I'm surprised at the idea though, and pretty skeptical that it's actually the case since I would have assumed many others with medical knowledge would also have noticed, and one of them would have corrected things eventually.
Ah, I saw this last night. Here is a blog post about the article: http://approximatelycorrect.com/2018/07/10/troubling-trends-...
I've always said if the Linux kernel can be a giant monolith, in C no less, than there's maybe 100 web applications in the world that need to be split into multiple services.

I've worked with microservices a lot. It's a never-ending nightmare. You push data consistency concerns out of the database and between service boundaries.

Fanning out one big service in parallel with a matching scalable DB is by far the most sane way to build things.

>I bet the root of this is a Warner Bros exec that lives at the top of one of the Hollywood hills and wants to eliminate traffic from his own house.

That I'd believe.
Concise yet impactful. Thanks!
They want to make money selling tickets for the tramway:

> Under the proposal, the studio would share ticketing revenue with the city to support park activities, the company said in a letter to Los Angeles Recreation and Parks Department General Manager Michael Shull and Chief Legislative Analyst Sharon Tso. Warner Bros. did not say how much it might charge for the tram ride.

They believe the tourists are causing a problem and that they have a solution:

> Several months ago, Gilbert said, he and a group of Warner Bros. executives drove to Hollywood Lake Park to observe the heavy traffic near the popular landmark. He saw one driver wave a selfie stick while trying to steer a red convertible, he said.

> “We know the problem is getting worse, and the city is looking for a solution,” he said. “We believe we're uniquely qualified. We've been around a long time, we’re local, and we believe we have a good answer.”

We can also unquestionably say that communism is not the only alternative. For the record I am not an authoritarian communist and I don't think it's a good alternative.

I was very specific. I said "state corporatist capitalism" because there are even capitalist alternatives to that such as voluntarist libertarian capitalism and communitarian/co-op oriented capitalism. Our system is one of state-backed corporate capitalism backed by a centrally managed financial system and closely tied to defense and intelligence agencies. It was accurately termed the "military-industrial complex" by Dwight Eisenhower, a communist... err... wait... Eisenhower was a conservative Christian and a Republican.

Your comment is exactly what I mean. We can't discuss alternatives because there seems to have been some campaign to gerrymander the language and discourse such that any questioning of the official system instantly implies that you're a Leninist or alternately a Hitlerist.

TL;DR; By "destroys people" he means "destroys their relationship with nature" and causes a sedentary lifestyle which leads to "industrial-scale afflictions of cancer, mental illness, obesity, heart disease, auto-immune disorders and food intolerances".

He should probably use technology to look up the actual causes of some of those. As well as observe the fact that lots of people are not sedentary despite their heavy use of technology.
The 1Password X extension works great on linux [1], including Chrome and Firefox.

> Though I'm looking forward to the next cringeworthy cali startup meme.

Like half a cringeworthy Cali startup’s engineers spending their morning at Sightglass discussing an article about a password manager software being bought and lamenting whatever that future holds for Windows support, you mean? While their white male founder is parading around saying he’s making the world a better place with his singular vision about a grand Kubernetes mumble mumble, but entertaining a slow progression of M&A offers to cash out and just dump the entire company on Red Hat or Google to sort out because “serial entrepreneur” is a better title than ever hitting one nail or dropping one load of fries? Meanwhile, deadlines keep missing because the engineers are busy commenting on this article as noted, and arguing about JavaScript frameworks, and “WFH” every Tuesday and Thursday because commuting like everyone else for $175,000 cash is just too hard for precious snowflake engineers (seriously, have you smelled BART?), and God help anyone who schedules a 10am meeting. Remember, machine learning is this cycle’s password to get a YC check, and start your own journey to enriching your wealth and throwing a bunch of starry-eyed people who mystifyingly trusted you into whatever horrible business unit of whatever horrible corporation writes you the check you’ve earned on account of your complete lack of professional experience, biological fortunes, and who you’ve done cocaine and/or Bitcoin with most recently. Oh, and you were so busy making money, you didn’t stop to notice you’ve literally handed every nation state in the world citizenry command and control capabilities they only could have dreamed of before this stupid industry found a whiteboard and daringly ventured, “what if we put millions of dollars into letting Justin Bieber type 140 characters to fans, because that could never go wrong?”

Did you mean that kind of meme? If not, I may have some bad news.

You added an unnecessary level of indirection. The startups don’t have memes. They are the meme.
Sounds plausible, but it is surprising this special case handling would be automated.
Although it's still a net good, I consider it distasteful to do something good solely or mostly for the publicity it brings, especially in cases like this where it took extra effort to publicize it.

Had Elon Musk not made a big deal about it but a media company found out and publicized it, I wouldn't blame him for that.

How could you see it as anything but a gender issue? Expressing frustration at the way female devs are treated is what they got fired for. What do you reckon it's actually about if not gender? Checkers? Ethics in gaming journalism?

I don't have any visibility into their load. However 16+ cores and 256GB RAM combined with RAIDed SSDs should be able to handle quite a bit of traffic.

It's my opinion that memory bandwidth is a contributing factor to how well interpreted languages (Discourse runs on Ruby) perform. Since the hardware is dedicated, all available memory bandwidth can be used; on AWS you (may) share memory bandwidth between all VMs on the physical hardware.

Just checked my Windows machine: 17 GB Windows folder. I do occasionally clean out caches etc, but also have the Linux Subsystem set up.

Neither. And that's a false choice.

I like it, you took all the clearly written statements and added non sequiturs and grammatical errors to them.
Agreed.

Reading about their setup and comparing with some truly large scale services I work with, I'm left with the idea that Segment's service is roughly the size of one microservice on our end.

Perhaps the takeaway is don't go overboard with fragmenting services when they conceptually fulfill the same business role. And regardless of the architecture of the system, there are hard state problems to deal with in association with service availability.
There's a guy that's digitizing them to get more accurate classifications as to the strength of the blasts and the sad thing is he's finding that some of the canisters are full of basically dust from some of the film disintegrating. :(
Ask HN: Homomorphic Encryption library over GPU
I have been using HElib for a few months now.

I am wondering whether there are any implementation of the HELib over GPU is available, or anybody is working on that. Or is there any good implementation of other homomorphic encryption library over GPU is available.

I don't know how to code with CUDA yet. However, if I don't find an implementation, I may start working on this myself.
 WWDC2018 Notes
We have a custom service that requires a Java jar that plugs into an application server. Our partner org only supports this on CentOS/Fedora/RedHat.

This also talks to another service, which is an Apache binary plugin provided by another partner org who once again only supports CentOS/Fedora/RedHat. This Apache plugin not only requires Apache, but it has to sit on top of a properly configured Fuse file system. For extra fun, we have to run 4 copies of this Apache server with 4 different license keys which are all hard-coded to the same damn file on the file system (thanks assholes).

This application server sits behind an Nginx proxy for a variety of annoying reasons (routing, rewriting response output, security stuff, etc.). We also package it up with a Python server that does some additional delegated work depending on the type of request.

Oh, and we run all of the rest of our infrastructure on Ubuntu.

All these different pieces work together to provide a "single" service. None of them make any sense on their own.

We wrap up all these services and deploy them as a unit. We deploy them to a couple servers behind a load balancer. There's no point breaking them out into separate layers on different servers, we'd just be wasting computation resources as this system sits idle most of the day. We pack them in as tightly as we can manage given the above constraints.

There's some consolidation we could potentially do, i.e. we could do some of the routing in Apache thus removing our dependency on Nginx, but uh, we use Nginx everywhere else.

We could remove the Python piece, write it as another Java jar and plug it into the application server, but again, most of our other stuff is in Python.

This is the kind of stuff where Docker is really useful. It gives us a uniform interface to all of these different pieces. It gives us centralized logging, resource control, process management, service dependency management, isolation (4 instances of Apache with their 4 damn license keys in the same location but isolated form each other), deployment, etc.

If you don't have these kinds of problems, then you might not need Docker. If you do have these kinds of problems, Docker is a life saver.

Do I like that it's this way? No. But this is the reality of the business we are in and we have to accommodate the needs of our biggest customers otherwise we can't pay the bills.
I specifically use keepassx and v2 format keepass file db, separately, because it is not integrated with any browser via extension or plugin. Keeping things compartmentalized reduces risk in my opinion.

And unless I copy the locally stored .kdbx file somewhere manually, it has zero interaction with any network, cloud based service, or third party beyond my control.
do you have a citation for that?
> it's now very hard to even talk about any alternative to state corporatist capitalism

I don't think this is true: Millenials and Gen-Z are increasingly supportive of socialism and sometimes outright communism. The party machinery of the traditional left has been resisting this effort, as you say, but that wall is crumbling and will not last forever; e.g. see the improbable successes of Corbyn, Sanders, etc.

I’ve seen no evidence of that and with the severity of your claim should you should include a source or two.

Perhaps you’re confusing people disagreeing with your view with people attempting to silence you. Those are two very different things.

Recall the Occupy Wall Street protest where they camped out in downtown NYC for a month? They broke all sorts of laws but were allowed to stay. That doesn’t sound like “extermination”.

What I do see is violence from communist and anarchists against speech that they deem fascists, but are really just moderate voices. I can provide video links if you need, but it’s common knowledge at this point.

We still live in a democracy and so long as we do, you’re going to have to live with consensus, which doesn’t see things your way.

I actually do go through the 5 steps you mentioned, but the problem is I don't see parts of the algorithm I'm missing until test cases fail or until I'm actually translating to code.

The need to make what I'm thinking precise and understandable to the computer or the oversight of edge cases or, sometimes, an entire set of cases I didn't have in mind originally when coming up with the high level solution, evades me until I hit a wall. I don't know how to know what I don't know- I don't know how to see what I'm overlooking when it sounds like a solid and complete algorithm on a high level.

Then there are times when I simply don't know where to start and nothing comes to me. I think your outline is good, but I'm not sure what to do with it if the ideas and logic simply don't come to my head.
I had this problem with Gitlab until I worked out how to use it's built in cache mechanism to save the .m2 directory, the bit I was missing was to force maven to use a different location for that directory.

Who said folks in 'the crowd' aren't experts? Sure, many aren't, and there's noise, but you get that same thing even with 'professional auditors' (some pass themselves as experts but aren't). In the latter case, at the end of the day, you have to trust some charismatic CEO because you have no other option if you want to use their product. That's a terrible wager to take from a security perspective.
Unless it has chemically changed considerably it's a problem. My impression is they are saying "don't worry, chunks aren't going to break off because it's melted into the bitumen" and are wholly ignoring the micro scale.

It is well attested that these human rights declarations have a strong western bias. I am personally fine with that. But what about other societies that don't agree with the declarations? There will need to be international treaties and policies, similar to nuclear policies, that keep everyone on board.

I think you are right. It's very hard to have a common understanding of human values and ethics. But regarding "rights" and their universality, I should say how is it "well attested that these human rights declarations have a strong western bias?" I agree there are biases, cultural differences, etc. But, do we have any other framework that is more universal (and well-defined) than human rights? I myself am from a non-western developing country, I studied EE and also Human Rights Studies. With regards to AI and ethics, in fact, whenever I talk to non-western individuals they emphasize on the importance of human rights framework instead of abstract words such as "ethics", "values", etc.

This might surprise you but 185 countries have ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women except "the US" and 6 other countries including Sudan, Somalia, etc. the US has neither ratified the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. You can find out about all the countries here, you'll be surprised: http://indicators.ohchr.org/

My point is not to speak negatively about the US and its commitment to the international human rights treaties but to mention that these treaties are more universal than you think. At a digital rights conference, I spoke with a Tunisian digital rights activist, I used a phrase "ethics in AI" and she corrected me to actually say the word "human rights." Because it has a clear framework, it has clear indicators and metrics to measure (to some extent), it's legally binding (depending on different cases and with respect to certain actors), not anybody (in this case any company) can create its own definition and interpretation.
Can you expand on that a bit? Can Hugo not take other formats?

I use Pelican. It supports markdown and rst out of the box. It's fairly easy to write a plugin to support another format. So I wrote one that takes in Org files (I think it just uses pandoc behind the scenes to convert to rst). Writing posts is much better now that I can author them in Org mode.

So if someone wants to author in Org mode, but not use the clunky Org exporters, consider using a static site generator that allows you to have a custom input format.
I think you have it backwards. Abolishing prayer in school is not authoritarianism and doesn’t reduce personal freedom. You’re still free to pray on your own at school.
Having an official religion is authoritarian (unless it’s a religious school), and pressuring people to participate in a prayer is pressuring them to have less personal freedom (from your religion).

I guess authoritarians tend to view a policy which gives equal preference to everyone as an attack on their “special status” and a reduction of their freedoms.
