For my site, I use Redis in addition to PostgreSQL for these purposes:

- User session storage

- Asynchronous "queues" for background processing using Streams (was able to eliminate RabbitMQ from my stack when I switched to this)

- Rate-limiting with a GCRA (via https://github.com/brandur/redis-cell)

- Bloom filter checks, specifically for making sure people aren't using passwords in data breaches (via https://github.com/RedisBloom/RedisBloom with data from https://haveibeenpwned.com/passwords)
Its a lot more than I expected. Thanks for pointing this out.
I especially liked the comparison of a cytokine storm to the governments' response to the virus.

As soon as I read that the antibodies tests were showing that approx. 1/4 of NYC most likely already had the virus, and did a little basic math with the latest data on death rates, I realized that the lockdowns no longer make sense in NYC.

I guess that means I am now in the same bandwagon as Musk, Trump, and all the other supposed idiots or deniers that think this virus is not as deadly as it first appeared.

Intel sold their XScale ARM design to Marvell.
> Shouldn't parents be doing this?

Ideally, yes. But rather than focus on what parents should be doing, let's consider what parents are doing and how that affects the wellbeing of their kids. Should we give up on kids with bad parents, or should our society aim to diminish the impact of bad parenting?
You're right, my article does lean towards a potential dark future. You're also right that it is subjective; it is, by design, an opinion piece not an academic one.

I went to MIT. MIT is corrupt as !@#$. The amount of money flowing into private pockets at the higher levels is insane. Corrupt isn't the same is criminal -- most of the activity goes through networks of lawyers and loop holes (although criminal activity happens too).

My opinion is that to be eligible for federal financial aid, there ought to be some cap on tuition+expenses at a level students can afford. Subsidizing $200k tuition makes no sense to me. Either students are already very rich, or they'll end up with a painful amount of debt.

I'd much rather have an MIT with old, rundown buildings, low-paid professors, few administrators, and a focus on science and learning (rather than a focus on $300 million buildings, yachts, fancy faculty dining clubs, and increasingly creative ways to funnel money into people's pockets).

It's kind of funny how systemd breaks often when old farts (like us) tinker with something in a way we shouldnt.
Does Borg also track and allocate network usage? That has been an issue for me in compute environments in the past for high IO situations.
Reading your comment really affected me just now. I work in the video games industry, and since entry-level positions are quite competitive (video games are quite popular with younger folks), people make a lot of decisions to take a focused, employer-attractive, career path to be hired. Firms will often hire aspiring designers that have worked doing QA for a few years as well as programmers that have spent a lot of time intentionally studying C++ and rendering.

I appreciate the effort and enthusiasm my coworkers have, but sometimes I feel like the expertise in the industry is too overspecialized. Perhaps it's a product of larger-budget games being more conservative by financial/organizational necessity, but I'd appreciate if the people working there were more well-rounded. I would love more game designers to have a liberal-arts background to inject into their ideas.

Air conditioning, Ventilation perhaps?
While Conroe was definitely solid, last time around in getting there Intel didn't just pursue the technical side of bumping clocks/power, they also engaged in some genuinely illegal anticompetitive practices to get OEMs to not use AMD. So AMD wasn't able to leverage their few years of advantage into marketshare that would enable more sustained R&D, thus when Intel did regain the lead with a new architecture they had lost essentially nothing in the way of strategic position. The $1.25 billion AMD ultimately got out of Intel in a settlement years later didn't erase that advantage.

This time around though Intel isn't in the same position at all to dictate to major market players for a variety of reasons. The current big lucky break catapulting AMD way into the lead is certainly temporary, but it does seem like they'll be able to gain some real marketshare and attention. That will hopefully serve to make this time around end up in a much more stable back and forth.

Oracle has that much cash on hand, and the market cap is inflated by the COVID outbreak. That market cap could be $10B in a week.

Assuming that valuation will stay in place in the economic disaster that we find ourselves is a big leap.

Where are they going to pivot to?
This site has such a pleasant UI, and the text output formatting is so beautiful and meticulous. It seems like a lot of small details at work here too, like the micro-UX with hover effects on a lot of these elements.

Quantum anything is over my head, so I have no idea what I'm looking at, but it's really pretty at least.

---

Looking through the source, a few things pop out:

- Wow, this thing was made entirely in Vanilla JS + CSS, no frameworks of anything. Not a SINGLE dependency in the whole library or site. You don't see that everyday.

- In the code, maybe this is my not understanding, but it seems like the "quantum" bit is probabilities based on Math.random() calls?

const outcomes = matrix.rows.reduce(function (outcomes, row, i) {
outcomes.push({
state:
"|" + parseInt(i, 10).toString(2).padStart(circuit.bandwidth, "0") + "⟩",
probability: Math.pow(row[0].absolute(), 2),
});
return outcomes;
}, []);

// We need to “stack” our probabilities from 0..1.

const outcomesStacked = new Array(this.results.length);
this.results.reduce(function (sum, outcome, i) {
sum += outcome.probability;
outcomesStacked[i] = sum;
return sum;
}, 0);

// Now we can pick a random number
// and return the first outcome
// with a probability equal to or greater than
// that random number.

const randomNumber = Math.random(),
randomIndex = outcomesStacked.findIndex(function (index) {
return randomNumber <= index;
});

Is this how quantum works "under the hood" so to speak?
I would really love to see CodeSubmit succeed.
> poor decomposition of the system into non-discrete components.

You can tar an awful lot of microservices with that brush.
I didn't mention that, but you're right. I also have been putting off having children (and the pandemic didn't help that at all) until my finances are in better shape, and I'm sure there are a lot of people in worse positions than I am.
> do people really expose Redis on the internet?

Do people really still send database traffic unencrypted over unencrypted internal networks?
Life is honestly hard. We can be OK. I have written why, in detail (I hope skimmable/browseable, a tech-simple site: http://lukecall.net/e-9223372036854581716.html .

Feedback welcome.
Postgres admittedly cheated a bit at first with the basic JSON support, validation of JSON but then storing it in a text field didn't quite make it a full document database. But that was also 8 years ago... Even then there is still a valid use case for JSON if you're not looking to parse it or want to preserve the whitespacing-this is handy when recording API input/output for logs.

JSONB came just 2 years later and very much gives more document capabilities. Being a compressed format, the ability to index it, query based on keys and values... all those things make it incredibly handy. It's very rare for me to have an application these days with Postgres that doesn't leverage JSONB in someway.
A hispano-muslim ambassador's journey to the Vikings
I launched my company as a self-funded solo bootstrapper straight out of university. I took some love money, that I mostly didn't use, and bought half of those shares back at ~4x the original price a decade down the road.

2k USD per month is nothing to a large company. Forget about the per month part, just charge a flat 100k USD package with 2 or 3 payment milestones over a quarter or two. You can give away IP too. You don't really care, you're not going to build your end-game software product on top of a rushed prototype anyway.

However, you have to meet with prospects (executives). Lots of them. It's tough to even get one call, but once you get there, the one question to ask is: what's your biggest problem? and then improvise. After many meetings, you will see patterns emerge, both in types of problems and potential solutions.
Why is this downvoted? In the European nations (with the notable exception of Britain), university is free or nearly so.
Birth rates where? Just the US? Or globally or just Western powerhouse counties?

Side note: I remember being shocked the first time I found out that baby boomers and ‘the aging population issue’ weren’t actually global issues and only affected the counties who took the spoils post WW2 (aka western powerhouse countries).

Lots of other counties have very different population ages mixes for example Ireland and Turkey.
Speaking as a college professor, this is true. I started noticing really quickly that there was an implicit expectation that faculty be evaluated on their suitability and/or desire to move into administrative positions. This is fine, but it got mingled with professional administrators brought in from other institutions trained in business administration etc. Our president actually had no experience in higher ed prior to their appointment, it all being in large corporate business, and it was seen as a good thing somehow.

Everything has become very hierarchical, run as a corporation, focused on profit maximization, with those profits going progressively more and more to those higher and higher up the administrative chain.
Can you share how? I’ve heard of borg previously as a inspiration for open source k8s but I’m surprised to hear that it’s very different.
Not really. There is an online MS in Computers Science from Georgia Tech, that's really well regarded and will cost you approximately $8,000 for the whole degree.

A lot of materials science is highly experimental, so it's not super easy to teach advanced skills. I went to a top 10 materials science school for my PhD, and the absolute vast majority of what I learnt was self-taught. However there is a caveat - I self-learnt by doing, and failing multiple times. The advantage of a high ranked school is that the research facilities are top notch and professors bring in external grants, so the research facilities are always maintained at a high standard through overhead costs.
The latest Aviation Week podcast on the dumped $4B plus Boeing M&A deal for the commercial arm of a Brazilian smaller player has one industry insider analyst put positive spin on the 737MAX8. Business as usual.
It would be incredible if they could actually top what AMD has now and is planning in the future. I don't think there will be that same amount of room available to be able to blow away Zen 4 or whatever AMD will have by then.

Jim Keller has said he is technically the manager for thousands of people now and that they are working on even more IPC with even bigger out of order buffers. Even so I don't see the same leap being made in power and single threaded performance.

Then again apple has an incredible amount of performance per watt in their cpus, so I don't know where the limits really are.
My big prediction for education is that a lot of research universities are going to move large lecture halls online (think chem 101, etc) with labs, seminars, and discussions with lower number of slots to abide with moderate social distancing requirements. It provides the primary educational content of lecture, and provides in person opportunities that students desire.

Once we see students and professors like this format compared to either all in person or all online, I think it will stick around. There's clearly a need for both improved efficiencies as well as the desire to have real human interaction, and I suspect this Fall we'll have the golden opportunity to really experiment with it.
Good point, but I was mainly thinking about making a single good decision to multiply your investment, not HFT. Like identifying that it was a good idea to invest in Tesla stock 7 years ago.
Hi. I worry that this sort of tool does not benefit engineering very much; in my experience, Jira and other time-management tools are used to allow product ownership and management to request ever-sillier features, while penalizing engineers who do not make themselves legible with constant status updates.

When designing Tara, how did you account for the power differential between the employees who will be using Tara to record their daily work and the managers who will be using Tara to supervise said employees?
Fair enough (though executive summaries are by nature, lossy contextually).

I don't disagree that InfoSec was a driving force behind the project, and may have given it an unhelpful level of urgency (i.e. pushing for the team to make early decisions/plans too quickly, which anyways resulted in this banned PHP thing lasting 4+ years, seems counterproductive). But even if InfoSec was not a factor, the team knew that staying on MediaWiki was not sustainable, and some kind of migration would've happened eventually.

So I guess what I'm saying is, IMO the perceived pressure from the InfoSec mandate was poorly managed by this team, and ended up exacerbating the problem, but fundamentally the choice to migrate to a different wiki platforms was something the team wanted to do (just maybe on a different schedule or with different plans/priorities, in an alternate universe). Migrating off MediaWiki was not done against their will.

Cliqz never masqueraded anything, only in your odd perception of the world. Advertisement as implemented today is a privacy hazard, but there are other ways to do it, client-side, which is what Cliqz attempted. The same goes for data-collection, you can collect all and put the privacy of the users at risk, or collect only signals that cannot be record-linked, which is what Cliqz did.

Cliqz search was never on par with Google -- I build parts of it -- but was getting there little by little. To be more precise, it was getting good enough, to not be a factor. That has some merit given the totally independent index (not relying on Bing under the hood).

Brave the same as Cliqz are trying their best to offer an alternative. If you think you can do better, please do so. Believe, I'll root for you regardless of my opinion about you (we crossed path in the past). Why would I support you, even though that does not mean I use what you build? Because we are in need of having plurality on the Web, the more the better. Unlike you, I do not see the point of speaking bullshit, not sure if out of ignorance or ill-will, don't know, don't care.
Sorry, but I have to be honest: in my opinion most of the replies you got to this comment are extremely misleading.

As a user of Go and Ruby I can tell you that: Ruby is an awesome language, and there's nothing else that beats it at getting things done quickly and painlessly (unless you have a mathematical mindset, in which case nothing gets shorter and more elegant (at least the day you write it) than functional programming). It has many other defects, like safety in larger codebases, speed, some weird quirks, etc., but it's an awesome language, don't expect many other languages to be less painful than Ruby (on small programs at least).

Don't listen to those that say professional programmers won't use Go. The only reason a professional programmer will say hard no to Go is for extremely optimized or mission critical code that can't tolerate garbage collection (even though the GC in Go is very low latency) or need a more sophisticated type system, or numerical applications for which Go isn't really well suited.

If you compare Ruby and Python to Go, the transition might be hard if you haven't studied computer science formally. That said, it's a matter of making the switch, understanding that all those objects (boxes to put data in) that you had in Ruby, now are statically typed; this means that a box is of exactly one type and can't change midway (and even subtle changes need explicit casting/conversion). You also need to learn the difference between composition and inheritance, which might be tricky depending on how you learned to program... but beyond that, Go is a very small and easy-to-write-code-in language. You might like the syntax more or less, but it's easy to write good code in Go. It has many other gotchas and hoops you will need to jump through (var initialization, error handling, new vs make, weird append/len, learn to printf, learn pointers, etc), but it's a good step after Ruby / Python, if you need things bigger than what Ruby / Python allow you to comfortably manage.

A hello world might require defining a package, importing another package, and a more verbose print statement than python / ruby, but those are all great (and minimal) appliances when developing at a larger scale.
But that would be server-side, if I'm reading it right? I'm trying to remember the last time I needed password auth and wanted to do it in an automated fashion (like I said, it is rare), I think it was a router where the filesystem was read-only (only /var and /tmp writable, or something like that, so can't set authorized keys).
Interesting how the AI turns "wouldn't get" into "never gonna give" at 0:15, maybe because of overfitting ?

I know that standard BYU has the lowest tuition in Utah, lower than any state school, provided you are a tithe-paying member of the Mormon Church [1]. Otherwise they have a higher tuition, similar to the in-state/out-of-state changes for most state schools. Does BYU pathway tuition work the same way?

I don't have a ton of experience with Western Governor's, but the fact that unlike many online universities they are nonprofit is a good sign. Of course, whether they have access to quality instructors is an unknown to me.

Could you describe some of the regulations you found burdensome? I work in regulatory compliance (in an unrelated field) and I’m wholly unfamiliar with the requirements for education.

A few months ago I saw a Lambda School tweet with a giant stack of regulatory filings and I’ve been wondering ever since why I don’t hear much about higher ed compliance. It isn’t one of the areas that immediately comes to mind when I think of “highly regulated industries” (banking, insurance, healthcare, etc) but perhaps it should be.

State schools in US are often the best STEM schools.

Isn't this why the cosigner exists on student loans? Basically the cosigner is the one with collateral, capable of meeting the terms of the loan. While IANAL, my understanding of reading a master promissory note for student loans is that basically the debt falls to the cosigner should the primary be unable to meet the financial obligations in any way (after wage garnishing, etc).
Noob question - is redis streams completely able to replace the Kafka usecase?
I’m curious what the training set was for the model. I’m guessing perhaps a set of Japanese imageboard threads where artists draw manga interpretations of portraits. (These portraits tend to be of photogenic women, generally of east-Asian ethnicity, so it makes sense to see that most of the better examples in the thread seem to fall within that area.)
As someone who majored in English, I assert that the emphasis on STEM and shift away from the humanities is causing serious problems in our society.

Specifically, having a population lacking in critical reading skills makes everyone more susceptible to propaganda, and less able to critique and assess flawed arguments in writing.

If you want to know why, for example, our political “debates” are shallow circuses of misdirection and name calling, look at the state of the humanities.

Michael Moore is ultra-leftist environmentalist.I watched the video entirely because climate experts are so angry.

The video starts off explaining that he is an environmentalist. Certainly makes the video provocative.

The actual video seems to suggest what the right-wing has been saying for 20 years. VERY interesting to see Michael Moore agreeing with the right-wing folks.

Makes you wonder if perhaps that he is right here.
Specifically in those circumstances it's more important than normal; intranet, government, and PDF documents.

Intranet: bespoke documentation to internal processes verses generic documents used for reference.

Government: external references can be hijacked (asking for personal information) or may not represent the government but still have relevant info.

PDF documents: jumping around a PDF document (from a table of contents) is different than going to an external website. Especially if you don't have Internet access at that moment.

I think all of this is significantly more important since browser have been hiding more URLs.
