This is one of the undersung benefits of ES in my eyes. Relevancy results requires tuning of the indices and queries and in most cases (that non IR-experts would program) ES will give as good results and be as easy or easier to implement as Solr.

But after you've gotten over that, you realize that this new tool can do lots more things than just text search. Time series metrics, BI, predictive ML, APM, etc. with relatively little work.
With Solr, you could do those non-IR tasks, but it's going to feel much more awkward, IMO.
Transparently gluing boxes together over a low bandwidth fabric died as an active research area right around the time Plan9 was seeing its first development. By the late 80s shared bus SMP had demonstrated its practicality and quickly became the predominant architecture. Today we don't spawn processes on remote CPUs because the whole act of scheduling on multiple CPUs is entirely transparent to us, that's a competing architecture to the predecessor found in Plan 9

MOSIX is the only system from that era that I know is still around. It had a fork by the name of OpenMosix for some time, but according to Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOSIX#openMosix ): "On July 15, 2007, Bar decided to end the openMosix project effective March 1, 2008, claiming that "the increasing power and availability of low cost multi-core processors is rapidly making single-system image (SSI) clustering less of a factor in computing"

(I admire the downvote, but please realize this is not a question of one's opinion!)
Where I was, that was very much all they used it for. Hope it’s the same for you.

FWIW, they only asked us to very roughly divide our time up with a minimum of 8 hours per workday (anything not allocated to a project or maintenance went to a bucket that included meetings, PTO, and more). I responded to that by tracking (partly for my own purposes) as many hours as I put in in a day, so I’d know when I was working too many hours per week. And to passive-aggressively make sure they’d know too!
I have some sort of love/hate relationship with this project, regarding the Dis VM.

IMHO, having read the spec, I think the VM had a great design for the nineties but was not future-proof enough. It's like it was designed with some specific CPUs of the time in mind, and that biased the design. Also, I find it too tied to the language used in the canonical implementation (obviously C).

In contrast, I find the JVM (contemporary to Dis) more generic and more easy to implement using other languajes than C.

BTW, a few years ago I wrote a (incomplete) Dis VM in C# [0] that I hope to finish^H^H^H^H^H^H rewrite some day...

By far the cheapest car I ever owned was a Mercedes E300D turbodiesel. Was a $55K car in 1998 and a $6500 car in 2009. Mercedes in general but diesels in particular are built to last and are quite inexpensive to maintain if you DIY or use an independent mechanic.

A $6500 Jaguar is probably not a good budget recommendation though... :)
I think it still is:

1. Alice and Bob set up their OTP

2. Alice randomly generates a new OTP

3. Alice encrypts the new OTP with the original OTP and sends the ciphertext to Bob

4. Bob decrypts... the new OTP

5. Alice and Bob burn the original OTP

6. Now Alice and Bob have a copy of the new OTP

I mean, it's pointless. But I don't see how it isn't secure.

True but AMD hasn’t released Rome yet, given that in Benchmarks I posted the 12 core 24 thread is out performing the Xeons and given that Rome is a zen 2 based core I think it’s safe to extrapolate that AMD have a competitive or better processor portfolio compared to intel at this point.

I don’t think this is inherent to Boomers so much as the general reaction of people who have chosen to live someplace specifically because it has a small town feel.

Instead of finding new ways to cram people into smaller spaces, we should be trying to incentivize businesses to spread out and open new branches. This has the side effect of encouraging diversity and social mobility.

Converting sprawling residential areas into high-density urban areas without upgrading infrastructure and public transit like we have been doing leads to a lot of issues.

People are gradually getting stuck choosing between skyrocketing real estate prices and massive contention for shared resources in urban areas, or languishing opportunities and pay in rural areas.

Not to mention the consequences of climate change, and the additional risk of concentrating more people in fewer places. Or the impact on political power due to the way the Senate and Electoral College are structured.

So I disagree that this is just a “housing crisis” where building more housing is the obvious solution. That will lead to secondary costs and problems that could well be crises themselves. Plus I think we have enough housing, it’s just that there aren’t equal opportunities across the country where the housing surplus exists.
Except you can run experiments to falsify the hypothesis.

Perhaps they spend a lot of mental effort not acting out on the average day. Or perhaps the routine has become habitual and they really don’t think about it.

I guess the key word here is unexpected - as in, outside of what you've budgeted for.
Excercise is sort of cheating - that great endorphin rush you get sometimes is basically just your brain directly pushing the happy button, and the health benefits last way longer than money (u less you spend all that money on pizza right after your workout I guess)

> I believe that there are green skinned trunk people living at the edge of Antarctica.

Critical thinking and objective analysis can be applied. If you ask me to believe that,I would ask you to present me with facts I can independently verify.

You mentioned words like 'believe' and 'judge'. What thought process are you following? If your judgement is flexible enough anything is falsifiable to you. Indeed some believe everything is relative and truth comes in shades.

Pascal's wager is interesting because he states truth is binary,which I personally agree. Some things are difficult for people to prove as truth so I think we resort to believability based on varying metrics as opoosed to a binary true/false verdict.

I wonder why this came to be.

This is perhaps a better explanation than the Crucified Canadian: Another (theory) was that Canadians had never forgiven the Germans’ first use of poison gas in 1915, of which Canadian units had been some of the hardest hit.
People don't want to acknowledge such events because they are not simply artifacts of the past. Racism and racist violence is going on right now. Slavery is happening to millions of people in our prisons right now. People don't want to be reminded of our ugly, despicable history and they especially don't want to be reminded of our ugly, despicable present. That would make it harder to continue doing these ugly, despicable things. The people doing these things and supporting these things do not want to stop. Ever. This is the heritage that the South (and the country in general) wants to preserve when they preserve Confederate monuments, a heritage of hate and violence that continues to this day. More importantly they want to preserve the ability to continue these atrocities in the present and future. Unlike Germany after the nazis, Confederate Americans after the civil war did not see their actions, and later the actions of their ancestors, as the despicable, horrific events they were. They were just sad they lost the war. That's still the case with enough of the South now that we have these monuments. If they could bring back slavery, (outside of prisons where it has been preserved) now, I have no doubt that would. By vote or by force.
Rent is definitely not the same soul-crushing experience in most parts of the US as it seems to be in the Bay area.
There's another ancient building technique that doesn't get considered in the modern era: cutting and moving gigantic 10-ton blocks of stone. Sure, it's expensive to cut and move, but a bunch of dudes with rickety boats did it across huge expanses of land and water, and their structures also still stand today.

If the carbon footprint is a concern, it might be a perfect opportunity to propose alternatives to the carbon-intense techniques we've adopted. For example, William Fairbairn invented a hand-powered crane, whose 642-to-1 ratio meant two men turning cranks could lift 60 tons. Our land and water-born vessels could also probably be innovated on with similar efficiency, if it wasn't so damn easy to burn ancient vegetation.
It feels to me like some of these articles (at least past one) and the overwhelming majority of the anti-Prime Day posts on Facebook were written by people that had never worked even a single day at a warehouse job.
The plight of the warehouse worker isn't unique to Amazon by any means. Not even close. From personal experience, I'd say the Amazon fulfillment gigs are way better than ones I did for other companies years ago.
That would invite a monopoly investigations in the EU and possibly the US pretty much instantly.

Ironically intel needs AMD to prove they don’t own the whole market, it’s just blown up this time because AMD nailed it on the architecture and fab side.
They're not really "grafting" it, they're implementing it as a first-class data type.
So he decided he'd figured out her scam without ever bringing it up in yearly or monthly review. He also never asked for proof of the 10 days of sick leave after the first year, which is reasonable to do if he had a suspicion she was flouting a rule. If he wanted to factor sick days into his pay decision, he had a responsibility to make sure he was correct using the proper internal channels.

An alternate and equally plausible view is that she had a condition that rendered her borderline ill more than 10 days a year, but couldn't afford to take unpaid leave. So she just 'toughed it out' instead for the remaining days.

Laughing vindictively as you deny a raise to someone isn't something be lauded or emulated under any circumstance.
To be pedantic, if you mean this sentence:

That's not a split infinitive. It's just a regular proposition "to" attached to a gerund phrase(?) modified by "valiantly".

Don't forget the fact it's firewalling or null routing Akamai's CDN, which will cause seemingly-random services/programs to fail. There doesn't seem to have been a lot of homework performed either; some of those IPs resolve to host names that will be blocked by the HOSTS file changes. I came across one of these scripts with typos in host names which I submitted pull requests for, which were ignored, and then copied to other similar scripts...
Weird! I’d never heard of Alan Lomax until yesterday while reading Ani DiFranco’s memoir, where she waxes poetical about his influence in bringing great voices forward and incredible dedication to recording a wonderfully diverse and inclusive set of musicians for decades.
It is true that not all therapists are good. Not all doctors or lawyers or engineers are good, for that matter.

I will say that people are complicated, and as a person dealing with people it can help to have another person who understands and respects you to help you figure it all out. You have to be ready to listen, though, and that isn't always easy, but when your own understanding of the world fails, it helps to consult another persons to see what you could be missing.

Canada was actually the big brother of the Commonwealth. It was considered to be the "Eldest Daughter" of Britain. Remember, all the other dominions were in worse positions than Canada.
We seem to believe that sick always means some type of physical illness that means we can't work, which is completely wrong. Taking a sick day for mental health is totally OK. Taking a sick day to deal with a sick child or spouse or s.o. is totally OK. Leaving sick days on the table at the end of the year is not something that should be valued, whether they are paid or not. I'm sure HR makes every attempt to spend their entire budget before the year is out, so why should employees be held to a different standard? If you get 10 days, take all 10 days. If your bonus is determined by the number of sick days you take vs. the number given, then you need to find another employer. We need to stop letting this bullshit slide - you should never be penalized for accepting and using the resources given to you.
I'm sure it's a little bit tongue-in-cheek.
> How many of these cash-poor people genuinely are earning enough to live comfortably vs. don't know enough or don't care enough to build savings, and instead, spend up to their income?

Yep. It's obviously ignorance or profligacy. The system is fine, it's the people who are wrong.
What would be the wattage of a typical six inch slide performing calculations as quickly as a top-of-the-line Intel microchip? Or if it would be physically impossible because of speed of light considerations, what would be the wattage of n slide rules in parallel performing such computations such that it adds up to the throughput of a microchip?

The Canadian flag was also the Union Jack until 1965!
True, though that's a tough argument to make when it comes to Air Force privates, who have their day scheduled, no choice of clothing, and written procedures for almost everything they do all day.
Ah yes, you're correct! I'd been drinking when I wrote that so I didn't properly check my claims :)
I'm pretty sure this is true, but there's an extra dimension.

When we look at others around us, we see that the Smiths take a vacation in Europe every year; the Joneses have three kids, each in travel sports leagues; Fred Johnson has a new Corvette; the Harrisons just put in a swimming pool. All those people that we take to be our peers are able to do various expensive things, and from that we generalize that we, too should be able to do those things.

The problem is that such expenditures are probably OK if you're doing one or maybe two of them. But it's hard to see that all those other people are limiting themselves in that way; it's easy to see an illusion that our peers can do all those things, and so we believe that if we're of the same economic class, we ought to be able to do them all as well.
"This has dramatic implications. For it immediately illuminates venerable puzzles concerning what non-human animals can think or experience, and whether they can reason or act for reasons. It sheds no less light on the question of whether machines can think, or whether we shall be able, sometime in the future, to make machines that can think. It is not surprising that Wittgenstein exclaimed ‘How much one must be able to do before one can be said to think’. It has equally dramatic consequences for theology, both for the belief that we survive, bodilessly, after death and for the idea that there can be a supreme thinking being that has no body."

Wittgentein's ideas have echoes and deep relationships with modern subjects like cognitive science and artificial intelligence (and sensitive ones, like religion and beliefs in the supernatural). In the case of AI, what is interesting is that his ideas do not discuss whether it's possible or not to create a thinking machine (i.e. technically or scientifically), but rather what it would really mean (conceptually).
Needs a "/s". I'm still not even sure because that sounds like a legit viewpoint people on HN may have.

While that is the topic, that is not what I was referencing.

In the “War and Peace” there is a passage reading “having quickly finished off the injured, soldiers cleared out the gate so the [transport] could pass unimpeded”.

Read this a few times, and then return to the rest my comment...

... execution of wounded prisoners did not even warrant a whole sentence. That’s literally all Tolstoy wrote about it.

I don’t think he was callous, I think at the time it was the norm and didn’t warrant a mention except in this case the unpleasant task was delaying the transport.

Remember the square-cube law; for two things of different sizes, the difference in surface area is proportional to the square and the difference in volume is proportional to the cube of the difference in sizes.

So, compared to any Earth-bound compost heap, each bit of the sun's surface (wherever you draw the boundary) has more heat-generating interior backing it up.

I was surprised to find on a recent reinstall of Windows 10 that it no longer included the start menu full of sponsored apps and games. It was a pretty minimal install, all things considered. This was with the Education edition which is a derivative of the Pro edition I believe.

I’d also highly recommend the BoxStarter setup scripts [0]. They remove all of the unnecessary default applications, perform windows updates, apply sane developer defaults and install development tooling depending on your needs. It’s a one click run, so it’s a pretty easy way to bootstrap a new install. No negative side effects and have been using them for several years.

Right, but I think you're conflating two things. How a business will successfully offer what consumers want in a sustainable manner and what consumers would want. Saying, that wouldn't be a viable business model doesn't mean that if someone could make it viable it wouldn't allow them to take over the market and shake the industry, since it would deliver on what customers might want most.

And that's kinda what Netflix had set out to do at first, and I'm hoping are still trying to do.
This is really interesting, because this is how later machines did it (at least with sum call instructions). I was actually surprised that the Programming Manual suggested to insert the address directly at the final jump to return.

(Regarding recursion, you could emulate a stack by storing the top of stack in a particular address by convention, say 0000, and fix up the 'r' command on the fly to insert PC+2 at this location. Then, every subroutine would look up 0000 for the top of stack and fix up its final jump to return. However, this would seriously mess up the accumulator and you had to store any return values in another conventional address, etc...)
If you change the User Agent to Chrome you can see that it works pretty well on Firefox actually.

Just like all those threads about searching in the Windows 10 Start Menu, where some commenters always say that search is broken because it never remembers their most used apps and always brings up something obscure.

Presumably they - or some script they didn't really understand - turned off the "Let Windows track app launches to improve Start and search results" setting.
I used to keep very close track of my finances and commented one day at work on how much of our money we spent on our cars. Everyone in the office thought that I was being preposterous and that they spent nothing near that on their cars. Nevermind the fact that I drove the oldest car and lived the closest to work.

Gas / insurance / registration are costs people just generally don't count into car ownership. Probably part of the reason people are so happy to buy SUVs that get terrible mileage.

This OS doesn't require an MMU or protected memory. I wonder if a processor architecture that lacks those features could yield much higher performance due to less complexity, reduced memory latency or less cache miss penalty. Will it be enough to mitigate the perormance penalty of runing code in the Dis VM?
