I wouldn't say it has brought zero benefits. Many websites now offer the possibility of rejecting tracking cookies, many companies have reconsidered and modified how they are treating user data, and we now have the right to request all our personal data from companies. Hopefully the situation will improve further when a few misbehaving companies are fined.
There are places where relational DBs are inherently better than noSQL (namely when you need fully up-to-date information on every query, no matter what) - But those situations are becoming more rare compared to situations where potentially stale data is an okay tradeoff for performance gains.

Honestly, IMO the biggest issue holding noSQL databases back is lack of good documentation/support a lot of the time. Technically, though, they're going to become the standard for most use cases soon.
Every other tool I’ve seen used would be an even bigger clusterfuck with massive dev teams. I can’t even start to imagine trying to manage tasks for 500 people in Trello or Asana or that rinky dink tool that I can’t remember what it was called. None of them have enough structure to keep track of the work of 5 people, let alone 100 times that.

As a hacker with no design background, reading Design for Hackers [1] was life changing. I finally understood that design is just a set of rules and that really modelled well on my engineering mindset.

Add to that frameworks such as Bootstrap CSS and opinionated website builders such as Weebly and I finally overcame a major limitation in my skillset. I could now actually build what I wanted to build, knowing that it looks decent and I can focus on what is under the hood.

If the web all looks the same, it is probably because it is built by people like me who need a rigid framework to work within.

Different use-cases. You can do crypto operations in a hosted worker (sign/validate requests, auth clients), make caching decisions that don’t require you to consume (precious) client bandwidth, and make routing decisions based on both client properties (geo-location, auth state, etc) and server properties (backend uptime, latency, etc).

A good example is HTTP middleware in your web framework of choice: there are things it does that can’t be done safely or correctly on the client, but that you may want to do at the edge before it hits your backend entirely.

I don't think I can express exactly how wrong you are.
You're not convinced that 2*9/18 != 18/9?

I think you may be seeing a different argument than OP was making.
Yep: 50ms CPU time is a lot. Network calls aren’t meaningful CPU time, which is why you can use Workers to call to third party APIs. You may want to be mindful of doing that during a user request as it now adds a dependency & latency, but it’s certainly possible to call out to a translation API or mapping API & cache the results...
To remain within the scope, content and intent of my argument, I would say that the pieces identified as "BIOS", "power cord" and "CPU" do not constitute three separate computers.

I believe there is only one, but "at most one" is a compromise that works for me.
That's exactly what I mean. They're cool but impractical. In the end, most websites have actual content they want you to access, and overly cool innovative design can get in the way.

The Smithsonian in DC is also free to visit.

We aren't really talking about the same thing here. Many National Parks are massive properties with extensive ecological concerns and staff overhead. But they aren't even close to the sole extent of publicly owned land, that's where the BLM comes in. And there are the national grasslands and the forest service lands as well. We haven't even touched on state owned public lands or conservancy lands.
This distinction is not useful to the people whose information was accessed. Perhaps healthcare.gov could have been designed in such a way that sensitive user information was not available to client systems, or somehow required that clients have higher levels of security to prevent this from happening.
Parts of the public can't access these crowded parks right now anyways. It's literally impossible for everybody to access the parks at the same time.

But I'll concede your second argument because it's politics. Not the first time politics or religion win over rationality either...
Ask HN: A large tablet for PDFs?
Black Friday is coming up (here in the US). I have a large and growing collection of papers (and some books), and I'd like to be able carry them around with me. I don't like the idea of reading PDFs on my MBP, so I've been considering a full-sized (12.9" of larger, which is the size of a US Letter sheet of paper) tablet.

I'd like to be able to annotate the PDFs, and search them. I used to use Goodreader on an iPad, but reading on the smaller-sized iPad feels straining.

One option is the new "iPad Pro", but the dang thing is $1200 if you include a stylus! That seems like a lot if you just want to have easy access to your papers and books. Sony's DPT RP1 is another option, but it seems like it's not well supported.

Anyone have any suggestions? Good battery life, and a large and readable screen are all I need.

Thanks for your time.

A website is not a book, but just like novels have found an effective form, so websites have also found an effective form.

Very nice. Does this also solve the original drawback of IF of not being able to handle categorical values? You could create dummy vars but this would lead to somewhat biased results using the standard orthogonal splits. Would EIF work better here?

Why do we need to know the market value of visiting public land?
That's a bit of a disingenuous exaggeration. It's not the page table walking hardware itself which is Turing complete -- it's the page fault handling mechanism as a whole, and trapcc involves playing around with trap gates and TSS from what I recall, which almost certainly involves executing microcode that goes through the main core execution units even if not a single x86 instruction is being executed.

So no, it's really not fair to say that the page table walker is its own computer. It's just a simple state machine. One tuned for high performance etc., but far from a fully-fledged computer.
> Can you run code on a GPU if the cores that can touch it's configuration registers are disabled?

I suspect yes, if they are disabled after the configuration is settled.

That is to say, the GPU require their continuous presence and support in order to perform a complex calculation. We could set up a GPU to calculate, say, 100 digits of pi, and then clock down the other processors until it's done. Maybe it could indicate by an interrupt or something when that happens so then things can be resumed.

It seems fair that anything that can calculate while other parts are suspended is countable as a separate computer, even some of those other parts are required to prepare its initial configuration and inputs, or to announce the result.

There is no constitutional issue here. He still has freedom of speech, as he can still say whatever he wants. He still has freedom of the press, as his employer (CNN) can still publish anything he submits, if they so wish.

Freedom of speech doesn't guarantee a platform, and freedom of the press doesn't guarantee unlimited access.

The behavior of the parties involved could be argued separately, but I still don't see any "constitutional crisis."

> Some numbers in a set called the "smooth reals" square to 0... without being zero. This seems to create a universe in which every geometric object is "infinitesimally straight". I haven't fully grasped why this works. It's like the dual numbers, but somehow made all-pervasive.

It's not the existence of the set of "smooth reals" that square to 0 without being 0 that creates the universe in which every geometric object is infinitesimally straight.

Rather, for any ring of "smooth reals" R, the set D={d in R:^2=0} allows us to construct a "dual ring" as follows. First, take the map RxR -> R^D sending a pair (a,b) of "smooth reals" to the linear function D->R given by d|->a+bd. Then induce a ring structure on RxR that would make the map into a ring homomorphism when R^D, the set of R-valued functions on D, is given the pointwise ring structure.

Explicitly, (a_1,b_1)+(a_2,b_2)=(a_1+a_2,b_1+b_2) since (a_1+b_1d)+(a_2+b_2d)=(a_1+a_2)+(b_1+b_2)d, and (a_1,b_1)(a_2,b_2)=(a_1a_2+a_1b_2+a_2b_1) since (a_1+b_1d)(a_2+b_2d)=a_1a_2+(a_1b_2+a_2b_1)d+d^2b_1b_2 and d^2=0.

Thus, we have the structure of a ring on the set of RxR, which is tradtionally denoted by R[e] where e(psilon) is a variable x assumed to square to zero, i.e. an indeterminate, so hypothetical, order 2 infinitesimal.

Now, Axiom 1 of synthetic differential geometry asserts that the map sending the ring of dual numbers to the ring of R-valued functions on D is a bijection. In other words, it restricts the domain of discourse so that, when it comes to functions on order 2 infinitesimals, we may only ever talk linear functions, and it also expands the discourse in requiring that we have distinct linear functions, one for every pair y-intercept,slope pair.

It is the second bit that forces every geometric object to admit "infinitsimally straight" approximations, because every geometric object is essentially contained in a copy of R^n (n-tuples of "smooth real numbers"), and so it is forced to have non-trivial linear functions from D.

---

One reference for the relationship to the dual numbers is the first few pages of Anders Kock's book Synthetic Differential Geometry, available from his web-site at home.imf.au.dk/kock/sdg99.pdf. Another, more readable reference, are Mike Shulman's notes available at http://home.sandiego.edu/~shulman/papers/sdg-pizza-seminar.p....

You propose that your solution is the only mechanism for finding out the actual monetary value of visiting a park. Let's say that's true. But why is knowing the actual monetary value of the park good, and why is it so good that it outweighs the downside of preventing the poor from visiting the national parks?

Rumors are Zen 2 is 13% faster on average than Zen+.

Looking at fastest single-threaded CPUs:

The fastest Zen+ is 2950x at position 85, roughly as fast as Broadwell C, with score of 2230. Now 13% more would give it 2520, roughly matching Haswell 4790k (number 15).

So no, it's not likely going to lead every single metrics.

Every era has its third-rail speech codes. It wasn't that long ago that saying certain things would literally get you burned at the stake. We consider ourselves enlightened today because nobody cares if you say those things.

The irony, though, is we've just adopted a different speech code (political correctness) where expressing a taboo notion will get you metaphorically burned at the stake.

I wonder what people a century from now will think of our modern speech codes. If past speech codes are any guide, they won't think positively about it.

> the history of the Universe occurred instantly when the first observation of it was made

Perhaps that history could still collapse into existence in stages, as subsequent observations of it became more detailed. The first observer would see far-off galaxies as small white dots in the sky, but not the composition and interaction of each, so perhaps those aspects don't decohere until later observers see more using telescopes.

And not only history but also laws of physics could come into existence in this way. If earthlings are the only observers in the Universe, perhaps dark matter holding galaxies in a circular shape is a law of physics which only came into existence when observers on Earth could start seeing inside other galaxies.
