Yeah, but the UK doesn't have gun crimes, mass shootings in schools, in music festivals or in a park. For a common civilian it is really hard to get a hold of a high caliber gun. In the US you just walk in to the closest gun store and get one.

Or as the American youth does, just grab your parents gun and go on a shooting spree.
I understand that it's high, I'm asking why. Are they not interested in the laptop market? Does Intel have some secret sauce they can't replicate?
Low-code is a pretty standard industry term, though. Maybe not for the HN crowd but Gsuite has a low-code tool now and the likes of OutSystems have been doing it for years.

I’m more curious as to the name Alan.
GitLab being all remote has been a problem during fundraises. We mentioned it since we're transparent and inevitably investors will want to visit your office.

During our latest D round it was a smaller problem since later rounds are more based on financial metrics and comparables (GitHub, Atlassian, Jfrog). But I wouldn't say that it is no longer a problem with VCs, many still have scaling concerns.

As one of the best investors said that passed on us: we're in the pattern matching business and all remote doesn't match the pattern. It might very well work but we will invest only in a handful of businesses anyway, we might as well pick ones that are a complete match.

Family is the most important thing, you only realise this when you get old. Respect your parents and love them (tell them you do). Most people you take for granted today in your family won't be around soon, listen to their stories and take care of them.

Kids gave me most happiness. Have them some day.

Choose who you work with very wisely. This is going to change your life most. Choose friends carefully. Once you do, never let sincere friends go away.

Learn how to read. Read a lot. Learn how to write. Write a lot. Experiment a lot. Don't be afraid to fail.

Reach out to people. This will open up new possibilities that you never thought of.

Work on your temperament. People who know how to control their nerves achieve most.

Don't take a lot of stress, it will be mostly fine.

I need to think more, interesting question :)
I'm wondering why dual-Xeon Silvers aren't more popular?

Xeon Silver goes up to 12-cores (but the 10-core seems best price/performance). So dual-Xeon Silver 10-core gives you 2x10 cores in NUMA configuration.

You get AVX512 from Xeon Silver. You compromise slightly due to NUMA architecture but less so than Threadripper (2x NUMA) or EPYC (always 4x NUMA).

Xeon Silver 4114 x2 gives you 12-memory channels, 2x10 Cores (40-threads). Nominally it was supposed to be under $600 per chip, but its closer to $750 at the moment. Even then, Dual Xeon Silver seems to be the best price/performance from Intel.

----------

The Xeon W-3175X is a singular NUMA node with 28-cores is nifty for sure, but its a niche product. Threadripper demonstrates that the typical consumer can handle NUMA nodes.

I can't imagine that most people need tight-thread integration that the W-3175X would give you.

I'm not sure why this is harder than choosing an email address to send an email to. Some things I'd share with FAMILY, some things I'd share with EVERYBODY, some things I'd share with MY QUILTING GROUP.

Seems like the easiest thing in the world.

Also seems weird to say that even selecting a group to share to is a massive hurdle, but the fact that facebook buries the same functionality behind 5-6 clicks for each post is convenient. Seems more like it was too easy, and had to be made harder.

There's a mix of 'freak' failures and some seriously gnarly crashes, but overall not that many fires. It's not a complete list, as Tesla claims 'about 40' fires (link below) but the severity of the others may not have been newsworthy.

Battery fire vs. ICE fire rates are somewhat tricky to compare (you want an apples-to-apples comparison, so throw out older ICE cars, cars of different classes, etc.) but ICE cars catch on fire quite a bit. If fires are your concern, BEVs are likely the better option.

https://money.cnn.com/2018/05/17/news/companies/electric-car...

One complication is that BEVs are novel and emergency services may not yet have effective procedures for responding to such events.

The average age of developers is increasing. A generation is leaving SF to start families in other cities. Fewer people want to come to SF due to costs and low quality of living, and startups are no longer expected to be in the Bay. Coding schools are graduating new developers all over the country (and the world). The future is remote.

I have a contrarian viewpoint: I think employment doesn't work with remote work at scale. People want independence and flexibility. A 9-5 workday isn't great for at-home knowledge work, and people want exposure to a variety of projects. I think the future is contract-based. That's what I'm building with Moonlight [1]: a distributed, contractor workforce.

"Contract engineer" has negative connotations in most companies. But, if you can have a multi-month, ~40 hr/week relationship with a contractor, it's easy to get hard work done. Developers work on their terms. Companies get access to amazing people. Hiring takes days, not months. There's no bullshit of traditional employment - like open offices, limits on vacation, or dress codes. The hardest part of becoming a freelancer is the scarcity mindset - building a network, finding jobs, collecting invoices, and lining up your next job. We're solving that by basically becoming a talent agent. To make a freelance lifestyle sustainable, we need to solve other parts of this model - such as community and career advancement. But, we're working on it!

It sounds aspirational. But, over half of Moonlight projects continue indefinitely. When companies like working with somebody, they don't stop.

> while trying to make it work the same way across all target platforms

This goes back to what I was talking about with treating the web like a medium, not a distribution platform. Fundamentally, the web is about giving you a "controlled" way to give up control. The native paradigm is "I want control over what each individual pixel looks like", and the web paradigm is, "heck off, well-written apps don't do that."

I understand why it's attractive, and why it'll continue to be attractive. And I highly agree about Houdini being an exciting development (I don't personally think that Web Components are offering much, but whatever). I'm really looking forward to being able to polyfill CSS. But that difference you're talking about is probably not ever going to go away completely, because the web is optimizing to solve different problems than most native frameworks.

Not to say one approach is better than the other (Flash had some legitimate use cases), but I find that there is an actual cultural difference between how web-apps and native apps are designed and how they balance between user control and developer control. It's not just technology.

A friend of mine tells me that one of his biggest regrets from the past handful of years is not having applied for and received citizenship when President Obama was president. He has a misdemeanor (for something that almost every US citizen would consider trivial) from when he was a teenager but because of when it happened and what it is, naturalizing would require a waiver from USCIS in order to proceed (and to not be deported). President Obama's USCIS granted waivers for conduct so many years back almost as a matter of course. President Trump's USCIS--according to the two immigration lawyers my friend has consulted--has not only stopped granting the waivers, they refer applicants for the waivers instead to deportation proceedings. There's no one to advocate for people like him to be able to remain because he is a convicted criminal, even just of a minor offence, so he's been told to keep his head down and hope nobody investigates the dusty files.

But, assuming you are "clean," there are people to advocate for you so applying for citizenship should be a safe bet and would get you the guarantee of remaining in and traveling to and from the US for the rest of your life. If you intend to live here for the foreseeable future, I'd recommend giving it a go lest this administration decide to start trying to arbitrarily yank GCs.

Perhaps you missed it, in Section 5 I've mentioned that the hash function SHA256 behaves as an ideal hash function, an assumption in cryptography called Random Oracle Model.

By virtue of this model, the proofs for Structure, Space and Max-Proof of SMT are implied.

I'm also working on an implementation for the concepts mentioned in the paper so the proofs can also be verified emperically.
I'd agree with the shout out for Tour of C++ as a good first book. Unlike most C++ intros, it's concise (192 pages) and up-to-date enough to exemplify C++'s standard forms (esp. 98 and 03). If you plan to develop in C++ you'll want other books with more examples and reference, but these will shift the focus more onto trees than forest (at ~1000 ppg).

Accelerated C++ by Koenig and Moo is another nice short overview of C++, but assumes more familiarity with C and OOP principles.

2018 15" MacBook Pro (i7 2.6GHz/16GB/1TB SSD/560X 4GB) because I prefer macOS for the majority of my work, despite being able to work on basically any machine. The touch pad is still amongst the best I have tried, it's fairly reliable compared to the Dell XPS 15 I used to use, great build quality, and it integrates nicely with my other Apple peripherals. Realistically, I could get work done on about any machine since most of my work involves SSH'ing into different hosts running different suites of software in order to build kernels, drivers, and other configurations of OSes that get put on target hardware.
It's a reasonable thought experiment. Though it seems unlikely to be true it logically follows from the rest of the comment. This doesn't look like FUD to me.

You pay someone like Trinet [1]. You wire them funds, they distribute to employees in all 50 states and handle payroll, taxation, etc. They act as the employer as record, show up on employee W2s, etc. There are other companies out there that perform the same service, but Trinet is the company I'm familiar with having worked at a fully remote startup.

If you have international employers, there's more complexity besides wiring them funds; you have to ensure you're not violating local labor law as it relates to employee vs contractor classification. Talk to an attorney!

The move makes sense. Cloudera has cash on board and Hortonworks has excellent technical chops and associated vision.

Ambari is a wonderful single pane of glass to manage it all nicely.
YARN is really good at managing capacity leveraging cgroups.
Spark is one thing but far from the only thing. E.g.Flink.
Hadoop3 introduces Docker containers right into YARN.
It is all driven with JVM components, so security actually works.
For all its limitations HDFS also has pretty cool powers. HBase is also a beast for a couple use cases.

Of course the learning curve is pretty steep. But payoffs are huge.

> We understand people want to see the UI, but it's not the key selling point. Pretty apps isn't what you'd use Alan for (although you could). We try to focus on the modeling language, as it's hopefully unique and cool enough to draw the right audience in.

I don't understand this. Whether you consider the UI to be a key selling point or not, it is still an indispensable part of the product. For me, the fact that I can't even see a screenshot of it is extremely off putting.

Imagine if Tesla didn't have any photos of the car in their marketing materials, just diagrams of the electric engine. "The key selling point is the electric engine, not the body." So what if it's not the key selling point? Even if a customer's priority is the engine, they are going to want to know about other aspects.

If the UI is a no-go for a potential user's use case, then what doesn't matter if the you totally ace the modeling language? Of course, lead with the modeling language if that is your unique selling point, but don't make people literally install software to see the UI.
The class B restriction is draconian and unnecessary. I live about 4 miles from an airport (Class B). The B zone is 5miles. There has never been an aircraft I have ever seen 400ft over my house, and if they were making a 4 mile <400 ft approach they would have a hell of a lot more to worry about than drones when coming in. (Engine failure with seconds of glide ratio, birds, objects). The "inverted wedding cake" of airspace needs to exclude below 400ft AGL besides areas very close to the airport. You as a pilot must know that besides when you are making your final approach or taking off you are well above 400ft for safety reasons other than unaccounted for aircraft.
I'm perfectly willing to be convinced otherwise, if you have any evidence. Can you provide me a single metric of a societal risk to white males more than any other group, adjusted for population?

How Feminist Dystopian Fiction Is Channeling Women’s Anger and Anxiety
That's the old repo (we should add a note to it pointing people to https://github.com/iovisor/bpftrace instead!)

Alastair added struct support for kprobes yesterday, based on the functionality in bcc (which bpftrace uses). That was the final missing piece, and why I'm posting about it now. See the last example here:

https://github.com/iovisor/bpftrace/blob/master/docs/referen...

It's the same struct support we had in bcc, using linux kernel headers. Some things are available, some are not. Just like in bcc, we sometimes need to define some of a missing struct.

BTF will mean that all structs are available, plus, bpftrace should be able to automatically figure out the arguments so you don't have to cast them. It'll be great, but in the meantime, I am able to do tons of stuff.
I think that's the bigger issue here. For 3 years there was a vulnerability. And when they did find out about it, they chose not to disclose the information. Why? B/c there wasn't that many people using it. And so because of that, let's shut down G+, rather than be scrutinized about how they chose not to let it be know, that users information were available through this vulnerability.
