I am forced to conclude, from your complaints about the C++ code that you are exposed to, that it is very, very far from modern, for what I have to assume to be corporate reasons.

I don't know why you carry on about smart pointers. I find I use unique_ptr here and there (shared_ptr, practically never), and never, ever in any interface. Instead, modern C++ code traffics in value types, and relies on destructors, almost always from a library or compiler-generated, for cleanup. Use-after-free never happens because anything freed was only ever referenced from within a value-typed object that no longer exists.

The reason that, in modern C++, memory safety issues fade into insignificance is that we have access to libraries that are fully as fast as we could ever code in-line, optimized as only code that is used in many places can afford to be, that encode logic correctly, once, that can be used everywhere without compromise.

Rust does not yet have the facilities to capture as much semantics in libraries. Anything Rust can't capture in a library has to be coded in place, with all the opportunities for mistakes that brings.

So, Rust is good at safing low-level memory fiddling that we just don't do much of, anymore, in C++. Meanwhile, we avoid myriad errors that come from relying on necessarily leaky abstractions.
How to Easily Deploy Mojaloop on GKS
It depends on your application, so measure!

Ideally the CPU never waits for completed IO, it's busy building the next set of responses, or writing out the new state to the rest of the application. If you're ever "waiting", then you should probably be putting another/bigger nic in there or rethinking what your application actually needs to do:

10Gb ethernet is only about 10x slower than main memory, so 10 threads could be enough if you have a single memory fetch to service the response, and if you need two, then 20 threads. If you need more than six, then you should definitely rearchitect your application, since you're out of cores and time-slicing again.
Mirrors would work for a low power laser, but not for what they were testing. There are other options though. The simplest one is a spiky elongated nose cone, which would dramatically reduce delivered power density for a missile on head-on trajectory. Add an ablative cone and you can defeat laser power levels realistically available in the near future, compact enough to be placed in a pod under a wing. Bear in mind that chemically powered laser will have limited number of shots available. Electrically charged one (with super-capacitor) will need significant delays between shots. In both cases they can be overwhelmed by a large enough number of missiles.

Just the other day I tried the build system[1] for openwrt
and I was amazed to find how easy it is to create a custom image for a platform of your choice. And not just the kernel you can also build specific packages ,if they are not already supported by the package repository or are outdated.

Everything can be done from a graphical interface. Just a few stokes of keyboard and you have your own custom build. Really impressive stuff.

That is factually wrong. You have significant capital requirement both in term of RWA or Leverage Exposure (the latter is more likely to be binding for mortgages), particularly in the UK which along with Switzerland gold pleated every international (BIS, EU) regulations.

Banks cannot extend their balance sheet indefinitely, and if you look at UK banks, they significantly deleveraged since the financial crisis, as they adapted to new regulations.

In fact these capital requirements, along with increased liquidity requirement are probably why the multiplier effect considerably reduced after the crisis.

> McNamee is particularly outraged by the ease with which a New Zealand terrorist used social media to broadcast his shooting attack on a mosque on March 15. As a result, he says, there may need to be a kill switch to shut down social media in an emergency.

This sounds like moral panic, and not a well thought out argument. I absolutely agree any live streaming of such a despicable event should be targeted for take-down as quick as possible. And we could impose fines, for a lack of serious immediate response.

But really a kill switch? Twitter/facebook/youtube are down for the next hour because there is some objectionable content we don't want you to see...

UX is a huge field with a lot of entry points so it’s difficult so suggest a single resource to start with.

However I’d suggest that coming from an engineering background, you might find joy in learning about user testing first as that’s usually a big eye-opener that helps you understand why the field of UX design is important.

A classic book to start with is “Don’t Make Me Think” by Steve Krug[0], which covers usability testing and even how to conduct a session yourself.

Then there’s “The Design of Everyday Things” by Don Norman[1], whom many consider the ‘father’ of the modern field of UX. That one can be a bit dense though.

If you want to think like a designer, then learning about Design Thinking[2] is a good place to start.

Hope that helps!

"Still the standard" among people who don't know that C++ is faster than C.

Fortran used to be the language for what we now call HPC. C was too slow. C++ is used now. This did not happen because Fortran got slower. Instead, C++ got faster.

The reasons are interesting. It turns out that to get faster Fortran, your compiler vendor has to code optimizations in the compiler. But in C++ you can code them in a library, and not wait on the attention of a compiler developer.

If you are on your own right now, don't do it yet. As one man team, you'd probably only have an hour a day to deal with it and people will find it annoying,as they tend to expect quick response when it comes to chat. Last year I was checking on this product(saas of sorts).It turns out it's just one guy behind it,who does it all. He had a calendar plugin on his website,where you can select a meeting time based on his availability.Worked like a charm. If your product is highly transactional,you may want a different approach then.
The thing is, branch prediction already in the CPU is so good, manual branch optimisations are equivalent to code cache layout optimizations, which given the ever bigger caches are getting ever less important too.

The more important ones are for cache layout of bigger data structures, and there branch tracing is less than useful.

That said, this is very useful for tracing thread execution in particular. (Inter thread cache flushes are a thing.)

There is no running away from the trip. I mean, it's all in your head, so what could "away" mean? Except for some haloperidol, perhaps. And that is something that professional guides might have available.

But mainly it's fear that causes bad trips. So it helps a lot to have someone around who can reassure you, if you start feeling afraid. I've known people who freaked, and called 911. And that didn't turn out well.

Also, in my experience, Psilocybe spp. are much gentler than LSD, even at doses with comparable hallucinogenic effects. There's more "body trip" than withg LSD. It's almost like "pleasantly drunk" or effects of muscle relaxants.

That section describes the "polling". You are right that with normal IO, there doesn't need to be polling, since the completion will be signaled by interrupt. However as described in the document polling can be faster for some use-cases. And for those there needs to be one thread which performs the polling for completions. That one can be in the Kernel.

Android Test 2019 – 250 Apps – AV-Comparatives
> But in a 1 day like the national championship I really do not think that such verbal agreements are valid at all.

That would be the case if each rider would have the same chance of winning and each rider would be there to win. However, for many riders, the national championship are not their main focus. They might be exhausted from a long program of races in the previous weeks and are not at their best. Or they might be preparing for other more important races in the coming weeks and are not yet on their best, for example when coming from a training camp at height, or are unwilling to take extra risks to prevent injury. And, of course, some races are better suited to certain riders than others.

All these factors mean that there are a lot of riders that know they aren't there to win, but would be willing to help another rider. For example, one who has helped him before, or a team mate, or one would could beat a rival, or one who is an underdog, and so on.

It mainly has to do with familiarity with the framework. The focus of the work was on the collaborative server bits, not learning a new framework/ecosystem and I feel very comfortable in PubSweet, being its lead dev. The project also served as an app-building exercise, as we’re just now meeting in Cambridge to focus on that aspect and reusable components within PubSweet. And when all said and done, there weren’t any friction points with this approach, it all just sort of worked, from data model migrations to React frontend, so yay :) Hope that clears it up!

Iron Dome uses ground-launched interceptor missiles, tied in to a theater-level control net, to intercept short-to-medium-range surface-to-surface ballistic missiles.

This uses a self-contained, at-some-point-aircraft-mounted laser, to shoot down guided, powered, maneuvering air-to-air or surface-to-air missiles.

The span between 5S and X is pretty much the largest one can make between two phones that continue to get security updates.

Your point does stand - an X is an enormous upgrade to the 5S in usability and feel.

But barely so in function I would say. There are few truly useful things one can do on the X but not on the 5S. Portrait mode pictures? High-definition Netflix streams? 4k images?
Japan does need a bit of putting down. I've been to Japan and the Meiji Shrine had people with flags of Imperial Japan doing a photo session.

They're quite admirable as a people in most respects but that's just misguided. Especially since without US backing China would definitely want to have a word or two with them about those war criminals. And today's China is not China during the century of humiliation.

On the other hand South Korea did everything peacefully. They deserve their praise 120%. I just wish they'd be reunited with North Korea peacefully and with the resulting country following the South Korean model.

That would be a great counterbalance in the region to Chinese ambition.
Except the 90% is not a vertical slice, it is horizontal. I.e, the first 10% of notional in losses on the whole portfolio goes back to the originator. The profit on the transaction would have to be huge for this not to realign the incentives.
Not as things stand atm.

Most giant companies make most of their money by monopolizing (or oligapolizing) a particular market segment or vertical which means one or two product lines that generate massive amounts of cash for decades. MS: Windows and Office, Google: search, Apple: Phones and Laptops. etc.

The only way for MS to give up a large bulk of its income is if they find a way to make even more in some other fashion. Ex. Give out Windows for free and fill it with ads. That is not going to happen. It would literally be suicide. I can maybe see MS creating a windows subscription model similar to what they did with Office but... say you dont pay your sub for a given month then what? they´re gonna lock you out from your own PC? I don´t think the OS model for license is ever going to change but that´s my 2 cents.

Edit: Now that I think about it, perhaps if we get better bandwidth and less latency in our home connection MS could offer a form of windows on a small stick that you can run without having a HDD and all your local files are stored on Azure for instance in return for monthly payment and that version of Windows could be free of charge. But I don´t see that happening any time soon.
I imagine Israel would be at the top of the list of interested parties for this technology -- it sounds much cheaper than the Iron Dome since I assume there isn't a real per-shot charge other than the energy required.

It would also be much faster than their current interceptors.

I just wonder how well it would work against low-tech targets.
That is absolutely false. You can hear the hour long argument where the government defended the rule here: http://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/OralArgRecordings/17/17-10238_7-.... The Fifth Circuit then rendered a decision on the merits. The government didn’t file for rehearing or petition for Supreme Court review. But those are discretionary forms of review, reserved for special circumstances, and rarely result in overturning the appeals court decision.

Of course it is. In fact, that's the main purpose behind its development.
> It works roughly along these lines: depositors give the bank $10 million. The bank can now make loans worth $100 million (or some such number depending on the type of debt). They're creating money "out of thin air".

I think this is an oversimplification to the point where it is misleading.

Banks can't literally create money like this. What happens is that if a bank has $10m in deposits, they have $10m to loan out, but not more. In practice, they are limited by how much they can loan out by the fractional reserve. If that limit is 10%, then this bank can loan out $9m, so there is now $19m in existence.

If you follow this out to the limit, you get $100m with $10m of initial deposits and a fractional reserve of 10%, but a bank can't just multiply its money by 100%/10% and loan out that much money.

OK, I wasn't going to share this again. But now I must.

So I'd introduced a friend to LSD. They liked it a lot, and wanted to trip again the next day. I advised against it, because tolerance would reduce effects.

But no, it had to be. So we took maybe twice as much, and it was still disappointing. And then, being a total dumbass, I suggested that we smoke some marijuana.

Now my friend was impressed. Indeed, they were totally panicked, and convinced that it would never end. Because their short-term memory had become maybe 30 seconds.

So I spent the next three hours saying "It’s just the drugs, it will pass."
I'd tend to agree with you, except for the fact that Rust reserved words are reserved everywhere. Even if the syntax were changed, you still couldn't name a field "async" or "return". Since it's no extra burden on the namespace, I'm less opposed to it.

I'm on the fence about disambiguation via unique punctuation, vs avoiding Perl-like line noise.
> C is still the standard among people who don't know that C++ is faster than C.

Care to share some examples? I know there are a few specific ones like sorting but every benchmark I've ever seen has c coming out ahead in most tests, especially when c++ features are used.

> Fortran used to be the language for what we now call HPC

Again that was a fairly specific case usually only seen in scientific applications.

From your other post:

> It is not unusual for a C++ or Rust program to be 30% faster than the C program it replaces. The reasons are worth studying.

Citation needed, this is so far off from every benchmark I've ever seen it's laughable.

They're both going to be fine for web development. Look at the languages and see which you prefer. Look at the frameworks (Laraval and Django) and see which you prefer. I've gone with Python because I needed a CMS (Wagtail) built on a framework (Django). Modern web apps tend to consist of an API and a JavasScript framework like Vue or React. So the requirements of a web framework are less. This allows you to use microframeworks like Express (Node) or Flask (Python).
Thank you for the video links. I had never heard of Jamie Wheal before - I enjoyed listening to his thoughts.

I also enjoy listening to Terence McKenna and Alan Watts every once in a while ... most of what they say often sounds completely irrational, outrageously verbose, ridiculous and border-line ramblings of "mad men" ... but their words are also powerfully disarming, deeply engaging and resonant and finally emotionally embracing. I don't know how to explain it. I wouldn't want to be caught listening to them!
That was the focus of an enormous effort back in the 80s (SDI), but the solutions were not at the time technically feasible. Lots of these technologies for defeating shorter-range missiles are spinoffs of the different approaches explored in the SDI program, but these systems still don't have the performance or cost required to intercept hundreds or thousands of multi-km/s incoming ICBMs and SLBMs within, say, a half-hour window.
