"The job of calling fsync(), however, is handled in a single "checkpointer" process, which is concerned with keeping on-disk storage in a consistent state that can recover from failures"

And there in lies the rub. Sybase ASE calls fsync() upon every commit, which is the reason that database devices are still mostly implemented with raw devices. Before version 11.9.2 (as far as I recall) you ran the exact same risk if you used the file system as devices. Now it's safe, but performance can get pretty heinous on write intensive systems.
The guy which himself banned a site from his service? Surely if he has the right to block others do to. After all, it's a free market and private companies are allowed to do what they want, you don't like it, go to someone else. Remember, only the government can censorship.
I assume the goal is to prevent the OS from needing to know the key.

"Lambda Calculus is perhaps the Maxwell's equations of computability, not of the computer field."
I agree with you.

"What Kay might have meant is that Lisp is the Maxwell's equations of programming a computer to do something useful."
But what I discovered is that lambda calculus + S-expressions define a consistent infrastructure on which useful superstructures can be built, data structures (pairs, trees, lists,...) and data controls (recursion). And make implementation a pleasure, either via AST (lambda code) or via regexps {lambda talk}.
No. Read it more carefully. There is someone who asks that they be allowed to register which political view they favor. There is no such system to actually register one's political views.

does the fingerprint sensor API return a signed response from the fingerprint sensor or SE? or is it a simple yes/no?. if it's the latter, the whole thing is security theater.
Goldman isn't holding Bitcoin itself. They're not stupid.
what's the problem with letting the OS know the key? it already has access to all the files! the only use i can think of is some sort of multi-user system where you can't trust the kernel, but if you can't trust the kernel, it's already game over.
> Sybase ASE calls fsync() upon every commit

Those are journal commits, not the commits that the piece you quote is talking about (actual data files).
Knowing how bad most telco networks are operated, I blithely wonder if maybe they were using stuff in 1./8 as PNI or some other privileged internal net and are going through some oh shit moments.

70MB is too much for mainly native application.

For the comparison, IDE sketch (editor with syntax highlighting) from Sciter (HTML/CSS/script engine) SDK (https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-sdk/tree/master/samples/id...) takes 43 MB.

Agreed. To clarify, I use the term in a narrow sense limited to what I imagine to be "reasonable" from the profit seeking point of view of Goldman.
Everyone is focusing on python, but where is this "can do" spirit from mozilla? Their are languages with better startup times, bash, perl, lua, awk to name a few, and could likely do whatever the python scripts are doing.
I'm a professional Python developer and I run into performance problems a lot. Python makes things really hard for even specialists to "hold right". Contrast that with Go, which (for all the hate it gets) writes very alike well-formed Python in single-threaded applications, and writes how you would like to write Python in parallel applications. And all the while being two orders of magnitude faster. If we don't start taking performance seriously in the Python community, Go (or someone else) will eat our lunch sooner or later.
I have no idea why people talk about Tesla going bankrupt. It will never happen in this liquid market. Even Uber raised $10bn from SoftBank. There is a ton of liquidity in the market and a lot of it is coming from middle East sovereign funds. It should be easy to do a stock sale with that kind of revenue and demand numbers.
Yes, in short, I think we both want the "dataflow model" and not the "stateful update" model.

If anything should use the dataflow model, it's data analysis!!!

And yes that's why I mentioned Observable, and I'm glad jashkenas also responded. As far as I understand, it's like a spreadsheet, so when you update your inputs, the outputs become consistent automatically.

It's sort of like Make (or perhaps Make in reverse). Dataflow also allows your code to be parallelized. Some scientists don't care about this, but engineers do. It's an eye-opening experience to speed up naive data analysis by 1000x or more with shell scripts and a little C++.

I am wondering what is the narrative you are preemptively countering and why is it important to disrupt that narrative?
I get an article and the title in English "An Open High-Performance Simulator for Quantum Circuits", that is the translation of the title of the HN post.
Based on my time at Basho observing and assisting with the development of Riak[1], I don't think you'll get the performance you want from built-in I/O, even with the new dirty scheduler support.

We (well, primarily Matthew Von-Maszewski) spent countless hours optimizing LevelDB as the most performant backend for most use cases.

You'd be much better off building atop Riak than starting your own object store from scratch.

[1]: Most active Riak development today is courtesy the NHS - https://github.com/nhs-riak/riak
Great point. Like at some point Hershey was on the verge to lose ability to call it's chocolate 'milk chocolate' because it's contents didn't have enough of it and cocoa.

I really love your idea.
is the only relevance of that touhou meme that it uses the word "pure"?
Derp, good point.
My guess is this is just incompetence and not intentionally made to block CloudFlare.

I have one of those routers, and I couldn't use 1.1.1.1 because it was routing to an internal interface on the router. I confirmed this with ping, I was getting microsecond response times from 1.1.1.1.

Under the new firmware, 1.1.1.1 is just dead. So it's probably still connected to the local interface, and nothing is listening.

This is great. I wouldn't have thought to run FFmpeg on Lambda.

I'm going to stick with Elastic Transcoder for now though. I like that I have no upgrades to maintain and very little code. I feel like if I did this, it would take me years to recoup the cost even with a 99% savings.

But that is only because I only have a few videos a month. Roughly $1.00 on Elastic Transcoder. If I had thousands or even hundreds of videos this seems like a great and worthwhile project. Especially since this article appears to take a lot of the trial and error and proof of concept out of the mix.

I worked for a large Internet company that had a Netflix like product back in 2007. The transcoders were literally just plugged in underneath people's cubicles. Kept things nice and warm in the winter and I'm sure the costs were pretty low.

The fact that central banks still hold gold reserves in developed economies is mostly due to historical reasons and not to back their currencies.
Cloudflare are not a monopoly or duopoly. Cloudflare isn't a critical link in the chain between consumers and the wider internet. Being a Cloudflare customer isn't a necessary part of internet access.
I'd say there is a 98% chance this is a bug in some firmware and a 2% chance AT&T is intentionally trying to block Cloudflare DNS.

I get why people are paranoid about ISPs blocking content and net neutrality, but let's not cry wolf prematurely. The technical details here strongly suggest a bug rather than intentional blocking of 1.1.1.1 DNS traffic.
As a consumer, you are free to switch to a different provider. I'm not saying what they're doing is ok, but let's not neglect the opportunity to vote with our $$$.
You may also be interested in learning about Number.EPSILON (the floating point epsilon) which is required when dealing with number equality...

For example, this is an incorrect way to compare numbers:

> 0.1 + 0.2 === 0.3
false

This is the proper way to compare numbers:

a = 0.1 + 0.2
b = 0.3
> Math.abs(a - b) < Number.EPSILON
true

This means the difference is smaller than the smallest quantity that can be represented in floating point number, and every JS number is a floating point number.

Not knowing about this can cause many issues if you deal with values representing currency.
Yes; C++20 seems likely. See https://isocpp.org/std/status
They started blocking 1.0.0.1 and CF ipv6 DNS too. This has to be intentional.
And they singled out this one instead of Google’s, which has been around since well before NN existed and is far more well-known, because...? I remember seeing talk about this on dslreports a couple weeks ago, IIRC it’s not a deliberate block, they were using this IP or a range internally.

You can, but it's risky.

There is nothing preventing the company from filing everything and you go through the normal process.

The catch is, if you have to leave then a green card application can be reason to deny you entry. As you have shown dual intent.

I switched to h-1b, seemed easier.

Still can't travel because AP applications take forever now. I'm waiting on the oh so useful interview to be scheduled for my green card now. Used to be they could waive the requirement but now it's absolutely required.

> what's the problem with letting the OS know the key? it already has access to all the files!

How about when your device is locked in sleep mode. The main processor should lose the key to a certain set of files, as does on iOS.
This is likely due to incompetence, not malice.

FWIW, it’s possible to bypass AT&T’s router:

https://github.com/jaysoffian/eap_proxy

That said, I tried 1.1.1.1 and found I had to switch back to Google DNS since Cloudflare intentionally doesn’t support EDNS Client Subnet which was causing my AppleTV’s to have trouble loading content.

Do they block quad9? Although I trust AT&T about as far as I can throw them, this may just be a bad config/update.

Jesus Christ. Fortunately I only have AT&T on mobile and it still works there, but I will ditch them in a heartbeat if that changes. At least in the cellular space there's still some consumer choice to be had.
Hmmm that's a fair point. But then why not also block 8.8.8.8?
Thanks for writing this summary. Plenty of people get the wrong idea when it comes to test accuracy for topics like health diagnosis.

In the case of this particular topic it does seem like the outlined test could be another tool that doctors could utilize. If for instance a child has shown a change in developmental milestones then that observation comes with it's own (somewhat doctor specific) sensitivity and specificity. That information could be combined with the EEG test to improve the overall doctor+test accuracy. Nothing's going to be perfect, but the outlook is a bit more positive than presented in your example.
The US has a radical cost difference in gasoline prices vs most of world.

Some reference per gallon prices right now: China $4.41, India $4.47, Japan $4.93, S.Korea $5.46, Spain $5.90, Germany $6.45, UK $6.59, Finland $6.83, France $6.99, Denmark $7.22, Italy $7.29, Netherlands $7.48

The US by contrast is at $2.99.

The US is now exporting immense amounts of oil and that is set to grow by a lot in the coming years. That hasn't occurred since the export law restrictions in 1975. The US is heading to 2 million plus barrels per day of exports this year. Chart:

https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=M...

More likely the price of US gasoline will continue to drift slightly higher toward the rest of the world, as the exports bring the US closer to a normalization with everyone else (emphasis on closer). Those exports are seeking higher prices internationally, which will result in at least somewhat higher domestic prices (dramatically less domestic captive supply).

Further, the dollar is on a longer term trajectory down, due to the vast US budget deficits that are set to continue perpetually. That will push up the price of commodities priced in dollars, ie oil, which will also push up domestic gasoline prices as a consequence.

Tesla is going to sell a lot of cars as domestic gasoline prices gradually head toward $5 as a normal level (combination of less captive oil supply, and a perpetually eroding dollar value base).

Oh, absolutely agreed. My ideal world has people moved (not necessarily "promoted") to manager because people up the chain know that they'll be good at it, and not for any other reason.
So I just showed you how you could do it with links and because "no one does it" that means it "can't be done". Have you thought that the reason "no one does it" is because most people don't want to muck with their systems and just want to get stuff done?

You want to "tinker with the kernel" but you are complaining about modify a plist?
Aside from shovels, Goldman Sachs is also in the business of commodity manipulation, as showcased by their rather ridiculous aluminium scheme.

Bitcoin is a commodity, and with the amount of money they have at their disposal, I can only imagine fees aren't the only thing they're going to focus on.
Yeah. The USB case is a cop out. For USB, keeping the pages dirty and the fsyncs erroring (as seems consistent with Postgres' needs and common sense) seems fine.

The memory can be reclaimed when 'umount --force', or something like that, discards filesystem dirty state.
You assume no state-granted ISP monopoly.
I found this part interesting:

> In texts transcribed so far, a full one-third of the words contained one or more typos, places where the OCR guessed the wrong letter. [...] Still, the software got 96 percent of all handwritten letters correct.

96% correct sounds pretty good but that's still multiple errors per sentence! The threshold for truly "error-free" is quite high...

BTW, for those wondering what this particular failure scenario is:
Let's use Docker's default 172.17.0.0/16 subnet as an example. So your docker host has iptable DNAT rules that routes a given "external" IP address (10.0.1.15) to a given docker container (172.17.25.92). That works great, unless you have a workstation on a subnet such as 172.17.81.0/24. When that workstation sends a packet to 10.0.1.15, that packet gets routed to the destination container 172.17.25.92. That container goes to reply, but the reply packet never makes it out to the original workstation because the container host thinks it is bound for something else on its version of the 172.17 subnet.

One workaround to this is to have the container host also put in an SNAT rule, so that anything that it forwards to a container would have the source IP address re-written to appear to come from the container host's IP, or the docker0 bridge IP (172.17.0.1/16)

You're absolutely right about this. This is almost certainly just there to block people who mistakenly paste in an example configuration somewhere.

Back in 2010 there were problems that came up when IANA started allocating out of 1.0.0.0/8 (e.g. [1]). Things that were once assumed to be unused started being used, leading to strange issues.

Also, why on earth would AT&T block 1.1.1.1 and not Google DNS and OpenDNS?

the point i was making is that, yes, the services business is growing, but that's basically reaping the fruits sown by the iphone/ipad business (and macs and ipods before that), so it's lagging as an indicator of the trajectory of the company.

apple is the best at understanding what ordinary consumers want out of computing devices, and services are very complementary to that. but i'm skeptical that services should be the future of apple, because that's straying away from what they're best at. services as the long term strategy is a (potentially dangerous) distraction, and apple should keep its eye on the consumer electronics ball.

i wouldn't mention such things if i didn't think it had merit to consider (as a customer, investor, competitor, or simply a spectator). we're on hacker news, not sitting in a trading pit trying to eke out 47 nanoseconds of information asymmetry, so take it for what it's worth.
Why would they be stupid to hold the bitcoin themselves? If they don't hold the private keys, then whoever does could lose them.
Looks nice for a short example, but later you'd also need some stuff like:

let button = new Button("Click me");
window.attach(button, {position: 'center'});

To me, imperative widget creation gets tedious and hard to read pretty fast. I'm not a fan of the many parsing layers involved in the JS example either, but I really appreciate the declarativity they enable.

"The only restriction is that a potential investor has to prove that they realise that the value of an investment can go down as well as up. That, in other words, they're not an idiot, and won't demand that the government "do something about it" when their investment tanks."

So you're saying that isn't possible? Very few people in the ICO space are demanding the government do anything.

Also live outside of the US and you'll realize how untrue your statement is. You'll see very quickly that many services that deal with asset trading are region locked (Robin Hood) for example
JSX is JS. While there's technically 'parsing' involved, it's fundamentally just syntactic sugar:

import { createElement as e } from 'whatever'

return e(App, {}, [
e(Window, { title: 'Example', size: { w: 300, h: 300 }, menuBar: false }, [
e(Button, { stretchy: false, onClick: () => console.log('Hello') }, [
'Button'
])
])
])
Good. If cloud fare is allowed to block sites from their hosting service based on opinions, then att should be allowed to do the same.
