because....they only offered .deb files and I wasnt running debian or ubuntu (nor do I like to bother with it in containers I'm building myself b.c. i have no clue about debian)

the package in question has since finally offered .rpms but i haven't had time / interest in updating it. this is wifi software I'm running personally, ubiquiti only supports the windows/mac versions of it in any case.
Hilarious because it's true. This is my favorite comment of the day.

The assembly that comes out of GCC is human readable too (the actual assembling occurs via a different program from a different project than GCC). Is GCC a transpiler?
One of the problems with that approach is that a wholesale monopoly selling to various competitive retail ISPs will still end up capturing all the economic surplus.

So you end up having to regulate how much profit that wholesale monopoly is allowed to make.
Given the old site was built off of older libraries/frameworks and the newer site is presumably built using more modern ones, wouldn't this be an indicator of latest tools being heavier and/or more bloated?

If you built a computer with a squillion chips that was a light-year long, it would take a year at minimum to get a message from one side of the computer to the other. The same issue applies on a smaller scale for smaller computers
That’s why people move to the suburbs and exurbs to avoid urban violence but end up with higher non natural death rates due to the greater than offsetting increase in auto deaths.
Yes. I was not sure how familiar people are with joules, so as I said in the post:

> (In the headline I used GW because people are more familiar with that, and it's kind of the same.)

Saying "kind of the same" won't please engineers who know what they're talking about and are used to correct units, but for the general public who won't read beyond the headline and (if I'm lucky) the conclusion, I think it's close enough. I am just hoping to get people's attention to the fact that an inefficiently coded redesign of the 6th largest website on the planet has impact.
Depends on the circumstances. One person dying on a commercial airliner recently became very newsworthy.
I and my fellow field biologists have never had a negative reaction to sulfur - but you might be sensitive, and this is not medical advice, etc. It works by slowly reacting to moisture and creating a toxic cloud of hydrogen sulfide near the skin which drives all arthropods away (even makes "seed ticks" - ie groups of freshly hatched ticks - jump off your skin if you already have them on you). In the past I could get "sublimed sulfur" or "flowers of sulfur" at pharmacies, but as it got hard to find I bought a large almost lifetime supply. Now I would look at one of these:

(perhaps the Humco in particular). I create a powder puff from some powder in a sock which I keep in zip lock bag. Then I can knock the puff against socks, pants and skin.

The downside is that if you do this often and you wash your socks with your shirts, I have found that there are dance partners that can pick up a whiff of brimstone (not terrible but a little off putting).
Thank heavens people are starting to point this out.

The last devops team I worked on had an obsession with shiny. Never mind that they couldn't bootstrap a new base database for their application anymore or automate the entire application deployment (even with a phased approach) on either VMware or AWS. They wanted to keep piling new tools (often with sub 1.0 version numbers) of new tools on top of an unstable foundation, and would just shrug when it fell apart in production (which it commonly did).

I tried pointing out to them that by giving commit access to their internal puppet git repository to every developer in the building, they had effectively given root access to them as well. All I received were shrugs and blank looks all around.

One thing from the article that doesn't seem to be discussed enough here in the comments is trend of pulling random Docker images from the internet and deploying on your infrastructure simply because it's easier to integrate random versions with feature X than maintain your own builds, or work with the vendor's provided packages to achieve the same result. The security implications of this in particular has been bugging me for years.
You could say the same about bias on contentious issues: "tribalism is an evolutionary trait, so such-and-such a news outlet's tendentious coverage isn't surprising".

Or about poor software design: "Concrete thinking is natural, so it's not surprising the engineers didn't think through possible surprising codepaths".

Journalism aspires to be, at its best, a profession whose associated skills, standards, and ethics exist precisely to countermand the kinds of 'unsurprising' traits you mention. As with reducing bias, application of rational news values is never going to be perfect. But like other skills, it can be improved.
How can it abandon a mandate that never existed? It's "Don't be evil," which has an entirely different meaning. Due to opportunity cost, everything you do can be considered at least a little bit evil, so "Do no evil" is not even possible.
When converting 68GJ to another unit of energy, it would be 18,888KWh or ~18GWh (note that h!).

EDIT: But of course, 18GWh/68GJ "per month" also gives us an average continuous power consumption of 26KW, as you have said.
I've been using the old format, only partly because of this. Mostly I just prefer the old look -- simpler, cleaner, easier.
It's completely true. I do recruiting for non-tech roles (sales, marketing, design). A few years ago, I'd visit a foreign university, and they'd see USA on my badge, and would start flocking to me. Now all I get is heckling about sexism and stealing people's data. We really need to clean up our act.
Regarding your concerns about Docker, I agree with that (even though I've been working on Docker and in the wider container community for almost 5 years now). However, there are plenty of tools that are compatible with Docker but provide similar benefits.

For instance, (from the openSUSE community which I'm a part of) we have KIWI that provides builds with full introspection on a package level (similar to what you're doing with Guix). If you build the image inside OBS (our build system) then if a dependency of your image is updated then your image will be rebuilt automatically and published in OBS (where it can be further pushed to any Docker/OCI registry you like). The packages are signed, and the image is also "signed" (though it currently signs the image artifact and doesn't use image signing since that is still not standardised). And most packages in openSUSE are bitreproducible (we build everything in OBS).

The above is far and above much better than the current standard in the "official" world of Docker, but unfortunately because OBS has a UI from the early 2000s (which is when it was written) it doesn't get enough attention outside of the communities that use it (and enjoy using it a lot). Everyone wants Dockerfiles even though they cannot provide these features (and you cannot get package manifests of your images without running a package manager in the image, which means you cannot get vulnerability information from the manifest).

[ Though I'm mostly talking about openSUSE here, I also happen to work for SUSE on the containers team. ]
Rather than just being flat out wrong, why not use gigawatt-hours which is a well known unit.
thats not a glowing recommendation of he system though because our electrical network is all kinds of expensive

Yes. The distribution monopolies are only allowed to make a fair rate of return on their operating and capital expenses, as determined by the independent regulator (this is to prevent them from raising their prices to the point that they capture all the economic surplus, as they otherwise would). Unfortunately this has incentivised over-investment in the distribution networks (the more they spend, the more profit they're allowed to make) - referred to as "gold-plating" - which ends up being passed on in the prices faced by consumers.

Specific to the ISP issue, this is how the NBN works in Australia too - the NBN provides the underlying network, but isn't a retail ISP itself.
Almost certainly, their cash cow server market is still stuck on 14nm for next year.
I'm not sure I follow your logic. First off, he didn't say that Republicans are reprehensible. He said that voting for a Republican implies that you are voting for a lot of reprehensible stuff (by proxy through your Republican representative). Reprehensible doesn't mean "I don't agree with". Over the years I've had disagreements with both parties (and have voted for members of both parties). However, with the increased polarization in Congress, I don't think it is unfair to say that Republican behavior and the Republican platform has largely become reprehensible. That certainly doesn't mean all Republicans politicians have reprehensible views - just that they are too cowardly to vote against their party when they should be doing so.

The OP is suggesting that he wants to use his vote to encourage a Republican to do the right thing on a very narrow issue. The parent is effectively saying this focuses on a single tree instead of the entire forest. In a two-party system you are effectively voting for the entire platform and not for a single issue, so I have no idea why you consider his critique absolutist.
How is the word tensor misused? I thought it was just an n-dimensional array of numbers?
History of Famine and Famine Mortality Over Time
I do not understand what extra functionality is gained by making the site so much slower. I go on Reddit primarily for text content. Threaded comments and HTML <a> tags.

WHY does it NEED to be so SLOW?

For this degree of sluggishness, it feels like you could build a site that fulfills all of reddit's functionality—and have a crypto miner running in the background.
Whether or not it's an illegal security offering, I'm not entirely sure because I don't fully understand the law. However, a hypothetical example of one purported not to be illegal would be something like crowdfunding a game. You sell tokens that will be redeemed for a copy of the game when it is finished. This would allow people who change their mind half way through to freely sell their game token to someone else who wants to buy the game (presumably at a loss since otherwise the other person would just buy the game token from the developers). There are probably lots of places where you might get in trouble though. For example, if you increased the price of the token over time, then people might buy the initial token with the expectation that they will be able to sell it for a profit later, when the developer-bought token becomes more expensive. Especially if you state that the price will increase over time, I think you're going to be in trouble (but, like I said, I don't really understand that law).

I think such a scheme, if done carefully, might actually be useful. One of the problems with things like kickstarter is that you see the plan of what's going to be done, fund the project and then half way through you see that the plan has changed, or the delivery schedule has changed and you want out. There is no way to derisk your pre-purchase.

Having said that, I have seen no actual examples of ICOs that I think are legal.
Is there a community around this like /r/churning?

The old site also did mostly server-side rendering while the new site is largely client-side rendering of structured data.

One of those isn't necessarily heavier-weight than the other, but it does shift the energy usage from the company's data-center to the user's computer or mobile device. Server-side rendering also opens up more opportunities for cross-user caching, which AIUI Reddit used extensively.
I agree some of this is happening but some things don't add up.

Is there a huge delay in this data? Because why don't law agencies use it to find criminals? Like I have 2 crimes at these two locations. Who was around these 2 locations at these times etc.

But if hedge funds are trading on it, they need very low latencies?
RE: why not use trains.

I probably wasn't clear in my original comment. The last mile problem refers specifically to one of the main cited inconveniences of public transit systems. You can't pull a train or a bus up to your driveway because it is fundamentally a shared system.

In this scenario, allowing cars to drive off of the freeway (the last mile) would get around this issue.
The designers do a lot of product development-- or it seems that way based n the narrative. The website is not AirBnBs product, they sell the entire experience. I get the sense it is a much more designer centric place than engineering.That said, i am sure the engineers are optimizing not only the site but the reams of inbound data that comes with a global business. Clearly they must defend against fraud, protect their users, do identity verification and other data intensive predictions. Its up to you whether these are "hard" or "interesting" but they probably do have a ton going on at their scale and while it is conparatively simple to google/fb i think you are dismissing a lot of challenges that may not be immeadiately obvious.

This is like asking a performance engineer to optimize the accuracy of a machine learning model, and the engineer fired up gprof. No hire.

This is pretty cool! I'm curious if emscripten/webassembly on the canonical git implementation was considered though? (Or is the environment just too different?)
Wait, but if those hypothetically competitive startups can only compete because they can trample my privacy, why the heck do I want them?

I mean, it’s not like Facebook and Google aren’t already big enough to smother would-be competition in the cradle. In the other scenario competition may still be smothered, but I still get some regulatory privacy protections.

EDIT: Also, as a matter of principle, I’d gladly see dozens of startups burn if it meant broad privacy protection were enacted.
If you live in a city with many independent theaters showing limited releases and foreign films, 31 movies per month isn't enough to scratch the surface.

PS. Staff at indie theaters tell me that 70-80% of tickets are purchased with Moviepass cards.

It's not that hard to specify kW.h, which is what people are used to paying for in their utility bills.

18888.9 kW.h are worth about 3k USD, depending on your local rates.

Who knows if they are, but it's generally courteous to ship data to an external party in a fairly universal format. For tables, it doesn't get much more universal than CSV.
It checks overlongs. It's not too hard -- a few bits in the first byte, and a few in the second for some lengths.
> UTMs offer a transparent, honest way of tracking where a user is coming from.

Thank you for the offer, but I need no tracking of my movements.

> Marketing is not evil.

It is evil. Every time I search for info, I need to filter out all the marketing bullshit from google results. All marketing is a lie or at least a manipulation with one goal to make me buy something that I wouldn't buy otherwise.

So I will do all I can to make life of marketers harder. I just hate them for all their informational white noise in the Internet.
i believe they're referencing the southwest airlines flight in which an engine had an explosive failure and the shrapnel from that explosion went through the plane's main compartment windows, killing one passenger and maybe injuring a few more, i cant quite remember
I think of MoviePass as very similar to Groupon. Their business model eventually eats itself and the growth in unsustainable, but at the end of the day they are still ok.

Sure Groupon's stock went from $30 to $5, but the company still exists, and is a solid part of the marketplace.
>The only real question is whether there are enough people capable of this out there. I think there would be if we set it up as a general expectation.

That strikes me as merely wishful thinking. It's not as if there isn't already research on human cognitive abilities in general.

Do you have any scientific basis for thinking engineers are merely being held back by our acceptance of specialization, rather than by inherent cognitive limitations?
This reminds me of a supposed quote by Joseph Stalin:

Anyone from reddit's dev team reading this? Or youtube's dev team, because my question applies to both.

The previous design was great. The new version of both sites is slow, sluggish and provides me with no benefit. Why was the change implemented? The previous design wasn't broken!

How's the user feedback? A/B testing really indicated to you this was a good choice?!

If you have any insight -- I'm sure this was a decision made much higher up than dev -- please do share.
I second this. I've been using gandi.net for a few years now and have had nothing but good experiences with them.

Seems every thread about something built in javascript is full of people bashing it.

But if the new website takes more power, and we know that there are roughly X million pageloads a month, then we know it will use a lot more, right?

> watts aren’t joules

The very definition of a Watt is one joule per second. Not the same, definitely, but it's close and in specific cases 1:1 convertible.
I think it's a pretty good idea actually, because with standard deviations (and means, of course) you can run statistical tests to make sure your improvements are statistically significant and not due to chance. I hope the candidate had a chance to explain themselves before he got no-hired.
> But if hedge funds are trading on it, they need very low latencies?

Not quite. Hedge funds aren't trading real time on this data. They use this data to essentially figure out how a business is doing before they announce that information. Essentially, if x% of our data went to Chipotle in 2016 and y% went in 2017, and y >> x, then we expect Chipotle's earnings to be higher.
Numbers can export in Excel format.
yes, that's because they are 10 years old as opposed to 10,000, but I am not sure where you are going with this. At the very minimum, getting rid of them would cause investor losses of hundreds of billions.
Because you're not compliant, and a compliant candidate is easier for them to place. If you won't reformat your resume to look like pretty much everyone else's, how can they count on you to take a bunch of pointless phone calls for positions that may only vaguely match your skillset in the hopes that one is a match and they get their blood money?
I want statistics on the outcomes for people who ignore statistics, people who take statistics much less seriously than their gut, people who take gut much less seriously than their statistics, and people who ignore their gut.

My gut feeling is that the outcomes for people who use their gut over statistics are significantly better. And if you showed me statistics that they aren't, I'd trust my gut on it.

The ranking looks like it matches the frequency of occurrence pretty closely. So it's not surprising news outlets report on deaths that happen in uncommon ways even if a much larger number of people just died from a more common cause of death.
Well this is pretty much how it works in NZ.

We had a state owned company, telecom, which was then privatised by a National govt., and then as a response to local loop unbundling regulations from Labour, it split itself into two companies, telecom (now spark) for retail and chorus for infrastructure.

That's 1/7.5x the TDP, not 7.5x as efficient. Efficiency is measured in units like requests served per joule. ARM processors typically use less power but also do less work per unit time.
