That's certainly true for PCIe lanes, though their memory channel density is unremarkable. (I've also read about cache latency affecting database performance, but I'm not sure what to think of that consindering how synthetic benchmarks usually are).

Historically, I've had trouble convincing management to get anywhere close to reaching the capacity of a server's PCIe lanes, possibly because of a general ignorance around direct attached (but external) storage options, but the popularity of NVMe may change that.

Now the challenge may become convincing people that 128 lanes per CPU is better than 40.

There's also the (extension of the perpetual challenge) that the mere existence of such a price-competitive option to Intel means one doesn't have to panic at the slightest hint of scale and invest immense engineering effort and non-linear infastructure cost into a distributed database to replace a "single"/central [1] RDMBS.

[1] With all the usual replicas and caches for performance (and failover), as is the point of the article.
Thank you , this is very helpful
I don't know if it's the use-case they had in mind, but where I work we allow trusted clients to edit their custom CSS file for our CRM.

In the past, people would request ftp/ssh. Setting up git and auto-deploy with custom scripts didn't scale well. Our clients seem very content with WebIDE. They can do quick edits and barely know they are using git.
I think you are missing the point, VCs, the corporate entities DJF, Sequoia etc are not landlords. But their millionaire/billioniare founders and partners almost certainly are.
Hoping these will help you.

So if I give my Costco-member friend $100 and ask her to buy me four $25 Costco Cash cards, would that let me make four trips without buying my own membership? That seems like all I'd need in a year...
Appreciated. That gives me some things to look into. Cheers
Whereas the US has always played fair in the global market and never used its dollar position, tarriffs, sanction, invasions etc for market advantage?
it doesn't really need a full featured editor, but being able to at least do quick edits on the web is nice
Okay, but then I have to ask - how is this more convenient than Wordpress.com or Tumblr?
Ah, thank you for the clarification.
Where is deep east Oakland? can you give me a landmark?
There's no evidence that pre-civilization humans had monogamous family units. In fact, in pre-contact Hawaii, it's well documented that they didn't practice monogamy at all, except among the royal families.

If you use a secure hash on the banned passwords they will be random (as good as arbitrary), then just truncate them to 7-8 bits and sort by prefix, searching them using binary search. It will be more efficient than a Bloom filter because there can be zero empty space between entries. It creates a structure similar to a Bloom filter but with no wasted space (no empty entries)

A Bloom filter is great when you need a probabilistic hash table that is fairly efficient and can have records added efficiently.

With a fixed list as I described above, the insertion cost is enormous (avg cost of moving 1/2 of the array elements), but the space/speed efficiency reaches the theoretical limit
Have you actually been to those places before, or are you just assuming they're all saturated with bigots? Austin is known for being a very liberal city.

I recently started learning PowerApps due to work and yeah, this seems like Google's "answer" for lack of a better term. I feel like one of the main draws for PA is that it's got a lot of integration with O365 and the rest of the MS suite, but does Google have the same sort of enterprise presence to make this a realistic competitor for market space?
> in your case was the consultancy owned by the people making these short-term profit maximizing decisions[?]

It was a publicly-listed company, so that'd be a yes.

Profit is obviously over time a necessary condition for making a sustainable business. But it's definitely not a sufficient condition. I think there are a huge number of people who don't understand this.

Eg.: when I see people clambering for TSLA to make a profit... I think they're wrong. Or, at least, mostly wrong. TSLA has been unprofitable in the service of dramatically (and rather effectively) expanding both capacity and market share. Those are excellent reasons to be unprofitable. And TSLA still obviously has a lot more room to grow in both respects, so in this situation, trading profitability for growth is a good decision. (exhibit A: Amazon)
At 5% you would laugh it off as a sales tax.

I'm curious if these tariff taxes will meaningfully lower the budget deficit.
you can compress it by just truncating the hashes as short as you want
Many people who own property absolutely want to put more units on. Others who own property want to stop it because of NIMBY.

Lets say you have a single family home worth $2 million and you replace it with an 8 plex. You can sell each unit for $1M and still make a killing while also dramatically increasing the affordability of the area.

The answer is simple, but the NIMBYs are stopping it due to "neighborhood character"
Yes read it, use it but the next step can't be update it because then you'd have to read it again. I just don't have the time to audit someone elses yaml constantly.

Last time I used it was to navigate to the Chicago Botanical Gardens. Apple Maps told me I had arrived while I was still in the middle of the freeway.

Went back to Google Maps from there.
In New Orleans, Apple Maps continues to give users extremely dangerous directions from BUS US 90 E to I 10 E that require cutting across two lanes of traffic in a few hundred feet when an alternate, safe ramp has been in place since 1989 (!).

However paying workers less results in a lower demand for that job; increasing turnover and increasing operational costs. It isn’t as simple as a unilateral decision to lower wages. In fact, companies like Chick Fil A actually pay higher wages because it gives them a competitive advantage in higher quality employees with lower turnover.

The issue isn’t as simplistic as people seem to imply.

In the United States 100 years ago, women were not allowed to have very many jobs. Usually, they could be a schoolteacher, but only until a certain age or when they got married, at which point they were fired. Women were basically the property of their husbands, since they had no real ability to support themselves otherwise. That, to me, sounds just like slavery.

I would have downvoted for the "general national security" bit.

Everything else, sure. But national security, especially expressed like that, is just another "WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN".

I think they don't have any experiment results, only some new (unproven) theoretical ideas.

Moreover, I'm skeptical because a similar idea may apply in neutron starts, but the current model of neutron starts has a crust of about 100m (300ft) that has different kinds of intermediate structures with a lot of neutrons and protons and is called "nuclear pasta" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_pasta

I can't find how much experimental support has nuclear pasta, but IIUC there are some measurements of the density of the layers of the neutron stars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_star#Density_and_press...

I think its because the PIC32 uses the MIPS 4k CPU architecture which a compiler that can build this RetroBSD exists for. I'm not sure what kind of CPU architecture the ESP32 uses-- I think its some proprietary DSP core.
we do have that legislation against growing new crops today... The farm bills pay people to not grow crops.

Historically speaking, the interstate commerce clause of the constitution was eviscerated as part of the new deal for exactly this reason.

<<An Ohio farmer, Roscoe Filburn, was growing wheat to feed animals on his own farm. The US government had established limits on wheat production, based on the acreage owned by a farmer, to stabilize wheat prices and supplies. Filburn grew more than the limits that he was permitted and so was ordered to pay a penalty.

In response, he said that because his wheat was not sold, it could not be regulated as commerce, let alone "interstate" commerce (described in the Constitution as "Commerce... among the several states").

The Supreme Court disagreed: "Whether the subject of the regulation in question was 'production', 'consumption', or 'marketing' is, therefore, not material for purposes of deciding the question of federal power before us.... But even if appellee's activity be local and though it may not be regarded as commerce, it may still, whatever its nature, be reached by Congress if it exerts a substantial economic effect on interstate commerce and this irrespective of whether such effect is what might at some earlier time have been defined as 'direct' or 'indirect.'"[5]>>

>Imagine that password hashes are six characters, and `abcdef` is the only pwned password we know about. A smaller version of this tool would reject your password if it hashes to anything that starts with `abc` (such as `abc000`, `abcdee`, `abcdef`, etc).

Doesn't that not work very well at all though? If these "abcXXX" strings are hashes, than just because they share a prefix doesn't mean the unhashed password are even remotely similar.

"good-password-123-dog-xxx..." could hash to "abcdeg" and "password" could be the thing that hashed to "abcdef".
I may be wrong, but I believe in the US, the coal mining companies constructed these as well. This led to the workers essentially becoming indentured servants. [citation needed]

Off topic but I never knew the term for this. The cbcnews.ca site got rebuilt in react recently and the result has this one bug where when loading, some headlines flash an entirely different but also valid headline for the same story for a split second.

Sass support coming soon to Hugo
I recently started building an app using Cordova. I chose Cordova because I'd used it before and enjoy using VueJS (have used React and have no problems with it, just really enjoy Vue).

What a mistake.

I run into problems with the build on a weekly basis. I generally have very good debugging skills but in many cases could not figure out what was wrong. Usually `cordova platform remove ios && cordova platform add ios` fixed it. There is a ton of state in there and it's never been clear to me how to make it reproducible from the configs.

Many plugins simply don't work as they are outdated and not compatible with new iOS/Android versions. Using Firebase for notifications is one example.

Of course, I greatly appreciate the open-source authors who built all this and I don't expect them to solve my problems for free. I'm just pointing out my own mistake in choosing to use this tool, which doesn't solve as many problems as I thought it did.

Can any developers here say whether they've had a smooth experience using React Native? I'll definitely be trying it out soon...

Another option if you're able to do a server side check, is to use a library like nbvcxz (Full disclosure, I wrote it): https://github.com/GoSimpleLLC/nbvcxz

If you have a list of passwords you want to exclude, you can load it into the library, or it comes with it's own list of common passwords from leaked datasets.
Back when I was learning programming as a kid I read a quote in a pascal book

Right up through Object Pascal I always felt that was the case and in 2018 it's only now that VS2017 feels nearly as productive as Delphi 6 did nearly 20 years ago.
Contrary to popular opinion, there are many more people of color being murdered at a traffic stop in blue states than red states, so not sure what you are trying to poke at here. Maybe the KLS shooting? That was the only incident in my entire time living here I can think of. The fact that that was done by an officer of color doesn't seem to dawn on anyone, or that maybe it was actually justified, but anyways, I think you have your mindset made up and there's no point in trying to argue against the narrative. I just want to tell you, being someone not white myself and lived in red states most of my life. You face the occasional ignorant comment ("go back to where you came from, foreigner!") it's nothing compared to the crime that occurs daily in NYC, Chicago, or the Bay Area, so I think your chances are better down here.
> And by the way isn't the bulk of our imports raw materials anyway?

Yep. ~/.ssh/config for ssh stuff, ~/home.html for web links (that file is my browser home page, it also contains a few different forms for searches on various systems, such as google, DDG, our internal ticket system, etc).
I think they are spreading themselves too thin working on way too many features. Feature envy with github is not a good
way to define your roadmap.

They should drop everything and focus the most important feature: speed.
SSH: ~/.ssh/config

Note that you can specify remote user, details such aas crypto protocols, and many shell-completion tools autoexpand these.

Highlighting host and username in shell propmts also helps.

Webpages / URLs: bookmarks, though I'm relying increasingly on an old-school homepage, written in Markdown (or pick your alternative LWML) managed in git, and published via Makefile.

For team efforts, this in a Wiki, though with easy edit access. I increasingly prefer distict authoring/reading environments. That is, shell tools (vim, emacs, pandoc, make, git, etc.) for authoring, browser to read.
Yes, underdogs.

The very first day of the state of Israel, May 14th 1948, Israel was invaded[0] by six Arab nations (Egypt, Iraq, Transjordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Syria.) Plus, volunteer units from Sudan, the Muslim Brotherhood, Pakistan, and the Holy War Army.

It's remarkable that the nascent state of Israel survived.

And again in 1967[1], Israel was attacked by 13 nations. Despite being outnumbered 264k to 547k, they not only won but gained territory, including Jerusalem, Sinai, and the Golan Heights.

And again in 1973, Israel was invaded by several nations[2], outnumbered by over 3 to 1 in total troop deployment.

This combined with the fact that Israel is the world's only Jewish state, founded by people who survived the Holocaust or had witnessed it first-hand, founding the state of Israel just 3 years after the end of World War II. It's remarkable for a people who make up a tiny portion of the world's population. It's remarkable that Jews exist today. It's remarkable that Israel exists today.

So yes, underdogs indeed.

... for debian 8 only, though. Looks like current stable dodged that bullet quite a while ago.
From what I understand, the later.
Where did you find a stable housing market?
I was making $72k in Houston. Was paying $1000 for a nice apartment $1BD. Moved to Seattle tocmaken $105k with rent costing me $1600.

72k-(1k12months) = $60k
$105k-(1.6k12) = $85k

So in total I'm making more in Seattle than I was in Houston.

People are just scared of those high prices because they grew up around apartments that were costing $600/month a decade ago. Times changed and rent went up everywhere but people are still being shocked by those high prices because we're slow to adapt.

There is a big difference between a chain of trust with multiple people involved and corporate oversight, and a chain of trust that consists of one person who wields absolute power.

So yeah, there is always a chain of trust, but some are better than others. In the Google case, if one of those 5 people started doing bad things, the others would presumably be able to stop him and undo the damage.

It's called a 3 day or quit. After you tell the judge you can't pay, they allow the landlord to file for eviction and then you get 25 days or so until you are evicted. Maybe you can ask the judge to consider your security deposit as an agreement to let you stay longer. The OP might also find a church or some local community org to help with the rent for a month. Sometimes the state/county will help to prevent eviction in the short term.
This is accurate. You need only to have a costco cash card to get the Costco price on the goods in store. That cash card does not need to encompass the entire price of the transaction, as your credit card can make up the rest.

I've heard this touted as a "hack" but this makes absolute economic sense for Costco -- they get an advance on your purchase and get you into the store to potentially see the value in signing up.

I use it for focus when writing software. I'm a fairly heavy user, and it allows me to block out anything that would take me out of flow. I write scientific security software, often under deadline, and my typical day is an integrated coding, working out, and smoking bongs. I prefer indica, and tend to smoke about an 1 oz. per week - these days about $120. Each day I do a hard cardio, which seems to balance out the smoking and coding from (seriously) 6am till 10pm with a few 1 hour breaks to eat or do that cardio workout.
>> But here's the problem: at some point, the user wants the tool to do something beyond what the tool can do.

Once again, this depends on the lens you view it with.

With any solution that does a good job, it will eventually grow. Sometimes it outgrows what it was already built upon.

I see this is as a good problem to have, because it's a validation that the problem was real, and that the solution has value. You can also now justify putting some resources against it.

If your starting point is "this problem needs to be solved with programming" and A) you don't have that skill, B) you don't have the money to hire a person to do it, C) your organization isn't willing to give you a skilled internal resource to build it, what are your options?

You can either do nothing and live with the problem indefinitely, or you can try to do something that doesn't involve "real programming" to make your life a little easier.

Since launch mass is less of a concern maybe they can just manufature the satellites differently, e.g. filling the voids with a resin or oil which distributes the forces uniformly.

It still bugs me. Yeah, that part would work, at least until it got loaded weird by high winds or by being hit by a truck or something.

They were very unconventional in this design (new type of concrete, single row of struts, prefabricated construction, concrete instead of steel, uneven struts, computer-only analysis instead of civil engineering 101 static analysis) that it demanded extreme care.

Conventional bridge design patterns are robust as in they still work when they're old, under unexpected loads, analyzed by below-average engineers, or built with less-than-perfect materials. Deviating from them demands extra extra care, or people die. :/
The "character and fitness" criteria has been instituted by Harvard in 1920s for a very simple purpose - to solve the "Jewish problem", i.e. too many Jews getting into Harvard. After Harvard's President A. Lawrence Lowell's proposal of outright Jewish quota met significant resistance, they had to find some way to keep the Jews out while not having outright ban. So they had "geographic diversity" and "character" criteria. And it did wonders - Jewish admission percentage fell to the coveted 15% that was the original quota target. Now the same old weapon is being deployed against the new "too many people of your kind here" target.

I started using Apple Maps when I bought my new car which has CarPlay. (You currently can't use other nav apps with CarPlay, but you will be able to with iOS 12.)

I was pleasantly surprised. The UI is slick, there are no ads, it does traffic-based redirection, lane guidance (something Waze still doesn't do), lane closure warnings - it's pretty good.

I guess the usual criticism is that the maps are inaccurate but it's really improved over the past year or two. I think the knee-jerk complaints are from people who haven't used it recently.

I appreciate that it's the only major nav app that doesn't constantly record my position in the cloud.
