A single view should not get too large. The system will not show more than 60000 cells in one view. You will get an error message. The cube itself can grow very large: 10-100 million filled cells. The trick is to design the dimensions so, that only a small portion of the data is visible at once. You can group large dimensions by a column to build a hierarchy (category/model/sku or region/point of sale). This way only a portion of the data is shown at once.
This is exactly what they want you to conclude.

You can have a Kubernetes cluster for about $15/mo for your personal project on GKE, if you can cope with several f1-micro or a single g1-small instance hosting your workloads. That's the cost of the nodes, and that's the all-in price. Prices scale up linearly for greater capacity, just add more nodes. (Then of course I guess networking, traffic, and additional storage can also add to the costs...)

If you are comfortable with Kubernetes, you should not be priced out of the market, even for hobbyist projects; the ecosystem is too valuable. I keep saying that Amazon really does not want their customers to use Kubernetes, and it shows in their market offerings. Only Amazon charges this premium for managed clusters, and they don't even seem to recommend using it in the keynote talks I've heard mentioning EKS. "Unless you know you need Kubernetes" is a great way to stop the discussion about adopting new tech.

If you are not already comfortable with Kubernetes, then the primary obstacle to your using K8S is that. The cluster pricing issue is a problem for people who are hyper-focused on Amazon, only.
That's interesting. Links please?

For large institutions this is completely backwards. Tuition is negligible part of the income - much more comes from grants that are granted mainly to STEM faculty, and that money (through "overhead" payments into a common pot) is then used to subsidize the humanities (and the more theoretical STEM fields which are also fairly cheap).

To be clear, I am not against this: I do want the money granted to my STEM department to be used to subsidize the humanities, because they have their importance as well. However, it is not true that the humanities students "get the short end of the stick" when it comes to subsidizing.

This blogpost is a huge undertaking, but it is incomplete without a discussion of official "Tetris Company" Guidelines, the Bag system, and the SRS Rotation System.

For details on the official Tetris specifications, see fan wikis such as:

* http://tetris.wikia.com/wiki/Tetris_Guideline
* https://harddrop.com/wiki/Tetris_Guideline

The official Guidelines set consistent colors on the pieces, various mechanics and details about where and how pieces rotate, as well as "bonus points" for TSpins, TSpin Mini, Neo TSpins, B2B rules, and more.

Not all Tetris games follow the guidelines (Tetris Grand Master is the most popular non-guideline game). But the vast majority of official Tetris games follow the guidelines.

Creator of eeeeeeeeeee repository has shut it down
Potato, potato. If your array doesn't kick out a drive that stalls for 30 seconds, much less 20 minutes, why not?
I just want you to know I love this idea. I'd thought of something similar, but never executed. Kudos to you, good luck!
Two ways:

1) edit a file using the web interface, creating a PR in the process (assuming you don’t have write privs to the repo)
2) fork the repo to your own user account but use a shorter name for your fork, clone your copy and make a PR the usual way

Both of these work - you just can’t clone the original e98e repo directly.

Pointing this out... I've gotten a bit of basics working with vultr + terraform but it's not the most straightforward. I'm not the author, but an interested observer.

In my searches for vultr + terraform, your project never came up, but there seems to be some overlap or room for collaboration.

It's trending because we believe in the fear; monetary systems aren't rational and prices seem to be entirely made up rather than reflecting the actual value or cost of a thing.
Also:

Firefox 64 introduces an entirely new API, browser.menus.overrideContext, which allows complete customization of the context menu shown within add-on content like sidebars, popups, etc.

This is illustrated right in the post by my favorite pain point, the Tree Stye Tab custom tab menu mixing with the regular tab menu.

Finally!
I don't disagree that it'd be better to simplify the tax code but the idea that one dollar spend yields seven dollars return doesn't actually work as you're describing.

(this paragraph will assume funding for the IRS is done as a flat tax which is how $43 was arrived at)

Most people might pay $50 per year to fund the agency while a lot of people are paying nothing. Increasing the budget to reduce evasion will lower how much most people pay closer to that theoretical $43 while also increasing revenue overall. Right now it isn't a problem of the common person getting extorted by the government, the issue is that some people are not paying their fair share and increasing funding to the IRS will catch and punish those people while increasing the funding for the government overall.

I am with you on wanting a saner tax system but that isn't really in scope here. Some people are cheating the tax system and it isn't expensive to find and rectify the situation, it isn't even cheap. Tax law enforcement is so lax right now that lowering tax enforcement _costs money_ raising tax enforcement _yields money_ (for a while, there are eventually diminishing returns)

So long as the IRS is taking in more money than it is spending to do so there is absolutely no rational reason not to make sure it can maximize that.
just reading the title makes me happy!

Most Ivy League schools are "need-blind" for admission and have great financial aid. You do not need to pay to join the club if you can not afford it.

On the other hand, if your family is wealthy, you probably went to a great high school which does correlate with getting into an Ivy.

Oh, how I yearn for that day to come.
No, unfortunately, open-sourcing it has been on my to-do list for an embarrassingly long time.

But, building one is easier than it sounds! Think of the problem in two parts. First, find a distro used by multiple providers (we're on CentOS) and craft one script that uses each provider's API to spin up a clean machine.

Once you have that done, it's a matter of understanding your own build process, writing a script that you'll pass into each instance on creation that will fetch your source control, install libraries, and put all the pieces together.

Lots of if/else, lots of curl, lots of yum, lots of jq, but all of it is really straightforward.

One of many things, yes. Also, see any news story circa 2013 and the Edward Snowden leaks. In more recent and relevant histoy, the border security program is fairly well established to have been rolled out half-baked with the intention of making it a semi-legal limbo for all involved.

So the idea that they are playing loose with the rules on purpose based on recommendations from the top seems warranted.

that's called cowardice and is used as justification all the time, but that doesn't make it right or even rational. in fact, there is no reason to believe the economy won't be stronger through the failure of corporations and holding directors and exectives accountable.

proponents of the banking bailout used this same rationale, that allowing big banks to fail would lead to economic collapse, but that was only the rationale, not the reason for that course of action. bernanke, paulson & geithner were instead worried about blowback to their careers and economic futures, because it would be their friends in high places taking the hit.

if some large banks had failed, most certainly other economic actors would have swooped in to pick up the pieces and resume business. these were lucrative, real assets after all. the danger was not in economic collapse, but in how long the rebound would take, and more pointedly, the effect on bernanke and friends' careers.

we retard progress and innovation if we don't hold institutions accountable and allow them to fail. bankruptcy is the mechanism we use to allow instutions (and people) to bounce back quickly from failure, so they can use their learnings to try another tactic.
He did refuse the force, indeed. But he was in a state of deer caught in the headlights, rather then acting consciously. He was a good man, but we give him too much credit for things he hasn't done.

Some context is needed. The goal of Your Money or Your Life was to get more people familiar with financial independence, the idea being once you have saved enough to "retire" early, you can pick the projects you work on and the people you work with. So in that case, yes, you do optimize for resources.

Burrito should be the top-level "Calzone" category, because fusion burritos are such a big thing. See: sushiritto
It's a nice thought and everything, but the matter has been settled already. There are four foods: substance, soup, pizza, and sandwich. Substance is one food, like a steak. Soup is multiple foods, like a steak with ketchup on it. Pizza is monobreadular, sandwich is polybreadular; therefore tacos and burritos are pizzas.

Well, they are sort of accessible- 2001 is particularly cryptic and slow paced, but it's still a high budget science fiction movie with spaceships and talking computers. While most people won't ever think of enduring the screening of a Bela Tarr movie.
Yes, the Sandforce controller in Vertex 2 was a real unstable beast. I lost maybe three or four Vertex 2 drives. All under warranty, except the last one which suddenly vanished and was not detected anymore.

OCZ does not exist anymore. Not sure of if this was one of the causes, but I would otherwise never buy a drive from them again.
How much should go to military spending?
Agreed that from a data perspective, it would be fascinating to see how an investment regime shift would change these benchmark indicators, which should also be useful to startups.

They might, if $8 out of the $7 brought in by that unit were cannibalized from other units.

Yes, TrueOS is really refreshing experience, IMO Ubuntu became windows XP with release 8.10, when I just switched away and never looked back. One thing I wish TrueOS did better was desktop integration, they decided to develop their own DE - Lumia, IMO they would do much better with Plasma5 integration.
At the moment I don't. It's a beta test. The commercial version will support two factor authentication. I think a local installation on the client's server/workstation would be the best option for very sensitive data.

I, personally, am sick of being lied to. Single source reportage violates journalism 101; they really should suffer some consequences, just as someone should pay for the 2008 bubble, the Iraq war (Bill Kristol ... finally losing one of his platforms) and any number of other examples of the managerial class' screw ups from the last 20 years.

Another answer is modularity of design, like Falcon Heavy. Though granted it is much harder for a spaceplane concept and may as well be an ultimate feature creep.

I don’t know if it will, but I agree with the author of [1] that it should. Python should aim to be faster in its next iteration, as it is increasingly being used for long running computational tasks like science experiments. I would go further and argue for direct integration of numpy into the language to achieve faster performance.

I don’t have any inside track knowledge on plans for Py4.

EDIT: see PEP 523

I get why this was down-voted to the bottom, but I COMPLETELY agree with this person.

InVision seems to me to be a company without a vision. I think their tools are only useful for prototyping things that are so simplistic that they don't require a prototype. I know art directors that like it for sharing visual designs with clients. I despise it for prototyping complicated applications. The workflow is disjointed, confusing, and under-powered.
This comment is so wrong it's not even wrong.

The IRS is in charge of taxes. They have nothing to do with campaign finance laws. That's the Federal Election Commission's job.
I setup my (decade) old laptop as a server running on FreeBSD. And the elaborate documentation is a real lifesaver, especially as someone who is new to the ecosystem. Even, for the obscure hardware specific setup (yea, looking at you sony vaio), I could find relevant information on their forum which interestingly had relevant information from ages ago.

Really great job guys and thank you! Can't wait to upgrade!

Take a look at the target market for Quantrix Modeler (Lotus Improv's spiritual successor).

It sounds like your product is in the same space (multidimensional modeling) and the market is likely an overlapping one. I looked at Quantrix Modeler some time ago as an Excel replacement for complex multiparty reporting, and was impressed by it.

Also, Gartner considers these class of products to be in the CPM space. Take a look at this for the products you'd be in competition with [1]. These are more tailored toward financial and business reporting, but the underlying foundation for all of them are similar: they all use multidimensional modeling engines.

Interesting! Your vinyl analogy is helpful in a few ways. For one, training the memristive networks wouldn't be parallelizable in the same ways that training state of the art digital networks's can be. Right now, you can't just instantly spin up thousands of instances of some memristive hardware without a lot of physical infrastructure. Of course if we start seeing programmable circuits with vast num ers of programmable memristors, maybe this will change.

Also: I would have assumed (naively) that the memristive networks could be "faster", but now I'm realizing that this is going to be a function of how quickly the memristors transition. There are likely to be some complex timing issues in building analog neural networks that behave in remotely predictable ways. I could imagine that errors might compound in much stranger (more chaotic) ways than they would in digital networks, where "error" is pretty tame.

I imagine that the "real-time", asynchronous, and chaotic nature of analog neural networks could be seen, by the right person, in the right light, probably in the future, as a feature (not a bug). But I realize now that we're decades away from that.

My hunch is that the early practical research will be done on FPGAs with inboard memristors.

> Millennials turn out to vote at the lowest rate of any age group

Probably not any more, since the subsequent generation can now vote and is fully within, while leading edge Millenials are out of, the 18-29 age group that has consistently been the lowest turnout age group. People are so used to conflating “Millenial” and “young adult”...
OpenBSD is more conservative and security-minded, so I'd say network edge. Interestingly though, its laptop hardware support has historically been better.
Sure, that's why I called it a language design issue.
Library users want generic and convenient interfaces (which arguably, boost does very well), there is just no way with modern C++ to keep the nice interfaces and at the same time put a significant amount of logic in a source file.

It is not surprising that boost choose convenience over tradition and fast compile speeds.

I'm against taxes for the simple fact they're non-voluntary. I don't think there's anything wrong with people that that are willing to pay them, but I don't think forcefully [meaning, eventually you will be arrested by someone with a gun] taking another person's money is justifiable by any society.

Are you saying that TLC SSDs are essentially unreliable and it is a miracle we don't see higher failure rates?

Regarding your point regarding languages: I would be interested and motivated, but I probably don't have the skill (probably, only did some x86 ASM/C++) nor the location (Europe). Usually someone doesn't just start with C++ but with a managed language, and once someone lands a job becomes demotivated or just doesn't have enough time.
I feel like most of the strife caused at work is different value judgements on things. So I've been trying to tease out truths vs value judgements.

1 + 1 will always equal 2, no one debates that. AWS offers both Postgres and MySQL, no one debates that. But which one is better, that will be informed by possibly irrational value judgements ("Postgres bit me once, never again!")

I think people are irrational in terms of their inability to admit where their biases are ("Postgres bad") vs things that are largely factual ("we can choose between these vendors").
