On a given standard desktop PC load, you need about half of a 128 GB hard drive. Feel free to use the other half for staging files you're working on. :)

Obviously, this spec is not the same for say, a video production system or the like. I would point out that most workloads have a negligible to non-existent network latency on a good internal network.

(Also, note that on a 1 TB 5.6k drive, your drive latency is worse than my network latency.)
>> "In my previous comment, please note when I say "hip-hop", I am not referring to music, but culture. Nonetheless..."

We may have fundamentally incompatible perspectives if you see culture and art as separate things. I grew up surrounded by hip-hop (Atlanta), but I know better than to sing along with the n word as a white person. This is because the experience of the music is inseparable from one's experience with its culture.

I once helped a friend move a mattress set up a tight stairway. We got the mattress to turn the corner by brute force squeezing and smashing, but the box-spring was too rigid for that.

We were stumped until we finally figured out that if we simply unscrewed the two wooden frame pieces that run lengthwise, what remained of the box-spring was wooden pieces that run crosswise and are attached to a network of springs. Then it was possible to fold it into a U shape.

To explain visually, the box-spring was built like this one:

https://mk0mattressclarcyl3h.kinstacdn.com/wp-content/upload...

We removed the two pieces of wood running along the left and right bottom edges, then we folded the whole thing so that the wooden cross pieces at the foot of the bed and head of the bed touched each other. The wire grid at the top was just flexible enough to handle a gentle arc.

The genetic/epigenetic effects of intergenerational trauma are on super shaky ground.

The effects they have found are basically if you break an individual through trauma that can cause them to sometimes be a shittier parent. For instance if you have anger issues or alcoholism from ptsd that will definitely hamper ability to raise a child.

But there are also a lot of confounds in the literature which probably exaggerate this effect. (basically some of the ability to recover from and avoid trauma is genetic, and therefore passed down)

To a large extent it’s about path dependency as well. You simply aren’t going to fit car infrastructure in a dense urban area whose streets were originally made for horses and pedestrians. It’s not like several European cities didn’t try though, in the heyday of car-oriented urban planning from the 50s to the 70s. Insofar as those attempts succeeded they are now being undone in favor of transit and walkability.
Cheap, yes. Without significant side-effects, no.

The nucleoside analogues currently used to treat HSV aren't super effective, and do sometimes carry harmful side-effects.

We may have a more effective treatment in Pritelivir, if this ever gets through clinical trials. It has a different mechanism than acyclovir et al — it is a helicase primase inhibitor.

It may even be true that HSV is more effectively treated when helicase primase inhibitors and nucleoside analogues work in conjunction.
Depends on the proof. If it solves this specific problem more or less through perseverance, it won’t be more than a tiny footnote in the history of mathematical.

If, on the other hand, some abstract theory contains this as a special case (say by limiting the number of dimensions to 2 and the geometry to Euclidean), that theory could (but isn’t guaranteed to) have wider application, both inside mathematics and outside of it.

I would think the former is more likely than the latter, though.

Very, very few cities in America are walkable enough to enable the average household to not own a car without it being a hardship [1]. You can probably count them on one hand.

So yes, Denver has a few walkable areas that are nice. But if you can only walk 80% of the time and still have to own a car for the other 20%, which has to sit in a parking spot somewhere all the time, then we're back to the subject of this article.

1. I'm not saying it can't be done, but if you have kids, or aren't able-bodied, or don't want to spend 3x - 5x more time on public transit than you would in a car, or live in an area with extreme weather conditions, or don't want to be weird-sweaty-bike-person all the time, etc, then you need a car in most of America.

If you think about it, it has to be this way. The whole point of parking is that it has to be available on demand, which means you need to build enough capacity to satisfy peak usage at the destination. If you had full parking utilization, people have to queue to park, and that would defeat the purpose of getting to your destination quickly.

You either need excess parking, or none at all, and shift to all non-private vehicles (which includes things like taxis and Uber). But having fully utilized parking is the worst of all possible worlds.
My only concern with trying this as someone just starting out with email marketing is that I don't know my SBUR rate... in fact I would assume that the first ever email to a new population (even if legitimate) is bound to have a far higher rate given errors in data collection (say collected on paper, leading to bad email addresses and bounces) and keen unsubscribers.

Then I'm successfully banned and have to go to another platform with my slightly cleaner email list!

The important thing about driver's ed is that it's a /professional/ teaching the foundational experience (they also typically use a custom car where the instructor has limited controls in the passenger's seat in case things are going really wrong).

That way you try to bring the quality of drivers up to that of the instructor, not a cargo cult of family members who might be horrid at driving.

I'm not sure how much that tells you. There are plenty of moribund malls around. I'll probably be able to find plenty of parking outside JC Penney or Toys R Us at the one near me any day of the year. There are other local malls I'm not going anywhere near after about mid November.

Interesting lot of people thought it was business cycles. Which is only partly true. There is China and PC Gaming. Both are now a huge market. For the past 4 - 5 years, if it wasn't for PC gaming, Unit Shipment would have been falling 10%+ YoY.

Many years ago people thought console would take over gaming. And it turns out Keyboard and Mouse are irreplaceable for certain type of games. You may never play PSE or FIFA on your PC any more, but many more strategy games, Online Games, FPS are still on PC. And as generation of people who grew up in gaming, there is ever increasing number of people on Twitch or other E-Sport streaming site.

Unfortunately Apple thinks Gaming is a waste of time. And therefore Mac doesn't really cater for Games Developers. iOS Gaming is still a result of iOS popularity rather then Apple making it better. We can used to argue PC gaming is niche, for nerds, Riva TNT, 3Dfx, Rage 128, Radeon, Geforce.....

Now PC Gaming is no longer a small communities, and will continue to grow into much larger in the years to come.

It's partly an information availability problem. Parking usage patterns tend to be based around factors other than availability, which leads to more extreme peaks and valleys than are necessary. If people could see what the mall parking lot was like at any given time and decide when to go based on whether parking was likely to be available, you could probably make the lot half the size. You already see this in many places around traffic; people in LA seem to plan their lives around when the freeways are known to be backed up.

How exactly do you "retain"? Do you memorize or do you have a way of going back to notes efficiently?
Might it be you just getting older.
I think you're conflating things. A decline in sales does not mean a decline in usage. Arguably the biggest reason that PC sales have declined is because a PC from 5+ years ago is now still 100% solid for everything outside of high end gaming and some esoteric tasks. And even in the case where somebody does want to engage in e.g. high end gaming, swapping out a video card is fine - and that's something that's not reflected in these reports which only count buying new preassembled machines from first party manufacturers.

PC sales were at their peak when machines were outdated in 6 months and obsolete in 2 years. That era is completely dead. At this point there are likely literally billions of reasonably high performance machines out in the world. And I think also more people than ever have realized that 'building your own computer' is about as difficult as putting together a 10 piece lego toy, and you get exactly what you want, and you likely save a reasonable amount of money.
Not without interfacing the with filesystem driver. You cannot and must not modify the filesystem on disk behind the driver's back while the filesystem is mounted. The only exception to this is filesystems built with that in mind, and which implement locking protocols that these applications would then have to implement. (Sun used to have such a filesystem for clusters. Each host in the cluster would mount the same filesystems from the same storage, and did locking on-disk in order to not step on each other.)
Yeah, malls are dying, and they're almost certainly not paying enough for the value of all that empty parking. Land value tax!

Internet-routable (v6) addresses on home LAN is a pretty standard thing and not silly at all. In many places you still get multiple v4 addresses too.
The CAP Theorem thinks about guarantees, not probabilities.

There are various ways to reduce the impact and probability of partitions, but increasing the quantity of nodes does not make partitions impossible -- in fact, you now have to worry about n possible partitions (n being the number of nodes).

the only way to guarantee partition tolerance is by majority votum. If you do that, you can no longer guarantee availability. For example, a cluster of 11 nodes might be partitioned thrice. (2 + 4 + 5)
None of the nodes are allowed to answer, breaking the availability guarantee.
Hi, i'm one of the engineers that made SESS.EMAIL as a side project. AMA.
I've been working from home remotely 100% of the time for five years now. I'd say a dedicated space for the majority of the work is a good plan, although it's also nice to grab the laptop and go out to a cafe, or work on the porch on a good day.

My set up:

300 square foot room, dual 24" monitors on an 4'x6' drafting table + stool for sitting/standing. Desktop, plus battery back-ups (desktop is set up to automatically boot back up if there's power loss), two internet providers for fallback, static IP from the primary ISP to the desktop so I can easily remote in while on the road. Synced laptop so I can just grab it and go with my current work-state already saved.

That's more of a cultural thing methinks.

In the predominantly hispanic areas around Phoenix there are tons of tiny shops serving the neighborhood -- it's a thing. Where I live now there used to be a few corner markets but now that gentrification is in full swing they are all gone and are being replaced with trendy restaurant/bars with the people presumably now shopping at the major supermarkets. There were probably more before they built the super-massive Ranch Market but I didn't live in this area then so can't really say.

I'd venture to say it has more to do with the cost of owning/operating a car, in Mexico (and much of Europe) they are significantly more costly than the US so the convenience of "shopping local" is different.
The problem is that thiy type of tool needs mobile apps for both iOS and Android before people will use it.

What you're saying is: "I define 'desktop machine' different than you do, therefore you're wrong".

Give me that hardware in a box that I could upgrade, and don't make me buy a monitor I don't want or need, and I'd probably buy that machine.

The level that allows all cars to park at peak times is not the economically efficient level; that hugely increases the overall cost, as you cant use parking for any other use. Peak cases should have surge pricing to ration the space there are for efficiency, and the overall level should be less.

Let me rephrase your query. If you send 2 emails and 1 bounces, then your SBUR would be 50% and so will you be banned?

NO.

We predicted this would happen. The SBUR doesn't kick in for the first few thousand mails. Over time your list gets cleaner (because we keep track of bounces, unsubscribes and dont send them emails from next time on.)

(I'm one of the engineers who developed SESS.)
They will need to add machine learning based classification of mails before sending them. Spammers will just create the next account until they get detected again. Their servers will be faster on a blacklist than they can spell Spamhaus.

While I don't think the supply was doubled (at least not here), yeah, that seems about right. What this meant is the middle class got nuked. You can't have a middle class family any more with only one parent working; as a mother you're pretty much coerced to work to make ends meet (or take a drastic standard of living and social cut). As an added bonus, people will tell you that you have a bad character and you are morally wrong if you want to look after your own kids yourself.

Sure, if AmTrak restructured around a lack of federal subsidies for lines in the red, the Northeast Corridor (possibly incl. Acela Express) would clearly remain in operation. It's just that a major part of the network is composed of routes where the subsidy exceeds the fare, and the fare is still too high for most people to consider.

Also, not really sure why the federal government is subsidizing $10-40+ one-way fares (receiving an average of 25 dollars in federal subsidy) as "commuter" service, even in the less-bad Capitol Corridor.

> Birth control has a lot of bad side effects and many women actually avoid it because of them.

Side effects like lower cervical cancer rates and reduced menstrual cramping?

Of all the women I know the reproductive habits of, I know of many who choose a hormonal birth control because of the benefits. I know of exactly zero who choose otherwise because of negative side effects.

But, that's anicdata. So in all seriousness, what side effects? I’m curious.
Chrome has always been a memory hog. For example, the Intel chipset in my machine doesn't support installing more than 4Gb of memory (and I feel that it is artificial limitation to force consumers buy new Intel chipsets) and on top of that, some proprietary 32-bit operating system cannot use more than 3Gb because of so called "PCI hole" - a part of address space that is allocated for PCI devices and cannot be used for accessing memory.

I think that browser developers are making a wrong choice. They increase memory consumption for caches and similar type of data so that complicated and bloated websites work faster; I don't want that. I don't visit such sites anyway and have JS disabled so I would prefer that browser just consumes less memory. Let bloated websites be slow; they deserve it.
https://security.googleblog.com/2018/07/mitigating-spectre-w... says that they've been working on site isolation (one process per domain, so potentially several per tab) for many years. chrome has been multiprocess (process per tab) since day one and it took other browsers years to catch up with being multiprocess. So if other browsers decide to pursue this approach, it'll likely take them years as well. So 3 doesn't seem super unlikely to me :-/

I've worked at smaller companies. Even still, it's not hard to hit relatively large amounts of data, depending on the field.

As an example, any kind of analytics could generate terabytes of data a day... per customer.

A side project I am building will have to handle billions of events per day. Per customer. There are 0 customers (this is for fun, not profit), but as soon as it would hit one customer I would need to consider an approach that scales.

How many companies have similar requirements?

But that's actually besides the point.

Microservice architecture, or any architecture that focuses on isolated, asynchronous components, adds complexity. Of course.

But it also reduces work in other areas. If you build async, isolated services, you no longer have to deal with catastrophic service failure. Cascading failures go away at the async bound.

For many of us, I imagine we've spent a lot of time fighting fires at organizations where one service going down was a serious problem, causing other services to fail, and setting your infrastructure ablaze. Hence a bias towards solving that problem upfront.
