Database tuning tools are not on the near-term roadmap, but I think it's a good idea that we'll want to look at eventually. Using ML to self-tune databases is a hot research subject right now, so we'll be following developments on that front.

Ask HN: Should I leave my job?
I'm at a cross-roads with my current employer, whom I enjoy working for however our technical lead is a bit "old school".

I work for a young start-up, it's been around for a few years now and has just had quite a bit of growth all seems well.

We currently have some problems with our CI pipeline (20+ micro-services), let me paint a picture.

- Ansible playbooks used to perform every task, even when it's as simple as an 'aws s3 cp'

- No clean build environments, everything is ran on the same VM using GitLab shell executors.

- Slow pipelines, limited concurrency

- Developers don't understand how the pipelines work because of Ansible abstraction

- No knowledge about how the pipelines are ran/configured

I was having a discussion with my technical lead this afternoon about how we are slowly trying to move our GitLab CI pipeline from shell executors to docker executors to help with the rapid growth we've had in the past 3 months (50+ developers hired).

We got to a point in the discussion when he said, "I don't really see the advantages of using docker executors at all, what can't we do with our current pipeline that docker executors provide?"

After listing numerous reasons from the top of my head such as clean build environments, less maintenance and more developer freedom the conversation came to an end with nothing really resolved.

So after all of this my main question on my mind is how can I continue to work under the rule of someone who is not open to change, which is so desperately needed, and if I stay am I setting myself up for further frustrations?
How is that essential? What are you going to do about it from wherever your remote location is?
I agree with you on all points. I don't think I've ever written more than 100 lines of javascript. And a lot more of the C like stuf.

Yet, I do see the morbid sense in only using floats.
Careful of the rattlesnakes back there. I almost got bit once when I was deep in the backcountry, and I would NOT want to be forced to find out what it takes to endure that situation
It's all a tradeoff. As a passport holder, a homeowner, and an employed person who gets a W-2, it only took me a few minutes to round up suitable documents to get a RealID-compliant drivers license renewal. But I'm sure it's more difficult for many. Some level of fraud is probably an acceptable cost for not making identity hard to prove for a significant slice of the population.
Smae reason that they split off the IO block here, but exaggerated. DRAM is very different from a process perspective, with very different constraints. Even eDRAM tends to be a compromise in a lot of ways that wouldn't be competitive if it weren't literally on the same chip as the logic.

Additionally DRAM more or less has to be separate chips due to the sheer surface area for yield reasons. The amount of DRAM in a decent sized server is close to a whole wafer.
Is it a "top 10 public school" by chance?
The cost and latency of the very fast network is still too high, but for slower stuff Gen-Z is coming.
Hello

I am the creator of Chrono Weeky.

Apart from the pretence attached in modern day.. I find watches interesting. The history attached to models and the fact that each one was built with a specific problem to be solved is something I enjoy reading about. Perhaps others will too.. and so this news letter was born.

From the website:

"Chrono Weekly curates watch news and trivia from around the web.

Every Tuesday we will send you selected headlines from the industry along with some interesting data and trivia on a selected watch. There will also be a few interesting articles to read in your spare time."

My inspiration for this was Go Lang weekly and Better Dev (https://yeo.space)

Thank you

P.S. The rules say signup pages aren't allowed as they can't be tried out. I don't think newsletter signups fit into this as you need to go on the list to receive the newsletter. Happy to be corrected by moderators.

P.P.S Since the first issue is coming on the Tuesday, there are no previous issues to read on the website but they will be made available.

So are you buying services after reading first page?

I am more like discarding stuff after reading first page and getting into details when I have more time, then after I get through details I buy.
Latency between a CPU that has the memory controller built directly onto the die, and adjacent dram modules, is significantly less than if it is abstracted away somewhere else on the far side of a low latency, short distance Network link.
I looked into it for a server but I wasn't able to find a motherboard with remote management features.

I suspect there might never be one so as not to muddy the waters of Epyc's intended market.
Target has 3lb bags of honeycrips at consistently low prices $2ish/lb. It is because they're smaller apples than what you get in the "pile-o-apples". But this works great for us because we have small kids and they can't eat a huge honeycrisp anyway.

If you really like a big honeycrisp but are more price conscious, I think the Braeburn is a damn close comparison for a much more reasonable price. And they're available at all the stores around me in Iowa. Just stick with the ones that still have a fair bit of yellow/green spackle and not too much or too deep of the red color. Too much red ends up being slightly less crisp with much less tartness. That is kind of true with honeycrisp but it is really true with Braeburn.
It has more bandwidth but about the same latency. CPUs fundamentally attack memory latency differently than GPUs do, and raw bandwidth is less important.
Depends on your usage pattern. You might be hesitant to allow writes without redundancy, especially if you store something important which is mostly read-only anyway (e.g. 95% of operations are reads).

For a large write-heavy setup + "we will restore from yesterday's backup" mode of operation, you may likely be better off with a RAID10 which is faster. (Though RAID50 and even RAID60 are a thing.)
> I trust it more that the companies GDPR is supposed to protect me from.

Agreed. Just.
Depends how many people get experimental treatments. If say ~10+% of people got experimental treatments, and you have ~10% of the survivors that revived experimental treatments, then the odds are very good it's a fluke.

Did Alphabet have him sign an agreement before presenting?
Post-industrialization "third world" countries like South Korea and Brazil already have nuclear power. Pre-industrialization third world countries have trivial carbon footprints. By the time they're politically stable enough to build a functioning power grid with enough demand to justify a nuclear plant, it's generally no longer a problem for them to have one.

Also, what does that have anything to do with using them in first world countries?
Meditation and SSRIs too.

Yes, Pink Lady FTW, very cheap in Oregon supermarkets and better than Honeycrips. Also good: Sweet Tango but a bit spendy.
I don't think we have enough longitudinal data for a claim like this.

It's probably a short-term good to zero out your birthrate. That way you have tons of working age people who aren't busy being parents and can do economically useful labor.

But in forty years when those people get too old to work and there's no younger generation to replace them (and take care of them), you're gonna have a really bad time.

My hunch is that contraception is still new enough that countries like the US haven't quite reached the "have a really bad time" side of that curve, but we are fast approaching it. It's going to be rough in the US when all the Boomers retire and start consuming healthcare while there aren't enough young people paying into Social Security to support it.
I don't get the negativity here, Yelp is an incredibly useful service; especially living in NYC. With such a dense amount of restaurants in the city, you need some way to cut out the cruft.

I'm yet to eat at a Yelp 4-star restaurant in NYC that I didn't think was good. Besides Foursquare as an alternative, the reviews on Google, TripAdvisor, etc. are all way too inflated.
Man, all of those models look like flash websites. That’s the problem. The unconstrained mess of deconstructed html, the Skeuomorph movement and reconstruction of architecture in the browser, the relationship diagram... these are the same explorations of early flash and dhtml websites.

It’s challenging to rebel against the dominant paradigm because everyone ends up with tattoos and blue hair and alternative becomes mainstream all over again.
I agree with this. Immigration from low skilled people who don't speak the language is simple not an economic boon for developed nations.

Western Europe doesn't have Foxconn jobs, agriculture is heavily mechanised and you need to train for 4 years to become a basic nurse.
Fair criticism, but I think the author of the article does address your point:

"A Francophone biker in Lennoxville, a Cree lawyer in Manitoba, a Punjabi-speaking business owner on the Lower Mainland, and an anglophone trader on Bay Street may not share any basic ground of identity or culture, but all are, to varying degrees, united by practical bonds of jurisprudence, government, and economics. The novelist’s job is to shed light on the brute fact of those binding forces, and that usually means paying close attention to the institutions and individuals responsible for the country’s current state of affairs."

Personally, I would vote for something by Farley Mowat. ;)

I'm pretty jaded on the modernity of dating in general. OKC, Tinder, others haven't really helped that, and maybe it's generational or maybe it isn't--doesn't feel like many in my age group (27) are really that much interested in relationships of substance and trend more towards relationships because 'relationship'.

But again, jaded on dating in general, pretty darn content with everything else otherwise if I'm being honest (except the cat really does need to get a job and start pulling his weight around here).
Indeed, the "America the Beautiful" $80 annual pass, good for vehicle + occupants admission to all Federal fee areas is an incredible value. You can buy it right at the gate as you visit your first park, instead of the standard entry fee. No need to do anything in advance of your visit.
I had the Thinkpad W700 with the pop out side screen, not to mention the wacom tablet built into the right of the touchpad. It was a great parlor trick, and genuinely useful for running a terminal or a music player to the side of your main workspace.

I have childhood memories of going into the woods around the park to pick blackberries. The flavors to be found in good blackberries are pretty sublime. The other day, I bought a container of blackberries. Somehow, they had been reduced to bloated, flavorless bags of purple sugar water. (I suspect this is why they were a sale item.)

Altering plants for better taste does have a place.

Just a random thought. Is there a programming language for dyslexics?

Considering that dyslexia is a reading disorder, I suppose that the programming language can be really important.
Anyone know if this chip addresses speculative execution exploits eg Meltdown?
”Bracket loop bracket print bracket…”

A screen reader need not literally read what’s on screen. It typically doesn’t with prose, where punctuation isn’t spoken, but affects timing and intonation, and abbreviations often are expanded (iOS speaks “Dr. John St.” as “Doctor John Street”, for example, but “St. John Dr.” as “Saint John dee-ar”. MacinTalk used to know that ‘Dr’ means ‘Drive’)

So, it need not do that here, and could say

“call read, eval it, print the result, and call loop on print’s output”

, using intonation or voice to indicate the difference between content read from the screen and text describing it.

Farfetched? Maybe, but take a look at what screen readers do with html.

A screen reader that knows lisp semantics could go even further, and replace loop by repeat forever or something like it.
Despite its early iPhone-era skin which may not appeal to all, this is a great find. And so fast compared to the new mobile. Thanks

If you're in the Northeast, you should try a Macoun apple. More tart than Honey crisp, it's a cross between a Macintosh and some more crisp apple.

Not always the case, it’s up to the prison staff to decide what type of behavior warrants solitary confinement. Based on what I’ve seen in documentaries, for example both people in a fight might be placed in solitary, victim and perpetrator. It’s also common for political prisoners, “high profile” inmates.

When I visit China I am intrigued - and a bit shocked - by the amount of military propaganda that is on TV. A good deal of the evening news is related to their military and even a good amount of other programming. The stories highlight the rapidly growing military machine - from stealth fighters to aircraft carriers.

The Chinese people are being conditioned to support and encourage their military prowess and might to an extent even greater than the Americans.

I suspect that their long term vision and unrelenting discipline will result in China being the world's premier military force in a decade from now.
What you're describing is not a web site, but an application delivered through the web browser. Sites in the past were smaller and faster because they were just web sites. Today we have a whole host of applications delivered through the browser, with the Internet as the hard drive they're loaded from.

It's not a valid comparison at all. Compare the time it takes to download and install Thunderbird versus the time it takes to log into Gmail, and there you'll have a valid comparison. Compare the time it takes to install Office versus the time it takes to log into Excel Online and there you'll have a valid comparison. And in comparison, it's a hell of a lot faster.

Not the answer you're looking for but Meltdown specifically has never affected AMD.
I don't know anything about the finance industry, but it seems to me that there are a number of industries where the non-compete term is irrelevant, as you can still become persona non grata. For example Companies B, C, and D know that if they hire someone from Company A, they will get sued. The merits are irrelevant if Company A can outspend them relative to the value of the prospective employee.
And you consider that different from the current generation of sites how?

All kidding aside I think the overall level of USABILITY of websites is much higher than it ever has been today. But in large part that’s because they are all following the same foundations.
Yes that’s because they invested in high technology while Spain mainly banked in their legacy production and service sector, that said if South Korea and Spain would embark on a space program now I’m not sure if one has any advantage over the other both have pretty compareble aerospace sectors.

Israel already has a space program and an orbital launch platform it’s just very small because of lack of funding which according to some reports is between 50 and 200M a year that’s not enough to do anything substantial.

With 1-2 bln a year their program would likely be very different.

> That's not entirely true, for example SEC enforcement is usually a civil action

You are correct, I spoke too broadly.

Ironically, when discussing GDPR's regulatory structure, American securities law is my analogy. It's a high-cost structure. It deters new entrants and encourages bureaucracy. The cost is worth it, with securities, because the risks are so great.

GDPR is one way to do privacy regulation. From my American perspective, it's the wrong way because it implicitly trusts the government to act justly. But its results shouldn't detract from other fights to install reasonable privacy regulations.
Academy of Art University SF has been controversial for decades, however amazing locations .. it might be great fun .. Art schooling is non-linear anyway.. this may not be your best example to refute the integrity of a private college.. there are other for-profit colleges in the greater US that certainly do fit the "diploma mill" stereotypes, but not this one.
They are included only on track-oriented models of sports cars. I don't know of more aggressive track tires included on any cars. Michelin itself calls them "track tires" and rates them 4/10 for comfort (and since Teslas can go on tracks for just a few minutes, buying them makes little sense for Tesla owners).
> that's all ML seems to be.

You have to be very selective about what you consider "ML" to come to that conclusion. There has been a constant parade of incredible, mind-blowing results out of ML over the past decade, advancing the state of the art by leaps and bounds both in research and in real applications.

Do you not remember how terrible speech recognition and speech synthesis were just a few short years ago? Did you not see DeepMind finally crack Go? Check out BigGAN [1]. Try search in Google Photos. See translation getting better every year.

Yes, there are quacks and charlatans and people who are just plain wrong. But ML is real, and it solves real problems that people failed to solve any other way despite decades of concerted effort.

Is it really a revelation that governments cannot be trusted any more than corporations with our data? Their potential for abuse is even worse: you cannot opt-out of using government like you can a Facebook or a Google.
As long as we're sharing anecdata, I too was agressively pursued by their sales department after my first couple reviews. I declined, and nothing happened. My business became one of the highest-rated in its category locally. I even sucessfully requested the removal of a fake 3-star review (I know all my customers, and the reviewer was never one). And all along, I never paid Yelp a cent. I have since spent money on Yelp, but it was not necessary to reach the top of my local Yelp listings.
How do you get economic growth? People need to buy more things. An individual only eat so much food, drives so many cars, buys so much clothing, has so many dentists, lawyers and accountants, consumes so many advertisements, pays for so many utilities, etc. So how to grow sales of all these things? Increase the number of people.

It would be cool to build a clickbait classifier. Anyone interested?
Foursquare! I've been using it pretty regularly and it always seems to give me cool neighborhood gems compared to over-advertised entires that Yelp gives you. You can kinda even feel that the app was built with some heart.

Also, I love the filters on there compared to Google (Google maps always seems to hide a lot of places)
After enough of these experiences I nearly always carry a bunch of fruit bars and such around. Both improves the groups mood, and usually allows to find better food afterwards.

"Still, another dongle to carry (with Mac Mini it's not that important) and a loss of speed/added latency for e.g. video editing. With normal usage patterns even USB 3.0 external thumb/SSD drives were just fine."

What is the speed difference between the on-board PCIe connected SSD vs. the USB3 connected SSD ? Aren't both PCIe and USB3 faster than the SSD, making it the bottleneck ?

A flash drive would, of course, be terribly slow ... do they make USB "thumb drives" that are SSD (not flash) ?
