I did not detect any bashing in the video, except toward the whole Euro. On the contrary, I found he was trying very hard not to point fingers at anybody. Also, he asked many times the audience to challenge future panelists (ex. Steve Bannon) on their ideas, and he did so in a very respectful manner. English is not my first language, so I may have missed some things. Could you expand on what part you think he was bashing on Germany or being condescending ?

In reverse, I would argue, Hundreds of "Native UIs", most of them obsolete or dead, have shown to be incapable to express cross-platform, flexible layout capabilities of 1990s HTML/CSS combo.

The most recent, yearly updated mobile OSes appear to be cooler, however we'll see in 10 years how they will end up.

Oh, I certainly don’t think it’s a black & white situation. I was just taking the point of view of someone who needs to make a decision from a situation where it’s unbalanced. Actually, pretty much every product Facebook has launched had a well-known unbalanced impact: “get out the vote” efforts get more young people out and they vote more to the left; detailing right to vote drives a subset of potential voters (younger, recent citizens) which isn’t balanced either; same for informing about candidates’ Page, or their program. I suspect that getting a Hans-Rosling/Steven-Pinker-like effort to counter-act spurious arguments with actual statistics would also not be neutral. All are on principle laudable efforts; all don’t have a neutral impact on the vote.

I am able to name a right-wing rag because that one is in the press; in general, I stay away from the nastier stuff. As I mentioned in the first paragraph: I care about the smartest of the people who disagree with me and contextualised, nuanced, balanced information. Neither PragerU, the Daily Stormer or other come close to that.

This pessimism about whether software can effectively use CPU cores beyond two is easily refuted with a simple observation: High-end games are now running pretty close to 100% CPU utilization on octa-core console hardware.

Parallelizing our software is mostly a question of investment at this point. In my experience, there isn't a lot of software that wouldn't benefit from CPU parallelism in some way or another. The bigger issues are (a) that a lot of software simply doesn't prioritize performance, for both good and bad reasons, and (b) that a lot of foundational software has been in maintenance mode for years and there isn't enough interest or funding to improve it.
rich loan to poor to get richer. this is new to you? you think china is the first or the last to do this? IMF is doing this wherever they can. the west is annoyed china is doing this too so they push all these "amg china is evil" articles to stir the pot and try to turn the locals against chinese.

Your first thought has no explanation in it. Maybe they simply have a growing middle class and thus soon their economic activities in the west (that we gladly consume) would become hindered by their own growth, so they're looking for their equivalent of what China was to the west in the 90's and 00's and their own regions are not viable for that, just like manufacturing in rural USA didn't work for the west. If that's wrong, how can you live with yourself? Or is it wrong simply because this time it's China doing it? Isn't that hypocritical?

Using redshift for metrics, mostly OLAP.

Think about drilldown to 3 level, based on device, os, placement, country, ISP etc... along with click stats per variable.

I've never used elastic search for this.

Before that used bigquery but every query takes atleast 2 seconds.

So we had to move to a dedicated redshift cluster.
Issues like this are almost entirely solved with rust-esque enum pattern matching. The compiler with fail if you don’t have every match case handled. There is ‘_’ to abuse the system but doing so should be fairly obvious.

Nope; just personal observation.
> Your odds of being able to apply parallel-computing techniques to a problem are inversely proportional to the degree of irreducible semantic nonlocality in your input data.

That's not right. GPUs do pretty well at tasks that have poor locality compared to CPUs, as long as there's a lot of parallelism to be exploited -- see for example ray tracing.

The reason for this is that CPUs depend on their large caches, which are useless when there is little locality, while GPUs simply switch to another warp while data is being loaded from memory, and they have much higher memory bandwidth anyway.

Also, GPUs are distinctively not systolic arrays. Hennesy's "Computer Architecture: a quantitative approach" has a good primer on Single instruction Multiple Threads (SIMT) architectures typically seen in GPUs.

Yes, we used baremetal and digital ocean before that.

Why? Mostly because of cost and it seemed simple than building out stuff on cloud services.

Every Friday night, our services got ddosed by our competitors.

Provider would nullroute our IPs and our service goes down

We struggled with it a lot since we were not big enough to afford a premium ddos solution.

Once we realized that big cloud like aws, gcp do not suffer from this, we had to make a switch.

> you could still subdivide zillions of little tasks into their own applications.

This is the approach Rust+Rayon are taking. Rust is in a good position to enable this because of language-level guarantees. Using "a lot of little, single-purpose" tasks means that each task has to own its memory; Unix of course enforces this separation, but this comes with some overhead. Language-level discipline can achieve much the same thing, more efficiently.

They're very different from the format strings in Python, which takes format strings from the [C standard library](https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/chrono/strftime), which is different from (and older than) these Unicode format srrings. Same holds for other libc based languages like Perl or R.

JS does not have native datetime format strings AFAIK, and 3rd party libs such as moment.js often invent their own strings.

This reads like someone hired a consulting firm to send out surveys asking why people don't like Electron apps, without really understanding the problem.

None of the four bullet points actually address real issues. The security problem isn't that Google is bad at security (they're among the best really). The problem is that Javascript code is generally written with the expectation that it will run in a web browser's highly locked down security context. Performance is really the same issue: web apps are authored wastefully. For use cases where you visit a web page for a few minutes then leave that's fine, but when you then let that code run for hours with no sandbox you will inevitably hit perf issues.

Write native apps. If you can't afford that, just make a web page.
No program needs libc. Most could use it, though.

We did go that route as well in past but costs were insane, experienced talent hard to find and doesn't come cheap.

Cloud has talent working in the background on AWS's payroll, they've better ability too hire at scale than what we can do.

So decided to use them, no we don't regret. It's a more reliable cost then hiring and managing a team which might prove to be less reliable.

Classic regression's potential for intelligibility relies on the modeler choosing terms which are based on observed relations and improve performance. For example, population forecasts can be modeled as the current population plus forecasted changes through immigration, emigration, birth, and death.

Yes, somebody can produce "magical" regression models with terms divorced from reality. But unsupervised learning is never guaranteed to produce a reality-grounded model, no matter the user's skill. It goes through steps, tries different transformations, and chooses the algorithm which led to the best result. Logic and understanding played no part. That sounds like alchemy. It definitely works, but alchemy also stumbled onto theories later explained by chemistry.

And, yes, anyone who doesn't consider the implications of the linear model behind ANOVA would also be a "magician."
The U.S. had nothing to do with this. The gratuitous swipe serves no useful purpose.

Prolog does not, by default, remember conflicts and avoid them. Solvers do, most of them.

My problem is that I don't know when to expect nil from a call because in Java null is part of every type and you can happily receive a null from anything, the compiler won't give you a warning. In OCaml I know what to expect because Some x | None is super simple to reason about. I can never receive a null a nil or other things that somehow satisfy the type requirements. Clojure is great with untyped programming everything is an Object after all but I still would like to see a reasonable thing like Erlang's {:ok,x} | {:error, error} or OCaml's Some x | None. It is not an accident that many languages that like reliability implemented it like that.
