That's the I-35 corridor. An interstate highway running north/south all the way from Mexico to Canada. It was probably the most hyped/utilized part of NAFTA. I live in Dallas where I-35 runs through (actually splits in Waco to cover both Dallas and Ft. Worth, reconnecting north around Denton). I grew up in a small city south of Dallas, and remember all of the highway construction that got spurred by NAFTA. That area (Ellis county) also had a construction boon due to the Super Conduction Super Collider.
Justin Kan got into a terrible motorbike accident few months ago [1] . He then went through lot of thoughts on meaningful life and such kind of things in his tweets later. Would that impact the performance / outcome of Atrium?

"Missed out" doesn't seem like the right phrase here. If you already owned the stock, you still held it, no?

So people who were going to continue to sell off got lucky that they couldn't make that trade, and people who were going to buy got unlucky?

Does anyone seriously expect compensation, or think that it's deserved, or is it group wishful thinking? How would it even work? Would they just take people's word for their supposed intent? Or are people wanting some sort of "here's a gift card" type deal?

This is not to defend RobinHood - I've personally kept my money with well-established companies cause conservative, old, proven systems seem like a good thing for a product in this space - but shit happens, no? There will be more good days, and more bad days, in the market, it's a long-run game anyway, and it's pretty easy to vote with your wallet in this space.
I was re-invigorated a few years back after doing nothing but webdev when I was thrown into a SysOps role (on AWS primarily). Having a webdev background helped when building small applications to hack things together.
Not all features have to do anything with backward compatibilities. I agree with the fact that features should be added with caution cause new features can interact with existing features in a non-trivial way that will introduce lot of edge cases. But it's hard to see why a feature like text block would introduce more complexities.
And search, something that Ubuntu HUD/Unity (now on the extinction path) solved in a very elegant way. Hundred of menu options nested in remote menu folders made available by typing names. Best of both worlds, if you ask me.
Part of the reason law firms are resistant to technological change is that they are paid hourly (for the most part) and therefore do not yearn for efficiencies. If it increases efficiency, they will literally lose money in hourly billings.
Then fine. Go with the Buddhist standard, and the goal is to reduce suffering.

Unless I have an SLA with a provider outlining penalties, they don't owe me anything if they go down. How is this any different?
Genuine question: With no commission trading at places like Schwab and eTrade, is it even worth trading on Robinhood? For as far as I could remember (about 2 years ago), Robinhood has always failed to scale.
I was having problems with my cable internet periodically dropping out for a few minutes at a time, it took them two or three tries, and every time the support guy came out they were very careful to tell me that "your neighbors grow lights may cause that when they switch on at some particular time every night". So I guess they do put out quite a bit of RF noise ;)

Think it was a firmware bug in the modem, because the modem never realized it was offline or showed a connectivity disruption on the street. Luckily it dropped off one time while I was on the phone with a tech. They were using a new Charter Spectrum branded modem and as soon as they swapped to an Arris it stopped happening.

This is distressingly common, and not just in the valley.

I've seen numerous film deals fall apart because the producer didn't want to take a 10-30% discount on their standard fee (we're talking in the realm of a $150k discount on a personal take of 500k-1.5m on a deal), films that otherwise would've actually been made ended up falling apart because someone wanted to extract just that much more value.

Kinda like overplaying the market, really.

> What's missing for sparc64 in Clang?

My memory here is fuzzy because I'm very much not interested in Sparc, but, as far as technical shortcomings: there are integrated-assembler (ias) pieces missing; ld.lld support is extremely incomplete; it's missing a working stack unwinder. If you look for Sparc work in Clang upstream, it becomes obvious that it's not active.

The biggest thing missing was interest (and associated time and resources). People have had 6-12 months to step up if they wanted to work on moving platforms off of GCC4.2.1, and unlike for every other tier 2-3 arch formerly on GCC, no one showed up to work on Sparc.

> We have Clang on sparc64 in Debian Ports.

As in you can compile Clang on sparc (using GCC / binutils as the system compiler), or as in you can actually build Debian for sparc64 using Clang?

Here's some more context around missing pieces:

Car parks are notorious light polluters as well. These are large parking lots where car manufacturers off load cars by rail for their "last mile" delivery to the area dealerships. The lights are meant to keep the thief away. On top of the horrendous light pollution, they also cause massive* traffic headaches where the trains can come to a complete park for 20-30 minutes while the train cars with autos are connected/disconnected.

*The one I lived near was in a pretty small town, so the traffic might have been only 10-15 cars on either side of the tracks. Massive is directly proportional to your direct involvement of being stuck.
I know quite a few people that were personally affected by this and lost money due to the two outages and they are all pulling their money from Robinhood. The fact that they can't offer any compensation might be a big problem for them, since they already have zero trading fees, which is what most brokerages offer as compensation.

Personally it doesn't pass the smell test for me. The load was much higher the previous week and load problems go away once the load disappears. They probably had a lot less load the rest of the day, so the fact they were down the entire day suggests it was something else. I would need a fully transparent post mortem before I believed anything they said.
401k vs pension plays into the republican talking points on a number of fronts.

Its "personal responsibility" vs "socialism" because it shifts the burden and risk from companies and the state (in the form of pension guarantee/insurance) to the individual. Which repeatedly has been shown to be a disaster on quite a number of fronts, not the least of which poor returns or a economic disaster like 2008 completely screws people who expect to retire at a certain time. This turns around and has national economic consequences because so many people instead of retiring in 2008 simply kept working, which meant that those most in need of new jobs had an even harder time finding them.

Its also problematic because younger people who are paid less are more in need of front-loading their retirement so that they can benefit from a longer growth cycle are the least likely to be able to afford it.

Then there are all the issues with the way 401ks are managed vs even IRA's which create an entire industry where the sole purpose seems to be to reduce returns below market rates. Most people would be better off simply buying vanguard total market indexes from a discount broker vs all the fees and overhead brought on by all the middlemen "adding" value by reducing the returns.

Pretty much the entirely of most pension programs problems are caused by companies/organizations that simply ignore long term average returns and under-fund the pensions. Until the 1980/1990's the mandatory formulas for pensions and what they were allowed to invest in were quite strict, but then all that was gradually loosened until now we have a bunch of cases where the pension made bad investments (CalPERS), made wildly exaggerated statements of expected returns, or massively underestimated liabilities (GM) and find themselves in situations where they can't cover current liabilities.
It is different, but otherwise GE would just what, pile up the money? Cancelling dividends is only a drag on a stock if it's a sign that they can't afford to pay them regularly. In a hypothetical scenario where GE decided 20 years ago to stop paying dividends (to enable a better apples:apples comparison of stock price over time), they would have been just as profitable for that time period but today their balance sheet would have a ton more cash. I'm just calling into doubt whether that would have negatively impacted their share price or outlook at all.

It's all academic anyway, I think we're saying the same thing.
Yes! When I was little my mom had my brother and I grow carrots in pots. Later we graduated to zucchini, tomatoes, and strawberries, but the carrots were just in a small pot.
Sad that there isn’t an actual apology anywhere to be found in the letter at all.

And now with the fed rate cut the interest on cash is only 1.3%, with more cuts expected later in the year, which was the last big differentiator. I don’t see how they don’t see massive net withdrawals going forward.

Prime95 helped me weed out a flaky power supply. The system would randomly freeze. The cursor would just stop moving, along with everything else. Otherwise the machine was working perfectly.

I figured it that Prime95 triggered the freeze within 30 seconds of staring the torture test. Then it was just a matter of swapping out the ram and then the power supply. The new power supply let the computer go on running the test.
Well if you think about it, the original concept behind Atrium was to kill a business model.

I don't have time to read this whole study, but am a little skeptical of the hypothesis.

Much of natural language aptitude is about fuzzy logic with lots of exceptions (in English at least) and contextual intuition (especially in Chinese). Whereas programming computers requires more mathematical oriented thinking and raw working memory for abstract symbolic logic.

I recall Joel Spolsky (I think) wrote in one of his essays a long time ago, that one of the obstacles to learning programming for some people is that they kept trying to find some kind of meaning in the symbols. Eg they remember things by associating meaning with them. Whereas people who pick up programming more easily have no need to find meaning, they just remember things directly without any kind of association aids.

Natural language is all about meaning on multiple levels - literal, contextual and implicit. Someone naturally good at that may not necessarily be naturally good at programming.

For anyone who read the study, was this addressed in any way?
I'm married, with kids. I have more social interaction than I need. Also there's far more communication with remote work than face to face.

Office work doesn't necessarily have that much interaction either; only half my jobs we had lunch together or talked every now and then.

I think the thing to be careful about with remote work is you don't move around enough. It's tempting to skip lunch or even bathroom breaks, and sitting on the chair too long is likely to make you feel bad.
I'm always amazed by how tricky DNS failures can be.
> because consumers were expected to just type in, literally, "petstore.com" and then shop there

What a fascinating prediction. Its interesting that these days there is almost nothing useful on these "default" domain names and no user would ever type them in without knowing what was on it. Maybe the landgrab actually caused this since "petstore.com" was always owned by someone hoping to sell it later instead of using it for a legitimate website.
I keep separate «diary» for personal stuff and «devlog» for work-related notes. Different files in different languages, so it’s never mixed. I almost never reread any of those. At times the devlog is a handy reference though. It’s also amusing to be able to peek at some day in the past and see what you thought back then. Sadly, it’s more like an ability that incites me, not any real use that it can be for therapeutic reasons.

I can relate to the feeling of «lost time». Sometimes I’ve missed to write a day and it felt that it never happened at all, why did I even bothered living through that day? Sometimes I’ve lost entries due to software malfunction and it felt like that app maliciously killed my experiences. Learned the lesson the hard way and keep text files since.
Most people who bill at those rates are no better than people who bill $300.
You could view it as a business decision. Will they lose reputation and customers if they don't compensate for the outage? Do they expect that the long-term cost of that loss would be more than the one-time hit of paying out now?

They may not have a legal/contractual obligation here, but that doesn't mean that treating their customers poorly is without consequence.
Yes, I agree. Keep the clock time all the same all year round; but businesses & government offices should change timings like 8-5 in Winter & 7-4 in Summer (Numbers just an example). When I was a kid in Punjab India, our schools used to shift the timings by one hour in April & September; means duration of school stays same, but it is more aligned to Solar Time twice a year. Summers like 7am-2pm; Winters 8am-3pm.
It's probably also true that the FSF is more of a pain to work with than absolutely necessary — they want copyright assignment, have some abhorrent code style, and still insist on tracking useless diff summaries in ChangeLog files long after the invention of RCS systems.

From their supplementary table this looks like a general cognitive ability effect, although they don't seem to have included the range of measures that are typically included in general cognitive ability measures.

The short answer is that it's difficult to say from their results, and they don't explicitly test that, but it looks like it.

There were plenty, basically none of these savants understood economics so they didn't build a demand model, they only built a supply model. So people got paid in coin and just flooded the market until it was worth nothing.

Crypto mining rigs are proving far more productive than Seti or Folding@Home ever did. Economic pressures push the real energy heavy miners into places with renewable energy and also repurposing waste byproducts into electricity, so this is actually one of the most useful and cleanest sector on the planet, ironically the opposite of what people are saying. Protip: Headlines only tell you "how much" energy is being used and not the source, and this is very intentional.

I think there a a number of cases where cities and individuals are acting irrationally.
The city of Monetary, CA, is refusing to disembark a cruise ship from San Francisco, CA, which boarded less than a day before 100 miles away. San Francisco has not had any cases of the virus and the ship screened passengers for fever.

There is also a lot of phobia and persecution of Asian Americans, despite the fact that most US cases are not Asian.

The value of the paper is that it's where Facebook first started getting creative: a massive (N=689,00!), barely-consented-to (successful) attempt to sway the emotional states of hundreds of thousands of people.

That's both groundbreaking and constructive, if constructive in a way that harms people who don't have Facebook stock.

It set the stage for so much of what's happening today. Acting like it's just another boring paper is baffling.

How did proof itself get so reliable? The process of convincing yourself that a proof is correct isn't so different from the process of convincing yourself that a program is correct.
Presto is mostly an engine that runs on top of other databases, although it does have its own query execution engine.

The basic idea behind Presto is that it federates other databases, and supports doing joins across them. From what I understand, the problem that it solved at Facebook is bridging the gap between different teams; if a team has MySQL and another has files stored on HDFS, it doesn't really matter because all you do is query Presto and it'll query both under the covers. The alternative is setting up data pipelines, and dealing with the ongoing issues of maintaining those data pipelines.
I think the missing subtlety here is simple design vs. simple to use or simple to learn. Vim is very simple in design, but not at all simple to learn.
There could be folks holding leveraged Bear ETFs or similar after last week's downturn, who were waiting to see how the market moved Monday morning to decide whether to sell or hold. I could see those folks losing quite a bit of money due to the inability to sell off those types of positions after the market reversed course on Monday.

I suspect you're right though, that it's mostly sour grapes concerning the opposite case - inability to buy as the market rallied.
Sorry, I was unclear. By ctrl_r I meant the right ctrl key, pressed on its own with nothing else. Binding Ctrl+r might be possible. It's also been about a year since I last tried, so there may be a solution now.

But alas your probably like me and by the time I actually purchased one for myself the overclocking abilities were much less than the original ones which went from 300->500Mhz fairly easily.
