It's a bit more nuanced than that. It's "as fast" without having to write any C.

I tried to recreate something like AlphaGo in Python using Keras, I never got the learning to work (probably because I was impatient and training on a laptop CPU), but a lot of the CPU time was simply being spent on manipulating the board state.

So I ported my "Board" object to Rust, and it was a lot faster. Things like counting liberties or removing dead stones were a lot faster, which was important.

Then I rewrote the whole thing in Julia and it was just as fast as my Python / Rust combo.

So I saw for myself that Julia does solve the two language problem. It is as pleasant to write as Python (and I like it better actually), and performed as well as Rust, based on my informal benchmarks.
Because Nvidia has faster hardware (assuming you want that) and the best and most complete OpenGL implementation.

At least that is the reason i get Nvidia GPUs.
This type of acausal deal only works for single-target attacks. If a bad actor is searching for a victim and sees two potential targets, one of which has resolved to never cede to their demands and one who wasn't commented, they will attack the ambivalent party.

Malware is not a single target attack. Whether or not it's probably beneficial to attack one of these cities is not considered. Instead of making gestures, these mayors should be investing in better cybersecurity.
That's averages. And 'pretty normal' is not a mathematical thingy it just means: that this isn't rare or noteworthy at all.
Renewable is immaterial as long as it doesn't emit CO2.

The constant use of 'I' and 'me' (19 occurrences in total) deeply tarnishes this report, and repeatedly singling out a responsible engineer, nameless or not, is a failure in its own right. This was a collective failure, any individual identity is totally irrelevant. We're not looking for an account of your superman-like heroism, sprinting from meeting rooms or otherwise, we want to know whether anything has been learned in the 2 years since Cloudflare leaked heap all across the Internet without noticing, and the answer to that seems fantastically clear.

Robbie Barrat Interview at Christie's with Artnome
I work at Stripe, on the marketing team, and assisted a bit here. My last major engineering work was writing the backend to a stock exchange.

If anyone on HN knows anyone who has the sort of interesting life story where they both know what can cause a cluster election to fail and like writing about that sort of thing, we would eagerly like to make their acquaintance.
It doesn't say that those particular uses are dangerous. But it says that their overall standards don't prohibit the use of potentially dangerous methods.

In a non-critical application that kind of stuff is usually fine. But for critical infrastructure there are normally rules against using potentially unsafe methods like those entirely.

Huawei would need to be more transparent to show that their practices are secure and that these uses are wrapped in some kind of protective framework. But until that happens it's reasonable to be skeptical from a security (and stability) perspective.
>Then put yourself where they are. As a married friend with kids,

"Hey Michael, so, yeah, I'm just gonna show up to your kid's third grade graduation, what door do I enter the school in to look like a total creep?"

Er... a lot of that stuff is going to be like that, or going to the Children's museum, or a child's park, or family events with extended family, or family vacations/road trips. Kinda creepy to just show up at that stuff "oh hey, fancy that, how funny we ran into each other at Chuck-e-Cheese and I'm here without a kid and I think the police are now here to ask why I'm here as a single adult male with no child".
> However, most modern youth cultures are defined largely by their lack of culture.

That doesn't seem right, even the "Smash Bros" community has a culture, hell people talk about the YouTube community all the time.

Also, soundcloud gave rise to Soundcloud rapper movement and more broadly has been important in the hip-hop community, I don't think it's a good example
definitely! that's our initial goal. Quantify the penalty and examine the trade-offs. Clearly, virtualizing workloads on such devices with standard VMMs/hypervisors isn't ideal. And we're working towards this direction; playing with the systems stack is what makes us tick, so, it will be a fun and (hopefully) useful adventure :D
I wouldn’t use Siri or Google Assistant, since those are recorded (and I’d feel uncomfortable using a Google speech-to-text feature for that anyway).

But is Apple’s speech-to-text feature (like on the iOS keyboard or in tvOS) recorded? If not, I’d venture to say I’m (currently) OK doing that with Apple services. They’ve prioritized security and privacy admirably.
I wonder if WINE will ever be enough to cover all these cases. Though the cost of Windows licenses is generally trivial for businesses and they want support. I don't know how good RHEL for Workstations is but maybe that'd get more adoption in business if WINE was perfect and that desktop experience was as good as/better than Win10, or even had a DE made to be as similar as possible to Win10 to make it easier for employees to switch.
many scientists have tested substances on themselves. But, with sample size n=1, testing on yourself, would you really learn anything?
This is such a great retrospective - thanks very much for this, jgrahamc. I really appreciated learning so much about how Cloudflare works internally, and the appendix (with animations!) was delightful.
I think there’s a good chance they go under in less than a year, with the final nail on the coffin being the poor performance of Lyft and Uber stock since both represent the very best case scenario for Bird...
Authoritarian structures work quite well in crisis situations, where acting quickly is imperative. It's why the military has such a rigid command structure and political leaders have emergency powers.

Democratic processes work better for longer term planning when there is time for debate, compromise, and developing a deeper understanding of the issues.
The real question is, what do we do with violators? Especially those lost in the head.

Adequate mental health institutions seems an appropriate start. But it also needs to be coordinated regionally. San Francisco and LA can not bear the burden of the western United States.
Why don't they call 'significantly elevated error rates' an 'outage' instead?
At this point you might as well be adding noise around the face then.
> there are the "my family needs help" folks who beg with kids in strollers and at the end of the day get back into their cars in the Target parking lot

Someone can own a car and still be in desperate need of help.
I had the same experience. Got hooked on the Bird/Lime craze and decided I was done dealing with playing the lottery of "will there be a scooter nearby, and if so, will it be in good condition?".

Even with my mild usage, it made more sense to me to own rather than rent. Much to Bird's chagrin (probably) rather than going with the overpriced, under-powered buy your own Bird (https://shop.bird.co/), I've put the deposit down on the Boosted Scooter (https://boostedboards.com/vehicles/scooters/boosted-rev).

It's not cooling. The description says LA will increase by 0.5C by 2050.
In several large cities there is already a workable solution for those trips though. Bike share with fixed stations, like CitiBike in NYC or Capital Bikeshare in DC.

As I understand it the fixed bikeshare costs are controllable and those systems are not losing money at anywhere near the rate of Bird.

EBikes will be rolling out soon for some of these systems too so that solves another one of the disadvantages they have against eScooters.
Einstein!
Because you simply can't do much ML experimentation on AMD; it lacks the entire CUDA ecosystem. I'm sorely tempted to run two GPUs, but also worried they'll probably clash.
Yes this was very surprising. The system was working fine after the cluster restart. There was no need for an emergency rollback.

Doing a large rollback based on a hunch seems like an overreaction.

It's totally normal for engineers to commit these errors. That's fine. The detail that's missing in this PM is what kind of operational culture, procedures and automation is in place to reduce operator errors.

Did the engineer making this decision have access to other team members to review their plan of action? I believe that a group (2-3) of experienced engineers sharing information in real-time and coordinating the response could have reacted better.

Of course, I wasn't there so I could be completely off.
Me neither from updates, but I have random components of my system fail. Like the start menu search if you disable some telemetry services.

It is telling that deactivating telemetry is the most significant feature of the enterprise edition.
What's the nuance? It's much faster?

This whole model is such an obvious failure it’s shocking it ever got off the ground.

Leaving the easy business reasons aside, I was in Denver and the amount of these scooters littered around the city pissed me off. They where everywhere.

It’s just a matter of time before the city has enough and either bans them or just regulates them out of business viability.

This is one of those things that had this business been forced to stand on its own 2 feet with early revenue survival and not been gifted life by investors it would have met its doom naturally without the waste of billions of dollars.

It’s a great example of how the new “start-up” method of business building can be toxic and unproductive to the betterment of society. It allows bad ideas to have life because a few people wanted it to be so. Society would have killed this quickly.
It's interesting how incredibly low France's CO2 output is, mainly thanks to their investment in nuclear power. And while uranium isn't renewable, I think we've got 300,000 years worth of it available. Think we can crack fusion or ultra-high-efficiency solar by then?
There was one update that turned Cortana back on. I think it was the major feature update before the "Creators Update". It was the one where everyone (or at least me) thought they got hacked like in a movie. My computer was randomly turned off. I turned it back on and instead of the login screen, it just was a glowing "All your files are exactly where you left them..."

Took me like 5 minutes of not being able to use my computer to get through, only to find that I wasn't hacked... but that was something Microsoft hired and paid employees to do.

With that in mind, they haven't done anything like that since. Hopefully people are super mad about it.
There really should a prize or something for best postmortems to reward companies for doing this & giving them some PR.

Windows Defender's realtime protection in Windows 10 is also terrible. Practically monopolises an entire core at all times. To make things worse, you cannot permanently disable it without a GPO. And Microsoft is known to keep taking GPOs out of Pro.

Windows is just a spyware at this point. Never use it for anything serious. Microsoft having more money that they can ever spend, play the "good person" and seduce developers with shiny things, but the underlining strategy to f*ck everyone hard is in play at all times. Don't be a fool.
Odd. On the dozen Windows 10 PCs I've maintained from mixed vendors and self builds, some fresh installs, some upgrades from 7 or 8, I've never had any of these options reenabled. No fancy registry hacks or 3rd party blockers on 3/4 of the machines. A few have more aggressive telemetry disabling changes, and let me check this one... yeah, no changes. And this system has been abused, tweaked and untweaked 15 ways to bacon over the last 2 years on the same install.

My guess is that people screw up their machines in a way that triggers some type of registry repair, or they encounter a problem and do a rollback or refresh in safe boot themselves, which will reset things like active services and scheduled tasks. Those fire up, see an unrecognized configuration, invalid entries, or missing entries, and reset those settings to a default.

Seriously, I see these comments on things happening by magic in Win 10 - full apps installing themselves, setting gremlins flipping switches, advertisements eating people's children, etc.- and I've literally experienced NONE of them. Actually I had Error Reporting reenabled once after using the troubleshooting settings to clean the DNS cache instead of ipconfig. I've had plenty of issues to troubleshoot, mostly from my own tweaking, some out of my control, but the level of Win10 FUD is bizarre.

tl;dr - More MS FUD. Don't use every hack posted by internet randos and check any deep customizations after using any automated repair tools.
I feel the same when reading books or watching films about people doing that in the 50s or the 80s. “Let me just go to Italy and live there for a year.” Completely legally, as far as I can tell, and without being bound by five-year employment contracts. Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure few Western countries want more lowly software developers.

To be honest, if they're going to do stuff like that they shouldn't be offering those features at all.

Developers should stick to implementing features they're likely to maintain.
Hey, thanks for phpList! We were on it for the longest time, and personally, I first used it some 14 years ago.

We did try several things; Postfix tweaks, SES / Postal SMTPs, rate changes in the phpList config etc., but nothing seemed to work. This, along with the other factors (segmentation, dynamic templating), lead to listmonk.
Your response highlights a good idea to mitigate the risk I was trying to highlight in mine.

They want to have a rapid response path (little to no delay using staging envs) to respond to emergencies. The old SOP allowed all releases to use the emergency path. By not using it in the SOP anymore, I'd be concerned that it would break silently from some other refactor or change.

Your notion is to maintain the emergency rollout as a relaxation of the new SOP such that the time in staging is reduced to almost nothing. That sounds like a good idea since it avoids maintaining two processes and having greater risk of breakage. So, same logic but using different thresholds versus two independent processes.
Indeed, only dwarves.
To be honest, that segment made me question the "Sinclair = propaganda" meme. It's the only Sinclair production I've ever watched (don't watch OTA TV), I watched the whole thing. I thought it was very reasonable. Maybe Sinclair is a nefarious operation, but in my opinion that was a well done segment with reasonable suggestions for a way forward; their highlighting of how a Rhode Island(? it's been a while since I watched it) municipality is handling the issue.

If the choices are the "propaganda camp" or the "totally hands-off approach to homelessness taken across the west coast camp" (and the associated blind eye to blatant criminal behavior and near total abandonment of responsibility towards public property in some places), I guess I'm in the propaganda camp.

Stripe splits data by kind into different database clusters and by quantity into different shards. Each cluster has many shards, and each shard has multiple redundant nodes.

having a few nodes down is perfectly acceptable. I guess they would have had an alert if the number of down nodes exceeded some threshold.

There is an issue where I have to plug it in right after windows starts to boot because the mac tries to disable the integrated graphics if it's plugged in when the laptop boots (which causes windows to not boot). But if you don't plug it in while windows is in the early boot stages then windows doesn't seem to want to identify it. Apparently this is solvable with a custom efi module but I haven't explored that yet.

Otherwise it works solid in windows. Pretty much the same performance as when the card was in my desktop.
I'm surprised how many people today, even people my age, don't realize that anyone can edit Wikipedia, or that there's much more valuable information (at least for controversial articles) located in the Talk page.
