Facebook's PAR is a self-extracting zip file, I assume Google's is similar. XARs are self-mounting SquashFS archives (a compressed read only filesystem). This means that XARs don't have to be extracted to a temporary directory to run, they can run in place. Zip files have to be completely extracted before running, but SquashFS decompresses pages on the fly, so startup times are much faster (especially with zstd compression).

Another way to look at the Bay is that s previously unique American cultural center has already been irrevocably destroyed by yuppies and big tech firms who felt the need to drop anchor there. Maybe some pressure to spread out the impact of that “economic success” beyond a single city is more valuable than building ArcologySF? The world’s cities don’t need to be aggressively homogenized for the sake of affordable rents for an influx of techies. It’s a big world, stop crowding into one tiny, devastated corner of it.

From my own experience, therapy was only the first step. It wasn't the solution. The further I went down the path (more than 10 years on my own, couples therapy for over a year with my ex-wife, and two separate one week intensive experiential retreats) the less helpful it was. After doing work with a Zen coach, meditating regularly and going on a ten day silent meditation retreat what became clear to me is that therapy tends to drag one's focus back to what happened in the past to explain the present. I think therapy has a place. I think it would be exceedingly difficult to create a valid study that proves what this piece claims.

This was a necessary tradeoff in order to offer 32GB RAM in the 15" machines. After years of delays, Intel's chipsets still do not support LPDDR4. It's possible that it's still the same chipset on both machines, though.

Nuclear weapons were not free to develop.
Also this architectures assume there's no need to do the dreaded "network locking", which for some problems regarding dispatch and avoiding triggering expensive/non idempotent batch jobs on background needs to be done. If you want to rely on SQL to do all the locking for you this usually doesn't scale.
AT&T did this for Uverse - it’s unicast for 5 seconds then it switches over to multicast. I assume there’s some key frames and h26x codec configuration that’s necessary.

Unfortunately multicast doesn’t work across the internet. It’s typically filtered or ignored I think.
How do you know the quality is acceptable on something like test strips? I don't know anything about the specific here, but I would have thought that you especially would care about brand for single-use test supplies, because you just have to trust the manufacturer regarding their false positive/negative rates.

(this sounds more combative than I mean because internet text is hard - i'm genuinely curious)
Supply has going up (many producers), and demand has fallen relative to that - as evidenced by the price falls and margin collapse for miners.

In the real mining industry we see the same effect, where there is a commodity price (for say Nickel or Iron), and the suppliers, faced with very high capital costs, will continue to produce until their marginal cost is underneath the marginal revenue. At this stage they slow or mothball mines, smelters and refineries. That comes at a huge cost.

The last mines left are the ones with the most efficient costs/tonne, which is combination of access to ore, the type of ore, the closeness and efficiency of smelters and refineries and so on. A big part of it is the scale of the operation, and how up to date the equipment is, but also how well it is all operated.

Aluminium refining is particularly relevant, as electricity is one of the main input costs. We have seen refineries close down and sell their power back during extended periods of high electricity prices and relatively low aluminium prices (e.g. when Enron dove up Ca. prices). Newer/larger aluminium plants are fr more efficient, but the price of electricity is everything.

(I've led turnarounds at very large nickel and alumninium smelters/refineries and helped others with their turnarounds on mines/operations)

In the case of bacon mining the main factors are, once the computing equipment is acquired, the price of electricity and the conversion efficiency per kWh.
If you liked Banks, I can recommend Alastair Reynolds's "Revelation Space" and "Poseidon's Children" series.
Imagine going on a trip nearly 1000 miles away and finding out after the fact that you got a crappy fake SD card from Amazon that made 90% of your photos unrecoverable.

If you checkout dhall-text and dhall-json, you can see you can use it without any integration into your executable. I do this via shell scripts.
So the 2400MHz DDR4 is obviously faster because of the increased bus speed right? LP just mean low power.
I'm not saying the label is wrong, but I agree with the parent's sentiment for a more specific label. "How to design a large-scale CRUD system" seems more precise.

Large scale systems come in many different shapes and forms; this is an instance of one of them. Its learnings are interdisciplinary and cross-functional, but this isn't the roadmap for other types of systems, especially asynchronous reactive systems.
Since nobody recommended them yet: Alastair Reynolds's "Revelation Space" and "Poseidon's Children" are wonderful sci-fi series.
The way I look at this is everything becomes a job if you have to do it enough. Ask a game tester what playing games can be like.

tl;dr - an interactive notebook, that accepts Jupyter files, for folks who usually use MS Office.

From their FAQ:

> Stencila allows you collaborate with colleagues who use other tools than RMarkdown and Jupyter Notebook, without you having to give up your favourite tool. Stencila Coverters make it possible to open documents in various formats (R Markdown - Rmd, Jupyter Notebook - ipynb and so on) in Stencila. The conversion is lossless for all interactive parts (such as code cells).

Nice to see dat part of the conversation.
Wow man, a puff piece article written directly before an election of how good and noble one candidate is. Not exactly hard hitting proof there.

Not even counting that the DNC of 2000 is the same in 2018. Or that Hillary was as good (or bad) a candidate as Gore.

Edit: I think a more fair reference would be looking at Clinton's past to see if there was anything ever questionable or sketchy. Like for instance... Did Clinton ask CNN's Donna Brazil to not send any more debate questions that would be asked later that week? No, she didn't.
Oh, I thought it was doing some kind of prime search. But you have to give it a list of primes to start with? How about one of:

print [(x,x+2) for x in primes if (x+2 in primes)]

print [(x,y) for x, y in zip(primes, primes[1:]) if x+2 == y]

The simpler one doesn't even require the primes list to be sorted, so I thought the second one would be more equivalent. It's still a lot easier to read and write than Egison one.
Haha 'othiym23 must be the most-downvoted person on GitHub. He is constantly rejecting reasonable patches that make big improvements, because NIH. FOSS, you're doing it wrong.

It seems possible that npm having been burning all their development cycles on their new "community", which will allow them to reject patches and black-hole the record of that rejection. TFA was "archived" yesterday, so the voting has stopped, but it ain't a pretty picture. It will be so convenient when the next major vuln comes up, people say "why didn't you accept that PR?" and 'othiym23 will say "what PR?" If you're not going to fix your shit, why not spend some time building a GitHub clone so you can pretend that your shit is perfect? They are inspired by Ballmer-era M$...
> "I'm not the parent poster, but having moved to a rural area in January I've already experienced this. I spent a couple of days identifying target companies, and another couple getting my resume together and writing decent cover letters. After three weeks I was well into the interview process with five companies, and had an acceptable offer in hand after six."

For remote positions, that experience just seems too atypical for anyone to hear your story and conclude that taking a remote job and moving to such a rural place would be safe, job-wise. Your experience sounds really atypical. That's bordering on the kind of turn-around you'd have in a super dense urban area like SF with a hotly demanded skill set. Definitely not typical for remote work.

I am not sure why you brought up the topic of expenses. No doubt they are much cheaper in rural areas... but if you lose a job it doesn't matter. Savings only lasts so long, and for something like a mortgage, especially in places where property values won't grow very much and often go down, it's a big risk to literally bet the farm that you would be able to find another remote job quickly in an emergency.

You also mention a lot about planning ahead, and of course that is great advice. But I'm specifically only talking about the sort of sudden job loss and extended spell of unemployment that you couldn't plan for. Think of someone just starting out in a new remote job without the chance to build savings yet.

It's way less of a risk if you have years of living expenses saved up and can float yourself, but that's usually not the position someone is in when they have to weigh up the relative risks of living in a rural area on a remote job.
I agree that while Julia has a lot of functional programming elements, it's not strictly a functional programming language. It also is built for things where heap-allocated arrays are necessary: you're not going to be scientific computing with 100GB stack-allocated arrays. Having the base arrays be stack-allocated and then having StaticArrays for stack-allocated arrays works well, though that means you do want to use imperative styles a lot when managing the large array operations to cut down on allocations. Spiral and Julia are just very different and cater to different paradigms and applications.
> The town where I live surrounded by 100 acres with 2 or 3 other houses is also considered urban

That’s not urban. US gov defines <1000/sq mi as rural. This works out to about 2/3 acre/person. So either you live in a rural town or there is a much denser part of the town offsetting your hundred acres.
If and when/depends on some env vars and also compile time options. Basically it mostly uses libc for some network operations like hostname resolution, and a few other things like user/group resolution. However it defaults to the Pure go implementations by default for most things if possible.
Maybe it's because we're technical people, we lose too much time on details (I'm certainly guilty of that), trying to preemptively optimize, adding unnecessary complication layers or be worried about "scaling", and especially when embracing the "unicorn or bust" SV mentality.

The core objective is to make something of value to someone and he probably doesn't care if you used a simple PHP file [1] or the latest buzzword framework.

"Ours" as in "the one the people attending this course currently fall under" seems quite obvious and non-offensive?
Personally, while I dislike AirBnB for the reasons discussed in this thread, I don't rent places on AirBnB because of the gig economy or because I enjoy being in an apartment that has wardrobes full of other people's stuff. It's because I don't like hotels.

I like apartments, cabins, tiny "boutique" B&Bs and similar. I like not meeting any staff; I don't want room service or a spa or a gym or any other such services. I like not being in some obnoxious city center. I like to have a real kitchen with a dining table; I like having multiple rooms and maybe a balcony or private back yard. Those places are generally hard to find, are often marketed towards large groups (and priced accordingly) or rich people, and are often much more expensive than on AirBnB.

There's no technical reason why someone couldn't build a nice hotel like that, of course.
My main method is to change the "input". I understand it as to talk with the user/customer/colleague the necessary time to make the problem as simpler as possible.

It's rarely feasible in an entreprise because you're not supposed to discuss the "what" but only the "how".
Great.

Can't everyone just pay attention to the seller if they're worried about fake goods? Just make sure you're buying an SD card fulfilled by Amazon sold by Samsung if you're worried, not from 3rd party seller.

>"When awaken and returns from the futux() call, you don't get the lock.

Can you elaborate on this? That sentence isn't reading well for me.

>"Actually multiple threads sleeping on the futex flag can be awaken at the same time (depending on the FUTEX_WAKE command's parameter). All of them need to do compare-and-set to acquire the lock."

So whatever thread kernel schedules first will get the lock? I.e there is no fairness or weighting? Does this
potentially cause a "thundering heard" when they're awakened at the same time?
You don't lose cool kid points, you instead lose any expectation people might have regarding your ability to perform basic risk analysis.

Things shouldn't be pursued based on whether they seem big and sciencey. They should be pursued if the benefits exceed the costs and risks. A space force does not meet that criteria.
Ok, they're a private company, they can do what they want. If you don't like it, don't work there.

But, really......
Sure it does. It makes it unequivocally obvious that it's the American legal system that is referred to.
In addition to the other advantages mentioned here, environment variables serve as a common language that all programs can understand, in theory. They're also less complex to access than reading and parsing a file (less important for, say, Node.js than C++, but).
First of all, the Blub paradox is wrong. It assumes that languages can be ranked on a one-dimensional axis labeled "power". That assumption is wrong.

To see why it's wrong, think about Lisp and Haskell. Users of both languages are sure that they're at the top of the power curve, they're sure that they're looking down when they look at the other language, and they're sure why they're looking down. "How can you get anything done in [Haskell|Lisp]? It doesn't even have [macros|a decent type system]!" But if both are sure they're looking down, then languages can't be well-ordered by "power".

Next, that syntax. I suspect that that kind of syntax "clicks" with some people, and not with others. (Almost everyone could learn it, but that's not the same thing.) And I think you're right that "the masses" - the vast majority of people - are people to whom it doesn't "click". This may be the real flaw of Lisp (and Haskell) - the syntax is just wrong for the large majority of programmers.

Note well: This is my pet theory. I have no data. All predictions guaranteed wrong or your money back.
I would 100% agree with you there are literally like 100 offerings that lack features that you absolutely will not be able to do as MVP as in enterprise grade workflow engine with visual editor etc. There no lack of competitors on the low end of things and there is literally 0 competitors on the high end of things. So there is no business case in trying to compete on the low end there is very good case for the high end offering but it literally does not fit the regular VC deal structure.
Thank for the correction - that number seemed unreasonably large.
This is exactly how I feel.

I am currently working on a project for a client where they expect to have about 3,000 users each with some basic profile information, and the ability to upload some documents etc - nothing too crazy. I don't think they ever have to worry about scaling to 50,000 users and performing any data-intensive database queries. Why not use something like Mongo in this situation?
The problem is worse than that. They mix the inventory from all sellers, including themselves, for the same product. So all it takes is one counterfeit seller to poison the whole well.

I avoid buying gadgets from Amazon, but other than that... ::shrug:: They've got it nailed. Worlds better than brick and mortar for non-boutique goods.
Little did Ötzi know, that thousands of years from now people would be so concerned with what he ate.

In fact they even went so far as to invent social networks so people could see what others recently ate.

Being a teenager when COPPA went into effect and having a number of netfriends under 13 (at the time) - I'm not sure that employees at big companies really understand all the unintended consequences of it.

By far the most common consequence amongst my friends was to teach us to lie. (The second most common consequence was to shut us out of smaller websites that didn't want to deal with regulation - at least until we learned to lie.) "Are you under 13?" - duh, no. "Are you under 18?" - better answer no on that one too, to be safe. "How old are you?" - 20 is a good number. "What's your birthdate?" - how about Jan 1, 1970?

I had one friend who forgot her password to her Yahoo Mail account. "Why can't you just use the password reset functionality?" "I forgot which birthday I entered." "Why don't you call them up and have them reset it?" "I registered under a fake name too, and forgot what I put."

And she was one of the savvier ones. I saw a number of people post their street addresses, pictures of their house, vacations they were taking on the public Internet, but when it came to their ages, "I'm, uh, 24" (adding a decade and change).

People wonder why Millenials aren't more up-in-arms about data breaches and identity theft, and why they prefer pseudononymous currencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum over the real banking system with its KYC requirements. Maybe it's because we've been trained to see identity as temporary, reputation as something that can only be used against you, and information as something you give out to get what you want at the moment.

>Studies on patients with localised brain damage are helping to answer part of this question. When people have lesions in the prefrontal cortex – the outermost layer of the front part the brain – they appear to be much more prone to following orders than the general population.

WOW, that's going to come in handy when some government decides to weaponize it.
Agree, not useful. I have a 2017 with Touch Bar, and don't think I have used it more than a few times and that was just tinkering and boredom.
I used to feel this way, and also used to be frustrated about multi-line strings in JSON. With years of experience now, though, I actually appreciate JSON omitting these features.

Config files should absolutely not have or need comments. If you need them directly in the config file, something is wrong. Applications should document their default settings in a different way, preferably in a README or generated documentation that also explains how to use environment variables to override the defaults. That sort of separate companion doc is the right place for notes about defaults or "why" certain config values exist in the file. The same is true for using JSON to store parameter files, etc. It's actually quite important to keep metadata about the config / params / etc. specifically out of those files, so that they are absolutely nothing but value files. Information about why a file contains those values belongs elsewhere, and it's an anti-pattern IMO to rely on comments in the config / param file.
Necessary, no, but it's thoughtful.

I'm not even sure I should bother replying to this. But, like many, I'd consider the scientific method properly applied to be a special case of probability theory, modulo some social rules that might technically depart from Bayesian reasoning but are supposedly there to create good equilibria among less than perfect reasoners. This involves observation, natch.

The parent commenter is presumably beyond all help, but anyone interested in an example of my views on this point may consult "A Bayesian view of scientific virtues" here: https://arbital.com/p/bayes_science_virtues/

No you don’t, that speed is for an OS level copy not the advertised max seq write speed.

I have the 960 pro in raid and I don’t get more than 2000-2200 MB/s when copying a files of that size on an actual file system.

Based on the copy speed vs advertised speed I would put the max seq write speed of that drive at least in the 3000 MB/s range this is at least as fast as the 970 evo in its largest capacity if not faster since Apple tends to use Sammy SSDs I’m betting that this is a newer version of the PM981 which might some day be released as the 980 evo or even pro.
It requires taste or code reviews, essentially.

I think the Dems are still on another planet. Look at the wins that Justice Dem candidates like Ocasio-Cortez are having. And the support that Bernie had from many in the counties that wound up going for Trump after Hillary was forced on them. These demonstrate clearly the problem is not one of technology but policy. The Dems if they want to win need to offer policies that appeal to people, that means policies which are going to rub against their corporate donors.
