It was indeed logic. A pair of MACs, a pair of ALUs, big chunk of on-chip memory and a big ol' mess of wires to interconnect them all. Heavily pipelined. For use in signal processing applications where latency wasn't really a concern.

We dabbled with big image sensor arrays but the sparing for yield was messy and we never came to grips with how to deal with the situation where the working sensors were in random locations in the array. It seemed to really mess up all the important systems level calculations. We also never completely worked out testing. The big logic chip had BILBO blocks so we could just put it in self test mode, run a lot of clock cycles, check the signatures, and switch in the working blocks. The sensor array needed more than that. Perhaps solvable issues, but we never got around to it.

The biggest difference between the 2 imo is that TR4 boards have 8 DIMM slots whereas Ryzen maxes out at 4 even with X570 afaik.

Ryzen 3000 specs say it can support 128GB of ram but it’s hard to find 32GB DIMMs on the market.

So if you’re trying to build a workstation with lots of ram and more than one GPU, the Ryzen boards are too limited even if you’re willing to buy a nice one.

Netflix is my DVD shelf as a service. I used to own lots of movies and series. Now they are all ripped and stored in hard drives, much like my music. I rarely buy new movies - I wait until they are on Netflix or Amazon and, if, for some reason (a 6 year old one, usually) I can't wait, I rent them from Apple.

You literally said "everyone". If you're best friend knows, and your Mom knows, and your neighbor knows, and your dog knows, and your boss knows, but you don't? then you're either a fool or no one likes you.

but note: the "you" in that sentence isn't you. I'm not saying you are a fool. Then why did you say I was? "let's be generous and assume the question is just naive"

Again, you've never established a right. And there is also this horrible assumption or belief that once doing porn forever marks or stains you. Well, certainly some people believe that. But I do not, and I challenge it.
Not unreasonable, but then they would probably A/B test it rather than just break it for everyone. Although I guess they might be A/B testing and I’m just in the same group as OP.

I think Vim is worth learning. I don't use it for day-to-day writing and coding, but there are occasions when I need to reorganize text or data and Vim macros make short work of what would otherwise take a lot of futzing around with Awk and the like. Plus, it's handy when you're SSH'd into a Linux server, although there are alternatives unless you're in a very stripped down server environment.

Since 2 lanes of PCIe4 are as fast as 4 lanes of PCIe3 I think it can make sense for more IO if you don't want to go for Threadripper. On top of that the motherboards I have read about thus far have better VRM setups for the CPU so for overclocking that could make sense as well.
People who are willing to bring their own device are helped by a few people who refuse to and just work less efficiently as a result. This puts a limit on how much surplus the employer can squeeze out of the more efficient employees as the less efficient ones set a lower floor for productivity.
A great start! If you could export a PowerBI dashboard to python and back that would come a long way.
I guess there's always "one more feature", but to me it feels like Scala stopped frustratingly just short of getting the language design right.

Partial type application is frustratingly cumbersome. For the last 3 releases or so - which is what, 6 years of language development? - people have been using the kind-projector plugin to the point that it's now pretty much entrenched. Any kind of built in solution - even if it were just bundling kind-projector into the compiler - would have been better for the ecosystem in terms of things like good compilation errors (which experienced users don't notice, but can be a major pain for newcomers).

The situation for enums is even worse, with what must be a dozen competing libraries/macros/..., none of which manages to be as nice as Java's "enum" (to the extent that I actually write enums in Java when writing Scala). I get that everyone has their own preferences, but even if the solution was just to adopt the Java solution directly (but allow writing the body in Scala) that would be a huge advance from where we currently are.

I love Scala but I really wish the developers had solved these two cases before, effectively, freezing development of new language features for 5 years and counting.

It is quite interesting market to be as software developer and there is quite a lot of competition. I'm from Lithuania, small country of 3 million people, and we have multiple companies offering photo book printing.

The hard part in this business is handling successfully both printing and software development parts. If you offload any of the tasks to 3rd party you can't offer cheaper option than competition anymore. If you do both then you have more problems. I don't know everything about competition but let's have some fun:

* Snapfish - completely focused to West Countries (North America and West Europe). They will never be able to conquer other markets with current technology stack/solutions they have now. They can solve the problems they have but I'm not sure how capable they are to do that.

* Google - yes, Google, is in this market as well. They have small simple solution but I think they have offloaded printing to 3rd party and printing books in their side is very expensive. I think Google will never be big player in this market but photo books will never get more expensive than Google's offering.

* Canva - you can create photo books using canva as well. They have quite amazing (while not pixel perfect) software stack but they don't offer photo book printing. You can download PDF and print it in local print shop if you want to get it cheaper.

I don't know what's local situation in USA but if you are in Europe you might consider printing somewhere in East Europe - most probably you will get lower price and good quality.

These were not photos submitted with visa applications.

> The compromised photos were taken of travelers in vehicles coming in and out of the US through specific lanes at a single Port of Entry over a one and a half months period.

The article also mentions this was part of a new program to use facial recognition on everyone entering the country. We've never had that capability before, so I see this working like it always has.

Regarding the visa photos, it depends on what they're used for. In general I'd prefer avoiding ongoing surveillance as much as possible, which reduces the need to keep digital photos preserved in accessible places.

I might be misrepresenting him because I don't know him but I feel like the creator of Wolfram Alpha and I are much alike in that we don't know what the hell it is we're building. Is it a word2vec flavor powered by a query language? Maybe?

From this release and here on out you can plug your own custom made vector space model into my search engine thingamajig. Your model that you provide consists of algorithms for creating embeddings and serializing them and of a graph configuration determining how it will be built and balanced.

I provide you with a query language that works over any model.

I'm using this to build recommendation systems, chatbots, NLU.

End game: a machine that knows everything there is to know about the world, as a service.

Querying crumbles at the size of Wikipedia. Increasing querying performance is next. Writing is ok-ish. A cboc model over English Wikipedia takes ~4h.

> if you're careful, you can find well-made furniture at low prices in charity stores. My house is furnished with a mix of crappy Ikea stuff and very nice second-hand furniture; I much prefer the latter.

But this illustrates exactly the problem. "If you're careful" -- meaning you wouldn't want the average one you see. Meaning there's going to be considerably more waste when people have to buy second-hand than if they just kept their own that much longer.

Can we move the project into a blockchain and run it on IPFS?

EDIT: Serious question, generate hashes out of the leaked logins, store them in a blockchain and provide an interface for lookup via IPFS. Those credentials are considered burned anyway so storing them for ever in a blockchain won't matter.

And from experience, those squeaky wheels get the grease and the engineers flog along with what they have because they are too busy to put the necessary amount of complaining in.
You're getting downvoted, presumably because "they wouldn't be evil", but I find the alternative just as problematic: a superpower tech company with a budget larger than many nation states hiring the best and the brightest and paying them unbelievably well so they do their best.. breaking fundamental features in widely used software and not realizing it themselves (they wouldn't ship the update otherwise, I believe). What's happening there?

And the follow up thought: "move fast and break things" suggests that we should think twice before relying on these companies for anything close to critical infrastructure.
If there was a use for collected plastic, a lot less of it would "get away", currently most of collected plastic ends up in landfills anyway. Burning jet fuel obtained from plastic would not decrease CO2 level, but it would not increase it either, as there is lots of other jet fuel to burn.

I completly disagree.

When you are owning a house or apartment - each payment of mortgage builds your own equity. This is not the case with renting, plus when you actually own it and have to move - you can also rent it.

Also, rent over here costs almost as much as mortgage(or in some cases - even more) - the only issue is the down payment - so the investment bit is very off.

By that graph, 2.13 is 17% faster than 2.12. I'd call that more than marginal.

At that point it had been figured out how to safely and efficiently implement Common Lisp on 32 bit stock hardware (workstations, then PCs), which of course was going to economically destroy specialized machines.

What standardization of CL also has done is restrain the commercial lisp implementation vendors, since they compete against standard-compliant free implementations.
I personally think it is a little overkill to use Prolog to solve sudokus, as there is a simple mapping of sudokus to exact covers. The resulting exact covers are rather small and can usually be solved within a fraction of a second using Knuth's Algorithm X, even for hard sudokus. http://www.iwriteiam.nl/D1009.html#9
If some of the jet fuel comes from plastic waste instead of from the ground that might result in burning less fossil fuel, compared to the situation in which the plastic waste goes into landfill. However, as long as people are still burning coal to make electricity (which still happens in China, India, Australia, ....) I suspect that even less carbon would be released into the atmosphere if the plastic waste were burnt in a power station rather than turned into jet fuel.
Good point on testing the backups.
As someone who has managed 10k endpoints, BYOD is a very niche solution. The security threats that any company with data worth stealing has is non-trivial.

I wouldn't want the "average" new sofa either, especially not in a price bracket I consider reasonable.

I agree that it would be more efficient if people kept their sofas for a decade, but they don't, and me buying the sofas they don't want is a better option than them ending up on a trash heap. Plus, I'll probably keep them for ten years. I buy high-end furniture second-hand so I can do exactly that, rather than getting a new Ikea piece of junk that falls apart in a couple of years.

I suppose the ideal scenario would be for manufacturers not to make rubbish and for people to be able to afford good furniture that lasts for decades, but we don't live in that world.

I hope that the SHA1 hashes remain freely available for download. I use them to build a bloom filter for password vetting.

We should all do away with password complexity rules (except minimum length) and simply test a large, comprehensive exposed password bloom filter for membership. It's very fast (constant time) and efficient and if the test returns no, then it's safe for a user to select that password.

Here's the code: https://github.com/w8rbt/bp

Also note that this approach satisfies the updated (June 2017) NIST 800-63-3B password vetting guidelines.

Both IDEA/IntelliJ and sbt (probably both utilizing the same compiler library/features underneath) can do incremental compilation, which is very fast. (You get autocompletion suggestions in IDEA as you type, the reload-incrementalcompile cycle using Play is now spent mostly in spinning up the app after reload not in compilation, etc.)

Yes, compiling a ~200 file project from scratch takes ~5 minutes, but it has scalaz, shapeless and a ton of other libraries, but this is basically only required when you import/open the project for the first time.
There are already different processes for this, including a rather nice one developed by the US Navy which takes CO2 directly from the ocean. Unfortunately it can't avoid being more expensive than fossil liquid fuels, which is why we have to campaign against exploration and drilling.
