No, you really shouldn't, it's not a real problem. The only people who keep tallies of gender pronouns in documents are internet trolls; don't indulge the trolls. Anyway, switching up pronouns every other time breaks continuity and makes documents harder and painful to read.

It depends on what methodology is used to classify traffic as inbound/outbound. The large DNS response in your example counts as outbound packets, but it's part of an inbound TCP connection. I don't know how peering agreements work.

v004 - Production Rules -- Michael Fogus
This installment will deal with production rules, their purpose and implementation as well as an exploration into rules-driven OOP, data, and extracting ourselves from the Tarpit. Plus, I list my 100 favorite Jazz albums.

A dive into the inner working of a small production rules system using the Clojure programming language.

This article is the first in a series focused on logic programming implementation ...

So it seems that is a published zine where you buy an e-copy for between $5 and $20 with a cute little sliding bar that tells you the author's cut of the money you send (basically 80%) Interesting User interface design.

The idea of Production Rules harkens back to the Simon and Newell days of the General Problem Solver (GPR) using generalized if-then statements to implement programming, similar to a generalization of an expert system.

I think the i9-9900k has a real-world sustained power draw of around 170W, actually: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13400/intel-9th-gen-core-i9-9...

Add in all the ancillary hardware (motherboard, memory, hard drive, PSU losses) and that efficiency number is going to take a nosedive.
The point you made above was that the illegal immigrants are "diluting your vote":

> What about the civil rights of American citizens who don't want their votes and social services diluted by illegal immigrants

This is a misrepresentation of the facts. Yes its true that these children would not have been American if their parents hadn't immigrated to America. However, they _were_ born in America and the immigration status of their parents has no legal baring on their citizenship or right to vote. They have as much of a legal right to vote as any other American.
On the contrary the entire philosophy was built around the idea that every sector of society -- business, labor, churches, and so on should serve the end goals of state and more abstractly the nation/race. But today ignorant people use the term "fascism" to mean "something I don't like". It's a shanda.

As much as I appreciate what she's saying, I feel like she's trying to combat the Orientalism/othering. Once the damage is done, it's hard to come right out and say "these people are one of us after all" and expect to be taken seriously.

Mistreatment of the Canadian First Nations and American Indians is one thing; they are our neighbors, and either we inhabit the same land or we stole their land. The story is similar for Asians, Blacks, and Latinos.

But at some point you have to accept that humans are tribal and are only really motivated to care about their own people. Case in point:

‘Never mind foreign aid,’ we read in the Daily Mail. ‘What about national aid?’ ‘Why,’ a Telegraph editorial demanded, ‘should British taxpayers continue to pay for flood defences abroad when the money is needed here?’ I don’t know – maybe because Britain invented the coal-burning steam engine and has been burning fossil fuels on an industrial scale longer than any nation on Earth? But I digress.

Huh? Is this a form of reparations? I mean, great -- reparations are certainly in order. But to deny people their desire to take care of their own? That's a great way to lose people, and have none of them rally to your cause.

To suggest that people ought to start thinking otherwise is to suggest dismantling the entire nation-state system. That's not gonna happen. Your fellow national citizens always come first. You can certainly get people to care about foreigners, exploitation abroad, etc. But you aren't going to convince many people to make sacrifices for said foreigners.

When it comes to the refugee crisis, you have to acknowledge that people are afraid. They ultimately want law and order; they want to maintain their standard of living (maybe they are already struggling and are very loss-averse); they want opportunities for their children. If you are going to convince people to start taking on refugees en masse, you will have to convince them that they, their families, and their livelihoods will be safe.

That said, there was a lot of interesting and enlightening content here. I always dismissed Klein in the past (I read about 10 pages of The Shock Doctrine in college and that was enough for me), but maybr I'll go back and see what else she's written.
You forget there's also the security twonks in the mix. Those people in favor of forced updates and signing everything too. "Oh my god", they say "what if the user ran something bad!?".
I find that style much worse than the "on-road" style due to people crossing the bike-lake to their cars without looking.
They also routinely fill up with rubbish if there is any construction going on, or any issues with garbage collection (often enough that once per trip you have to get off your bike, take it onto the road, past the obstruction, then back onto the bike lane).
If you are using MDB_NOSYNC in production, keep in mind that the trade-off for the boost in performance is that a system crash can lead to an unreadable database.
Once upon a time, the whole internet was going to be built this way!
The title is kinda misleading. This should mention Payload for vulnerabilities within the Ruby libs.
Had to read your answer twice... "High latency???" But I see you consider 1-2us high latency. :P

It is an interesting question what people who don't have access to a supercomputer, but would like to learn and optimize for HPC-style distributed memory programming should use.

I've found AWS to be pretty nice, except there are no RDMA drivers for the elastic NIC and the BW is a bit low. (25Gbit vs. 100Gbit). For MPI bulk synchronous programs, it's probably a pretty close model, though.
> This is about your phone doubling up as a Linux PC and being able to use your phone as a PC seamlessly when required by simply connecting it to a monitor. This can be super useful for a lot of users.

Something a phone that supports running arbitrary Linux distros will naturally do without having to depend on random projects like this one which try to give similar functionality by shoehorning a Linux distro on top of a mobile OS. You're also at the whim of mobile OS 'manufacturers', who may make changes to the OS which then break the shoehorning effort.

> And there is nothing 'crappy' about Ubuntu 16.04 especially given all distros are the same underneath.

This isn't even remotely true. Here's a few ways distros differentiate from other distros: custom kernel patches (or not), custom patches (or not) for applications they distribute, package management (!!!), response time to security issues, support they offer (official, community, etc), upgrade model (rolling release vs big crap dump of updates every X months).

> Why this name calling against Ubuntu?

Ubuntu does a lot of the above differentiation stuff wrong, IMHO.
the law setting DST policy was from the voters

Absolutely correct; this law was set by Initiative Statute in 1949... and has been flouted for decades now.

If the law was obeyed, DST would still start in April and end in September.
The fact that data centers don’t get hot enough to melt aluminum is by design.

But I’m not sure I understand your point. I look Google Maps images of the Wenatchee Alcoa works and the Google Data center in the Dalles and they seem order-of-magnitude the same size to my eyeballs.

You seem to think I don’t appreciate how much energy aluminum smelting requires - I do. But imagine the heating element of your aluminum crucible broken into a million pieces, each piece with a cooling system to keep its temperature down. That’s a data center.
I wonder what topology this has--it definitely seems reminiscent of older supercomputers like the famous Thinking Machines CM-5, which used a hypercube.

Mainstream CPUs are heavily optimised for latency over energy consumption (using speculative execution to effectively waste a multiple of the energy required for the computation itself).
It'd be an interesting exercise to try to design an architecture optimises energy consumption over latency (perhaps rather than deep cache hierarchies, using cores that can power gate while they are waiting for memory accesses...)

[Googler here] We have much less company-provided alcohol at work than most tech companies that I'm aware of. Mostly beers once a week, and most people don't participate.

This change is mostly talking about work social events that take place off site. My team's company holiday party last year was piloting this and gave each person two drink tickets upon entering.

I think banning alcohol completely would reduce the attendance of these social events, so this is a good step where we can keep the social benefits without letting it get out of hand. For instance the holiday party I mentioned was on a Friday night. I really enjoy having a few drinks on a Friday night, and I'm much more likely to attend a Google party with 2 drinks tickets than one with zero. I know that sounds silly and immature, but it's honest.
Yup, we had SQLITE in the same fashion (synchrnous=OFF, and other non-safe settings, no WAL also) and had occasional crashes, then someone had to manually delete the database (in our case it's for a desktop app, a tool, so no server-like requirements, yet we want it to be stable).

Would remove the MDB_NOSYNC then, and see how it goes...
Last piece of advise. Yeah make sure you “compress it”. Don’t make the mistake of getting comfortable like I did for a decade and not keeping up with technology. It’s really hard to get caught up once you do. Be aggressive about keeping up with technology.

I would like to think that if it ever came to it, I would always choose technology over money. Every month that you keep using older technology you’re accumulating technical debt in your own career.

That's often because they have an apprentice they can send in the middle of the night. Then they can come by in the morning if needed and bill for everything.
Honestly I think it's the other way around. Yes, we inherit some issues from our parents, both through genetics and through the way we're raised. But you don't have to go many generations back (at least in my family) to see a massive upwards trend in how well we were raised and cared for.

I look back at my parents and see flaws in them from the ways they were raised, which I don't have because they worked so hard to make my childhood better. And then from them back to my grandparents, who despite their own flaws and challenges, mostly did far better than their parents.
The S9 is also very expensive. Only a few years ago the ~$300 phones were awful. These days they're far better, and the flagships are well into the realm of diminishing returns.

Disney simply has too much incredible content to be ignored. Pixar, Marvel and everything from Fox. At the very least it will dominate as the preferred choice for families. Also just saw then that Disney which owns 60% of Hulu are interested in buying the rest of the company. If they did I imagine they would shut it down and fold it into Disney+ as well.

> No. Containers on a single node are too fast.

You can add artificial delay to your local container network to better simulate a production environment.

For example using https://github.com/alexei-led/pumba and "pumba netem delay" you can add networking delay between Docker containers, and "pumba netem rate" can limit the bandwidth between them as well.

("pumba" is just using the underlying Linux networking traffic control technologies, such as the "tc" command from "iproute2", so you don't have to use "pumba", you can set this up manually, but a tool like "pumba" makes it a lot easier.)
[Googler] This is how I feel when I see an increased emphasis on training. Making a bunch of leaf-node employees like me sit through more simple online training is not going to fix the problem we have (although it can't hurt). It doesn't address the harassment that comes from extreme differences in power and a lack of accountability.

Still, I am cautiously optimistic about today's announced changes.

RNA Sequencing of Cardiac Cells May Elucidate Cardiac Developmental Mechanisms
This study is the first step in the study of researchers to define the "transcriptional landscape" of normal and diseased hearts at high resolution. Furthermore, researchers are expected to clarify the progression of heart disease with age through more in-depth research, and the tools developed by researchers can help to develop organs or systems outside the heart.
It's interesting you mentioned Harari because he mentioned Google when describing #2.
The Human Diagnosis Project Is Looking for a Design Lead
They use sequencing tools to identify cells such as cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. The researchers found that each cell type is very different, in the case of normal disease, there will be signs of functional changes in the heart cells, for example, researchers can detect metabolic changes in fibroblasts. In addition, the researchers also found a network of genes that regulate heart hormones (especially GDF15) during heart disease. Cardiac hormones can slow down overall body growth, presumably to reduce the energy requirements of the damaged heart. Such signals may shed light on the more biological mechanisms behind the growth limitation of children with congenital heart disease. Researchers prove that in-depth heart biology research can help researchers develop targeted therapies to work with key genetic networks, and it is expected to develop more therapies for patients with heart disease.
The researchers analyzed 20,000 nuclei from heart tissue from normal and diseased mice with a snRNA-seq method called sNucDrop-seq, and they have developed the sNucDrop-seq technology and applied it to the heart of a mammal's birth. At present, researchers only pay attention to the study of cardiomyopathy. The main manifestation of cardiomyopathy is the progressive degeneration of heart tissue, which is also the common cause of heart failure in individuals. Researchers use mice to mimic childhood mitochondrial cardiomyopathy. The researchers say the heart is a very complex organ that contains multiple cell types, and researchers are still unclear about the mechanisms of heart development and heart disease in mammals after birth. In this study, the researchers focused on three areas of research, namely normal heart development, heart disease, and the gene regulation mechanism of the cardiac hormone GDF15.
The researchers claimed that they applied a large number of parallel single-nuclear RNA sequencing technologies to heart studies in postnatal mice for the first time, which may provide biological events involved in normal heart development and heart disease. Their final goal is to find targeted therapies for heart disease, in addition, this type of large-scale sequencing can be applied to many medical fields.

In the past three years, researchers have begun to use a large number of parallel single-cell RNA sequencing technologies (scRNA-seq), however, due to the large size of cardiomyocytes, researchers face many challenges in studying the technology of single cells in the heart after birth. In order to enable analysis of large cells (such as muscle cells) or complex morphological cells (such as neuronal cells), researchers have developed a number of parallel single-nuclear sequencing (snRNA-seq) technologies, but so far, this technique can only be used to study the central nervous system. In this study, researchers first tried to use the snRNA-seq technology to study the heart tissue of an individual after birth.

If I'm interested in a particular show, I usually use https://justwatch.com to see which streaming service(s) carry it.

20% of cases where the perp had been drinking. It doesn't necessarily mean they were drinking to excess. Someone who wants to harass another employee doesn't need an excessive amount of alcohol to do so.

It seems almost taboo to say this in 2018 but in my experience alcohol, when used by intelligent, respectful, mature adults facilitates healthy bonds that would not be there otherwise and persist long after the effects of the alcohol have worn off.
