/otf is part of my CLI for the web project; dubbed "Keep It Tidy Charles(ki.tc)". As the name suggests; it's an Ephemeral File Sharing(EFS)-service that was designed initially as an api. The system has random readable urls/path through what3words's api; rationale: easier to read > easier to memorize > easier to verbally share. The process is actually fascinating as it's generating a random longitude and latitude for any given upload, passes it to what3words api, and then, the 3 words are passed and stored. When the api fails, it falls back to 5 random characters.

Amazing how quickly things can change with Tesla. Just a month ago the sky seemed to be falling, with constant negative press news about the SEC, concerns over Elon Musk's mental health, Tesla losing money, and so on. Had someone shorted Tesla just a week ago based on the media's pessimism, they would be down 20%. of course, Tesla could face problems, but this was a really solid earning report that dispels a lot of the gloom we have been seeing lately.
We should celebrate the transformative work of the European institutions tasked with the successful implementation of the GDPR. We also celebrate the new steps taken, not only here in Europe but around the world — in Singapore, Japan, Brazil, New Zealand. In many more nations regulators are asking tough questions — and crafting effective reform.

I disagree, I think technology should solve that pproblem, like Tim Berners-Lee's.
Why don't they have a mobile cell access point (like a Stingray) that they carry around with the president, for his off the shelf iPhone to connect to? And this access point would connect securely to a NSA proxy or whatever.

Or is the problem further down the line, do the Chinese intercept the international carrier links between USA and Germany let's say?
How to Trust Your Government
OK thanks, we can leave it at that. I personally dropped Marxism (and joined the idealists) some 20 years ago when I became convinced that analysis doesn't portray reality as much as it creates it, and Marxism paints a more hopeless and sinister world than I actually adhere to. That said, agree that some aspects like class analysis are useful as analytical tools, that I still use to some degree.
:)

I've seen somebody mention the idea of applying this to a shell, but only after pressing some special key (e.g. Ctrl-Enter). Would probably make it un-dangerous enough? This seems to be what people want of up too, anyway.

As to the "nobody", from what I'm reading, it seems you'd first have to be root, to be able to switch to "nobody"... so this doesn't really seem to be useful to me in this case... :/
I worked for a while in a what you might consider a hybrid system: small rooms of around a dozen people. Usually you don’t have problems of noise or distractions, since there isn’t that much going on, but you can quickly ask people about your issues without even getting up.
I kinda wonder if neuro-atypical human neurons behave about the same or differently -- for example, autism, ADHD, etc.
I had a Palm Treo, 3 years before the iPhone. Even had TomTom installed for GPS mapping. It was rubbish at all of those things compared to today's devices, but I could see the potential.
> In other words, the virtual reality market is fundamentally constrained by its very nature: because it is about the temporary exit from real life...

I enjoy VR a lot, but I never put on the goggles. A friend explained it to me the other day in a way I finally understood. VR requires us to disconnect from everything around us in a way that few technologies do -- that is, the cost of VR on our social interactions and situational awareness is almost total, which is a much greater price than other technologies force us to pay. They went full immersion, and it was too far... There's a certain irony that a social network bought deeply anti-social hardware. And yes, before we start talking about MPORGs, I know that could be social in VR. But I'm talking about the social costs IRL, which are much less with a technology like AR.
Regarding the point that the software systems being more flexible. A nice thing about controllers such as PID is that they deal well with disturbances and changing environments. In this particular case the PID controller runs alongside the system with a fixed sampling rate. It means that it does not really care about dynamics of the system in control. Say we want to update the caching TTL and that affects how the system behaves. The PID algo only cares about the delta of the error over a fixed period of time (sampling rate) and will adjust accordingly. Also, as mirceal mentioned, there are autotuning algos if it gets really bad.

Unfortunately it is a problem if the system changes too much the algo can stop working properly. But that could happen any time you make a major change in any complex system. To me it’s more of a problem of testing and sanity-checking, not of PID or other control algorithms. When you get to a certain point of complexity, testing all possible conditions becomes unrealistic and that might lead to bugs when a big part of the system gets rewritten.

On the point that only a few engineers might know how it works. One of the purpose of the article is actually put an idea out there to make more engineers familiar with the concept and collect some feedback. :)

I’ll update the comment with “On non-linearity of software systems” when I get a chance. This is actually a really good one and I have a few thoughts about it.
Or why not use a VOIP like protocol with end to end encryption like WhatsApp or telegram ?
but still no fix for the sped up audio issue :(
Transgender or not, the pertinent issue is not whether people have a right to choose their pronouns (they don't), but what gender the speaker believes the referent to be.

If you're using third person pronouns, you're generally not speaking to the person in question anyway.
> These cities may as well be "coastal" relative to their regions.

IF KC and Pittsburgh aren't "middle america", then the term ceases to have much of a meaning and we might as well stick with "rural".
Well You can't count future sales as revenue. To recognize revenue you have to deliver the product.

Here are the things from wikipedia:

Risks and rewards have been transferred from the seller to the buyer
The seller has no control over the goods sold
Collection of payment is reasonably assured
The amount of revenue can be reasonably measured
Costs of earning the revenue can be reasonably measured
Well, preference? I still vastly prefer an iPhone to an Android phone.
The gRPC website mentions protocol buffers in the first sentence, and the Wikipedia page says that protocol buffers are used for gRPC. I consider a defacto standard to basically be equivalent to a standard, even if that's not "technically correct".
Cool!

I have "evangelized" one person at least.

The thing about MOG is it's a demonstrated technique that Dietz has not yet developed into a fully releasable product. His latest comment says it's six months from release but lacks funding.

I think the problem might be that most "Mimd" programming is things like weather-simulations where access to a MIMD supercomputer is standard and price isn't that much of an issue.

That said, cheap Simd parallel computing jump-started today's deep learning advances and so cheap MIMD might do things no one anticipated.

Still, very niche. But thanks for the mention.

Edit: Note, MOG is specifically a GPU. Dietz did earlier work on other machines in the 90s but this is GPU specific (though a less flexible architecture than what Nvidia has evolved now).
Panasonic makes the battery cells...Tesla just assembles them together and integrates the cooling system.
> When a value is retrieved via its key, IronDB...

I'm not sure any of these properties are ensured the way anyone would want. Why do this? What are the failure modes this protects against? If only one of the backing stores is active when a result is written, and then the others later become active with no data, is blank data returned for the prior result? It seems like recording timestamps would fix this problem nicely on a single system and make this thing overall quite reliable.
Who were your users? Were they paying? Why did you feel they weren't the users you wanted?

I'm really interested in your decision to move away from a consumer model to a b2b model.

"Public notification requirement" = job posting you leave up and internal email you circulate to CYA in case you get audited. It's a ruse. This can't be enforced.
> and the fit and finish was just as good if not better than tesla

Tesla has the worst fit & finish in the industry. It always comes up with every tear down & deep review of a Tesla car.

Tesla's powertrain is largely the only thing they are good at, and has so far been the thing other car manufacturers have struggled to match.
Hoping this gains some traction as a defacto extension for cloud hosted postgresql. I think this is probably as useful as plv8 for a lot of use cases.
That's the answer I was looking for, thanks. The intuition I have is that if someone deletes something from localStorage (or clears localStorage altogether), they want that data gone.
Any chance someone could fast-track an inclusion for me of both the k8s and managed db solutions?

I'm leading a team that is _literally_ days away from provisioning a cluster for an existing production SaaS application that's currently on DO vm's. Would prefer to stay with DO..

My email is in profile - happy to answer any questions.
There's also the charging network. At least in the North America the Tesla supercharger network is the only viable option if you are doing a road trip.
Hmm, this makes me think there will be first sex bots that will get some extra new useful function for household in each iteration... VHS story all over again, pushing for economies of scale.
I think you're imagining something with arms you bolt onto the counter & talk to.

But maybe it doesn't look like that. Maybe it's better for the robot to work 24/7 to pay off its cost, by serving many people. It can collaborate with other robots specialised in different tasks. And this we already have, it's called a factory. You can buy an enormous and ever-growing variety of partially prepared foods, where the robots have done much of the work for you.

How much of the work, well, it depends on your starting point. Ever shelled peas or plucked a chicken? Few people now do that at home, but it was once essential... our grandmothers would be astonished how little work is now needed.
They force researchers to do teaching between writing another paper, reviewing other people papers or applying for the next grant. At the same time, professors have too little exposure to actual engineering. After few years they only have the outdated fundamental knowledge and a bit of specialization in super narrow and ofter useless discipline.

Teaching requires a different set of skills than research. Engineering is a more practical discipline than research. But because Universities treat all disciplines the same way, it all sucks. The US can attract people that are good in all three aspects but the rest of the world have professors that should be really doing one thing.
Donating new work is different from donating money to affect existing work.
>When you put 5 units where there was 1, the value generally doesn't multiply like that

But it does in Seattle. Have you looked at any of those new units they've put in through Phinney ridge and Ballard? That's exactly how it works - tear out one, put up X, and sell at a multiple of what the original would have gained.
I love working with Citus (I'm a customer). Everyone I have interacted with there has been very helpful and supportive. Almost surprisingly so.

This seems right in line with their core values. At least how the company values are practiced since I have no idea if they have "core values" or how they are worded.

Well done!
Yeah that’s the ticket; just generate more garbage to deal with
I did not roll my own. Very few people in the world are smart enough to do that. I just create a very nice user interface to make things easy for ordinary Windows users.
Given the money the US military has (equal to 50% of the entire Russian economy), you'd sure think they could afford to throw whatever was necessary at improving security for Trump's iPhone situation. I suspect the point of an article like this, which is an off the record leak of internal information that wasn't authorized, is to get Trump to abandon the iPhone period. I don't think these insiders want to bother with trying to increase the security for how things are now (they may view it as very impractical), they're seeking to embarrass Trump into changing behavior (good luck).
I don't think the technology of choice here is the problem. It's that the President doesn't care if he is compromised, but that he sold the nation on how unsafe Hillary would be with communications.

Pick any tech you like for the President's* phone calls, foreign governments will still listen because he simply doesn't care.

Edit: Also, why was Russia, the country that is actively attacking the US and has been for years, removed from the headline? Seems the most important part. (and don't tell me it doesn't fit, there's plenty of room).
I think that it is more likely that the president and certain other VIPs would get end-to-end encryption. Remember, law enforcement agencies still paint the picture that only drug dealers, terrorists, and other criminals need end-to-end encryption.
Why would you say it's easier now? Even now there's this requirement of PhD
China isn't a military threat, but Russia has proved that military power isn't necessary to sow chaos and destabilize the US. You don't even need military-grade hackers.
I don't think anyone objects to Tesla taking on debt to finance its growth. The thing is that if your debts are falling due and you don't have enough cash to pay them, you will need to borrow money, sell shares or renegotiate the debts. Your only other option is bankruptcy.

Elon Musk nailed his colours to the mast earlier in the year by saying Tesla would not take on any new debt in 2018. And issuing shares has gotten a bit less simple since his "taking Tesla private" tweet. Which leaves renegotiation or bankruptcy. It remains to be seen whether creditors will renegotiate to avoid the hassle of bankruptcy and the possibility of significant upside through some kind of debt/equity deal. Or whether they will look at the $10Bn of PPE on the assets side of the balance sheet and say "well we can probably get $5Bn for that in a firesale to Toyota, Ford or GM and come out ahead".
The startup overhead, the nqp overhead.

The startup overhead is caused by the idea to have the stdlib in perl6 source code (similar to mature languages like common lisp), and that the compiler will be good enough to produce good enough code. But the sigs of all methods need to be dumped somehow into the binary, and this done beyond naive. Emacs or Common Lisps solved this problem pretty well, via dumping native image of the compiled code, java has a good native class layout, but rakudo is just slow.

The nqp overhead is when you look at the compiled moar code and compare the bytecode to a fast vm. Its still too bad code. moar itself is fine, but the rakudo and nqp layers not. Same for the new jit template idea, which does not scale. At all. There are so many people with so many bad ideas who are not willing to listen to more experienced dev's, so I stopped caring also. It's not worth it, esp. after the parrot debacle. But perl6 people are generally very nice, competent and open, in total opposite to p5p.
Are there any U.S. hotel chains that are in on this?

Hotels have facilities that aren't used after breakfast until the evening, however they still have to have a lot of staff on-site during these hours.

You could have nice food and coffee instead of motorway service station junk, with booking facilities so you can have that coffee ready as you walk through the door and your parking spot for the charging reserved.

This could work really well in the more scenic parts of the world where there is a lot of the infrastructure built out already, just the right plugs with the right volts and amps needed.

Here are a couple great articles about code review that I've learned a lot from - they address the 'social' aspect of code review specifically, which I think is where you're having a hard time finding traction.

The takeaway is that it's a communication problem, and one of the first steps is probably setting some shared expectations. As others have mentioned, if you can't get alignment on expectations, you're not going to be happy in your job, but hopefully there's common ground somewhere, and you can all help each other level up technically and as a team.
Looking at the existence of caches in our CPUs and computers (and all CDNs), I conclude that the 80/20 rule apply to dish washing!

(/s)

But really, it might just be that people use 20% of their dish-washable objects 80% of the time. So having 2 dish washers eliminate 80% of the labor of putting them in the cupboard because 80% will be gone in the other machine by the time you really have to fill the cupboards.

Then again, that's lazyness and I suspect the higher humidity of the dishwasher is an health issue.
The US is not uniquely diverse, Canada and Australia among other countries have a higher percentage of foreign born population.
The president can declassify anything he wants to, merely by speaking it to someone else. He's the only person in or out of the government who can do this. So, not impeachable. Impeachable would be when the former Secretary of State did not exercise care when handling classified information. The relevant statute does not require intent - only lack of care.

It is interesting that all the push back by governments to keep phones from being secure has resulted in no phones being available that are secure - at least not any that people want to use.
hah. that would be awesome.
I'm pretty sure we can have both...

False! Robots are expensive for three reasons 1. Small scale 2. High precision and 3. Patents. By far the largest one of those is scale.

If you can build a car for 15k you can build a humanoid robot for 15k.

I'm happy to take a long bet on this.

If you're in a position to create a $100B company, don't you think you're in a position to help create the kind of future society that will benefit everyone rather than merely trying to look out for oneself in the context of a fait accompli future?
Hey man, I know it's kind of ridiculous but bringing whimsy and a bit of fun into hardware design could be seen as somewhat visionary. Before this, the boldest thing hardware manufacturers did was change the beige case to black.

Guess I'm not the only one, and of course my personal site was down for the last three days because the domain registration had expired and couldn't be renewed on an outdated card.

I facepalmed.

But once my setups get a bit more complex I was thinking I'd build webhooks into an analytics server, and ping those from each server with a json request which includes health data for each's databases and other servers.

I'm no where near that so I'll probably sign up for the free plan on uptimerobot later mentioned in other comments.

My new favorite: Micronaut [1]. It's the first java based framework (though I am using Groovy with it) that just "does what I want" with sensible defaults for a modern REST based API: simple annotation based URI spec on methods with bindings to arguments for parameters, and defaults to JSON responses with encoding etc all built in. You can hook it to hibernate, GORM etc., but I just use Groovy's built in Sql classes which essentially are as good as a minimalistic ORM.

Very simple, no fuss, "just works" as advertised.

It's strange to see contrasting responses(read: not unequivocally welcome) from programmers to increasing H1B visas when most(not all, but a significant fraction) of these same programmers call for practically limitless immigration from south of the border for low skilled jobs.

So virtue signalling even at the cost of your fellow citizens but skepticism to immigration when it comes to your own job.
I like the way you think! Ever considered using that idea to take on the taxi industry?
