Oh interesting! I'll see what I can find there, thanks!

I also had a look in the blog and the "progressive web apps" might be the right thing to look at. There's probably something subtle that's different but I think I can use these to solve the actual problem I have.

edit - damn, I don't think this is right at all. Frustrating as it seems pretty perfect but I have to serve from my own domain for 30s before a user can install it :( I just want a single file way of delivering web content! It seems like all the features are basically there, just with restrictions to focus on different use cases.
Didn't know this, I was using an Alfred command instead. Thanks!
> Let's consider the alternative

Ah, I understand now, thank you.

I guess the problem that I have is with the preload. Without that, then neither Google nor the Mayo Clinic would get that data.

So, no preload for me.
> This place worse than most, tends to eschew in-jokes and memes as marks of belonging and membership, and rely instead on unexplained jargon.

The unexplained jargon isn't any worse here than anywhere else. Everything from motorcycling to woodworking to sewing has its own arcane terminology for simple concepts to ostracize the unlearned.

Yes, you too can get icy stares from a table full of middle-aged women at the sewing club for failing to be born with the knowledge that "the thing that does edges" is actually called a "serger."
That's not a crazy idea; there are plants which rely on the mobility birds for reproduction and spreading. Take peppers for example. The seed pods are attractive to birds due to their bright colors. The capsaicin that deters many insects and most mammals (except for us batshit-crazy humans who enjoy the sensation of chemical warfare upon our tongues for some reason) can't be tasted by birds. The seeds themselves are protected from the bird's digestive tract by a membrane. Digestion softens said membrane enough to allow for easy germination, and the ready-to-germinate seeds are then spread around the area by the bird passing the seeds while in flight. And so the pepper plants spread.
That's roughly like putting [OK] and [Cancel] into a dialog box that asks "Do you want to save this document?". Perfectly understandable but awkward, somewhat confusing to non-tech people--in a word, unfluent. Answering such questions in Chinese (and I imagine, in Welsh) requires the verb that was used in the question.
WSL does some interesting stuff, including some new code running in kernel mode (there's more here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/wsl/2016/06/08/wsl-system-c...). No idea about Triton. gVisor is a user-space process providing a restricted Linux interface on top of regular-old Linux via syscall interception provided by ptrace. They all certainly demonstrate decoupling the "personality" presented to app code from the original interface of the kernel.

I'm trying to say something a little different, which is that lots of things conventionally thought of as OS design issues are not inherently about syscalls and ring 0, and can be (and are) worked on in userspace. Like, you can have capability-based interaction between mutually untrusted bits of memory-safe code (the model of this OS) inside a Unix or Windows process, and you can do a lot of other exploration of how to organize/format/communicate in userland. The kernel interface provides necessary tools but it's not all there is.

Of course kernel-side improvement is still important; foundations matter. Just, thinking big does not only have to mean replacing or even tweaking the kernel.
> For example, compare the times you've tried to input something on a dodgy public touchscreen versus the times you've tried to input something on a public physical keypad—I'll bet there're way more failures on the first than on the second; certainly that's been my experience.

Well, anything with glass is prone to vandalism. A metal keyboard is hard to vandalize, a touchscreen needs only a piece of random rock or other debris to shatter.
> Surely the correct solution for mobile developers is to teach people to use restraint in piling on extra crud, not bootstrap some extra crud that prevents them from using any other crud.

Any time you have to rely on lots of disparate people, all potentially under wildly different pressures and facing diverse incentives, to make the same smart choices... you may be facing an uphill battle.

We've tried to rely on exactly what you call for. It's such an obviously, clearly, good idea. Painfully so. We've been trying it for quite a long time by now. It's difficult to call it a success.

Openness, flexibility, and interoperability are great and wonderous things. It's a tragedy, then, that so many use the tools and powers granted them by these virtues so apallingly poorly.

The most interesting part for me is actually that dictionary attacks are easy enough that you can use a Ruby script to get it done in a few seconds.

BAs are by definition more available than developers, as all developers are BAs but not vice versa.

And given basic supply and demand they are cheaper.

Anyway read your Ricardo, you're right but wrong about the implications. Your development is an even weaker link in the chain because good developers are even rarer than good BAs.
This is a lovely, readable summary of a relatively abstract mathematical result.
Bot Detection Through a Complex Proxy Network
I think the ethical damage an act like that would cause psychologically makes even that semi-rational action a bad one to take. Thinking it in the abstract is different from having to spend weeks locked away in isolation underground pondering the neighbors or just human lives that your actions ended - even accepting the fact that you didn't initiate the ICBM and that if you didn't live where you did there'd be no bunker to possibly save people... I'm pretty sure everyone would be coming out of the bunker severely damaged with survivor's guilt and constantly second guess if maybe it would've been okay to let one or two in...

Basically, in the abstract, and in pop culture according to video games and movies... your approach is the way to "win", but the human psyche is a fragile thing.

(I'd clarify, this isn't meant as any sort of criticism, I just think that considering these sorts of scenarios in a abstract sterile setting is very different from how you'd experience them as they happened - and that's interesting to me.)
Your claims disagree with the facts on the ground, where latency is the main factor affecting page load time. This is the driving force behind CDNs, HTTP2, QUIC, and pretty much every speed optimization that people have been working on in the past few years. https://www.afasterweb.com/2015/05/17/the-latency-effect/

Your claim that your page loads faster also reeks of wishful thinking. Pretty much every AMP page I have loaded from a SERP loads instantly, not just fast. For someone on a worse connection, the page will have started loading before the user clicks on the link from near caches versus have not started loading at all from a far server. In the rare case where the AMP JS is not in the browser cache, it will be after loading the first result.
But 100x is just a constant factor. What bearing does it have on the asymptotic complexity of the algorithm? (Or to put it differently: It may very well work in practice, but how does it work in theory?)
tl;dr - It has nothing to do with Satoshi’s Bitcoin.
To be fair: anyone buying a smartphone with literally never-seen-before technology for $2000 knows what they're up to.

> force them to retrain into another career field. They give you a short list to choose from. Most of the jobs are special operations and aircrew.

How can that possibly work? How can you force someone to retrain into special operations? How does anyone build the motivation and determination to pass the qualification courses for that when they don't even really want to be there? Why would special operations even want someone who wasn't remotely a volunteer?
I 've stopped using google because of AMP. Only google can sabotage google at this point, and I think this is how it will happen if they keep going this way.
I see you're getting frustrated with me because I'm not willing to accept that because it happened in the past, it will always happen in the future.

I just set my phone to 3G, where I'm getting a speed test of 15mbps about 1/10th what I get on 4G typically.

Everything seems to work the same way it did on 4G. Actually I'm surprised by that because I thought 4G had been a bigger improvement.
For reasonably complex documents PDF/A is a pretty good choice for long-term archival:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/A

That said, the comparison I was trying to make was the pre webapp web to the current web. We have AOL today, just not one big company running it. It will mostly be lost because it's not legal to save it.

The future will know us through scraped videos from Youtube before it was taken down suddenly and without warning in the mid 21st century due to corporate politics and/or the takeover of the government in DC by descendants of the house of Habsburg.
So I'm using the network more efficiently... how does that improve my life?
>when Evelyn shared a document about critique in art and how we could apply those techniques for CDG’s research. Up until then, I was thinking of the connection between art and research as something fuzzy and cultural, as if artists just happen to be good researchers due to some instinct for creativity, or that art gives us life and soul that helps to motivate interesting ideas.

I don't classify myself as an artist but the cited document is wonderful!

I also find it puzzling. Then again, as with cults or other bottom feeding fads and the increasingly ubiquitous, various and sundry addictive mires and dark patterns, to avoid the trouble in leaving, it is best not to enroll in the first place.

I don't care about the elites, I care about people who are not well known who get exposed due to this technology, or who's endangered because their stalker who happened on their nude stolen photos can now track them in real time.

I don't think you're appreciating what it would be like.

Sure, at first, the peacefulness of absolute sensory deprivation would probably feel pretty relaxing.

But then, it never ends. An eternity (or as long as your brain was kept alive) of nothing. You see nothing. You hear nothing. You feel, taste, and smell nothing.

If you're lucky, you'd start building a fake reality to imagine yourself in, like a dream. Over time, maybe you'd accept this reality as being real. People that lose a sense such as sight often gain an enhancement in another sense such as hearing. Maybe with the loss of all senses, the brain's imagination could gain more power.

Maybe it wouldn't be that bad, after all.
General purpose CRDTs have been available for at least 5+ years. We have such a system ( http://github.com/amark/gun ) that is running in production at the Internet Archive, and P2P versions of Reddit & YouTube that have ~2M users.

Dealing with this UX stuff is very important, and we have distributed systems correctness tests (https://github.com/gundb/panic-server) that does split brain simulation and recovery, and code to handle timestamp skew even if NTP is running.

If you pass this off to developers to be responsible for, they won't know the difference between mistakes in your system and mistakes in theirs. They shouldn't need to be a distributed systems expert to use the database.

I’ve been trying to solve this problem in the resource4j library for Java, which can cache rendered strings, but in the end it’s always a memory vs performance problem. I didn’t publish any artificial benchmarks, but in couple real projects (resource4j+thymeleaf) performance impact was usually negligible.
I we for a moment imagine that the translations were perfect, I might consider using it — or I mightn't. The competition is tough: I can get a load of contemporary ebooks for the kindle on Amazon, and the sweet thing about the kindle is that is has this “long-press for dictionary lookup” feature. However, this would soon become tedious if I was a total beginner in a language. In such a scenario your concept might be sweeter. But it rises and falls with the quality on the translation.
In fact it makes it just slightly worse, as deleting cookies potentially logs the user out of other services (some of which require Google).

UW C4C would likely get involved with such an agreement and pitch a fit, UW can be a vicious beast. They don't care about the community around them, beyond what will make UW $$$ or make UW seem more like an Ivy League. This recent dispute is illuminating: https://www.seattleweekly.com/news/workers-protest-uw-laundr...

Another thing I've seen go down was UWave.fm got a LP-FM license from the FCC, had a tower site and was lined up to set up a radio station at UW's Bothell campus, and the board decided to sit on the FCC approval till the very last day before the FCC needed hard dates on tower build and frequency use timelines, only to tell this student group that UW was canning the whole thing (despite it not costing UW a dime).
When it comes to global population growth there is no "they". At this point we are using resources too quickly. In a global economy/ecosystem it doesn't matter that population in Japan has leveled out, global population is still going up far too quickly.
The "other shareholders" category is frustrating, because I'm pretty sure it contains some pretty large shareholders (presumably just below the threshold to be listed individually). Google lists Ram Shriram, but the other 3 initial angel investors (Andy Bechtolsteim, David Cheriton, and Jeff Bezos) don't appear, even though Andy & David were the ones who convinced Larry & Sergey that it could be a giant company instead of just a doctoral thesis. Stanford also owned over $1B in Google shares at IPO, but that's not reflected in the graph. Facebook had 5 founders; Zuckerburg and Dustin Moskovitz appear, Eduardo Saverin was diluted out, but what about the other 2? None of Tesla's actual founders appear; they're all just lumped in as "other shareholders".
IMO, the primary issue is the seam will be right in the center of the screen, at the middle of your FOV. If you were only ever using the screen real-estate for multi-tasking, that would be one thing, but people want to watch videos and stuff.

ex-SRE here. Of course Google has outages, but it would be crazy to think that nearly any smaller outfit could manage the level of service $GOOG provides.
I haven't studied the Schönhage–Strassen algorithm closely so take this with a grain of salt. But I think I can give you at least a vague, simplified sense of how the FFT is relevant.

Multiplying polynomials is the same as convolving their coefficients, which is the same as multiplying the Fourier transforms of their coefficients (this is the convolution theorem), which can be done efficiently with the FFT. Now a base-10 number like 971 can be represented as the polynomial 9x^2 + 7x + 1 evaluated at x = 10. So multiplying base-10 numbers (or base-whatever for that matter) can sort of be seen as a special case of multiplying polynomials (plus a step afterward for carrying the digits), which can be done with the FFT.
Seems like trouble for the likes of H2o (Driverless AI) and DataRobot.

Good. This is what advertising agencies asked for and what they deserve. Implement a "click button to get money" system means of course people are going to try to beat that any way they can. I'm surprised any web advertising firm manages to stay afloat.
That, and other manufacturers are individually and collectively throwing more features at the wall than Apple ever would.

Whether they’re well thought out and will be supported on the next generation appears to be beside the point: they attract attention and serve as a differentiator.

I'm not a developer, but to be honest, thought that's how all non-trivial caching implementations worked -- instead of going directly to the back end or having each one trigger a read from the back end for a cache-miss, all of the threads that want that resource just waited on it to appear in the cache.

Privilege is absolutely a thing, not just a dog whistle.

If you're not convinced, try changing your frame of reference. Don't think of white males as being privileged. Trying to convince people of that is often a useless endeavour.

Instead, recognize the disadvantage PoC have. Most reasonable people will believe PoC have a harder time than white people. That's what white privilege is. It's not dealing with the additional hardships that PoC deal with. White privilege doesn't mean having the world being handed to you because you're white. It means not having the world taken away just because you're not white.

The nondisclosure has been the subject of several news reports, e.g.:

In January, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent out an urgent public alert about a deadly bacteria, resistant to virtually every known antibiotic, that sickened more than a dozen Americans who had elective surgery at Grand View Hospital in Tijuana, Mexico.

But when similar outbreaks take place at hospitals on American soil, the C.D.C. makes no such public announcement. That is because under its agreement with states, the C.D.C. is barred from publicly identifying hospitals that are battling to contain the spread of dangerous pathogens.

> Is drumming up more interest in bitcoin enough of a goal?

If you have many millions of dollars in bitcoin, or are a consortium that does, how do you remove any sizable chunk of that money without tanking the market? One way might be to get people interested, and wanting to buy bitcoins, which allows bitcoins to be liquidated easier without affecting the market.

Does this accomplish that, and how large does the amount of money that needs to be moved need to be before wasting one million worth of it to manipulate the market with no guaranteed payout becomes worth it? I have no idea. It's a fun story though, and ultimately, that's what bitcoin is best at. Providing interesting stories.
