Pedantry ahoy! part II:

Sound intensity is a measure of power (power through a unit area), and is useful for determining the distribution of sound emissions (directivity) from a source.

Sound pressure level, is, well, a measure sound pressure. Sound pressure is related to sound intensity providing you know the directivity and distance to the source.

This is a nitpick of s nitpick, and SPL is often used interchangeably with the word intensity in lay documents. But if you're reading an acoustic journal article or text book and see the word intensity, just be aware that they are likely not discussing pressure level.
Kokkos (as in the C++ template frame work and a lot of tools to get insights into bottle necks) is opens source. See https://github.com/kokkos/kokkos and https://github.com/kokkos/kokkos-tools . They take pull requests and react to bug reports. They even plan to upstream some things from kokkos (such as multi-dimensional arrays) into future C++ standards.

The mission related codes based on kokkos are very much not open source.

Invasive tracking is still possible.

What those companies do not want is to invest big money into "advisors" that help them to be complient with GDPR. A law that was not even made by their own government.

Complience not only means "get consent". There is a long list of things you have to do, regardless of who or what you are tracking. And then you still don't have certainty if you are all legal, because there are so many details that courts will have to interpret first. And then they may be interpreted differently in different EU countries (because we all have our own national version of GDPR!)

So, in conclusion, study this: https://gdpr.eu/ or simply block users you don't care about anyways.

I think that's what they are arguing with - if you increase number of entangled qubits - your error rate will explode the same way that your "computational potential". If that's the case then the whole quantum computing has a huge problem, you'd have to cool it down closer and closer to absolute zero. Having more machines that do poor calculation won't help here - you'll end up with a farm of expensive fridges. Just for the record - I want this to be false, quantum computing will hopefully work.

For CGI you have to maintain a server running Apache or some other web server software and persistent storage for a copy of your script along with a means of deploying them. You are limited to concurrency equal to the number of cores/threads and memory on your server or you have to manage some means of load balancing between multiple servers which you maintain along with deploying your script to each of them.

Certainly you could run a cluster of servers or even an auto-scale group of servers with all of your cgi programs and handle lots of http requests. Serverless/Lambda means you don't have to do this.

Also, not all lambda's are handling http requests, so you'll need to figure out the best way to deal with other events and monitor queues, etc.
No resource but there is a similar conversion trick for kilometers to miles. Divide by two and add a tenth. viz: 60 km = 60/2 + 60/10 = 30+6 = 36 miles. Not exact but near enough for many cases.

Amen to this. We recently ended our engagement with a very well-known Ruby consulting shop for exactly this reason.

Their engineers were very smart and wrote very pretty code.

However it was not suitable for the real world once even a little bit of scaling was required, and this was an app that needed to store and move a fair bit of data as a Day 1 requirement.

The real tragedy is that they were fairly arrogant about it. They didn't know what they didn't know. It's OK to not know how to build things at scale.... as long as you know that's not one of your core competencies. I don't know how to fly a plane, or create a design system, or write assembly code. That's OK, because I know my limitations there.

However, these folks were arrogant and dismissive about scaling concerns.

Well, they were dismissed as a result of their dismissiveness.

Which is a shame, because they did have some talent there.

Unfortunately, it seems the only way to have a field where Wall Street/commercial entities aren't involved is to have one where it's illegal to make money off said field. For instance, game mods/fan works tend to be a lot like web development or content creation from the early days of the internet, since it's literally illegal to run a business that creates and sells them. One of the reasons I follow the progress of said scenes a lot, because they're some of the few communities I know of where wealth isn't really an advantage.

And what about object-oriented programming vs functional programming? Performance-wise, that is.
With begin()/end() it's probably fine, but for-each loops it's not a great idea since then you run into problems when there was a cast intended. The main (only?) example of this pattern in the standard is vector<bool>, so of course people's immediate reaction to blame this on vector<bool>. However that's just the example currently in the standard, and people use it for other things too. By using auto you end up writing code that can break. Example:

typedef std::vector<bool> Vec;
Vec f(1, false);
for (typename Vec::value_type &&x : f) { std::cout << typeid(x).name() << std::endl; }
for (auto &&x : f) { std::cout << typeid(x).name() << std::endl; }

There are a few populations without (much) staple carbs, for example the Inuit and the Maasai. But I don't think many people solely blame carbs. It's processed carbs and sugar, hyper-palatable foods, lack of sleep, lack of sun exposure, microbiome damage from antibiotics, and a ton of other lifestyle factors.

But once you're in a compromised state (autoimmune, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, etc.), the ketogenic diet can be a very good way to treat or reverse those conditions. It doesn't mean that no one can eat carbs, it just means there are a lot of people who really do benefit from it.
Here's I found a source for this: Stanley P. Frankel on the design of MINAC and the LGP-30 in IRE Transactions on Electronic Computers.

As societies get richer and more sedentary they do get more diabetic and obese though. That’s not really due to carbs existing of course - but as we get easier access to luxury ultra rich foods it causes a lot of problems.
Apparently Inuit people are actually fine on carbs because the meat they eat tends to retain its glycogen stores better because of the arctic conditions.
I think typing isn't my issue (so far), but rather the performance. On one hand, it's one less thing to think about while figuring out a problem, but on the other hand, it might reduce the performance of my solution, and in that case, going back and refactoring the code to use the correct types would be a waste of time...
It takes a little longer to load, but it also lets you continue working while your train goes through a no-internet zone.

I know you're just trying to exploit the somewhat widespread cynicism and accusations of hypocriticism for humor, but that just isn't how it works.

While fines are routinely used against citizen, companies, and other private entities to force compliance with the law, the absence of fines in the relationship between courts and the executive quite obviously does not imply that the government is free to ignore the law.

This should be obvious, considering there are lawsuits against the government in the news every week. Fines are simply not necessary because public servants are duty-bound to follow court orders. In modern democracies, this is not just theory. Ignoring a court's order is virtually unheard of. It would be a major breech of the rule of law, a tenet more central to democracy than even voting. I wouldn't want to see what happens, although the risk has certainly risen in the last, say, two years, at least in the US.

HN uses the "old fashioned" approach of rendering everything server side and every link forces a page reload and I wouldn't describe the experience as "jarring and discontinuous".

I believe the only upside is that site framing (headers, navbars, side menus, etc etc) doesn't flicker or jump around reflowing as you navigate across pages. Which is I think why almost every "webapp" out there does this - to provide visually continuous experience, even if this client-side intra-screen navigation is slower.

Surely, on a fast-enough connections this flicker is essentially invisible, but if your connection is far from perfect (crappy hotel WiFi or poor cellular reception), it is certainly well noticeable.

Also, it's easier to persist some state across the navigations. Like making it trivial for those (annoying) on-page support chat overlays not losing message history.

This rationale only applies to web "apps", not documents, of course.

> Objects are actually arbitrary mixtures of lower level primitives: functions and data.

A well-chosen object is a grouping of a set of data items that are closely related to each other, and the functions that act on them. It's almost the exact opposite of arbitrary.

Your programs are going to be a mixture of data and functions. Why should the lower-level building blocks not be the same?
No.

> the sort of thing people already monitor

Exactly! So it's a devops solution either way. The choice is between one based on system-level monitoring and one based on tool-level error reporting. In neither case does a non-broken fsync() actually fix anyone's problem.

My point was that I don't see tools like remount-ro and dmesg monitoring as "workarounds" for an underlying problem. They're correct solutions implemented at the right level of abstraction. They just happen not to be shipped with PostgreSQL, which... I mean, yeah, basically I don't care much either way.

Oh, that's the easy one. It's half-assed because it's hard as hell to do a good job replacing the browser navigation. It shouldn't be surprising, since browsers are huge pieces of software made basically for displaying content and navigation, it's not reasonable to expect every web page to competently replace half of that job.

> A big one we’re seeing here is called progressive rendering: browsers download the top part of the page first, then show it on the screen while the rest of the page finishes downloading

I question your reasoning here -- I don't think this is how progressive rendering works in browsers. The browser has to download the entire document to construct the DOM, and CSS in the head tag all has to be downloaded and parsed into the CSSOM before the browser can make smart decisions about what to render.

For a simple page, I also doubt that progressive rendering could account for a >1s difference in rendering time. I would suspect the disparity in loading time is related to network IO.
AFAIK it works without js as well :-)
