No, when we used MKL, the workload was slower and turning off MKL made the workload faster. The marketing is irrelevant - using vectorized instructions slowed down the workload in practice which is all that really matters. The Intel teams we were working with explained it as being due to the slower clock speeds caused by vectorized instructions. I don't really know, but it seems fair to assume that they do.

It will be interesting to test Ice Lake when they make it to the cloud, hopefully some time late next year, but until we can actually use Ice Lake, Sky Lake is what AVX512 will be judged on.

Hello, gregablr who works on AMP and forgets to disclose it:

No, AMP is not "just HTML". It's not HTML5-compliant. It requires js to run and display properly (because Web Components), it gets preferential treatment in Google Search. It's not plain HTML.
That's quite the flamebait. So the theory is that we don't have affordable childcare today because of where we'll be demographically in twenty years?
Its all relative... the Model 3 battery is significantly more energy dense than the Model S battery and appears to be lighter weight. How much of this is packaging (2170 vs 18650 form factors) vs chemistry improvements is really hard to know. It is widely believed that the Model S prototype was using a much larger battery with 2170 cells and likely at either the same or a somewhat lower weight than the previous Model S.

The truck has the benefit of being tall, so the pack is multilevel. The roadster will use at least two levels as well as it has a very thick pack, and obviously at its price point they can afford to use the absolute highest density cells on the market.
iFixit can disassemble one and check with a scope.
As a team lead I was completely surprised by the consequences of this. Most of the time when you indulge a junior engineer trying to stretch their wings they end up failing as you might expect. As long as they aren't going to throw a sprint completely out of whack, cause massive deadline slips or damage critical code modules I usually let them have at it, often with some boundary on the time I'm willing to allow them to make the attempt. My experience is that preventing someone from "scratching an itch" leads to them losing motivation very quickly. But the surprises are the successes. I've seen junior engineers pull off some extraordinary efforts resulting in objective improvements that positively affect the entire team. Those moments are among the most rewarding and memorable of leadership. I thought they were going to learn a lesson but they end up teaching me one about trust.
I am in the UK so I apologise if this is not relevant to the US, but here banks provide payroll services and many small/medium businesses use their own bank.
If you doubled the wages of every McDonald's worker, burger prices would have to go up by 30 cents or so to compensate, if I recall the math properly.
This is a damn good point. Whenever my friends, or kids of my friends, start talking about taking some foodservice or other really hard, low-paying job, I roundly encourage them to avoid it if remotely practical and build marketable skills and connections instead.

Another bad thing about those types of jobs is that they can start to warp your mind after a while, to the effect that you start unconsciously considering your superiors / managers as role models, and start trying to 'move up the ladder' because the pay is marginally better, when in reality most of the time the _top_ of the "ladder" at such organizations are compensated less than entry-level positions for in-demand skilled workers --

I've been continuously employed [out of what I _thought_ was necessity] since I was 16, and until I was about 26 the majority of my jobs were in the foodservice / warehouse / gofer / etc hard-work-long-hours-very-low-pay category. If I had to do over again, I would have stayed away from those situations by any means available and used that time to build valuable skills [as I later did], which would almost certainly have resulted in better outcomes, sooner.
If you look at the energy return on investment over time, it's something like 125:1 in 1920. Dropped into 25:1 in 1970. Now at less than 15:1 maybe lower.
How are you comparing the cost to fill a powerwall with consumable energy, to a durable good like a laptop?
Because after eight years, driving from Redmond->Seattle->Redmond with the heat on becomes a dicey proposition. Best keep a list of charging stations handy, that's all I'm sayin'. Used to be that trip was no problem if I kept it under 70mph on the freeway. Now I better keep it closer to 60mph, and leave the heat off if I don't really need it. The next gen used a heat pump and electric seats to keep you warm rather than an inefficient strip heater. (Digressive pet peeve: that heater draws 3K watts while it's warming up. Why the fsck does it take five minutes to produce heat? Where is that 3K watts going other than to warm my legs fifteen seconds after I hit the switch?)

And compared to what you can buy today, even if it's a used-but-later-model Leaf, they're weren't great when they were new. We bought ours because we have an ICE in reserve. Go buy a Chevy Bolt for the same money we spent and most folks can just forgo the ICE with the range the Bolt has. We keep the Leaf around because it suits most of our needs, and I usually get to work on a scooter or bicycle, so the wife can commute in it and the ICE sits. But as the battery degrades, he becomes more of a "running around town" car.
Broadway, RabbitMQ, and the Rise of Elixir Part 2
The impression I have: The first couple generations of Leafs don't have active battery temperature management and so far most Leafs that have entered the secondary market have done so in part because of large battery capacity reductions (necessitating in some of those cases battery replacements, which so far used dealers haven't been willing to finance at scale, so instead pass the "savings" to the next buyer).

As more Leafs show up with better managed battery lifetimes and/or as more used dealers get comfortable with battery replacements (and that gets subsequently cheaper as an industry), it may be likely that the Leaf loses its reputation as a "loss" on the secondary markets and maybe regains some of its resale value. (Especially now that current generations have more active battery management.)

But the entire secondary market for EVs is overall confused, because there are fewer EVs in the secondary market than should be. (The average first lifetime of an EV is way ahead of ICE "norms" right now, with average EV first owners keeping cars 7-10 years.) It may take used EV sales a while to better readjust prices to the actual marginal utility of a used EV (in light of overall reduced maintenance costs of a secondary EV lifetime versus ICE averages that used dealers have had decades of information about).
The real problem tends to be when you have a few outliers. Say, a 10+ person team where everyone is next to each other and are all in the office most days except for one or two who are fully remote. That can be a problem. It can also be made to work. But everyone needs to work at it and be committed to it.

To be honest, the situations where I have personal experience are mostly more senior teams where everyone is doing a lot of travel anyway, a decent percentage are fully remote and the rest are often only in the office a few days a week. And everyone is doing as much communication (if not more) with other teams and people outside the organization as they are internally anyway.
For the most part mutations like that simply reduce the reproductive viability of the offspring. We can't really poison the entire human genome worldwide without going to absolute extremes.

Could we engineer a human so irresistibly sexually desirable and voracious that they could spread their genetic material with a subtle recessive defect across the globe in the span of a generation so that it could take effect before people realized what was going on?
One of those "we're in the wrong business.." moments.
Yeah I think this could probably work well in gcp.

In AWS you end up with a manually built/managed root cluster and if you've automated deploying / upgrading (which you probably should) that then you might as well just use those pipelines and code for all your other clusters too instead of having 1 special thing.

If the infrastructure gets complex there will start to be dependencies between stuff, there is definitely a tipping point where you need a real iac pipeline (tf/cf) instead in any case.

I think captn3mo proposed one of the more reasonable use cases which is provisioning stuff like queues and dbs for test envs or ci, we ended up stubbing out aws for ci and using the same pipeline code we use to deploy to prod instead for "full fat" testing but I can see where it might make sense to use kube manifests. Probably some creative uses for "deployment per customer" SaaSs too.

On the other hand, you can walk into a Krispy Kreme and watch the machine work. There's no reason that machine couldn't make french fries with a few changes.

Maybe everything won't be automated all at once, but if the economic incentive is there, it will happen. Pizza making robots are already a thing. There's no reason the shake machine can't measure its output to the cup instead of pulling a lever; drink machines in many places already do this. Dispensing the cup too is not a big step.
I have that feature on the OnePlus 7 Pro. Thanks, pop-up cameras!

I'm hoping that parser generators get more usable. I completely concur that using parser-generators to create safe parsers that will accept all and only valid input is a way to eliminate a large class of bugs.

But getting developers to use parser generators has been a struggle because I'm finding it hard to give dev team tools they can use and integrate into their build systems. It also doesn't help that most developers have forgotten anything they learned about formal language theory, so it's hard to communicate the value of using parser generators.

But we are getting there. Slowly, but there is progress.
It's understandable, but very rare in most text. It's the sort of thing you'd expect in a telegram, not a modern forum comment.
That was the first time I actually watched that conference.

Steve Jobs presents a convincing case. It's now clear to me that the media hyped up a non-issue, or at least one that was ubiquitous across the state of the art at the time. And Apple's response is perfectly reasonable.

What exactly is your problem with his explanation of the changes?
It just goes to show how much the powers-that-be don't want to talk about data privacy, and just want you to go back to your lives while corporations continue to do whatever they want with their newfound oil. The Snowden revelations are up there with 9/11 in terms of American history significance, and when they happened, barely anything changed, especially in the general public.

No one cares, no one can be bothered to be galvanized to give a shit, and it's because there's too much money to be made from the status quo staying the same.
What do you think purchasing power for common goods will do once millions of people are on UBI? My bet is that prices will go up.
Hello, gregablr, who works on AMP and doesn't disclose it.

You mean:

- signed exchanges created an pushed by Google and Google only to solve a problem that didn't exist before AMP

- "implemented by some browsers" as in "implemented only in Goigle Chrome" even before there was any consensus or standards work as yet another avenue of creating Google-onlu web.
Ive been looking for something like this, but with the usecase to dump to github. Including all the personal knowledge base type stuff a la Evernote, OneNote, snippets, bookmarks.
This has been my primary reason for resorting to Google too, and I just realized a few days ago that I don't really do that much anymore, DDG's technical results are getting much better.

There are still times DDG completely misinterprets my query and I have to clarify it or resort to !g but these times are becoming less frequent.
"Awful" was mean. Sorry.

I just meant that IMO it's more productive to get familiar with the shell and demonstrate powerful shell alternatives than learning a handful of situation-specific CLI alternatives. Getting to know things like shell expansions, using ipython (or whatever) for adhoc data crunching, the "jq" command, sup/mutt/whatever and so on will make someone a much better CLI wrangler (and less dependent on GUI tools) than knowing you can Google from the command line.
That's true. A vehicle-grade battery pack should also already come with the wiring built in so you can charge and discharge all the cells from a single point without having to make your own harness. Still, though, I'm not convinced buying a used Model S battery pack is a good deal unless you have an application that specifically needs it.
LINQ is another clear win for monads. There is more to LINQ than monads, of course, but they contribute to the power of the library.

I'm also fond of of the data generation DSLs in property testing libraries, which tend to lean heavily on monads.

I continue to find that, outside of lazy functional programming, where you need them to live, monads are at their best when they're used in understated ways where the pattern may not even be mentioned by name. All too often, they end up feeling more like something Rodney Dangerfield's character from Caddyshack would use to play code golf.
"Call me tinfoil I don't care, but don't invite me to your homes either if the place is going to be bugged, I'm good."

The funniest part of this opinion is that 95% of the time I hear it, I say, can you take the bugged device out of your pocket before you talk about not being near bugs?

Always with the iPhones and Androids, even though they have the same exact technology for always listening, activating, and sending your data to a database for collection.

Very rarely, they'll pull out a dumbphone and that's respectable since generally only governments bug those, and only once in my entire life have I heard someone criticizing bugs actually not walk with a cellphone at all. Now there's someone who demonstrates their convictions with their actions.
Sure, but too many unintended mutations in too short of a time period and you end up with things like cancer or fatal congenital diseases. Gene editing with CRISPR is potentially increasing the mutation rate by orders of magnitude. Where is the line?
It’s really common in some places to have underserved shelters. In nyc I was considered super lucky to have a stovetop with an oven. Also, subsidized housing has been historically undercared for.

I agree with you we shouldn't generalize, but ironically you're doing the same thing about television shows. If you've watched the show, what do you find disagreeable about it? If you haven't watched it, maybe you shouldn't be so quick to judge.

Anyway, I concede it's a bad talking point for the point I was making.

EDIT: On second thought, my original comment is such a tangent I probably should not have made it. While I may disagree with some of the details of your reasoning, I agree with your overall point.
The awful truth is that competent child care is very expensive. Nothing is going to change that.

We could decide as a society to subsidize it in various ways, and/or many of us could tighten our belts some and cough up for the expensive child care we need ourselves.

But ultimately, it's expensive and probably going to get more so. It's not unlike healthcare costs in general.

Exactly; what English shares with German is mostly words from a small village in the year 1000. You can talk about water, bread, beer and brothers, but anything more complex is out of the question. "Complex" and "question" are both latin-origin words for instance. So are "instance" and "origin".

I had a vastly easier time learning Italian than German as a native English speaker. Of course there were confounding variables, but I just found Italian to have a lot more that I could latch on to in the modern world.
Wow this is incredibly dystopian to think about. Just imagine, you're born into a country that by no will of your own becomes more and more expensive. You're given an inadequate education to function in this country, so you're forced to work menial jobs to make ends meet, and hope that by some lottery stroke of luck you will somehow develop the time or the money or the skills to have a good life. BUT if you don't get this stroke of luck, you are asked to emigrate away from your friends and family?
I don't think it's that people are less rational, just that irrational people have more of a platform these days. They were always around, but they didn't get as much airtime in the 1970s. The democratization of publishing has allowed them to finally have a voice, repugnant as that voice may be.

>There is no bigger lie than hard work = prosperity. It is literally the exact opposite.

Hard work leads to prosperity.
That's not the same as equating prosperity to hard work.

Most prosperous people achieved prosperity due to earlier hard work and sacrifice of themselves (or their immediate ancestors.)

Clearly, the 'value chain', as you put it, exists as evidenced by the numerous posts on this thread of describing the previous fast-food-type jobs they held that led them to more 'prosperous' positions (at least, affording enough prosperity to spend time posting messages to the internet instead of digging ditches or flipping burgers.)
Why is it not realistic?
Astroturfing FTW!
I completely agree with this sentiment, and now I add any and all analyst responsibilities I come across to my desk just so that I can better articulate my recommendations in c-level business language
This isn't a matter of unconscious bias. People can (and, arguably, should) have a conscious, intentional bias, against inexperience, when it comes to selecting for skilled work. Age drops off as a useful proxy for experience once someone's been in the workforce for some time, but as others point out, a 23 year old is still going to be definitionally inexperienced in most domains.
Good point, though I'm not sure. To be honest I haven't checked, but will look into that too.

However, it'd be good if we can have a unified system rather than piecemeal, fewer things to worry about.
Hm, touché! That lines up with the timeline, though I still think Chrome's _sustained_ and _stark_ uptick in market share is due to their market dominance in every field of one's digital life.

I must admit that I've never used those missing dev tools in Chrome, as those issues are non-existent in a webpack environment (that's essentially what workspace mounting and hot code reloading is mirroring). And the search function works with all files, including inline code, as of Quantum as well.
In most of my on site jobs, I never had a manager looking over my shoulder. Most of the time they were off in some meeting!

People want offices so they won't be socially isolated. You might not, but others do. Also sync video talking can often be faster than chat, and issues that are controversial are usually resolved a lot better in a meeting. I once had something that took 2 weeks of unproductive back and forth with a team half way around the globe resolved with 20 minutes of a video meeting.
The linked video is something else.

> natural system of transcription, translation, and protein synthesis at the core of DNA still makes mistakes.

Exactly, which means the system is resilient, which means it's more forgiving of random mutations introduced by gene editing, which is perhaps why most scientists are less concerned than you think they ought to be.

Imagine if we took the same approach to surgery--overly worried that scar tissue of any kind at any point would completely disrupt the functioning of an organ. We'd be a hundred years or more behind where we are now. Scientists and doctors understand that the body is both much more complex than a simple machine, but also much more resilient.

Such criticism cuts both ways. Likewise for GMOs. Demanding perfection is unreasonable and unnecessary.
Besides the obvious answer of medication, which I've personally found very helpful, I think physical movement is the biggest thing for me for staying engaged. I just can't focus on things while sitting still which is obviously really rough as a programmer. I find that as soon as I have the urge to spin my wheels checking HN or tinkering with my emacs config or some other comfortable distraction I get up and take a walk, preferebly outside, in a way that makes my brain notice it's in a different space, then visualize myself working as I return to my desk.

> In your example, the traffic that goes to Alice is intended for Alice, because the initiators of that traffic have chosen to use the new database to direct traffic.

Is your proposal then that Mozilla doesn’t actually use this database unless individuals opt in? In that case it’s worthless.

> then Bob comes along and attempts to lay technical claim to the name because it is not registered at the legacy.

This is an entirely legitimate scenario. I don’t know why you’re being dismissive of this as if it doesn’t matter. You’ve described a scheme where Mozilla intentionally hijacks a registrar. Of course the original registrar is still relevant.
