The main gmail.com now forces me to use the horrible new design. However, I manage a for-pay Google apps domain (@sagemath.com) for my company, and it still lets me use the classic look. Does anybody know if I will also be forced to switch to the new horrible design for my for-pay Google apps domain? The new Gmail design actually gives me a pretty intense sense of motion sickness -- I feel I have a genuine accessibility issue with it and really hate it, and will have to consider migrating off of gmail if they don't provide their classic UI.

What I don't understand is how come driver for their cards works just fine on Windows AND MacOS then? Maybe it isn't Nvidia at fault alone here?

TBH, I only had problems installing their drivers on Linux, but once they were up and running all was/is good... Except Wayland. But, wayland's gonna way no matter what, so no Wayland for me.

Unfortunately, in my current app, the actual issuing of DOM updates seems to be what's blocking things. Inserting large tables takes some time.
If this is exposing DOM operations in a Worker and then replicating them back to the real DOM in the main thread, what happens if 2 Workers try to make incompatible changes to the DOM at the same time?
> why would anyone want to immediately lose 20% of their investment?...

It's called insurance, just like after you buy a house you immediately insure it by paying a premium of x% of it's value.

In this case, you insure against someone in the future claiming those coins were stolen from him.

The investors want exposure to the bitcoin price, but not to some of the risks, so they factor them out as much as possible.

I'm curious to know what the bifurcation is between the pieces of the driver used for Cuda, and the pieces used for gaming. I think most people running Cuda are running it on Linux, and I've never had a problem with it. So I'm wondering if all these issues are really targeted at gamers only?
EFF Urges Ninth Circuit to Let Criminal Defense Teams Vet Forensic Software
"you potentially allow them to do the work upfront and a 51% attack becomes pretty easy."

I do wonder if there are potential consensus algorithms that rely upon game theory, the threat of being booted off the network, and the need for some investment before they're "trusted" by other peers. The basic idea is that yes, you could 51%-attack the network with a lot less than 51% computing power, but it would never be profitable because if you're discovered you're booted off into your own little partition where nobody plays with you, and the value you get from being part of the network in the future is greater than the value you would get from rewriting history into something only you believe.

51% attacks are possible now - roughly 75% of Bitcoin hashing power is located in China, so if the Chinese government decides that they want to shut it down, they send the military after the largest Bitcoin miners, say "Hash these transactions or else", and take control of the chain. They haven't found it profitable to do so yet, though - what would they gain from it?
I'm not sure what you're trying to get at...are you trying to say business people are smarter than OP gives them credit for?

"I very quickly realized that" <- Implying a prior assumption that was proven false

"very smart people" <- The set of very smart people OP has met, which hinges on perspective

"often" <- The key phrase here, implying that it is generally (but not always) true

"have very little knowledge of finance and business." <- The assumption at hand

I'm assuming OP thinks of STEM people as the definition of "very smart," based on his description of his degree, and his feelings about coding. OP may have assumed that since his knowledge is comparatively trivial for STEM people to learn, the knowledge might be widespread among what he thinks of as smart people, and was surprised when this valuable knowledge wasn't. In my experience, the average kind of person I'm assuming OP would consider "very smart" is either averse to business, or didn't bother learning business because it took time away from the hard problems they were more interested in, even though they easily could have.

More generally, the total set of obviously and profoundly smart people is bound to be (much) bigger than the set of obviously and profoundly intelligent people with knowledge of finance. Are there smart business people? Absolutely. But it's probably a small percentage when compared with the total set of Very Smart People. Also, at least in my school, the smartest people tend to go into harder disciplines, so that may further dilute the numbers of finance knowledge among the pool of Very Smart People.

So, there are multiple ways OP's statement can be true without being specifically about the capacity of intelligent people to learn finance through study or experience.
And the unlucky owners of pre GCN cards, like the Brazos APUs just get a driver that kind of works, with less features than the fxglr one.
They could not fix it. However, it would be a big value-add to me if, say, the big 4 US carriers could add an out-of-band security check and block calls to their networks from numbers they control but which are spoofed.

I get way too many calls from area codes and prefixes I recognize. This would help me get some of that back.
I would add Imodium AD, analgesics, some power bars and jerky, condoms, tampons if you’re female or traveling with women, a compass, weatherproof matches, a small mirror, and a good knife.
I've been reading it in my spare time for a few years now (I read slow). I've thoroughly enjoyed it, and learned a lot.
Maybe with this rolled out I'll be able to connect with US game servers at less than 200ms ping.
I'm honestly not sure how that wasn't obvious to me.

Um, probably because Twitter is a place where many people go to read stuff. The author probably likes it when people read their writing.
Depends on whether you think the differences in results shown in the closing sections of the article are worth that cost.
I can't say I agree with your assessment of that book. It read as though the author was utterly enraptured by The Lean Startup (itself a frustrating exercise in padding out a handful of insightful blog posts) and was determined to hang every. single. thing. on that one lamp post.
It isn't secret, but notice how many words it takes to explain things. That becomes half the job post and looks ridiculous. If I don't go into that long-winded explanation, and maybe even if I do, people are going to make some very wrong assumptions about the company. This is a mid-sized company of about 400 people, not really public-facing, purposely without a web site. Searching for us on the internet mostly provides nonsense.

I hope that the technical aspects of the jobs are what people care about. I find it weird/suspicious if the name matters, given that it is common in the USA to have multiple distinct companies with distinct benefits and culture all operating under one brand.

Given all the frequent complaints, would Linux users prefer if nvidia just pulled the plug and stopped offering their driver altogether?

Maybe some other long-term Linux users will remember how the situation was with accelerated graphics on Linux before the binary nvidia driver existed... (and personally, it never gave me trouble, but maybe that's just me.)

Here's a different idea: if Linux had stable ABIs for drivers, across kernel versions and distributions, creating a good driver would certainly be easier for third parties.
>"a field where you don't need statistics"

I feel some topics are getting confused here.

Now you seem to be saying "a field that doesn't need statistics" only doesn't need it because the error due to QM is negligible compared to other sources. How do you account for all the advances before QM and statistics?

> Writing Interpreters and Compilers for the Raspberry Pi Using Python, CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2018

> If you want to learn how to write interpreters and compilers, and at the same time learn how Python, Python bytecode, assembly language, and dynamic typing work, this is the book for you. The only prerequisites are some experience with any programming language and a computer on which you can install Python 3 (or Python 2 if you prefer). A Raspberry Pi is not required. Included in the software package for the book is an interpreter that allows you to run ARM/Raspberry Pi assembly language programs on your Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X systems.

> If you have not yet learned Python or assembly language, so much the better. You will get the added bonus of learning Python and assembly language while you learn all about interpreters and compilers.

That sounds like a pretty sweet mix of skills to learn all at once, actually!
It's generally easier to learn business on the fly if 1) your gross margin is enormous, 2) you fluke into a massive network effect that can scale incredibly quickly because it is not bound by space and matter or 3) someone hands you literally millions of dollars in exchange for equity. Not debt, which comes with serious legal teeth, but equity, for which the worst threat is being upset you didn't get rich.

Ask someone who has built a cleaning business, or runs a restaurant, or who works as a roofing contractor, whether business is easy.
Why is this written in C? I would have thought Rust would be the perfect fit for this.

The process you described feels like it could be handled with some automation...at least the cumbersome parts. Could even version control what you've verified in your own repo.
Intel is able to make it work really well. AMD went through a bad time but is now in the Kernel and getting much better. Nvidia seems to be the odd-man-out here.

I don't quite understand how busy your page must be if you feel that you're held back by the performance of one thread with the DOM.

You know, DOM isn't really for video games or realtime data visualization.
You should notify ArchiveTeam about it:

Correct me if I'm wrong but these services are quite different no?

The idea of Parsec is that a machine you own is rendering and uploading a game that you also own. Google seems to be playing around with the idea of games as a service, where they render a game you don't own on a machine you don't own, and let you play it for presumably a monthly subscription.
You were disputing the “obviously” claimed for US-based engineers. Most of those are based in SF/Seattle/NY. Move the goalposts as you please.
There is a github project out there where you can specify the site, and it will rebuild the content locally from wayback content. Something to consider for last resort recovery.

Parent comment was disputing the “obviously” claimed for US-based engineers.
I wore both hats. Something to note is that PR-ing your own repo counts as well but I digress.

As a submitter: It's a good experience as I don't get an excuse to dive deep into some open source tech every day. Plus I get a comfy t-shirt with a cool design at the end. This month I will try to mess around with .NET Core's core.

As a maintainer: Definitely a non-negligible part of the PRs is garbage. Not everyone is doing this in good spirit. Some PRs are there just fix a typo which is okay I guess but meh. I won't be much of a maintainer this month as my main project's target was php<5.6 but there isn't a better alternative yet. Once again I digress.

I am surprised HF isn't higher on HN right now. It's a cool thing.
Although it doesn’t matter to gamers buying GPUs solely for gaming, it really matters for a lot of the researchers (not just computer science, but any major that uses GPU computing), and also the professionals (using CAD and other software). They are also buying those high-end GPUs alongside the gamers, and are constantly irritated by shaky Linux nvidia drivers. If AMD gets enough support for high-performance computing (ex. deep learning), then researchers might be more inclined to switch to AMD...
By that measure the original Pixel copied the iPhone 6 that arrived two years before since it had HDR. What's the point of this game?
I am pretty active on the Ask Ubuntu stack exchange and to be frank I see many more Nvidia related posts. Also consider that sometimes the request isn't even about Nvidia at all, but then we determine that the Nvidia drivers are causing the problem. A good example would be strange compositing glitches and bugs with KDE or other compositors.
Here’s another trick that sometimes works: call the “collect” number instead of the toll-free one.

The company may put you in a faster queue because they think they’re paying $$$/minute for the call.
I’m not going to debate on the definition of the word “style”.

Yeah, I see it as an alternative concurrency model to threads. And I think each has its pros.

As for you not using it in situations that don’t warrant concurrency, that’s a good idea.

I don't think there's any insinuation.

> For instance, I'm willing to bet the information in a combination of 'Lean Analytics' and 'High Output Management' would exceed the value of an entire MBA curriculum (which is anyway mostly focused on dealing with big company problems).

That's a common cliché, but it's only partly true. There are problems that only occur at large scale (complex mergers, fancy legal structures, sophisticated financing). But the fundamental problems are all the same at every size. You need to manage cashflow, you need customers to become aware of the product or service and buy it, you need to be able to do things at a lower cost than your selling price, you need to keep proper records, pay wages, pay taxes, pay debts, manage inventory.

These are universal problems of business.

A whale has problems that a dolphin does not. But they both breathe, both pump blood, both eat and digest and move of their own volition.

I feel there's often value in humbling yourself before another profession and seeing what you can learn.
Would AMD's drivers being bad justify Nvidia making bad drivers too? How is Intel able to make great drivers and fund the development of Mesa?
I'm pretty interested in the clinical side of things. Would you be open to talking about that?
Yes, some countries still use the magnetic stripe for authentication, or allow fall-back onto it if the chip “fails”.
Do you know of any sources that show it takes that long to warm up JVM?
Do you mind if I ask you some questions about this?

I always have trouble picturing how, dynamically, a charge inside an event horizon is supposed to be able to propagate an electric field outside the event horizon of a black-hole. (retarded vector potential travels from a charge along light-paths to another point in space-time. There isn't any way for the influence of a point charge to get out?)

Perhaps some other related questions too:
Charge and current density is a 4-vector in SR, which transforms along with all the other 4-vectors (momentum-energy 4-vector, etc). In a situation where the effective mass of an object reversibly lowered to the event-horizon (slowly moved relative to the event horizon with small velocity) goes to zero (all the mass energy ends up somewhere else) - wouldn't the effective charge density from a non-infalling external observer's perspective also be going to zero?

If we're just drawing a box around a black-hole and declaring that charge is conserved, we would have as much/little reason to declare any other conservation also holds?
My favorite features of Myrddin, quoted from its home page[1]:

> It features strong type checking, generics, type inference, closures, and traits. It aims to fit into a similar niche as C, but with fewer bullets in your feet.

> Myrddin does not aim to explore the forefront of type theory or compiler technology. It does not focus on guaranteeing perfect safety. It is satisfied to be a practical, small language.

Maybe one day he'll shorten it to Myr like Nimrod shortened to Nim? Would be easier to remember how to spell it.
