The Fedex driver is just following orders. As long as the box arrives that day and is more or less on my porch, it's fine.

Full disclosure: I'm a compiler person who for funding reasons moved into performance of machine learning systems.

None of those things should be called compilers. At best, they are scaffolding for peephole optimization. When you can get these crazy speedups just from bolting on an instruction selector, that's a real indicator that a lot of stuff is just waiting to be done.

For context, MKL-DNN embeds XBYAK, an optimizing JIT targeting SSE4.2, AVX2, and AVX512. It sees all the dimensions of the tensors, it knows the strides of the kernel, and so on and so forth. So for us to be able to beat it by such a margin just by stepping back and doing something simple at a higher level of abstraction kinda indicates that the approach it's using is running up against some conceptual limits. It's not that MKL-DNN's JIT isn't good -- it's great, and it's a credit to the engineers working on it. But the problem is that the smarts are being applied in the wrong place!
"Affordability" doesn't have the same meaning for housing and for stocks, so the phenomenon are not directly comparable, except in an a highly oversimplified worldview.

Stock purchases are elective, and can be readily scaled down and up based on a person's means. Stocks are highly liquid. They are as affordable as you have discretionary income to purchase them.

Housing is not elective for most people and it can't be scaled down or up anything like the degree to which stock ownership can be scaled. Moving is expensive and hard, as is selling and buying houses, and housing affordability is a function of its cost as a percentage of measures of local median incomes.

Part 2: The Future of Blockchain Technology and Decentralized Apps
From the perspective of a Windows user, GTK+ 3 does a less-good job of fitting in than Qt Widgets 5. Even with the win32 theme (GTK seems to use the Adwaita theme by default) GTK is missing shadows and the icon gutter in menus, and animations on push buttons and scrollbars. Qt Widgets 5 (with the Windows style, not the Fusion style) gets those right, and as a result, Qt apps look much more like native apps.
it's disappointing to realize that we still haven't caught up to fundamental biological systems yet, even though the research is 2+ decades old.

Given that we're the result of billions of years of natural selection, shouldn't we expect that?

Yes, which is further evidence for my "maybe suborbital tourism won't be super profitable" argument.
Yep, the Karman line is 100km. Only astronauts and X-15 pilots who flew above this heigh were deemed to have flown into space.

Virgin and Branson are very good at marketing and PR, so they probably chose the lower definition to say they had reached space.
I'd call it murder when a antebellum plantation owner killed a slave, even though that was lawful.
To clarify for anyone reading, the difference is not constant vs variable magnitude of g, it's constant vs variable direction of g. Gravity is a vector pointing at the (weighted by inverse of distance squared) centre of mass, so once you are operating on a global scale you have to account for the direction of g changing as you move around.

The force always pointing towards a single point is what causes an ellipse to form. If the force always pointed down it would be a parabola, and over short distances on the surface this is a really good approximation.

>"The city is selling its land (in quantity) and talent pool"

No the city is not selling land. Where in that article is it stated that Austin is selling Apple land? The city isn't "selling" it's talent pool. Companies will always gravitate towards where there's a steady supply of talent.

>If Bestbuy sells Microsoft 1000 laptops at a 30% discount"

Yeah your analogy is absurd, taxes are a "recurring" revenue stream for a city. It's not at all similar to a single retail transaction.

>"You just can't look at a discount and naively equate that"

It's not a "discount", there are no goods being sold. Future recurring revenue is being forfeited. And when there's a future budgetary short fall(and there alway is) it will be made up by the individual tax payer.
I'm in the same boat with browser-based vs electron apps (see my question [1]). I don't think PDF-based forms are an alternative to reactive web forms though, as they aren't dynamic enough. The sole purpose of PDF is page-oriented print, which html(+js) can't deliver.

Fair point; I get mixed up, since both organizations are pretty active and proposals are often submitted to both. Regardless, even in this case this proposal is being submitted to TC39[0]. It's in stage 3 of 4[1].

However, if the government would like to ramp up the level of military robot indignity, I guess we'll need some kind of ministry to track and catalog silly walks.
Infrastructure requires maintenance, and the tax base of a given piece of infrastructure is generally funded by the amount of property tax recovered in the area; this means that inappropriate developments aren't just misaligned investments; they're also a continuing stream of expenses for years to come which is ultimately borne by the rest of the community.

Now this isn't necessarily what will happen, but the relationship between communities and development is more involved than 'development = more resources for the community'.
I wish I came up with this. I've never been a fan of ecmascript, but this was certainly an exception and endless fun.

I am however working on a server-side version that is just a simple perl cgi that stores comments in a file named after the users IP address. That way any browser at their location will see their message. Maybe I will put it on github if I spend enough time to do it right.
>Why do you limit it to current R&D?

Because if all their current R&D is 100% worthless towards their future business (if any) then they aren't actually building any engineering fundamentals right now and might as well be starting from scratch when they need to pivot. It takes many, many years to build up to orbital flight, and everyone starts building that experience and capability at a smaller level. So it's very important if that "smaller level" actually is building towards the next step. Blue Origin for example has been doing a lot of suborbital work with New Shepard, but that is clearly directly building towards full orbital+reusable, they've been building their capabilities wrt vertical landing, scalable engine work, etc.

But if VG's hybrid engine and entire carry/plane concept is simply a fundamental dead end (because it will never have an acceptable mass fraction or hit orbital delta-v reqs or be able to handle orbital reentry say) then most/all of their current R&D is effectively being flushed down the drain. It's not building towards anything new. And that's ignoring whether it could possibly be competitive against what the others are doing.

>Build profitable “space” business.

But what business? Sounding rockets don't match this at all, point-to-point transport doesn't look like a real case for it either, and it also can't do space tourism, just joyrides. But it doesn't look like it'll even be able to do joyrides very well compared to competitors, nor more cheaply.

>scale it up

Some things don't scale up, particularly in rocketry. There is no escaping the rocket equation.

>trips into orbit, around moon

The problem is that from the looks of it not only is nothing they're doing capable of that, it will never be capable of that. I've done some more reading since my post and the hybrid engine concept really just looks like a dud. Their whole plane thing represents a huge amount of wasted mass and extra complexity too.

And again: there is competition here now. If this was all in the 80s/90s yeah it'd be more interesting, even if everyone concluded they'd need to start over from scratch to make a real orbital rocket perhaps there really would be a decade of joyride potential or odd niche uses or something to experiment with. But not against the likes of SpaceX or Blue Origin.

SEO or not, the disappointment comes from expecting one thing, and then getting another.

When I clicked on the title, I expected to learn about how to create a Linux GUI. This article did not, in any way, shape or form, teach me anything about how to create a Linux GUI.
It introduces a tool which solves a problem I'm not sure I'm having, related to packaging (why would I care, it's the distributor's job anyway, no one using Linux should ever have to download an installer manually, ever)

SEO is not about promisig something, making them click, and then giving people something completely different. It's about targeting the needs of a group that has a particular pain, and addressing them well.

Making classes (or equivalent) in the way you propose - ie "make use of closures for private instance fields" - does not work well. It requires allocating a new copy of each of the class's methods every time the class is instantisted, working around the prototype system.

If we're arguing about crappy misuse/abuse of JS and "doing it wrong", surely this is far worse?
Well, it's relevant. If Google delivers projects like Dragonfly that means it has no problems supporting practices like these.
You are presenting situations that are hard but not impossible to deal with.

If you can keep the stuff in RAM, you can also serialize it to disk and then restore it from there. The only thing you cannot do is reply to external inputs during that time (so keepalive connections may be a problem if your updates take too long), but that can also be dealt with.

We are very far from getting there though.

I'm extraordinarily confused as to how this was not an issue handled before Basis got to this point. It's not a secret that regulators would like to have purview over these types of assets, and that regulators have in fact successfully pursued those involved in other cryptocurrencies that turned out to be fraudulent. Of all the risks the Basis founders had to confront -- building a new technology, proving out a new algorithm, getting interest from others, etc. -- understanding at least the threat of regulation seems like among the simplest.

I would have to read up on the transfer times. If it's reasonably standard (2-3 days) and doesn't have any daily limits, then yes. It's a US company, FINRA approved, SIPC insured, so the risk is minimal.
Although TypeScript is intended to be a superset of JS, it isn't always. There have been occasions where JS features were not usable via TS due to existing incompatibles/differences in implementation of new JS syntax. Really it is a different language.
> I can say it involves a serious amount of of non-intuitive hand-coding and feels annoyingly hard and slow as compared to WinForms and WPF. It is most probably going to get easier and faster with experience

No, it won't get easier, because the technology is flawed. If you want easy you use HTML. There is a reason all new complex applications are written in Electron.
If I were to create 300 instances of something with actual func^H^H^H^H methods attached, rather than 3 instances, I would probably look into creating a prototype and coping with the perils of “this” usage, but otherwise, I’m not going to lose much sleep about it.

Schwab is excellent. Their "high-yield" (lol) investor checking/brokerage account is a good offering due to no minimums, unlimited foreign ATM fee rebates, unlimited checks, etc. Their customer support is amazing. Three rings and a human picks up the phone.

I run a clutch of Dells, on FB and they're moving to Debian for other reasons, where I get BBR. I would have fought harder to retain them on BSD if we'd had signs the network stack was getting the same amount of attention.

When VJ moved to coding against Linux instead of BSD, I think the writing was on the wall. When Grenvilles team in Melbourne disintegrated, and that source of TCP energy dissipated, the writing pushed the wall over. (I think they moved to netflix)
Implementing support is not the same thing as turning a feature on by default.

The TC39 process states that limited spec changes may still occur after a stage 3 proposal. Until a proposal reaches stage 4, it should be hidden behind a settings flag. This helps us prevent situations like flexbox, where users code against a specification and find out later that their code has broken in subtle ways.

> as well as implementations into trans pourers (eg Babel)

Which is meaningless. Babel is not a part of the standards process, they're free to ship anything they want. Encouraged, in fact, because that provides more in-the-wild usage data.

Somewhat related, I just found out that OSX ships with units version 1.0.

So if you want to try this you can `brew install gnu-units` and run gunits instead:

In Houston and Dallas about 1/3 of office parking spots sit empty at peak usage: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/articl...

I think the issue is that it only takes a single office building or big box store to overflow its parking for people to internalize the notion that parking is scarce and we need to require more of it. All the empty parking goes unnoticed because empty parking spots or parkings lots aren't, individually, a problem.
Stocks are not zero sum. In theory, their value is based on future income. Information about the future is what most affects stock prices, because it changes expectations around future income. Even with no transactions in a stock, offer price can continue to rise because of these expectations, and it represents real increase in wealth to people who own the stock, no transactions necessary. When offer price rises enough to tempt someone to sell then you have an estimate of the market value.
China agreed to stop using prisoners as forced organ donors many times before 2015. They didn't even say "we really mean it this time", so I'm not sure how much credibility you can take from their statement.

The big problem is that the provinces and local governments aren't really that great at following the central government's direction unless the latter is really serious (who can't focus their attention on some many things).
"They knew that if a similar accident occurred in China, the damage wouldn’t be limited to the explosion and nuclear fallout. Such an event would call into question the government’s competence.

I don't understand the throughput numbers given. 5.6GB/s for GCP and 9.6GB/s for AWS would be 44gbps and 76gbps respectively.

I don't don't know of any instances offering that kind of throughput.

I've personally validated GCP's statement that they offer 2gbps/core up to 16gbps. I can get 16gbps consistently between any two n1-standard-8 using iperf.

This generally makes network IO in GCP much cheaper.
