I love App Engine and have used it in the past, but it: 1) is quite old and receives precious little love from Google; 2) isn't great if you want to use a relational database; 3) not a great option for applications that require iron clad security.

To be clear on #1, App Engine has been nothing but reliable for me. Yet it receives few updates; for example, only supporting Python 2.7...

#2: It works great with Datastore, but for SQL you have to use a separate instance or Cloud SQL; either will cost additional money and maintenance. And, last I checked, Postgres was a no-go for App Engine.

#3: It can be hard to secure App Engine apps properly. User data leaking in the logs, for example. And I've encountered a few bugs that lead me to distrust the runtime they use. (I reported the bugs, but still). Where security is of the utmost importance, I have to opt for my own stack.

From a commentary about the linked article:

The common denominator in all of Dick’s fiction is a world beset by an unconstrained and monstrous entropy that devours matter and even time

Reference: https://dynamicsubspace.net/2010/05/09/stanislaw-lems-philip...

And also from the linked article:

The writings of Philip Dick have deserved a better fate than that to which they were destined by their birthplace. If they are neither of uniform quality nor fully realized...

Unlike Stephen King, Dick's books aren't very easy to read from cover to cover, but they're filled with rich references of dystopian tragedy.

William Gibson's Neuromancer is a little easier, but leans more stylistic similar to A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, who relied on a Russian-influenced argot called "Nadsat", which takes its name from the Russian suffix that is equivalent to '-teen' in English to inject the character's language with a certain brand of nastiness to go with the subverted plot.

Stanley Kubrick successfully adapted King's The Shining and Clockwork Orange, but failed to wrap his mind fully around Dick, methinks, as he could never bring a Dick-influenced project to its feet, A.I., which Spielberg couldn't do much with either.

Part of the adventure in reading Dick is figuring out what the hell happened before the novel began to have such a devastating effect on the present he so vividly presents.

Since he died, the imaginative powers of Dick have been tapped and retapped by Hollywood, (Bladerunner, Blade Runner 2049, The Man in the High Castle, A Scanner Darkly, Minority Report, Total Recall, The Adjustment Bureau, Screamers) ...and sometimes the results are even pretty good (despite the esoteric nature of his writing).

There's a lot to be learned about our existential existence from reading Dick, and I associate him more with Kafka and Camus, than his science fiction genre-mates.

Not really. Most of the services will be released open source, and they are not tied to the GCP, so you could use your own infra if that's something you would like. I think the first such service to be released will be matchmaking.

Multiplay is also cloud agnostic, although it uses Google by default.

Correct me if I am wrong, but if content creators take their content off YouTube and use PeerTube, does this mean that there will be separate instances of PeerTube (e.g., video.blender.org) for each channel/creator? Another example could be if ol' Pewds decided to also do this - would his content be hosted on something like video.pewdiepie.org?

Yeah, there's a lot you could do, but unfortunately the only thing that makes decoding high resolution video feasible on these devices is fixed-function video decoding hardware which can't support new ideas like this. You'd have to lobby standards bodies to add VR-specific features to codecs and wait many years for hardware to implement them.

Ultimately what you want for VR is some kind of light field video compression. You can get a taste for what that would be like here, although it's mostly still images for now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/771310/Welcome_to_Light_F...
This is not how the real world works.

When you have large industries with thousands of peering organizations all over the world, you can't just "trust" -- there is, in fact, no metric for trust and no ability to measure trust. That's why the middlemen exist.

This is especially true in finance, healthcare, and other industries where blockchains are being used.
Sure, those ideas might hold up for objects far away from the eyes, but for nearby objects there can a pretty big difference between what each eye sees. I think the human brain would quickly call BS on an image processed through that kind of compression, and it would not be very immersive or realistic.

No, because the CPU has information the compiler doesn't. The compiler throws away useful information while it compiles, yes, but the CPU gets new information at runtime which the compiler doesn't have.
Yup it's the classic double layer issue. I think the only way to do it right is to go full 'game engine' style, like flutter or unity. With these you have a very small GL library surface area and one platform stack to actually understand for most of your engineers. Maybe something like WebAssembly will be similar.

You often don't hear about these kinds of issues out of game engine makers. I could be totally wrong although since I haven't worked on games.

So what we're debating is when, rather than if. You seem to accept that, someday, this technology will be superior to human drivers in the general case. But how will we know, without testing in real-world conditions? At what point do we start saying a given program is safe enough to test on actual roads, not just simulations or closed courses?

The alternative is to simply never allow it at all, to assume that humans will always be better drivers than computers. Which opens up an ethical dilemma. If auto-autos could save tens of thousands of lives a year - and it seems at least plausible that it could happen - then to reject it out of hand is to cause tens of thousands of innocent deaths a year.
Even if we did, the sampling itself would be onerous. Unless you could somehow guess the phage based on immune response or metabolic products as in blood sample. Which is extremely hard to pull off and still much harder than guessing the right antibiotic in most cases.
People need to just let ISPs run whatever cables they want wherever they want, whether that be attaching them to overhead power lines or under ground.

The problem is that when ISPs are running their cables, they also have a distressing tendency to cut other people's cables. See https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/06/lawsuit-comcast-... for an example where Comcast did that. In the discussion about it at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14613986 you will find many other anecdotal stories of similar behavior.

Anyways it doesn't matter because it really is a natural monopoly. http://www.dtc.umn.edu/publications/reports/2003_11.pdf is old, but the economic principles that it cites for why broadband is a natural monopoly remain true today.
Well, when it comes to me, I have a Mac for iOS builds anyway. It's far easier to build on Linux though, so I do it that way.

I probably wouldn't care anyway, sorry Apple.
This. It is hard to imagine a situation in which providing information on the identity of person who requested the removal of a dead person's profile to an aggrieved party is going to result in anything other than the harassment of that person. Especially in circumstances like this when that person may well have felt they were acting reasonably, and does not appear to have committed any actual criminal or civil offence.

Facebook's responsibility to not promote the harassment of its users exceeds its responsibility to provide details of why they carried out a request.

Additionally, Facebook had some reason to believe that even if they wanted to doxx that person, disclosing their communication to a third party without that person's own permission may have been a breach of UK/EU data protection laws
How is that? Can you elaborate?
That was a fork, not a mutation of the database. You can still today go back and see the history play out in the different chains.
The main example they gave in this article, HHVM, is what all of Facebook's backend runs on, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

First of all, the process of converting a stereo pair into a flat image and a disparity map would be lossy and introduce artifacts. Even assuming you could accurately capture pixels that were occluded from one viewpoint and not the other, the approach is inherently unable to handle effects such as partially-transparent or glossy surfaces.

Secondly, the limiting factor described in the post is not space efficiency, it's decoding performance. It doesn't do much good to halve the amount of data required to represent a frame if it takes twice as long to reconstruct the raw pixels for display.
25 years ago in 1993, Apple was doing well.

The Macintosh was also doing well, rising from 1.3 million units in 1990 to its all-time high of 4.5 million units in 1995. Macintosh market share peaked at 12% in 1993. It was a boom time for Apple, with the future looking bright.

Or people just live in places where no one wants to run broadband. Which is probably fine; they can get satellite as a last resort. Last mile is an issue but I'm not sure there's a fix outside of a major program.
I've never trusted hyperthreading for workloads I haven't tested. Sometimes it's faster, often it's slower. Beyond that, I've been suspicious of its security implications from day one. My first trip through the BIOS on a personal machine always includes turning it off.

It's an interpolation thing; it's much easier for your brain to do the tracking of an object when it smoothly moves around, instead of it having to do interp / extrapolation, and this should demonstrate why

Can I ask why you think it sounds like a placebo? I don't really see why there's any logic behind 144hz being the ceiling of how well your eyes can see, and 144hz -> 240hz is a big jump

I wonder if the problem isn't a misaligned paradigm for just what a codec does. Right now, codecs exist to take bytestreams and fill frames at a certain rate. They're a bitstream-to-framerate device.

What if instead of delivering to a frame during a certain time period, the codec had to instantly deliver whatever it could, but only geared to the actual acuity of the users retina. Seems like there would be less information, you would never have lag, and all optimization would be around the detail of data delivered, not framerate or screensize.

I also birthday parties and Bar Mitzvahs, folks. I'm here all week. (I figure it couldn't hurt to throw crazy ideas out there. Every now and then a crazy idea actually amounts to something. Coding is cool because it not only let you solve problems, sometimes it lets you change the universe the problem lives in. Good luck, John!)
Typically a conflict-resolution mechanism will be built into the consensus mechanism, with the rules set by the peers.

But there will always be transparency (even the bad CDRs will be logged) and accountability (you know who said what, so the incentive for fraud is significantly decreased.)
At least in previous generations some resources where statically shared, but most were dynamically shared.

> Were the system pods using all that memory or just reserving it?

700MB was the sum of all the requested minimum RAM for all those service pods. So yeah, you're probably right that they're ceilings of sorts. Still it's a bit crazy to see a logging service, who's job is merely to haul logs off to a different server, requesting 200MB.

I'm also bewildered by Container Optimized OS's memory consumption. IIRC it was 500MB+ bare; doing nothing. As reported by top. I forget which, but I stood up either Debian Stretch or Ubuntu 18.04 and it was only ~200MB with Docker installed.
If it compiles, you might run into memory issues
Coincidentally (though Dick himself would likely think not), I'm re-reading The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch right now. And looking at my bookshelf, I see that A Scanner Darkly sits next to His Master's Voice. Maybe it's time to chew some Can-D.
I love it too and was disappointed to read recently on HN it's not easy to do on Linux, as I intend to switch to Ubuntu on a desktop soon. If anyone knows the best way to set it up I'd like to hear it.

However, it's become a pain lately anyway in that it doesn't work for images [maybe over a certain size?] stored in iCloud (unless it's already downloaded) which includes the desktop folder and therefore screenshots (because letting you store screnshots anywhere else by default would be logical and we can't have that). Nor does it show anything to indicate this, it just appears to randomly work or not work. I wish they'd send a lower res version for previews, or something, as more and more stuff moves to the cloud.
historically there have been a lot of jpg/photo album/image thumnail/image viewing and browsing software packages that autogenerate tiny thumbnail files. I've seen it as far back as 1997 and on Windows, Linux and on OSX. The main difference as I see it is that most of those put the tiny thumbnails in the same directory as the images they were browsing. In this case if you have an encrypted drive mounted the thumbnails are going somewhere else on a volume that may not necessarily be full disk encryption.

I would consider myself a very average programmer. I have some good experience and a good knowledge set, but I'm not super passionate about programming to drive myself to be a "great" programmer.

edit: I think the biggest thing holding me to being average at best is practical experience in larger systems. In school, I was always good at the theory parts of computer science, but did so-so in projects. In my professional experience, I think that still holds true: I can manage language intricacies, and write pretty clean code for smaller problems, but I can get into trouble with architecture-level stuff like defining models. I also have a tendency to over-engineer solutions to complex problems.
That's conflict-resolution logic, and up to the peers to decide a priori (they will likely already have this, since it is not an uncommon scenario.)

The value here (in addition to decentralized validation and consensus) is also in transparency and accountability, which disincentivizes fraud.
It’s pretty official yes.

Don't forget The Matrix -- though it wasn't directly based on any of PKD's work, his influence on it is pretty clear. The Truman Show was obviously inspired by Dick's Time Ouf of Joint (though Dick's book was a lot darker than the lighthearted Jim Carrey comedy). Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is yet another PKD-lite (featuring Jim Carrey yet again). PKD's influence on Hollywood is vast.
I feel the essential importance of the arts, including literature, has been greatly diminished in the public's consciousness. People look on them as entertainment (Christie not Dostoevsky, using Lem's examples) and wonder why they matter at all, why they should be studied - especially the challenging stuff! But look at Lem's perspective:

No one in his right mind seeks the psychological truth about crime in detective stories. Whoever seeks such truth will turn rather to Crime and Punishment.

...

Joseph Conrad's elevated description of literature as rendering "the highest kind of truth to the visible universe"

To me the arts deal with the hardest questions, the ones that cannot be quantified, solved with an algorithm, or even with the infinite imagined powers of ML; the ones for which we often can't find the right questions. Despite all our technological advancements, the world around us seems to bend into pointless chaos and conflict, from peace and prosperity to war - but bizarrely with no enemy threatening us. I find the arts have more and more to say to me.
Each instance of peertube is like youtube. There can be many users and users can have many channels. You can choose which instance you want to upload to, since different instances will have different storage limits, user limits, content policies, content focus, moderation, site layout, etc. Or you can run your own instance if you want full control over your content and the site as a whole.

Different instances of peertube can follow each other (doesn't have to be mutual - think twitter follow) and essentially share content to improve discoverability (think twitter timeline showing content from all the instances you follow).
Cool Ian!
I think the reason UI/UX is not solved on Linux is that designers do not readily work for free. And there are often very good reasons they don’t. The only solution I see is for someone to pay large amounts for great designers.

Yes, that's pretty much life. It'd be great if we could provide all the support anyone could need, but we haven't really found a way to do that yet.

More cynically/controversially, I wonder where she got the impression that it's normal for people to help her with things just because it would be advantageous to her. I think it's possibly the case that people are more willing to help women than men in general life[0], and if that is less so the case in tech, then it could feel like deliberate exclusion. "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.", as the saying goes. On the other hand, it very much could be the case that people are treating her worse than others. There's not one "tech", and while I've had a great experience, I'm mostly familiar with the "small dev shop" scene in a small, laid-back, non-US country so I really shouldn't generalise.

That said, I'm glad people are going and solving the problems they're facing. Good on them, and I wish them luck!

Should this read "Speed up large binaries with BOLT"? Seems specific to many-megabyte compiled programs.
Because typical DSP code does calculations using predictable memory access patterns and usually contains very little logic. This makes it possible to largely statically schedule the code. It's fairly similar in that regard to e.g. GPU shaders (and indeed GPUs have used VLIW-like designs in the past) and scientific data crunching code.
Is this vulnerability defeated if you use a APFS/HFS disk password that no specific OSX user accounts are authorized to bypass, as is the case when you encrypt the whole hard drive and then install OSX versus activating File Vault only on a per account basis? In other words, if I don't have the hard drive disk password, but I do have a single user account login/password, nothing is capable of being leaked in this case, correct?

As the Quicklook database is never decrypted unless you have the disk password in this case, I don't think it is, but would like validation of my thought process as it seems like this mostly pertains to mounted encrypted image files or non-system encrypted drives, not whole disk system drive encryption.

However, if you use something like the MacFort app that stores resting app program data (like your Photos Library file) in an encrypted disk image only decrypted/mounted when you open the Photos app itself (and provide proper password) and then is closed/unmounted immediately after the app that called for it is closed, is this vulnerability still valid? I'm thinking it is in this case, as the encrypted files are at one point mounted on the file system in an unencrypted state and QuickLook can then cache contents as described, but again, I'm curious for validation.
Tech companies have certainly contributed but continuous failed Democratic state and local leadership has greatly contributed as well.
