>China Telecom is a global transit provider. As a sibling commenter mentioned, the document doesn't show that traffic actually went to China, just that China Telecom was an available path -- even assuming traffic transited their network, it's unreasonable to assume it actually transited through China without a traceroute at least;

The paper is based upon data from the DIMES project, which uses many volunteer-contributed nodes to run traceroutes and pings. See https://arxiv.org/pdf/cs/0506099.pdf
Agreed! anyone reading this who hasn't used TextMate don't pass it by it is an incredibly useful tool to have in your tool belt. It opens faster than just about all IDEs and is feature rich far beyond "graphical Notepad"
I remember a story my father told me when he started working (in Belgium). It was a bit before 9am, and everyone was standing in front of their workbench. My dad, a farmers son, thought it was weird and started working on his task. A colleague came up to him and said "we only start working at 9". Since then he, like all the others, stood there doing nothing until it was 9 o'clock.

Unions have a "us vs them" mentality, where the boss tries to pay you as little and try to get as much work out of you, and you do the least amount of work for the most pay.

I myself like to see a cooperation more as a win-win situation, where you do something for me and I for you. The more we do for each other, the better for both of us.

> Because author didn't discover anything stunningly novel, not even slightly, but bragged rather big.

I honestly don't understand your complaint. Did the author discovered a novel data structure? No. But did the author discovered that a data structure performs far better in the real world than theoretically optimal data structures that fail to take into account real-world constraints? Why, yes.

> Read the comments, the full list, to see many others saying the same thing. His 'discovery' isn't.

Sounds like the nay-sayers are entirely oblivious to real-world problems. That's one of the main complaints regarding the ivory tower mentality and how some very clever people fail to fulfill their potential by focusing on theoretical frameworks that have no relation with reality. Some algorithms may present the lowest theoretical time complexity within fictitious theoretical frameworks, where all memory regions are accessible in constant time and where all ops take the same time to perform, but that is far from what we have in reality. In reality cache misses penalize performance and cache locality is fundamental to reduce any performance penalty. It means nothing if a theoretical optimal algorithm that is only optimal under unrealistic assumptions is proven to be optimal in an unrealistic scenario if another algorithm is found to perform far better on the real-world.
> The outcome has been that there is no solid mechanism hitching revenue to those who generate intellectual property.

But how could there be? With 1985-2000 tech, and remembering how pretty much every DRM scheme so far's either failed miserably or been so invasive and flakey that it'd never have been accepted for mass media, and that even the failures have made "legitimate" products worse than their pirated counterparts. We have subscriptions—that hasn't helped much. We can very effectively gate off pages from those we don't want to see them.

It's not Information Freedom folks trying to stick it to those who want to charge money for writing any more than the record industry was trying to weaken the social value of semi-skilled music-playing family and friends. Both happened but that wasn't the point, it's just how things shook out.

I'm very open to arguments that either of those was bad and maybe even that their harm isn't made up for by the benefits the two technologies provide, but to whatever extent the Web is anti-author or anti-creator it's not some conspiracy (in the usual sense—I don't mean that as a slight) but just what it is. The printing press hurt some people. Recorded music hurt some people. Film and talkies hurt some people. I don't think anyone developing film audio recording & sync technology, or even those involved in its use, were much interested in harming a bunch of silent film actors per se, right? But how would you even develop that tech without doing so? You'd make it way different and much worse somehow, I guess, if it could be done at all. Same here.
Its not a bad idea. I did it myself in 98, down to making data fit in the L3 cache. Memory optimisation isn’t really new.
>Could there possibly be an innocent explanation where the channel through PRC somehow happens to be less saturated or otherwise faster?

BGP prioritizes routes via the number of hops in the AS path. A prefix announcement could be described like this:

subnet: 169.254.0.0/16
origin-as: 65419
as-path: 65419 -> 65420 -> 65416

This announcement is twice removed from the origin AS (autonomous system), and would have a lower priority than a direct announcement from the origin as or another path.

A BGP speaker can lie about the AS path and claim they have a shorter path than they really do. Then their peers either reject the route advertisement, if RPKI is configured (it is not), or accept it and forward traffic through it.

Thanks for the reply.

Was it the university that didn't want to release it? Are they looking at commercializing it, or how does that work? Is it available in any commercial software? It kind of looks like magic and would probably be very useful for a lot of purposes.

2. So basically each point is projected to the image plane without perspective mapping? So in 3D, the further away from the camera they are the bigger they are so they all have the same size on the image? And that prevents any seams to occur in the pixel grid as things move around?

4. Experience, intuition, and elbow grease. Kind of what I thought, but I guess it's reassuring to see an expert in the field having to try 1500 variants.

Apologies that was in fact a typo.
For those who think this sounds like Docker: in a way, it's similar, but while Docker is mostly designed for packaging and running regular Linux server software, Sandstorm provides a common framework (particularly around authentication, authorization, configuration and upgrading), which makes the whole user experience much more unified, and requires less fiddling with configuration files or terminal commands, while exposing a smaller attack surface, even if the attacker manages to exploit a particular app (there are various levels of isolation, even between different documents of the same app).

Everyone here saying paging is uncommon on modern systems with large RAM is correct, but there is another factor. TLB misses are expensive and since they involved MMU misses their effect is pretty analogous to paging. So slowdowns still exist but they're not quite as pronounced since each miss only costs you a few main memory accesses rather than going all the way to secondary storage. They do happen rather more often than paging though due to the small size of the TLB.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_lookaside_buffer

These are typical performance levels of a TLB:

size: 12 bits – 4,096 entries

hit time: 0.5 – 1 clock cycle

miss penalty: 10 – 100 clock cycles

miss rate: 0.01 – 1% (20–40% for sparse/graph applications)

If a TLB hit takes 1 clock cycle, a miss takes 30 clock cycles, and the miss rate is 1%, the effective memory cycle rate is an average of 1 × 0.99 + (1 + 30) × 0.01 = 1.30 (1.30 clock cycles per memory access).

That’s why I never switched from Sublime to Atom, the general slowness was just too frustrating. Not just the load time, but things like opening large-ish files or global find/replace. VSCode kind of feels like how Atom should have been, fully featured with lots of great plugins but also snappy. I still keep Sublime in my toolbox in case I have to open a huge file or something.
> But did the author discovered that a data structure performs far better in the real world than theoretically optimal data structures that fail to take into account real-world constraints? Why, yes.

Which has been known about since forever. It's not a new discovery. (Edit: by 'since forever' that's the 70's and quite possibly earlier).

It's not even remotely surprising because anyone who know anything about memory architectures will appreciate it.

Please read the full comments in the original ACM article. Or at least a sample.

Also read https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12485556-what-every-prog... (which can also be found online) which explains very clearly why this is predictable.
This is why I read the comments to articles first. Thanks, @fraqed for adding important context!
I would consider myself an Emacs user and I use the graphical version too. With the exception of the menu bar and toolbar, Emacs seems to be graphical but not a graphical user interface, if that makes sense. It is still primarily a text-based application controlled through the keyboard. There’s certainly nothing wrong with that approach, but my litmus test is if you lose a significant amount of functionality by using the terminal version instead of the graphical version, it’s graphical. I don’t really lose anything (and I don’t think most people do) when running emacs -nw.
I'm reasonably sure this stuff doesn't fly in the EU anyway (hiding away information like this deep within some privacy document is not the clear consent the GDPR requires).

Tools are becoming available though. Projects like PiHole are making it easier to block many malicious trackers. There are even companies selling pre-built PiHole devices. Unless HP is hardcoding IP addresses, it's only a matter of adding the required domains to a tracker blocklist (if they're not already on there) and most of these problems go away nearly instantaneously.

I've noticed my PiHole helping a lot in regards to stuff like mobile apps (Google Analytics, Facebook Graph, etc.) and embedded devices like these are probably no exception.
Funny you say that, because in my testing this evening the performance of ST3 is significantly better than TM across the board. Scrolling and navigating around files on my 2018 Macbook Pro w/ Radeon 560X is noticably slow. Even scrolling the release notes was choppy.

My hope is that someday we'll see a resurgence of development for it, or the creation of something new like it. A lot of open source projects have survived on a very slow burn for a very long time, only to show up again later.

What's truly unfortunate, is Sandstorm was massively ahead of it's time: A lot more people are willing to understand the need for Sandstorm today than they were just a few years ago, when Sandstorm was an active development project. I feel like if Sandstorm had launched in 2019, it'd have enjoyed a lot wider support than people were ready for in 2014.
It’s also declining according to the chart, but you’re right that it’s both native and way more popular than TextMate.

> google.com is equal to streetname.number

Small correction: the left side of a domain name is the most specific. For example, `translate.google.com` is like `number.street.city`, not the other way around.

It may seem like the end of a domain name is like the street number, since it's often a country-code, but it's more like having company that's so big that they have the same street address in every city.

These things all come because our elected american representatives how not put more money into it. For my entire life every year there has been a report that they needed to put a bit more in and although there have been small amounts it has never been enough added. Calling this mismanagement of the program is not accurate because it suggests that the money was somehow lost or misinvested by the leaders of the program somehow. The senators and representatives in congress didn't put the right amount of money in it to match the payouts they set.

The problem is that apple is playing both sides. It wants things to be attractive and convenient for both users and businesses.

Agreed, love this kind of look. I emulated a curved screen, phosphor glow and scan lines somewhat in my Unreal Engine based Z80 emulators, although I think the look could still be improved further. This is fairly easy to do with UE4 shaders and geometry for the curved screen, a bit harder to do all from scratch though in a standalone program I would think.

This is not binary. As they grow older, kids should be able to take control of their lives more and more.

Indeed. It's strange to me that people try to do things any other way. At the start, you have a tiny person who has no idea how to function in the world and is entirely dependent on others. Somewhere around two decades later, you have someone who needs to be ready to go out into the world on their own and operate independently. How else could you possibly get them from one to the other effectively if not by introducing more freedom and more responsibility over time as they become mature enough to handle them?

Probably the biggest complaint when I've spoken about childhoods with friends of my own generation, and the thing we pretty much all agree we want to avoid with our own generation of children, is strict and arbitrary-seeming rules that remain in place for far too long. Obviously no five-year-old is ready to make their own fully informed decisions about everything. But a fifteen-year-old? Hopefully by then they'll be making most decisions for themselves and relying on their parents more as advisers and a safety net than as figures of authority.
I remember really well being bored as a kid, and as a teen. It always resulted, without fail, in a sudden and deep drive to explore--our home, our school, our town; wherever we were at the time--, in creative spurts--painting, drawing, doing something with play dough--, and in an urge to engage in physical activities, such as going for a walk or practicing some sport. Great conversations with our parents and other relatives or friends also took place; we got into some sort of inquisitive, proactive mindset.

We should get used to get bored again, indeed, but I'd call it something else: not "getting bored", but "escaping our own lives at any chance we have".

The "status quo" argument of apathy is self-fulfilling. There are few things that are more effective than market forces, hence the 24x7x365 war for your opinion.

Note how often people say "insert law here". Compare that with how many times they actually propose the text of a law. Our most effective laws are exceptionally simple and short. It's not accidental that "modern" laws are intractably complex.

How about try it? Propose the law.

The sum of many details that stir emotion is a whole that is emotionally compelling. If cars (or any consumer product) are purchased emotionally, and this feature is perceived as cool and futuristic, surely this will incrementally add to unit sales.

See also the Model 3's AC vents. Whatever their utility & whether its better than traditional ones, they are cool and futuristic and do their part to help the car stand out from the pack. Start adding all these up and you have something.

Car companies outsourced all these types of parts years ago, which severely limit their ability to pursue these types of innovations. That made economic sense when they were competing against organizations with similar cost-cutting strategies, and are a product of the era in which those choices were made and the business climate that encouraged those choices, but it leaves them at a disadvantage when a company takes a very different, tech-driven, vertically integrated approach to product.

The "subsurface lines" (Circle, District, Hammersmith and City and Metropolitan) are incredibly old as this article points out and failure prone. It is slowly being replaced with automatic train operation which should be a lot more reliable.

Even on other automaticac train operation based signalled lines like central, northern, Victoria and jubilee you still get the occasional signal fault. Problem is if any of the hardware fails the whole system shuts down as a failsafe.

* Only if the motor is running at full power the entire time it rains (even on "high" this is not true).

* Only if range is not otherwise impacted by the rain (nope).

If it rains all the time, and the above are all true-- yes, it's worth 0.5%.
