Nope and nope. That's definitely the scary / unknown part!

> If you have a lot of spare developer time and people skilled in this, it will likely work well for a while (potentially a really long while).

We don't have a lot of spare developer time and people. However, the Elastic docs make our fairly straightforward use case - dump lots of events in and filter them by date and about 4 different properties - seem not too daunting.

The way it's sold on the Elastic site these days seems like a very "batteries included" kind of approach - am I interpreting their marketing a little too positively? Are we kidding ourselves? Would love to hear more about your thoughts!

> Structuring data is another really important consideration - will you need to normalize and will you need to update labels/dimensions? That’s just the start.

We don't expect much.

Thanks for mentioning the other technologies, too! The way we're structuring it allows us to either use Elastic, SQL, or something else entirely, so thankfully we're fairly agnostic on the data store. If Elastic turns out to be a time sink, we'll have no hesitation trying something else out.
Even if it's just extra salty it's still a local problem. You can't just dump it all in the ocean because it would still kill everything. You'd need to dump it out slowly or over a much wider area for the concentration not to be harmful. It's like a polluted river killing everything where it dumps out even if the amount of pollution is inconsequential overall.
> Deep learning enthusiasts probably will stick to NVIDIA cards

We've been building the wrong hardware for ML for a while now.

A TPU doesn't delivery supremacy for problems over GPU hardware. It's a Google senior engineering retention and PR project.

Exceedingly few problems resemble image recognition. You wouldn't be able to tell from the research, because due to the tools it's sort of the only affordable thing to do.

Playing Go barely looks like it. Or more accurately, Go doesn't look like most other games. Molecular physics and synthesis barely looks like it. Neural programs/neural Turing machines that matter (converting complex sim code like game rules and physics into neural networks via learning) may never achieve the accuracy or performance/watt necessary to really compete with just making a bunch of CPUs or straight up dedicated hardware.

Word embeddings are a disaster. People keep trying to do innovative stuff with it, and it's 2018 and we've just just recently got entity names from Wikipedia. I think Peter Norvig, having basically only machine translation to point to, is really going to eat crow when non-perceptual AI tasks sort of have nothing to do with stuff Google has developed. But what do I know.

I'm sure someone's going to trot out some obscure TPU or GPU-driven thing. It's been years! Awesome innovations in hardware really do lead to obvious, immediate crazy cool stuff. I'm really talking about the Kinect as an example here, in that it was really hyped and not much came of it. The TPU, and ML-specified hardware targeted to today's problems, is a slower-motion Kinect of our time.

Mining cryptocurrency, the most recent innovation, is the opposite of cool.

I'm confident these tools exist to capitalize on the subsidy from the gaming industry. AMD is wise to not chase ML features.
I may be wrong but I guess that we don't have any words in portuguese that ends with in or din.

Prosperity comes from eliminating jobs, not saving them.

Short-term shocks from increased unemployment and income inequality, is a real problem that can and should be addressed. By having more generous unemployment benefits and a more progressive tax system. Foregoing these fixes and instead saving jobs that can be effectively automated, is nothing more than an awful waste of human talent.

Of course we can: "1/2*pi"

Using the same limitations you seem to have in mind, we can't get one third exactly either.

Yes, and that is surprising because we do have numerous clever applications that skirt around most of the intractability of exotic real numbers. That is why I think this paper is a bid deal, especially because it points to the cardinality of the real numbers instead of, say, their inclusion of the uncomputable numbers.

The best version of Windows 10 is not available to buy for most users
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC, is for anyone who uses Windows to get work done, or is more technically minded, going to be the most useful version of Windows 10 that exists, and provide the best experience.

Heres how one commenter describes it...

"A version of windows 10 that is completely free of bloatware (no Microsoft store, no preinstalled apps like candy crush, no tiles on start menu, no Cortana, only windows search, no edge, only Internet explorer). It only gets security updates instead of feature updates, and has support for 10 years. Best version of windows 10 IMO. FYI it was originally called LTSB (Long term servicing branch) and was renamed to LTSC (Long term servicing channel).
"

For a lot of Windows users this is the dream version of Windows, but that comment was taken from R/Piracy... Individual users cannot buy it no matter how much they want it, its only available via an enterprise volume license.

So someone at MS knows what a utile and uninvasive version of Windows looks like, they've even made it and sell it, just not to the majority of users.

> The ideal grilled cheese is made with American cheese, mass-produced white bread, and lots of butter.

No, it's not. I don't know what he ideal grilled cheese is, but you can get many, much better, grilled cheeses by not using the first two of those items. Lots of butter is spot on, though.
> Also banking the unbanked. There are a couple billion people without access to traditional banking. Most these people now have mobile phones, where instead of signing up at a bank, they could download an app where these people can store their value traditionally for the first time.

If you live a society where access to a bank is rare or difficult, chances are that you also live in a society where mobile phones are not as common, education levels are lower, understanding of what a cryptocurrency is and how to use it is lacking. Getting to use a cryptocurrency for people in the developed world can be difficult, in less developed countries even more so. And if somehow you managed to get yourself set up and understand how to use your wallet, it's still empty. And if it wasn't, there wouldn't be enough businesses around that accept the currency. And if there were, the value of what you hold would fluctuate constantly, making actual use close to impossible. It's just a big "no" on every level.

Cryptocurrencies are a toy for people in rich societies, not a banking solution for the developing ones.
Tangential to the main topic, but relevant to some of your remarks about English grammar.

Have you ever read Politics and the English Language by George Orwell?

Since covering it in High School, it's been my go to for all writing. Writing the way he describes will have everyone understand you. It doesn't need to be more complex than that. It might be argued that it's superior in most cases. (Sadly we never covered this in our general English classes. We only covered it in Creative Writing)

Here are his six rules for writing, and a link to the essay for anyone interested:

(i) Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

(ii) Never use a long word where a short one will do.

(iii) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

(iv) Never use the passive where you can use the active.

(v) Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

(vi) Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

Edited to add my favourite example of what the essay is largely about:

Now that I have made this catalogue of swindles and perversions, let me give another example of the kind of writing that they lead to. This time it must of its nature be an imaginary one. I am going to translate a passage of good English into modern English of the worst sort. Here is a well-known verse from Ecclesiastes:

"""I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth"""

Here it is in modern English:

"""Objective consideration of contemporary phenomena compels the conclusion that success or failure in competitive activities exhibits no tendency to be commensurate with innate capacity, but that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably be taken into account."""
What sort of documents do you look at? Lots of actual reports are in the "basically default" template; I googled for "us annual car deaths", and followed the first "institutional" result found, clicking around to find an actual, recent*, report. The first I found was in "basically default" style: https://www.iihs.org/frontend/iihs/documents/masterfiledocs....

Next, I googled "russian pension reform pdf", and in the top three hits there were two reports with various levels of depressing Word defaults, and one that I'll give be benefit of the doubt and say was actually a conversion from a web page.

I'd say this is a fairly typical look for any report that isn't super official or actually a magazine trying to sell something.

These problems are all tractable using traditional computer vision methods. There's a sizable body of published academic research from the past couple of decades that addresses tackling these and other computer vision problems in the specific applied context of video analysis of soccer games. Considering the amount of knowledge out there I'm kind of surprised that any clubs at the premier league level are still in a position where they aren't able to extract useful information from their library of game footage. With so much money at stake I figured that even if clubs weren't developing their own analytics tools in-house there would be no shortage of third party tools out there by now.

>I have people inside a Premier League club just waiting for me to be able to throw OpenCV at an archive of video

How extensive is the footage in their archives? i.e. is it just what winds up in the broadcasts, do they keep every second of footage of every game taken by every camera in the stadium, or is it something in-between?
> compared to JSON with its anemic type support

Am I the only one who wants to keep serialization as far from my type system as possible? I want to have my internal data model for my software, and when I want to serialize it, I should be able to do it in any number of different ways (redacting values, using HATEOAS links for REST routes, using a lossless format for storage) depending on the situation.

Protobuf couples data modeling and data serialization into a single inseparable concern, and it becomes difficult to do anything else once you start using it.
Less so than you might think. I met my share of characters, sure, but most of the time when I wasn't synthing I was either driving through the middle of nowhere or waiting around. I read a lot of books in a lot of motel rooms and taught myself Attic Greek and programming to pass the time. My first language was Perl via the o'reily book and I used to write out the solution code on a legal pad.

It was after I made the amount of money I wanted that things got weird haha

How easy is it to get a BSD working on a laptop these days?

Once you get past UEFI, installing Linux on a laptop isn't particularly difficult. The challenge is that drivers for wifi, audio, webcam, etc, will be very hit or miss depending on the hardware. My impression is that finding reliable drivers for BSD is even more difficult.

Are there laptops that are well supported by BSD (not including including MacOS)? Thinkpads maybe?

I had nostalgia for grilled cheese made with individually wrapped slices of cheese from my childhood. We never buy that stuff, but one year for my birthday I told my wife I wanted to have grilled cheese with those kraft slices again. I quickly discovered that my palate has changed in the intervening decades ;-) The kids didn't like it either, fortunately. We threw out what was left of the package.
Although on HN it looks like there's some kind of competition happening, Rust is a rounding error compared to languages like Java, C# or even Swift which are actually chosen instead of C++ for many projects.

I'm looking at job ads periodically and Rust is almost not at all present. I've talked to someone from the Rust community and they told me that "many" companies are using Rust, but not advertising it and not hiring for it on public channels.

Whatever the reason, the Rust skills market seems to be non-existent, which is a bad position to be in when considering whether to start a project in Rust. Project = commercial product that makes money, not OSS or start-up dreams.

Hi John! Congrats on everything with Ghost. Is it possible to run Ghost locally and push a build out which is then deployed to S3, essentially removing the "hosting" aspect of things outside of S3?

Do you have any resources you can point to that explains like I'm 5 where Ghost ends and Gatsby starts? Most of my dev life lately has been CraftCMS and Laravel but I'm convinced that some variety of serverless is where everything is headed.

Thanks in advance!

>nobody is going to say "but we've used Intel for a decade, how can we suddenly switch to AMD?!".

Maybe not those exact words, but people will say "We are adding a server to our VMWare ESXi cluster, so if want it to be compatible with our existing hardware we better stick with Intel."

VMWare's high availability feature (a highly desired feature for any data center) won't work across different CPU architectures, so unless you are replacing your entire stack and not just adding server(s) then you have to stick with the architecture you already have in place.

I don't think it's purposefully so... "Di" sounds more like "Ji" (with a short i) in most accents
It's not a claim I'm making, because it's an irrational comparison. My son knew the alphabet by the time he was three years old. Did it give him a 6000 word vocabulary? No. Standalone Roman letters are meaningless, unlike Chinese characters.

And there are other tradeoffs. Chinese writing is much more compact and easier to read, relative to alphabetic writing. A layer of translation has been removed.

I'm not convinced that learning to write Chinese with a "literate" vocabulary is substantially harder than achieving equivalent literacy in a language with alphabetic writing. It might look easier to you if you've never learned both. But proof is in the pudding - China's literacy rate is on par with Western literacy rates, for similar educational effort.
Those things don't provide location information. On top of that, getting location info with the accuracy needed in cases like this is extremely hard.

> Eating meat is natural, it's been for cosmic ages, and to an extent I have no issue with that.

That's true, but I think a similar argument can be made that any situation where the more powerful control the less powerful is natural, e.g. slavery, patriarchy, etc.

That said, I think the first step for everyone is to realize the cognitive dissonance that modern society tries to keep in place when it comes to eating meat (i.e. meat is just a nice, tasty hunk of protein that comes wrapped in plastic and styrofoam from the grocery storeand is in no way related to that adorable cow video I saw on Instagram). If that were more common I think many people would try to at least consume animal products more humanely as you have suggested.

All this reminds me of someone I worked with who said she liked Kondo's advice and took it to throw out anything she hadn't worn in six months. Which seemed like a wasteful way of thinking.

Cardelli's Modula-3, a C++ alternative, also illustrates excellent balance of simplicity, programming in large, compile time, and run time. Expanding on that carefully like with macros, a borrow checker, and LLVM integration would have made for a simpler, safer, systems language.
