It is easy to do unless you don't code at all, or are completely confused by the math.

I'm a C# developer and I'm sure it would take me all of about 30 seconds to install a matrix multiplication package through nuget. I'm sure it would be immediately obvious how to add items to matrices or do a dot product.
Yes, everyone wants to blame the pilots or the engineers at Boeing.

This was not an engineering problem, it was a greed-created management intentional decision. It was management designed for failure because management changed the goal to put money over life in distinct ways.
I'm still more partial to the math/physics side of STEM than to biology, but it took me until late in college to realize that I was much less partial to it than I'd always assumed. I could probably have been quite happy working in bioinformatics or neuroscience, for many of the same reasons I enjoy physics and programming.

But my early exposure to biology in both highschool and college was "sequential" in a wholly meaningless way that pushed me towards the aspects I liked least. Anatomy and cell microbiology are not actually prerequisites for learning about population ecology, nor is macrobiology a real prerequisite to basic neuroscience.

It feels like physics/mathematics/engineering education is substantially better at allowing students to engage with the topics they like most, then develop supporting knowledge as they need it to progress further. That drives engagement in the field as a whole, but it also makes the secondary learning easier and more useful. The linear "map of the cat" approach to teaching biology is often a bigger cause of 'hard sciences' snobbery than the actual differences between fields.
I'm stuck on 5.7 because previous dev used the worst sprocs I've seen (no exaggeration) and until I've ripped them all out I daren't move to 8, it was on 5.5 when I started but with much effort I got it tested enough to reasonably confident that 5.7 would work.

It's an excruciating process though.
> The article is fine. If you read it you would have discovered that...

It sounds like the article isn't clearly stating that the hackers haven't revealed the names of the companies, rather requires intuition of the reader to figure out. IMO the journalist should be more clear.
> Kaiser doesn't treat many people over the age of 65

I know a couple people over 65 who are at Kaiser.
I think you're right that people aren't very good at weighing the risks, and that's a good argument for forcing people to pay into a healthcare system.

I also just think it's important to acknowledge that we're explicitly not trusting people and instead deciding what is best for them, as opposed to a situation like extreme sports, where we allow people to risk their lives. I think it's a fine position to take, but I think it's slightly hypocritical to allow extreme sports, but not allow people to make their own healthcare decisions (though once again, a perfectly valid position as a matter of policy).
> ABA issues are totally eliminated by GC enabled setups

Doesn't the same approach work with a thread-safe reference-counting approach to memory-management?

The big difference between tracing GC, and reference-counting, is the ability to handle reference-cycles. Is that relevant here?
There are more than zero Democrats working on the problem. There are zero Republicans working on the problem.

Logically maybe we shouldn’t, but humans aren’t known for doing everything logically. If you know someone is in trouble and you have the ability to rescue them it is human nature to do it, no matter the cost.
IIRC, directly hooking into the kernel / modifying the kernel directly, instead of working around it.

I simply don't see any valid argument for avoiding MySQL due to "data reliability" concerns in 2019.

> There were other minor deficiencies mentioned in Klepmann's book on Designing Data apps, but I don't remember the specifics now.

Well, I can't really respond to non-specific points from a book I haven't read. I'm happy to respond to any specifics re: data reliability concerns, if you want to cite them. FWIW, I have quite extensive expertise on the subject of massive-scale MySQL (16 years of MySQL use; led development of Facebook's internal DBaaS; rebuilt most of Tumblr's backend during its hockey-stick growth period).

> But the core Nvidia binary blob driver existed independently from Linux kernel, it can't be a derivative work of Linux kernel.

Many kernel developers are of a different opinion, and consider Nvidia in breach of their license. The fact that nobody has sued does not mean that they are in the clear. Don't consider the use of a thin shim to be some sort of license firewall.

Anyone other than a select few multinationals probably shouldn't consider legal disagreements with their partners a valid business strategy.
I love my Volkswagen but I'm instantly put off the id3. I'll wait for an electric Jetta or more likely run what I have into the ground to avoid the new cockpit nonsense everything has now
The word "reasons" appears to have gotten dropped from the submitted title. The article's title is,

…which is grammatically correct.
Presumably because Red Hat is a business and is trying to make money. You only get updates if you have a subscription. If you aren't a subscriber, these images probably aren't what you want. Get the CentOS equivalents instead. If CentOS doesn't meet your needs but RHEL would, I can only think that you should be a paying customer then.
The article claims that AV1 works since FF 65 but the examples do not work on FF 66.
So actually it doesn't make sense but some company benefits so it's locked in forever that way?
Can anyone simply explain the gist of how matrix multiplication is optimized? I know a lot of is farmed out to the GPU (if you've got a good GPU), but what's the essence of it? Caching? Some kind of clever mathematical tricks? All of the above?
Wait, so the US is evil for not giving the benefits of it's economy to states it doesn't like/that dislike it? That seems really backwards-- how does anyone else have a right to the US's economy?

Even more, (if I understand your point correctly) the US is also evil for having a good economy and society that refugees want to flee to?

So the US is both evil for having a great economy available to people and also for not making that economy available to people? Is there any way to win besides just not having a good economy (and society)?

Is this just hating on the strong and successful because they are strong and successful?
PostgreSQL has logical replication built-in since version 10. This allows you to replicate specific tables between multiple master databases, accepting writes on each. You define a merge function in case there's conflicts.

If we can’t read and audit the firmware code, we can’t reason about what is going on during the critical phases of the boot process; if we can’t modify and reproducibly build the firmware, we can’t fix vulnerabilities or tailor it to our needs; and if the firmware isn’t measured and attested, we can’t be certain that our system hasn’t been tampered with.

... and to say that most instances in which ad-hom is invoked on HN result in stupid debates about whether an argument is (a) actually ad-hom and (b) fallaciously ad-hom (a subtlety most invokers on HN don't really grok).

I think we already have a culture that rejects personalized arguments, and "ad hominem", which gets deployed because people have long ago pulled it out of one of those Internet "fallacy lists", virtually always just clouds discussions. It's certainly more corrosive than "whataboutism".

Honestly, I think it's possible that all "canned" fallacy arguments --- ad hom, whataboutism, argument from authority, straw-man --- basically contravene the "principle of charity" guideline, and that it'd be worth having the guidelines ask people not to deploy pre-canned responses to other people's arguments. You can make the "this is a fallacious ad hominem" argument, if you really know what you're talking about, without using the words "ad hominem", and that'll always be a better comment.

Optimize HN for better writing!
And that's why we need financial alternatives. Alternatives where third-parties can't unilaterally decide to freeze your account, disrupting your professional and personal financial flows. Cryptocurrencies solve this specific problem, because users are in control of the cryptographic keys therefore they authorize themselves the transactions without a third party having to be involved.
This is the worst feeling, being scared and not able to do anything. Thank you for your comment!
See the history of the Stabilization Act of 1942 [1] and Executive Order 9250. Wages were frozen by law, but not benefits, so companies began offering benefits, including health insurance [2] The next year the IRS decided these were nontaxable, until it changed its mind in 1953, only to be overruled by Congress in 1954 [3].

The line I've heard a few times is about forcing people to confront how much they're paying in taxes. If you have to do the numbers (or pay someone to do so), you will confront how much you're having to pay. Rather than just glancing at a form, and passing it on.

I don't agree with that reasoning. It feels that we just look at the numbers, and punch them in. There were many people that were surprised that they had to pay extra taxes this year.
I'd love to AV1 to become the standard, but as far as I've seen, it's just not implemented anywhere, and the spec wasn't 100% final. I was messing with ffmpeg a couple months ago, and it didn't look like a straightforward option to convert either. I'd say it's not quite time we replace GIFs with it.
It makes it easy to distribute tools and libraries. There are security concerns but for something like this, it seems like a fine distribution method. No one is stopping you from just cloning the repo if you don't want to use npm though.
How we solved outages and performance issues in Helpmonks
Well... it is from Vox...
Uh, no. In a car, if things go badly you pull off the road and work on a solution. If things to really badly, you have seatbelts, airbags, crumple zones, and a thick frame to help you out.

In an airplane, if things to badly, you keep flying until you land. If things go really badly, remember that everything is built to be light weight, and unless the crash is well controlled, everything will be destroyed and everyone will die. If your engine quits, your cabin ruptures, your instrumentation fails, you keep flying. And you need instruments; in poor visibility, your own sensory inputs are in fact faulty, and won't help you figure out which way is down.

Unlike in a car, where it's pretty obvious where the ground is, for example.

Yeah, they really screwed you if you opted to keep the car. My dad has a TDI and wanted to keep it but the number of hoops to jump through was ridiculous. Plus they wouldn't have the fix for a year and he couldn't get a sticker for the car without it. Ended up doing the buyback instead.

Containers access disks and devices the same as anything on the host. For networking there's just as many options as with VMs. You can directly pass a specific NIC to the container without any overhead, and you can also use other options that have no more overhead than a regular network interface on the host.

There's no way virtualized access to IO should be better than the host, so the containers should be no worse than that.
WSL1 was notably slow, because the windows file system stack is much slower on metadata than Linux.

I guess you could be right but for me, I couldn't afford 6-12 months of low endurance as I was about to start a specific workout program which also needed me to be in caloric surplus and have high endurance. Maybe I would try it out again in the future.

But another main reason as I pointed out was that Keto was severely limiting my social eating habits. I personally did not do it for losing body fat, I did it mostly to see how it is. I still loved eating out with friends - things like sushi rolls, ice cream etc. Keto wasn't allowing me those things.

I would actually love to do keto because I love eating meat (steak), butter, avocados etc but right now isn't the right time for me from a social point of view.
The headline and most of the article is misleading, implying that you can leave the state to avoid paying taxes on deferred income like RSUs. You can't.

A small blurb of truth from TFA: "California imposes an income tax on shares vested in the state, but does not tax stock that is sold after someone moves away."

This means that the company you work for is going to sell and send the proceeds from basically 40% of your RSUs to the Fed + California governments to pay owed tax, even if you don't life in California at the time the company goes public or has another liquidity event. Anything you hold longer that is subject to capital gains wherever you live.

It seems VP9 and AV1 do not play on macOS Safari.
I write software that controls hydro electric power plants including spillways and sluice gates and complying with environmental license etc. nobody has ever asked to look at the control system programs which take me the better part of a year to complete, starting from a library of about 50 different completed power plant control systems, so I am generally not doing much creative work just adapting and re-use of existing components and design patterns.

There are 10,000 virtual wires in the PLC that nobody cares about excepT for me and my coworkers in the same role, but the 30-40 physical relays and 1000 physical conductors in the power plant represented on schematics are reviewed by the customer and stamped by a Professional Engineer, because everyone understands they are expensive to change later.

Customers don't want to pay the additional cost to have their software stamped. They don't want to be told I can't fix that mechanical or civil design flaw in software because I don't want to open myself up to be liable for trying to help the customer get or keep their plant running despite some problems wiTh equipment supplied by others. People have this idea that software is easy to change. We can fix that later! Why decide now? It is a battle to arrive at the plant wiTh a complete, tested, documented control system, commission it and then shut the door and walk away. I have to be a really insistent about getting the information require to really complete my deliverables and then be very particular when other people's designs don't match what they delivered or work as intended. It is counter to my nature of wanting to solve problems instead of creating them or passing the buck, but that is what is required.
Ease of use for technical users as well.
Save points, with proper management of them, seem to match a conceptual nested transaction as far as I've seen. We've got a test bed connection manager that mocks savepoint creation, rollback and committal into transaction management functions so doing something like beginTransaction && beginTransaction works fine.
Why no h265? I suspect it's similar to VP9 in quality, but h264 is pretty old at this point (nowhere near as old as GIFs of course).

Fellow Python-Postgres web dev here. (Pyramid is my framework of choice, check it out!)

I'm developing a web application that uses SQLAlchemy. The ORM has been a huge boon for CRUD functionality. We also have some very complicated reporting features and use SQLAlchemy's query builder almost exclusively. I find that the query builder maps very cleanly to SQL, so I can still "think" in SQL while writing and reading it. And the query builder makes complex query composition easier to manage.
Microsoft had a tremendous headcount as well. But I think that there is a subtle and important difference. Developers at Microsoft see themselves as product creators - and within every creator is a passion for the craft that good leadership can unlock. IBM, to my knowledge, has a much larger proportion of their headcount who are "contract maintainers" - doing contracted work where their KPIs implicitly optimize for "how long can we keep/grow this contract" rather than "how good is the product created."

IBM has a cultural issue that will take far more than strong leadership to change - starting to change those incentives would require a disruption to IBM's business model that could truly hurt short-term financial performance, way more than Microsoft's "hey let's start releasing dev tools for Mac/Linux in ways that don't actually cannibalize PC sales - it's not like those devs were going to switch to Windows anyways - but do make it easy for them to become long-term Azure users."

And rather than fighting on the dev-tools turf, they're trying to gain mindshare with AI-as-a-service for people who aren't really innovating in AI. I'm looking at the icons in my Mac's Dock right now, and Microsoft's winning a ton of them with best-in-class IDEs and productivity software. Watson isn't in every startup developer's Dock. Now, if IBM bought Tableau and moved Cognos in that direction, adding generous free usage tiers, maybe they get Watson-branded icons on that Dock? But I doubt this happens any time soon.
The code shows the first three video formats being available and prioritized before gif, but the sample videos do not include gifs. It'd be nice to see the quality difference between the format that is being discouraged and the format being encouraged.

The first minor release 4.0 of OpenShift 4 (essentially a Kubernetes distribution) is available for AWS installations only, with experimental versions for OpenStack and Libvirt/KVM. The new installer is based on CoreOS Ignition, the new "immutable" Red Hat CoreOS and lots of Kubernetes operators that provision the underlying infrastructure and operate the cluster. You can get the installer from https://github.com/openshift/installer

(Running it requires an auth token from Red Hat that you can get with developer registration, though).
The "close cousins" thing is interesting for me. I live in a tree-lined streets neighborhood. Historically, they chose species on a street-by-street basis. My street was all linden trees for the curb trees (except for a last remaining elm, we've lost most of them to Dutch Elm disease). A few years back, a severe wind storm took out seven of the curb trees on my block, in a cluster (and smashed a few cars in the process).

Rather than planting more lindens, the city put in a diverse new collection - I think every one is different. Our new tree is a hackberry. Our next door neighbor got a japanese maple, and there's a buckeye across the street, etc.

So now I'm wondering what that means for the long-term health of our scrawny little hackberry. I don't know of any other hackberry trees in the neighborhood - the dominant species are lindens, maples, walnuts, ashes, catalpas, and a few ancient elms. Within our yard, there's a big old ash, a catalpa, a sumac, a magnolia, and a dogwood.

Oh, and I live in an urban forest, apparently.
