Serializing cross-partition transactions is known as "external consistency" or "strict serializability"; that's what this game is about. The illusion of total order. :-)

There is no single node that serves as a global coordinator. The "coordinator" as referred here is a stateless logical role for each transaction and every node in the cluster can do it on an ad-hoc basis.

Our current performance numbers are much better but we don't have anything published quite yet. The bottleneck, so to speak, is the distributed, partitioned write-ahead log which is implemented in a pipelined version of Raft. It is not materially different than the Paxos or Raft-based rings that support replicas in aa Spanner-style leader-per-tablet two phase system. However it has better long-tail latency because a fixed subset of nodes resolves transactions instead of every leader regardless of location, and it is not subject to write skew across disjoint transactions.

We are well aware of NBD. NBD is not designed for WAN latencies, and like you say, it pushes consensus complexity onto the developer. Certainly it is easier to reach higher theoretical throughput numbers when you do less work on faster hardware. I admire NBD but it doesn't make sense to compare a WAN system with a higher consistency guarantee to a LAN system with a lower guarantee.

Fauna will support multiple consensus regions in the future to uncork aggregate throughput, at the cost of some explicit optimistic consensus across region boundaries. This is still a better story than explicitly locking on a read-committed isolation level which is subject to read and write skew in a way that cannot be architecturally overcome, even with locks.
Perhaps the real problem is that chemo, radiation, and surgery don't really cure cancer, in most cases. There is a lot of bad science in cancer research. The "science" that bothers me the most is the use of 5-year survival rates.

Suppose that a cancer that starts at age 60 becomes symptomatic at age 65, and kills the patient at age 70.

Scenario 1: you are 60 years old, get screened, and opt for treatment (who wouldn't?). However, the treatment does temporarily put the cancer into remission, and you are "cured" at age 65. But then the cancer comes back, now resistant to the treatment, and you die at age 70.

Scenario 2: you don't get screened, and die at age 70.

Both outcomes are the same, but in the first scenario your oncologist declares you "cured" at age 65.

This kind of statistical chicanery leads people to opt for treatment, which is usually very bad for you.

If you or your child has cancer, could you bring yourself to not spend every penny you have? Most people would opt for treatment. But it's often a futile waste of money and life, as the article points out.

The "global log" is a logical component. It is a distributed, partitioned write-ahead log which is implemented in a pipelined version of Raft.

It is both distributed and replicated, even across datacenters, depending on topological configuration.

We will update the post to make this more clear.
The title should definitely include that, such a shame that US is so behind with human rights :-(
Possibly, but in all likelihood, no.

I know that some people here like to get hung up on literal interpretations and stated missions, but they really shouldn't. (Sorry, can't get into it here.)

For many reasons, there isn't a lot of good that would come from them making a big deal about this among the general public. Feel free to see my earlier post.[1]

My Overlocked 6600k vs Ryzen/1800x at stock speeds is night and day difference in "real world" performance. Even though general clock speeds are not that much different - the Ryzen machine is the one I want to use.

Desktop productivity improves dramatically with a bunch more cores. Multiple browser tabs, background services, code editors open, VM's open... you can throw a lot of things at the Ryzen machine before you start noticing it starting to slow down.

On the 6600 machine it doesn't take much before you notice it chugging.

Thanks, capitalism.

Snarky as that may sound, it's a simple statement of fact: our society places a higher value on capital allocation than human life, and so the most vulnerable people are stripped of their assets and dignity to satisfy the demand for wealth.

Frankly, I think socialized medicine would also reduce violence in society if deployed as part of a larger economic realignment.
A lot of life is dealing with things that are a PITA, and there are advantages in developing skill dealing with them. Develop a strategy, practice. Lots of books and articles about this.
The real score is 1942 against 2704. Not even a 50% progress in almost a decade. It's disappointing.

The score you gave is the multi threaded benchmark that is just higher for having 6 cores rather than 4, that regular applications don't use.

This is not a “small talk,” this is just greeting. Similar to the British “How do you do, sir?”, to which you answer, “How do you do?” and that’s that.
Scenario 2 implies you don't have cancer. If you have
it and don't get treated, you'll probably die by 62 in your scenario.
never heard about fake news?
Since you're talking about 'credit' you have completely missed the point. I'm talking about making the whole team look good by making them better. That means helping team members get better. That means helping your boss get better. If the whole team looks good, guess who benefits the most from that? Your boss. And, who cares who decides promotions. If every team you end up on becomes great, you will end up where you want to be.

This also has nothing to do with a just world fallacy. This is thinking long term. Rarely can someone politic all the way to the top. In order to lead, you need the support of your team. You get that by being a great team member yourself.

Finally, I'm tired of hearing how awesome people are, but their team sucks or their boss sucks (doubly so for people working at FAANG, because the low bar is so much higher). If they are so awesome, then get out there and help the team improve. Instead it's I'm so smart, but everyone is holding me back. I'm stuck on a crappy team, etc... Grow up.

> It could be.

That's not going to win huge legal battles.
You're being very misleading when you say "in most cases". There are a lot of very common cancers that respond very well to treatment.

"If you or your child has cancer, could you bring yourself to not spend every penny you have?"

This is what health insurance is for. You buy insurance so that you don't have to worry about monetary decisions and can make decisions based on quality of life.
> If the story is true, it's a MAJOR breach of classified information from US intelligence operations; operations which I assume (without evidence to the contrary) are operating in good faith -- in the interest of the US and its citizens. Breaching classified information of such ongoing investigations to trace supply chains of spy chips could very well compromise those investigations (which would be irresponsible to risk).

Meh. I'm a former SIGINT guy and I think that democracy is well-served by investigative journalists (who are not cleared and have no ethical obligation to protect classified information) trying to dig up the classified details of sources and methods that are ultimately being employed in the taxpaying citizens' name.

Clearly there are going to be times when the intel community is going to have sharp differences of opinion about what the public needs to know, e.g. with the Snowden-related disclosures or whatever else. The point is that continued journalistic attempts to divulge the details of classified programs constitutes an effective check on the potential excesses of these programs and has the additional salutatory effect of making people in the intel community more OPSEC-conscious.
There's no conceptual vulnerability if the system the chip is being integrated into isn't multi-tenant (where a "tenant" can be a literal time-share user, or something like a website's Javascript code executing in a web browser.)

So: cloud computing, and consumers that might be running dumb code from the internet (= i{3,5,7} and Xeon = volume production) should get chips with no hyperthreading; while HPC, locked-down workstations, and gaming PCs that probably don't have any important data on them (= i9 = low-batch-size production) should get chips with hyperthreading.

He isn't suggesting letting them deliver a triple-scoop of their enchanting story, he's suggesting that you filter it through your own logic & experience and try to poke holes in it.

Elon Musk was once asked in an interview "How do you judge whether a highly-technical expert really knows what they're talking about?" His reply was along the lines of "You ask them questions of progressively increasing levels of detail. Someone who's actually an expert will understand a subject on many levels; they'll be able to give you the ELI5 version, but then will have good answers every time you probe a level deeper."

Larry & Sergey's elevator pitch was "We built the best search engine in the world", but if you asked them "What's it running on? How many machines? How many pages does it index? How do you handle duplicates? How many queries/day do you get? What are people looking for? How do you rank pages?" etc. you'd get good answers for all of them.

Elizabeth Holmes's elevator pitch was "We're going to revolutionize blood testing with finger-stick tests", but then if you asked "Which tests do you run? How many molecules of __ are in a drop of blood? How much variance is there between people?" you would very quickly run into either evasions or outright lies. Once you start asking questions on top of a lie their story usually falls apart pretty quickly, because few people can remember everything they just made up 5 minutes ago and still make up some logically coherent detail on top of it. (This, BTW, is why improv theater is so hard, and why most improv shows are comedy, where it's just funny if you end up with a non-sequitor.)

The same technique works well for reference checks, but you can't blindly trust whatever the reference tells you. Most people cherry-pick their references; it's easy for a charismatic charlatan to find some people who are still super-enchanted by them. Many people are also pretty unwilling to talk (particularly about litigation-happy scam artists like Holmes), for fear of defamation lawsuits.

That’s because out of the five times that the electoral college winner was not the popular winner, four times it was a Republican who won and the fifth time the Republicans didn’t exist yet (but the winner was the more conservative candidate).

And also, the majority of this country votes democrat in every election since 2000, but because of gerrymandering the house retains a Republican majority. If the house matched the breakdown of national popular votes for house reps, it would be significantly Democrat.
Could you elaborate why AVX-512 is not important? I guess that you are referring to GPGPU programming is what everybody is doing right now instead of SIMD in the CPU.

> These are enormously beneficial to insurance companies (they essentially have unlimited liability without them) and there is a ton of money to have the caps reinstated.

I don't understand why you'd phrase it this way. Under the ACA, 80% of premiums have to go to medical care. A dollar saved providing care disproportionately benefits the premium payers, not the company.

People act like all this money comes out of insurance companies' profits. Cigna's (to pick a random example), operating profit margin is 6.5%. There isn't this fat margin that insurance companies can use to offer additional benefits without raising rates. That's just the math.

Saying that this is about what "benefits the insurance companies" is gas lighting the public. Lifetime caps insure that you, the ratepayer, aren't on the hook for unlimited liability. Now, I personally am willing to pay higher rates so people don't die when they hit their lifetime limit. But don't piss on my leg and tell me its raining, acting like the money isn't coming out of my pocket.
Perfect example of the hiring process these days. Companies don't even communicate with candidates, they don't want to know anything about people besides their ability to crack a function on a whiteboard. If you crack it, you get the offer, otherwise bye bye. Such a shame... They don't understand that our job is way more than Leetcode. It involves collaboration, communication, creativity, thinking out of the box, etc. What's happening to you my friend is the byproduct of our current hiring techniques. Especially the ones used by Faang's.

I'm a serial faanger BTW, so no bitter taste at all... I've been there done that.

It is not your fault at all, it's just a different way of working. If you've done only freelance jobs then you have a lot to learn in terms of team work and the corporate world. You are not an impostor. Your current "weaknesses" are part of our job and what you're lacking here is a lack of experience within that type of environments. Just be humble and don't hesitate to ask questions to people. Also, keep in mind that 90% of the people in the corporate world fake it until they make it. They collect knowledge and hold on to it like they would hold on to gold. If you start digging you realize that they can't think outside of the box. They only know one little thing, but they know it very well. Of course, when you repeat the same thing over and over, at some point you become the master of that little thing. Exactly like Leetcode... spend 3 months on leetcode and you'll easily get offers at Faang's.

Honestly, I have a ("proper") engineering degree and the boundaries between working on hardware design ("proper" electronics engineering) and working on software are pretty blurred. You have a desired outcome, you apply design thought to it and then you have a work plan, you execute (whether by writing software or simulating circuits or documenting or whatever) and then you test it works and make changes.

There's a spectrum of software engineering like there's a spectrum of any engineering. It's called software engineering because it's applying an engineering approach to software.
Sorry you're being downvoted. It's definitely true that some other countries besides the US hold a more transactional view on such matters for various reasons. It's not an accident that so many South Korean crimes movies involve an innocent person who turns to crime to purchase medical care for a dying family member, for example.

Here's the thing. Cancer comes in basically two types. That which is treatable, and that which isn't. This can be either because of the type of cancer, or based on how early/late it was detected.

A lot of (possibly most of?) the money spent treating cancer is spent in cases that have very little chance for long term success. I don't think it really is, but it almost seems like a deliberate attempt to extract all the wealth from the patient before he dies.
Facebook is migrating everything. The Instagram migration in particular got quite a bit of press coverage due to the PyCon keynote.

Other organizations may choose to not rewrite or migrate. At their own peril. Likely a third party like RedHat will continue patching 2.7 for their customers but no Python.org releases will be done anymore.

More importantly, after 2.7 EOL library maintainers will drop support like it's hot. And that no single player will be able to continue supporting.

So, you might get a few more years out of 2.7 but it will be an increasingly frustrating and insecure experience.

I'd love winamp as I remember it to be a client for Google Music, as their app is heavy and very bad ux. Spotify isn't very good either, but Google Music allows me to upload missing mp3's to keep my library full and for that feature I am ready to sacrifice a lot of convenience
I know someone who had a similar experience after an operation where he wasn't able to speak English, only Spanish. Interesting thing was, his mother tongue is English and he learned Spanish when he was around 20. He eventually recovered after a few hours, but I've always wondered how it would feel to know you knew a language perfectly at one point yet be unable to understand it in the moment.

Racket-on-Chez may eventually result in a better performing Racket, but SBCL is still going to be a hard target to match.

That said, Racket on Chez means more of Racket is getting written in Racket. In turn, I suppose Racket-on-SBCL is not outside the realm of possibility. In general, it would be cool if Racket ran in more places.
