Nope it really was a problem.

My brain wanders off to the point of literally not being able to pay attention. To the point, that I would routinely get barely passing grades in a boring course but ace interesting courses. Very few other students had that level of variance in their grades.

I also just can't do anything that has to do with data entry. I start, and in 2 minutes I realize the number are all wrong. I get double vision on the screen and am either yawning/daydreaming/thinking of the interesting things within that small time.
Is there some ADA regulation that requires them to include audio captcha for users with disability?
It's arguable in the case of ARM/Mali but sadly, there is for NVidia.

Their driver are not merely to "communicate" with the hardware. The driver include a lot of hotfix and optimization, sometimes specific to one game/application. The driver give them a competitive advantage over their competitor. They will probably never released it for free.
I'm guessing the more complex part of the operation is inventory management. The optimal way to stock a warehouse is different than the optimal way to stock shelves, and that has knock-on effects all the way down the supply chain. Plus, the inventory tracking in a physical store that is exposed to consumers is less robust in general.
What's preventing optimisations from being built for maths to be at least as fast as something like Numpy? Is it just the realtime nature of the BEAM makes it difficult?

If you really like you can choose to compile things using HiPE which in my tests can make mathematical stuff about 10X faster... it sounds pretty unsupported these days though. Maybe just put messages on a queue and process them in golang or rust if you must have the performance, no need to let the BEAM have to handle such things directly and always good to measure where your bottlenecks are first.
I'm excited for the future when we'll finally have day-before shipping, where ML predicts what I want before I even order it.
Show HN: A Generic Builder for (almost) any Framework (Bootstrap, Foundation..)
Numpy is mostly not much different from the matlab syntax (and therefore Julia and Scilab which it inspired, and octave which copies it) [1] outside of not being imported in the current namespace, a little more awkward multidimensional array creation and a few edge cases. It's also very fast.

Of course, if you want to do stuff that is not implemented, all those others will do better since you're using the native types and everything works with it (which is the same with this CL Numpy Clone). And I can't see how C is a good interface for numerics.

Exactly. Thus, the discussion about the stigma around it.
Bunker oil is what's left after producing all the other oil products.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_oil

>> "Small molecules like those in propane, naphtha, gasoline for cars, and jet fuel have relatively low boiling points, and they are removed at the start of the fractional distillation process. Heavier petroleum products like diesel fuel and lubricating oil are much less volatile and distill out more slowly, while bunker oil is literally the bottom of the barrel; in oil distilling, the only things denser than bunker fuel are carbon black feedstock and bituminous residue (asphalt), which is used for paving roads and sealing roofs.

The relentless competition in retail never ceases to amaze me. I remember when online order delivery times for basic items were measured in weeks. Now, I can order the most obscure of items and get it at my door in 1-2 days.

Sorry to nitpick with an anecdote, but the closest Walmart to me is over 60 minutes away and I don't live in a small town, just one that rejects/blocks "big box" stores aggressively. Walmart certainly has a lot of stores but not everyone has one just around the corner (thankfully)

You are saying that easy economic development is more important than taking responsibility for externalized costs.

Why are people so crazy about money as to rationalizing fucking others and even themselves over?
Thanks, that's about the same as private health insurance in Germany, with slightly lower premiums and higher deductibles (1000€ is common here).

Are those regionally different? I understand that rent is much more expensive than this in sought after areas.

I tell everyone to figure out how much they need to live and put just enough in an annuity to give you that (rent, heat, food, insurance). The rest of your 401k (if anything!) is fun money.

Don't forget that you should have long term care insurance that covers a good nursing home (get this as soon as you retire when it is still cheap because odds are you will never need it).

With this plan you can outlive your savings and still have an okay life.
For what it’s worth, this is one of the rationales behind microservices: if the concept of an “allowed transaction” in your org is not “all things that can be done to a database” then everything should be using a shared API rather than having direct access.

Amazon has rolled out same day delivery for my area and it is too convenient to pass up. I used to go to Brick and Mortar to get my items faster and I felt good that I was supporting them, but now I will have a hard time saying no.

Walmart has always had a terrible website experience for me. It's difficult to find items that will be in store for pick up and difficult to tell which items are part of the third party marketplace. Going to Walmart in person is equally terrible. There are so many trashy people I just stopped going, even though the prices were lower. It's the worst of both worlds.

I hope that same day delivery becomes something that every b&m retailer can provide regardless of their infrastructure. Maybe this is through Amazon or another third party. I'm wary of giving Amazon too much, but maybe this is the future and everyone else needs to get on board.
Walmart, yes. But at least in Europe (France and Germany at least), the last mile is still outsourced to the customer. Giving all the smaller delivery services in every city retailers always had the possibility to offer these services. That they didn't allowed Amazon to become as big and successful. Still, Amazon executed almost perfect on that opportunity.

Since I always wondered how it would look like if that window closes I am happy that I might get a first glimpse.
They could do the same thing AMD did, which is keep their game/application API optimizations secret within a proprietary userspace stack, but also make it work with the open source Mesa/Gallium3d stack. Leave the OpenGL/Vulkan software development part to software developers (or keep doing it yourself if you think it's that important), but at least tell us how to drive your hardware.

Interestingly, amdgpu/Mesa performance seems to be higher for typical game rendering than AMD's proprietary stack. I suspect at some point in the future AMD will abandon their 'pro' proprietary stack entirely after realizing they should stick to being a hardware business.
I don't get that. Just do what I did: open a single person company and charge them monthly for your (pre-tax) salary. This has drawbacks like not being protected by the employment laws of the country you live in (are any of us really concerned about losing a job?) but advantages such as having a lot more flexibility tax-wise along with usually very significantly lower tax rates due to you paying yourself via dividends instead of salary, also you can have multiple clients simultaneously if you can handle the workload.

Details on tax optimization vary depending on your country of residence and the country where you opened your company.

For the "employer" company this is also very simple as they're just paying the invoices you send them.
It doesn't! Because every Berliner knows you don't find what you are looking for, but what you need...
So you're basically saying that people live too long and we should reduce average life expectancy back to 50 again? Because that is what happened in the last thousands of years.

Too much theory leads economists to bad predictions
Not easy. We found out that most of the #2 types are not necessarily looking so the whole "let them find me through inbound marketing" doesn't work on them for the most part. You really need to come up with an outbound strategy i.e. how to hunt for those clients. It comes down the niche that you are interested in. If you are a generic web dev. shop, it is harder. The client has to really understand why you could make their business better and get them a better ROI.

For us, it is easier in the sense that we only deal with one specific niche. So we use things like linkedin sales navigator, hunter.io (to find emails)and plain old google.com. You ill be surprised how many prospects will actually give you 15 mins of their time if your call is well researched and relevant to their needs. This is not something you can do in your part time though. Requires a lot of research and execution. More about quality than quantity.

I've been trying to use Walmart for most of my household internet shopping needs because I dislike a lot of Amazon's practices[1].

In general Walmart is...ok. Their shipping times are pretty accurate, though they will sometimes split up shipments and don't clearly inform you. It also seems like their shipping pipeline is a lot rougher on boxes than Amazon. I ordered a window-mounted AC unit and the box showed up wrecked - the unit was badly dented and never worked.

Like Amazon, they have the problem of "seamlessly" integrating 3rd party sellers into their store which means you need to look closely or 4/5 things in your order will arrive day after tomorrow and 1/5 will arrive in 2-3 weeks.

[1] Walmart is no picnic either, but only so many companies can ship me the random products I've gotten used to.
Indeed. This machine is truly unique in the sense that it can be run with no binary blobs. To achieve this one had to disable GPU and WiFi (and use e.g. an Atheros adapter).

Now GPU acceleration will be achievable via open source.
>I probably can't convince you of anything

You might be able to, but if you claim someone is making tedious old right wing arguments, when it according to the reviews he spends his time commenting on Corbusier's fascism and the Spectator lumps him in with Vonnegut, then I can't take your critique all that seriously. Do you think Vonnegut's architectural critiques are also tired right wing arguments?
They stop you from pushing anything broken to master. So you only have to worry about being in a broken state locally on your machine, not about accidentally breaking master for everybody.

Ideally your code review system should be the only one to have merge rights to master. Then nobody can singularly break master at least.
Often it's a mess of third party proprietary dependencies, code owned by subcontractors, etc.

e.g. when AMD open sourced AMDVLK, they had to replace the proprietary compiler it was depending on with LLVM. That was an easy one. Many projects are much more deeply intertwined with proprietary crap.
Adobe Warns Customers of Potential Legal Action for Using Older Versions of CC
Not up on UK law, perhaps there's some other hearing where they could give public evidence?

Nice recounting of the horrors "this example case" suffered too. Remember: its all about abused children, think about that instead of the reporter's agenda; because after all no agenda is too extreme in the face of such horribly abused children.

Does anyone advocating "for the children" in these cases ever suggest telling kids they are people, with dignity and rights to defend themselves? That they have a right to violently, if need be, reject advances and insult to their integrity even from adults they should be able to trust? Seems to me most of the proposed fixes for "child porn" involve keeping it quiet, instead.
It's good to see some viable competition to Amazon, but it's regretful that it comes from, and probably can only come from, another mega-corporation with an extremely poor track record around worker treatment.

I wonder how viable some sort of supply-chain co-op would be. Basically, get all of the medium players together to share resources to try to match these gargantuan companies on the delivery and returns front. It just doesn't seem possible for them to match these companies on their own, and a third-party would basically just be UPS.
> What's preventing optimisations from being built for maths to be at least as fast as something like Numpy? Is it just the realtime nature of the BEAM makes it difficult?

You have to take immutability and multi-processing into account. Each process has a separate heap as a design assumption, so if you want to pass data between them, you must copy. Data is immutable as another design assumption, and this means that if you want to change something in a bigger data structure, you also must copy.

Theoretically, the compiler is free to optimize the latter - if it notices that some code can be safely optimized in a mutating way, it is free to do that, but then, someone needs to write that optimization - and the fact that this is not a priority for BEAM means that it is unlikely that someone will spend time to implement it if there are more pressing matters for them to do so. Then, not only it must be written, it must be proven that this optimization does not break anything.

Well knowledge is also a component to it and morality and legality.

To give a black comedy example if you have a friend who is a real fan of Tony Soprano and you ask a look alike to hold a surprise party for you and he is a hitman with a front company instead of an impressionist who takes it as a euphemism to murder them their death - even if you were a negligent idiot is vastly different than you straight up hiring a hitman to kill them.
"we are DESTROYING the earth, not mildly scratching it etc."

Only for very, very particular definitions of "Earth". There are numerous events in Earth's past that by any objective standard are more destructive than even the worst possible interpretations of man's efforts to date and worst plausible projections of man's efforts in the future. To pick one that probably doesn't even come to your mind, nothing we've done is even within two factors of magnitude of the disaster of the Great Oxygenation Crisis. Probably three, maybe even four. That one was bad. Well, bad at the time, anyhow; certainly none of us would today prefer that it had never happened.

That we're doing various dangerous and bad things is undeniable. That we're "DESTROYING" the Earth is a memetic weapon that has been crafted and fired at you by people who want you to give them lots of power to fix the DESTRUCTION of Earth, and to ensure that you stay in their control by ensure that anyone who disagrees with that assessment has the human instinctual "religious heretic" template applied to them, so you don't apply rational thought. Things are bad, but not so bad that you need that much despair.

That said, I don't expect us to lift industry into space. I expect us to lift an industrial seed into space that grows there, and that ultimately not all that many people will necessarily leave Earth.

I also expect that the current situation will not persist indefinitely. If we have clean energy, and look at how that is developing lately, lifting things into space isn't necessarily that big a deal. A "environmentally neutral" launch platform isn't even remotely inconceivable; it's not terribly out of reach today. The question isn't about the technology of 2019; the question is about the technology of 2069.
Your 20 year old Nike shirt was also 20x more expensive...
For better or worse, we are living in a world that is going through a great consolidation of wealth and power. Israel is a major beneficiary of the fiscal consolidation that we see happening around the world. Currently, there are more multimillionaire households in Israel per capita than the United States, Britain, Canada, Sweden and even Denmark!
As a United States citizen, it saddens me that our country is heavily focused on equipping and supporting a foreign entity that has been known to violate international laws and break their own agreements with the Palestinians (Oslo Accords) (Illegal Settlements in Internationally Contested Land). There is a long legacy of broken promises on behalf of Israel. Their reputation in the international community is bad for a reason, it is indeed an apartheid state and has been since its inception in 1948.

As humans, I believe that we have a moral obligation to ensure that a basic level of quality of life can be enjoyed for ourselves. If we are fortunate enough to be blessed with an abundance of resources, then our obligation to ensure a basic level of quality of life can be attained for our neighbors as well.

We see this natural progression very clearly in America and other countries. When an individual grew up in an impoverished neighborhood and eventually becomes a celebrity, they invariably elect to give back to the community, supporting their neighborhood and hoping to help others achieve a basic level of quality of life that we all as humans are entitled to. The responsibility that we have as humans to help others has and always will be held by the individual or country that is doing better off in terms of resources, knowledge, experience or financial variables.

A change must happen for the betterment of humankind. It is not the Palestinians fault that they were subjected to a full-scale military invasion in 1948 followed by 70 years of humiliation and severely degrading living conditions. The Palestinians in Gaza are unable to travel by Land, Air or Sea, their basic human right of freedom of movement has been restricted. The living conditions are wretched as a result of many restrictions imposed by Israel. The United Nations has deemed Gaza uninhabitable due to poor drinking water and lack of electricity. Currently, the annual income per capita in Gaza is $1,826.

It's my understanding that anything is allowed by some, as mentioned previously in this thread – boundaries are drawn with the intention of breaking them - these boundaries are both physical and abstract ones. I am sure that the intention would be to go much further than simply crossing boundaries but to rewrite the entire playbook.

Queues and messages is a great way to structure application logic (see Erlang, Go, etc). But all message exchange need not be run through the same (heavyweight) central broker.

In an app I recently worked on we used SNS for heavy lifting (e.g. it is replicated across regions), then a few smaller local queues, including just in-process, in-memory queues. It worked well.

Though yes, you want throttling, backpressure, and good instrumentation.
So why are western countries punishing themselves by putting a ban on certain plastic items such as straws, single-use bags or creating deposit schemes for bottles etc? Sure it would be more effective to call up poor Asian countries and offer to help them clean up that mess. The effect on environment, per dollar spent, will be orders of magnitudes larger than engineering any kind of change in the said western countries.

Not sure if you are being serious or not.

Inflating or price-fixing medicine that is ESSENTIAL to human life is not moral. It causes people to die because they can't afford it.
