Per military planes, I suspect they select the preferred behavior ahead of time based on the mission and estimated flight path. In some cases self-destruct may be the better option, in others, a controlled landing is better. You probably don't want to self-destruct over your own cities and thus build in logic to find a rural landing spot if it's a local or training mission.

Obviously the union shouldn't have filed a grievance without investigating. Most unions wouldn't. But this adversarial system appropriately shamed the union for not investigating first and resulted in an outcome of the person being convicted.

Seems quite silly to use this as an example for why those of us who are not serial killers shouldn't have unions. But I guess serial killers ruin EVERYTHING.

I am working through Google's machine learning crash course.

https://developers.google.com/machine-learning/crash-course/...

Tensorflow sprays a lot of calculus. The idea is that all your known quantities ("features") become terms in an n-dimensional polynomial. The act of "training the model" is finding minima by traversing the negative gradient (the terms of the partial derivatives of any point when projected as a vector at that point).

I'm glad I had calc 3, even if that was only 3-dimensional.
Considering that this was written in 1986 (when I was first getting into databases on mainframes and minis), he makes a statement of belief that automatic tuning tools will become available.

Funny thing is, I am still waiting for these tools. We still have DBA's doing tuning of DBMS's today. Since the early 90's, I was asking why the DBMS wasn't doing the automated tuning for every database being created, especially on the major database venders's systems.

Every DBA tuning guide that I read over the years described techniques that should have been automated and automatically run by the various DBMS's.

The physical characteristics of all databases should not be the concern of database designers or implementers. Such should be concerned with the logical design and leave the DBMS to handle how it will physically lay out those logical designs.

Whether there is shared memory or shared disks or no sharing should be a characteristic of the DBMS and not our concern. Our concern should be whether or not the DBMS efficiently runs our logical design.

Cellphones are a pain, that's true. I was mainly thinking about Internet metadata.

If you really care, one option is having multiple phones, under different identities. Each one only gets used in a distinct set of locations, for distinct projects, with distinct recipients. When not in use, you store phones in labeled Faraday bags. That is, compartmentalization.

Another option is to nuke the radio in your phone, use only WiFi and VPNs for internet access, and use hosted cellphones from multiple providers. You can still compartmentalize, but need only carry one phone. But you depend on WiFi access.

The blockchain solves the problem of trust. Without the blockchain, you need to trust some monopolistic middle-man that became monopolistic because he was the winner in the 'race of acquiring trust' from its consumers.

With a blockchain to track phisical goods, any third-party can consult or print a new transaction into the blockchain, it we wont need to deposit our faith in a company or a government.

We managed to solve the problem of trust, the best way we could, with the tools we had as a society, but if you analize all the paperwork, the bureocracy, the taxes and time taken to make the same system work in the classical way, there's a clear advantage in the new way od doing things.

I do not agree with this argument, but it goes like this:

If a wealthy drug dealer has cars, boats, houses and whatnot that are used in the course of committing crimes, the government should be able to seize them to stop them from continuing to be used for this purpose. If a drug dealer has a large amount of cash earned from the sale of drugs, he should not be able to use his ill-gotten gains to pay for lawyers or escape or anything else. Also, the seizures help local law enforcement defray the cost of catching the criminal, a cost they would not have had to incur had he not been a criminal.

Again, I think these are terrible arguments, but there you are.

I think you are reading too much into what "JS based" means. You will end up writing the exact same amount of mark-up in Gatsby or Hugo - except that one is in JS (ES6) versus Golang based templates.

The amount of JavaScript is not "huger" and Hugo does not make it zero markup. The only difference is that you get to leverage the react ecosystem which is far far bigger ... And it is easier for a dev (who probably already knows React) to pickup Gatsby versus Hugo.

You are in the exact same webpack, js, npm ecosystem as a vanilla react site.

If you have a fundamental distaste for js..that is a whole different matter altogether.

I think we should be specific about the time scale here. In the case of Bitcoin a 6-confirmation double spend would only take 2-3 hours which doesn't leave much time for the community to even notice, let alone coordinate a response. I won't even consider the case where the community has been force-fed a "never ever hard fork ever under any circumstances" message.

You can't assume that equilibrium holds since the difficulty only adjusts every two weeks. (Even in cryptocurrencies with continuous difficulty adjustment, 51% of the hashrate missing for 2-3 hours would not cause a noticeable drop.) Because the difficulty does not adjust during the attack, honest miners would be producing blocks at half rate (every 20 minutes) and thus would still appear to get their fair share of the block reward; they wouldn't get more.

For ASIC-based cryptocurrencies I don't think there's much if any hashrate sitting on the sidelines and the attack would probably be over by the time miners noticed.

I think everybody's talking about messages, but you can choose to encode messages as direct method-calls versus indirect data-objects, e.g.:

watchers[0].customerNameChanged(this, old_name, new_name);

emit_for_whomever(new CustomerNameChanged(this,old_name, new_name));

The second version actually has more classes being defined and objects being created. However, it comes with quite a few benefits in terms of documentation, duplication, persistence, deferring, batching, etc.

But that is still a rule that all proper nouns are capitalised. It's also beside the point. No one is claiming that rules don't change, or even that they are sharply defined. I was claiming that it is presumptuous complain about other people when they follow the traditional rules.
It cuts both ways. One central government squishing civil rights or 50 states each having to squish civil rights? I do tend to agree to the supremacy of the bill of rights which is supposed to be just a restatement of natural rights and is a hands off to government in general.

The problems of trust that blockchain aims to solve are currently solved by the banks, the state and legal systems. Our society is built on this enormous system of trust that is backed by hard power (threat to hardship, violence and coercion) and if these systems collapse, then blockchains will suddenly be extremely valuable.

Blockchains in theory are much more efficient and than governments, so this is what people are betting on, without putting it in so many words.

If you think of it, governance is one the biggest monopolies out there and some competition might not be a bad idea for people with large amount of assets.

The paper does mention "But, the use of “stakes” instead of computational work may open new possibilities for thwarting
attacks, e.g., confiscation of an attacker’s stake".

It looks like Decred doesn't use slashing, so I don't know if it's accurate to include the size of stake in the cost of an attack since the attacker would still have that stake afterwards; the price might go down but it might not be much if people say "that wasn't my money that was stolen; I didn't see anything".
> That's called experience. This is the reason why senior developers are normally paid more and make the important decisions.

The problem is we obtain that "senior" title long before we have this experience. Then when it's finally deserved (the 10+ year mark) the pressure starts mounting to move into architecture/management roles. And let's not forget the "old man can't keep up" that's always been rampant.

The industry as a whole seems to consider experience as a liability.

> easier to maintain at the container level than recreating images and redeploying VMs

I'm not sure I understand how that could be, since the best practice alluded to elsewhere in the thread is to recreate and redeploy (as part of ones normal CI/CD process, assuming that even exists) containers as a way of keeping up on security updates. How is that different, let alone easier, than doing so with VMs?

> startups just want to run apps and aren't doing any sophisticated lower-level infrastructure

That may be important at the very earliest stages, but that kind of concerted ignorance can be dangerous.

> it also replaces several other accessory software

The "also" being in addition to abstracting away all that tedious, "accessory" software. The problem is that, abstractions are leaky. At some point, it may well become important for someone in that startup to understand how/why the accessory works because it suddenly became critical to the business.

Of course, that point may never come, if the startup doesn't survive that long, so why bother thinking that far ahead?
I'd tell you to get in touch with an Senior Architect but that's no guarantee that you'll get a good result. From my experience . . .

IBM sold a big outsourcing package to a major European insurance company: they would move ALL their stuff to the IBM Cloud (VMWare with a lot of custom BPM workflows to handle provisioning, etc.). None of this matched their other three big cloud projects, Bluemix, Softlayer, or their OpenStack project (Zenith -- my prior project), so it was all new from the ground up.

They needed to handle mass imports of DNS data from this insurance company (~1 million hosts) and other customers and they brought me in as a senior developer to do the grunt work. Since we were using ISC bind, I assumed we could use features like exporting zones with signed requests and take advantage of all the infrastructure work put into that server to scale up. Our Senior Architect poo-pooed that plan, so I started modeling the DNS records as structured data for consistent and complete import and export. Our senior architect also nixed that idea and said that we're gonna load the DNS structures with REST requests: the support people were gonna have a custom web application to load simple DNS export files (not zonefiles, mind you) into this system, and to make ad-hoc additions and changes. (When we had a new developer join, he had the same questions I had about why we weren't using all the DNS bind features since they were done and tested and perfect for our needs . . . it took a month to get him to stop asking.)

I got about 90% of the way through a solution with a Python Flask REST server at the center, high code coverage through unit tests (because it's Python and I was still finding edge cases that needed fixing to the very end), and Rabbit MQ for enqueuing the changes we've received before writing them out to DNS zone files. It works, but we certainly didn't need to blow April to August building out the architect's vision.

The reward I got was being pulled off the project when it was nearly code complete and would shortly go into production. I got a team based in India to manage in the mornings, while my afternoons and evenings were returned to developing Javascript for the BPM infrastructure jobs.

(When told I was going to leave for another company, IBM's counter-offer was to move me from my remote work-at-home location in Ohio, near family, to the Cloud Managed Services office in Rochester, MN, and then consider a raise.)

I use Firefox’s dev tools for my work on FastMail and Topicbox (the other guy who does the most frontend work uses Chrome). Firefox’s debugger is definitely painfully slow when paused and stepping, but I can’t reproduce what you say about full-browser hangs. Setting a breakpoint completes within a few hundred milliseconds (most of which is just rendering).

The fancy JSON thing: if you collapse the “JSON” expander you’ll see another, “Response payload”, which shows it as text. (If JSON is expanded, Response payload may not expand properly; that’s a bug. I haven’t reported it despite knowing about it for a while.)

Firefox has been my primary browser since 0.93, save for a year or so on Chrome when I had to run it from a USB stick and Firefox got just too slow there. Nightly has been my daily driver for most of this decade.
You’re probably more of an expert but what you’re saying is totally unintuitive to me.

If a signal carries the “this looks like a signal” information in addition to the source information itself... isn’t that a waste of bandwidth? Wouldn’t an ideally encoded stream be indistinguishable from noise?

I can understand for practical reasons leaving some bandwidth on the table to make it easier to detect signals, but when talking about advanced alien life forms we have to assume they are playing closer to the limits of physics.
