Dear meteors, please hit the earth soon! I cannot stand humanity anymore.
Damn. That certainly is a unicorn. Congrats on finding it.
It's not that heat can't go anywhere, it's that there's nothing to carry heat away.

On Earth, air molecules can carry heat away from you. You transfer heat to the air around you. In space, there is almost no matter around you to absorb the heat and carry it away from you.

Your only option is to radiate heat away from you in the form of infrared light but that is a slow process.
That project has been defunct for years. The company that claimed they could do it (and never even got started) has pivoted to Navy research projects.
If you are looking for an alternative to MPI, you should try Coarray Fortran. It supports parallel programming for both "within a node" and "between node" communication.

Coarray Fortran is now part of the Fortran programming language, and has a very simple syntax similar to array operations.

Based on my experience, the performance would depend on the compiler implementation and I would recommend GCC compiler instead of Intel compiler.
True, yes I’m sure there are a ton of factors. Xenophobia and research excellence are just two important ones.
Good question, but the ethical morass is probably insurmountable.
yes, this. I'm doing this and negotiating firmly is the key, but stick to your guns, be prepared to not get as much money as you could if you're full time, but if you have valuable skills then in the current market its certainly doable. They'll grumble a bit at first but once its a fact then life is smooth.
Is the heat map available to customers now or is it still a request you have to do?
Ah okay. Thank you for the clarification.

It sounds similar to Freenet then, with perhaps less of a stress on anonymity.

Hear hear! As wonderful as it is that we can build applications on top of the open web platform, we must never forget that the web's greatest strength is that is is a universal network of documents — readable by cross-platform document viewers (aka browsers). The interactivity on top of those documents is what makes the concept so unique, so powerful. No other application platform or format by any vendor can claim anything close to this. That's why we need to treasure HTML, CSS, etc. These standards enable universal understanding and sharing of web documents. I can "view source" this very Hacker News page I'm writing on, and I can see why there's a text box here and a button below that and comments below that. I can find out why the Hacker News nav bar at the top is orange, and why there's a beige background color underneath. Never, ever underestimate the importance of that. Front-end development isn't some crappy bag of hurt we need to minimize. It's a glorious exploration of all that is possible on the web.
This will accelerate global warming and kill off fragile ecosystems from all the heat being radiated to the oceans.
I find a lot of the frustration with such things in rust is because people try to optimize things very early with rust, because it makes it explicit when you are opting into something which costs some performance. Many beginners try to write something with references which either won't work (and in C++ would simply crash) or requires substantial effort to accomplish without some degree of indirection, runtime tracking, or allocation.

In higher-level languages the indirection and allocation are so ingrained into the language users don't even realize it's there (how many people know that basically every class member access or function call in python involves a hash table lookup?). If you try to do the same in rust you find you need to say where you want the runtime tracking and indirection to occur, and in general this means you use less of it, but it doesn't mean you should tie yourself in knots trying to avoid it. A little more eager use of trait references, Rc, and RefCell makes for a much better rust experience, but there's a strange psychology to it which makes people unwilling to do it, even when they know it's there and how to use it (and there is a difficulty of teaching beginners that it is there and how to use it).
A long time ago, at a university far, far away, I worked with SGI's gl library, which had FORTRAN bindings. In retrospect, that seems like a very smart idea. At the time, we stuck with the C bindings.
I don't think it's fair to try and nitpick people's ethical decisions like this.

Imagine yes, this person would work for Amazon even though they're in China too. Does that make them not working for Google because they're in China a bad choice? I don't think so.

Are we really prepared to tear everyone down who isn't absolute in their morality?
Modern agriculture depends a lot on financing for machines, seeds, implements, even labor. Banks and suppliers will use this to get as much as they possibly can from farmers. And if you don't get financing you simply cannot produce anything. This guarantees that a bad year is enough to break most farms.
Also, better insight into partition sizes / what's causing hot spotting. The DB abstracts a lot from the user, which isn't necessarily great, because it's still subject to the normal pitfalls of a NoSQL database.
Which is another reason blind recruiting would be useful.

Yes, ITAR also relates to plans, schematics, software, data, all sorts of things. If anything, the ITAR language itself is very vague.

But usually the science type or payload data is one thing, and then the lower level hardware telemetry is done in a different way.

I've used GovCloud to store ITAR data. It's cool. If you encrypt your ITAR data, you can also store it in a public cloud like S3, but just for storage, you shouldn't decrypt it there or have the keys there.

As a dude I'm exhausted too. As a boyfriend and a son of a mother, I'm accepting that I'll continue to be exhausted by it until it changes.

But, I'm not walking on eggshells. I'm having, and will continue to have debates with women, and more often than not, have my view expanded by the conversation.

Things are changing, pretty rapidly. I hope the continue to change. Current situation is untenable for men and women, which is probably a societal improvement over situation way untenable for women.

I'm also accepting that this is going to continue until men do a better job of policing men.
Not only do I agree with you (I'm also Italian LOL) but I wanted to add that, in my experience, what you said also applies to pretty much every other language. I've learned a few languages that way, mostly speaking with people on the street while travelling, and only occasionally reading language books or taking lessons.

PS (however I'm not saying that books or lessons are useless, their importance depends on the kind of language skills you want to acquire)
This is the tiebreaker format in fencing bouts. 3 3 minute rounds up to a max of 15 points (touches). If the final period ends tied, 1 minute sudden death overtime with a predetermined winner ("priority") by coin flip.

For what it's worth, it does work pretty well, but it helps that the tiebreaker doesn't require physical effort. A long set of PKs followed by an overtime would be a hell of a burden on goaltenders, especially the (would-be) loser.
The Spanish Prisoner (2005)
Any idea how to get it to work in Windows, particularly MS Word? There appears to be a bug: https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts/issues/1273

When you select Noto Sans in Word, you end up with Arial. If you change the font color you can get the correct letter shapes but the spacing is still set for Arial, which looks incredibly bad.
It recently popped up in a place I didn't expect. In checking out some of the deep learning work around neural style transfer, I found that many of the examples make reference the L-BFGS optimizer. Peeling a layer back, it appears that a commonly used implementation of L-BFGS is in scipy, which is a wrapper around a Fortran implementation.
For something quantitative: the most time on general-purpose HPC systems is likely to be taken by materials science software written in Fortran. There are numbers somewhere for Archer, the UK "tier 1" system, for instance.
A 501(c)(3) dedicated to open sharing of data is an odd vehicle for trying to competitively own data.

In the end, I did pretty well in Rome, engaging in simple, fractured semi-conversation in most of my encounters. Was that how the app was supposed to work?

Yeah, I'd say that if you were going to solely use Duolingo this is what a reasonable person would hope to achieve. Italian isn't foreign to you like it was when you started, but it's not going magically be familiar because you practiced on Duolingo every day. Honestly that sounds like a really good outcome for the investment so far, and what a big motivator to explore other avenues of gaining proficiency.
4 Easy Icebreakers for Distributed Teams
The problem with "renewable energy" is that so much of it is actually Biomass energy. 30% of Germany's renewable electricity comes from Biomass plants burning pelletized wood to the point that Biomass power generation accounts for 40% of all German forestry production. Biomass also accounts for 70% of all German renewable energy usage thanks to biodiesel and biogas usage, again almost all sourced from wood. (All sources per wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_Germany)

I guess the carbon cycle is relatively neutral as it's using existing environmental carbon plus some additional energy in the production and logistics process but it is unsustainable without turning every bit of harvestable forest into a monoculture of pine trees or fast growing deciduous with all the ecodiveristy of a Monsanto laced cornfield.

Ah. I couldn't tell if your approach towards non-autarky approaches was fear or disgust. Thanks for clarifying.

It is important to note that the unfairness you describe doesn't affect the positive (non-normative) observations of bias-preservation that the blind hiring approach persists.

Now, pivoting to moral claims along the lines of your comment:

Discrimination has a long history, of which slavery, carting to reservations, redlining,and so forth favored certain groups consistently above others, in the past and in the present. In my view, repairing at least the present entrenched bias by any name is in order, the question is to what level. Autarky is a feasible outcome, if desired, which is to do nothing. The diffusion of favored and privileged status will always feel like discrimination to the group that had favored status. There is still a moral imperative to at least correct current entrenched bias, which in the US can show up in incarceration rates, ability to invest, etc.etc.

Unless you feel these groups that are historically and currently biased against are somehow responsible for their own situations? If that is the case, autarky or favoring your personal situation has a basis to build on. However, I fail to see how various denigrated groups through time brought their current biased outcomes. You've been shown evidence by other commentators that in the US blacks receive longer sentences than whites. Is that just how it is, or do we have as a society a moral imperative to fix at least the current system, let alone offer historical reparations?

Congrats to the DynamoDB team for going beyond the traditional limits of NoSQL.

There is a new breed of databases that use consensus algorithms to enable global multi-region consistency. Google Spanner and FaunaDB where I work are part of this group. I didn’t catch anything about the implementation details of DynamoDB transactions in the article. If they are using a consensus approach, expect them to add multi-region consistency soon. If they are using a traditional active/active replication approach, they’ll be limited to regional replication.

This is actually somewhat common in epee competitions (i.e. I've seen it multiple times in national level tournaments), because they are high variance and defense is hugely advantaged. It's also a reasonable strategy because a tournament can run up to 9 rounds of single elimination, so committing to this strategy means you expend only 1 minute of effort per round, instead of 9.
A moral inconsistency is not a nitpick when it's the entire industry.

Their logic makes Google a better employer than Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and any other tech company currently operating in China. Saying they spurned Google because the company was considering going to China is disengenious, since the majority of the substitute employers are already in China.

> I think nuclear "waste" that's radioactive enough to be dangerous can be recycled to generate more electricity.

That was the whole point of this plant, to reprocess spend fuel so it could be used again.

None of the countries that tried nuclear reprocessing have made it work, and now that it is shut down, this plant needs a complicated, multi billion $ cleanup.

So no, the nuclear waste does not get recycled, and we should figure out how to deal with it.
I don't agree that it's the miracle drug you're indicating.

First off, the effectiveness in diagnosed add / ADHD people vs people just using it doesn't seem to be 1:1. For example, it gets me focused on relevant tasks, whereas my non ADHD friends could easily get sucked into the infamous "clean the entire house" funnel. Or, it just makes them anxious.

I also suspect it dramatically reduces my emotional reaction to things, including art. I feel like it robotocizes me. Sure, I'm more effective, but time seems to just slide by without having any real impact on me. The weeks I don't take it seem to automatically be more "colorful" in my long term memory.

It's certainly made my life a hell of a lot easier as someone with ADHD, but I wouldn't sing its praises as a side-effect-less drug. If anything, the side effects are insidious in a dangerous (emotionally) and undetectable way.

There are lots of systems. Obviously the easiest way is to just write some text to a file. There are some libraries that make logging easier and give you some extra facilities (like formatting the time every time you write to the file, etc). There are also some services that allow you to manage logs for a lot of systems. Google has a service called stackdriver. You send messages to stackdriver and then you can go to the stackdriver service to see all the logs for all your systems.

Logging is a big topic and there are as many ways to do it as there are programmers. Some people like to log a lot of stuff (for example, every time you enter and exit a function, some people will write an entry to the log! That way they can see how the program is running. Personally, I hate that :-) ). Some people like to write only error to the log.
> once async/await lands, I think I'll be much happier

The current futures proposal is on track for stabilization[1]. You can use futures with async/await today in nightly, and what you use will probably be exactly what lands in stable soon.

The biggest missing piece is documentation, but thats starting to improve. My go-to for examples is the futures test suite[2]. And if you want more features, futures-preview 0.3alpha adds a bunch of useful future combinators[3]. futures-preview now just wraps nightly's std::future, which is very nice.

Except for the missing documentation, rust's futures are looking great. You can have a play today if you feel keen to jump in. But, as you said it will take some time for the web development ecosystem to mature around the futures API.

2100 years ago, in Rome, on the floor of the Senate, someone asked:

"Cui Bono ?"

Maybe you should wonder about that in this context too. What, exactly would the monetary situation be of the people administering that treatment if it worked ? And what would it be if it failed.

And before you say I'm accusing those people of being bad people, I'm not. Not really. Because that's the way the rewards work the ones making the choice the government pays for will grow, and ones making the right decisions will shrink. Over time only one thing can happen.
Underwater data centers make a great deal of sense - close to customers (low latency), fast deployments (decision to power on in 90 days), and, of course, cooling efficiencies. I expect them to actually happen if Phase 2 goes well.

Then again, I'm a bit biased - I worked on both Phase 1 and 2.
> or maybe Rust if they figure out their HPC story.

Does rustc currently have the ability to implement the right optimizations? One of the big things that FORTRAN can do is prevent aliasing. Can you prevent aliasing in LLVM?
despite the name for the syntax, rust never really had a GC, just a slightly shorter syntax for reference-counted heap-allocated objects and a vague idea of 'probably it'll handle loops one day', until the language design solidified around an extremely minimal runtime and preferring standard library features over language features.

"it also holds onto a significant amount of kung fu tradition"

There is a huge political controversy in the kung fu world that this article doesn't address, which is the Chinese government's perceived hostility to the idea of letting its citizens train to really fight, for pretty obvious ideological reasons.

Essentially, the claim you will hear from some Chinese masters (often part of the diaspora) is that while the Communists discovered that the veneration of martial arts was too deeply engrained in the culture to eradicate, they could transform people's idea of martial arts itself into something more like dance or a gymnastic performance. They did this through the creation and control of various wushu institutions and the transformation of the Shaolin Temple into a training ground for a performance troupe (I said it's a controversial view).

In particular, according to this view, the ancient legends associated with the Shaolin temple allowed the government to create something totally new, that people would nonetheless perceive as part of an old "kung fu tradition."

There's only one really good, trustworthy book out there (that I know of) on the Shaolin temple. It's called The Shaolin Monastery, and it's by a professor of East Asian Studies named Meir Shahar. Definitely worth a read if you're interested in learning more.
