FD.io uses the VPP stack under the hood, which ultimately uses DPDK[1] for the actual IO acceleration.

The reason it's faster is because it's polling your hardware. You spend a lot of cpu time to buy the lower latency.

I'm the author of 2 such LINQ providers that rewrite expression trees for execution in different remote persistent providers:

IPSec works fine with UDP and NAT.
Basically nothing for wireguard itself. I've run it on some seriously underpowered hardware and it seems to have basically no performance impact to speak of. I probably have it set up on around 30 machines presently and have used it in production environments.
Early Generation X Computer users will be the greatest generation of computer users because:

1) We had an easy time with simple CPU like the Z80 or Assembly for the C64. You could have the whole chip in your head.

2) Graphical Interfaces hides the nuts and bolts and we didn't have them.

3) We had to hack to do things because usually that was the only way to do something you wanted to do. We had to tweak and modify files and ram just so a game would launch. It was magical at the time.
Wuhan is coincidental. It's a very large city, more populous than any city in the US. Lots of things happen there.
Any change to this rule is welcome in my book. What really gets me is the people who fly with dogs that are obviously terrified. Putting an animal that isn't trained to handle airports and planes in that situation so you don't have to be separated from fluffy is just cruel. Put your dog in boarding (or find a pet sitter, etc.) when you go out of town. If you can't afford to do the right thing for your dog when you travel, then you can't afford to travel.
This thing should run fine just about anywhere, down to RPi Zero
Try asking the CSGO community whether or not Valve manages to communicate at all. It's a very common refrain in that area about how silent Valve is and the lack of attention the game gets, despite being the most played game on Steam.
1. No sorry. Slack is already too chatty with bots and I end up leaving channels with git related output. I like to do git things in GitHub,gitlab, or terminal where I have full access to the toolsets. Email serves fine for notifications on PRs or things I have marked as watch.

2. No.

3. I don't think so. People seem to be quick to add these types of integrations but after 500 messages from git activity everyone ignores them or turns them off.

All my opinions of course. Maybe other people will love this.
I think you have to qualify “basic societal principle” with regard to any measure of penalization for crime being “torture.” There are posts in this thread who say solitary is torture, saying high monetary fines are torture, the whole spectrum...

So you need to define torture, and then find a punishment which you find to not be torture and convince general society that it is both proportional and effective punishment for some specific criminal act.
low interest rates are supposed to provide information regarding the value of money spent vs. money saved. However that function isn't allowed to work. Further quantitative easing add(s|ed) further noise to the flow of money from investment to spending.
I finally got one of the credit rate adjustment calls to not immediately hang up on me, kept them on for about 15 minutes.

They incorrectly claimed that I only gave them 15 digits for my credit card number-- I think to make sure I read them the same digits back. Next time I'll make sure to have a fake credit card number handy that passes the checksum.
Why I can’t get through a day without anxiety. Many years of research, consulting with experts, running experiments and correlating data. It’s a hard problem.
I’m using WireGuard daily on Linux and iPhone. It’s hard to describe how much better of an experience this is than OpenVPN. Connections are reliable and durable, latency is pretty low, and you can actually understand the software.
I think the recent (BBC?) article about how procrastination was caused by a lack of emotional management, not time management made a lot of sense to me.
Keep in mind that said masks don't protect the eyes, and people wearing said masks have gotten sick.
It's tough to compare a company's first few steps into gaming to the established machine that is Nintendo.

Fish oil, krill oils and certain marine algae possess EPA and DHA two lipids critical to brain function and difficult to obtain in the diet without seafood.

Proanthocyanidins, antioxidants and flavonoids present in certain berries and vegetables have proven health benefits, examples are bilberry, blueberry, chokeberry, elderberry, especially black rasberry, mulberry.

Sounds an awful lot like Google is getting ready to repeat the mistakes of Yahoo! by chasing seemingly hot markets instead of finding ways to better support the customers and products they already have.
XHTML was late to the party by at least four years. And the problem was not specifically about doctype validation, it was about how pages looked. Contracts with web users are visual first.
If all networking happens inside kernel, it'll be as fast as possible. People write userspace code because they don't want to put their application into kernel for obvious reasons. And with userspace code it makes sense to move everything into userspace, including network drivers, etc. But it's not a standard configuration and compromises on security.
Edit: one other point on this. A lot of people are curious about Bitcoin and have never owned any. This is why they are happy. Imagine if there was this futuristic currency you heard about on the news and then someone said to you "You want to try it out I'll send you a small amount right now." That's basically what we do. We tell people they won't get rich from our app in the description very clearly, but they get to try Bitcoin for the first time and understand what it is. We're a gateway. We help them setup their first Bitcoin account, etc.
> Technological proliferation is not a list of principles. It is a deep, multivalent historical process with many radically different stakeholders over many different time-scales. People who invent technology never get to set the rules for what is done with it

Well said. Pessimism is a reasonable reaction to this sweeping line, but I offer a quick summary of what I hope is non-naive optimism:

1) Problem: When we think technology is neutral, we miss how it creates niches outside our intended design and social/political constraints, since the environment of economics thwarts all. We have agency as individuals, yes, but the environment rewards and select for any uses of the technology which yield advantage. “If you incentivize something, it will happen.”

2) Solution?: Nobody fucking knows. But “Game ~B” is what people are calling a nascent research effort to identify what attributes a more cohesive civilization must have to allow better collective “sense-making” and “choice-making” so we may become capable of directing technology instead of leaving it to the emergent dynamics of hapless competition. What's also interesting are the considerations for employing antifragile, transitionary social structures that can thrive in our current entrenched “Game A” dynamics to plant said attributes. Gotta change the underlying rules instead of designing atop those which are broken.

3) Future Ethics: I've also seen some excitement about a so-called non-relativistic ethical framework within Game~B, called The Immanent Metaphysics. It claims to be commensurable with — but not derivable from — science, rigorously formalizing intuitive ethical principles, to at least create a consistent grounding for making effective ethical choices.[1] The hope is to better inform (but not determine) our use of technology after we step into a more coherent phase of civilization. Tech can NOT be put back in the bag, so we must develop our wisdom to carefully wield the godlike powers they give, which we are currently making a mess of.

[1] only a few people currently understand the dense framework, but I'm currently working through it and may be able to offer a summary of what I know so far here. neat stuff
I’m glad because people are abusing the system. I have a coworker that spent a lot of money getting her dog trained and certified so she could bring it into restaurants. All it does is tying up resources from people that actually need service dogs.
At present, the iPad is simply not powerful enough for pro quality music production. Serious, ready-to-release songs usually have 40-50+ tracks. That really stretches powerful processors on desktops.

I produce some music as a hobby and while I've seen some iPads being used during live gigs as a second screen, the studio is strictly Macbook Pro/desktop territory.
I repeatedly get scam calls from a fake "Verizon" that show up on my caller ID as Verizon on my Verizon phone. When I call back I end up talking to the REAL Verizon who basically say "oh yeah that thing ... we'll never call you so don't pick up, that's a scam"

If they can't stop someone impersonating their own name/number on their own network, we're all screwed.
The big telecoms get call traffic from a manageably small number of interconnect companies/organizations.

They probably can’t figure out the initial source, but they can figure out which interconnect it’s coming from.

They should call them at their 24/7 NOC and tell them to trace it back a later to trace back another layer to trace it back another layer. Or else they’re getting shutdown in 24hrs.

Same as AT&T would do if Cogent was sending them spoofed scam traffic.

The problem is that the telecoms get paid for these 4th string interconnects by the minute.
With Apple’s secrecy, it may not be easy to get a source for certain product developments. But it’s a guess that one could wager on, since Apple values complete control over its design, components, etc. Relying on Intel, while a lot better than how it was relying on PowerPC, has forced Apple to work with Intel’s delayed schedules for newer processors and to wait for the right ones for different device classes (mobile vs. desktop).

In the same vein that Apple is now working on designing and building its own modem chips (with the Qualcomm agreement being a stop gap thing), I’m sure (as are thousands of others) that Apple has been working on an ARM based Mac for some years. It’s just a matter of getting enough performance to use it on a low end MacBook and getting the related details on the software side (porting x64 apps to it with lesser effort) ironed out.
Countries are continually jockeying for power.
There's cyber wars, trade wars, cultural wars.
I worked for a major day trading software company back in 1999 or so and we built everything around NT. I had come from a Unix background, but to be honest NT was the perfect choice at the time for building the back end of a large-scale retail trading platform. And IO completion ports were amazing compared to what was available on other platforms.
Not if that full transparency uncovered further forged documents which corroborated the accusations. If we're assuming a full on intelligence operation here then that wouldn't be significantly harder to pull off. After a couple more pieces of evidence the story would support itself and any inconsistencies would be blamed on the target's own attempts to cover up.

The harm from having your life threatened and losing $10 is much more than $10. I’d vote for a political system where muggers are executed, and so would many others — you won’t find much support for catch and release.
Yup, this has been the case for me too, along with any repetitive task such as rowing, turning a garden, chopping wood, etc.
He's wrong to not report conflict of interest on national defense funding, but how is establishing a lab elsewhere alone egregious?

Private research institutes, like corporations, don't own people who work for them.
See: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

From the above URL, among 41 people who went to the hospital:

* All 41 patients had pneumonia with abnormal findings on chest CT

* acute respiratory distress syndrome (12 [29%])

* RNAaemia (six [15%])

* acute cardiac injury (five [12%])

* secondary infection (four [10%])

* 13 (32%) patients were admitted to an ICU

* six (15%) died

So among those that were able to get to a hospital 15% died.

Question is what percentage of people exposed get bad enough to want to go to the hospital?
> Solitary is more stressful than that environment, objectively.

That entirely depends on the person. Go talk to a corrections officer. Some folks go mad in solitary, others find relief from the daily threat of physical violence and do OK.
Breaking news: Teens don't have a clue about *! Also IT <> using a computer. IT <> hacking, etc. IT is a department in the basement of megacorp. I've been programing for 25 years and I don't have a clue about IT. I understand it involves getting Microsoft certifications.

I would say that the Polynesian inhabitants of Aotearoa New Zealand, Ha'waii, and Rapa Nui/Easter Island are all the evidence one needs.
Medicare doesn’t cover 100% of medical costs. You still have a 20% coinsurance you have to pay, which could be any amount.
Oh wow, that is indeed a fun fact, I did not know that!

I am creating a couple of open source tools for data governance. The first one is a data catalog (1) with tags for PII data. The second one is a data lineage application (2). The goal is to keep these as simple as possible to install and use.

IMO the current options are too complicated or expensive and appropriate for the largest companies. I cannot hack a simple application for data discovery or usage statistics. So I am building a dead simple data catalog that I can reuse. The data lineage app is the first app on it.

The point you have made repeatedly is that other programmers should aspire to use the style you prefer, even if they currently find it difficult to read.

In this comment you make the opposite point: that one should write in a style readers will most easily understand as they currently are.

You may think, because one example is of code and the other of prose, that those points are not in conflict--but they are.
That's a straw man, I never said they're an invasion threat. They're a threat to US military superiority.
Wow, that sounds awful. I've only spent time in hospitals a couple of times but the ones I've been in (public or private) were always very professional and hygienic.
Maybe the last thing the human race needs is a machine that behaves like a human with the speed and precision of a computer?
If you read into traditional Polynesian navigation techniques, they were very good at inferring the existence and direction of far off land based on birds, wave patterns etc.
There is plenty of data lost in Google Search Console due to the limit of max 1000 records for any time period. The real value is in the long tails and they are lost.

I am working on creating a solution that gathers the data normally not seen in console dashboard and discovering actionables that help the user.
We use Paystand for Credit Cards (2.49% + 30¢), ACH and eCheck 25¢ 0%. Services business. Import transactions into Xero. Monthly fee $299. We pass the CC fee to customers.
Async is superior. I have done processes with locks in shared memory. I have done threads. But I predict Async will slowly start to take over. Processes are not suitable for working on shared data. Threads frequently yield race conditions and deadlocks even for experienced coders. But Async doesn't have any of these issues. So why isn't it more popular? For two reasons:

1) it completely breaks the functional programming model that we all learned as toddlers (instead of call A and then, after that's done, call B, Async is call A which just installs B as a callback, returns immediately and then an "event loop" calls B). Note that promises and tasks and futures are just "syntactic sugar". Personally I'm not a fan. I don't use any of that. I just use callbacks.

2) Even though Async it's great for concurrency, it's not great for parallelism. Everything runs with one thread. So if you want parallel processing you need workers.

But I would argue that issue 1 can be overcome. In fact, I find Async to be quite elegant. I think in the long term people are going to realize that maybe we've had it backwards all along.

Issue 2 is actually not that big of a deal for most things. It's actually somewhat unusual that you need to have some CPU intensive operation running in the background. Maybe image processing, data modelling, etc. But most blocking operations are just I/O operations which are not using CPU that much. If I needed to write some kind of network server, I would look at using libuv as a portable runtime.
I want the phone to block made up numbers. There is a North American Numbering Plan that defines the ranges of valid numbers. I should not be able to receive an incoming call from any number that is not part of the numbering plan.
Wow, that's really neat! I sometimes hesitate to save something because I think "when would I really come back to this?" But this would probably get me to save more things that I find interesting.
I'm not so sure.

I'm sure.

My daughters generation isn't fazed in the least by being bombarded by ads, and I've even heard some of her friends express (paraphrased) "why worry...everyone has something embarrassing on the Net".

Ring is (apparently) wildly popular. I know dozens of houses in my neighborhood who have installed it, and many of them think the privacy invading parts are, at worst, a 'necessary evil', and some folks think the parts like "open access for LEA" are awesome. I've only talked to perhaps 2 homes where they were "I'm not comfortable with that".

Trust is a tricky thing to establish and virtually impossible to regain.

I don't disagree, but I don't think 'trust' is still built on the things it used to be built on.
Roadmap: Remote Work
First: Chelsea Manning was a Federal/Military Criminal inmate housed in a Federal prison, her case is in no way controlling in the state correctional system

Second: Manning was a high profile prisoner, who secured loud counsel to argue for what is a popular talking point medical issue (I do not mean to imply that her issue and those also seeking similar surgeries are not important or deserving of attention for their desires). If she had diabetes and wanted a pump instead of daily insulin shots the outcome may have been different.
There are a number of things it offers. Being able to play high end triple A games on a chromebook or a cheap computer would be a huge boon. Not everyone wants to(or has the means to) spend 1300+ dollars on a gaming computer. Also there is also the casual market. Even the people who do want to play games and have the money, it's hard to justify the cost if you just play like 1 or 2 games per year. Another huge boon is the ability to switch between devices and places. Going from your television to your office to your laptop, or from your house to a hotel, to a friends house, or whatever has huge amounts of utility.
I work at Google (on Firebase) but I am asking this question as a regular mobile developer.

What do people on HN find acceptable in the apps they use? As a developer I want some basic analytics and crash reporting so I'm not just stumbling in the dark but I would hate for my users to say that I'm tracking them involuntarily. Is there a way to strike a balance that seems fair? Are there particular services people trust?
> 1/3rd of people is more than statistically significant, so yes, it does support that conclusion.

It decidedly does not support the conclusion. The percent of the population studies were those who had filed a lawsuit about solitary confinement. This is the definition of a biased sample.
"fine" with NAT is a bit of an overstatement, I don't think anyone who has seriously interacted with IPSEC would call it anything but a gigantic pain in the ass

Transitioning from C# to Elixir
Yes! It's funny you mention that I just bought The Sovereign Individual — haven't read it yet but from cursory glance I think there is a lot of intersection. Would love to discuss more — we have a discord I can invite you to if you're interested, just ping me at the email in my profile.
That's a quite different situation, Artifact is a dead product while Stadia is a recently launched product.
I can read wiki, but the source of 1944 article is hardly wiki material, as there is no mention of similar ideas about ancient China. If you scroll that wiki link you posted, then you can find this link with dates for civilizations:
http://www.ancienthistorylists.com/ancient-civilizations/10-...

What's the use of learned knowledge, if it can't be used for practical purposes? Your definition of civilization is enough to ponder what makes civilization now:

one internet for communication, K-POP, impossibility to do isolated science, global corporations with factories in China, that will suffer shortages because of Coronavirus, that can be spread by connecting airlines. Suddenly Chinese eating habits is concern for the rest of the world.
You are talking a different time scale. Take a look at this figure from the article:
