Your first paragraph is fine.

But your second says "process the situation and come around to it" as if they've already proven anything.

Nobody has ever seriously claimed that the machine can't calculate things. Proof of it doing a calculation doesn't change the status quo.
> And people realized the Linux I/O freeze is a variant of bufferbloat, and the very same ideas of the CoDel algorithm can be applied to the Linux I/O freeze problem.

There are myriad causes for poor interactivity on Linux systems under heavy disk IO. I've already described the two I personally observe the most often in another post here [1], and they have nothing at all in common with bufferbloat.

Linux doesn't need to do less buffering. It needs to be less willing to evict recently used buffers even under pressure, more willing to let processes OOM, and a bridging of the CPU and IO scheduling domains so arbitrary processes can't hog CPU resources via plain IO on what are effectively CPU-backed IO layers like dmcrypt.

But it gets complicated very quickly, there are reasons why this isn't fixed already.

One obvious problem is the asynchronous, transparent nature of the page cache. Behind the scenes pages are faulted in and out on demand as needed, this generates potentially large amounts of IO. If you need to charge the cost of this IO to processes for informing scheduling decisions, which process pays the bill? The process you're trying to fault in or the process that was responsible for the pressure behind the eviction you're undoing? How does this kind of complexity relate to bufferbloat?

The output of a pipeline to the US is an input into other US industry.

The article is interesting food for thought, but there’s a fundamental error. In the toy algorithmic problems, having the wrong big O solution is wrong because it doesn’t finish in a satisfactory amount of time. From this he seems to infer that anything that takes longer than another alternative is “wrong.” But the thing that made the toy solution wrong does not transfer to the other example problems! An editor dropping frames clearly isn’t sufficient to render it unusable for a significant slice of the target audience (proof by existence).
Sometimes “professional” just means “designed to handle a lot of abuse”.
I hear this a lot, and while I generally agree with it, I feel like it ignores the significant counterexamples. You can argue whether Elon Musk and Steve Jobs were good leaders, but I think it's difficult to argue they weren't able to accomplish something uniquely remarkable. In my experience, good leaders may not micromanage but the best leaders are able to, and often do, "get into the weeds" and are actually able to understand and act on the nitty-gritty details even better than the people doing those jobs.
The post has a fairly serious real world, war story example of where some calculus did something significant in business and the calculus was actually quite easy, no course in differential equations needed, and basically a routine exercise in first calculus. Students might like to see that; calculus teachers might like to show it to them. That is, just first calculus can already make some significant contact with the real world.

For the girl whose mother wants her daughter to go to Princeton, I mentioned some more in calculus that might be impressive for Princeton and make moot the student's A-.

Indeed, there was long Harvard's Math 55 where the three texts were Halmos, Finite Dimensional Vector Spaces, Rudin, Principles of Mathematical Analysis, and Spivak, Calculus on Manifolds. The course was something of a math boot camp and aimed at freshmen. There was an article on the course at

http://www.american.com/archive/2008/march-april-magazine-co...

maybe no longer available. For a high school student to have done well in that material might be impressive at Princeton. Linear algebra is perfectly accessible to high school students, basically easier than calculus, although the classic by Halmos may be regarded as better for a second course. The Rudin text I mentioned. And the third edition of that Rudin text contains the core of what is in the Spivak text.

If that girl and her mother want to pursue such things, then I'd recommend that the two of them chat with a good college math prof once each three months or so, maybe once a month. Working in a small group that also chats with a college math prof occasionally would also be good.

I also mentioned some introductions to stochastic optimal control that are accessible to high school students.

For the more advanced material, the students might regard that as a destination on the horizon.

I did the high school calculus teachers and their students and that mother and her daughter a favor, possibly valuable for them and not easy to find elsewhere.

Moreover, I know what I'm talking about: I studied calculus, advanced calculus, measure theory, and probability theory based on measure theory, and much more, hold a Ph.D. in pure and applied math from a world class research university, and have published peer-reviewed original research using advanced calculus, measure theory, and probability theory based on measure theory. My Ph.D. dissertation was in stochastic optimal control. Did I mention I know what I'm talking about? I did them a favor.

If you find this interesting, you should check out Donald Knuth’s latest “The Art of Computer Programming, 4A: Combinatorial Algorithms, Part 1”. It goes into a lot of depth about the theory behind all of this. You don’t need to have read the first three for 4A to make sense.
I've seen virtual CC numbers for one time use here in the USA but not sure if they're still available. It's still a hassle to setup, configure, use, etc, which is its fall down. Simplicity is PP's strength, IMO, which is why it's got staying power.
You also have people who completely truthfully make a killing, not tricks no dishonesty. The thing is if you have people betting not up and down on the same thing and betting big, then somebody has to win, and more often then not the winners will post their story, leading to a biased image of a group that wins more than it loses.

I wonder if they manage to build a practical device like this if some other problem will arise. I heard somewhere that there may just be an undiscovered law of information that forbids such a device from existing, kind of like how you can’t build a device to measure a particle’s momentum and position, due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

(I may have messed up some of the wording there so please forgive me. Although the sentiment still stands, and I would appreciate any responses from those who are better educated on the subjects)

Avoid crossfire.
It's important to note here that the current gate-based quantum processors also suffer from the connectivity problems. It's not just annealers suffering.

In those architectures, the limited connectivity enforces usage of SWAP gates, which increases the circuit depth.

Circuit depth, with imperfect qubits and gates, is currently the limiting factor - we don't have practical error-correction for the chips of today's size. Hence one can only perform a certain number of operations before his computation decoheres and becomes useless.
Such a blanket statement. Its about _where_ you build the roads. If you build big roads leading out of the city, then of course people move out and drive more. There are other choices.
> there are so many alternative and less fiddly ways to talk to others.

That's the main reason I never became a ham, there was a ton of interesting tech and a couple of very knowledgeable people around the place where I lived as a teen but the majority of them were engaged in hour long chat sessions with their buddies rather than to work on even more interesting tech.

So, now with the internet you can chat to people halfway around the globe without even knowing what EME or Heaviside layer means.
You absolutely can change the inputs, but the point I wanted to make is that unlike images where you can make a human-irrelevant changes you can't really do that with chess or go.

If you want to construct a particular position on the board, you'd likely need to use multiple steps, require the AI to play very particular moves and then the outcome would be a certain move from the AI. Even then, a simple incorrect classification doesn't help all that much, you need your opponent to make repeated mistakes.

I think in reality if you uncovered a type of move it wasn't expecting you are likely to uncover a new strategy in general rather than a trick. Image classification however lets you play uninterrupted with tiny pixel value changes, and you only need a single incorrect output to "win".

So basically it tells that it's much better financially to be an entrepreneur.

Is that a great, unique insight ? Is it even true compared to the other options ? Is this the hard part about being a successful entrepreneur ? does it fit the reader to become an entrepreneur ?

So maybe it has some nuggets of truth, but it's gives a lot of empty promises and it lacks depth.

Meh.
Right. War happens when you have a disagreement between two groups of people who care strongly enough about the issue that they're both willing to die in significant numbers to try to get their viewpoint to become reality.
The opposite of this would be shows like House, M.D., where the technicalities (i.e. the medical facts) are central to the plot, as opposed to being elaborate McGuffins.
If I only messed with .NET Core I think it would be fine. I already use JetBrains Rider in place of VS.

Is there a “non-proprietary” “no-code” solution for creating REST APIs?
Hi all,

For my web app projects, I've been creating REST apis in my AWS account. These apis run using AWS API gateway, lambda, cloudfront. Each API generally does the same thing:

1.) validate the input params
2.) simple logic (send email, read from database, etc.)
3.) response w/ data and caching rules

Lately, I've been thinking "there must be a better way" than writing all this code to do simple logic. I've looked into some of the no-code REST api creators, but they are always proprietary. For example: https://restdb.io/ lets you define your API using a UI, but then your backend is locked into their proprietary system. I'd like to use a UI to define the simple API, but then have the UI backed by actual code and infrastructure in my AWS account.

Does anything like this exist? Do you all agree that this would be useful? If so, maybe I'll take this on as a side-project.

Thanks!
Same. I changed to cygwin for my git workflow because WSL is just too slow.
It adds the ability to survive in an environment where all the perceived facts are against you, like a desert. Physics in theory might save you from a water-less desert, but you won't be able to access that as a useful solution in the stranded-survivor situation.
If you watch the GIF, the library parses Japanese addresses just fine.
Sounds like Austin, where the prevailing wisdom is to covert car lanes to bike lanes. Which causes nothing but problems because the couple people a day who use the lanes in no way compensates for the cascading problems as fewer cars can drive through an intersection during a light cycle, which means the cross streets start to pile up/etc.
And not that many technologies.
This is not a brand trial, this is a discussion about the name being or not intentional.
Here's a go setup https://github.com/gcp/leela-zero

There's current best weights available. Not alphazero, but I would expect that issues would be general and so if there are issues with leela zero they may transfer and if you don't see issues with leela zero they're unlikely to exist in alpha zero (at least, if they do they may be very particular to subtle training differences).

Would be very interested to see what you find if you get the chance.
To give another data point, for the software I'm developing (https://ossia.io/, a few hundred thousand LOC of modern C++ / Qt), a full build, with the same compiler version (clang-7), on the same machine, on the same pci-express NVMe disk takes 2 to 3 times slower on windows than on linux.

every time I have to build on windows I feel sad for all the developers forced to use this wretched environment.
NT is engineered for a different category of servers, though - it's a workgroup server first (originally its chief competitor was NetWare), and a Web/Internet server second. That drives a different set of priorities.

For example, as someone elsewhere in the comments pointed out, NT does file access in a way that works very well when accessing network shares. That's a pretty core use case for Windows on business workstations, where it's common for people to store all the most important files they work with on a network share, for easier collaboration with other team members.
I just wish there was something that had it all! But until that exists, performance is one of those things where you just need to be adequate. Very few people choose between applications based on performance, anyway (and it's usually too late to switch if performance becomes a concern).

This is true. Fedora now only has a Reboot and Update button in the GNOME Software GUI because some software like Firefox and some GNOME components crash if you update them while they're running (although this seems to happen more often with Wayland than Xorg for some reason). At least Linux and the BSDs give you a choice whether to do offline or online updates.
I'd prefer not to attract any attention from my postings to my employer, but it's a small shop, nothing noteworthy.

> why bitcoin? It's a slow cryptocurrency right?! Do you make users to wait for confirmation(about 30-40 mins)?

Those decisions are outside of my responsibilities, but we use bitpay to accept bitcoin payments so it all works in real time. I suppose bitcoin was selected because it's the most popular coin so it is most likely to service customer needs, but I believe bitpay allows you to accept a few cryptocurrency options.

> You could experiment with fast Altcoins and convert to Bitcoin eventually.

IMO, there's no reason to bother doing so since experience has demonstrated that nobody really uses cryptocurrency to buy typical retail goods.

Interesting. Did D-wave’s qubit quality get better?
I haven't used Allegorithmic's stuff recently, but my previous experience was that it's neigh unusable on a Mac laptop. Much worse than anything I've experienced in electron.

Substance Designer is a giant graph editor that should be perfect for multitouch trackpad pan/zoom gestures, but it doesn't support them. To zoom in and out you scroll up and down as if you're using a mouse wheel, but moving your fingers about 1mm will zip you instantly past where you were trying to get. And IIRC it expects a middle mouse button that you can drag to pan; on a laptop you get to two-finger-drag while holding down Option.

Electron, being based on a web browser, is probably easier to set up for various input types beyond keyboard and mouse.

EDIT: Here's an old video I recorded of the trackpad zoom. If you look very very very closely you might see my fingers move.

TLDR cross platform UIs still take work
This behaviour - and perhaps other causes with similar issues for desktop users, is what drove me away from helping to make Linux ‘ready for the desktop’. The kernel philosophy was incompatible with the needs of desktop users. Those developing for the desktop (like myself) didn’t have the required expertise to make the kernel do the Right a Thing, and couldn’t find enough people willing or able to help.

Things may have changed over the years - I’ve been running a Linux desktop recently and haven’t seen this kind of issue yet (the kind where you need to use magic keys to ask the kernel to kill all, sync and reboot) but reading your post, perhaps this is because RAM is much more plentiful these days.
Thank you for posting this. I was just joking at work a few days ago about how my job sounds like Geordi's babble. Open source X doesn't connect to Y because of Z? Well I'll just reroute to the auxiliary EPS grid and use the main deflector dish.

I can relate. Especially the pointless drama. I remember dreading yard work, especially having to pick weeds. It felt so pointless and arbitrary -- a real chore.

Years later I was listening to an interview on the radio with a famous naturalist or environmentalist or something. He said his parents wouldn't let him pick a weed if he couldn't identify it. Damn, I thought. That's brilliant. That's the kind of parents I wish I had.
I think a lot of it is that browsers are far superior in creating the design you want. You may have to work around things, but you don't have to learn completely new things that are only for your application.

If you learn to make great looking and functional websites then you can make that into electron. Add to the fact that many services want to have a desktop and web application, it just makes a lot more sense to design its core in Js in a browser environment

As for the obligatory "qt can do that" qt uses chromium to do browser related tasks. The alternative is webviews which are unreliable in any full sized application.
Christmas dinner this year was revealing in this regard. As my mom went to whip up a box of Hungry Jack mashed potatoes, I checked the box and found BHT. I didn’t recognize it, so I looked it up and found the “reasonably can be expected to be carcinogenic” line.

When I brought it up to my mom who was mixing it in a pot, my grandma, who survived cancer but is now immobilized from a spine fracture likely caused by her chemo, protested: “But I’ve been eating this for years and I’m still here.”

I think the irony was lost, but that’s the mindset that prevents her from taking interest. If it’s not going to kill me immediately, I don’t have to worry about the consequences down the line.

My mom replied: “He likes to know what he’s eating, Ma. He only eats real food now.” And she kept on stirring...

I kinda doubt anyone's going to really criticize this one.

I mean, the controversy about D-Wave (if I recall correctly) was largely related to claims about it having achieved [quantum advantage over classical computing methods](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_supremacy), along with misunderstandings about what kind of "quantum computer" it is.

However, it's generally accepted that D-Wave is a working computer that uses quantum models; that fact's uncontroversial.

In this paper, they reported using that uncontroversial ability to perform optimization problems to optimize some physics problems. And it worked basically as-expected.
An interesting comment from insider. We all knows from various benchmarks that Microsoft Windows' filesystem access performance was way too worse than Linux kernel not only WSL but also Win32 Subsystem too.

Also, process creating performance is worse on Windows. I wonder if it is also the case of "Death by thousand cuts"
