Great read, it is very interesting to see the disconnect of understanding between hardware guys, compiler writers and low level programmers.

ISPC is also pretty great and one of the most pragmatic ways to take advantage of SIMD units.
What sort of things does a typical mail client not allow you to do/tweak that Mutt does?
What I'm saying is that in my opinion, this worry you have is overblown.
As a republican, I fully support the right of California to torch its internet access, just like it has its infrastructure, tax base, and housing policies.

Federalism FTW.
The thing I know to watch out for is the minimum latency of requests. CRDB doesn't work well for workloads which make many DB queries per 'event' (e.g. N+1 queries which can and should be avoided).

Why was it necessary to 'manage multiple writers' in that use case you encountered?
Tut tut, komali2 is performing a valuable service. You're being a boor.

It's foolish to believe anything you read on the internet: it's a tissue of lies and propaganda. Something like 83.2% of everyone you talk to online is actually someone else.

The Rockchip RK3288 SoC used in this particular board is used in some chromebooks and uses ARMv7 on a 32-bit processor which I think may indicate decent kernel support
The thing that gets me most of all with the SBCs is that I need to go out and buy another power supply. I know - they aren't really that expensive, but I just don't want to do it. I already have so many 5V USB power supplies that I don't even know what to do with them all. I doubt I am the only one.

I like that the Pi Zero seems to be perfectly stable with any old phone charger I've used, and they seem to range from 800mA to 1mA. I have a couple iPad chargers that go up to 2.1A, so I'd be really happy if I could find a multicore SBC that was good to go with one of those.
To be honest, if you're judging the quality of Postgres by the design of their web site then, well, maybe you should steer clear of it. The rest of us will be just fine.
Until service providers decide to compete for customers by accepting that they won't get a fresh new rent to extract by ramming zero-rating or bundled internet packages down people's throats. Those providers can eliminate the costs you mention and keep profits steady without raising prices for their customers.

As it should be.
I'm now tired because I played with it instead of going to sleep :(. I must say, it's well-executed and feels lightweight (which is a surprise both considering applications of this kind, and considering applications coming from Google).

I must say I love the attention to details! I was impressed by the effort that seems to have went to design the error detection - I start to mess with an example, and the messages tell me exactly what I'm missing at the right level of abstraction. Like, I forgot to to the next line when drawing blocks, and the popup explains I should use newLine(). Or, in another case, the popup telling me that yay, I have row 1 and 3 of the solution correct, and need to work on row 2. Etc.

Also the little details made me smile - like being able to replay the "jumping grasshopper" animation on success screen by tapping the grasshopper.

The keyboard model used in Grasshopper is something I first seen in Hacked (http://www.hackedapp.com/), and it seems to be catching on, which is great! Now I really wish someone would make a keyboard for Lisp like that; I could do some work while standing in a bus...
After days of looking around, I purchased the Pi 3 B+ for one simple reason: cost. The price of the other boards like the Tinker or BeagleBoard Black is almost twice the price of the Pi here in Australia.

The Django websites takes over ~5 seconds to load for me, while the Postgres takes little over a 1 second.

In India, the government mandates 2 factor (usually via text message) verification for all card transactions.

It's a moderate pain in cases like Uber, but usually we have very few chargeback issues .
For our needs, yes. They run on cloud VMs so there will be a markup but their startup-4 and higher plans on GCP use local NVME SSDs so we get much better performance for the price.

We also make use of cross-regional replicas and are looking at doing it across clouds so if you want that then there isn't any other option other than doing it yourself. It's more of the complexity of this deployment rather than raw db size for us so if you have several TBs then maybe it's not the best fit.

Maybe the code wraps querySelector and getAttribute for wasm, or similar. Or maybe its underhanded code, designed to do something different than it seems to.
I'm not saying they should apply the law. I'm just saying that FB shouldn't say things like this (and in the future, they'll just backtrack with a "we didn't mean that" or some other spinon we're sorry)

Just start breaking the problem down. We have modestly accurate ideas of air pressure features across most of the world. Not enough to predict every breeze, but enough to predict what days it'll be stormy in a given location about a week in advance, plus or minus a few days, and plus or minus a bit of severity. With continued training, the models can only get more accurate. Personal weather stations are a thing now, and only growing in numbers.

Combine that with radar and satellite data for an even more accurate picture.

Now, if only we could get a log of every (5min? 1min?) reading of every station...

Honestly, I'm not sure how many rank and file employees signed one. I worked there from 2012-2015 and, as far as I recall, wasn't required to sign an NDA. I do think they required managers (who were sent off to the 1-2 week managerial school in IL) to sign NDAs, though. Also GMs and other salaried positions.

I didn’t downvote. But I imagine people disagreed with your unjustified appeal to authority. It pretty much closes off any kind of journalism critical of Tesla.
65ms feels like a lot. I guess you can cache it so you're only calling once per IP.
more succinctly: thinking something is easy is the enemy of high-standards. I really like that, and it's something I have to remind myself from.

Along the lines of high standards, something I've realized is that, for people who have high personal standards, working in an environment of low expectations is actually more stressful than working in an environment of high expectations.
This. The CCP is communist in name only (and maybe mechanisms of social control). There isn't much about China that is communist these days. I think China would more accurately be considered authoritarian capitalist and nationalist. China is only socialist in the same ways that Nazi Germany was socialist.
According to a recent article[1], once an advertiser/attacker has collected a large quantity of email addresses, she can "import [them] as contacts" on Facebook, thereby revealing which Facebook profiles they are associated with, if any.

The article was written by a gentleman who wrote some early code for Facebook to do this which was later the subject of a Microsoft patent.

Would it be fair to say that once a user submits an email address to a website, that website can locate the users Facebook profile, if one exists. No "Facebook Login" required.

Good. I hope someone in the team was saying, "The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!" - because it's some time after 2007 when the web went entirely to shit.
Even if every single bit of traffic was encrypted, a huge portion of that would still be identical - TCP headers, for one thing, would share a lot of common bits for each packet. Although bandwidth reporting often ignores those, so I am not sure about the data source for world bandwidth.

The inconvenience and danger caused by cars is so much more. You have to be on alert to avoid being killed by them. Huge swaths of valuable city real estate are devoted to free or low priced subsidized storage of cars for entitled car owners. It's astounding that this has gone on for so long and it needs to be stopped.
Good illustration of that issue.

I don’t know if I agree it’ll be less interesting- but it will have narrower applications. They’ll be more self contained - data and processing related - rather than driving the UI... but I don’t know if I’d call that not interesting.

I mean... imagine a WASM game engine where the modules/plugins can be any language as long as the compile target is WASM and they follow the right API... with JS/DOM just doing the DOM part (canvas or webgl I guess).

Sounds pretty powerful and fun.
Careless Mocking Considered Harmful
Hard to agree with this. Google and Amazon (AWS) are two largely successful companies (for working at, for investing in, for consuming etc.), and both have a traditionally "non-homogenous" product line that looks like it is different pieces glued together.

Satoshi said as much in the Bitcoin paper. To quote:

If a greedy attacker is able to assemble more CPU power than all the honest nodes, he would have to choose between using it to defraud people by stealing back his payments, or using it to generate new coins. He ought to find it more profitable to play by the rules, such rules that favour him with more new coins than everyone else combined, than to undermine the system and the validity of his own wealth

I hope so, and if I'm ever in need of a webpage design, I'd love to hire that same designer.

Seriously, the site is close to perfect. It looks nice enough, it's clean, fast and full of content - instead of being full of useless eye candy and short on actual information.
Why is that?

Systems are built for extension, to not allow it deprives one of essential qualities.
No I don't believe that at all. Part of the money you pay for share cars would be going into someone's pockets. It's literally a negative externality that they are pushing onto society. Sometimes those negative externalities are worth the benefits that a business brings around but that's not a garunteed or even common occurrence and it shouldn't just be assumed to be a positive
Their user focus is shockingly poor.

I followed the link from the blog post that said "check out the demo on our product website". Then there's a big button that says "TRY IT FREE". Good, I say. That leads me through a signup process that involves credit cards and whatnot, and then dumps me out on what I guess is the equivalent of the AWS console, not some nice audio test page.

So then I root around in the console, finally find the text to speech stuff, and screw around with various interfaces. None of them seems to be the right thing. Eventually I decide I must have missed something, go back to the product website, and scroll down further to find the "convert your speech to text right now". Great, say I.

The blog post explicitly talks about video. I want to see if it can transcribe a talk I did, so I tried uploading a file; nothing appears to happen on Firefox. I try a couple more times. I sigh heavily and switch to Chrome.

It does appear to work on Chrome, but it's entirely infuriating. I tried uploading a video file, which was over 50MB, so it refused. I then figured out how to extract the audio alone and uploaded that, at which point it complained it was over a minute. Then I find another incantation to chop my audio to a minute (which they just should have done for me, and which anyway should be explained in the interface).

Finally, I upload 60 seconds of audio. And nothing fucking happens. After all that, the thing just doesn't doesn't work. No error messages, no anything.

This is my first impression of the Google Cloud Platform, and all I hear is the squeaking of clown shoes. I'm sure the rest of it can't be this bad, but if they can't make a simple demo work, I'm unlikely to find out.
As a practical matter, they are if their encryption can’t be broken.

I wonder how much it will take until countries will require Telecom companies to transcribe and store all the phone calls for a "limited time period" of, let's say, 6 months, for "our security".

And then run algorithms on these texts to classify the conversations into "potentially crime related discussions" classes.
I have biked on both places (In more suburban areas). The roads tend to be terrifying (Because try as I might, I can't keep up with 30 mph traffic.) The sidewalks tend to be empty. I also didn't blow through intersections, which minimized the risk of getting hit in one.

Cars aren't the only thing with doors, but they are the only thing that will door you into traffic. Doors flush with buildings are also quite rare, and are quite rarely opened. (Except store doors - but you don't want to bike near them anyways, unless you want to run into a sign, or a table, or an outdoor display.)

Hmm... if you make the no-contact request you can also ask them to attach that to the file if they sell it.

George Washington’s “Yelp Reviews”
I see your point...I think that this post is railing against those companies that are floundering and don't have a clear direction and goal.

Amazon & Google may have multiple goals: retail, servers, search, home automation, etc. but I don't feel that any of their product line feels particularly "out of place" within the context of a 'tech' company.
Attachments were too annoying... so was tuning spamassassin (I guess that comes with running your own MTA- slightly OT). Off to Gmail I went (after around 10 years of doing my own email)... trading away the awesome decentralized internet for convenience... Whoops!
The last time I used Pine was in the early 2000s. I had gone on vacation and during that time some computer virus caused mass emails over the course of a few days (can't remember any more detail than that). I returned to work with many tens of thousands of unread emails in my inbox. Outlook crashed upon opening because it couldn't handle it. After a few minutes of trying Outlook over and over again, I remember that I can check my mail through Pine on the UNIX servers. Log in, open Pine, delete mass emails, Outlook is ok again. It's a quality program.
I've never been a big fan of Amazon OR Jeff Bezos' libertarian nightmare - but, seeing it framed like this, in terms of a private entity providing employment for so many people and for little profit makes me question my own beliefs. It's amazing what a little profit at scale adds up to.

That is assuming a 51% attack is only about double-spends. There are other attacks which can be done without trying to double spend.

Still it this exact belief in math that will become a self fulfilling prophecy and keep bitcoin afloat way past someone executing 51% attack.

Fascinating insight about playground design.

However, I just want to put your and other reader's minds somewhat at ease about fall fatalities. I assume the construction fatalities are falls on to hard surfaces like metal or concrete. I recently learned, while reading the manual for a back yard swing set, that there are official tables of material depth to protect against fall height.

For example, to protect against a fall of up to 10 feet you could use 6 inches of recycled rubber or 9 inches of wood chips: https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/325.pdf (pdf)
Why start from scratch? Why not take over an existing town with some infrastructure which has been mostly abandoned? There are plenty of small towns in Northern California, say Corning, that were once large productive communities in the past that could be revitalized and modernized. One could purchased 5 homes for the price of a house in the Bay Area.

Tl;dr: playing with tools, not toys.
Seeing the response on HN to these kinds of tools/toys makes me wonder if they're marketed incorrectly.

These things aren't really teaching "how to code" (what we associate with stuff like Java, Python, etc.), but "how to think like a computer" or "how to break down and solve problems." I wonder if there would be an equally pessimistic reaction if the headline and marketing material said that instead.

I think a lot of being a successful developer comes from being able to think a certain way, and I think that these types of games/toys can definitely help children learn to think that way. I remember the Dr. Brain games giving me some of my first glimpses into this kind of literal, step-by-step thinking.
Seriously? I’m sure you’re first to comment about the inherent sexism in 90% male engineering leadership teams.

Companies that focus on seeking out qualified talent from underrepresented groups have a competitive advantage, by exploiting the inherent prejudice in their competitors to access an undervalued talent pool. This in turn attracts even overrepresented talent that is motivated to work for teams with these principles.
Maybe it was a heuristic for theft? As in, "as a commoner, there's no way in hell you could legally get your hands on a pair of these, so you must have stolen them from someone else".
And if those pedestrians had to walk in narrow, unseparated lanes, between parked cars, and busy streets, instead of on the relative safety of the sidewalk, I would imagine that fatality rates would be much higher.

Whether the reason is valid or not doesn’t matter much to the target of such an order. They still lose access to their funds. People who care about that possibility may want to take steps to make it more difficult for someone to do this to them. That’s all I was saying.
Doesn't sound silly when you realize that status makes you feel good (and also adds to power), and power is literally your ability to shape the world around you to your whims. The more power you have, the more problems you can make go away.

You don't have to be sexist to attract women in leadership. Women engineers aren't rare by absolute numbers, but rare as a % portion of total engineering leaders.

If they promise and deliver on a culture where women in leadership can thrive and attempt to recruit smart women, then more women will join. Success breeds success.

Again this needs correcting. I am offering money. Why should I go out of my way to make it easy for you. Try to build a case on your own if you think its worthwhile (which you won't).

You seem hung up on the definition of toxicity being defined as rape and death threats. Your reading comprehension skills are atrocious. Where did I mention this?

You finally understand something, that the 10% threshold is high. I don't want to lose my money. But you do realize that many people actually believe it to be extremely high. YouTube comments might actually exceed that threshold.
No, I'm just not one to declare inherent sexism if it's less than 50%
