I'd just use my laptop instead.

Azure app service, deploy to it with MSBuild (which we fire off from teamcity, which git clones, runs build scripts, then deploys with msbuild). App services have a 'staging' deployment slot, so you can deploy to the staging slot, test it, then swap the slots and you are live.

App Services are cheap and easy to manage, if you write efficient code they have plenty of horsepower for medium sized websites.
And the German economy would crash, but never mind that. Before you ban all petrol cars you will first need something that can replace them because not everybody is in a position to use public transport both due to capacity, speed and door-to-door elements.

Cars are a net negative for societies (see e.g. https://tu-dresden.de/bu/verkehr/ivs/voeko/ressourcen/dateie...). Just imagine having most (80%+) of goods transported by cargo bike: lots of (local!) employment, lots of new technology needed, etc.

I stopped at "fetishization." The BOR is the last thing Americans have standing between us and technocratic tyranny and we're losing badly even then.

ETA: It makes me so sad to read that anyone would support the repeal of the 2nd Amendment. I think maybe you haven't researched the subject enough and are using emotional reasoning to guide your thinking versus taking a really hard look at history, not just American, but WORLD history and realize that governments can't be trusted and that they are merely the monopoly of force that eventually seeks to overwhelm all reasonable restrictions on them by their very nature. Government is our monster, but when it gets out of control that monster kills millions in a single bite.

I thin 240/annum is small compared to the devaluation that diesel cars will go through. The air quality in London is awful (I went there for 2 days and couldn't stand it), so laws will change there as well.

Netvi, an April fool joke from Snort Team (2014)
The article clearly admits that the LLVM compiler uses heuristics. You even quoted that part of the article.

>WebAssembly is designed to perform well without relying on heuristic-based optimizations, avoiding the performance cliffs that come if code doesn’t meet those heuristics. It is expected that the compiler emitting the WebAssembly (in this case rustc and LLVM) already has sophisticated optimization infrastructure, that the engine is receiving WebAssembly code that has already had optimization passes applied, and that the WebAssembly is close to its final form.

But really the point of the article is the last part.

>that the engine is receiving WebAssembly code that has already had optimization passes applied, and that the WebAssembly is close to its final form.

The compiler applies heuristics once during the compilation step and then never again. Compare this to JITs which are constantly changing and can pull the rug from under you.

>Maybe it would also surprise the author to learn that their are JITs that beat the pants off LLVM AOT for dynamic languages like javascript (they just don't happen to be integrated into web browsers).

Yes but it gets even better! If you limit yourself to a formalised subset of javascript called asm.js which gives you fine control over memory layout and allocation you can reach even the performance of C! Have you heard of it's successor? I think it's name was Web Assembly and every major browser has integrated it. It's a really cool technology that shows how sandboxed JITs can have the same performance characteristics as AOT compilers.

In making a selection like this you need to separate the deploy UX (git push heroku master) from the underlying service.

Things like dokku, etc are great at providing the UX and generally really solid.

However, much of the benefit of Heroku is that they handle some/much of the underlying sysadmin tasks you'd otherwise need to worry about. It's easy to discount that as it's mostly invisible until there's a serious problem.

A middle ground between putting dokku onto a VPS is perhaps Amazon's Elastic Beanstalk service combined with Amazon RDS which provides you a big chunk of the functionality (albeit in a less slick wrapper).

It is not, and is not in other parts of Europe.

The only fuel in Europe that you could class as 'subsidized' is so called 'red' diesel that is used in agriculture. You could run that in your regular diesel engine and it will work just fine but the coloring will stain the fuel delivery system and the tank in such a way that even many runs of regular fuel later it is detectable and this will get you a very heavy fine.
