The CP/M computers had 64 KB addressable.

That's the total of the data+instruction L1 cache on each core.

I've used WordStar on a machine with 64 KB addressable, which was as WSIWYG word processor as possible on the text monitor with 80x25 characters. It showed you all the possible actions in each step too -- what even today so many programs don't manage to do. If I remember it didn't keep the whole program in the RAM at once, but had its own swapping mechanism.

I've also used a Turbo Pascal there, which was even on such a machine amazingly fast. By default the compilation was directly to memory, no waiting on any disk.
> We have cheap and usable machine learning; it can run on neat hardware if you need it to. Meanwhile, databases are hard to tune. It seems that we could combine the two to tune automagically database systems. People are working on this. It sounds a bit crazy, but I am actually excited about it and I plan to do some of my own work in this direction.

Aren't databases well understood in comparison to machine learning? I know it would take me a lot less time to look up how to tune a database than it would to get a machine learning system up and running.
Presumably lots of successful driving video is at least a prerequisite to validating an automatic driving system, even if you're not using it for training?
>That said, this seems to conflict with the example of Tokyo, which I understand was significantly rebuilt after the second world war.

Roughly half of Tokyo was destroyed by US bombing, I'd imagine the practical and psychological result of this plays a large role in this phenomenon. And many European cities faced intense bombing in the war too, so there may be some link to what you saw.
So it's deterministic. I got the same numbers.

There's also a tiny, semi-arid desert in Norway (!) of all places - Kvitsanden (The White Sands) by Røros. (62 degrees 34 minutes North, 11 degrees 22 minutes East).

Semi-arid - annual precipitation at Røros (on a highland plain, far from the sea) is some 550mm or so, but some 150-200mm or so of this comes as snow.

The 'desert' itself is approx. a square kilometer (0.4 square miles) - large enough for desert-like phenomena like shifting dunes to occur, small enough that there aren't (to my knowledge) any wildlife there which you wouldn't also find in the surrounding area.

I'm underwhelmed by the Rust docs.

The tutorial is OK-ish, but the reference docs are weak. If I have a specific question about some detail of the language, the answer is very rarely there.

Sometimes the answer is written up in the bug-tracking system or an RFC. They don't seem to have a culture where someone making a behaviour change, or a language-definition decision, is expected to update the reference manual at the same time.
No way to know based on the given information.

Listed companies lose value and face challenges, too. Just like you wouldn't view the outcome of a GE catalyst as a binary situation where the stock either zeroes or rallies, you shouldn't view a semi mature startup that way either. Try to think of the possible outcomes, assign probabilities to them, and decide whether they're favorable.

Ultimately it's your life. Nobody else can take risks for you, nor allocate years of your career on your behalf.

If you're turning to unknown people with near-zero information to give you career advice, then what you probably need is to sort out your thoughts alone or with a trusted friend. What would the exit look like? What signs of failure do you think you have seen? What is the current trajectory?
Yeah. I'm pretty sure I'd benefit from reading those docs even if I never use ZMQ.
Too bad it gives me panic attacks.
This blogpost lays out a pretty convincing case that difference between Japanese and (say) American zoning laws are the main reason for this type of "continuous urbanization" in Japan.

No, a lot of WiFi IoT devices create a hotspot that your phone connects to. It's hacky as hell - you have to do the connection manually on iOS (unless it uses Homekit), and some devices only support one WiFi connection so they have to disconnect from your phone before attempting to connect to your network so you get zero feedback.

But it saves $2 on the BOM.
Thanks for the explanation, the file/object/data difference makes sense.

> An object is a blob of data named by a key, that you can retrieve entirely, or overwrite entirely, and where usually you automatically get a version history of old versions that have been overwritten that you can retrieve, with a cutoff for automatic GC.

And yet they refer to the objects inside as "Files" and support seeking

I know this is just bikeshedding about names and terms but it feels confused.

I think some of the confusion in the list is because of the mix of generic and product naming.

Data can be stored in datastore. But also in "spanner" or "bigtable", which are not parts of "datastore", or in "SQL" which is a language. Object can be stored in the object store called "storage" which is also within an entire category itself called "storage". So there's "Storage" which is a group of all these kinds of stores, and "Storage" which is a very specific type of store.
>Earth orbits the sun

This is not true. The earth and sun both rotate around its barycenter. The point is that the sun is so huge that the barycenter is (really) close to the center of the sun which makes it seem that the earth orbits the sun.

Subject to licensing, we intend to make the dataset available (along with loads of other big datasets for ML) using a bit-torrent like program called Dela for the Hops Hadoop platform. Maybe in 3 weeks or so, it will all be released - with this dataset.
Dela integrates with HDFS/S3/GCS backends, and it supports NAT traversal, and a delay-based congestion control over UDP - good for high bandwidth/high latency networks. See http://www.hops.io and our paper - https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7980225/

Ask HN: How get started with reading books?
I am a non native English speaker. I have tried to start reading books in the past (successfully read one). Due to my limited knowledge of vocabulary (also I tend to forget the ones I learn now and then), it get's harder to get hooked to a book as I have to look up definition every now and then and it hampers the flow. What methodologies do you suggest to get started reading again?

On a side note: I do read a lot of technical/not technical blogs, links posted on HN etc.

This was the only point that struck me as well. I believe the author was referring to self-tuning within a general case (ie. as part of the DB software to be deployed against many new databases) rather than one-off ML-based tuning (ie. as part of a manual optimization effort for an existing database).

Of course, the real optimization should be for legibility and maintainability... human time being far more important than machine time. But that wouldn't allow fetish discussions diving in to low level efficiencies, now would it?

Any sufficiently complex system acts as a black box when it becomes easier to experiment with than to understand. Hence, black-box optimization has become increasingly important as systems become more complex. - Google Vizier: a service for black-box optimization Golovin et al., KDD'17

You seem to have confused “unique” with “minor”. Delta 9 THC may be common in cannabis, but it is unique to cannabis. The title isn't weird at all.

Also, delta 9 THC may be the most common cannabinoid in cannabis (well, in one of three major chemotypes), but it's not the most common compound in the cannabis plant.
Oh, wow, another advertisement. I don't know why, but that instantly disregards any meaningful point OP wanted to say...
I believe a number of factors tell the tale:

* As noted, the zoning laws and general policies surrounding real estate have made it so that residential development keeps with demand. In every developed area, the buildings consistently climb to 8 stories high. I can't speak for Europe but this is something the U.S. simply cannot do within its existing policy regime, now that the automobile suburbs are built out. It's stuck with an escalating price bubble for the foreseeable future.

* The shinkansen itself cannot be underestimated either. Other cities tend to be like "suburbs of Tokyo" in the Japanese model, taking pressure off the city to go supertall.

* Although you can find neighborhoods with large office parks and highways(e.g. Akasaka), the zoning laws permit using your home to do business, which reduces average commutes and requirements for dedicated workspace, and goes a long way to explain the high degree of similarity between any two random urban streets in the country.

* The rail lines are also real estate companies, which creates a virtuous cycle around every transit stop to pile on amenities and maximize the attractiveness of each neighborhood. You have to go quite far out to find "sleepy" train stations.

* The keiretsu business model that built contemporary Japan is likewise intertwined with the transit and development pattern. The economics of the conglomerate dictate that business units should complement and support each other which allows for a certain degree of robustness, further encouraging neighborhoods that have many similar patterns. Even in Sapporo, with it's 19th-century gridded blocks designed by an American, the overall development is distinctly Japanese. U.S. style patterns tend to favor superlative extremes of optimization - the biggest, the fastest, the most profitable - and not average case outcomes. Manhattan may be exceptional simply because we've assumed every city should be exceptional.

I think your understanding of cancer is a little flawed.
It's not just "the organism will get cancer" or not, it's horribly complex. Different cancers develop from different differentiated cells, and often it's a combination of genetics, environment and chance that causes cancer.

From my understanding, they've put a lot of work into lowering the cost of storage. I know at one point they were using arrays of consumer-grade drives, and they've done a bunch of analysis on the cost and reliability of drives on the market.

Library Genesis/SciHub[1], and its various access portals[2].

Honestly LibGen+SciHub is doing more for humanity than almost any organization I know of. It's the next generation complement (not replacement) of Wikipedia -- truly opening the entirety of Man's knowledge to anyone.

I don't oppose paying content creators, but I suspect the vast majority of people accessing this knowledge wouldn't do so under traditional publishing. This shows copyright is largely outdated, not serving society optimally as it should.

As for Bitcoin and blockchains... my opinion is that they are extremely useful for efforts like those (and other niches like totalitarian states), if not much else. Perhaps paradoxically I also (controversially) think they should be outlawed and/or heavily regulated (outlawed but as a lightweight non-criminal offense). The potential for theft and money laundering is too large otherwise.

In the limit where everyone used perfect secrecy coins, paying taxes would need to be largely voluntary. And I suppose we all know how well that would turn out.

So I think cryptocurrencies are meant to be underground. It will always be possible to acquire some under the censorship conditions they are really useful for. So restricting their usage mainly curbs trivialized laundering.

Yeah, considering NFSv4 was published almost 20 years ago (December 2000), not supporting it is kinda disappointing.
On my home network, all my device have IPv6. Unfortunately, it not native IPv6: the AT&T LTE device I use for my home internet doesn't support IPv6. (Why LTE? It's a long story- I frequently travel, and I take my connection with me. Comcast doesn't make much sense. LTE latency and bandwidth are good enough)

Anyway, whenever I get a server, I make sure IPv6 is supported. No IPv6, no business from me -- even for a VPS.

With IPv6, I don't have to worry about NAT: I can always ssh to any of my machines (or the VMs) from anywhere. It's just simpler.

When I'm abroad and don't have IPv6, I ssh to one of my servers so I can connect to my home devices. That's a nuisance I'd like to avoid.

It's nice to know TMob is going IPv6 only. When I replace my "home" LTE internet, I may switch from AT&T to TMobile if the price is competitive.
I love reading about modern CPUs, SIMD, cache efficiency etc. But then people serialise the hell out of their data and send it over the network (sometimes across regions), so all the benefit is gone. I hope people start processing data on single nodes more often, I see too much distributed processing when a single node will do.
> IIRC the instruction was interruptible on a byte-by-byte basis, so it's not like you ruined your interrupt response time.

Yes, LDIR is basically the same as the LDI instruction with the little difference that the PC is reset to the start of the LDIR instruction until BC is 0. It's basically a microcoded LDI+conditional jump, and interrupt handling, DRAM refresh etc... happens at each step, since from the CPU's point of view, it's just executing a lot of single instructions while LDIR is running.
Cool, you guys should send out mailings to your customers when new offerings come online. I asked about s3 at the end of last year and was told it is currently unavailable for new customers. I haven't thought to check if it was available until now and may have gone to a more expensive competitor.

> "At WWDC 2015 Apple announced the transition to
IPv6-only network services in iOS 9. Starting June 1,
2016 all apps submitted to the App Store must
support IPv6-only networking."

In effect this is not true, as a developer without the time to fully implement IPv6-only networking I've been slapped with this rule in the app store review guidelines for non-complying apps numerous times. Just submit a new review and you'll get another reviewer who does not check this and you'll pass.

The rule they cite is also that you have to be able to support IPv6 for iPad-apps, not iPhone apps...

So even if it's the rule, I think that in reality it's not going to be true for all the users apps.

Great summary, hopefully the EU can deliver what these companies are asking for.
Hetzner is a bare-metal company operating since 1997, which hasn't released a cloud-based storage yet.

"Your files on Storage Boxes are safeguarded with a RAID configuration which can withstand several drive failures. Therefore, there is a relatively small chance of data being lost. Please note, however, that you are responsible for your data and there is no guarantee from Hetzner against potential loss of data. The data is not mirrored onto other servers."

A rule that is not enforced properly does not invalidate the rule. Do you want to rely for your app to get approved to get a non-enforcing reviewer forever in the future? Also think of your customers on networks like TMo.

Despite his conclusion, he likely answers it here:

• The Client / Server CDN-centric Internet does not require each
endpoint to have a globally unique permanent address

• Addresses are increasingly being used in the role of ephemeral session tokens, not as persistent endpoint identifiers

If you have to support ipv4 anyway and the benefit of ipv6 for your services is not high enough, why bother?
