You claim GeekBench's scores are wrong, but you provide no evidence that A) they are wrong or B) an alternative benchmark that contradicts them. So, why again do you know that they are wrong besides the fact that you find them "incredible" and therefore they must be "incredulous?"
Since the fixed width integer types are optional, and if available must be 8, 16, 32 and 64 bits (and two's compl) I don't think CHAR_BITS > 8 is allowed if stdint.h types are supported since sizeof(uint8_t) must be 1.

Sun licenses the patent and has related patents on the same thing. Sun provides an implementation under the CDDL license. ZFS on Linux is distributed under the CDDL. Linux is distributed under the GPL for which no patent holders have granted permission to use the patented inventions. Many other implementations exist including one under the Apache license and one under the Mozilla license that I found in two seconds on github.

The whole thing is a mess.
I don't see any reason in modern C to use int/short/long over explicit int32_t/int8_t/int64_t other than they're shorter to type.

What would be interesting to see is if this benefit would be better applied directly to the database instead.

The relative scarcity of NVMe ports/bandwidth per server may make that as unattractive as doing the (RAM) caching on the database server itself, but it's not obvious, if one could only spend the money in one place, where it would be best spent.
This looks really nice. Elegantly simple, and very reasonably priced. I could easily see Blot carving out a niche with customers for whom the likes of Squarespace or Wix is total overkill.

Countries with highly regulated economies dominated by state-run businesses will often make this a condition of winning a government contract.

Just a note for others who see this comment as high up as I did.
I figured I'd get used to it eventually, so I didn't want to just up and change what seemed like it should have been a good default, what you're suggesting would mean basically turning off a hardware "feature". In the end it just wasn't for me and I didn't accept it until I had basically switched to using my desktop machine full time.

I typically give things like this their fair shot - some of them I get used to, like Windows switching to grouped single icons without titles... I hated it at first, but eventually it made some sense to me. Only when I've absolutely given up on them do I bother changing settings.

I try my best not to let those negative first impressions stick, to give them a real shot, and this was part of the machine I'd purchased, I figured I better try it...

Predicting the 2018 World Cup as a weekend project
If slaves can't be trusted not to run away without constant supervision, they're not cheaper than just paying someone to do the work (unless one person can somehow supervise a large group of slaves). What keeps a slave from running away even if they have the opportunity is the risk of getting caught and punished. But if the slaves are always punished (e.g. by forcefully removing their teeth), the decision is suddenly in favor of running away and maybe evading punishment. So it is in the interest of the slave owner to mostly treat their slaves like normal workers and pay them. The benefit of ownership is just that slaves can't easily find another job, so they can be paid less than a free worker.
Some hard drives come with workload ratings. For example, the WD Gold is rated for 550TB (reads+writes) per year (if you run it 24/7). But because the wearout mechanisms are so different between hard drives and SSDs, you can't make a very meaningful comparison between them.

This may be part of the reason why no A11-based devices support AArch32. iOS 11 dropped support for 32-bit apps, and its highly possible the chip doesn’t support the ISA at all.
All commercial UNIX vendors were hardware vendors.

What made them special is how they combined their hardware with their own version version of UNIX.

So many packages and authors creates an impossibly large surface area to review and secure. It is my impression that most people don't even try so the issue falls on deaf ears. But for a PCI compliant piece of software for example, you would have to had reviewed every module in node_modules. As a stack it makes it a non-starter.

The vast majority of these drugs seem to be pain killers (unless you count birth control).

It seems to me, given that, the depression side effect is probably related to the following sequence of events:

1) painkillers are given to patients in lieu of actual treatment (you can fix anything with painkillers. With a very low short-term cost and you may get lucky and get a low total cost too (ie. problem disappears by itself))

2) body "adapts" to painkillers, and they, very slowly, become less effective over time

And, boom, there comes your depression.

I have evaluated b2b on a regular basis, features matter, but UI absolutely matter to me when I make a recommendation. If it looks like shit from the 90s I won't even put it on the list. If it doesn't have a solid UI it's a nonstarter.

I've recommended other b2b services over Salesforce because they have such a shitty UI and it worked out nicely.
I get it. I've been using Macs for 25+ years and I recently installed a Linux distro with KDE on my Mac in preparation for the ThinkPad I ordered after much deliberation (in lieu of getting one of those crappy "touch bar" MacBook Pros) on which I planned to run Linux while staying on MacOS on the Mac. I am almost certain now that I'm going to stick with Linux across the board on both machines. KDE suits me quite well.

It's been a death by a thousand cuts staying with Apple these past few years. iOS is completely locked down (and shows no signs of relenting) and I only see them moving MacOS in the same direction. Their sub-par, insulting hardware offerings only further cement my view that they no longer give a crap about what the Mac used to be. So, like you, I'm out. It was a fun ride. I've been on-board since System 7.

An adapter that splits a single PCIE slot(x16) to hold 4 x M.2 NVMe SSDs(x4 each) would be a great way to persist a Redis instance that is not just serving as a cache.

If the same can be done with Optane SSDs, the lower latency will at higher queue depth will certainly help.
There's a lot of other reasons to run the other direction from Salesforce. Ugh, their REST api...

They have quite a ways to go before I'd be happier treating them as RAM for something like memcached... but it's a good start. The IOPS is very low and the latency is still quite a ways off from RAM. For a lot of other workloads it seems doable if expensive.

As much as I like to think apple is really fuct and what not (I mean, I relish seeing them suck lately), fact is they are mere inches away from fixing all of the recent complaints people have had with their products.

I'm not in disagreement with you, but there is another aspect to consider.

In the case of many of these structures, their physical form is a reflection of some spiritual aspect. They're basically religious icons. Their design may be carried forward in part just because not doing so would be disrespectful on a spiritual level, or because they remind people of something. But they're not all the same.

There are probably thousands of different torii gates with slightly different designs. Some show an extended nuki with kusabi wedges, a modified mortise and tenon style joinery. But many torii gates don't feature these. Nuki joints are actually widely used as ornamental carpentry, and can be found in several non-wooden objects.

The construction of most torii, regardless of their material, seems to be about aesthetics (and honoring whoever paid to put it up) before the rest.

If you want maximum accomplishment with a material, check out their multi story pagodas that use a massive wooden beam in the middle. It acts as a mass damper and prevents the different floors from sliding off the building during an earthquake, as they aren't attached to each other. Hard to do that with stone! :)

At least you had a city planner.

The city I grew up in is a larger one, and currently seems to be entirely in the hands of private developers - who just dump closed-off groups of blocks at random throughout the city, hoping to sell the apartments, without any consideration to things like neighborhood, surrounding architecture or road throughput.

The author seems to have wanted to write an article about cyberpunk, but didn't have anything to say. There was no premise or conclusion, simply a few rambling thoughts about the current state of technology and media.

What I find fascinating about the cyberpunk sensibility is the dramatic shift from the classical view of the future. When you dig into older science fiction it is almost universally accepted that the future will be clean, bright, and government-controlled. Sure, the spaceship crew might have to dispatch some weird bug creatures, or family's robot might have gone haywire, or Big Brother might be watching your every move, but it's taken for granted that technological progress has kept pace, rockets are zooming around, and power has been steadily accruing upward to the government, which is basically taking care of things. The biggest problem might be that the government (or should I say The Empire) has gotten a bit too much control, and some rebels have banded together for the sake of Freedom.

The cyberpunk sensibility and vision is not only darker, but significantly more subversive. Power has not conglomerated in the hands of the government, it's been usurped by corporations and wealthy individuals. Technology has not solved hunger, poverty, sickness, or human suffering, in fact in many cases it has made them worse. The environment has been fucked by centuries of industrial abuse, the cities are a mess, drugs and crime are rampant, the streets are dirty, even the rain is dirty. Technology never managed to lift mankind out of its daily struggle, humanity never banded together in search of the stars, and the hope of that clean, bright, government controlled future has become a cruel joke.
Surprised cryptocurrency isn't mentioned in this article - as I feel that is one of the more cyberpunk developments in a very cyberpunk past decade.

I dig the author's take on the internet being more meritocratic but prone to monopoly -- due to a sort of lack of friction. Amazon, Google, Facebook, etc.

The dystopian/cyberpunk logic is that things that begin decentralized/open end up centralized/monopolized. I fear that happens with cryptocurrency, much like it happened with the internet.

I'm working on a game that explores that theme through that lens: https://www.cachethegame. It's based on Ethereum based and based on the old Drugwars classic.
ML is like a genie in that it is very good at optimizing exactly what you tell it to, and so you need to think long and hard about what you're telling it to optimize, because it might turn out to be bad proxy for what you really wanted.

You're not going to win friends with this kind of belligerent talk.

Why don't you stick with the approach you took in your other top-level comment, which I thought was pretty great:

I tend to use int for loops (where I know there will always be less than 2^16 iterations!), return codes etc. purely because it allows the compiler to pick a fast word size everywhere (e.g. if somebody compiles your code for AVR, and your loops are all int32_t, your API returns int32_t, they're gonna have a worse time). Otherwise, I fully agree.
Much of the items that will end up on an SSD are already long lived. Every gigabyte of RAM runway before flushing items reduces the write load, since recent items are at highest risk of being overwritten/deleted.. also stuff with shorter TTL's won't be persisted (or can be persisted to bucketed pages for avoiding being compacted).

TL;DR: there's a lot to it and I'll be going into it in future posts. The full extstore docs explain in a lot of detail too.
Agreed. It's pretty questionable to tell a Frenchman he shouldn't be proud of the Eiffel Tower because he didnt personally design it.
Similarly to number of stackoverflow questions not being a valid gauge for popularity, I don't think that this is necessarily representative of popularity. What if react is simply more mature and doesn't need to market itself as much, so more people are using it than need to find out about it?
> The Lunar Orbiters never returned to Earth with the imagery. Instead, the Orbiter developed the 70mm film (yes film) and then raster scanned the negatives with a 5 micron spot (200 lines/mm resolution) and beamed the data back to Earth using lossless analog compression, which was yet to actually be patented by anyone.

Absolutely incredible! The level of complexity involved involved in space flight, along with the tight tolerances, continually impresses me when I consider the relative success of these missions.
If you join a company and they're not already using Angular 2+, good freagin luck.

You can say that about any library; it has nothing to do with the popularity, support or quality of the particular dependency. If the technical decision makers choose not to use something you like then you won't get to use it.

No it isn't. The article mentions alot of science to back this up. It starts with brain scans from mice studies, which suggest that blackouts are caused by cells in the hippocampus failing to make new memories correctly. It then mentions case studies of people who have brain damage in this area that also are unable to make new memories.

From there, it talks about twin studies which suggest there is a link between some genes and blackouts. What it's saying is that alcohol is processed slightly differently in some individuals so that it causes cells in the hippocampus to misfire and keep them from making new memories. This misfiring only seems to happen above certain blood alcohol levels. This is similar to how some individuals seem to be better (or worse) at processing alcohol, even controlling for other factors, which affects whether they pass out, or get poisoning, etc.

The bottom line is that alcohol causes different effects in the brain and turns off different parts of the higher functions at different blood alcohol levels. This can vary between individuals. In some people, they become more aggressive, or friendly, or lose their balance more easily than others. For certain individuals, they lose the ability to make new memories at high levels.

Do you know why LibreOffice moved away from Java?

Because the performance was just not good enough.

They had custom, native UI while the backend was running in Java.

And it just wasn't fast enough. Even when hot, throughput and latency weren't good enough.

So, they started moving to C++ as much as possible, as fast as possible. By now you can run Writer without Java at all.

Current JS runtimes are all slower than HotSpot.

Yet somehow we're to believe that doing the exact same mistake again will work better this time?

It'll still end up being slow and a memory hog.

Moore's law is dead. RAM is more expensive than at any other point in almost 10 years.

You can't just throw abstractions at everything at the cost of performance anymore, expecting the hardware to catch up.

Aditionally, it's (mostly) possible to avoid contact with microsoft by simply not using their products. With google, you can't help their ads in webpages, their hosting the email or messaging services your friends use; if someone send me a docx file, I can open in libreoffice, if they send me a google doc, I can't avoid it.
It didn't take me much to adjust to Ubuntu (Mac user for 10 years). Terminal and apps (Sublime) are the same, browser is the same, etc.

Yet case classes with pattern matching and pure functions leads to some of the most readable code I’ve seen, without requiring much FP knowledge. Unlike OOP in which the logic is hidden away in some AbstractVisitorBuilderFactory and a sea of required classes to make that work.

Things can get rough when you take FP or OOP to their logical ends, the sweet spot lies somewhere in between.
