There's also far less of a takeaway drinks culture in Europe, for both fizzy drinks and coffee. The only drink I ever have in a car is a bottle of water which fits fine in the door pocket.
Is it possible to assign dirty schedulers to isolated cores? Like if you have 8 cores, can you say, "6 of these are for the regular schedulers and 2 are for the dirty schedulers"? If your CPU intensive dirty code is running is on the same cores that your normally pre-empted code is running on, I have to assume that performance is still going to degrade a bit.

Given current speed of iteration I think you can cut that in half. The key will be implementations - Babel plugins help with that.
To be clear, those who were maintaining MySQL at the time this decision was made were perfectly happy maintaining both (I am one of those people, sort of, not very active the last couple years). The security team and release team is to blame, please direct your complaints to them.

In general when one writer says snotty things about another, it can simply mean, "I don't see anything here that I can use." As for this list, it is worth mentioning that Nabokov wrote a short book on Gogol, and gives him about 50 pages in the Lectures on Russian Literature.
Installed it. Removed it. Will try again in 1 or 2 years when another update comes out. Other apps are far better and feature rich. They could have just improved Keep and give users to turn on/off functionality if they think Keep does too much (but let's face it, Keep doesn't do much).
I speak English only. I find it much easier to translate either online or via English-to-X dictionary if the other language uses Latin script. Could it be done? I'm sure it is possible, but without previously interacting with them, not easily.

I'll say this, for work I travel to Montreal at moderately regular intervals. Because everything is in French, it makes it a bit harder, but I can either: a) infer based off similarities to English words b) look it up as it only has a few unique glyphs versus what I'm accustomed to.

How is selling security fixes unprecedented? That's basically the entire Red Hat business model in the early years - yes the fixes are "free" if you want to spend all your time downloading and recompiling software, or you can buy RHEL and get a steady stream of backported fixes to your server for years. But it'll cost you.

As far as I can tell, the reason Oracle is the sole maintainer of Java is mainly historical (Sun legacy) and because no one felt an urge to do anything about it before. I'm sure it's going to change now.

Why? Neither Google nor IBM particularly require Java bug fixes from Oracle. Google maintains an in-house OpenJDK already and IBM actually maintains an entirely separate JVM. Also Google is hardly famous for its long term commitment to stable APIs and old versions of software, quite the opposite.

It doesn't make much sense for a company to pay for the expensive work of finding, fixing and backporting bug fixes to years old software .... all for free.
I don't think this is specific to Facebook. Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft all have less revenue around this time of year when compared to the previous quarter. I'd imagine consumption in general is just higher around the holidays.

Lately, I am of the idea that the real problem with how we do concurrency is that we have yet to figure out a way to do it without first-class procedures. When we spawn a thread, even in a low language such as C, we use something to the effect of:

launch_thread(function, perhaps, some, initial, data);

The trouble with this approach to concurrency is twofold:

(0) It forces a hierarchical structure where one continuation of the branching point is deemed the “parent” and the others are deemed the “children”. In particular, if the forking procedure was called by another, only the “parent” continuation may return to the caller. This is unnatural and unnecessarily limiting. Even if you have valid reasons to guarantee that only one continuation will yield control back to the caller (e.g., to enforce linear usage of the caller's resources), the responsibility to yield back to the caller is in itself as a resource like any other, whose usage can be “negotiated” between the continuations.

(1) It brings the complication of first-class procedures when it is often not needed. From a low-level, operational point of view, all you need is the ability to jump to two (or more) places at once, i.e., a multigoto. There is no reason to require each continuation to have a separate lexical scope, which, in my example above, one has to work around by passing “perhaps some local data” to `launch_Thread`. There is also no reason to make “children” continuations first-class objects. If you need to pass around the procedure used to launch a thread between very remote parts of your program, chances are your program's design is completely broken anyway. These things distract the programmer from the central problem in concurrent programming, namely, how to coordinate resource usage by continuations.

And OpenBSD has large numbers of skilled VM engineers sitting around doing nothing?

OpenJDK is Oracle. They're the same people. If Oracle stop releasing bug fixes to the open source project OpenBSD isn't going to step up and suddenly start doing backports all themselves.
English has a very large vocabulary either derived from French or having the same roots as French words, which I do not believe is the case with Kazakh.

Yup. The early MySQL developers spent a lot of time and effort making the install and setup process as fast and smooth as possible; a lot of people stuck with what they could get working first.

> Now is the time to start a new company or project, not 5 or 10 years from now when the tech has matured.

Actually, I'd rather start the new company 5 or 10 years from now when the tech has matured. It's the same reason the company I'm currently on relies primarily on boring PHP stuff and the more boring parts of Docker, not the newer tech that I'd rather be using. The time that could be spent chasing stuff that might be fads or might be an advantage is better spent directly working with customers to better understand their problems and exploring directly-business-relevant parts of the solution space.

That and the blockchain really is "just" a distributed database. It's potentially very useful, because of the way it tackles the trust problems, but if you're not sure whether you need it or not, then you probably don'.
Most of the income is coming from advertisers and not users. Presumably companies spend more money on advertising around the holiday season.
Yeah, I looked at the original Ethereum spec and thought this thing isn't going to scale. Boy, did I miss out on making a lot of money. I still don't know what practical use people actually use Ethereum for besides as a currency and ICO scams.
I've had a couple friends try to enroll me into their ponzi schemes. They were really emotional both during the sale and after I remained in "no". I think emotions are just the communication of the base animal part of people. No need to imbue it with prescience or exceptional intelligence.

My main takeaway from this is that #deleteFacebook has been a flash in the pan-- their active user count is still increasing across all regions. Also to note, FB only pay effectively 11% tax on some 12 billion dollars worth of revenue.

> equating promises to continuations is ... not really accurate.

That's fair, agreed, and I don't mean to imply equality. The argument was that JS doesn't have continuations at all though, which wasn't completely true in 2013, and is trending less true over time with promises and generators, right?
Next, the US will try to adopt the metric system (again).
emodendroket - in the case of Quebec, they've moved heavily towards French only (currently, French predominantly). I have zero issue with this and it would beat everything looking like my emails from corporate where they're blocks of FR/EN/ES or EN/FR/ES translated scripts. Works fine in emails, not sure how I'd feel looking at things out and about having a ton of translations though.
Now that I have thought about it for a little while longer I think I would be fine with each state deciding which model they wanted to follow. I falls in line with states rights and the 50 individual experiments concept. Which I also believe in. If one of the models work then great. If not they can look to see what is working.
Rights are expectations that you have from a just society. There's no real division into positive and negative rights. Due process, for instance, could be phrased either way but it is the same right nonetheless. One phrasing would emphasize freedom from extralegal persecution, the other would emphasize that all sorts of people (e.g. lawyers, juries, judges) are compelled to provide you certain services.

You can't have rights without guaranteeing action. My right not to be tortured requires all sorts of individual and societal interventions in order to fulfill. There's no classification of rights into positive/negative and certainly no difference in validity between the two.
Yes, Linux will use the HPET if it's available, but it prefers the TSC when possible, which is the case in most modern CPUs. For instance, you will see the following in the kernel log:

[ 0.062020] clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet
[...]
[ 2.383237] clocksource: Switched to clocksource tsc

Here, it started with the HPET, calibrated the TSC, and switched to it. There's no need to disable the HPET for it to chose something else as the best timing source.
I broached the subject of cupholders in cars w/ a German expat I worked with around 20-ish years ago. She told me that German attitudes toward driving were such that drinking any beverages while driving is an unnecessary distraction. She said that she was surprised and appalled at how many distractions US cars have.

My sample size of German drivers is 1. I'd be interested to hear if others have similar feelings.
As someone deeply involved in this community, I sort of agree about the "Rube Goldberg" feel of his ideas, but Vitalik et al have delivered pretty reliably: I think both ethereum and casper are pretty safe bets at this point (yes, I'll likely get some comments telling me I'm wrong and how horrible ethereum and casper are)

The sharding stuff, however, is still iffy at the moment (I've studied it pretty closely) ...but if vitalik is confident he can make it work, I'll bet on v every time.
This was a joke mostly. I have no issue setting the bottle on the back seat or something. I'm a bit of a nalgene and water fan.
Also good thought on a pricing model that declines after the first several months - definitely something we're considering introducing.
Makes sense, thanks for the thorough answer! The popularity of the LAMP stack predates me a bit, so I didn't know as much about the history.
No, I'm not trolling. Your freedom ends where mine begins.
If you want to turn your healthcare choices over to a third party then I have no intention of stopping you. What you're calling your "choice" is to enslave me against my will, to steal the fruits of my labor for your personal benefit. All I'm asking of you is that you don't enslave me. You are still free to participate in collective bargaining, turning over your healthcare choices to a third party, etc. You don't need me to do those things.
So I have a Linux laptop with full disk encryption that only gets used for work stuff and lives in the office 5-6 out of 7 days. If I move it, I'm paying attention.

I make a round trip that's 3-4 hours one way (often with a break stop partway through) about once a month.

That doesn't even involve crossing into a different state (far from it).

America is big with lots of empty space and people who drive really long distances.

The number of places where you can catch a train to go between cities is very limited and often even when it is an option it's faster and more convenient to drive yourself anyway.

The fact that in most places you basically have to own a car to be able to live in an affordable neighborhood and commute to where the jobs are contributes to that as well.
Doesn't Apple have a ton of in-house engineers that use their hardware every day and therefore must have these problems as well? Shouldn't they fix them if only to keep their engineers from the pain?
I don't follow your reasoning. Private insurance pays physicians more than medicare, producing the implied subsidy you mention (as they pay less). But once patients get onto medicare, they dont go to private insurance anymore so there is no subsidy: almost all the money is spent by the state at that stage.

This has the incentive that private markets have incentives to do disease treatment and prevention before the patient goes to medicare, potentially offloading care onto the later stages.

I would surely like some formal study and analysis on this, i feel this is very theoretical.
Was Bitcoin created by a rogue artificial intelligence?
I'll put it this way: this went from being a passing thought in my mind to being blown out of the water impressed by the volume and quality of your work. I'm not in a position to hire you, but actually seeing your portfolio flipped me 180 degrees on my feelings about this post.
We re talking about killing ~15 million people every year in the USA alone. That's one hell of a way to eradicate cancer, of course.
JavaScript's Tricky Rounding (2018)
The Certificate of Need process also applies to anyone wanting to install a MRI machine. Rather than letting a doctor take the risk of buying an expensive machine for their business, the certificate process forces patients to travel to the nearest machine, possibly in the next town, instead of just walking down the hall to it.

The knock-on effect of there being fewer machines built keeps the price high. The first photocopier (the Xerox 914) cost the equivalent of $220,000 in 1965, yet there are very few businesses without a copier today because the price is so reasonable (5% of the 914's cost), and they do much much more.
While I suspect that in the long run blockchains will absolutely end up finding some niches where they're persistently used, I do agree that a lot of the broader claims remind me a lot of "next year will be the year of linux on the desktop".

If you go around Asia, many signs are presented in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and English, and it works pretty well for them. I think Quebec's political situation is somewhat unique.
I feel like proof of work reduces to proof of stake because the rich get richer, there's just an intermediate step of buying miners with your dividend.
tl;dr version: Trying to learn electronics at the module level will give you about as much knowledge about electronics as someone who points to their monitor and says 'this CPU doesn't work!' has about computers. As long as the instructions/tutorials get everything working, you're good. But as soon as things go even slightly off-script, you'll be lost and have no idea how to troubleshoot things.

The issue is not the modules, but the underlying electronic components themselves. I started back as a wee lad with one of those 150-in-one kits and it was a great way to learn as a kid. From there I moved on to the various 'cookbooks'. Then I was able to follow projects in magazines etc. All doable over the course of a year or two depending on how motivated you are.

If I were starting from scratch today, I'd probably use an Arduino and follow some basic circuit tutorials online. (i.e. wire up breadboard circuits to the Arduino using it for power, digital input/output, ADC etc) If you only want to do digital electronics (i.e. true/false logic input/output), you can get by without too much analog knowledge (i.e. reservoir and noise filtering capacitors, using resistors to tie lines high/low etc.) but as soon as you want to interact with the real world (i.e. driving banks of LEDs, temperature and other sensors, motor control, etc) you really, REALLY, need to learn about analog circuits. No need to become an expert, but you want to get the basics down so you have an idea what's going on when things go wrong (and they will!)

It shouldn't take too long but you need to get below the modules and focus on the individual components (i.e. the basics of voltage/current, resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, transistors, amplifiers and then move on to ICs and modules etc. and not just what they are/do but get some basic knowledge about how to measure and troubleshoot issues with them) to understand at least conceptually what things are doing at the component level. Then those modules won't seem like such a mystery when problems arise.
I could not have said it better myself. I actually thought of that a little while after I wrote that.
Copperhead OS – Hardened Android Distribution
Okay, how about this then:

If it is in Latin script, the tourists from countries with Latin-based languages can phonetically butcher whatever it is they're attempting to communicate with the other party.

If it is in Cyrillic script, the tourists from countries with Latin-based languages can just stare at a person blankly or point at words on paper/signage if the other party is close enough. Provided they traveled at all for fear of this scenario.

Honestly, I think it is reasonable to attempt to obtain at least a passing capability to communicate in a foreign area, but the question is why would someone used to a Latin language prefer a similarly derived language vs one with completely different glyphs.
Update: disappointment - priority inbox sections haven't been updated. They're still limited to 2 by the UI, and the new UI still doesn't expose "with label, in inbox" that's been possible for years by modifying the HTML on the page. The Gmail server clearly supports this, so it's a shame they haven't implemented a UI for it. I hope this doesn't break the hack people have been using to get 4 sections with messages only from the inbox...
So, basically you are saying that it's all gambling and nobody has a better strategy / better information than everybody else. Some are just lucky and it is all because of the survival bias.

I agree with you in that it is a possible explanation, but I disagree in that it is the only one possible.
InnocentFelonForHire.com – High Quality Software Service, at a Competitive Price
Pipeline DB would be a great fit, it seems, for 'Speed-layer' part of lambda architecture. While the postgresql underneath would work as a 'batch layer'.

A pair of both would only be missing an in-memory and on disk column-oriented 'analytics' tier (perhaps as separate instance that's being continuously fed from the first two?).

I think I had seen that PostgreSQL also has columnar store extension, wondering if that would work close the remaining gap for the analytics instance.

Thats what you call "printing cash".
The new Kazakh alphabet is not subset of ASCII, so no benefit there. The "ugly" apostrophe version would have been though, but that got scrapped.
Cyrillic is also a phonetic alphabet and you can pretty easily add a Cyrillic keyboard to your phone or laptop. These arguments seem like they belong in a discussion of Chinese script or something similar.
