ATM cell size and phone data packet size relationship? Lots of people still think "more smaller is better" e.g. considering pMTU problems in IPv6, sending shorter non-fragmented IP packets is way better than sending long ones causing end-to-end congestion (no intermediate frag in V6)
Even simplifying after every operation, in the typical case exact rationals grow exponentially in the number of terms in the computation. This means that either:
(a) you cannot use them for any non-trivial computation.
(b) you have to round them, in which case they are strictly worse than floating-point numbers because they have redundant representations and a very non-uniform distribution.

I drove a Model 3 AWD to a snowy and icy area this vacation and have to say the traction control is phenomenal. I mean really astounding. I was able to climb steep hills that the car had NO right to climb, with summer tires, that locals (presumably with 4WD or AWD and snow tires, though I can't be sure, but these are people who live in snow covered mountains) were giving up on and backing out of. The trick was going very slow... in the steepest parts, as slow as a fraction of walking speed. Which admittedly won't always work if an aggressive driver relying on momentum is charging up behind you, but I was watching my back. Yeah, I may have just gotten lucky. But I think with snow tires the car would have been a beast on the same hill.

Later on a wide, empty, mostly flat road covered with ice I attempted many times to break traction and induce a slide, and the vehicle maintained control at all times. Again, summer tires. I am an experienced snow/ice driver having grown up in a snowy, mountainous area. The car is seriously impressive in winter conditions. It's no coincidence that Tesla's largest sales numbers per capita are in Norway.

None of this comment was about autopilot, but I believe autopilot can leverage the same traction control and couple it with autopilot features so I wouldn't be surprised if this video is not just a fluke... time will tell.

I think Boston showed that building luxury housing didn't lead to gentrification growth but instead concentrated it to the new housing. Granted it is one data point essentially but it makes some sense - that would take up higher end demand although some gentrification resulted from "all they could afford" and then growing successful.
Is that a typo? While I don't doubt that Alexa sends some amount of data to the internet, I find it hard to believe that it uses 114 mbps per device, maybe you meant 14 mbps?
Almost certainly.

They also pushed their voice assistant on Android almost as hard as Apple pushed Siri. Integrating it into default home screens, keyboards, etc.
Maybe 9,900 of those employees are hired to step in anytime Alexa doesn't know how to interpret a voice command.
I don't think you can just add the Sahmsa data, as they may be separate questions. I looked for, and couldn't find the original report.

https://nationalhomeless.org/about-homelessness/ lists housing and poverty as the major factors contributing the homelessness, and under other contributing factors says that, "Approximately 16% of the single adult homeless population suffers from some form of severe and persistent mental illness"

I could go through and argue these step by step, but I think my larger point is that homelessness is an economic issue. Drug addiction rates haven't increased over time (see https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/10/chart-s... ) It's harder to talk about mental health rates, since so many mental health issues are untreated and increased mental health treatment can be mistaken for new rates, but I've seen nothing suggesting that rates have increased dramatically since the 1970s. Homelessness however, increased dramatically. So I don't think you can place addiction or mental illness as the main contributor.

Getting to your statement on housing first initiatives, even if homelessness was 100% addiction and mental illness related, a stable location allows better continuity of care, provision of treatment, followups etc. Certainly sticking someone in a house isn't enough, but it can be a meaningful start, even if the person suffers from addiction or mental illness. It also reduces street victimization, infectious disease spread, hypothermia, etc.

Also, I'd note that homelessness is not just a single person issue. Many families become homeless, the National Center on Family Homelessness estimates 1 in 30 children are homeless (https://www.air.org/center/national-center-family-homelessne...). Housing first helps kids and families. Incidentally domestic violence is one of the biggest causes of women and families being homeless :-(.

I believe treating homelessness as merely as mental health/addiction/public health issue and not an economic consequence to reductions in affordable housing, housing assistance, and lower real wages for low income workers misses the point.

We've probably strayed a bit far from talking about stadiums, so I'll leave it be.
It's a failure of collaboration. For most single file libraries it would be better to have them bundled into a larger networking library that covers enough functionality to make adding and managing the dependency worthwhile.

Thanks to the fiscal sponsorship arrangement I mentioned with the Freedom of the Press Foundation, you already can: https://freedom.press/crowdfunding/signal/

That money will, minus whatever portion the Freedom of the Press Foundation keeps to cover its overhead, be spent on Signal. And donations for Signal to this foundation are tax-deductible to the extent 501(c)(3) charitable donations usually are.

I have no connection with any of the people, projects, or organizations we've been discussing. But I am the president of another fiscal sponsor 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the free/open source software space, so I'm very familiar with this model.

The_Colonel, could handwritten notes fit into Trilium? It's technically possible, with PointerEvents to get pressure, but I'm wondering about whether it would fit with your goals for the project.

I'm guessing it would need to be another type of note, separate from the CKEditor ones, or maybe some kind of drawing area plugin making space within a rich text note.

It's comically bad in the Bay Area with so many local transit agencies jockeying for power. It's a miracle they were able to get a unified payment system built-out.

Something that I hate about NYC is taking a taxi from Newark to NYC. Newark taxis can't pick up in NYC, so they have to drive back to Jersey.

That can certainly be an issue, yes. It's not one I personally have come across yet as I tend to have quite distinct 'domains' that don't change much.

At work, I'm a contractor and I typically spend 1-3 years on a project. Each gets its own system, nice and simple.

My home system has 10-19 capturing all of my 'personal, daily life' which leaves plenty of areas for my personal projects. For instance, 50-59 is Johnny.Decimal itself.

So far I've implemented JD:

- Managing a 2 year contemporary dance production, multiple locations, staff, ticketing, marketing, etc.

- Consolidating 200+ data centres in to 7; I did basically all of the hardware from procurement to having a green light on a NIC.

- Running an infrastructure upgrade project for a major bank.

- Running 2nd level desktop support for an international packaging company.

- My personal life, including managing the limited company that I contract through.

I plan on anonymising and documenting as many of these cases as I can on the site. I just need to find the time.
A home should not be considered as much of an investment as it commonly is. A home is a physical good you buy because you need a place to live, and generally the economics work out so that it's long term cheaper to buy a place than to rent it. Ideally home prices should be low for the reason you want any other physical good to have low prices: so you can spend your money on other things.

But, a home is generally the most expensive thing people own. For a lot of people (most?), it probably makes up the majority of their net worth. So in general the incentives are for policy to be passed to pump up home values because people want to make money without having to work. Basically, we have perverse incentives regarding housing prices due to the fact that they are expensive things.
I cannot help but think that an iPhone XR mini would have been a great seller if it hit the $450 range. I just don't understand Apple these days, its like they have reverted to the early 90's where they kept jacking the price until even the loyal customers had to exit the ship. I had so believed they would repeat the iPod strategy and start at the top end and slowly squeeze the market by introducing models that filled in the lower price bands.

A geographic breakdown of attitudes to home purchase would have made the survey more useful. Arguably, the economics of purchasing a home in NYC/SF are somewhat dubious. However, investing in a home outside of those areas and more particularly in areas, such as Texas or parts of the midwest, where housing is still affordable and the economy predicted to grow further, might be a good decision.
No way Alexa has anywhere near as many customers as Nvidia. Not only does Nvidia ride the Cryptocurrency wave, they are also the leading manufacturer of PC GPUs, and their processors are found in literally billions of devices, like game consoles and smartphones.

i tried searching for the "Lucy ecosystem" in relation to C# and .Net but was not able to find any references to it. I'm guessing is an acronym for a stack, could you further clarify?
I would go as far as to say that a language with more traditional syntax (for instance Python style) with pervasive immutable data structures would do very well. Few of the benefits Clojure brings to day to day development seem to require a lisp syntax.
I wish somebody would write a good comparative review of all the note-taking, information organization and outlining apps... I'm in constant search of the one that would actually suit my preferences. Perhaps this is the one (but chances are it's not). Let's take a look...

Edit: The same people developing facial recognition for the DoD is developing eavesdropping devices for Americans to install in their homes. Why, after the Snowden revelations, would any rational person think the big-brother doesn't have a direct line into your home? Listening to your every word, to your childrens words, to their opinions in formation.. Seems willingly selfish to not only hand over your privacy, but everyone you invite into your life.

Add up all your monthly debt service obligations (credit cards, student loans, car payment, etc - use the minimum payment). This is your current debt obligation.

Your pretax monthly income is $5833. 36% of that is $2100. The maximum a lender will loan you will result in a monthly payment of ($2100 - your current debt obligation).

For example, if you have $1k/mo in debt service, you have $1100 margin left in your debt-to-income ratio for a mortgage. At 4%, that's a maximum mortgage amount of roughly $145k.

If you have all $2100 to allocate to the mortgage, that allows a mortgage in the $300k range, varying with property tax and insurance rates.

https://www.bankrate.com/calculators/mortgages/new-house-cal... is a handy tool for figuring out how much mortgage you can afford. https://usmortgagecalculator.org/ is another good resource.
if its technically possible to do it without you knowing then all that is left is how much you trust Amazon with that. Note that Amazon may have to surrender its devices access to three letters agencies for random reasons as well. You have to live with that assumption.
Clojure compiles to Java bytecode so it's use as an embedded script engine will be limited to programs written in Java, or else you'll have a huge overhead with having to run a JVM next to your application.

It's a shame, too, because Scheme/Lisp has proven itself to be a very worthwhile scripting language in its own right.

Wow, not bad! I'm looking forward to the writeup.

I'm still thinking about this one. It seems that ~.5 cycles/byte is slower than it should be. There's 6 pext->kmovq->vpaddb chains, where the pexts and kmovqs are all independent and can be pipelined. One chain should be 3+2+1 cycles, so all 6 should be 11 cycles. Agner Fog's site doesn't have information for vpermb yet, but a Stack Overflow comment says it's 1 cycle (which is rather surprising, that's 64 64->1 8 bit muxes--lots of silicon!). The latency on most other instructions can be hidden.

I updated my code with a couple minor optimizations, that at least lead to some nicer assembly output:

Getting rid of the if (mask) branch--it should almost never be false in real code (and never is in the microbenchmarks).

Inverting the mask during the comparison:

uint64_t mask = _mm512_cmpneq_epi8_mask(input, spaces)
& _mm512_cmpneq_epi8_mask(input, NL)
& _mm512_cmpneq_epi8_mask(input, CR);

...then the mask computation gets a lot cleaner, since there's now just three chained vpcmps (though this might lose a couple cycles or so because of the dependent 3 cycle latencies. Not sure how to trick gcc into using parallel vcmps with the ands on GPRs...). But we also save the mask = ~mask and the subtraction from 64 of the popcount.

All in all, speed-of-light for this code should be 3*3+2+11+1=23 cycles per iteration (if I'm counting everything properly), and probably even faster from pipelining between iterations. I hope it should be a bit faster than the 32ish that the old version was using.
+1 for mentioning Armed Bear Common Lisp. I usually use SBCL but ABCL is great when you need Java interop (I use it with DL4J).

I have used Clojure when requested by customers (about 18 months total) since its inception: I donated to Rich when he asked for community support because I liked the Common Lisp to Java bridge he wrote many years ago.

Clojure is a good language that has a uniform API for anything that is a sequence and I (usually) like working with immutable data.

That said, I enjoy CL and Scheme more.
GoL wasn't used here because of any value or analogy... it's used as an example of how a simple set of rules can generate complex behavior. GoL can display complex behavior, but it would be a stretch to to say that the rules governing it are complex. If you think GoL is too simplistic, you are agreeing with the original comment.
I don't understand why people are so confused on this.

> This is good practice but certainly not a requirement. You can pass objects in a serialized format like JSON or use Protobuf etc.

> ETS and Mnesia aren't production ready job queues, unfortunately: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9828608

I didn't mention ETS or Mnesia? The OP was talking specifically about using job queues to get concurrency/parallelism, in which case you absolutely don't need job queues. If you need a job queue, you need a job queue.

> Background tasks have different requirements so this is a good idea regardless.

Why? You're just stating this like it's obviously true, and honestly I can't think of a time I significantly wanted a different system doing my jobs than the one handling requests.

> Redis queues have millisecond latency and there's no polling. Resque and Sidekiq use the BRPOP to wait for jobs. BRPOP is O(1), so it doesn't slow down as the queue backs up.

Redis queues have millisecond latency, Ruby using Redis queues does not. That's the part that polls when there's nothing else going on. If you're never running out of jobs to do then your latency is fast, but you're also not accomplishing things as fast as possible(since it's waiting on whatever is in front of it).

If this isn't true anymore, then alright, but last I used Sidekiq(early 2018), the latency to start processing a job was often greater than a second.

> Threads - GIL allows parallel IO anyway and JRuby has no GIL

And are incredibly difficult to use and pass information back and forth(hence why Elixir exists at all- Jose Valim was the person implementing this on the Rails core team).

> Pub/Sub - Both Redis and PG have a great basic implementation usable from the Ruby clients

Can certainly work, to be honest I never tried this because of the complexity of initial setup and how green I was when I needed it.

> Websockets - Respond early and notify directly from the background jobs

Which Ruby has a lot of trouble maintaining performantly. When my original team went to use Rails5 sockets, we found we could barely support 50 sockets per machine.

---

It's worth saying, I'm not saying one shouldn't use Ruby- the place I work right now is a primarily Ruby shop, and my Elixir work is for event processing and systems needing microsecond response times. But, we've also built things in Elixir that normally I would use Ruby or JS for, and not only does it do well, but often it's write it and forget it, with deployment being literally "run a container and set the address in connected apps".
