The Barcelona chips initially had a pretty nasty bug in the TLB. AMD stopped shipments for about 5 months so they could put out a new stepping with the bug fixed. The Istanbul chips arrived a few months after Intel's Nehalem, which is where Intel caught up with features like the on-die memory controller and started roughly a decade of unchallenged performance lead.
The unexpected ways that product managers can benefit from UX design
I think we're saying the same thing.

What I said, rephrased for clarity: It used to be 5% for all features. That's what the 8% plan is now. The new and current 5% plan is the stripped down version.

What you said, by my understanding: the 8% plan contains what used to be the only option [standard, by my phrasing] at 5%.

I don't see any disagreement unless you were referring to the discounts given to existing creators. I'm talking about the new creator rates.

Don't know sctb, but I have had run-ins with dang on multiple occasions where he asked me to stop arguing when I felt I wasn't being hostile. Nonetheless, it's always in a very moderate tone of doing his job, rather than trying to express power, and I respect that. (Nor am I implying that I didn't take the arguments too far, in some cases I did)

The real proof that they do their job though is that I can still occasionally fine deep insights here that just aren't available in other places.

There is no Pi with 10G ethernet. New Pi4 has only Gigabit ethernet, Pi 3B+ has Gigabit Ethernet over USB 2.0 (maximum throughput 300 Mbps).

The idea is interesting, did some calculation.
For v1 camera capturing 640xH frames can be done at framerate "42755/H+13".
Lets forget about the 13.
raspiraw transfers raw10 Bayer data, that is 640xHx1.25 bytes, with maximal framerate that gives 42755x640x1.25=34204000 bytes/s=261Mbit/s(!).

So you definitely need Gigabit ethernet of the Pi4, not sure whether Pi4 can actually stream out 261Mbit without losing stuff though ...

Just asked on Raspberry networking forum (261Mbps for v1, 464Mbps for v2):

Funny how that is different in different parts of the city. I'm in Astoria and USPS is the only reliable carrier for my packages.

UPS is okay but they don't have the key so often can't get into the building.

Fedex just straight up lies about deliveries and often never attempts them. By far the worst carrier.
While I don't think the phenomenon would completely vanish without the VC funded bubble, I have to think that it has exacerbated it significantly.

But, you know, I guess we'll find out sometime in the next couple years.
Of course they did! NSA issued an RFP for Skype intercept in 2009 [1] and everyone assumed that MS took them up on it:

>An industry source disclosed that America's supersecret National Security Agency (NSA) is offering "billions" to any firm which can offer reliable eavesdropping on Skype IM and voice traffic.

And then Snowden revelations confirmed that MS was intercepting Skype [2]:

>Microsoft has collaborated closely with US intelligence services to allow users' communications to be intercepted, including helping the National Security Agency to circumvent the company's own encryption, according to top-secret documents obtained by the Guardian.

>In July last year, nine months after Microsoft bought Skype, the NSA boasted that a new capability had tripled the amount of Skype video calls being collected through Prism;

In CPython, a list comprehension looks like this internally:

dis.dis(lambda y: [x + 1 for x in y])
1 0 LOAD_CONST 1 (<code object <listcomp> at 0x106f441e0, file "<ipython-input-2-1f82f6afa2d5>", line 1>)
2 LOAD_CONST 2 ('<lambda>.<locals>.<listcomp>')
4 MAKE_FUNCTION 0
6 LOAD_FAST 0 (y)
8 GET_ITER
10 CALL_FUNCTION 1
12 RETURN_VALUE

Disassembly of <code object <listcomp> at 0x106f441e0, file "<ipython-input-2-1f82f6afa2d5>", line 1>:
1 0 BUILD_LIST 0
2 LOAD_FAST 0 (.0)
>> 4 FOR_ITER 12 (to 18)
6 STORE_FAST 1 (x)
8 LOAD_FAST 1 (x)
10 LOAD_CONST 0 (1)
12 BINARY_ADD
14 LIST_APPEND 2
16 JUMP_ABSOLUTE 4
>> 18 RETURN_VALUE

You get very similar disassembled code to this:

def foo(y):
def bar():
l = []
a = l.append
for x in y:
a(x + 1)
return l
return bar()

Obviously you can't use the `LIST_APPEND` primitive in a for loop. Also, note that CPython doesn't try to preallocate the list. `l = [None] * len(y)` and then iterating over a range might beat a comprehension for long lists.

The performance story with numba and numpy is basically that you have a boundary between Python and their internal representation of data, and crossing that boundary is slow.

For instance, in numpy, even if you specify a dtype, `np.array` must check and cast every element to that type. Likewise, `tolist` must construct new python objects for every value in the array.

Once you're dealing with ndarrays, though, operations are fast as the array has a single type and the code is heavily optimized. But iterating over ndarrays from python tends to be worse than native Python containers.

Numba is a mixed bag. It's no worse than numpy at interpreting ndarrays, and bad with Python containers. It has to inspect arguments to call a JITted function, and this can be far more surprising than numpy.

But if you can combine many JITted functions, you can combine a lot of logic and completely avoid introspection in a way you can't do with numpy alone. The difficulty of doing that is simply that it's having to reimplement many of the numpy features in an early-binding language.
A species which by dint of evolutionary happenstance has skirted limits on reproduction and consumption goes ahead to strip its habitat. Big surprise (said no ecologist ever).

A pity in this case its habitat is a whole planet, but that's life (and death). I wonder if something like this eventually happens on every living world, and if the overrunning species generally comes to harbour a comforting superstition that basic biology doesn't apply to it in its magnificent superior aloneness?
Haha, I never realised it was that immature.

As an aside: Being a tech I have been asked numerous times by non-techs "What actually is AI?"

Also, fork() essentially requires overcommit but many people resist spawn() because it isn't "minimal" or whatever.

Well, all right, but aren't there clients who legally have to invest in instruments that have at least rating X?
Personally, I think part of what it comes down to is respect for the people in question. "We didn't tell you because statistically you're not likely to do the right thing if anything" shows a lack of respect for people and their ability to determine their perceived best action and follow through with it.

If people really can't be bothered to follow through with what's going on, then they'll offload that responsibility to someone else if it's important enough. We already do that with IT for companies, and Anti-virus for a lot of people at home (as much as I think most those companies focus on the wrong thing)[1]. Adding information to the system allows that market to be more efficient and useful.

1: I would love to live in a world where most the protection was a combination of the OS and application vendors patching their own software, and protection consultant/anti-virus companies that knew what software you ran giving you good information on what you should and should not do on a regular basis of for short periods until something is fixed, etc. I think that's a much more valuable service than "we scan all your incoming and outgoing mail and make your computer so slow and unresponsive you think you need to buy a new one".
Making energy more expensive makes everything more expensive. Those at the margins will find themselves even closer to the edge, while those who thought they were secure find themselves less so. The vouchers and whatnot that were supposed to offset the effects are mostly captured by the same type of rent-seekers and parasites that capture nearly any other form of aid. Widespread unrest and starvation result.
The article is interesting but not for the face value.

On the surface, the comparison is rather weak because it is comparing loops in a dynamic language to optimized, low-level vector operations. Which is, you know, "whoa, low-level hand-optimized routines are faster than Python", or, as I said, weak.

The interesting bit is that Python cannot figure out that it could unroll or vectorize these, rather simple, operations. Surely there are languages with optimizers that can figure that out. Is that impossible to do in Python? Is that by design or by accident?

And, as many people said, if you are doing a lot of math in pure Python, you are doing it wrong. There are other, much more useful, ways to use loops. I like Python especially because it beautifully handles those "other cases".

There are issues both in general regarding speculative execution, and also Intel Specific errors in their implementation of speculative execution.

The combined issues of these two aspects of the mistake in the theory of speculative execution as well as the implementation is what makes it so bad for Intel vs any one else on the market.

Lots of first world countries (including the United States, although admittedly not as fast as we could) are cutting emissions by either market forces or government fiat. By "No country", we're really talking about China and India.
The other thing is, programmers love re-inventing things. Its the standard programmer mindset of wanting to work on problems that are one or two levels of difficulty over their currently capability. And so, they fuck shit up, because only someone whose been in the weeds, knows the ins, outs and the corner cases, is capable actually doing a good job. (IMHO, $0.02, YMMV etc)
Europe (as a patchwork of easily accessible jurisdictions) is almost perfect for me, but the lack of recreational weed is such a stark in-congruency.

This Luxembourg plan is a good start but:

- legalization in 5 years

- non-residents cant buy

This is still so odd and ridiculous

Even Portugal doesnt regulate the cultivation and sale of weed. So there is no lit market anywhere and the quality all sucks.

Its like come on Germany or someone central, legalize it.

You got girls running around regulated decadent brothels hiding weed and party favors from the cops like its high school. Combinations that are like really? Thats what we’re worried about here?

So like I said, almost perfect.

While this is occasionally true, I believe it is most of the time not true. Many, many features (e.g. endless scrolling) get pushed out to consumers who don't want it. By and large, consumers of websites want text and images. The push to put embedded video, lots of ajaxy updating of content, etc. has happened on countless newspaper, magazine, and other websites where all the consumer wants is the words and the images. Many features, like allowing comments, are actively disliked by the vast majority of users. There are, certainly, a few corners of the web that need more than static html, but >90% of the websites in existence that are _not_ static html, should be, and the consumers would like them better that way.

Is it because of the structural complexity of individual buildings (e.g. kitsch ornamentation) or could it be just the color and texture (e.g. people hating flat grey walls)?

A painted and decorated facade could change the exterior impression completely.

In general, they're not really a completely open border. They're pretty strict about who they let in. They'll check into your US 'criminal record' and make judgements based on that. (A bit of an overeach.. but a bit weird if you have a DUI and they reject you [that's their policy])

I was really confused until I scrolled through your landing page and I learned from examples.
It's mostly used in various education projects, and various commercial and research projects that are largely done by a single strong programmer (e.g., Carmack-ish people).

There's at least one large-codebase complex Web-based production system in it, which incidentally accomplished a first on AWS, but you've never heard of it, since it's internal-ish. It was a happy accident of history, that grew out of a lone super-productive programmer starting a complex data science infrastructure that I'd say few teams could've pulled off in a non-Lisp.

I've been waiting for another startup to decide they're going to do their first version in Racket, to do something non-cookiecutter. (It turned out neither myself nor my own startup co-founder had any interest in doing the CEO side of things, or I would've launched such a startup already.) But anything Scheme-related has a terrible curse for perception: students associate it with academic oddities in first-year classes, and then they focus on whatever "real" tools they hear employers or other companies are using.
Do you have a definition of tourism that doesn't imply travelling ?

The only point of comparison I have is amsterdam and people are definitely flying/road tripping there for short "drug vacations" (I genuinely think everyone I know has been there at least once for that purpose), which in my book is not so good for the environment and a more than debatable reason to fly/drive hundreds of kms.

This is not really a security hole. It's the intended behavior. Web developers (should) know that they are exposing all user behavior to the third-party code they bring in. The solution is to "no do that", but developers tend to choose convenience over safety, as do their clients, as do their clients users.

Really like the premise of this! But, as an individual contributor with hiring / leadership / planning responsibilities, I found that a lot of my highest priority work actually happens in the time between my calendar events.

The structure of this tool makes me think there should be a 1:1 mapping of hours worked to calendar events. Maybe it's a better fit for someone with the "manager's schedule" [1], or maybe you all do a better job of blocking out time for individual work on your calendars?

I see a lot of value in a tool like this though! The calendar rebalancing I frequently find myself doing is grouping like meetings (stacking interviews back to back) and maximizing the duration of meeting-free blocks of time (putting as many meetings on Monday as possible to free up later days in the week). If this could happen without me thinking about it I'd love it!
