>I think you’re missing my point that as time goes by, the need for storage space has a tendency to increase

Hahaha, my Acer laptop from 2008 had 160GB storage space, and it was not much by the standards of the time.

So no, we're still not back to 2008-level storage space needs on a laptop.
Ever worked in the UK or Europe? Some things are culturally particular.
After going through the article, I'm not seeing anything that supports or justifies the phrase "decentralized" or even "semi-decentralized". The terminology should be "distributed".

Claiming this is semi-decentralized is confusing, and seemingly wanting to borrow from the recent success of decentralized systems (like IPFS, ours, GUN, and others) without being honest: There system is distributed, not decentralized. In the same way "Serverless" totally requires using servers.

Otherwise, very good article.
I see their have some questions (like how good is the windows and android support) that are not answered? or only internally? I think will be good to see what them found.

No, that's really not at all what the article, the quotes from former employees, or my own experience says.
Note that you also aren't using "token" in the usual way it appears in computer science.

ANSI Lisp's Glossary gets it right:

> token n. a textual representation for a number or a symbol. See Section 2.3 (Interpretation of Tokens).

"1234" and "A1234" are tokens: chunks of accumulated token-constituent characters inside the reader. These are turned into values, which are no longer tokens. We never have a "tree of tokens"; for that to be true you have to abuse the word "token" to denote "Lisp value".

The Lisp AST consists of nodes which are typed values. (Some of those values are aggregates that are not lists: let's not forget vectors and structure literals.)

When non-Lisp-programmers write parsers for non-Lisp-languages, they crank out AST's which imitate the concept. A typical approach is for the parser rules to produce nodes based on a discriminated union of types: in its essence, an implementation of dynamically typed objects.

What can we look at for a real example? How about GNU Awk. This has a Yacc grammar:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gawk.git/tree/awkgram.y

in which the YYSTYPE is of type "INSTRUCTION *", a pointer to the structure defined here:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gawk.git/tree/awk.h?id=e24c...

Okay, so that would be our GNU AWK AST node. What is it? Why, just a grotesque Greenspunning of some dynamic typing. The two unions in there are like car and cdr. The semantics actions of the Yacc parser do a whole lot of list_create and list_append involving this INSTRUCTION type, often behind various wrapper functions like mk_assignment or mk_expression_list and whatnot,

The main difference is that the Lisp way of representing AST's is just cleaner and smarter, like the Lisp way of doing pretty much anything.
How does this compare to Redis?

Worth checking out the Ars Technica article published today which has an independent point of view on the same topic. But FWIW this was written by our engineering team, not marketing.
it means you need to have your monitor and keyboard ready in several locations. at some point if you work on the go it does not make sense anymore.
Unless your phone was issued by your employer, is managed by MDM and runs all the traffic through your employers firewall anyway.

On the other hand, there are laptops, that have cellular radios. My old Thinkpad surely does.
It's also to mark the receipt, preventing someone going back into the store and putting same items into the cart (slyly walk by self check out) and leaving with the same receipt.
Docker's pretty great, I recommend at least trying to put a simple container around your app, if that'll get you onto v2. It's probably a lot easier than migrating your whole app off of their platform.

Also, look at it from their perspective. They support everything when they support Docker, no need to have specific tooling for Node.JS.
That's fair. The question of what to do about it is purely
political - let's take our best estimates of what the effects of climate change are going to be, our best estimates of the cost and ways to reduce the bad effects, and come up with an approach.

I think you're understating the amount of real science that is available for the effects of continued GHG emissions on our climate. Agreed that the effect it will ultimately have on our civilization is truly speculation because that depends on our response over the next 50-100 years.

Your comment made me think of people who say we need to move to Mars because of climate change... there's no shortage of dumb arguments on both sides of the debate. But to be clear, based on what I know, I would still advocate an aggressive move towards decarbonization.
At least we all know what did the Doge do.

You might find the whole business of VMs and containers amusing also, as they are often running aLinux kernel and up (VMs) or a Linux app in a sandboxed Linux environment (containers) on top of ... Linux. So the names are pretty much true.
Definitely not accusing you of being an anti-vaxxer, but I would love to hear your sources for some of your statements, because they contradict the data that I've seen. Searching now again, everything I'm finding is showing really big improvements in mortality from cardiovascular disease.

I'd also like to know the basis for asserting that the health care industry doing more harm than good.

Looks cool essentially but...

> Linux on DeX currently supports one customized Ubuntu image (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS version provided by Canonical) which only operates on selected Samsung devices. (Note9 and Tab S4).

What a waste. Hardware vendors can never produce a really good piece of software. If something as humble as RaspberryPi can run fully up-to-date unmodified Arch I'm pretty sure my Note3 has all the hardware power to run it too yet they require a super-duper-recent device produced exclusively by themselves and would only let us run an almost 3-yr-old distro they have modified.

That might be ok for you, but not for me.

I am not going to work anywhere that I don't enjoy. I will instead quit and go somewhere else.

You are free to do otherwise. But just be aware that people have fun at work because they like to do so. And many people would quit if they didn't enjoy their work

Redis isn't embeddable, but a standalone server application, and thus it's not really the same space.
The Lumia 950/XL were the last hurrah for the platform, so one can hardly blame Continuum for the demise of Windows on phones.

That still sounds like a great return if it was just setup by one guy? Even if his legal and running costs were $2M - walking away with $10M would be great

The Xiaomi scooter I have has 2 brakes, but you only have direct control of one. The motor does some regenerative braking any time you let off the accelerator, which I've found is enough to cruise down a moderate grade quite nicely. Sometimes on a steeper grade (which SF has some of) you need to reach for the disc brake. This essentially gives you a front and rear brake.

To my knowledge all the scooters do some sort of regenerative braking. The Segway-brand scooters that Lime uses seem to ONLY have regenerative braking but those give you a little paddle to control it with. I wouldn't trust one of those to go down-hill, but anything with a disc-brake is fine.
My first paid programming job was writing a Logo Adventure program for C64 Terrapin Logo. They wanted a simple non-graphical game that showed off Logo's list processing capabilities, and I just used Logo's top level interpreter as the parser! That saved a lot of coding, but it did let you cheat (aka "learn to understand and program and debug Logo").

Here is the source code to LLogo in MACLISP, which I stashed from the MIT-AI ITS system. It's a fascinating historical document, 12,480 lines of beautiful practical lisp code, defining where the rubber meets the road, with drivers for hardware like pots, plotters, robotic turtles, TV turtles, graphical displays, XGP laser printers, music devices, and lots of other interesting code and comments.

More about "The Apple II Source Code for the LOGO Language Found":

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18142287

Also: I just recently got back in touch with Jock McClees, president of Terrapin!

He told me: "My brother and some MIT guys like Danny Hillis started the company selling a kit to build the robot turtle. I got involved and licensed Logo from MIT since the turtle was fun but never amounted to much and we didn't have the funding to do it justice. My brother and the original MIT guys had moved on to other things when I got involved and the company was limping along and not long for life. Believe it or not, from what I was told, at the time MIT and many colleges didn't realize the value of licensing and C64 Logo and the Apple version for a short while were bringing in more royalties to MIT than anything else they had licensed at the time. The amount they got from us wasn't that large."

Pat Sovalvarro and Leigh Klotz worked together on the C64 version of Terrapin Logo. Leigh wrote a 6502 assembler in Logo that you could use to extend Logo and integrate it with hardware.

It turns out that Ken Kahn (of ToonTalk and Visual Janus fame) was one of the early investors in Terrapin, and actually got most of his money back! (Pretty good for educational software, ehe?)

The modules in question were for an embedded system with 3 different memory size options. The LPDDR chips and ASIC were on the memory module (4, 6, or 8 LPDDRs), and the module connected to the baseboard with a high speed mezzanine connector.

Is this something you are looking to build for your own system? I assume the ASIC was proprietary but I could reach out to the vendor and see where they had the modules made (or if they were built in house).
It makes you wonder what advances in science and engineering have been stalled because of DRAM costs. Particularly in countries with less money to throw at research etc.

The stated reason, "to check for overcharges" doesn't really make sense. Those door people know what everything costs in the store?
Honestly, if this works well I might migrate to this. I've always thought the laptop is an ergonomical nightmare; moving the central processing bit to the phone always makes sense yet not always possible. There has been mentions of Project Linda here, but I'd be far more interested in having a portable, ergonomic, computing solution. I have not found it. The closest one is having a laptop on a roost stand (which still needs an extra mouse and keyboard). I think modern smartphones are powerful enough, what they need is a sensible display.
This is a really cool product - but it's a very different beast from Now 1.0.

Now 1.0 really was my perfect deployment tool: you can HTTP POST it a Dockerfile and it will build that container for you, start it running and start routing HTTP traffic to it.

This means you can use it for essentially anything that can be expressed in a Dockerfile. And the Dockerfiles you use work anywhere that runs Docker, so local development is really simple.

Now 2.0 is a totally different thing. It's a way of running HTTP fronted lambda-style functions written in Go, Node, Python or PHP. It looks like you can add other platforms by writing a new builder but there aren't any community-driven examples of that just yet.

It's cool, but it's a completely different product from Now 1.0 - and for my particular use-cases (my Datasette project and serving machine learning models) it sadly doesn't appear to be suitable.

I kind of wish this was called something else - "Zeit Lambda" perhaps - and old Zeit Now with the Dockerfiles could live on as a separately named project (rather than being the legacy earlier version of Zeit Now).
It shouldn't be the opinion of the person on the scooter what is safe or not safe to do with said scooter on the sidewalk. Take space away from cars, not pedestrians.
iirc, MakerDAO was originally going to peg itself to the IMF's SDR, which is a basket of multiple currencies regularly rebalanced to achieve "universal" stability[1].

They then decided to peg to the USD to please traders, who measure in USD. But I understand it's indeed a long term goal to peg to a more stable asset. The underlying mechanism should stay the same.

The cynic in me thinks that inbound traffic on 1.1.1.1 is "valuable" mostly to help balance Cloudflare's inbound vs outbound data flows. This balance is important in deciding whether their peering is settlement free.

They're a CDN and send out a lot of bits, so every last bit of inbound traffic helps. Or am I totally off base on this?
Curious comment. My reading of it is exactly the opposite of reinventing any wheels.

During the boom, I was really glad that ED was around when I wanted to make large buys because it eliminated counter-party risk. With regular exchanges it was common to have withdrawals halted or have deposits not show up for hours with no support, if they showed up t all.

Speaking of representatives and bikes, there's a massive bipartisan congressional caucus on biking (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_Bike_Caucus), yet it's not really gone anywhere in the form of policy.

It certainly would be amazing if national incentives could be set up to redesign streets nation wide to favor bikes and pedestrians in the same way we do cars.

I'd say a good rule of thumb is that the smaller the number of observations, the less you should trust any research that hasn't been reproduced. And when it comes to publication of false positive results, always remember your XKCD: https://xkcd.com/882/
I think it's fair to not want to turn that on in the kernel on chips that don't support it in servers. It's really expensive on those kinds of cores to trap into the kernel (a KPTI makes it dramatically more expensive).

That being said, server cores with their long me or pipelines are the most likely to not have an issue with unaligned access, so it's probably a moot point.

Catering to the broken is like 90% of every developer and data scientist's day.

I've spent the past two weeks just trying to fix some horribly wrong/invalid data that is absolutely positively guaranteed to always be correct due to certain standards and lots of money and one of the biggest best tech companies in the world stands behind it.

Guess what it's still broken they just refuse to admit it.
I disagree. You're assuming that only direct punishment can affect behavior, when the _threat_ of punishment after first offense can also affect behavior.

As a ridiculous hyperbole: assume a life in prison minimum sentence is established for speeding, on the first offense, and that it's actually enforced. I guarantee you that very quickly we'd have everyone driving under the posted speed limit at all times.
Does that mean Amazon has a lease from ARIN on those batches of IPv4 addresses for a period of time (in the same sense as a domain registry for x years) or actually own them?

#2 seems obviously wrong; minds can be conquered (that's what propaganda is about), if you conquer minds you don't need to fire a shot to conquer, and—except perhaps for a handful of the most totalitarian regimes as targets—its never been easier for a hostile power to deliver propaganda to the citizenry of a target state, especially if the target is a developed democracy.

So, yeah, the importance of minds as resource might be part of the reason for the absence of major armed conflict, but for almost the exact opposite of the reason Hariri suggests.

MIT PhD Wants to Replace America's Voting Machines with Open Source Software
Oh okay, I guess that entire paragraph is just a complicated way of rephrasing their claim, which is that there is at least one TM for which no TM can possibly answer the halting problem, but for which humans can.

So then, the claim is that it's at least conceivable that humans can do this, because you can remove a finite or even infinite number of elements from an infinite set and still be left with an infinite set. I still don't understand how this is a remotely useful insight or in any way an indication that humans may have super-Turing abilities.

I have a general rule to ignore any statistical interpretation in articles like these. Data interpretation is hard. There are a lot of variables that need to be accounted for, and under the best circumstances of academic peer review, we still get it wrong.

This article also feels like it has an agenda. Maybe I'm not familiar with MotherJones, but the tone of the article strikes me as unprofessional. And the headline, that's obviously correct and means nothing. It's like saying, "Why You Shouldn't Trust Every Stranger You Meet".
They are checking that items were not rung up multiple times. My guess is something scans once but the cashier doesn't realize or isn't pay attention and scans it again by mistake.

"Technology" could mean silicon, or it could mean rules, or it could mean processes. It could mean lots of things. In this context, I think it means silicon and the internet, as opposed to, say, "melt certain ores".

How to Crack, by +ORC
It was possible in '95, too. Just not on the web. But offline emails and forms were absolutely present in '95. If anything, offline email was the standard in '95, as pervasive networking wasn't yet a thing, so everyone used local email clients. Local replication of email and data went downhill as networking improved. There was web-based email fairly quickly as the web grew (AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail, and others), but it was mostly personal accounts. When gmail came on the scene, people started to accept online email for business as well.
Well it's had the opposite effect on me. As a man in my mid 30s, in university as an undergrad for the first time, I hope to start a family before I'm 45. The data from this article, in stark contrast to the alarmist headline, has given me some reassurance.

I can't think of any reason other than spite for a woman to wish birth defects and fertility problems on men she's never met, just for the crime of waiting longer to start a family.

Life isn't fair to men and women in this case. We don't make it fair by hurting men, we do it by helping women.
