It's 2019.

If your workloads are limited by single thread performance you need better software. It's why vulkan and dx12 are a thing. (The single thread limitation of committing a frame to the GPU has been reduced by an order of magnitude) It's why C++ has the parallel algorithms library baked into the language.

I get it, threading is hard. But it's honestly not that hard. It's only hard when you're maintaining some super old program with single threadedness engineered into its core architecture. (note: this is my day job) Greenfield applications since 2009 should have had threading built in as a core assumption.

AMD is doing the right thing by optimizing for multithread performance over single thread performance. Moore's Law is dead for single cores. It has been for a decade and a half.
Just as a warning, while the book mentions multiple comparisons, it's possible to read the book in such a way that one would skip that section.

The section called "A Valuable Lesson" does show that doing multiple tests with the same threshold of P<0.05 does cause inexistant effects to be reported as statistically significant, but the section on correcting for that is present much later in the section about ANOVA.

That's actually a pretty severe flaw, especially for a handbook that is likely to be read partially.
Well, I think someone need to check with the IRS re: these use cases.
As a smallish counterpoint. I had chronic lower back pain for much of my 20s that increased until 29. I tried yoga around 27 and got pretty into it. I’m a flexible person so the back bends weren’t a problem, but after a few months I started to get a new thing: shooting, sharp pain that felt like a pinched nerve. It was definitely from the back bends, and once I stopped yoga it stopped.

Over the last two years I’ve “beaten” the back pain. I only ever get it on the rare occasions I pull super heavy work days and don’t stay mindful.

There was no magic bullet for me. You have to keep moving positions. I never work for more than 35 or so in the same position. Lean forward, mid, back, then take a break. Even lounging at intervals. Posture work is just a lot of small things and improvements at margin.
I've heard similar arguments about government regulated safe disposal requirements of used motor oil, old paint and unused pesticides. How dare the government not allow us to just dump that down the drain or pour it into the local creek.
GP can do something very simple as a test. I’ll go to Washington and he’ll go to Beijing. We will both hold up a sign criticizing each leader. I wonder what will happen...

I’ll go to London, Berlin, and Paris and do the same thing. Maybe I’ll need a permit in the US/Europe and do it for a week.
Tony and Alba's Pizza in Mountain View had various specials with discounted prices like "Ala Gilroy" with pepperoni, garlic, jalapenos, and bacon, and then you could add extra individual toppings on any pizza at a flat rate. (Their menu and pricing model may have changed since 1990.)

Ben Stoltz's original DevGuide/XView/X11 version of PizzaTool and also my TNT/NeWS version both had pizza order optimizers, so if you put together a basic "Cheese" pizza with individual toppings clams, pepperoni, garlic, jalapenos, and bacon, it would optimize it to an "Ala Gilroy" with extra clams, which saved you money.

There was nothing special users had to do (or even know about) to optimize the order: You could just select a pre-configured style or basic "Cheese" from the style drop-down, then click on and off the checkboxes to toggle toppings, and it would automatically reselect the most efficient base pizza style in the style drop-down, to automatically minimize the price.

Editor UNIX Today:

We the following Sun engineers would like to make a historical clarification regarding the article entitled, “Any Way You Slice It, Sun’s Pizzatool Is Food For Thought” in the April 15 issue of UNIX Today. The original idea of ordering food from the workstation was conceived way back in 1989 by David LaValle who is now at NeXT. The original fully functional implementation of ordering food thru the workstation was “Pizzatool” developed by Ben Stoltz using Sun’s DevGuide. The features that were present in that original version included price optimization, pop-up preconfigured pizza menu, fully selectable ingredients, as well as the fax hook-in to fax an order to Tony and Alba’s. Fax capability courteousy of Ed Un. Don Hopkins subsequently reimplemented this original version of pizzatool in PostScript for the NeWS toolkit and added the WYSIWYG spinning popup pizza which provided a preview of the final cooked pizza.

This letter in no way represents the views, product plans, or announcements of Sun Microsystems and is only the opinions of the engineers who witnessed this historic event. :-)

>And in yet another advancement for the free exchange of software, Sun is offering PizzaTool source without charge. [...]

>He said the PizzaTool even has a built-in cost-cutting feature that allows it to chec prices of the toppings you have selected, and try to build a cheaper pizza using a price list from your local pizza parlor. In its current incarnation, the PizzaTool will take an order and send it
via E-mail to an address on the Pizza Server. At Sun, the server then sends a fax order to Tony and Alba's pizza place in Mountain View.

There’s this deli we sometimes order bagels and bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches on weekends we are feeling lazy and want to sleep in. Often I’ll order a “Starbucks Frappuccino” with it. About 30% of the time lately my bag has a pack of “Starburst” in it. We have a few packs in the cupboard just sitting there as a reminder of the illiterate person who happens to pack our breakfast here and there.

It's indeed true, if in your contrived case, you have a VM doing nothing inside a NAT behind a public IP, you couldn't access it.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2663 might bee a good start to see where flaws are and how it works. And it's also a great way to see how a destination machine that you're talking with can puncture through your NAT, cause you did already.

And Pwnat didn't strike you as "interesting" in that it could join 2 internal networks as if they were the same collision domain, but not really?
XHR made more things possible but before that had JavaScript made what was then called DHTML possible. You could do things like swap images and shift positions, etc. to prepare a form to post since that kind of application isn’t dependent on bidirectional communication, latency, or a huge problem space.

Back around 1998 we built a custom product selector for a popular knife manufacturer which basically did that: you had choices for three components – base, blade, and handle — and a couple other options, but unlike something like Google Maps the list of possible images to load and all of their metadata easily fit in memory and they didn’t take terribly long to download so you could have a nice interactive visual display which was basically a form with a few selects and checkboxes.
Why is it "strange"? I'm referring to software industry in particular, with its expectations around career progression, income, standard of living, etc. It's like I was talking about lawyers in SV, and you'd responded with "do you realize the majority of people who are in SV are janitors".

This is borne by my own experience, and is not guaranteed to apply to other industries. Most have much lower earning potential, and for them SV is truly unlivable, so I don't get what they're looking for there either.
> upvar and it's interesting syntax allowed to create new "statements" for example in earlier versions of tcl (because looks like it was added later) you could implement try-catch "statement" and it would behave as if it was part of the language.

This is one of the things I miss most when using other languages. Outside of actual lisps (of which I consider Tcl to be one), there's very few languages that allow you to build your own control structures. Ruby comes close, but doesn't really have the same flexibility.
Good on you for standing for what you say. I personally didn't see any transphobia in your comment, what you said is merely a joke on a fact of that part of the world. The "phobia" was added on by Zhyl
OCR. But anyway, what will really happen is the users will punish the site and not visit it. Calling for website specific solutions is pointless.
The cook time may go up since there is more mass.
How about one step further? If you point a gun at someone but don't pull the trigger, no victim, right? Obviously not. The crime is threatening the life of the other person.

In the case of speeding past the school bus, the crime is putting lives in danger by the imminent threat of a high-speed collision with your car.

But now we've opened the can of worms of your actions posing a threat to someone else. Does this automatically lead back to total prohibition of any mind-altering substance, since you might be a threat to someone under the influence?

There certainly is a lot to argue about, but starting from the premise of "no victim, no crime" instead of "for your own good" should get us quite a ways toward a more just society.
I don't recall that being the case. Has something changed in the past years that prevents you from using the same event loop for both gui and async behavior?
So I'm sure this is cool to programmers, but this feels like if DDG wants to go towards popular use it should be going in the opposite direction, yeah? I guess this probably wasn't much work (maybe even an internal hackathon project) but still feels like DDG isn't really headings towards popular adoption and I'm curious what their internal focus is.
As a student of war, history, and leadership, The Fog of War is fascinating. It is a phenomenal contribution to the study of Vietnam in particular. The contrast between McNamara's eventual regret and Rumsfeld's unrepentance in The Unknown Known is stark.

> Removing this feature would break the copy ability of nearly every rich-text-like web-based UI in existence, such as Google Sheets.

Skipping over the technical implementation issues, I'd rather copying rich-text-like be relegated to a "Copy Rich Content" context menu action, and the default copy command be plain text only.

I very seldom want to copy rich content. I very frequently am copy/pasting content to notepad, selecting it, and then copying it again in order to strip out the rich content I don't want.
I'm not familiar with the intersection of these two groups: unbanked and bitcoiners. Can you tell us more about them? Why are they unbanked? How did they get into Bitcoin? How do they acquire and spend Bitcoin? What do they buy with it?
Just earlier today I thought it would be very cool to use Google assistant in a terminal. It looks like there is an example python project that is close to working with some polishing.

Google assistant is also lacking a client for web browsers, or desktops in general...

It appears free to use the assistant API for non commerical purposes. Until it gets randomly deprecated.
Not sure how iOS does it either, since shadows are not the best in dark mode, Android has opted to use lighter shades for the upper layers when in this mode.

Basically if you use pure black for the background, it will be #000000 if elevation = 0 and get slowly lighter from there for each dp of elevation.

This is nothing new. People have always whined about the overgeneralised conclusions from studies with low N counts and the inability to reproduce them.
I'm confused.

Building out a dark mode in your app has been readily possible for a long time now. You could've done it years ago.

But you like the idea of it being "global"? You mean, integrated with the rest of the OS, so that when the OS is in dark mode, your app is in dark mode? And you somehow want Apple to introduce that feature without introducing a new version of the OS? How does that work?
If you're in your 40s, and there are no managers younger than you, you're in a very unusual organization.

(But if you're bothered by having a manager younger than you, that's on you; I'm not sure what the inherent problem with it is. When I was a manager, I managed people older than me; now that I'm a senior IC, I have leadership younger than me. Both things are fine.)

On other hand, US had own intelligence screwups that ended with "self disinformation."

USSR military planners had a plan to very intentionally design Alfa and Papa class submarines with very bizarre specs, and uncertain strategic role with an intent to set American strategic planners on a wrong path.

They were intentionally let to sail close to population centres, with a lot of subassemblies given to civilian manufacturers to encourage leaks.

Amazingly, 30 years later we got to know that the plan actually worked for them. From what is known now, news of Alfa's existence truly did set the military, CIA, and the executive branch into a contention in late seventies.
>3) Most letting agencies wouldn't take cash

I don't know if there's something similar in the UK, but in the US you can buy a money order with cash from any Walmart for a couple bucks in fees and solve the "they don't take cash" issue that way.
Is there still a relationship in regards to reduction of power consumption with smaller feature sizes?
Sorry if it is disappointing: I'm still using the original Ivy Bridge machine ;-)

I found it's a fairy capable machine for day-to-day uses, even building a relatively large project is not a problem. There is a performance hit after Meltdown/Spectre, especially when you disable hyperthreading.

But yes, I'm actively looking forward to try a non-x86 platform as my desktop, and I'm watching for this PowerPC laptop [0]. Another option is the MNT Reform ARM laptop that offers an interesting, hackable design [1]. For desktops, HoneyComb LX2K is an ARM motherboard that offers workstation-level specs [2]. But the first two projects are still in development. HoneyComb looks good but the 550 USD price tag requires me to consider carefully (the same money may buy me more interesting hardware in the near-future soon).

For POWER, the Raptor Talos II workstation [3] is the first choice comes to mind, but it's POWER, the 3000+ USD price tag is not for the light-hearted. For RISC-V, it costs around 2000+ USD (1000 USD for the CPU board [4], another 1000 USD for the PCI-E board [5]) to build a desktop from the current development system. I'm still waiting for an affordable RISC-V SoC that can be used as a 400-500 USD desktop.

I can pay 2000 USD if I decide it's the One True machine that can be used as my daily driver, but it's obviously not the case for now. So... waiting, waiting, waiting, and decision, decision, decision...

It has long been possible to adjust the brightness of monitors through software. The trouble is that laptop displays and external displays do it in two different ways, and the external monitor one is pretty much unknown and unused by normal software.

Taking my laptop as an example: Windows has two APIs for adjusting screen brightness, one of which only works for the internal display and one of which only works for external displays; and sadly the brightness keys on the laptop are uninterceptable and I have not come up with any way of linking the brightnesses either. I went hunting and settled on some old freeware called ScreenBright which I can invoke from the command line, so that now I just run `b 0` for night time and `b 40` for most of the day (and up to 70% in certain seasons—but 100% is pretty much always too bright where I use my external displays). Since I arranged that workflow, I have also written a tiny Rust program that interacts with the APIs directly which could replace it.
I was tech lead for it for a couple years. Glad someone remembers it :)

Yes, global in the sense that it ties in with the OS flag. I understand that they have to release a new version of the OS to make that possible, but the understanding conveyed by my dev (who may be mistaken) is that we cannot enable this feature without making the app incompatible with prior versions of the OS. Others have indicated that we can in fact do this, which would be great. I've run into enough odd upgrade-forcing-functions recently on iOS/MacOS that what my dev reported seemed believable (if disappointing).

When a dns request is sent the dns software most of the worlds ISPs uses pulls both the A and the AAAA record, but the AAAA (ipv6) record takes on average 4x longer than the A record to pull. The dns software short circuits this so what you get back is almost always an ipv4 address.

If you're accessing a website, you're almost always going to end up getting its ipv4 address. This is significant, because still the entire internet doesn't support ipv6. (I'm looking at you Sonic.) If website providers can't get a dedicated ipv4 address, they could use some sort of 6to4 like tunnel to support ipv4. But because of the way the current dns software works, by default all of their traffic will run through that ipv4 tunnel.

This leaves ipv6 almost exclusively used for p2p or other types of home connections. The future of the internet is shaping up in such a way where websites run over ip4v and end users to have a sort of firewalled ipv4 access, then use ipv6 for everything else.

A law that requires ISPs fully support ipv6 may be beneficial.
They have freedom of speech codified in law and very many exceptions.

Opining on issues of sovereignty being one big exception. Its an unexpected one to Western audiences, coupled with a non-existent appeals process and no distinction between private and public sector in state-planned system.

So you’ll be deplatformed by private sector - just like if you have non establishment views in countries you respect - and also sanctioned by public sector.

The point is that to them it wouldn’t be viewed as freedom of speech not being upheld. Just like if things you did were ruled “obscene” or “hateful” or imminently harmful in the US: there is an appeals process in US but the courts might not support you. Just add “secession” to the list and maybe itll all make sense?
Notebooks are a maintainability maze waiting to happen.

They're incredibly non-portable; they don't play nice with version control; I know how they're supposed to be used, but I'm yet to see them actually used in a way that isn't a breeding ground for the worst software engineering I've seen.
Fedback (see #1) from my use on Firefox 70 on Mac OS Catalina

1. Feedback isn't being sent anywhere (looking at the network requests.)

2. Searching for sum or difference of numbers (eg. 2-1) returns [Object].

3. Typing / or ' invokes the browser's quick find option

4. I can never search for the letter M (or m, or 'm' inside quotes) because it always gives "-- End of search results." instead of the search results.

5. I can never search for a URL (say, http://duckduckgo.com) as a keyword. No results at all.

6. Pressing CTRL-L after typing some text clears the text as well (unlike any other terminal)

7. Pronounce doesn't work at all (audio plays well on Forvo)

Discoveries:

1. Searching for \anything takes you to the first result (on a popup that's blocked by the browser).

2. [Added] A `duck` CLI would be useful.

Depends whether you're looking at people using bikes for commuting, take out delivery, exercise, etc. Ostensibly 800,000 people are biking multiple times a month, but this can mean wildly different things. As a data point, the most popular bike path in the city (and country) has had 6,600 Strava users this year.
If they spent $$$ on gaining those customers instead they'd still have to spend time researching and monitoring where and how to spend those $$$ and that could easily require the same time investment. Few things are as simple as exchanging money to save time and most of those are already normalized.
