It's nigh impossible to solve any complex issue with the "simplest solution" from the first try. This means that when you're faced with a complex issue you will postpone the fix because it's not the simplest.

And you never know if it can be done in an even simpler fashion later.
Cool tnx
CO or N would be completely painless. CO is often called the "silent killer" as many humans die from it every year. Doesn't need to be pure CO or anything. Nitrogen would need to be pure but is similarly silent and painless. There is a video online of a pig lured into a nitrogen filled chamber by food. He loses consciousness, recovers, and goes straight back to the food like nothing has happened.

As for CO_2, I recommend trying to breathe the gas at the top of bottle of pop without wanting to violently withdraw from the pain.

"Just stop eating fish" is not a solution, in the same sense that one brick does not make a building. You need very many bricks, and you need a very significant amount of people to stop eating fish for the problem to be solved.

So it has the ten thousand x86 and x64 registers in addition to the ten thousand ?PCI registers?

> The cores are quite simple by today's standards

That's my point; today's CPUs don't have "ultra-simple" as a option (at modern feature densities).

> IME is unrelated to the cores

Fair point, I probably should have added "and doesn't have technicalities like builtin malware" to my original post.

Auto Scaling Production Services on Titus – Netflix TechBlog – Medium
I have a toy problem that I throw at anyone who thinks they've "solved" parsing: Haskell list comprehensions. A list comprehension takes the form

"[" EXPR "|" STMT["," STMT]* "]"

Where STMT is given by:

STMT ::= EXPR | PAT "<-" EXPR

The problem is that, until you see that "<-", you don't know whether you're supposed to be parsing a pattern PAT or an expression EXPR. This is extra hard because patterns and expressions overlap significantly; for example, "(x, Left 2)" could be either a pattern or expression. But "(x, Left (2+3))" is definitely an expression. You can get arbitrarily deep into parsing a pattern before you realize it's actually an expression!

Recursive descent parsers, even with precedence climbing, can't really handle this nicely. Neither can LL or LR parsers. In fact, GHC's actual parser uses a hack: it parses patterns as expressions, and as a post-processing step checks that the expression it parsed actually was a valid pattern! This works IF your patterns are a subset of your expressions. But if there are patterns that aren't valid expressions (Racket's match-patterns have this property), then you need to get even cleverer.

General-purpose parsing algorithms like GLR, GLL, parsing with derivatives, and Earley parsing (which Kegler advocates) can handle this, of course, although I'm not sure how efficiently they do it.

I never understood why such changes -- dramatic as they may be -- were seen as a cause of concern, except in cases where the changes affected our food supply.

Humans may be responsible for the decimation or outright extinction of entire species, but isn't that how Nature works? Nature has encountered countless extinctions before us (where's the Megalodon now?) and at least 5 mass extinctions, so why should this dynamic cease now?

(I get the emotional argument for conservationism, and I even share it, even though I might not sound that way. But I've always considered that something purely subjective, not objective, and arguably just as manipulative of Nature.)
There are many widely used data formats, such as OpenDocument files, that are XML underneath, often packaged up as .zip files. Much engineering data, such as KiCAD printed circuit board layout info, is in XML. COLLADA, for 3D animation and robotics, is XML. Open Street Map is XML. If you need to represent a large, complex tree-structured data object portably, XML is still usually the way to go.

In my CS education, very very little of what I learned was directly applicable to the outside world. My school did not offer classes teaching languages and frameworks. That was left up to us in our free time. Much of what I did learn in school was mostly the math and theories of CS, and I am so glad that I have that experience. I believe it sets you apart and opens far more doors than many realize.

Near to the Scottish village where I grew up there was a cliff sided promontory reaching out into the sea - this had once held a Pictish fort from well over 1000 years ago and you can easily pick out fragments of burned wood from areas of erosion.

Perhaps it was burned down as part of an early Viking raid (there were notable battles against the Vikings in the area) - who knows?

Edit: Stuff like that is one of the reasons I love living in the UK - the hill behind the house where I currently live has a staggering amount of history - from a Roman camp of Agricola, to a dark age fort, to medieval stuff, 19th century industry and 20th century wars. And that's one small fairly unexceptional hill.....
I think it is at least a slight difference, if it is possible to collect data about many domains in one place, or if you have to visit each and check out the notice in the impressum.

Not surprising to see such an article in Guardian, known for its left of center leanings. Most of the billionaires in India have public listed companies, and have multiplied their wealth with the resultant growth in the stock markets, hence also contributing to wealth of investors. India's stock market is far superior and far open, to the ones in China, helping in faster monetization of their business. I do remember reading here about the crazy patterns in stocks in China last year, hitting the circuit every day for weeks and months, because they were allowed to list at a much lower value with very low circuit breakers, growing at 5% everyday like clockwork. The same happened in the opposite direction earlier this year and the Chinese market regulator actually stopped trading in many stocks trying to prevent their fall.

The much maligned demonetization exercise carried out in end 2016 had at least one major positive - people started putting their money into mutual funds rather than buying gold. The size of Indian funds has grown manifold since then, and their contribution has bypassed that of foreign funds. With growing number of people entering the middle class with disposable incomes, this is only going to go up.

As for the people like Nirav Modi and Vijay Mallya, an Insolvency and Bankruptcy code was introduced in 2016 which has started showing results. Previously banks would spend years trying to get loans back from defaulters with very little coming back. This law allows quick bankruptcy and sale of assets while they still hold value.

There is certainly no harm in rise of billionaires if there is reasonable trickle down effect. And comparing the numbers with China is a bit apples to oranges as its a far more closed society with potentially many more unknown billionaires in the ranks of the Communist Party.

Communication channels formula where n is team members: n(n-1)/2 [1]

As teams grow, not only do communication channels increase exponentially, individual contribution decreases overall and there is less ownership/responsibility so people care less i.e. a team of 100 has 99 other people to pick up slack, a team of 1 has noone else, a team of 3 has 2 people that will let the third know of slackage, where a team of 100 may never be able to apply that.

Small teams get it all done, and sometimes single people, especially language designers like Guido, Stroustrup, Ritchie, Matz, Eich, etc and especially in the beginning.

Small team strategy even in big companies is very smart and effective to get the best performance out of each contributor. Small team configuration does give some power and worth to employees though so it isn't used as much in large companies that looks at employees as resources in a machine. Employees as resources may work for established products/processes but rarely research and development or creative products.

Building a better news experience on YouTube, together
I ran a 13TH mine of KNC Neptunes and Jupiters in 2014. I failed up from a deal where I designed boards for Avalon ASICs, set up the production pipeline, then the chips got stolen by the Chinese government (as far as I can tell), and my chip broker paid me back in BTC when it was at about $12. Then it shot up... $200... $300... I REALLY wanted to run a mine and I got in through a friend early on the Neptunes. They were late and gave us a bunch of Jupiters they had already mined to death. Eventually our Neptunes showed up. I got the office in my little rental house wired up with some 220 breakers and turned my tiny house into a space heater. I had to insulate the windows in this front office that got the August setting sun. I literally had to let my neighbors in for a tour so they knew I wasn't growing weed. They were not really convinced I wasn't doing anything illegal. When the sun hit, I had to put misters on my 2TON window AC unit so the room wouldn't heat soak. That was in addition to the 2TON that already fed the house.

I couldn't get people to sign mine share contracts with me to support the operating costs, I ended up spending most of it on my power bill, food, and my therapist (that sounds like it's a joke, but it's not). At the time my tiny run-of-the-mill software consultancy barely kept it's head above water. This thing actually put me deeply in the red. Texas summers. heh.

All the people I offered those mine shares to have called me this year thinking I was on to something! I wasn't on to something, I lucked into a situation and did something with computers that I liked. I didn't hold shit. I regret nothing. After the 2014 crash, everyone was saying "I told you so!" and I had some bills to pay. Jokes on them, I had a blast.

I really love what blockchain can do for consensus. I love that ETH can be used for address resolution outside of DNS. I love what is happening with IPFS. There is so much growing out of this that is good.

A partner in my mine got me on a call a year and a half ago with a friend of his from Bloomberg. The call was (from my perspective) supposed to be about my AR GIS platform. It turned out the dude was specifically a crypto journalist and had a stake in a Puerto Rico "Crypto Hedge Fund". Whatever that is. To his surprise, I had no opinions on hot coins!

Unlike the internet, the first "killer app" for this was about literally printing money. It's not a fair comparison. The real work that is happening with decentralized systems around this stuff is happening quietly. How many of you are listening to podcasts about DNS? People want to get rich quick. Sharks love to eat people that want that. It's a shame people got shucked.

Last year when people decided to give me calls about it, especially friends and family, my response was "How much do you know about cryptography? How much do you think you understand this stuff? I barely understand it. In my opinion, no one really understands what we are doing or what we are capable of with it. That doesn't make it an investment. Stick your money in an index fund."

Hmm... I don't think the comparison says anything about Hadoop vs Bash. The programs they are running are completely different.

In that article, the author runs a regular expression that looks lines that start with "Result" in the pgn files. Then they do a tiny bit of processing with awk.

In the original article[0] the author completely parses the pgn files. Then they extract the result from the parsed file.

I wouldn't be surprised if the difference came completely from that.

I would love to see someone run benchmark the exact same program and see how much of a difference there really is between Hadoop and Bash.

Not good. I've been tracking the prices in Mumbai which has the most expensive market with the least supply in India and prices have not moved since 2014. There is potential for drastic fall as per the unsold inventory which may take over 7 years to sell based on current sales numbers.
The Delhi-NCR market has seen drops of 20-25% as its a much bigger market and developers do not have the financial muscle compared to the ones in Mumbai.

> Politicians spend the money to fund campaigns, but also on handing out favours, jobs and cash to constituents. “It’s sort of an unholy nexus,” as Raghuram Rajan put it to me during his tenure as head of India’s central bank. “Poor public services? Politician fills the gap; politician gets the resources from the businessman; politician gets re-elected by the electorate for whom he’s filling the gap.”

I know this will never be popular opinion, but as a citizen of a poor, developing country with widespread corruption, I sometimes have to wonder: is democracy really the best model for poor nations that don't have the foundations to foster it?

YouTube still can’t get the obvious basics right however.

I watch msnbc, cnn and a few other news channels on YouTube.

Every time, the top suggestions are from random accounts that seem to be reposting from the original source, presumably to get some sort of benefit.

YouTube doesn’t seem to even know that is happening, or has no interest in fixing it.

If YiuTube can’t handle the most basic requirement of the news which is to publish the original news source versus a pirated one, how can YouTube handle any other news authenticity challenge?

There are also huge human health concerns, because a lot of the feed of aquaculture fish (53% of fish consumed by humans today) is made from other caught fish, which leads to toxic bioaccumulation:

> farmed fish can harm wild populations because often their feed, made from wild fish such as sardines and anchovies, is caught at sea and they can cause pollution
The problem with that is that math expressions are just another grammar from the point of view of the parser generator, so if that is handled incorrectly then the parser generator is broken. You see this problem in recursive descent parser generators that try to handle left recursion. In other words, incorrect handling of precedence is just one symptom of the bug. If you hand write the parser then you can work around that on a case by case basis, but a parser generator should be correct on all grammars.

I think here deserve is the wrong term, semantically speaking.

Investors do not decide who "deserves" more money, they decide who GETS it.

Deserving is more a moral term and makes things confusing: a company could deserve the money but not get it because they are not good enough at fundraising, or they need the money at a time when money is very hard to get etc. And many companies get money without deserving it because some investors are stupid, or because they are way too good at looking shiny.
We're not talking about no WHOIS, we're talking about reducing the number of WHOIS contacts, and not publishing WHOIS information for everybody to see it. Which yes, would means now you need e.g. a court order first before you'd get that information. So I guess "pursuing rogue domains gets harder" is one way to put it, or more legally correct another.

For law enforcement this isn't a problem. For scummy copyright lawyers looking to make a quick buck, maybe it is. Guess which of those funds ICANN? And how exactly would not making WHOIS info public "facilitat[e] copyright infringement"? Nobody is buying it.

Smarter people are great: you can full-heartedly delegate decisions and say "you are the expert, please decide, I trust you".

See yourself as part of the team with the unique position of gathering information from experts, coordinating and depending on your responsibilities care for the well being of the team and the development of the individuals in it.

About tons of priorities: Here I struggle more myself, because I'm not in the position to delegate much of my own work.

What I do: I write down everything (for me it's org-mode, but that's a matter of taste). This includes tasks of others I delegated (in my system marked as WAIT). ~10% of my tasks are marked as high priority.

This waiting thing however drives me mad. Within my team we use a ticketing system and things get done, but I constantly have to do things with ~7 people outside of my department and have to run after them constantly. Even if they have to-do tools where I make them tickets. I'm at ~30 todo items (that's low for me) and ~70 waiting (that's normal).
I could have been clearer but I certainly didn't mean to imply it was based on the overall vote rather refute the idea that the democrats lost on a technicality.
I'm not saying change it again, but that sounds like the emissions are occurring internally.
