>AFAICT that's a compiler optimization, not a runtime optimization. But yes, generally the Go team is working to improve performance.

Right, it is a compile time one.

>Go binaries contain _everything_, while C programs (usually) statically link against libc (glibc is on the order of 10mb by itself).

Did you mean "dynamically" (for C) [1]? Also, I'm not too sure if Go links all dependencies statically by default, if that is what you implied above. IIRC I read somewhere recently that some things are linked statically, and some dynamically - I need to check that.

[1] I need to check it for C too, because things have changed since I last used C a lot.

>Go's runtime is also quite a lot more complex than C's--it comes with a scheduler, a reflection system, and a garbage collector. These are one-time costs--the binary for a program 10 times the size of hello world is pretty much the same size as the hello world binary.

Agreed on the points about the other stuff Go has that C does not, like a GC, reflection, etc. And that those are one-time costs. But they are still costs, and if you create lots of small binaries, that cost adds up. Disk space is cheap nowadays, but depending on the use case and your environment (e.g. small or embedded system, cost constraints if shipping many copies of a h/w + s/w product or appliance, etc., that cost might be significant. Whereas with some of those other languages that I mentioned above, those costs can be quite a bit less, times the number of copies of binary or appliance that you ship. That's all that I meant. That's not to say that we should not use Go, though, of course. As always, the overall picture and all factors need to be taken into account, e.g. the benefits of Go's language features vs. some of those others, team knowledge of the various language contenders, even availability of needed libraries, time to market, etc. etc.

The article makes no mention of GDPR, and the fine was levied due to (in)action after a breach in 2016. Is this really GDPR related as the title says?

Latency. When you're making music and interacting with it directly, you can't afford any noticeable latency. When you're passively listening to it, that doesn't really matter. For phone/tablet users the main place this matters is games, due to their interactive nature.

Using VS for Cross Platform C++ Development Targeting Windows and Linux
Exactly. Just recently I struggled with pairing a bluetooth speaker with my father's laptop. Another, exactly identical bluetooth speaker paired fine just the day before. The second one couldn't be paired for two days, and I have no idea why.
The fact that this bluetooth speaker has three different bluetooth modes with three different ways to switch between them via a single button doesn't help, and even after years I couldn't figure out which mode is meant for what purpose.

And the problem is that this happens regularly unless you never switch any device, which in reality doesn't happen, because nobody wants to buy nice headphones for every audio source.
Bluetooth is a mess, and I'm glad I stayed with headphone jacks so far.

I've been hearing repeatedly that the party is building up a "human shield" in case the West will start going after party members individually.

There are no benefits for an average person in China to join the party aside from your member card doubling as a free public transit ticket.

First, you can't meaningfully participate in the political process in any capacity, without already "being somebody" in the party.

Second, only 1 in 1000 of party members will ever see any chance to work in any meaningful position. Yes, the actual amount of people who do politics in China is no more than ~70-80 thousand extremely privileged people, picked among the most fanatical candidates.

Third, even if you already "is somebody," and passed the impossible odds, and be picked out from the most fanatical party members, your remit will be no more than to blindly execute edicts passed from above.

Fourth, if you survived for over 2 decades in a position of low ranked official, your brains will not. Anybody who spent so much time mentally tortured by routine work and doing meaningless, brain dead "ideological research" will have their spark extinguished, no matter how talented they were.

Fifth, when you turn a grey haired party veteran who can recite all Marx works from memory, and have a genuine chance getting to provincial or national level, you are a useless husk of a person, who can't do anything but mechanically follow the politburo.

Sixth, if you survived even that, and surpassed everybody else at doing that ritual, you end up becoming a man in ranks of Xi Jinpings.

Jiang Zemin, was the only man ever known to "hack" that system, and he is universally hated by party for that.
I don't have any reason to doubt the truth and logic consistency of either Rich's post or your reply. The problem is not the logic, it's the rhetoric. For anyone out of the loop, he sounds like an interstellar douchebag. And, because the article is public, this can become a problem.

Ask HN: Is tensorflow ready?
I've been trying to get up and running with TensorFlow for image classification and while I have some working code, it pales in comparison to the non-working code I have accumulated over the past few weeks. I have an older retrain.py example script working for building models, but trying to actually serve it has been a whole other ball of wax.

It seems every tutorial (outside the 'hello world' level), or resource, is broken or otherwise inaccessible. A number of sites I needed to signup for (kaggle, nvidia) had entirely broken processes for participation. And the TF documentation has a way of saying a lot without saying much at all.

Trying to use tensorflow_model_server has been a tailchase of signatures, request formats and arbitrary incompatible saved model formats has gotten me nowhere. I tried to trace back the evolution of some example code with git blame and it was just PR's with empty descriptions. (i would expect better from google?)

Oracle released graphpipe to streamline model serving - which seems like a great solution on the surface, but its been impossible to get running, also poorly documented, and in the end a waste of time for me.

Usually, for most technology, I can push through the pain and get something going. But Everything TF and related seems novel, poorly documented, and hacky. I've been at it for weeks and still haven't made the kind of progress i'd expect to have made by now.

I've never had THIS much trouble with any technology and it's starting to stress me out. I know I'm ignorant of the deeper ML theory, but holy crap how does anyone use this? Is Tensorflow just this hard for everyone? Because it presents itself as a framework for developers-like-me™ to get into ML, but it has been nothing like that for me.

It always bothered that Spotify doesn't have an icon on menu bar; so I decided to create one. With "Spotify - now playing" you can, easily from the menu bar, see information about the current track, control the playback (previous track, pause/play, next track) and add the current track to your library or playlist. The code and app to download it's here https://github.com/davicorreiajr/spotify-now-playing.

In any case of bug, of suggestion, please open an issue in the github repo!

Hope you enjoy it!
Does this mean the party has control over his company?

No more than it would have if he wasn't a member.

It has control either way. (If important-enough people are interested in it)

>In my opinion, the rest of the world should be stopping US, Israel, and Saudi from continuing their global terrorism programs and ending imperialism.

You are not alone. There are many of us in the West who tire of the duplicity and arrogance of our governments actions around the world - those of us who have taken the time to actually educate ourselves about the statistics of the Wests' Coalition War Machine find ourselves nearly overwhelmed, daily, with disdain at what we so-called enlightened civilians are allowing our governments to do around the world, in our name.

Just the fact that nobody knows what's going on in Yemen at the moment (imperialist war machine out of control), but can easily name the Kardashians, is disheartening enough.

But if you ever meet refugees from countries victimised by America's illegal, heinous wars, its another thing entirely. If you don't get angry about what our war machines are doing, you're simply on the wrong side this time around.

This time, we are the bad guys.
>What DoH does break though, is internal DNS resolution of internal intranet hosts. Those would obviously be corporate owned as they would obviously have a corporation specific domain anyways, so no MitM is needed anyways because the admin can just look at the traffic on the server side.

>This means that as DoH becomes more widely used, a corporation has only two options to continue to be able to allow users to connect to internal sites, both of which are worse from a security standpoint than the status-quo:

Why not just have an internal forwarder that does DNS-over-HTTPS? Browsers would send traditional DNS to the forwarder, and the forwarder would do DoH from there.

If you cannot work out by yourself why an academic article would include that the historical range of the subject under discussion is all over the place, then I am not sure that any attempt of leading you to it is going to help. Perhaps just have a bit more of a think about it. Have you read any of the referenced papers?
Nice poster.

Generally quite well. Pairing means your devices know to look for eachother, and the bitrate of music streaming over Bluetooth combined with the low range means you'll need some unrealistic congestion before things really start to fail.

Was that what Apple told their customers? Because it's utter bullshit. Sony, Samsung, LG, even those ultra-rugged CAT phones had headphone jacks and at least IP-68 (5m, 1h).
So? There are almost 100 million party members in China. And higher the education you are, the party will be more persuasive in having you join them.

And it is in China, come on. Being a Communist member isn't a SIN. And Ma openly said he is a fan of Mao and would not hesitate to hand over Alipay to the 'country', had the government asked for it. So make no mistake, he joining the party is like a win-win for, both parties(no pun intended).
I think you are just a guy who is at wrong place, at wrong time.

Maybe you should try changing your circle of friends and meet different people, that can instantly change your mood.

For example, at the place that I'm working, I felt the same way, then I found a nerdy group of people playing DnD. Instantly I felt better and I have people that I can call friends that I can just hang out with.

My 2 cents :)
Don’t forget video. Bluetooth adds latency, and “true wireless” (no cable between the earbuds) adds another layer of latency as the signal has to be sent from one earbud to the other. Noticeable enough that you have to manually add delay between the video and audio tracks, if your player allows it.
And how practical is it to keep track of yet another adapter?

Is there anyone that suffered a sort of midlife crisis after university? I fortunately have a job as a developer doing what I set out, but find I'm lacking the social connections I once had, especially since moving to a new city with few connections, the ones which I have already I'm fortunate to have, but still the feeling of loneliness creeps into me when I feel like I have no excuse to me. I think I'm lacking the deep relationship where I can open up to someone about how I really feel, rather than the usual conversation of what I _think_. (overthinking infact being a reoccurring problem)
Indeed, if we look back France committed 18,000 troops for the first Gulf War that was widely considered a just cause. Similarly most of the NATO allies supported the USA in Afghanistan.

But that going into a war on a false pretext is morally corrupt, and fortunately most Western governments were above that.
In my experience, configuring whole disks as software RAID is a world of pain. My experience is that a disk with a single partition is much more reliable when in an mdadm array. I wonder whether this was because I was also using a bugged EFI mainboard.
The 80% is questionable news but that is not what I posted. The CDC had money earmarked for pandemic prevention and that money will run out in 2019. It has not been renewed.

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2018/02/cdc-fundi...

”That money has been used well, to train epidemiologists, buy equipment, upgrade labs, and stockpile drugs. If it disappears, progress will halt, and potentially reverse. The CDC, for example, would have to pull back 80 percent of its staff in 35 countries, breaking ties with local ministries of health.”

I also have a few domains on Google, but I’m actually not a huge fan it. Aside from it being slightly more expensive, outside of the domain search UI, I find the UI for managing a domain clunky, and confusing. I’d imagine it would be easier to use if I were more bought in to the Google ecosystem (e.g. GSuite) as there are tons of options for integrating your domain with google services whether or not you use them. However, I only use google domains, and all of the stuff they’re pointing at are on other services (Digital Ocean, ProtonMail, etc.) so most of the management UI for me is just noise. Because of that, along with most of my stuff being on DO, I just have them all pointed to to DO’s nameservers, and I do all my management through DO’s DNS service (which is free) and don’t have to use google’s UI after setting the nameservers. DO’s UI is quite a bit cleaner and easier to use (in my opinion), and the tight integration with DO’s other networking tools (API access for LetsEncrypt and Floating IPs mostly) is just a nice plus.

I’ll (hopefully remember to) switch my domains over to (probably) namecheap as it’s usually the most recommended one in these threads to save a few bucks a year when it comes time to renew them.
Yeah and it takes a company the scale of Google to maintain it. Not feasible for pretty much anyone else.
Hah, this is very subjective indeed ;)

advantages of jacks + wires: reliable, 140 year old industry standard, plug-and-play, universal, cheap, easy to repair, doesn't require battery, doesn't require configuration, doesn't get out of sync, cannot be hacked by a third party.

downsides: sometimes all those wires tend to mix and make knots.
A friend succesfully managed (once) to get it to work when we were 12. First we lightly grilled and boiled the bananas and mixed it with some reseve rolling tobacco that his dad kept above a kitchen cabinet in an old biscuit tin. We smoked one joint and then collapsed onto the sofa. It never worked again regardless of how many times we tried.

A few years later his dad invited us to smoke a joint with him while his wife was away - and let us into his secret stash of premix, squestered in an old biscuit tin, stashed above a kitchen cabinet...

The amount of bugs in UEFI of new motherboards shocks me. Bugs are all over the place; sometimes I change an option in Setup only to find out it's disabled after reboot, and switching the option ON for the 2nd time works. Or, on my motherboard boot menu is bugged. To boot my Windows disk, I have to choose 'Switch to English' menu entry. I'm afraid to clear EFI vars because currently at least it works, who knows what'll happen when I clear EFI vars.

This really discourages me from buying new hardware.
Is it just me or does it seem like the more we study the universe the more discrete it becomes? That coupled with weird things like imaginary numbers and magnitudes of infinities makes me believe we need a to rewrite most of our math using an axiomatically discrete number system.

OP asked what stops people from switching to BSD. I agreed that for me, too, the missing Docker toolchain/runtime is a dealbreaker for me, as I have to work with these technologies on a daily basis. As Docker and friends see rapid adoption, others will think twice whether they switch to a BSD and have to run a Linux VM, too. I'm not sure what you're after here. You seem to think that Docker and Kubernetes are "fad technology" and are inferior to some alternative? Which orchestrator would you recommend? Which container tech?
1) so the solution is to have a second phone that you have to charge and update and install apps on and keep them updated and then just bring around with your main phone? and also probably have to bring two charging cables as well, 1 usb-c and 1 micro-usb for your old phone. can you honestly see everybody doing this?

2) that only makes sense if you have 1 pair of headphones. if you have say headphones and earbuds then you either have to buy two dongles or else remember to swap it, which you will eventually forget at some point. if you want to listen to music in your car reliably then you will need to buy one for there as well

4) ive been using bluetooth in my car since its been available and its better in some ways and worse in others. a few android updates in the past have caused problems and i couldnt connect for months until the next update was released.
currently my phone connects ok to my car stereo the first time, but if i stop the car and start it again there is nearly always connection issues and i have to turn bt on/off to get it working again and try various other things. if this what you mean by adapting to change? yea im definitely getting good at fixing it at this stage but its a bit much to expect others to go through the learning process

just pretending the adapter is part of the cable doesnt help much when you want to charge your phone and the port is being used by your headphones

you mentioned "great" options? you clearly havnt put too much thought into this but you got to complain about people complaining which is probably the main reason for your comment.

Where can you get them for $2.65? I've never even seen one for sale.
First, as I don't know the system in your country, I would consider two things:

1) what is the safety-net available to you? i.e. in my country, if you file the proper paperwork you can get some support for caring for a disabled relative. Or there might be a possibility to make your health-insurance to pay for their problems

2) you say you are likely losing your current job. Can you first try to negotiate qith your superior for ammendment to your current employment? I.e. when my daughter was born I managed to negotiate 30h instead of 40h week, just to be able to help my wife with her.

3) W.r.t. 2) you could try to change jobs, it should be easier to negotiate 3k/20h in a new job where a corporation wants you for a position, than with your current employer.

In your position I would be afraid to venture outside of regular employment. In my experience, when stressed with a family-crisis, I wouldn't be able to deliver consulting projects reliably, especially if I didn't have a pipeline delivering reliable well-paying clients.

I wish you luck!
Most of them. For a party of that is bigger the size of most nations in the world, it is almost impossible to unite those members diverse interests under a single ideal.
