I wouldn't consider Portland to be a cheaper or more conservative US city, and it's still one of the better US cities at urbanism, sad as that is, but okay.

* The MAX has decent reach, but it's severely handicapped in capacity and speed by running at-grade. The Portland metro cheaped out there, and the result is a train system that's only good by American standards.

* Many of the MAX stops, you can go a block or three and hit single-family homes (mandatory single-family homes, I think). To spend billions on a transit system, and then intentionally handicap its usage by strictly limiting how many people can live nearby around its stations...that's just completely insane. What are they thinking? "Better make sure as few people as possible can actually use this enormous investment"?

* No bus lanes that I'm aware of, or at least few enough that a multiple-time visitor didn't see them, so buses are stuck in general traffic.

* Very few physically protected bike lanes, in spite of its reputation as a bike-friendly city. The sum total value of bike improvements prior to the Orange Line was I believe estimated at around 60m, which is probably like a hundredth of one percent of the value of the roads and other stuff built for cars.

* Despite ostensibly being a major city, most of the residential areas are zoned very low density.

* Those very low density areas also generally have no commercial/retail activity allowed, which particularly hurts walkability: part of walkability is being able to, y'know, walk to things.

Most of what I wrote here, you could apply in some form to nearly every US city.

The Rust version of ixy seems to have as many or a bit more lines of code than the C version? That is a bit suprising to me. 1306 for Rust, and '1000' for C. The Rust additionally uses 4 dependencies from crates.io

Unsafe usage is quite small, at 10%, which seems good for a hardware device driver.

"Based on our findings we can conclude that Rust is a very well-suited programming
language for writing network drivers. It is not only a fast and safe systems programming
language but was also voted most beloved programming language in 2016, 2017 and 2018
[15, 16, 17]. Writing more drivers in Rust would certainly lead to safer and more reliable
computer systems."

Pinboard has been one of the best paid services I've ever used -- though I bought it back when the lifetime fee was <$10 [0]. The Chrome bookmarklet is great, and the search/listing page is so straightforward and useful that I haven't even begun to look at the API. My main complaint is that not only are the iOS plugins costly (I've paid more for the plugins than for the entire service), the ones I've had have inconsistent/obsoleted support.

I don't have personal knowledge, but my understanding is that timeseries data in the oil industry is insane scale. Think 10s or 100s of wells in a field, sensors at regular distances in every well each taking multiple readings (temperature, flow etc) on a sub-second cadence. And a big oil company will of course have many fields.

It's in the same league as timeseries data in financial markets, which I have more direct experience of. Financial timeseries data probably has more metadata (trade/order flags etc) but in terms of raw data it's similar.

I generally like to see a "kitchen sink" page with everything from the framework in addition to the option of having to go through the various parts and discovering whether they exist and what the defaults look like. I don't know if this is a popular opinion, but if so it would be nice if it became the de-facto practice when these are released.

This applies to all frameworks pretty much - if your web framework supports out of the box internationalization, caching, authentication, etc. the best way to sell me on it is for you to release a demo with all the bells and whistles, written with the conventions, folder structure, architecture, etc. that you advocate.

I have been following TiDB and TiKV for a very long time and whenever I would look at it, I would be quite impressed. Code base is very clean and well structured, architecture is great as well.
Really looking forward to see more adoption of this database :) Since it's a Go & Rust project, memory requirements shouldn't be high as well.
The TI AM335x CPU has something (sort of) like this...basically 2 microcontrollers that share memory with the ARM cpus.

People have done some pretty clever things with it. Audio processing, driving LED matrix boards, emulating old video boards, driving precision servos, software oscopes and logic analyzers, etc.

Though that's in a small dev board, like the Beaglebone Black, not a beefy Intel server.
It's also in Midtown East.

Also, one bedrooms are luxurious. Advice for anyone looking for an apartment in Manhattan: don't waste your time on one bedrooms, look for studios. You pay an unnecessary premium for the extra wall, and it ultimately just makes the space less usable. You can find larger, nicer, better located studios for much less than you'd be paying for a one bedroom.
I can't remember where Telstra's ownership stopped whether it was to the first in-house socket or to the curb. It's all a bit irrelevant now as NBN owns the network and its problems.

Because what NBN is finding is that the last bit of copper is actually responsible for a lot of the problems. And so even though FTTC for example should be seeing significantly better results than FTTN in fact it isn't the case. So much so that NBN is looking at whether to go into people's houses to fix up the wiring.

FTTC is definitely a better option than FTTN especially since with G.Fast you are able to attain 1Gbit/s speeds.
TFA makes a bunch of claims about the functionality of make being bad or dangerous but doesn't really provide any backing scenarios to demonstrate why. E.g. where timestamps can bite you, how you can miss compiler flag changes, etc.

Without this, it reads as FUD.
Who said anything about blackmail or abuse of employees? The GP said he asked to speak to a manager and, I quote, "wasn't being threatening at all."

I don't see an issue with refusing to leave a store when you're denied a refund you're legally owed. That's literally the least threatening form of protest one can make.
>For VHF and UHF,

For VHF and UHF it matters that your antenna is very high up (on a pole, roof, or whatever w/line of sight if you want more than a couple blocks) more than your antenna 'size'. So even VHF/UHF/Microwave you still need something "big" unless you're just communicating with your next door neighbor.

There's no magic in RF. The cell system for phones only works because they pay the big bucks to put cells on every high point they can.
Ask HN: Good computer architecture books?
This question has been asked 9 years ago and couldn't find anything else.

I've read Structured Computer Organization by Andrew Tanenbaum and Todd Austin. While it was a good book I wonder what do you guys think are good books?

I've noticed I need to look for a good book because my knowledge on caching is just a bit too low (e.g. thinking that the tag, index and offset were stored in the 64 bytes in Intel caches -- this is false).
Now that's dedication, especially when you consider the cost of data on satellite phones.
I think you're on to something. I'd love to dig even deeper about this topic maybe with some examples of your logs, as well as the time commitment this practice requires.
That's cool, I hadn't seen that one. It's very similar, but with more functionality and seems to require signup (you have to have an API key to store data points)
I usually do my grain matching with a custom gizmo I've made. But then again, I'm a compositor, so I'm not so much concerned with grain as an artistic tool as I am with matching whatever the original footage looked like.

I use my own grain gizmo for grain matching. More accurately, noise matching, since it's pretty rare for me to get plates shot on film these days, and the digital noise modern cameras produce is quite different from film grain, so film grain tools don't necessarily do a very good job matching it. At least that's been my experience.

Edit: But yes, mostly if you can see grain in a big budget feature film, it's been added afterwards, as the production quite likely didn't even use a camera that produces film-like grain.

I still don't know what you mean by "urban".

For me it makes little difference, as the actual argument is one of statistics. Any one data point has little weight. The report I linked to gives those statistics, and references to similar reports.

This, and it has nothing to do with drinking so much about one brand. Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Pepsi, Pepsi Lite, Dr Pepper, Or even some Sainsbury ( UK Supermarket ) Branded Coke. They are God Damn Different.

Not only that, Coke from UK, US, HK, Japan and Mexico taste different as well. Big Bottle 1.5+L taste different to 330ml can, along with Glass Bottled Coke.

And I don't drink them often. May be once every few months or a year.

Note: I never tasted the US version of Pepsi though, so may be they are similar.

No there aren't. It's the kind of move that sounds highly desirable until you actually start considering it seriously. Notably: what happens when you get tired of your current work, or you get laid off, or something else comes in between you and your current company? If there are no comparable companies around the area, you're stuck accepting shittier work, or uprooting your life.
What many people don't know as well was that Telstra was subject to a Structural Separation Undertaking which meant that their Operations arm of the business would treat their Retail arm as like a seperate company. Otherwise it would be unfair for competitors.

Except that this was routinely broken meaning the entire telecommunications market was constantly distorted. It really was the worst of all worlds.
How is “most beloved” a prerequisite to writing network drivers? Don’t get me wrong, if Rust is a good technical fit, then that’s great, but so convince me on those objective measures.
I would disagree with that definition of physical. I believe a better definition of physical is anything that can be reduced to the laws of physics. Since the laws of physics are computable, I would enlarge the definition to be anything that can be reduced to a Turing machine. It's logically possible there are irreducible entities, i.e. partial oracles, so it is logically possible there are non physical, yet physically testable entities.

In the article the point is a bit subtle, but partial oracles are still not Turing reducible. The point of the article is that the fact humans cannot solve all problems does not imply they are Turing reducible.

At any rate, from my cursory analysis, it appears the notion of a non Turing reducible human mind is empirically tractable, so I still don't understand why it is not a viable scientific hypothesis and why AGI is assumed to be necessarily true. The mind as a partial oracle would imply AGI is impossible.

Thanks for the link, I'll be checking it out!

Somewhat related: Brian Cantrill's "Is it time to rewrite the operating system in Rust?" (https://www.slideshare.net/bcantrill/is-it-time-to-rewrite-t...), whose conclusion is (following Betteridge's) "no":

> An OS kernel — despite its historic appeal and superﬁcial ﬁt for Rust — may represent more challenge than its worth

However it suggests more hybrid approaches:

* asm/C kernel with Rust kernel components like drivers and filesystems, Rust can be used for new developments and enable an incremental introduction, mentions a prototype example in freebsd

* Rust for non-kernel OS components: an OS is not just a kernel and utilities, daemons, management facilities, debuggers, … bundled as part of the system tend to be more prone to run-time failures than the kernel itself (and more commonly face hostile interactions), making them excellent candidates for Rust

* Rust-based firmwares: firmware is "a sewer of unobservable software with a long history of infamous quality problems", some areas of firmware (and kernel) development are weak in rust (e.g. dealing with allocation failure) but that aside it looks amenable to Rust
Now now, that’s rather unfair to Jason Kottke. It should be abundantly clear to any regular reader of his, and both the text and the embedded YouTube player includes attribution to the creator.
Is it time to rewrite the operating system in Rust? [slides]
Great movie, though. Watch it!
I find the critical difference is length of time committed to a project. For my core business interfaces I use my own framework developed and refined over many years.

For front end website development I just recently gave up and decided to use Bootstrap. (not implemented yet, just decided it recently) Mainly so that any web designer can jump in on the site and be productive with it, not just me.

I don't want to use my personal framework for sites that others will have to work with because onboarding is too much work for them and I am constantly improving my framework. But for my own work you couldn't pay me enough to use someone else's framework.

Ah, right. That's true. Since the elegant program is guaranteed to halt, then we'll get to it eventually. My mistake. That being said, even with infinite resources we will never know when that actually happens, so we still will never known when Solomonoff induction has succeeded.

I don't see what will come "crashing down." Science is about being able to quantify and empirically test our hypotheses. Nothing about uncomputable intelligence seems to undermine this idea, but perhaps I am missing something. Instead, it broadens the range of hypotheses we can use to explain the world, which seems to be a good thing.
I don't want to give entirely the wrong impression. I'm active in the local club (have been the treasurer in the past and have dinner once a month with a bunch of the members), I've met a number of great people, and I like the tech stuff.

But you often run across a lot of anger. Some of it is grumpiness-- I have other hobbies and in other hobbies it is not the case that the culture is that things are bad and sure to get worse-- but there is absolutely also an aspect of craziness. I have heard, for instance, a local ham with a UK accent being berated at length on a local repeater for being a foreigner.

I don't get the anger. If you have the leisure to do something that you say you enjoy, why are you mad all the time?

The most recent incident for me was that I was on voice during a Sunday morning making some calls and someone with max power starts talking over me. When I say the frequency is in use, I am told that everyone knows this is his frequency on Sundays, and then he goes back to spouting hateful stuff with what is, I presume, the same group he always spouts it with. That'll keep you off the radio for a while.

One of the things I like about Morse is that I find that the people pride themselves on their manners. But there are other things also, including just that I always thought it was neat, since I was a kid.
The function of dream sleep (1983) [pdf]
They're decent for their price... but you won't hear much, as they're stuck in 136-174 MHz (some AM airband, but the radio is FM) and 400-480MHz (local PMR446, some pager networks operate here).

Also no digital modes, and max bandwidth (25 KHz? don't remember) limits what you can postprocess in the computer.

Otherwise, they're fine for low bandwidth stuff. They work great as ghetto amplifier for 433MHz applications.

To get started I'd rather recommend a RTLSDR dongle, they're under $10 and you can listen (though not transmit) from 24 MHz to 1.7 GHz at 2MHz bandwidth: you can capture images from weather satellites at ~145MHz, scan for weather stations at 433 MHz, various telemetry at 868/915 MHz, airplane tracking, L-band satellites... for some of these things you'll need some sort of filtering and amplifying though.
Disregard, I realized my error is that the elegant program is guaranteed to halt at some point, which gives us the Kolmogorov complexity. We just will never know when that happens, even with infinite resources.
Love the idea, it was head-smackingly obvious when I saw your Show HN. Handling this is a PITA in an app and I’d much rather pay for a 3rd party service to handle it.

Some feedback:

- the main benefit is that I don’t need to write or maintain code around storing, retrieving, and hopefully visualizing time series data

- pricing looks fine. Maybe even a little low for Business. But I’d have to try it out to understand if the usage thresholds are too high / low. May want to have a plan between 75 and 450 - that’s a big, painful jump

- May want to think about spending some time editing your copy so it’s crisper. A lot of it can be put into an eg FAQ (why not to use a temp email, for example).

- some examples in other languages would be useful (Ruby, Python, JS, etc)

- I like that I can create an account with just a curl POST. Good stuff.

- one concern is how fast is retrieval? If I’m retrieving data in a request thread I want it to be FAST. One factor here is server performance. If you’re using eg AWS to host that would give me some confidence that you can scale up beyond a hamster wheel if necessary

- no way to try this out on mobile, which is I suspect where a lot of people will first see this. How can you remind them to come back when they’re at a desktop? Collect an email and remind them maybe?

Haven’t tried the service yet but assuming it works as advertised it’s a good start.

Congratulations!
> Google is one of the few companies with the resources to try to drastically improve the technology and fix this problem, but they instead decided just to double down on consolidating their staff in big offices. Obviously works for them but it’s a shame.

I'm a googler, and this is completely wrong. Google absolutely wants to fix the remote work issue. Nearly every meeting room in the company is equipped with videoconferencing equipment, and "dialing in" is an accepted practice, with people occasionally dialing in from home being quite common. Hell, they sell their videoconferencing stuff to other companies even, so the monetary incentive is certainly there.

But fully remote work also introduces organizational problems that current tech, at least, does not overcome.
