When I took this class many, many moons ago, the close equivalent of the "cache lab" was graded not on the number of cache misses but on the cache hit ratio. When I pointed the problem with this metric out to a TA he blew me off. So I turned in the original code plus a loop that read the same volatile value a few billion times. It took a long time for the cache simulator to grade, but they dutifully gave me a very high grade (something like 200%) on the lab :-)
Even so... Setting traps and then trying to blame others for falling into them? Does that sound like the behavior of a trustworthy and admirable person?

>getting the solid linear-algebra background

Oh! What an omission I made.

A solid linear algebra background is a must for absolutely everything.

There's nothing one can do without it. Not Calculus in several variables, not geometry, not group theory, etc.

I sort of assumed that people with diff. eq. under their belt know linear algebra well, but it's often not the case.

I can strongly recommend the following two texts for the subject:

-Sheldon Axler: Linear Algebra Done Right

-Serge Treil: Linear Algebra Done Wrong
Space is pretty big
The latency numbers due to the laws of physics through space are lower than the latency numbers due to the laws of physics through fiber when talking about reasonable distances (e.g. new york to london stock exchanges).

Light travels faster in space than fiber. SpaceX's satellites (unlike existing constellations) are low enough that that benefit makes up for the small of extra distance.
> And it is then a proxy for their worth as a human being

No, in this case it is just being used as a proxy for whether or not you’d want them at a party. Plenty of people are decent humans who aren’t any fun at parties.

Notch seems like an insufferable bastard; even if he weren’t spouting white supremacist dogwhistle catchphrases (whether due to staggering naiveté or covert maliciousness, who knows or cares) I would eject him from any event over which I had authority just due to the fact that his other, less controversial opinions are annoying. He’s a whiny billionaire; can you think of that many things worse than that?

Freedom of association is a thing, and nobody’s saying that tactless antisocial negative nancies (all things in which I myself have dabbled) have no worth as human beings, simply that other people have every right to not invite them around polite company.

Maybe they just don’t want the headache, and who could blame them?
> My single biggest issue with these meat alternatives is I cannot understand why it's costing so much more than actual meat.

I'd imagine it's because of the economies of scale; once production ramps up to sufficiently-high volume, the prices should in theory go down. Availability in fast food should hopefully help with that.

Subsidies are another aspect to this, though I don't know offhand how heavily cattle ranching is subsidized v., say, corn or soy.
folks, the latency of other space-based internet services is because you're talking to satellites out at geosynchronous orbit. starlink is low orbit, and depending on the route your packets need to take, might be lower-latency than ground-based links.
Somethings become very complicated in constraint based systems and they are often much slower in my experience than more special purpose layout systems. That said i'm not against constraint systems either, they just both have their place.
So many latency questions. Do a basic search: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink_(satellite_constellat...

That is simply not true. Please take your conspiracy theories elsewhere.

Apache maintains clones of all our GitHub org's repositories. GitHub has no leverage over our repositories. We have a fallback mechanism for contributors to push to our server, if they deny GitHub T&Cs.

Apache has the support of GitHub and Microsoft, from the CEOs of both, and through the organizations.

That's definitely true for solutions in geostationary orbit where the signal needs to traverse 36000km twice between two ground stations, adding about 0.2 seconds delay for the request and again for the response.

SpaceX is planning a constellation in low earth orbit, that is supposed to route the traffic around the globe and down to a ground station near the point where the server is. That's saving the delay from having to go through an optically dense medium (fiber, speed of light is there about 200000km/s) and taking advantage of the much higher speed of light in vacuum.
Can you be sure it wasn’t a badly implemented form of obsfucatiom?

It certainly slowed down the reverse engineers. If they didn’t get to the object code what would the next step have been? Cryptographic analysis?

From what I've heard, trimming a large jet engine plane by hand is physically difficult, even if you manage to disable the MCAS system. Additionally, I believe the core issue is that pilots were meant to fly these plans without additional retraining, which is why MCAS was added in the first place.
Normally I have no issues getting things to work but I bounced off trying to get modern Jenkins to build a github gradle project three times now. I even used to have one, way back, that built maven projects from SVN and deployed into artifactory but I can't seem to manage the same now. I thought it was me but maybe jenkins just became really awful in the meantime.
Let us see how the public markets will tolerate the founder buying $60 million dollar private jets and starting a school just for wealthy kids.
Not a complete solution, but I’ll throw in some tips:

1. Don’t show anyone. For me, this saps my interest by providing premature reward for my hard work. Keep it secret except from people helping you directly on the heavy lifting.

2. Will is a muscle. Strengthen it by doing other things religiously. For example, brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand. Go to the gym 3 times per week. Etc.

3. Read “War of Art” by Steven Pressfield. This book will teach you how to use resistance instead of succumb to it.

Truth
I am glad that the politicians finally want to do something about it.

The capital also unnecessarily pulls all of the country's resources into that one city causing even worse wealth inequality and poverty.
SpaceX's satellites are going to be in low-earth orbit, on the order of hundreds of miles -- you're thinking of traditional satellite internet which is typically in geosynchronous orbit 25,000 miles away. Depending on the number of hops, latency for these new constellations should be in the low milliseconds.

Since they're flying so low, they'll need thousands of satellites to provide wide coverage (instead of one super high satellite that can see half the earth at the same time), but they should be quite high performing.
Who is it you think lack of regulation works out for then?
> In addition, knowing human nature and our propensity for conspiracy theories, there will be people in the future who think all those signs were put there to dissuade people from finding a massive buried treasure. After all, the phrasing is pretty much what you would expect if someone had buried a treasure and wanted to scare people from digging for it.

I have to agree with this. What if in 1955 America we had discovered the equivalent of these warnings, and hints of a huge artificially constructed underground tunnel complex in the same location as Yucca Mountain, and we thought it was buried artifacts from some more technologically advanced precursor or alien civilization?

Dozens of billions of dollars would have been made available to excavate the site, damn the cost and damn the consequences.
Looking at latencies here [1], it’s not that bad. LEO orbit is under 1500 kilometers, adds a bit of lag, but may be compensated by a better route on the other end.

Most IPOs don't have a chance in hell of being Apple, so I'm OK with a partially flawed approach to investing.

Also, Apple's problem periods all occurred when they were publicly traded, so there wasn't the same disconnect there will be between WeWork's private $47b valuation vs. the value the market puts on the publicly traded chunk of equities.

We've already seen this with Snap, Lyft and Pinterest. WeWork's losses dwarf them both at this stage and unlike them, only WeWork has billions of dollars in long-term lease liabilities.
Please tell me you're joking.

These satellites are 100km up, moving at 8km/s. You're not going to be able to run a cable from them to your house.
At this point what stopping those people from going the full DIY path and building their own insulin pump ? In those days of 3D printers and cheap electronics this seems like it should be achievable (I'm probably in full Dunning-Kruger mode here please forgive me). Or even gut one modern commercial unit to get the fluid part but replace the electronics with something more automation-friendly.
I work at WeWork and I love it. The value comes from being able to network and have a place to meet and socialize while contracting. I don't really value WeWork for the space, but for the people. I find coworking spaces like WeWork to be quite an amazing place to socialize. As you age, it becomes more difficult to make friends and when working at 1 company, you usually surround yourself with the same people.

At WeWork you get to meet people from many different backgrounds and companies. I met a friend who owns an insurance company (on a Microsoft stack.), another that owns a tech company for efficient travel to work (on a React stack), a group of people who have monthly subscription box companies (Shopify + CMS) and then an individual who owns an investment firm (various advice on how startups are doing in the city.)

Each individual brings something to the table and I've learned a lot from them. We hang out on weekends and drink beer together. Socializing is critical for human happiness. That's the value add for WeWork for contractors in my opinion, the space is secondary.

There are competitors, I've tried a few, but I found the WeWork space to be more professional. It costs more, but you get more in my opinion (in terms of space.) The other coworking spaces are kind of ugly, or they don't have constant events like WeWork. I'm sure this point varies heavily depending on the city. I'm sure monthly rate helps with keeping the space fresh.

I am unsure about the valuation here, but I would consider WeWork and coworking spaces the best thing to ever happen to my social life. I went from a rather introverted person to being quite extroverted and growing emotionally. This had many other factors, but WeWork contributed.
Most satellite internet deployments are in geostationary orbit (at 35,786km above the earth), which puts ground-to-satellite latency in the hundreds of milliseconds. Starlink will operate at just 550km, puting the theoretical latency at just 1.8ms. Even if the latency is 30x the theoretical, that's still in line with the latency of copper-cable deployment.
you can write python plugins and modules to extend functionality, there is no need to just start running commands everywhere.
This is why I ask in my original comment that I replied if the industrial farms do something different to make the cows get pregnant faster, if yes I want to inform myself (so if you know what terms to search about, procedure names etc but don't make me search something that does not exist).

About animals having feelings, I know very well, just that when nature says is time to get pregnant the cow is just an animal in heat(it is dangerous even and you must be careful around them)
They aren't always slow when really active! I was lucky enough to see some solid activity, and while it was mostly slow motion, it's sometimes quite quick!
The ITU as well. Part of their proposal involves reuse of spectrum currently allocated to geostationary satellites, and the mechanism for noninterference is physical separation: while they may transmit on the same color as a GEO-sat, they won't be simultaneously visible from a normal antenna for GEO use as they will point in a different direction. The GEO-sats (and their spectrum allocation) is confined to the ecliptic, while these LEO-sats will be transmitting from any direction except overlapping the ecliptic.
Yupp relevant bit from there:

Internet traffic via a geostationary satellite has a minimum theoretical round-trip latency of at least 477 ms (between user and ground gateway), but in practice, current satellites have latencies of 600 ms or more. Starlink satellites would orbit at 1⁄30 to 1⁄105 of the height of geostationary orbits, and thus offer more practical Earth-to-sat latencies of around 25 to 35 ms, comparable to existing cable and fiber networks[51] (although transmitting a signal halfway around the globe takes at least 67 ms at the speed of light).
The satellites are in Low Earth orbit, not in geostationary orbit, thus signals have to travel at most 2,000 km, possibly only 400 km.

Each country more or less is responsible for regulating itself. The International Telegraph Union sometimes comes into play for spectrum issues, but I think most of their influence is in GEO since they handle slotting there.
I think that the idea may be that guilds had a social/religious obligation to provide for the poor and generally be a positive force in the community. In addition, guilds were localized enough that social forces could keep them accountable to the community.

On the other hand, America has adopted the belief that large corporations are only obligated to maximize profit for their shareholders and they are too large and decentralized for social forces to effectively hold them accountable.
What I've seen around this last days, and seems that is not an easy feature to implement, is providing Python the posibility of live debugging (Something that, for instance, PHP has long ago acquired with xDebug).
Im not saying one is better than the other, I'm not going into the discussion "print is better than live" (Which I don't agree with, BTW).
I just find it amusing that a language as mature as Python does not have this.
And we save money by relying on GitHub's excellent tools, rather than wasting it, trying to recreate or stand up a similar platform. The communities wanted closer integration with GitHub (what they knew/used elsewhere), so we made it happen.

The Verge article claims 15ms latency, which honestly is really good, even if that's in addition to what you'd get if you were using a traditional internet connection.
The QR Codes were likely removed because they were cumbersome. I'm not convinced Nintendo was involved.

There's a Megaman clone for the DSi version which requires you to scan more than 100 (!) QR codes. That's not fun, and even as an edge case, it's not an experience you want anyone to have with your product. Better to push them to the central server.
To expand on this further, current "satellite internet" offerings are through the use of geostationary satellites 22,236 mi above the equator. The latency to the satellite and back to earth, plus whatever the latency is to get to wherever you are actually trying to go, is significant.

In contrast, the offering that SpaceX has just gotten approval for would use satellites that are about 342 mi above, and the network of satellites would be used to route the connection to a hop close to the destination.

The result of the above is latencies that are actually lower than even a direct fiber connection if the haul is long enough, because connections across Starlink would be at the speed of light (minus the amount of time it takes to process packets at each hop), and the speed at which data is transferred over fiber is some fraction of the speed of light.
I spent quite a while grappling with Jenkins pipelines, and while it definitely has its warts, once you get over the hump and get one pipeline the way you want it, it's quite easy to use it as a starter for other projects.

Personally I go to great lengths to minimise the plugin dependencies and push the logic into bash scripts or Maven/Gradle. The Jenkinsfile just calls the bash scripts, so I can run it before I change it. Where I use plugins in the pipeline I document what they are and what they do in case we ever need to go from scratch.

It is hard to test but the linter picks up quite a lot of errors before push, and if you're doing a multi-branch pipeline you can just test your changes by pushing to your own branch. It's a long cycle, but the variation should go down the more you have them.

It has also been indispensable as an ad-hoc task scheduler. For example, I have a job that cleans up old branch artifacts every Saturday night. It was easy to alert on failures and see the results and history of past runs. I don't know anything else that would have fit the bill.

When you make software over 10 years old in such a fast-changing environment, the legacy of the software can weigh you down. I've worked on similar products that were tied to their legacy counterparts (sharing a database), and every change meant carrying the baggage of backwards compatibility with the legacy platform. If I could do it all again, I'd have done it the Basecamp way: Get a clean break from the legacy version, and have a migration path to the new system.

I would like to see CloudBees take all they've learned over the years, take the great work they've done on Blue Ocean and their core job scheduling system and put it all together without carrying the history with it.
Category theory basically reshaped the language (and methodology, in some sense) of large swaths of modern mathematics. So it s applied more like the set theory, as a foundation. But it’s hard to explain to people not steeped in the subject.

I was thinking about that, but I'm not sure cardboard is a very high grade recyclable (materials made from it tend to be low quality). I was trying to think of something that itself could be more easily reused, like wood (although manufacturing would be awful).
In the business this trust comes from the fact that they are regulated, validated devices (lots of testing and process; any change involves a lot of work). I don't think the DIY movement will address regulation or validation (and I don't know that regulation and validation is guaranteed to make a safer product than DIY can).
It is unfortunately a very stupid word.

For families to hold land, and for them to concentrate it, are two very different things. Individual farmsteads are not what concentrative legislation like Proposition 13 encourages.

What legal situation in Europe or elsewhere are you actually describing? Many agrarian societies were imperial. Pre-feudal Europe involved a mix of Roman institutions and tribal institutions, and tribal societies generally have a vague concept of land ownership. Maybe you’re thinking about the Old West?
It is a pretty significant number of satellites. For whatever reason the FCC has taken up the role of regulating satellite collisions and such, and if you go dig up SpaceX's fillings you can see them discussing mitigating issues related to this (keeping probability of a collision for the entire constellation less than the acceptable number for a single satellite, making sure the satellites burn up on re-entry to mitigate "a satellite fell on my head" risks, etc).
Correct. A slave on a plantation should simply do their job. It is never appropriate to espouse political opinions in a place of business. The promotion of business interests trumps any humanistic interests, which have their set places and times to be addressed in a quiet and easily ignored manner.
I think you're missing the point. Who knows what Notch was trying to accomplish by saying "it's okay to be White". For all we know he saw people taking offense to the phrase, and was perturbed by people evidently claiming that it is not okay to be White (the link you provided included responses to the phrase that included calls for "white genocide") and wanted to emphasize his own view that being white is not something bad. If you want to portray Notch as some kind of white supremacist aligned person, then the onus is on you to prove it. The likelihood that he is part of the overwhelming majority of people that don't really care about 4chan and other obscure internet subcultures is significantly greater.

The point remains, the overwhelming majority of people will not take offense to the phrase "it's okay to be White" and will be perturbed by the people who do take offense to this phrase.
This right here is what they're banking on :)
