This isn't killing sometime to save a group, though. This is guilt by association. And it isn't even that (that's just the dishonest justification), it's just a shady hope that by detaining this fraudster's incident offspring, they can lure him back to China to arrest him. It's disgusting and reprehensible.
You don't still have those maps? My phones have malfunctioned or lost service often enough that I still own paper maps and have even sometimes used them. I'd hate to be without paper maps as a fallback (and they're hardly an inconvenience, the only reason they leave my passenger seat pocket is if I need them.)
In terms of component failure handling, there's very little difference nowadays between a cluster of x86 servers running well-written software connected with high performance network and cluster management system vs mainframe - why should there be, since there's no "magical" advantage mainframes have.

Almost all value of mainframe lies in software compatibility. There's no theoretical or practical advantage they have over clusters of x86 servers.
Also agree. The domain I bought for my family (my wife and myself) is hyphenated after our surnames and it time and again has been a pain to dictate to 3rd party.
Constant speedup, but you need to optimize for page size; if you optimized for the wrong page size, you may get a lower constant, perhaps even < 1.

And the computation is much less trivial.

Still, an interesting and important observation - page sizes change every decade or two, and almost exclusively upwards, so this is worth pursuing if you need to squeeze more speed from your heap.
How does one mention Gitmo and forget about it in the very next sentence???
Now, I'm _really_ not an emulator expert, but as I recall both snes9x and zsnes will read rom dumps from zip files. So it seems to be possible to do this without too much cooperation.

If archivers started including useful metadata in addition to the rom dumps, I'm sure the emulators would start to use it as well.

Or maybe the archivers are the problem?

Banks work because processes performed by humans that were developed before digital computers were invented, not because technology. They have logs of all transactions and are willing to reconcile them manually and are insured/lawyered against loss when they can't reverse an erroneous transfer. Money can take two business days to move instead of milliseconds, and their customers are mostly fine with this.

Programmers are taught that database transactions exist so that when you move money from one account to another and crash in the middle, no money is ever created or destroyed. Well, cat picture websites might do that, but banks don't. They reconcile logs at end of day.
Because you use your full body for it. More with nerf, less with board games, but still a different body sensation.

> if you need to squeeze more speed from your heap

Everyone needs to "squeeze more speed from their heap". CPU-bound problems are quite rare in modern software - despite the legions of software engineers who will stare at a CPU profile that says 100% utilisation, and declare "it's CPU bound, nothing to be done".

(this is a pet peeve of mine, in case you couldn't tell)
Yes, absolutely.

The workflow would be: sort about 10% of the pieces in a test, use that to determine which sets are present based on the rare pieces, then pull those out of the bulk in one pass, it can do 12 sets in one go. Then you do it all over again until there is no more left.

Working in the weekend without pay seems like a problem of your employer and not you. By asking "can you work in the weekend because blabla" he puts that problem onto you. The trick is to point the problem back to him. For example you can say "seems like you need to hire another person, is that planned already?". Or "You need to put a better planning in order" etc.

Try to get concrete plans and dates out of him, and then use that as excuse to not do things "we agreed you would hire someone else at x, you didn't do that, and now I have plans for the weekend. Better make work of that soon!"

He will always try to find excuses, but try to steer the problem to him. Because in the end, it is a failing on his side that you need to work in the weekend, make it very clear it's his fuckup, and if he doesn't fix it soon, it will be him in shit and not you anymore.

Thank you. Doing anything for a long time is hard, I can't wait to be free again to do other stuff. In 2016 when I did this project I still had lots of free time, we did 11 tech due dilligences that year. In 2017 there were 18, in 2018 43 and this year we will likely end up somewhere between 60 and 80 so it long ago surpassed what one person can do.

What is brains without energy?

What is brains' relationship to energy?

If by "brains" you mean "technology", in the economic sense of "increasing total factor productivity" or more concisely, efficiency, then the best that brains are is an efficiency factor applied to energy input. That is, brains are still a factor multiplier on energy, and not an independent input.
Will your future computer be made using bacteria?
Also allow yourself a budget and to search for an existing solution. If you are gonna spend 100 hours on something, a couple of thousand dollars is not that much if you can just buy an already existing solution. For example, I wanted a feature in my text/code editor, and the only product that had that feature cost 1000/month, I thought that was too much so I spent several hundred hours creating my own editor ... And of course no one is interested in my editor besides myself. That's a lot of opportunity cost, time that I could have spent doing something else.
Yep at a known fixed cost. Corps like knowns and hate unknowns, especially stalwarts like the various big banks. It's kind of like buying stocks rather than shorting stocks. Can you handle the unknown of potentially unlimited losses many times your original "investment" in the venture?
For an idea in general, sure. But Heidegger literally joined the Nazi party and never repented publicly. So there is a burden of proof on the ideas he specifically created to show that his Nazism was unrelated and accidental to the idea.

It reminds me of this off shore city facebook wanted to build or something like that.

The problem with big money and big idea people, is that at some point they want to build a new world, but if you ask them about the old world, they don't have a solution, and deep inside they would rather see the old world burn to the ground. They're not even obsessed with power, they just want to build new things like they built an app in 1 month, to see if it could work, because the idea is sound and that it might solve many problems.

Those guys always have big big ideas but the truth is that they have absolutely no clue how the actual real world have been working for centuries and what are the real cogs of human society. It's like history doesn't matter, and that silicon made everything completely obsolete.

If you understand this, in a way, you can definitely understand why China has a big firewall. And frankly it sounds like the internet has just turned into a big advertising, political propaganda machine that just turn people into consumerist monkeys. Of course it's serving american hegemony pretty well, especially if you look at how google is siphoning data all over the world. I'm glad that countries are realizing that internet is not the cool thing of the 90s anymore.

What's weird is that facebook is now a thing for old people, the young doesn't even use facebook. I stopped using facebook in 2010 so I would never have known anyway.

Frankly there are days I wish the internet would collapse. GDPR is already setting a big fight, the battle against US digital giants is far from being over and I hope it keeps going.

This sucks, but it is fixed in the 13.1 release 10 days after 13.0.

I'm not sure there's much they can do beyond that since they have to have 13.0 on the new hardware arriving this week.

Maybe they could skip 13.0.0 for upgrading existing devices, and have them go straight to a 13.0.1 with just this fix in it. That way they'd limit exposure only to brand new devices that are never updated. Probably logistically challenging too.
In my youth, we learned about Greek and Roman myths. We also delved at least a little into various Nordic myths. So why not also Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, etc myths as well? Notice however, that I would treat them all the same. Myths teach you a lot about mindsets of people living in the times when those stories were emerging and becoming established.

It is not besides the point. I went to the UK not too long ago, and visited both some of the brexit and anti-brexit rallies. It was pretty interesting.

I also visited France some couple months ago, and in Paris I had no qualms about seeing what was going on with some of the protests there.

This stuff is perfectly OK and normal. There is nothing wrong with that.

> if you never did it and never thought of doing it anyway.

But I did do it.... It was fun to check out what some of the protesters were doing. Why is it so weird and surprising for someone to check out a brexit rally? Lol. I'd imagine that many tourists did that.

> Does it make any practical difference to you as a foreign visitor?

Yes it does! Do you honestly believe that tourists in the UK aren't going around making brexit jokes all the time, and maybe even seeing what some of the protesters are doing? Of course they are doing this. It is a cool touristy thing to do to check out current events, related to local politics!

Best parenting is simply being a good example.

I think adding the 3D parallax gives the footage a very unique effect, and quite different from the traditional Ken Burns 2D scale and pan. I would say enough to make it deserve its own name, such as the sniklaus effect. Ken Burns is Ken Burns. This is something quite different, even though it may be inspired by KB.

These are dubious claims considering the rise of populist leaders in various western democracies. It’s also annoying to see westerners comment on how “those” people think politically. Chat with any Chinese taxi (well, didi) driver for a bit and you’ll hear plenty of complaints and the occasional wild conspiracy theory, although they’re obviously careful not to go too far for their own good (didi started recording audio for passenger safety reasons).

This dissociation from government is also just generally disingenuous. You reap the benefits of all these policies you are supposedly against, and get to feel good about yourself because “well, I didn’t condone it”. Is this really any different from a Chinese police officer saying “I was just following orders”?
True, it’s the symptom (in many, but not all cases)

> This is not true. At FAANG companies and Microsoft, the total compensation bands for levels at or above "Senior SWE", "Senior SDE" are really wide.

Ehh, not really. Up to the director level (well above senior), if you give me someone's level and last two performance evals, I can probably tell you their TC to within 5%. There's certainly a wide variance within senior and above levels, but it's not as bonus based as you suggest, and sustained high performance will often (although not always) lead to promotions.

It's not like there are two senior SWEs with one making 2x what the other does. At least not at Amazon, M, or G. Since netflix doesn't have levels, that's possible, and my understanding is facebook has huge bonuses on occasion, but I'm also pretty sure you'll just end up getting promoted if you get too many of those.
It's 7 cubic meters of poison. That's pretty unique.

Our work focuses on physically correct depth. We have noticed that such effects created by professional artists emphasize the parallax to an extend that is not physically correct. As such, artists still seem to know best how to animate a catchy parallax effect.
Thanks, this resonates. But "there are days I wish the internet collapse" made me laugh! After how long will the internet be part of the old world, which the young disrupters wish would burn down so they could build something new instead? Maybe since it existed.

> Latency kills: memory latency, network latency, and storage latency.

I think the point of the article is that

> memory latency

Is actually a hierarchy of its own, and non-linear depending on access patterns.

Instruction fetch latency, branch mis-predict latency, cache hit/miss latency (L1 through L3), cache pressure, register pressure, TLB hit/miss, VM pressure, etc. all become significant at scale.

Just knowing big-O/big-Ω characteristics aren't enough.

Yes, there is also polyfill.io, which sniffs user agents and only sends the scripts a particular browser needs.
On the contrary I think it basically serves the same purpose as the Ken Burns effect, except it tastefully incorporates the natural depth of the image.

One might even argue Ken Burns would have paired the panning and zooming with this parallax effect if he could.

I look forward to this enhancing basically all photo slideshows for a long time to come.

This type of order will most probably get the developer into confirmation bias: writing the tests that show the code works.
