A few years back, the company I’m currently at started working on NodeGit because a pure JavaScript implementation they tried (not this one? Idk I wasn’t there) was far too slow. Right now, we’re working on a git server in rust that takes commands and passes data over TCP that ideally could enable git usage in the browser for like hosted development environments and such.
I am surprised this even passed the Senate. It is almost as if Senators want to get re-elected.
"slavery did not benefit the Indian economy, nor the Kenyan economy, etc."

Right, obviously. The reason why Britain invaded is because they wanted India and Kenya to work for Britain. Slavery benefited Britain.
If you are working from home in Canada (as a self-employed individual), you can claim some of those expenses on your taxes entirely, and a portion of some others.

I can write off my entire phone and internet bills and all office supplies. I can also include a portion of my rent (or mortgage) and utilities proportional to the size of my office and the total square footage of the dwelling. The actual list of claim-able expenses does not end there.

I also burn a hell of a lot less fuel since I have no commute.
The problem with blanket policies like this for an entire organization is that they don't consider the type of work being done. A publicist for example has as their job to distribute information publicly, you aren't helping them by making it impossible to drop off a USB key to someone. A software developer has a need to install operating systems much more frequently than an average user. You can net-install but usb media is still a major vector.

The vast majority of people in an organization don't work with sensitive material. It makes much more sense to do this on a per department basis.

Policies like this that ignore on the ground reality and make it hard to get work done encourage abuse of the rules. When the rules are too draconian people will work around them and it encourages disrespect for other rules - especially the ones that actually do improve security.
The question is what's on them ;)
Same here for hover. Customer support is excellent and emails about expiring or renewing domains are timely.
Interesting I didn't know this existed. Is there a way to layer sqlar like docker images? (Besides just tarring them up I guess.)

I wonder if this could be implemented with the WAL/journal system. Make each layer immutably append to the previous layers to make restarting at any layer trivial. I'm not sure if there's such a way to hook into the journal directly like that though.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. If there was a Go->Bash transpiler (or a JS->Bash one), yes, we would theoretically end up with a Bash parser and interpreter in Bash.

Education Spending II
'MoviePass inspired me to start my $20 bill club where you send me $10/mo and I send you a $20 bill in the mail.'

Hey - that just might work - once you've shown enough traction and proven demand for DollarPass monthly membership subscriptions, then you should be able to go to USA.gov and negotiate a bulk pricing on $20 bills at a sig-ni-fi-cant discount. Plus if you had a payment app so the end user could pay for stuff with the $20, you could show the user ads and charge a fee of every transaction. You could also track their GPS location 24/7 and sell that.

It's all about leveraging and fully monetizing your captive user base!

The highest ARM TDP available now is 2w from the Cortex-A75. That's 7.5x as efficient.

The current Intel 8109u scores about 2x the IPC of the A75 (the main core in the Snapdragon 845). So assuming a generous increase of 15%, the same story as the last 5ish years. ARM is much more efficient; but Intel has more total processing power (especially in the higher power envelopes).

I agree. And reading through the article, I didn't really see any argument made against why what Musk, Zuckerberg, or Bezos are doing is unethical.

When all is said and done, Bill Gates will go down as the person who saved more human lives in a systematic and deliberate way than any other human in history. We need people like him. We also need people like Jeff Bezos, who seems to naturally operate on a super long-term thinking mental model. I've said it before on here: Thousands of years from now there will be hundreds of billions, if not trillions, of people populating multiple star systems in this galaxy. Their existence will be due to the efforts of people like Bezos and Musk, and the steps they are taking today to address space travel and AI.
Ask to do more work? Maybe they are not aware that you are just hanging out.

And if your manager doesn't do anything about it, it's a management problem, so go above him and say "Hey, I need more work. I complete everything, have asked my manager, but still I sit around".
I think the way you're looking at this is really important, and something that's being lost in the vehement support of NN.

Intellectual honesty demands that we admit that there really are problems with NN as it had been implemented. Trying to fit the technology of a massive packet-switched data network into very specific regulations designed for an ancient circuit-switched primarily voice network really was a kluge. The FCC while they were supporting it needed to take a lot of "poetic license" with the letter of the law just to get it to make sense at all.

While it's a a big burden being forced to start from scratch, it's also an opportunity to craft something that better matches the way our systems work today. Doing so removes the uncertainty and political caprice that comes from an unelected agency making the calls.
OH NO! Someone might lose a few dollars because they can't vacuum up my personal data and sell it for their personal gain! Heaven forbid!
Nobody in Congress had a view on net neutrality until they were paid to. Because it's a largely invented issue between those groups of corporations. ISPs want to charge tech companies more for the traffic they generate, and tech companies don't want to pay it. Those companies were already donating to politicians which align with their own views... but primarily because of their views on other topics.

Is there a more appropriate word for source-to-source transformation? I understand that compilers aren't that different, but generating machine code is quite different.
Fair enough.

I'm drawing a distinction between free speech (specifically parrhesia, which is orthogonal to privacy) and freedom to learn anything about anyone (which is antithetical to privacy). In journalism they are combined, usually to good effect; in doxxing the combination is bad.
But what would a script do in such a limited situation? There are a lot of narrow use cases, but those are very much platform dependent, so no reason to use POSIX everywhere. Use whatever is best on that specific busybox thing.
Again, this is meaningless. Currently the future of net neutrality is the decision of the courts, and if this miraculously passes the house and president, the future remains in the hands of the courts.

A new law is necessary to guarantee net neutrality. This has been known for over twelve years, both Clinton and Obama cosponsored a bill on it in 2006, but so far neither party has made any serious move towards passing a bill.
Positive cash flow is actually way more important than profit, although you should have both ideally. If you are running a positive cash flow business with good growth and accurate depreciation numbers on fixed assets, you are in a better position than a profitable microbusiness in a small market. Amazon's breakthrough wasn't realizing this, it was realizing how big the ecommerce market was and how to grow to be able to address the whole market using cash flow to invest. They also used a large pile of investment to get there along the way too. (Four negative cash flow years in their history according to this)): https://realmoney.thestreet.com/articles/08/12/2016/comparin...

Not gonna predict the future 1-2 decades out, since that's a fool's errand, but here's a grab bag of relevant points:

1. Moore's Law is undoubtedly slowing, but in the foreseeable future, it will likely continue. On the other hand, Dennnard Scaling which is already basically dead, will be the crunch you will likely feel more. Exponential transistors aren't too useful if they still consume so much power. To mitigate leakage we moved to FinFETs... Which actually made dynamic power worse.

2. You might be interested to know that data movement (predominantly memory access) costs orders of magnitude more than computation, especially relevant to AI compute which requires large amounts of access. These global wires already suck and don't seem to be getting any better in the foreseeable future.

3. Foundries have already been using (and thus expending) "scaling boosters" to reach their density goals. Most of these are one-time use effects that won't provide significant continuous scaling capability.
That's an interesting example of usage. I was actually familiar with compute shaders but hadn't connected it with the sort of usage we see in the headline.

So it seems like a big part of how it's being used is to refer to a generalized computation service—some 'function' you're given access to which takes arbitrary programs as a parameter.

Seems like there's often the implication that how the computation is performed is abstracted over and that more or fewer resources could be applied to it—though that's not necessarily there (absent in the case of compute shaders for instance).
ICANN ran out of fucks to give a decade ago.
.com won't be gone.

The character limit on DNS is 253; so you've got enough space to be imaginative.

Further; if your startup name is already taken, then you probably should make a new name. Someone who just browses the site won't be able to remember if it was a .io, or a .xyz, or .space. They really don't care, and the first thing they'll try is .com, since that was/is the unwritten standard.

Central banks are pumping out new money in form debt of close to zero interest rates. This is below market rate interest rates if the market would freely choose the interest rate would be higher. The new money flows to automation in startups that makes processes cheaper. Thus the central banks are not creating inflation through salary inflation they are creating deflation through automation. Robots on average replace 5.7 humans. Software is also a form of automation.

Thus the central banks keep printing new money in hope for inflation but the process where the money flows are creating deflation.

Oh yeah you don’t have admin rights or they are restricted via UAC and an agent that allows you to promote only certain apps and then restricts inheritance of permissions from these apps.

The results for DNS is cached, often by both browser and ISP resolver, so it's tough to determine the actual query rate for high traffic sites.
Great news. Was going to ask same question :)
DNS results typically get cached for at least a few minutes, and most users use ISP or public DNS servers (eg, Google, CloudFlare, etc) which only do the lookup once for many users, so your authoritative DNS server will see only a fraction of the number of web requests you actually handle. I'd guess for most sites this is probably below 1% in terms of requests per second.
I think that the point being made is that he's saying this to position himself in such a way as having a politically mindful voice, which is relevant considering what he's saying.
> DevOps "fashion" meaning fewer people configure their own server stack in the startup world now.

Sure, to some extent (devops still means you need to design networks, it's just that individual server instances matter less) but that didn't change suddenly between 2016 to 2017.
> In those examples, however, the meaning is, in current usage, 'calculation' or 'computation', not as a measure of computational work.

So is the OP:

"We’re releasing an analysis showing that since 2012, the amount of compute [amount of calculation, amount of computation] used in the largest AI training runs has been increasing exponentially with a 3.5 month-doubling time "

Without loss of meaning, title could be AI and Calculation, or AI and Computation
I feel like the root problem is lack of competition at the ISP level. If we had that, net neutrality regulation would likely not be necessary. Instead we're trying to fix a bad regulatory environment with even more regulations.

> (even though meaningful use case is yet to be shown, but there is chance it will be found)

One use case is having a repository UI completely in a browser so the backend can be a pure git server with no specialized backend code to display commits, blobs etc.

This way a browser becomes just another git client.

Any host based DLP will monitor and block screen caps you also need to get them out some how.

Sure no DLP solution would beat pen and paper but that’s not a good way to exfiltrate data these days and a security guard checking people leaving a restricted area would be a good enough way to plug any leaks.

The only other ones I’ve used for any serious amount of time were Bugzilla, Trac and ClearDDTS. I also dabble with GitHub Issues.

Bugzilla is another functional-but-not-ideal one. It just seemed bulky somehow; I don’t tend to want a lot.

Trac is probably my favorite but it tends to work best if you can adopt it all at once (code, wiki, etc.). At the time I was using Subversion, which it could tie into well. I don’t know if it handles “git”. It has a nice wiki format. Everything cross-links easily.

DDTS is quite old but was surprisingly robust and versatile (probably not even sold anymore though). It had a very Unix-style design with many commands, text file formats with a side database, and a web wrapper over it all that has page templates, etc. It does issue tracking and as far as I know it doesn’t integrate with anything else (no special knowledge of revision control...maybe ClearCASE?).
But even when a Christian church is the official church of the State, they are still distinct entities, as opposed to the Islamic model.

A question: Do you think your choice of technology stack (JavaScript, node.js) played a part in your success?

I've read many times from product creators that developers wildly overestimate the importance of choosing a language or technology stack when in fact it has little bearing on whether a product will succeed.

Do you have any thoughts on this topic?

Amazon already is very profitable. For a certain group of people. And on the backs of other people.

It's a matter of how you define profit. Or rather, whose profit you're looking at. (And, ergo, what profit is actually driving the business forward.)

How does that follow? They're considering the needs of untold billions of individuals not yet born; I would say that it's heartless to consider the needs of those billions presently alive to the exclusion of those not-yet-living. Self-serving, even.

Presumably they use network security devices and can see every bit of data that leaves their network to flag possible exfil. Devices like those in use at a company I used to work for man-in-the-middle all HTTPS traffic (using certificates from a CA that corporate IT pushes to all workstations/phones under corporate control, so they're trusted), man-in-the-middles SSH traffic (presumably assuming users just always answer "yes" to the "is this the right key?" question, or the user says no in which case the connection is effectively blocked, so either way the network security device wins), etc. Data exfiltration via USB key is a very real threat that is largely invisible to the company when it happens... no audit trail or anything to look back at.

Amazon simply does not need to have cash on hand. They can attain massive profits at literally any point by just increasing their margins ever so slightly across whatever business lines they operate in. This is the benefit of the scale they operate at.
I think a hybrid approach would be to show the new submissions list after the front page list, after the fold (maybe having a delimiter separating them). That way new stories still get exposure to everyone by default (of course, this should also be a user option where they can turn this on or off, but default to on).
