I tend to subscribe the the fastest possible single thread mantra as well and buy low core count, high frequency machines for desktop usage. OTOH, compiled code software development is one of those areas where your better off with a few more cores vs higher frequency/newer machines. A very large number of opensource/automake/cmake/etc based projects have nearly perfect scaling out to at least a hundred threads. This is frequently true even for linker and packaging passes (given a parallel compressors like pigz). Between incremental linking, and runtime/loader linked systems (think linux kernel modules where each module is effectively a few C files linked into a .ko, each linked independently) this can even be true for the link phase as much of the overhead is IO/syscall bound even when cached.

Either way, your still missing the point, these machines cost a couple hundred dollars, and they might be a few percent slower, and 3x the power budget, but where I live that power is going to work out to $20 a year. Its going to take 50 years to make up the price difference in power, and in 5 years i'm going to buy the same machine someone paid $4k for $400 and that person is going to have to spend another $4k to get something better.
Much more likely that they made some global changes, and dailymail happened to be one of the hardest-hit high profile sites, because the amount of click-baity untrue stuff they publish.

Not really. The entire point of the article is that the available capital exceeds the available investment opportunities.
I love using Termius on my 12.9” iPad Pro with the keyboard. It’s a beautiful full screen terminal with extra features that just happen to pop up right when I need them. I’m delighted to see Termius is with YC now!

Feature request: Unlock the ability to use Termius as a swiss army knife for every iOS app - Using the new Shortcuts features released as part of iOS 13, it seems possible (I have not dug 100%) that support could be built to allow Termius to scp files, in a way that allows collaboration with most every iOS app. A specific example:

I take a photo. I hit the Share button. I tap the Termius icon. A list of hosts I have ssh’d to appears (perhaps with a most recent “current working directory” next to each entry). I tap “webhost (public_html)” and whatever photo I sent to the Share button is uploaded via scp. (Replace photo with “arbitrary file” from the Files app)
Precisely why I’m a big fan of tariffs and America-first foreign policy.

We need a way to restore manufacturing industry to the US, the loss of which played a large role in the erosion of the middle class. Protecting manufacturing and factory jobs used to be a selling point for Democrats but things have been a little turned upside down lately.
Let’s look at Apple Podcasts - the app and the directory. It doesn’t make Apple any money, they don’t host any of the podcasts. They just provide an index and once you subscribe to a podcast, the app polls the podcast’s creators website directly. The podcast directory also has a freely available API that is available to any other player.

It is the dominant player and directory. Do you think Apple is going to kill it? Google killed Reader with similar dominance.

I’m not saying Apple is always on the side of the angels. But in this case they have kept their podcast directory maintained since 2005.
I imagine raising the cost of labor in the U.S. would only encourage more outsourcing.

Maybe entrenched parties with lots of cash need special incentives to spur investment. I don’t know what those would be, but if all this cash is not being used to invest in public projects or new ventures, we may be witnessing the beginning of a huge socioeconomic shift.

Remember war bonds? We need road bonds. Bridge bonds. Something.
This is basic economics. Consumer spending is not the only kind of spending, and directing all economic output to meeting consumer demand would be disastrous for the economy.

>>What’s a capitalist supposed to do if nobody can afford their stuff?

Investing in new capital equipment is how you allow more people to afford your stuff.

More consumers will afford your stuff in the future when you've built your factory and you can churn out more stuff for more people.

Capital investment is why 2.5 billion people can afford smart phones today instead of 50 million people, like 12 years ago.
I pay for and use irccloud. You can probably use a VPN on top of that if you dont want even then to have your IP. You can also setup a connection bouncer on a server. Basically you tell it what ircd to connect to and it connects to it for you masking your IP. This is what IRCCloud does under the hood tbh.

I used to be on Efnet and DALnet and ETG servers a lot in the 90s and 00s for anime. Now I’m on Freenode all the time for #python, #django, #ubuntu, #debian, etc. It’s a good place to ask quick questions. But even more importantly, I use it for rubberducking (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging), especially when I’m digging deep into an issue in a particular piece of software and I don’t expect my colleagues in the office to (immediately) understand what I’m talking about.

and literally every asset class exploded. Isn't this the very definition of inflation...?

Another view would be that money is simply losing value. a million is not what it used to be.
If people and companies have so much money that they literally don't know what to do with it… is giving it away so ridiculous? There are so many worthy causes in the world. Is there really a point to acquiring more wealth if you're that rich?
No, they are tightly coupled. Decoupling is part of their roadmap, but doesn’t exist yet.
If it's not game like then 20-somethings and younger--especially younger--won't bother. But these youngins are not what you want when you're trying to learn something. Especially professionally and the professionals are more likely to be on IRC without any green behind their ears.
Sure, but just because it’s dangerous to manufacture doesn’t mean you can’t use it. Otherwise we’d never have nuclear power.
Software defined datacenter depends on a control plane to do things below the "customer" level, such as migrate virtual machines and create virtual overlay networks. At the scale of a Google datacenter, this could reasonably be multiple entire clusters.

If there was an analog to a standard kubernetes cluster, I imagine it would be the equivalent of the kube controller manager.

For vmware guys, it would be similar to DRS killing all the vcenter VMs in all datacenters, and then on top of that having a few entire datacenters get rerouted to the remaining ones, which have the same issue.

The Fed is against raising the minimum wage because it will make inflation increase above the allowed 2% per year. Which kind of makes sense because paying workers more will make things more expensive especially service businesses. But, they should still raise the minimum since most service businesses are heading for automation and the bump will help workers have a better job transition.
If only tariffs caused manufacturing facilities to return to the USA.

I was just thinking about that recently. One of the antenna's my company designed had some weird constraints based on the plastics. The engineer took a wire and bent it by hand to fit while looking at the impedance on a signal analyzer. And... it's a wire with some odd kinks in it.

Worked 'fine'

Later they redesigned the product to use a better classic PCB antenna and it 'sucked'.
Selective triplet exciton formation in a single molecule
We serve the free version of Termius to hobbyists which is pretty powerful and has no ads. One more benefit that you can rely on it because it is part of a growing startup. Btw, we saw a lot of dead SSH clients in app stores along the way, just because they had no business model, e.g., one-off payment.
I have a LiFEPO4 battery in my motorcycle, and even here in the bay area of California, I notice the change it its cranking ability on colder days. It's a real issue with the chemistry, as attempting to charge it while cold causes some unfavorable reactions as well, so relying on resistive heating to bring it up to temp isn't a great idea.

It is kind of amusing that cranking it a few times until it peters out from lack of charge, waiting for the heat to spread internally, then firing it right up as the capacity recovered due to temperature overcompensates for the previous drain, is a valid thing to do.
It already has? We are living it right now.
How do you outsource a Walmart shelf stocker?
I agree there. I dont worry about anything with irccloud. You might be able to achieve the same with a bouncer but then you still gotta invest in hosting one too.
Similarly, a candle carries over 10 times the energy of the same sized stick of TNT but you'd have to work pretty hard to get that energy out quickly.

In theory it should be easy to explain, along with things like how to graduate from a top university, how to socialise in groups and how to date. But they aren't easy to explain because there's so many little things that people just infer along the way. While people are trying to follow cliches they forget things like atmosphere and a hundred other things.
This is just incorrect. A 25% tariff doesn't correct for the difference in labor costs between China and the USA, because the difference in labor costs is > 25%. It just makes stuff more expensive for Americans.
I still use it as my primary form of communication. Only one job in my professional career have I NOT gotten from IRC. I use it mainly for conversational chats these days, though I still do get/give support on Freenode occasionally.

I know Slack is the new darling for these things, but their WebUI is so inefficient compared my IRC muscle memory. Wee-slack is great for the Slacks I can use it on (but nearly none of the community Slacks have open API slots for it.)
> This sounds closer to genetic programming -- they evolved a program that describes an antenna.

Based on my understanding of the paper, the members of the population were individuals which each encoded an antenna design as lengths of wire segments and rotations between segments. They weren't programs but rather what amounts to descriptions of geometric forms. So the output wasn't a program that was run to give an antenna, it was list of wire segments to assemble together in a certain way. But maybe the differences in in our interpretation comes down to mostly semantics.
So to summarize

1. You don't have anything better as a term

2. It's a valid and well understood term on the board you're on

3. It's a legitimate problem for those with finite resources

That leads to the conclusion that you probably don't pay for things often which is why you got your feelings hurt. There is literally no way that term should be offensive to you unless you abusively take advantage of services and then some then when it comes time to pay.

>>So having more customers is… bad?

If it's coming at the expense of higher prices for building out new capital, yes.

The market will naturally calibrate the amount of consumer spending for it to be optimal for long-term economic growth. If we artificially boost consumer spending at the expense of capital investment, we will hurt long-term economic growth.

>>Where do you think cars get built?

Resources that go to building cars at a factory are not going to building a new factory.

>>Not really. The entire point of the article is that the available capital exceeds the available investment opportunities.

The hypothesis is based on the fact that corporations are sitting on a lot of cash, which totally neglects to account for the huge growth in debt, and how cash reserves are important for absorbing economic shocks that can occur in over-leveraged financial systems.

I feel sympathetic to this argument, but running of money just short of take off/finding market fit/etc would lower workers pay to zero.

The real issue is that we live in such uncertain times it's very difficult to plan ahead, both employees and employers have become quite risk-averse.

for your example, one day would be about 3% of downtime. My understanding of their sla, for the services ive checked with an sla, a 3% downtime is a 25% credit for the month's total, or $2500, assuming its all sla spend.

In this outage's case you might be able to argue for a 10% credit on affected services for the month, figuring 3.5 hours down is 99.6% uptime.

but i still agree, it cost us way more in developer time and anxiety than our infra costs, and could have been even worse revenue impacting if we had gcp in that flow

Huh. Didn't know that. The firearm thing makes a lot of sense.

I left out the statistic that mentioned in 2017, firearms accounted for 50.57% of all suicide deaths. Didn't want to get misconstrued because I support the 2nd amendment and people like to use this fact as ammunition against it.

But now I would like to see a breakdown of that statistic by gender, to see how many firearm-related suicides were men vs women.

I wonder how many times this has happened so far
I have wondered in the past if "time" has varied over the existence of the Universe, like if the first 100,000,000 years relative to our own reckoning was actually more like 100 billion years as time is elastic and changed over some other higher-dimensional axis. Just a musing by a speculator
Giving it away for them would be to pay out dividends. I'm guessing its too tax disadvantaged to do that.
No. I don't not believe they've done this. They don't peer easily or often and peering with local partners is not something most people want to do, even Google. It takes trust on the part of the local service provider, which Google hasn't built as Google is often a direct competitor to their local products. Peering at the ISP level is really hard because it's all relationship management. Google couldn't manage their own fiber and built up a good deal of animosity with other networks in doing so, especially in the US.

I realize that tariffs are controversial given the current political climate, but they really are one of the best ways to claw back money from large corporations and reward unskilled labor in the US. We need to bring manufacturing jobs back to the US.

The loss of those jobs disproportionately affected minorities. Increases in corporate tax is easily avoided by domicile changes. Tariffs are a simple way to restore balance. Build it here. Hire here. No tariffs.
I've actually found double-entry bookkeeping really useful for personal finances. Let's say I transfer money from one financial institution to another (say, a bank to an investment firm).

I listened to the Rogan podcast and was definitely confused by some of the arguments he makes e.g. he claimed the celebrities are the "most miserable people in the world" because they get a disproportionate amount of hate directed toward them due to their status as public figures (or something).

I was also a bit surprised by the discussion around questioning the truth behind climate change. Yes, we should be scientific about validating hypothesis about anything, but to nod along as Rogan said "there's no evidence" was a bit shocking.
