How many is really a question of how fast your processor is, how many cores, and what rates you're doing. They can't really give a solid answer since it varies so much, but their examples have defaults.

Hello world apps are testpmd or dpdk-pktgen.

Hugepages depends on how much memory your program is going to allocate. They also come in different sizes, so that example you gave is only 64 2MB pages, which is pretty small. I usually go for the largest hugepages possible in the processor I'm on (2GB) and allocate a small number of those. The reason being that most of my DPDK applications are the only things running on that machine, so I don't need to worry about sharing memory.

I agree it's tougher to learn, but it's much more powerful. They likely need some kind of beginners' guide, since once you get past the tough parts, it's great.
A friend once gave a talk at the chaos congress whose title, IMHO, captures the essence of those laws: If you want to live outside of the law, you have to be honest.

I hate the implication of this, that social media is so important to free speech that the companies that run it should try to achieve equal representation of political ideas. Create a new platform or find a different method to reach people if you hate the status quo. People shouldn't be dependent on social media to receive new information/ideas and I don't have sympathy for people that are.

Could you share the name of a legal firm charging ‘almost nothing’ for a data protection officer? Because the ones I’m finding definitely cost more than ‘almost nothing.’
Thanks for replying, this explains things. I guess I extrapolated from my needs too much, I didn't consider users who do daily 10+ GB compressed backups.

I still wonder if there's an ethical dilemma that lies underneath this - is it fair to prioritize needs of users who use your tool in a different way (for backup jobs) over users that use your tool only occasionally, perhaps not even out of their own initiative (they were sent 7z file from a ostensibly trusted source).
Hacker News has been a repository of software/tech news long enough that I would bet the audience is more diverse than you think.

As I said, a shift in demand. Yes, if you increase supply and if nothing else changes there is a decrease in price. But if you increase supply and the area therefor e.g. becomes more popular among people who earn more money or there is more investment in that area, then you have a shift in demand which can lead to an area becoming less affordable.

I don't want them to have individual data, but I'm fine with them having anonymized statistics. Knowing what people are doing with things you make is such a valuable tool for making it better.
True, but at least no sensitive information is available on the server side. People do reuse passwords.
Since when, wow?! I thought they supported just Duo for their business tier! I read all their email communication, etc., and I didn't know about this! They need to do a better job of communicating things to customers as this is groundbreaking!
TL;DR: They're launching from Vandenberg for cost-savings; they're using a larger-than-usual rocket, so they have power to spare, so they can reduce the load on Florida.

I haven't been keeping up with Mars missions lately, so this was the first time I'd heard of the InSight mission. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they are using the Mars Phoenix Lander as the base for this mission. I played an extremely small role in that mission as a co-op student back in 2005. One of my most memorable experiences, and I'm especially pleased to see it having a continual impact all of these years later.
I see a lot of comments reading into this with convoluted explanations when it's simply that tv/film is an escapist medium and most people 'live vicariously' through the main protagonist or the character(s) they relate with the most.
Yeah, I think we actually are pretty close to the same page. I just think, in light of the tremendous amount of progress over the past years, often discounted by a media audience that is fed a healthy diet of panic (this brought to you by capitalism, FTR!), capitalism has been an overall win. And I don't know of any other system that could have produced anything close to what we have.

I guess a lot of it comes down to whether we are satisfied with the state of humanity, and whether we recognize past progress as an overall good.
Well written Java is sure to be slower than well written C/C++.

Happy? ;)

But yes, the point you make, is valid, it is much harder to write C/C++ well, because of the burden of memory management.
So if you lack the time or skilled people, it might make sense to choose Java out of perfomance reasons.
It IS about property rights though.

I do not have the right to build whatever I want on my property, and I would like that to change.

I would also like other people to have the rights to build whatever they want things THEIR property.

How does arguing in favor of rights for property owners make YIMBY people hypocrits?

You are saying that YIMBY people are doing something contradictory. There is nothing contradictory of arguing in favor of everyone being allowed to do what they want with their property.

This is absolutely a moral argument, as it is about people being allowed to do what they want with property that they own. Arguments regarding rights are moral arguments.
I wouldn't dignify that with the word "truth", and I don't think you should, either ("you" meaning sykh, not "you" meaning the person in your thought experiment).

This person has a very strong belief, so strong that they put the label "truth" on it. But that's a different meaning than the word has had in this discussion thread - so different that different words should be used, to keep us straight. The version you mention here might be called "strongly-held belief" - held so strongly, in fact, that the person holding it can't imagine that it could be questioned, let alone false.

But for the rest of the comments, I think that people are using "truth" to mean "correspondence to reality". I think that that is quite different from "strongly-held belief", because I don't think that strongly-held belief changes reality.
>Who wants to launch a side project and be faced with the prospect of $20M fines

Either your side projects are tremendously successful or tremendously unethical, can't really tell which.

$20M is very ambitious either way.
The number one feature request by far at this point would be collaborative features in the notebook. Not really because I actually want to collaboratively edit a notebook with others, but because I would like to open the same notebook in two separate browser windows (side-by-side), and edit a cell at the top of the notebook in one, and a cell at the bottom in the other, and have things get merged automatically. Or, not having to worry that I left a (remote) notebook open on my work computer when I connect to the same server from home, causing parts of the notebook to be accidentally overwritten.
It's open ocean straight south of Vandenberg AFB all the way to Antarctica. This geographic quirk makes it a safer location to put satellites into polar orbit - Earth-observing sats launched out of Cape Canaveral have to take a "dog-leg" course correction to avoid overflying populated areas to the south, which uses up fuel and reduces available payload.

It's also the site for regular ICBM test launches, which are aimed southwest at the Kwajalein Atoll. Missile launches aren't quite as dramatic as those bound for orbit - a Minuteman III tends to be over the horizon in under a minute.
The West Coast has the worst case of this disease but it's a widespread problem especially in cities. Look at house prices vs. median income across the country. Normal is considered 3-4X. 5X is considered high. Today above 5X is the norm, which is considered "loony."
I liked the game as a shooter but I thought all the moralizing was ham fisted nonsense. It was incredibly obvious what it was doing and it didn't affect me the way it seemed to affect a lot of other people.
Being a “minority activist” does not make you immune to corruption. The protest was organized for the ambitious elected official Jane Kim, and she invited “minority activists” to speak out-and-out lies. Things like, “SB 827 does not have tenant protections.”

I’ve been at neighborhood meetings, where people working for the Planning Department asked minorities what they wanted. The minorities, every single one, wanted the opposite of what the activists wanted.

As someone who worked directly on VAFB's spacerange modernization: they also have slightly better equipment for launches than Kennedy.

VAFB's vertical wind profiler[1] is slightly more reliable, VAFB's disaster planning is easier too.

If you're not launching something supermassive that should be as close to where it was assembled, Kennedy is not your best call. That's why a lot of small and on-the-dl loads tend to go there. Also: weather is consistently more favorable in California that far south.

The less great part about moving more launches there is that the options for public viewing are way worse.

[1]: Science trivia: it's awful old school to use weather balloons to measure wind shear layers. Now they have radars so good they literally point them straight up and let the wind shear bounce radars back down. It's amazing that this works. It's so good that it can see birds!. Some operators claimed to be able to discriminate breeds, although I have no idea how they'd validate that.

No, a YIMBY person would be perfectly in favor of everyone being allowed to do what they want with their own property.

A contradiction would be if a YIMBY person said "I DON'T want this person to be allowed to do what they want with their property."

No YIMBY person is arguing for restrictions. They are arguing for removing restrictions, everywhere, and yes that means for their neighbors.

You edited my comment selectively--"of the genuine horrors that exist even today". Here is one example:

Ironically, it is NIMBYism that really has the white privilege problem. It was white people that invented zoning laws in response to desegregation: http://reason.com/archives/2014/04/02/zonings-racist-roots-s....

It continues to be primarily privileged white people who use zoning to prevent building of low-cost housing, discouraging multi-family units, discouraging non-traditional housing situations for workers, etc.
What about small companies that don’t sell data as a business model?

GDPR punishes the vast majority of businesses that do not have business models reliant on selling user data in favor of trying to catch the ones that do.

Unfortunately, I fear this regulation will do absolutely nothing to stop the bad actors from selling data as they do now.
This comment right here is a perfect example of FUD.
> Building a double-blind clinical trial regarding changing people's diets over their lifetime and observing cardiovascular mortality is very hard.

But it is the only diet research that can actually generate knowledge.

The studies you cite are nice and all, but the first two are for studies that measured outcomes after 6-8 weeks. If you assume an average lifespan of 70 years, the longest study represented ~1/450th of a human lifespan. And, as you mention, they only measure what we think are valid indicators, not actual outcomes! And the third study may control for all of the things you mention, but it doesn't control for the other foods the study participants ate!

Really the only piece of information that you need to know regarding red meat is that public health messaging for the last 50 years has been that people should limit red meat intake. And it was successful. According to this[0], red meat consumption has decreased from 133lbs per person in 1965 to 107lbs per person in 2016. But it is during this exact same time period that the obesity epidemic came into existence. So, perhaps red meat is marginally bad for you, but it is almost certainly not cause of all of the various afflictions that we think are caused in some way by our diets.

Unscientific, but for me Everest started a few seconds faster than Postman and used about half as much RAM. I tried to clear out preexisting state from Postman but probably didn't get 100% of it. If you already have a JVM installed, the executable is also 90% smaller
"The real issue is simply N > M, where N is the number of bedrooms needed in San Francisco, and M is the number of bedrooms in existence in San Francisco. As long as N > M, then there will be winners and losers."

No. This is a toy economic model that doesn't account for time or land constraints.

The benefits of construction do not immediately and equally accrue to all market participants. In cities where essentially all new construction is infill (i.e. San Francisco), new units will displace older, cheaper units (not always, but it does happen). Therefore, until supply actually exceeds demand, you will have winners and losers, and you must account for the losers.

Additionally, an any realistic model of housing, you will see that new construction will continue not until housing is as affordable as existing stock, but only until it is no longer profitable to build. It is expensive to do infill development, and therefore unlikely that any builder will continue to generate supply until prices match those of older properties. It could easily take decades for new construction to lower housing prices. For example, New York, Paris and Tokyo are far more dense than San Francisco, with more liberal development rules, yet are the some of the most expensive cities in the world in which to live.

It is thin gruel to say "I'm sorry you lost your currently affordable housing, but come back in 20 years, and everything will be affordable!" But this is essentially the response you are making.

The Busy Beaver _function_ BB() is non-computable. Computability is a property functions have. BB(10000) is a number, although we don't and never will know which one. It doesn't mean anything to ask whether particular numbers are "computable".
This idea that the demand for housing in a certain area is literally infinite is so strange to me. Yes, it takes a long time to build 50,000 apartments, and prices will not immediately normalize. Yes, a very large percentage of the new construction will be luxury. But the prices will not keep going up the more units that are built that’s mathematically insane.
I hear plunge and I think time to by, but here are prices from last 30 days:

+ 300.00
- 291.21

- 280.69
+ 301.15

I see numbers above the recent peak, and below the current low.
> Sigh. They appear to have confused hashing with asterisks.

No they didn't. Or else the excerpt you quoted would have said literally that, i.e.

> The glitch was related to Twitter’s use of a technology known as “hashing” that masks passwords as a user enters them by replacing them with asterisks.

While the description of "hashing" is tortured, it seems to be technically correct, if you don't make specific assumptions about the phrase "that masks passwords as a user enters them by replacing them". But yes, the normal interpretation of the present tense would be that the characters are being hashed as the user types in the password, rather than after the form submission.
We used mailing list per topic (think channels) that anyone could subscribe to, and piper mail for searchable archives, and a $100 bounty for every relevant topic turned into a GFM document (with guidelines for minimal structure w.r.t. pros and cons and whats, whys and hows). Seemed to work. Of course this was before people discovered Slack, destroyer of institutional knowledge.
Unannounced changes to the Nano codebase
I don't think anyone is seriously suggesting that we eat fewer leafy greens. I, however, definitely think that there could be a lot of improvements to the way that we farm them.
Isn't that the point though? That for building this kind of plant, you spend the money up front and then spend a lot of time, but less money, actually making it work.

From the outside that will look like a reduction in CapEx (once the up-front spend is done) followed by a "mysteriously" cheap ramp-up in production volume.
I think what you are describing is dogma, not truth.

Tesla is public. Yes there is. Just depends on whether you can stomach the risk.
The study will (probably) have corrected for this, but the Daily Telegraph is quoting raw numbers.
My problem with the example is I don't understand how this philosophical problem can possibly translate to a language with more refined words for "know" and "knowledge." To me, it appears to be bickering over the definition of an English word. Happy to be shown why this isn't the case.

I believe I can make it a non-problem by defining some new words.

Understand what, exactly? I don't believe most users understand that passwords aren't necessarily stored in plaintext (on a system log, or in a database).
I believe you could use a construction like HMAC to make it so that during authentication (not password setting events) you don't actually send the token. But if someone is already able to MITM your requests, what are the odds they can't just poison the JavaScript to send it in plaintext back to them?

One interesting thing ive noticed about chinese culture are the heuristics around cleanliness. Vegetables are always washed vigorously and cooked. Salads and sandwiches and other raw-like things are rather disliked. Hands are washed after petting dogs/cats. Slippers always worn around the house. Dislike of carpets. Windows opened every morning for fresh air. Other random stuff.

The safety heuristics cant be delegated to a larger system as one doesn't exists so individual households maintain this knowledge and many of them turn into habitual preference.

I am always amazed people think this is the case.

No argument there (and I think that the success of Musk's companies is largely because of the faceless engineers he hires that toil away to make it a reality).

My point is that left to their own devices, most of those engineers would rather toil away on their own startups or hobby projects, and that convincing them to all work on a tiny piece of a big project requires someone who's both charismatic and has a finger on the pulse of what problems can excite people. Musk has been uniquely successful in aligning people to work on big, hairy, audacious goals.
