Totally agree. Back then in XP I'd always disable search indexing, prefetch and superfetch in order to reduce that constant disk activity.
This reminds me of back in the 90’s when the store I worked at replaced an old electronic cash register with one run by a computer.

It was so slow and I had no idea why. The display was a standard text screen of 40 x 80. The math is dead simple and the only other thing it did was open the cash drawer. The computer was a 486-40MHz so better than the one I had a home that ran Ultimate 7 just fine.
I love AMD and I am super impressed with the performance of this new CPU. Especially when comparing to top offering from Intel. But, how did they manage to catch up on Intel? Is there a catch? How did it go so wrong for Intel?
> "Records don't change that often so "bad things" would happen far less often if the failure mode was the client was behind on replication."

That's... an entirely environment specific situation whether that's true or not.

If you're doing modern CI/CD practices with k8s, etc - those records might be valid for minutes at a time.

In many situations it's better to specifically get a DNS Resolution failure than to get out of date records.

That at least should be noticeable and obvious to the application and anything/anyone monitoring/using it.

> They want a DNS system where the server pushes record updates to the clients.

This is what Zone transfers between DNS servers are.

Running a DNS Server on each client in your network seems like an overly complicated situation but hey, if you want to do that - you can. I suspect it'll cause more problems than it solves by just having a set of well monitored/configured DNS servers.
Nice. No React or Angular here! Wonder if that's normal for government projects?
It was worth reading and by any measure the first great writeup on the virus and the bravery to fight it.
The whole thing is worth reading. Hats off to all the bravery around to fight the virus and save lives.
I know the dev and he isn't actually a student, his GitHub profile was just not updated.

Not to say that there aren't many university students interested in challenging topics like emulator development - I am one myself and know several other students in the emudev scene.

Anyway, university doesn't play a big role for most people, you don't learn many relevant things regarding that there anyway (other than bare essentials).
You learn by doing. Just need to be curious enough to motivate you. That's true for most programming topics, not just emudev.
This is great. Looks like two racing jellies now.

My brain feels broken.
Protecting the rainforest is fine, but relying on loggers being scared of mosquitoes isn’t an effective way to do it. What if they find good repellents? Or start spraying the forest before logging? We can kill the mosquitoes and work to save the forest, they’re not exclusive.
Tried it, similar for me! Interesting find
I've used FileLocator Pro as my Explorer CTRL+F replacement for years, and I love it.

Fast, doesn't rely on fragile indexing, and finds stuff Microsoft always seems to miss.
TLDR: Be very skilled or be likable.

Be very good than most team members in your tech skills and demonstrate it when chance presents, that will make them respect your judgement. If your tech skills are not on par with some of the team members that's fine, but you need to handle them differently. Time and time again i have seen skilled members of the team will question authority if they don't get along with team leads. Remember the cost of replacing a manager or techlead is low compared to skilled people because they get paid lower usually. You may have to delegate work but you must be the most skilled guy in the team or you should have a very likable personality.
Hmmm... I'm not sure if you're attacking or defending my statement here. :P
But I'd like to say I disagree with the "without any real information" part of your argument.

Looking at these things without taking into account prior similar cases will lead to sub-optimal decisions, because if you don't take into account that similar stories have played out before, you'll have to take the industry's word for it that "this data will only be used to sell you stuff." And later you'll have to take the government's word for it that "we'll only use this to defend the border." And so on.

But we have seen these things play out before. That is why "First they came for..." was written. We can already predict how this going to go from here. And personally, I don't like the way it's going.

I’m fairly sure the JS standard guarantees that no layouting (or any form of rendering) would happen mid function execution. Haven’t looked in the source code yet, but if they do

function updateAllClocks() {
A.innerHTML = ...;
B.innerHTML = ...;
}

Then A and B would update on the screen on the same frame and the order doesn’t matter (If A is not parent of B or vice versa of course)

This is not true if they do a lot of setTimeouts(), but is true for all other “normal” synchronous code.
Exactly, it's just Bing without the image or video snippets in the middle. Other than that... it knows I am in Paris, however shows the current temperature in Fahrenheit. So no, bye-bye Lycos.

Patent trolls get paid because short-sighted companies make the decision to pay. Simply put, it is usually cheaper in the short run to pay a troll than it is to litigate. It is also cheaper to give a schoolyard bully your lunch money than it is to visit a doctor. The thing is, once you pay the bully, he’ll just come back again and again and again. Eventually, that lunch money adds up to a lot more than a doctor’s visit. In the long run the best way to deal with a bully is to punch him square in the face. You might take a beating, but if you do it every time? The bully will find easier prey.
>>>

This is very naive. Patent trolls get paid because they are highly effective at weaponizing the legal system.
So, if you're interested in starting a software business, it seems like the risk of being sued by a troll is close to 100% - how do you budget for this? Is there something like insurance you can buy?
I love Anjunabeats, Above&Beyond, and I really dig what Lane8 is doing. "Howling Hand" seems to stick out for me and I've added it to the more relaxed of my top-tier playlists. But overall it's just a little too chill for me.

Have you heard the ABGT350 Deep warmup set? It's a nice journey, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5ZhKyOxZns
Your tone sounds a bit insulted, what's the matter? Is it because they called SAP hideous?

I don't know what many of the terms mean you name, and I severely doubt that every business (or most) does. Doesn't mean they're not important, but most definitely just firing off a bunch of random terms fully expecting people not to understand most of them, is a weak way to prove a point.

I have seen however on the consumer side what happens when businesses "changes the business" to fit a particular piece of business planning software that is "Hideous. hideous". You're working with nice people, well-meaning people, doing their best for you the customer. And it everything well for a while and you place your trust in them. But then walls appear. And appointments get rescheduled. And they want to help you but they can't. Some people leave, a particular kind of person stays. Communication between peers grinds to a halt. If something goes wrong, they can't pick it up so it falls on you the customer to deal with or reschedule (or other inconvenience), every time. You want to get angry at the people, but you also see they are so very much doing their best, but something is holding them back. A particular kind of person is particularly good at merely keeping their head above water and not suffer the burnout many of their ex-colleagues did.

I'm not saying that it can't work well. I bet it's great when it works well. But when it doesn't it's a silent killer.

> I think it's more likely your age group.

I agree, that's certainly part of it and I'm happy to hear that young people are still obsessed about music. I'm not suggesting you need physical media to do it, but I am saying the medium has changed things to some degree.

Back then, if we wanted a mix tape, we'd have to mix it. Now, spotify generates five new ones each day for each of us, or we can request a new one on the fly for any genre, mood, artist, etc. So, it makes me wonder how these tools have changed the way young people today consume music. For example, how much of your digital listening is to entire albums start to finish vs some kind of mix/random play? What are you doing (if anything) while you listen to a complete album? Are you buying albums specifically or listening to them on a subscription service?
The ideal combination would obviously be a manually triggered automatic (ideally dual clutch - the torque converter also adds to the mushy feel). But not like in my parents' B-class (a real old people's vehicle) with dual clutch, which takes what feels like over a second to respond to manual inputs. Shifting back a few gears (out of seven) for engine braking is an exercise in frustration.

> I would have gone for Atherosclerosis instead of lung cancer personally.

Okay, but that isn't fully within anyone's control either, and you're still ignoring the diseases that are predominantly genetic, the ones that happen more or less randomly as far as we can tell, the ones caused by environmental factors in childhood, and all the people who get a 'preventable' disease despite doing what they could do avoid it.

I'll stop arguing after this though, I think we're either talking past each other about the definitions of 'vast majority' and 'preventable', or having an unspoken argument about the general attitude we should adopt toward people with health problems, or at a factual impasse that we can both google our way around if we care enough.

> I've never made an Uber driver wait for me, I'll greet the driver, and I can't imagine how someone can be a better customer.

This is really the bare minimum. I know a ton of drivers who care less about wait time than some other annoying tics their customers might have. I've lived in a region where the median rating seems to be around a 4.4. I've never met someone with a 4.1 uber rating.

I'm going to postulate that you're being VERY rude in a way you don't know. Maybe have someone ride with you and critique your behavior.

I think the dumping (and re-instating) of wrestling was a good thing for the sport as it forced to innovate in places where it had become insanely passive and boring with very few watching or really caring.
Daaaang, should have gone with tripod instead of geocities. :(
Yea I was thinking about this and I never use OS search either. I suspect the reason it's "broken" is because Microsoft has the data that says most people don't use the feature and therefore it's not worth the improvement cost.
Both games and the firmware are encrypted with several layers of encryption.
That is overkill, and in the end they manage to deliver an acceptable results.

You see, the problem of app developers, especially in big companies, is that they are given a top-notch smartphones, so they naturally target such hardware as a benchmark for performance, which moves every year. That's why a 2016 Moto Z play smartphone ran smoothly in 2016, but works really slow in 2020 - because all the regular apps (Gmail, Chrome, FB, etc) were updated with newer flagship smartphones in mind. "New build works really fast on my new Pixel 4", the Gmail developer thinks, "ship in to production!"
My internet point comes into my apartment at one end. I'd like to have decent speeds on my laptop that's at the other end. I rent the apartment, so any cabling I do needs to either be loose cabling across the floor (dangerous), or neatly done but also capable of being totally removed without doing any damage (expensive in time, if not money).

Comparatively, buying a 802.1AC capable router is cheap (in time, if not money) and portable when I invariably end up moving again.

I mean, I could also get Ethernet over Powerline, but that subject to even more jitter and variable throughput, costs a comparable amount, and then means my laptop loses it's mobility.

And then there's my wireless-only-by-default devices like my phone and tablet and other laptop...
Case mortality rate for typical flu in the US/EU is about 0.05% - 0.1%.

(High-consequence flu strains such as H5N1 can have case fatality rates of as much as 60%. Not all flus are created equal.)

Case mortality rate for 2019-nCoV has been reported from 1% to as high as 6%, with lower values more plausible.

That's a 10x to 120x greater mortality, and again, lower rates appear more likely. The high end isn't great, but is still below 200x.

Key differences are that we have vaccine and curative treatment for influenza. Neither are 100%, but both are effective in many cases.
Still gotta emulate a very modern AMD GPU :)
Just the shader translation (from GCN -> SPIR-V so it can be passed to the host gfx driver) is quite a challenging task actually.

Not to mention the fact that the PS4 has an APU and utilizes Uniform memory access (UMA). A simplified explanation is that both the GPU and CPU can read/write the same memory (with _very_ high bandwidth compared to conventional PCs), which will likely make optimizing high-end games that take advantage of this difficult.
So your point is basically that everybody should keep using badly complicated software forever because they're not that special and what they really want anyway, is beyond their mortal comprehension.

Seriously though, how do you envision a future where a leaner, better coded alternative appears?

Also honestly, why are you being so defensive about it.
I reversed the direction, changed the scale and the colors and got a moonwalk-like motion instead. Change the colors back to #ff0 and #00f to see what difference they make!

I seem to be the first to raise the Deming point of view again, but I'm glad to, so here goes:

One of the big problems with trying to rate workers is that most workers have approximately the same rating. In other words, the differences in ratings are not statistically significant; they are just as well explained by pure chance.

Building a system where you incentivise and promote on a random draw of cards is bad in and of itself, but doing it and then labeling it as being based on merit is actively hostile to anything you're trying to accomplish. You are building a culture of people stabbing each other in the back in desperation to win your lottery, and not a healthy environment of cooperation and focus on productivity.

Yes, sometimes you have a worker who performs off the charts in either direction. That's a great opportunity! If they perform much better than someone else, put them in a position where they can coach and train others in how to do things that well. If they are much worse, try training them or otherwise find them a different job they can do better.

Other than that special case, the only way to improve the performance of the system is to give the workers better tools, better information, better understanding, more cooperation, better ability to do their job. The manager is the only one standing in the way of the workers doing a better job.

But then how do you assign bonuses and raises when everyone performs approximately the same? Split them across everyone. That simple. Think in terms of incentivising the team, not the individual.

And things like promotions that can't be shared among many people? Ask the workers themselves who they think are a good fit for the position. Chances are they know that hell of a lot better than a manager will. And it is abundantly clear how to get a promotion: make a good impression on your team. Cooperate, teach, help out, be nice, do good work. And these are -- by a weird coincidence -- just the things you want to accomplish.
Also, the small fees paid to the bully is spread out over the victims. The large fee required to stop the bully in that instance is also spread out across all victims. So each victim is computing "small < large" not "10x small > large". The latter may be true for the attacker, but unless the victims band together, it's not true for the defenders.

This is the perniciousness of the petty injustice. It's the small fees, the little charges, the nickels and dimes that we all ignore because life is too short, and they add up to great fortunes. It's wrong and should be illegal, but that's how the world works right now.
Honestly who fucking cares. Run to run. If you care about someone's footwear you are a wanker.
> where your games work if you already bought the hardware

I think that's called ‘remote play’.

Also the principle with consoles in the first place is dodging the headaches of the PCs' configuration zoo. Emulation, ahem, doesn't fit in with this course.
Well, AMD is led by a highly accomplished semiconductor physicist (who seems to possess great leadership ability as well) which can't be bad. Intel apparently took a few chances that went the wrong way with its 7nm manufacturing process.

As an outsider it's hard to say much else without a lot of speculation.
> So punish smaller European firms first just to not give the impression that it's anti-US?

Yes, go fine every other company that throttled processor clock rates when battery power supply was low. Apply the law equally and that would convince me that this isn't discriminatory enforcement.

The reality is that this would never be carried out, since effectively every phone, tablet, or laptop maker would be fined. Throttling processor clock rates when battery voltage is low is something that every good electronics manufacturer does. Because if they didn't your device would stop working when the battery is old, close to discharged, too cold, or more. By throttling clock rates, the phone still functions but with a slower clock rate. The user impact is strictly better (a slowdown vs. a crash or not even being able to boot). Every mobile device manufacturer did (and still does) do the same thing that Apple did to its iPhones.

Keto Diet Nutrition Goals The basic standard to counting calories and muscle gain is: bring down your general caloric admission to get more fit, and raise your caloric admission to pick up bulk. A typical conviction is that you need starches so as to make more insulin creation, which prompts more muscle protein union. This isn't valid, you just need a limited quantity of insulin to capitalize on protein combination.

When OrderedDict is compared with another OrderedDict, it also checks whether the order of items is the same (this way also violating LSP, but that's another story), dict instances don't do that.
The extent to which the people are responsible for the actions of their government varies significantly between countries, even among developed democracies. The UK constitution (like those of several other developed democracies, but unlike others) promotes minority control, voter apathy, and polarisation.
Skylake is Intel's analog of Boeing B737.

You can't keep milking the old cow that can't calve.

AMD made a very good bet on Intel not sending Skylake to the butcher, and instead reacting with a lot of "*lake" updates.

Intel needed a quick patch to stop bleeding clients, but, ultimately, that decision to not to commit to a brand new architecture doomed them long term.
The way to solve this would be to have an overlay everywhere, such as the one that tha browser extensions afford where you can see a layer of reviews that are truly independent.

Maybe AR will open a new door there... I know it would be an extremely hard problem to solve - it might involve cutting-edge techniques in AR, AI, computer vision and so on - but I think there might be a billion dollar market there.

The pain certainly exists as reviews could be useful, but they're trash almost everywhere (Uber, AirBnB, Google, Amazon, Deliveroo, etc.) due to platform-owner incentives.
> If you've spent a career programming in C and you're complaining about Rust, you're right. Rust isn't for you, it's for your replacement.

LOL, I wish. I've been told I was going to be replaced every 5 years for the last 20 years of my career. I fucking wish they did so I could finally retire but I keep being given money and cool problems so I stay waiting for this fangled replacement who will come and take my job.
But for some people it just does work. Without the need for any hacks, just some tweaking of settings. So when I see people saying they roll there eyes when they they see those claims, I say: think a bit further, consider other factors. Like, it depends on what you do with it perhaps, on the hardware?
If you don't hear the difference, I am afraid I don't quite know how to answer your question.
From a hobbyist-producing viewpoint, I tried both: digital and analog producing. While digital is very convenient, it tends to sound hollow and empty without a lot of tr5icks or professionally-written plugins.
If you power on your favourite analog synth, it basically instantly sounds like something.
However, if you don't hear that difference yourself, I am at a loss how to explain it to you.
As a listener, I have the same feeling. Digital productions can be very sophisticated these days, but if I listen closely, I almost hear the bits.
I don't think their 10 minute update interval is based on the performance limitations of the HTTP protocol, but used because it's simply not necessary to do it more often.

Maintaining an open full duplex connection for a single fetch request every ten minutes sounds like terrible overengineering that in the end is probably much worse performance wise.

Both protocols use TCP as an underlying protocol. So the latency of the timedata from the final request should be pretty much the same (neglectible differences due to larger HTTP header that needs to be sent and parsed on receive). We don't really care about the additional round-trips before, because they don't affect the clockdrift.

However, if you really do care about the clockdrift due to client-server latency there are protocols like NTP that try to calculate that drift and minimize it.
