Yeah, not sure where the article came up with that word. It looks like this was about testing a custom variant of a server/supercomputer processor to see how long it would hold up, yeah. So presumably ECC and the 32 cores are on one or two processors, but definitely not an actual supercomputer or even the high end of single chips.

For that matter, it doesn't look like stage one of putting a supercomputer into space. (And really, why would you want that?) From that last paragraph, its tasks from now on will be running sample takeoff and landing calculations, which implies this is about testing whether modern tech can replace existing flight computers.
We're not comfortable talking about revenue publicly, but HashiCorp is an extremely healthy business at the moment. We've doubled revenue ( at least, maybe more ;) ) two years in a row and thats from a starting point of 7-figures. If we chose to halt hiring and growth, we could very easily be profitable today even with the 350 employees we have. But we're still seeing really strong growth and so we're continuing to invest!

Upload and download capacity shouldn't be too bad. SpaceX was promising gigabit to multiple customers. Latency will be an issue though --- assuming you want geostationary for stability of routing and ease of aiming dishes.

The SpaceX system was quoted with pretty good latency numbers, but has the added complexity of multiple satellites and everything moving. I've grown used to knowing which servers are nearby which other servers.

From a practical side, remote hands is going to be expensive, and who are you going to impress with all the fancy security in your lobby etc.

In the article the authors mention conducting a study:

We have come to this conclusion based on an exhaustive, web-based study of everything that the 100 wealthiest US billionaires have said or done, over a 10-year period, concerning several major issues of public policy. For each billionaire we used several dozen carefully selected keywords to find all publicly available information about their specific talk or actions related to any aspect of social security, any type of taxation, or anything related to abortion, same-sex marriage, or
immigration policy.

the authors of the article have written a book, coming out soon:

Benjamin I Page, Jason Seawright, and Matthew J Lacombe are (respectively) Fulcher professor of decision making, professor of political science, and PhD candidate in political science at Northwestern University. They are co-authors of Billionaires and Stealth Politics, forthcoming in 2018 with the University of Chicago Press.

Perhaps references & the like will be found there. Looks like the book won't be shipping till early December, but you can peruse the table of contents here:

> This argument is broken. An ISP engineer debugging need only look at IP packet drops in their part of the network.

That's just not true in practice, pretty much on any level.

First, you need to look at a lot more things than just packet drops (e.g. reordering, queue buildup, corruption).

Second, even getting full visibility into your own network is highly non-trivial since nobody has active probes on every link. My experience is that arranging for packet captures from an arbitrary point in the network could take a week. And if you guessed wrong about which node was at fault, you'd need to do it again in a binary search pattern.

Third, you absolutely do need to know about things other than your own network. Otherwise you don't even know whether there is a problem you can solve. If the bottleneck is in the server, or the client, or the transit links, there is no point in debugging the core or the access network.

> If their end clients are asking them to debug an issue then they should debug it at the end points, not in the middle.

The endpoints are not going to be available. Do you think that Youtube is going to give an operator some kind of server access or even insight to the traffic? Do you really want to see a world where a customer having a complaint needs to first root their phone and install packet capturing software?

What you're really saying here is that no problem should ever be debugged, and we should just hope that the network doesn't break. And hope is not much of a strategy.
Having taught asm to people as their first language, I'd go with something like an MSP430. Since a 6502's registers are only half the pointer width, it really makes pointer manipulation more of a pain in the ass than it needs to be. That really obfuscates quite a.few.of the concepts that you're trying to learn by writing asm for a simple core.
Work on hard algorithmic and distributed systems problems. Pachyderm is hiring
Core Systems Engineer:

Love Docker, Golang, and distributed systems?

Pachyderm (github.com/pachyderm/pachyderm) is hiring distributed systems engineers to help us build out the core product -- a distributed version-controlled filesystem and data processing engine. You’ll be solving hard algorithmic and distributed systems problems every day and building a first-of-its-kind, containerized, data infrastructure platform.

While your primary focus will of course be building the core product, you’ll also have direct exposure to users and enterprise customers via our open source support channels. At Pachyderm, OSS user and customer feedback is major driver of our product roadmap and we believe that everyone within the company should experience that first-hand.

Pachyderm is just 8 people right now, so you'd be getting in right at the ground floor and have an enormous impact on the success and direction of the company and product.

You can of course check out the product on GitHub (github.com/pachyderm/pachyderm) because it’s open-source.
We offer significant equity, full benefits, and all the usual startup perks.

This role is based in San Francisco. Email jobs@pachyderm.io to apply or check out our other job listings at pachyderm.com/jobs

Qualifications:

* 2+ years of experience working in distributed systems, data infrastructure, back-end systems or related development work.

* Major contribution to prominent and related open-source projects are a plus or can be a replacement for work experience in some circumstances (e.g. You’ve been a student just finishing your degree)

* While it is a bonus, experience with Golang is not a strict requirement. Programming languages are tools in your tool belt and we’ve found that great engineers have no problem learning new tools.

* Our interview process strongly tests for communication as we have a very close-knit dev team and a collaborative work environment.

I've been using Tailwind lately and I really like it. It lets me prototype and iterate quickly, and then when I've settled on a design I can create component classes for those completed styles. It has made doing frontend work slightly more bearable for me.

To be honest, I appreciate attempts like VoidLinux that tries something genuine and brings enough difference to warrant its existence and support, but this really feels like some consumer wanting their own named distribution of what already exists.

When you tunnel your protocol in UDP, and control both ends, you can get overwhelmingly better flow control than TCP, which cannot trust the other end, so must rely on packet drops to get a reliable signal.

When you can trust the other end, rate of change of packet transfer time (delta packet delay) reveals congestion exactly -- i.e., increasing time means you had better slow down, decreasing, you can go faster.

Only problem is, the receiver has the signal, but the sender needs it, and the useful lifetime is less than the packet delay. So, you need a predictor on the sender, fed by corrections from the receiver. This is control theory applied to network flow.

This is how all of Hollywood sends reels around the basin to effects houses, and completed movies to digital projection theaters.

The space shuttle had 135 flights, of which 2 were TPK’s. So a 1 in 68 chance of failure. And that’s on a man-rated launch system. The Russians have been having 1 in 10 to 1 in 20 non-human rated rockets failing. So even compared to our non-Kessler Syndrome world, a 1 in 1000 risk is almost insignificant.

However, what I’m really comparing it to is the popular perception - that Kessler means hundreds of years of humanity trapped on earth - In which case 999 non-issues in 1000 is fantastic.

And that’s with a magical worst case.

Regarding pricing: you rate $50/year as pretty high in comparison to a USB backup drive. I think a better comparison might be to other cloud storage services.

Quick survey of cloud storage pricing:

Dropbox personal 1TB: $120 / TB / year

Google "One" 2TB: $100 / TB / year

Microsoft OneDrive 1TB: $ 70 / TB / year

Apple iCloud 2TB: $ 60 / TB / year ($120/year)

Flickr "unlimited": $ 50 / year

So, I think Flickr pricing seems in-line (and significantly cheaper than Dropbox.) Of course it depends a bit on what unlimited really means in practice.

The project in question uses PostCSS, which is to CSS as Babel is to Javascript.

The point of a broad set of utility classes is to have predefined and discrete classes that map to conventions your application uses. Here's a few examples from an app I use:

.u-colorPrimary {
font-color: var(--utils-css-c-primary) !important;;
}

.u-textSmall {
font-size: 0.75rem;
}

Each of these are a "standard" that we use throughout the app. There are NO one-offs. These can then be composed into "component" classes (e.g. .Button, or .TextInput).

The benefit is mostly threefold:

* Maintainability is great. No hunting throughout the templates when you want to change the primary colour. Just update the .u-colorPrimary class, or its underlying variable.
* Our developers can look at a design and mostly do it themselves. No need for a CSS pro to come in.
* We can package these into a node module and share them across our apps.

You're right: this is laziness. I don't like to repeat myself, and I like consistency.
I've had a pretty good experience with KDE Neon over the last year or so, very few problems.
> So if you have a large number of buttons or other elements with the same class you will be repeating yourself over and over.

In the HTML, sure. But so what? It gets compressed in transport so there won't be significant overhead there (similar to how remote desktop protocols that send images with compression turn out to be just as efficient as those that tried to send intelligent drawing commands), and the browser has to compute the final style for each element anyway so there's no overhead in-memory either.

> This would be a nightmare to work on/maintain.

HTML is an output format, you don't edit/maintain HTML any more than you edit/maintain binary machine code. And keeping the styles inline allows better encapsulation: the styling for each component lives in that component, you don't have the spooky action at a distance of child selectors.
It's not capitalism. It's greediness. Most resources are abused not because they need to be abused to progress but because some CEO or investor somewhere is not satisfied with a 100% profit, he wants more.

Resource abuse also happens/happened in communist/socialist countries.

We have to separate resource use from abuse.
> Energy and cooling seem like easily solved problems

Unfortunately, there are a few orders of magnitude difference between the ISS and a data centre. The ISS solar panels produce up to 120 kilowatts [0], assuming the station is in the sun. A large data centre can use power upwards of 30 GWh [1].

Launching nuclear reactors is also somewhat controversial.

The times change. Back when I worked in the MCC building, newcomers with an HP calculator were told "you better not bring that into the building again."

The chief flight director (Gene Kranz) apparently had a thing about HP.
For someone who does not know Void Linux, what does it bring that is genuinely new? From the webpage's description, it looks like Arch with a different init system.

To me e.g. Fedora's Team Silverblue and NixOS seem genuinely different, since they completely rethink how installations and upgrades are done.

I'm just talking about where I work; we've heavily invested in telepresence, to the point most everyone has a desk phone with a camera, a camera attached to their pc or both plus dedicated telepresence rooms integrated into outlook's meeting calendar. Almost every conference call is now video with the exception of really large calls like incident management.

I had 3 trips from North America to South America in the space of a year for recruiting, hiring and training and it nudged me into United's bottom tier, Silver. One more trip might have pushed me into Gold. Considering there's three tiers above that when you include 1K and Global Services and you can see other than possibly boarding in Group 2 there's not much point in the frequent flyer program. I requested upgrade on a flight from SFO to IAH recently just to see what would happen. I was something like number 58 on a 70+ person list. Again - all just anecdata.

Could someone jumpstart the process by getting some status tier via credit card? No doubt. Can they push it further using mileage runs? Of course! There's a flyertalk forum dedicated to it. But airlines are on to those shenanigans and the days of mileage running yourself into top tier status without a great deal of effort including getting one's employer to book flights that aren't the bottom-most fare classes as those yield the least in rewards. In fact there is at least one fare class (N) that gives no mileage or points at all.

Consider website builders. Have they made web developers redundant? Generally, website builders suck. They do not allow for the customisation and flexibility required. Static site generators, such as Jekyll, are pretty good for their limited scope, but tools such as Webs generally remain bad for any purpose.

I don't believe some kind of drag + drop editor will replace programming. Even if some kind of editor could, additionally, design underlying functionality and design well, programming also involves a certain style of thinking. Mathematical thinking, for example, is not only applicable in research mathematics. I don't think "business people" could design apps better than us, even if such a tool exists. Indeed, the converse has been true, however (software engineers have indeed managed to replace, to some extent, business people). Startups have thrived on the idea of not monetising early, I think that's something missing in traditional business.

I don't see software engineers being replaced by drag+drop editors, or the typical users of such editors, ever. Conversely, I believe software engineering is one of the most secure job fields there is (some others being mathematicians, scientists, journalists, etc.) - though I may have a bias in this respect.

What may be true, however, is software engineers being replaced, to some extent for some tasks, by their own creations. Although it may be an interesting discussion, it usually follows a lot of hypothesis and any evidence-based discussion on that matter tends to be moot.
