People like to say "synthetic benchmarks have no relevance to the real world" to sound smart, but that isn't ever entirely true. They are all relevant to soem degree. Somewhere in the world is a real task that looks like any given synthetic benchmark. The danger is that the real world use cases that show some relevance with the synthetic benchmark may be more or less rare.

In this case, there are whole suites of benchmarks and real applications that have been compared between the new Epyc's and the Xeons and the only time Xeon has been on part with Epyc that I have seen so far is AVX-512 specific workloads. It is possible there may be some workloads where the worse ram latency of Epyc is a penalty that cannot be overcome by the larger L3 cache size. That used to be an issue on the previous gen Epyc, but the infinity fabric is faster now and the L3 caches are twice as big.

> One can’t help but wonder, was it worth all the fuss to save a mansion that sells McDoubles and McFlurrys—a McMansion, if you will? Are teal Golden Arches really strengthening the heritage of the Southwest? Are faux Greek Revival columns at the drive-thru window really changing perceptions about the quality of a humdrum suburb? At the same time that we likely overestimate the placemaking powers of preserving and designing by committee, perhaps there’s underappreciated wisdom in just letting a McDonald’s be a McDonald’s.

Isn't there also an underappreciated wisdom in just not letting there be a McDonald's in your community?

Yes it is, however it is much more difficult to tell if said binary has been tampered with if you can't reliably build the exact same binary.
Whether or not it was the sole reason, the CBP document certainly made significant note of the "possible terroristic images" on his phone.

This seems to be a rather significant story for our age - border agents can search your private email and messaging history, then judge you based (at least partly) on content that you might not even know is there.

Do you know for certain that every image you've ever received in every messenger is "safe" in every context? I sure as hell wouldn't let anyone dig through my phone. They can steal ("confiscate") it first.

This issue is very much on-topic for HN.

> I do hope people eventually come to the conclusion that everyone says regrettable things on occasion so they can stop digging through endless archives of comments and posts looking for dirt. I feel this is a huge component of why people want deletion.

I don't think that's going to happen until society agrees that such digging is universally immoral. Until then, people are going to listen when the results are publicized.

> Excuse for what? SO has the UI instruction that you /should/, as a user who agreed to follow the rules, downvote low effort questions which show no research.
Agreeing to follow the site rules, then not following the site rules and deciding it should be run the way you want it to be run instead, isn't good for the site either.

How many questions that get downvoted actually haven't done any research? I've seen a ton of those that have done their research and have gotten downvoted. In addition to those I have personal experience where I list what I've tried and found, and still get downvoted. I have to say, not listing any research has ended up better for me.

It's an excuse for just downvoting without really a good, constructive reason. It's absolutely fallacious to keep iterating over the same "it's a feature, not a bug" argument, the existence of a guideline is not a good reason for the guideline to exist, same applies to the Stack Overflow Meta as well.

> Saying that people "should be held accountable" for their downvotes on an internet site is not "provable by means of experiment", it's "people I disagree with should be punished".

How is "explain why you are downvoting" a punishment if what you're doing is actually reasonable? If you feel you are punished when you have to explain why then you shouldn't downvote.

> Calling people "snarky asses" is not experimental, it's subjective interpretation.

It's your interpretation of "snarky ass" you can't detect by observation of comments. I myself can verify by observation that such comments exist.

> Describing downvoting as lacking empathy, on a site where downvotes are intended to describe the question not the author, is subjective interpretation.

You're definitely lacking empathy right now if you don not see that downvotes will never have the "intention" you said, at least for most people.

Oh, and let's not forget, it's not a subjective interpretation that people get negative emotions towards random downvotes being thrown at them, it's very visibly observable one, might even say it's empirical.

I'm a little confused by this approach; are there any non-essential containers in your suggested architecture? This sounds like the watchdog container is just a parent process that launches a bunch of subprocesses, which is definitely a workable solution, although not the one we decided to use. If there are primitives for an essential container to inspect container state and relaunch other containers in the task, that'd be great to know about.

Stacey Abrams? The politician?
What? I've never heard this reasoning before.

The real reason is, I only really play csgo and pubg, I have X$ to spend on a CPU. Previously if you looked at them market, tier-to-tier amd vs intel - intel always was the stronger performer at the CSGO. Why spend X$ and get 250fps when you can spend the same and get 300fps?
When I first read the title, I thought maybe it was because everyone was simply getting around it in the various ways they do, and so they wouldn't notice it for lack of it ever being rendered on their screen.

It could also mean that people click away from it so fast they have no idea what's being advertised, and thus don't notice the changes.

But less pessimistically, it actually chronicles a Change Management process that worked out well in the end.
I think a lot of cross platform games have been optimised to use lots of CPU cores, since the modern consoles currently have 8. If you're running an older CPU with less cores, even if they're more powerful, you're starting to see performance drags, that was especially the case for BF1.
Did you A/B test?

Seriously though, I think you are possibly correct but it may also be unfairly projecting the racism of our society onto someone else's.
I think the main reason people like using lightweight markup languages is because they don't have to depend on any special tools. I can comfortably edit markdown in any text editor, whether I'm using VS Code on my laptop, Notepad on a public library PC, Vim on a remote server, a form in my source host's web interface, or whatever it is that people use to edit text on phones. And I don't need to worry about the status of someone's proprietary hobby project.
I just find it amusing that anyone ever thought otherwise. At the end of the day, having capital means you don't have to have a job while you're in school, you can do extracurriculars to gain a leg up, you can start a business, or you'll have friends in high places or who own business to network with and get jobs from.

Self-preservation is in everyone's nature. If you're rich, you're going to do the most for your family, your children and you're going to make sure it stays that way.

Education doesn't lead to social mobility, redistribution of wealth does. The countries with the most social mobility as well as the most equality have fairly 'socialist' political and economic systems. Of course, going full communist has been shown to have disastrous effects, so there's obviously a balance somewhere, but it seems that in the US and UK for sure the systems are still tipped a little too much towards the rich.
I'd say a major quality problem in cheap watches is water resistance. Before I knew much about diving, I tried snorkeling with a couple really cheap watches. They both died. There are some good cheap dive watches, like the Casio MDV106-1A. But in general I wouldn't want to get a cheap watch wet. 30m WR just won't cut it.
There are diets that make much easier to reduce calories intake. Low-carb high-fat is one that do that for me. Intermittent fasting too. It is counter productive for me to dismiss all of these as just ways to disguise calories intake reduction.

But not only that, I don't think it is as simples as "a calorie is a calorie". Different food are digested differently and trigger different responses for the body. To use an ad absurdum example, if I drink gasoline I don't get fat.
There are a lot of factors contributing here, but kids today, probably more than in Leary's days, need to turn on, tune in, and drop out.

Let's build a list of tech influencers in different cities/countries
Hello hackers, I was planning an event in Copenhagen recently and thought to connect with local tech influencers to promote it.

I was looking for people/organizations who have the attention of Founders, CEO, CTO, Product managers, Engineering managers - those who manage remote developers.

The search wasn't successful. Maybe there is a service for this problem?

Let's build a list here, it could be useful for the entire community.

I wouldn't say that's a very bad analogy, considering that pressure is a good example of entropic force:

I went from a i5-7600k to a i7-8700k and noticed decent performance increases with my GTX 1070. (CS is netoriously CPU bound). I've since upgraded to a 1080ti, I don't know how much performance was from the cpu upgrade and how much was due to the extra cores the rest of the system could use without interfering with the game.
I have a more dark and cynical outlook on UFOs and their continued presence in our culture. I watch Joe Rogan and I saw most of his interaction with Lazar as well as his even weirder interaction with Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge. In both cases I got the impression that they were dupes. Tom had these crazy stories about high-level military officers bouncing him around between each other. They all seemed to be giving him a wink-and-nudge that he was on to something and he should keep digging. They actively encouraged him to publicly share whatever he learned.

I have a suspicion that there is an old-boys-club of high-level military guys pushing UFO conspiracies for some purpose. At the very least, muddying the waters can help mask any civilian reports of potential classified aircraft. At the worst it can act as a lightening rod to redirect public thirst for unearthing military secrets. When guys like Bob Lazar and Tom DeLonge show up they must be happy to get free dissemination of their programs.

I'd even go so far to believe that Bob could have been one of a few that were set up by the military using an elaborate stage-show with the hope of creating false leaks. The idea of the military staging the kind of things Bob reports after psychologically filtering for types of people who believably exaggerate is not beyond possibility in my mind. You may not have to work very hard at tricking someone if you find the kind of person who really wants to be tricked.
> [...] architecture from a time when "maximizing profit" wasn't the only thing ever considered in building.

> why do you think that the older buildings didn't "maximize profit" for their creators?

"Maximizing profit" was not the only thing considered and maximizing profit should never be the only thing considered. The idea that maximizing profit is the most important thing or the only thing is a radioactive idea that is poisoning western civilization.
Agreed. I think the purpose of papers like this is not to advocate for the therapy today, but to encourage scientists and research funding figures to more seriously investigate the phenomenon.

As others here have noted, the past studies have been quite small, and because the treated study participants experience hunger, adding a blinded control group is difficult. These faults will have to be addressed before results are actionable clinically. But if they appear promising, there may be creative ways to address them, if the researchers do get sufficient motivation and funding.
I had this meta effect happen to me on one of my answer[1]. I mistakenly accused a downvote on my answer as retaliatory and asked on meta if there were any actions available. The meta effect came in full swing, the meta tread quickly became quite toxic (I suggested closing it for that reason but was refused) and my answer got even more downvotes.

This experience really caught me off guard. My experience with online communities has never been so hostile before. At the time I was taking a conscious effort and try to contribute back to SO, however this experience pushed me back. I’ve made a few contributions since then, but they probably would have been far more if people wouldn’t have been so hostile towards me in that meta thread.

PS. I suspect the first downvote on my answer was because my answer was posted with a modern CSS, and I feel like (without having any evidence for) there are some people that actively downvote good HTML/CSS/JavaScript answers that use new syntax and features, while never explaining why the answer is “bad” in any way.

> I.e those not on benefits

Why do you think people claiming benefits get free transport?
It sounds like you know a lot more about this stuff than me. It is my fault in so much as I should have used more precise language. What I meant by 'calorie counting is a myth' is that a calorie reduction diet is a myth. Sorry for the confusion. Also, I admit, I could be wrong. I'm going off of the research I have done.

That said, there is a lot of stuff happening in our body with regards to our food intake that I had no idea about. Insulin, ghrelin, leptin, and of course, testosterone for a man, is extremely important. Even limiting xenoestrogens as a man is extremely important.

Also, people seem to forget somehow that your body can excrete calories.

I agree with you about the problem of "people will try to eat the same types of food (high-caloric-density), just less of it". In the past, I tried a vegetarian, calorie-restricted diet, and I just felt hungry all the time. It wasn't a one for one diet to what I eat now, but it about the same.

In terms of why intermittent fasting works, I don't know for sure, but from what I have read, your body's metabolism doesn't crash because your feeding window controls the ghrelin in your system. With your metabolism maintained, and by only drinking water during the 16-hour fast period, your body is forced to consume your fat stores for energy.

Having said all that, you could be right... perhaps I just consumed fewer calories as the plant-based diet was just less calorie-dense. The volume of food may have made it feel like I was eating more when I wasn't. Honestly, I just don't know for sure.
This was posted before and is just as silly as it was then.

Being born rich _is_ success.

Here, have a look at a representative sample of images: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=new+orleans+french+quarter&bext=ms...

Just look at any of those wrought iron railings. From a purely functional viewpoint they could do their job of being a railing to stop you from falling off the balcony with a series of plain vertical bars. But they are these elaborate concoctions of decoration and detail that someone had to cast, bend, and shape. You'll find similar aesthetic choices made throughout the city; a lot of houses have wrought iron bars over their windows to deter breakins, and very few of them are the simplest, cheapest design possible, for instance.

I am quite sure these buildings have made a profit; hell, the ones in the French Quarter are a big part of the modern tourist economy that draws people and money from all over. But there are a lot of details all over that serve purely to make the buildings pleasing to live and work in, which tend to be the first thing to go in modern architecture driven entirely by maximizing profits (and also still in love with the inhuman brutalist visions of people like Le Corbusier, when it comes to building housing).

Unfortunately this is in the abstract.

"Our main findings are that (1) very few studies have been carried out, addressing this issue, (2) evidence concerning quality of life and compliance to treatment is contrasting and scarce, and (3) generally speaking, few patients ask their physicians whether they can safely fast or not. For these reasons, further research should be performed, given the relevance and importance of this topic."

> Going back to the vegetable example, you could eat several kg of green vegetables every day and continue to lose weight.

This is just not true. Anecdotally I know multiple obese vegans, but that aside at the end of the day it's calories burned vs calories consumed.

Generally speaking 1 lb = 3,500 calories[1]. What you're essentially arguing is that the caloric measurement of vegetables is wrong, that they're over-estimated, and you can secretly eat "kilograms" of extra vegetables and not get fat.

You gain weight from taking in more calories than you burn. You can take in too many calories from vegetables. It all depends on your lifestyle.

[edit: 3,500 calories, not 3,000. Sources: https://www.google.com/search?q=3500+calories+1+lb&oq=3500+c...]

Why would they make it on initial load and not have a confirmation step + a list of supported sites first? Is it for trolling?
While there of course are some outliers if you take completely extreme examples generally it is true when it comes to weight loss.

Eating 2000 kcal of vegetables is the same as eating 2000 kcal of bread and meat.
A lot of the times, "right" and "wrong" depends on context. An answer that works for me may be the wrong answer for you. But the "accepted answer" mechanic is useful as a way for the asker to communicate to the site as a whole that the question is no longer in pending status, and that others who are browsing around to see what needs to be answered can move on to other questions.
> No, calories vary massively. If someone ate 2000 calories of vegetables each day and someone else ate 2000 calories of sugar there would be a huge amount of difference between their nutrition.

What? Yes, but calorie wise it's the same. You mix up IIFYM-critique points with calories.

> Going back to the vegetable example, you could eat several kg of green vegetables every day and continue to lose weight.

Because they have close to no calories.
The benchmark you linked to somewhat misses the point I'm trying to make. It's specifically comparing the 4.0 branch (4.12-4.20) to 5.0 on the same distribution. The distribution is also a factor in performence. Check out this benchmark comparing CentOS 7 to other distributions on the same hardware:

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=5distros...

CentOS 7 is slower in most of the tests compared to a recent version of Ubuntu (17.10 was used in this comparison), which itself is slower than Clear Linux in most tests.
>I workout everyday when I wake up

I read that you shouldn't put too much strain/weight on joints within an hour of getting up in the morning, because there is more liquid in the joints.

I didn't do any research on it because I don't work out in the morning anyway, so this may well be complete bullshit. Just mentioning it in case you want to get to the bottom of it.
The question sounds a bit nonsensical to me tbh.
