I did a thing as a kid that basically proves it out.

I recorded my home, an afternoon with the family from the speakers that it would be played back from. After some fiddling with a pre amp to get the recording balanced well enough to play back, the effect was pretty effective.

I didn't expect it, but when that recording was played on that system and speakers, it was possible to sit in my room and basically hear the house! TV in the front room, dog walking around, doors closing.

Brought people in late at night to play it. Was spooky to hear midday sounds, and believe them. The illusion was that good.
Hah! As I understand it, machines with TIP have a button they're supposed to press as soon as they see a threat. Then any fake threats go away. Weird that they didn't do that in your case.

NVMe doesn't have much of an advantage over SATA SSDs at QD=1 in the first place. It really shines when you have higher QD or on sequential transfers, which are not typical consumer desktop workloads.

On the other hand, Optane does have a big advantage at QD=1, which is the point people are making here. Looking at NVMe as an indication of Optane performance is the wrong approach since it has very different performance characteristics.

(of course you're not incorrect that games aren't really using access patterns that are optimal for superfast SSDs)
It's exploitative, unsustainable, and highly profitable.
OpenFL could be used to build a "flash emulator", but to be clear, it's not a replacement for the flash player itself. It's a Flash API reimplementation in a similar, but ultimately different language.

If you wanted a Flash Player API using OpenFL, you'd probably use OpenFL for SWF loading + rendering, and then bolt on an existing Actionscript VM for logic.
Yeah, sure, but (a) then those problems potentially also affect the VPN endpoint, so it's still a trade-off (b) much of the complex protocol machinery often is behind the authentication barrier, so the risk of just exposing the port to the public isn't necessarily that big, and (c) a firewall doesn't necessarily protect your vulnerable service, often there are browsers on the inside that an attacker could use to access those "protected" services.

My point isn't that blocking off ports at the firewall is always pointless, but that it's usually a trade-off, and keeping a vulnerable service running behind the firewall can still be a risk, and many "hacking attempts" are just irrelevant if you follow general best security practices, so it's pointless to do anything specifically to prevent them.
Possibly they had funding from early investors on very bad terms. I have worked at a startup that ran into issues with early investors expecting a return before the product launched. Depending on how the terms were negotiated it could be just a bad deal.

I am surprised to not see anything about debugging in the comments here. I can write new code fine with regular distraction without facing too much mental model rebuild downtime, but debugging is something else. The mental model of a complex code base when debugging takes me a long time to rebuild after any interruption.
The problem with the separation is mainly with making changes to code, not with reading the code as it currently exists.

This problem is avoided at no cost in Go, where an external tool can be used to get the same concise view of all of the function types that you like, without needing to manually create and update header files.
Yea this is the exact reason we are leaning towards moving from AngularJS to React.

. Ionic app never feels completely right as components are not as much optimized as platform native.

. If Apple/Google comes up with a new look/style for default components, good luck chasing and updating libs.

If you are targeting for mobile-app and web, just go with react-native.
You can pin files into memory using vmtouch, if you like. Not sure if there is a Windows equivalent.

It would be nice if there was a resident manager that watched for certain processes to be launched and then pinned their directories (or certain files) into memory, then unpinned them when they were shut down.
But your example is a law against witches/gays, not a law against _unethical_ witches/gays. I don't think your example is a fair analogy. The first sentence does in fact imply to me that there must've been some number of people thought to be witches/gays/etc

That's a netflix-wide thing, not specific to that manager.
Normal consumer workloads are heavily biased towards 4K random performance (especially read). Sequential performance is largely inconsequential, both because it's rare (how often do you really suck in a full 20+ GB file at a single go?) and because consumer SSDs are fast enough at sequential performance that it's not really a bottleneck. 500 MB/s sustained is really fast enough for most users.

Streaming video from the internet does not use the SSD at all, and a high-quality 1080p video file is maybe 5-10 MB/s of bitrate, you can easily pull that off a spinning HDD that was manufactured 20 years ago.

Video editing at 4K or 8K is one of the few use-cases where NVMe's sequential performance does provide a big benefit... assuming you are not editing using proxies.

Optane's QD=1 random-4K performance does present an opportunity for big speedups on consumer use-cases. But Intel really has to get the prices down if they want to see consumer adoption, right now there is an obvious benefit to cheaper SATA SSDs that allow you to get more data off spinning-rust drives vs a smaller, massively expensive Optane drive (even if it is incredibly fast).
The article doesn't explain the quality adjustment problem well:

> The problem is, the processor released in 2017 is superior to that sold in 2016 in many tangible ways. But how do you account for the fact that a 2017 processor provides users with more value? In general, statisticians assume the difference in value between the two models is just the difference in their prices. If, say, the 2017 processor costs twice as much as the 2016 one does, then selling one 2017 processor counts as selling two of the 2016 versions in the statisticians’ books.

This makes it sound like the problem is prices rising from year-to-year. The real issue is that the comparison is made with the price of the 2016 processor in 2017. See "methods of quality adjustment" in https://www.bls.gov/ppi/qualityadjustment.pdf

So basically - let's say in 2016 a new CPU costs $200. Then in 2017 Intel releases a new model, prices it also at $200, and sells the old model at $100. The quality adjustment algorithm will see that right now, the new one is selling for twice as much as the old one, and assume that there's been a 2x jump in value per item.

[EDIT: One way of thinking about this is: the method treats clearance prices for last year's model as deflation in this particular market, and adjusts for it.]
Monday at midnight, pretty simple. If you care what day/time the "weekly" event occurs at, the "weekly" literal is not for you.
It's a bit surprising that statisticians and others who study the economy would miss this nuance. If Piper Jaffrey and others can pour into Apple's suppliers to divine whether Apple will meets iPhone shipment expectations, one would think professional economists would peer similarly into the nuts and bolts of the industries they profess to know about.

There was a time the US had an interest in the getting the rest of the work to "Globalize" to stem the Soviet tide. We won, it's over, but the American worker is still getting shafted by the industrialists who loved cheap outsourced labor. Clinton, Bush and Obama either were completely complicit in this or lacked the wherewithal to fight it.

Maybe Kanye along with others can get Americans reluctant to side with current American policies to see the advantages to bringing things back state side --or at least stemming the hemorrhage.

It's not like China or Mexico or anyone else thinks "Oh, those poor Americans who get laid off, who will think of them". Nope, everyone is out for themselves --despite what Globalists say.
FEIW, the need for supporting evidence for unusual positions, stances, opinions, etc. exists regardless of whether “Citation needed” is used in the manner you describe.
Valve (presumably the company you're talking about) is sitting on a money faucet, and while they seem to be good at some things, they're pretty bad at a lot of software/services features which a more traditional management structure could easily do. Flat structure seems like it made more sense for what Valve was 5 years ago than what the product is today.
Maybe there was such a button and they rescan it anyway?

After all they have to ensure that there's no other dodgy stuff in there, which may have been obscured by the imposed image.
Yeah, in some sense this is the system working as expected.

The Maintainer’s Paradox: Balancing Project and Community
Right now that includes Dark Matter...
I have heard some physicist friends of mine speculate that perhaps space and time themselves are just statistical ensembles of entanglement. At the macro scale, we can measure distances and read clocks, but at the micro scale it’s like trying to measure the temperature of a single electron. Perhaps the definition of “close by” is just two states that are highly entangled. Since entanglement is contagious, this leads to clustering. It’s not clear why this would lead to 4 dimensional space time, and I’m not a physicist, but I thought it was an interesting idea.
"So much time" means they are taking longer than they need to. There is no reason a weekly 1:1 needs to take more than a more than a couple if minutes in some cases: "I'm still buried in $project", "Need anything from me?", "No, I'm good".

It does seem natural for people to want to fill some minimum time period though. I always seem to be the one calling "anything else for this meeting?" to cut them short before the rambling sets in. If nobody is guiding the meeting, then it is your job.
My point is that a chart like that doesn't even hint at how much of that "real estate" activity is a direct result of the needs of "conservative" industries. It certainly stands to reason that something like resource extraction is not just land-intensive but is intensive in changes to land ownership/tenancy.

I'm pretty confident that someone who, according to that chart, is in the "real estate" industry who works selling houses in newly-built mining towns knows full well what industry really supplies his income.
Hi guys... I posted this a couple of weeks ago and it didn't get much traction. I have been working on adding functionality since then, improving the tutorial, etc...

My biggest concern at the moment is that the game isn't... well... fun.

At the moment I suppose technically its more of a simulator than a game - nothing is really gamified.

Any thoughts would be most appreciated :)
You are forgetting financial burden (short vs long term) and technological investment. It kind of reminds me of the state of Chrysler vs Toyota in the 90s.
> > I don't believe we're as special as we think we are

> I don't like the premise.

I don't like the implied conclusion. Why shouldn't you be allowed to feel special or enjoy it or request that unpleasant things don't happen unless absolutely necessary?

What merit is there in saying "well you can actually cope with interruptions even though you hate them, and because you can you now have to, pleb".

(And in the post and the replies to it, where's any concept that different people are different and think about things differently?)
You’re not alone, although we are hard to employ in the BA it feels. I feel it’s partially due to the prevalence of divide and conquer and creatives’ pattern recognition, I’ve also been pushed off a hand worth of jobs since moving here for non-performance reasons (ie. social/cultural), leaving me pretty apprehensive and alone with damaged confidence. Not watching Silicon Valley or Black Mirror feels like the next outgroup indicator in development. The latter experience alone is enough to scare off any manager who wants to talk life outside of work (never mind my extensive pre-sf success and big circles, I must disclaim, I still feel like a good person who just wants to move on and thrive personally and professionally).
Are we reading the same FA? The one I read was about a neutron star collision/merger, and a triple star system with a pulsar, and also a double-pulsar system. The word 'spiral' does not appear.
There aren't a dozen different languages. I'm not even sure that there's a single one with an attractive story on Windows + macOS + Linux. Gtk doesn't work well on anything other than Linux/Unix (not macOS).

So it's mostly Qt vs Electron. Having to compile different binaries for every Linux distro and version makes Qt a non-starter for most. And if you're going to compile it statically to try to avoid that dynamic linking nightmare, you just added more bloat to your download than Electron.

Qt is hardly a popular toolkit for Windows and macOS apps.

And if I use Electron and React, I get to add native-ish mobile apps for little extra work by using React Native there.
But not necessarily as a sequential read.
I'm a little doubtful, on the basis that it would take HDD users about three minutes to load into the game (probably 4, by the time you start doing something with all those assets). I know HDDs are slow, but 4 minutes of loading is extremely excessive by any standard.

Also, on PS3 it runs in less than 256 MB of RAM... where is it loading these assets to? Most games have RAM consumption on the order of 4-8 GB in most situations, not all of that is assets, and not all of that is read sequentially.
I'm well aware, which is why I specified a naive interpretation. Still, are you actually saying that transistor count increase in the range of a multiple of 1024 hasn't been matched by comparable CPU performance improvements during that time?
Well, it's always seemed ad hoc to me.

But then, IANAP so hey.
This has been my experience. Serverless is frustrating beyond belief. I haven’t deployed to production yet so maybe we’ll realize benefits enough to warrant the frustration at that time but so far I have serious doubts.
Just saying "sorry can't talk now" to people doesn't really break me away from being able to solve a problem or loose my train of thought. Other people I work with don't understand this and move on. Being interrupted is never a big deal as long as the person knows to leave me alone if I'm not ready to talk and the interaction is short.

Distraction is more of a problem for me when the environment is loud and there are people having other conversations nearby or other things going on that I can't control.
Every story about facebook now portrays them as satan.

I don't even like facebook but this is definitely a trend.
Alternatively, universities could act as startup incubators, a la SRI (Stanford Research Institute, who created the prototype for Siri.)

Professors are being paid below market value for their skills. If tenure came with a replenishing bucket of venture capital, under stipulation of open source/patent sharing, it'd give them real money, autonomy and great internships for their students!

Schools would make bank, too.
Anybody know where to buy a good sextant? (I hope the course discusses this; I haven't had time to read it yet.) I started trying to learn this stuff a few months ago and it seems that most available sextants fall into two categories: Cheap plastic ones with poor thermal characteristics that make them inaccurate, and expensive brass ones that are more thermally stable but designed for display and not calibrated for serious navigation. I'd like to buy one in between: A quality navigational instrument that doesn't have to be "pretty".
Writing code takes effectively no time, reading and reasoning is the primary concern (for me anyway).

> It doesn't mention "concerted" though

Yes, it does. Here is the entire verb entry from that link:

1690s, "to contrive, adjust;" 1707, "to contrive and arrange mutually," from French concerter and directly from Italian concertare "to bring into agreement" (see concert (n.)). Related: Concerted; concerting

See it?
> It's not an either or situation.

I'm a bit confused.. are you agreeing or disagreeing? My point was to call out a false dichotomy and offer a third option.

> It's not about always looking at software

Yet that's exactly what happens. Software engineers completely dominate the field, including management, so they always look at software and only software.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make now. Your original comment was that you would be fine if ad-supported publishing went away because there are other models. I'm telling you that there are none that come close to the scale of advertising. The examples you cited either do not produce content or are a microscopic part of the media landscape. Tastes are also subjective and what you call low-quality might be exactly what someone else is looking for.

Anyways, if advertising went away, a massive amount of media you see today would also disappear. You would definitely notice that.

And that's before even getting to the even more massive impact it would make on the economy since every major company today relies on advertising for growth and sales. It's easy to look at few annoying banner ads and say that they suck, but this is a 12-figure global industry that plays a critical part in the economy. It's just not that simple.
I don’t think it’s necessary, I think solution I posted works for any distribution (but obviously only gives you an edge for some distributions).
How to Compile and Install Nautilus on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
As a stupid and impatient person, I didn't get to the end of the article the first time i looked at it. After I saw you wrote it I went back to check if you mentioned ublock by name.

You might want to have something below the header and above the lede that says "hey just before we go any further, the solution is to use ublock origin instead of adblock." And even better, a big image of adblock with another, bigger red "no" symbol over it (in addition to the one that's already in the logo i guess) and then a check mark next to ublock origin. Like I said, I'm stupid. It's an interesting article but i already knew adblock plus was sketchy so I didn't finish.
Hmmm... If Ininterpret their proof (i.e. “Puzzle 2”) correctly, they prove that there’s no deterministic solution that yields probability > 50% for any two numbers... the idea of the solution I posted (which is deterministic) is that you have >= 50% for all numbers, and > 50% for some numbers.
Do you know of good tutorials on ttk? I keep on reading that the look and feel provided by ttk is much more native than tk, but I can hardly find a good relevant tutorial.

Look at it this way: this is $627b that have not been spent on schools, education, health or infrastructure. What could have been the return on those?

It is $627b that have been spent to disrupt and hinder potentially flourishing competition. It's $627b spent to foster centralised industries and strengthen companies that already have a pretty high market share.

The bailout program is massive and it is an absolute disaster and one of the most undemocratic acts that western nations have done in the recent decades... I mean they gave free money to Goldman Sachs! That is Goldman Sachs, the company that probably has the highest number of alumnis amongst presidents of countries and leaders of the most powerful state/international instituitions. And a company that keeps running at a pretty decent profit margin...

Why should these organisations get free money when the rest is told to work for it?

Here are two dictionary entries that do support using "concerted" to apply to a single person:

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/concerted (entry 1.1)

Note also that your link #4 references the Oxford English Dictionary, which is where the first link I give above comes from. The argument given in your link #4 seems plausible, but given the fact that there are reputable sources leaning both ways, I don't think you can say the single person usage is simply wrong. Perhaps "uncommon" might be a better term.
