I don't think that's correct. The real key to its performance seems to be the usage of distributed lattices as data structures, and the ability to perform compile-time checks that guarantee the data will be eventually consistent, both of which allow code to be completely lock-free. This comes from the CALM paper cited in the article - lots of reading to do!

Ok, the article I linked was model specific to the model S and is four months newer. I retract the "simply false", it is complexly somewhat false maybe. Sigh. For instance from the same issue as your post we have "Tesla Model S Owners Report Improved Reliability" [1]

I guess the crystal ball has not settled yet and we may have to wait a while to find out what CU really thinks. I suspect the model X which has had some problems is weighing down the brand average. I also recall that for a while CU was not recommending Teslas due to reliability, but later restored the rating citing improved reliability.

Startup Sanity: Investor priorities are not (necessarily) aligned with founders
You're probably correct in your analysis, but in general I'm very wary of people who use self-help readings or techniques to analyze what everyone around them should be doing differently. I often run into people who seem to use these kinds of things as excuses to blame others and not take reasonable action on their own.
But there's been progress. The sun's been doing fusion for a while, we made fusion bombs in the 50s, the JET torus near Oxford produced fusion output at 16 MW from an input of 24 MW of heating in 1997, and one of the MIT's proposed designs is projected to produce 200MW net power output if built. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkpqA8yG9T4&feature=youtu.be...)

So it's coming along even if commercial viability may still be a while off.
Most of these problems arise from bad engineering cultures though, not the language itself.

FWIW, I'm pretty sure the market segment of tunnelbear users were people dodging network restrictions, not people who valued privacy much.

This is a silly comment, to distinguish between the "design" (by which I assume you mean what it looks like) and the "internals" (how it works). In any practical sense, a phone with new internals is a new phone.

I wish I had your optimism. Rule of thumb is that all informal agreements go out the window after an acquisition. Why would the board of McAfee care about a policy they didn't approve and aren't legally bound to?
There are plenty of free libraries that allow you to detect and compare strings with confusables
Sure, you can do this, but don't. Approximately the last thing you want is a copy constructor that can fail.

If you have to do an OS call to duplicate the underlying resource, assume the class isn't copyable in this way. It's almost certainly possible to make it moveable, and this will get you the bulk of the benefit: you can return it from functions, and you have a std::vector of it.

(Also worth noting that close (2), which presumably you'd call from the destructor, can fail with EIO or EINTR. I don't consider looping on EINTR ever safe, but that's up to you. EIO, on the other hand - what are you going to do about that? And if you don't call close from the destructor, what the hell use is this class anyway?? Overall, I don't think value objects make very good wrappers for a POSIX-style file descriptor.)
They don't complain, they just insert ads and gain money from your recording.

I dont see the logic behind this, any one could explain?

P.S Is anyone still using McAfee ? It seems Symantec has taken up most of the enterprise sales, while consumer are happy with Windows default protection.
Which is why those languages should be used for microservices, not Rust. The majority of web apps and microservice projects don't need the fine grain control of Rust. Rust is for replacing C and C++, would you write your microservice in C or C++? The way Mozilla or the Redox project is using Rust is a great example of where Rust should be used. In kernels, parsers, JITS and other low level libraries. I'm not saying you can't write a microservice in Rust but your going to be much more productive using a language like go, node, python, java, etc.

You’re not alone in thinking this was advice for managers, many people have said this. But the word manager doesn’t appear in the piece a single time, and I think it’s great advice for individual contributors, so I hope no one editorializes the title this way!

It’s not like only managers can propose slight shifts (desired by the existing team, explicitly in this construction) in process. Unless you’ve got a real jerk of a manager or aren’t doing your base line job well yet, such suggestions, if broached carefully, ought to be welcome.
If the best example is interfaces, why not just add interfaces, instead of having every library contain its own slightly incompatible implementation of them?

>So I suppose in your mind that whatever a company wants to do is fine, and that's your prerogative.

Non sequitur and a red herring.

>To believe otherwise is to believe that a person does not have personal agency, and that a person is not in charge of themselves.

Non sequitur. Someone owning data about you has nothing to do with denying someone's "personal agency". Quite the opposite. I would suggest someone recording the actions you make is a testament to the principle of personal agency. You can own yourself and your choices all day long, but you don't control the consequences of those actions. Furthermore, if you're saying someone cannot record things that they observe, you are denying them their personal agency. (As an aside, I find your appeal to "personal agency" curious given your previous assertion that people are irrational, implying the foolishness of such a principle).

>But in the real world, that's simply not true. And in the real world

In the real world there are a myriad of legal jurisdictions, with a myriad of laws whose principles and motives often are contradictory. I am not arguing from the perspective of the status quo. Individuals can also demonstrate cognitive dissonance.

Please answer the following questions:

1) If I observe you walking down the street and I see you wearing a pair of Adidas athletic shoes, and I make a mental note to myself "s73v3r_ wears Adidas athletic shoes", do you own my thought?

1a) If yes to #1 how do you justify owning a stranger's thoughts?

2) If I write down the thought in my notepad, do you own the entry in my notepad?

2a) If yes to #2 how do you justify owning an entry in a stranger's notepad who expended their labor creating?

If you answered no to #1 and yes to #2 then you have a contradiction you need to account for (data is data whether it is in memory or persisted). If you answered no to #1 and no to #2 then you have established the principle that you do not own data about you. If you answered yes to #1 and yes to #2 then it would be good for you to at least be explicit so those who are following the argument understand your premise.

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2018/p093... says "C++ is complicated, too complicated, yet we cannot remove significant facilities and changing them is

[Winter,2016]) and the potential gains would be insignificant. However, we badly need to simplify use of
C++" in its long-term goals. However, almost every short- and medium-term change planned runs counter to that long-term goal. How are we supposed to reach a long-term goal if every step taken along the way is in the opposite direction?

From what I could tell, its tikv is virtually useless without the rest of the tidb (the MySQL layer that sits on top written in go) to be useful.

TiKV has no replication / sharding built in, that is actually handled by a Placement Driver (PD)

Real rubies I awesome. I picked up 50 of them that are 1cm in size to replace the plastic ones that come in my board games. The weight of them in my hand is unexpected. The upside had to be when I brought them to work and got to pore a pile of real rubies into someones hands. Only "downside" is that even though they are really hard, they can scratch each other. But eh they are cheap enough that I just tossed them in a velvet bag and in the board game box.

Exactly, you have only performed Cage's work if you set out with the intent to play Cage's work. This obviously makes it impossible to determine if a particular performance of silence is a performance of Cage's work without reading someone's mind, but that same issue of determining intent comes up a lot in legal matters.

Incredible-- I spent a solid 4 hours yesterday looking for a simple drop-in animation solution for my app and somehow missed this.

From the documentation, react-transition-group and react-motion seem quite un-intuitive and intimidating to an inexperienced dev like myself. My code looks clean, minimal and beautiful with pure react + styled-components and it looks like this will keep it that way.

This is so incredibly badass. I mean, just imagine that the only practicable place to get this new, incredibly strong material, was from space.

On the topic of found vs made materials: I’ve read that shipwrecks are getting mined as a source of steel because it’s more or less impossible to make new steel that isn’t contaminated by trace amounts of radiation from 20th century nuclear testing. While not a problem for skyscrapers, certain lab equipment requires the relatively more rare variety of found steel.

General expectation for Senior engineers in the orgs I've been a part of is that they are great problem finders, as well as problem solvers and implementers. If you have a significant backlog of useful improvements that are relatively straightforward to implement, then it's likely better to bring on a few junior engineers to tackle those rather than Seniors. If you're looking to turn the large backlog into a small backlog thanks to innovative solutions or break into new areas, Seniors tend to handle it better.

The red flag in the ramp up curve is really for Senior engineers. If I didn't have a solid understanding and demonstrated ownership of my problem domain within six months along with meaningful projects getting pushed through - my manager would likely be starting an awkward conversation with me.

Your Online Choices
That's a really good question... I think the answer is something like this (just spitballing here, not trying to make a strong claim):

At some point in a system, you may need a response to one request in order to generate the next request. At this point latency affects throughput.

Also, apparently, their "lattice composition" technique let's them push concurrency to a lower level, which would allow them to avoid the overhead of doing concurrency at a higher level. What I mean is, if you have to process items one-at-a-time in a replica, then to process more items at a time, you need more replicas. But each replica has overhead -- the details depend on what technology we're talking about, but there's overhead to each replica... e.g., to utilize 4 cores on your server you might host four replicas on that server... but now you have to maintain four memory spaces as well, which takes cycles, even though all you wanted was to make use of all your cores to process items. And it might not be four cores, but 18 or 36 or perhaps 1000s. At some point, the cost of the overhead is greater than amount of benefit.

I agree. However, I stumbled into the world of KV stores (like RocksDB, LMDB, LevelDB, etc..) last year, and what is most surprising is that they all stop in the same place. I understand that they should do one thing and one thing well, but it is still disappointing when you have to implement things like replication, sharding, and indexing yourself.

There really aren't even that many DBMS that are KV (like redis) out there to handle it either. They are normally much more complicated (like adding SQL layer on top of it).

So, either:
1) that's a real CAPTCHA which Google is serving up, in which case that's outrageous, or
2) that's not a real CAPTCHA which Google served up, in which case using it as the visual for this article is itself pretty outrageous. I have plenty of reservations about Google's power, but putting that visual on your blog article if it's not a real CAPTCHA Google used, is different from lying to your audience in only a technical sense. It's clearly intended to stoke outrage, and outrage is not a state which results in careful reading of the article. The author must have (or at least should have) known that putting that visual on their blog post would result in many people thinking that Google served up such a visual.

Kelly criterion never claimed to prevent bankruptcy. It only tells you how to bet to achieve the maximum theoretical return possible given a set of odds and payouts.

I say theoretical because unless you're in a casino, you don't know the actual odds and edge you are playing with (because they move) which makes your Kelly ideal bet size a guess rather than a fixed number.

Being faster (in throughput) than Redis doesn't seem that difficult, Redis is mostly single core. But with that restriction comes the magical constraint that you can run Lua on that single core without having to think about race conditions or concurrency. For many complicated systems this is an incredible property and can provide incredible power. Yes, you may eventually outgrow Redis, but if you do then you are entering pretty crazy territory where you will likely need something custom anyways.

All that to say, that particular comparison feels a bit Apples and Oranges to me.
