No you don't. You can can walk around the outside so you only see the cheap raw produce, bakery, and dairy. There are also plenty of low margin items in the middle (canned beans) and high margin items in the back (meat and fancy dairy)
That's true, but not the suggestion I was replying to.
Thanks for going into more detail, I'm interested that you got lower jitter. My experience with high performance JVM networking stacks is that they achieve incredible throughput but are quite hungry (with a hungry baseline too) and that 99P can be not so great due to GC. I'll have to give Netty another look. I'd be interested in the RSS of each process after warmup.
Why do you watch and wait if you can get the headlines from websites?
Whether reference counting or GC is more efficient depends on your workload. There are common workloads where reference counting is better. And others where GC is better. In general neither can win.

So saying "just don't use GC" as a answer to improving throughput shows ignorance.

So what are the real tradeoffs?

GC is less work. Is easier to get right. And lets you handle complex self-referential data structures more easily.

Reference counting lets you handle real-time constraints more easily. Is simpler to understand. And results in faster freeing of potentially scarce external resources.
I am running an i5-2500k from 2011 as my desktop. Just dropped an rx580 in as my graphics card, and it's running great for my light gaming purposes (overwatch, 1080x60 screen). I think I could get away using it for 1440 or 1080x120 pretty comfortably.
Right. But the reason big companies fail at this is because they don’t have the balls to pursue optimal longterm strategy in the face of quicker near term wins. There’s nothing preventing a big company from thinking like a nimble startup, other than fear/lack of vision coming from the top. If the CEO stuck to his or her guns, they could outcompete startups for these opportunities.

I think the only solution for selectively blocking nonpolarized light sources would be AR glasses. I don't think they'd ever be able to achieve that with simple filters as they appear to be doing now - although with advances in materials who knows.
That’s difficult since the investigations are usually not available to the public and mostly rely heavily on the officers account. Certainly another area we need to do much better.
Statistics absolutely say that encounters with police in the US are statistically far more dangerous than other developed countries. As far as I know, statistics do not say US police are generally murderous cowards or that an officer in the US is more likely to be morally bankrupt - you are saying that.

Given that police in the US are more likely to encounter dangerous situations than other developed countries [0], it seems plausible that officers in the US enter interactions with a higher level of fear are more likely to do something stupid as a result. Apparently whatever screening and training they get isn't enough because these are the people who are supposed to be able to handle these exact situations.

The so-called stadium TFR can be read here: http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_7_4319.html

In particular, it has exceptions for:

A) The aircraft operation has been authorized by ATC for operational
or safety purposes, including authorization of flights specifically
arriving at or departing from an airport designated by ATC using
standard ATC procedures and routes; B) the aircraft operation is being
conducted for operational, safety, or security purposes supporting the
qualifying event, and is authorized by an airspace security waiver
approved by the FAA; C) the aircraft operation is enabling broadcast
coverage for the broadcast rights holder for the qualifying event, and
is authorized by an airspace security waiver approved by the faa; D)
the aircraft operation has been authorized by ATC for national
security, homeland security, law enforcement, or air ambulance
purposes;

I use exception A fairly regularly. I can imagine a flight of 2 Vipers would fall under exception B (if an opening ceremony flyover) or D (more likely for a transit operation).
I'm not surprised there is a massive, coordinated attack against Musk and Tesla. What surprises and disappoints me is that the mainstream media has fallen for it so completely.

One theory I have heard is that the media gets a big part of its advertising revenue from the ICE auto manufaturers, and they have been pressuring them. I don't know if that is true, but it sounds plausible to me.

To be clear, though, there's no evolutionary function that optimizes for the overall benefit of unrelated individuals. So-called group selection has never been shown to exist in nature.

Cheating is moderated by the success rate of cheaters and non-cheaters individually. If cheating strategies come easy but counter-cheating strategies difficult, then the species success in the larger ecosystem will indeed be limited in as much as organized, goal-oriented behavior is beneficial. There's no group-wide selective pressure to favor the non-cheaters over cheaters as there's no group-wide inheritance mechanism that can accomplish that.

It's why schools of fish aren't as efficient as one might naively think they could be at evading, e.g., a giant whale. The cheaters can and do drag down the whole group because the equilibrium rate of cheaters in the school isn't responsive to the success rate of schools as a whole.

But you can blame the mainstream media for not also reporting all the good news about Tesla. It seems clear they have made an editorial decision to only tell bad stories.

It's especially puzzling because the MM is very concerned about global climate change, and that problem can't be solved withuout EV's, so you would expect them to be big Tesla boosters. Instead they seem to be following the Koch brothers directions.
The real question is whether or not ketogenic diet is good for you. Unfortunately, the literature simply cannot supply a clear answer either way.

Joe Rogen just did a great show with two scientists discussing the evidence for and against carnivore vs. ketogenic vs. low carb. vs. high carb: https://youtu.be/u93oh9kC-rU. In summary, we're a long way off from matching an individual's biomarkers to an optimal diet, but caloric restriction seems to provide the bulk of the benefits for any given diet.
This seems like a total dodge. Before the Singularity (which hasn't happened yet), a machine that does something does so because some human or humans arranged for that. TFA is a way to get distracted by the machine and not address the human who set it in motion. Cui bono? Oh, probably some big firms who plan to release robots into the human and natural environments and don't want to be held liable when those robots harm humans and property.
Thanks for the clarification. Your time is much appreciated!

To be clear, I'm not trying to sell Linux, and I don't care whether people use it or not. In fact, if gaining users means dumbing things down then I'm happy they go elsewhere - it's probably best for everybody.

I was specifically curious what the presenter meant between "run in" vs "run on top of". I've used Windows, OSX, and Linux, and I don't understand what he's getting at. Software runs "on top of" Linux just as much as it does on top of OSX and Windows.
Why isn't optimization a repeated process? Apply some sequence of operations in a loop until diminishing gains are detected? So for example, run inlining again after the code has been lowered., I'm guessing it's actually really complex to try & implement & some optimizations can't run once the code has been lowered?

Similarly, the article talks about how the LLVM inliner clearly is smarter since it seems likely they ask their built-in assembler to provide an estimate of the code size rather than using more coarse heuristics. It seems like there's clearly a better path forward for GCC.
Yeah, generally agree with all this. I don’t think we need to shame them, as the gp initially mentions. But I personally have an interest in understanding the exact issue, seeing the response, etc. I.e. I believe there’s value in knowing the company, the actual incident, and so on.

Which shops have a Z pattern? Which shops move products around? I've never seen that.

Costco certainly doesn't Costco has aisles, and sections for each major product category. IKEA has a "tour the store" design which is nice for a store you browse because you want something for every section (room in your house). You can go directly where you want if you know what you want.
I assume cloud providers have hundreds of security issues that are found internally over the course of a year. Requiring reporting would certainly be a step forward and testing in production for software would maybe be seen as what it is, an engineering anomaly and failure to perform due diligence.

Google "hate" is a product of their success. IBM, MS, Apple, they all get it or have had it too.

What is frustrating with plus though, it was clear from outside Google that the company wasn't completely behind it. It also seems like it was good enough that they could have played with it to find the right recipe. I haven't followed it that closely, but from the outside, it looks like it launched, it didn't achieve facebook-like popularity immediately, they just sort of babysit it for a while and now it's shutting down. I know better, but it doesn't seem like the company tried very hard... Where were the stupid drug dealer games or some kind of fantasy football apps? It was only part social or something.
Good post. Small nit:

> Most commercial flights operate in IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) where air traffic control system guarantees you separation from other aircraft.

IFR traffic is only separated from other IFR traffic and participating VFR traffic. At FL180 (~18000' MSL) and above-0, it's all IFR, but below FL180, IFR is not separated from non-participating VFR and is still responsible for "see and avoid" when meteorological conditions permit in all airspaces (even above FL180).

0 - Yeah, yeah, above FL600, you could be VFR again... ;)
Look, what I'm saying is I would never expect a fireman to say "I didn't go near that burning house because it would have put my life in danger", or for a doctor to say "I won't treat this Ebola patient because, dangit, Ebola". The people in that kind of job put their ass on the line to save other peoples' bacon and accept that their job carries a risk. They won't actively try to harm another person (a person, btw, they're supposed to protect) to avoid getting killed.

Imagine a lifeguard who bonks a panicked swimmer on the head and lets him sink, because "when they start panicking they can pull you under, so it's my life or his". That would be completely mad, wouldn't it? You'd expect the lifeguard to be trained to deal with that sort of thing wihtout having to kill someone they're trying to save in the first place.

And like I say, obviously, nobody expects, or asks those people to lay down their lives in the line of duty. But they're there to handle dangerous situations that not everyone can handle.

Right? That's what the police are there for. If someone tries to rob the bank, they're supposed to stop the robbery. It's a dangerous line of business. Of course they shouldn't get killed while at it, but if the best they can do to keep alive is to execute everyone around them, they shouldn't be doing that job. They're supposed to be cops, not Judge Dredd.

Google Docs predates Wave and has since been rebranded as Google Drive. Various blogs have pointed out how certain aspects of Wave have been integrated into Docs/Sheets/Drive. The big concept with wave was that you did operations. "Go to row 12 and bold characters 15 through 38" as an operation within a document, as opposed to synchronizing an entire object. So when you set your cursor on a word in the document, it sent that as an operation, and any other clients editing the document could see where your cursor was at. Operations at the individual character level would sync to all attached clients and you can see edits in realtime. It's really interesting when a team at work is all looking at and modifying the same spreadsheet. The box they are editing is highlighted so you naturally stay away from it. If you are "idle", you might click your cursor away from all the activity as a common courtesy.

Good Docs had this to a degree before Wave, but it was unpolished. Two people could definitely edit a sheet together, but editing a document was more cumbersome (whole blocks of text would update at once). After Wave, they took the concepts and you could then see everyone editing the document as they typed or simply moved around the document.
“Friends on G+ that weren’t on Facebook” <== this was an opportunity

I was still very high on Facebook kool aid at that time. It may have had a bad rep to some people, but this sentiment was years away from reaching people like me.

Note that I am about as much of a Facebook insider as possible without actually having worked there. I personally know most of their top execs, Zuck interviewed me in 2007, turned down a PM offer to join Bebo but stayed close with a number of them for years. I would have loved to be filthy rich with those options, but if I had joined I would feel guilty for the destruction I contributed to.

The papers define the "profunctor optics" mechanism, so it's not really that it isn't understood: it's really Haskell code that implements lenses and prisms, which previously had less elegant formulations.

Yes, there is also Bartosz Milewski having a go at applying category theory to explain why profunctor optics work. But that's not an essential part of understanding them: they clearly do what they are designed to do. This is programming, not physics.

I've lived in both europe (UK) and canada, and hands down Canada beats any european country in standard of living.

It has less social welfare benefits than europe, but higher standard of living.

Canadians prefer Toronto weather to Vancouver, and as I said, Toronto is no different to Chicago or Boston in weather at all.

There are pockets of racists everywhere, but Canada is literally the least racist country on earth. It's like saying California or New York will turn racist and become pro-trump.
> I'm obviously their customer not their product

Are you sure you are not both? ATT gives you a discount on your monthly fee if you allow them to inject their own ads. It was opt-in, but it would not surprise me if they don't just do it to all users. Plus, if you are using their DNS, I'd assume they are slurping in all of that data.
Vimeo would just take over.
So many "social" systems have gone down the same path to collapse:

- Create a way to communicate with your friends.

- Try to monetize it by adding feeds of ads and irrelevant junk.

- Users get annoyed.

- Double down on the ads.

- More users get annoyed and leave.

- Usage shrinks.

This used to be called "pulling a Myspace". Since then, Twitter, Google+, WeChat in India, and Facebook have followed Myspace's lead.

It works out OK for the founders if they cash out around step 3.
User IDs are definitely private info, since they'd allow you to follow a user's behaviour etc.
Ask HN: Is GitHub the solution to computing history disappearing?
There's lots of little sites run by vintage computing enthusiasts. These sites often have scans of old manuals and magazines and other info. They often also have what might in some cases be the only copy of software for those old machines, sometimes in weird formats such as mp3's of audio cassette tapes.

Consider this site:
http://www.trailingedge.com/exidy/

and this site:
https://www.classic-computers.org.nz/blog/2017-01-23-software-for-real-sorcerers.htm

But these websites disappear, like this site is now gone: http://archive.li/1JhNz

Whatever software and other stuff he had on there now seems to be gone forever.

So what's the solution? How can we ensure this computing history does not disappear when those individual websites go down?

Maybe it's github, but its worth remembering that many of these vintage computing enthusiasts don't know anything about git and probably don't want to in some cases. Asking them to use github might not lead to the desired outcome.

Maybe there needs to be some sort of search engine/aggregator/website mirror for vintage computing that is replicated and distributed. Maybe it uses github tranparently as a back end?

Thoughts, ideas?
"IMHO" is an American Internet English term, and using it is a US social norm.
There are other places that do that; they just took an alternative approach that also appeared to be legal under Texas law, which seems perfectly reasonable.

I can't tell if this comment is ironic or not. But I'll bite anyway.

The choice is between H1B in Canada vs H1B in US. Presumably permanent residency is the plan, so "simply moving back to India" isn't the plan if things go wrong 5 years later.
