I've admittedly never actually considered the dis/advantages of running two CPU's on one board.

Is it correct that you can run two different processors with these? How much of a speedup does it give you? Is the operating system designed to take full advantage of both by default?

Why don't gaming builds use these? Too much cost?
Summary below.

Yesterday, a number of personalities, in response to my publication, bulling in comments with insults, conspiracy charges and very valuable instructions on what to do. Regrettably when adults do not see boundaries in communication.

The accusation of spammering brought against me is a blatant lie. I have NOT received ANY official notifications of violation of any rules from the ycombinator.com resource.

I pointed my position and apologized, although it was not worth it.
I didn’t hear an any apology.

All this is very disappointing in my opinion and I would like to draw attention to the problem of misunderstanding between people, no matter what prejudices it is caused.
"Recursion", Blake Crouch: That’s what New York City cop Barry Sutton is learning as he investigates the devastating phenomenon the media has dubbed False Memory Syndrome-a mysterious affliction that drives its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived.

"Daisy Jones & The Six", Taylor Jenkins Reid: Everyone knows Daisy Jones & The Six: The band's album Aurora came to define the rock 'n' roll era of the late seventies, and an entire generation of girls wanted to grow up to be Daisy. But no one knows the reason behind the group's split on the night of their final concert at Chicago Stadium on July 12, 1979 . . . until now.

"The Silent Patient", Alex Michaelides: Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word. Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety.
Is that being spineless or unorganized and powerless?

Never made any OpenSource lib, but I always had that gut feeling you are talking about here:

"Unfortunately, even for me, a library author, it's hard to evaluate all of them properly. It would take just too much time and you never know where the real problems in any framework lay before you get neck-deep in code. And then you're too far to switch to another framework anyway."

Putting that aside, to me RxJS and especially Cycle.js are "1 abstraction level above" React & friends. (Cycle can be used via React.)

What do you think about these?

I have a large list of unique emails to test, but they are not from a domain I control. It seems that I can test these through the API, but is there any simpler way? I tried obvious things like putting a list of comma-separated email addresses in the search form, but it doesn't work.
Seems like the most of the discussion here totally missed that part - that would be no consumer grade chips and likely the prime client would be US military.

Sure. Their tech "problems" are not even serious, so it usually takes me a few minutes to solve them.
I believe many inland countries get their transit through neighbors. For example, I believe Rwanda gets ~99% of their data through Uganda/Kenya and Tanzania, and only a tiny bit goes through Satellite. I can't say for sure nothing goes out through the DRC or Uganda/South Sudan, but I'm pretty sure it's quite, quite small.
Do you assume it's bluff or is there more behind that statement?

I understand that it has been in the news that MS spent a lot of energy on preventing people from moving away from Windows, and I think I remember steep discounts but it has been a while since I read about it, but while the government could be going "haha let's put out another statement and get more discounts" I would say it's more likely that there are people in power in Europe that genuinely want to lessen our dependency on the benevolent big brothers from the USA. But that's just how the news reports it, perhaps I'm not cynical enough. Anyway, if you know of a statement by anyone in a relevant government that claims this was a negotiation tactic, that would be interesting.
Ah yes, good point. And Conway's Game Of Life is a better example because yes, indeed, gliders are fundamental (as are molecules). And Conway didn't make GoL for the gliders specifically, they may have surprised him just as much as us (although I'm sure he was searching for emergent phenomena).

So yes I think there are certain initial conditions and rules that don't produce gliders/molecules, but that is only obvious either through simulation or hindsight. In the beginning, as a pundit, or a fly on the wall, it feels like there's everything to play for. So a weird thought experiment is if we could somehow contain a randomly-seeded, massively slowed down Big Bang and have modern day scientists (without recourse to modern knowledge) observe it. I imagine there'd be all kinds of theories, conversations, schools of thought, etc on which direction the universe would take.

So I think the point is that, in fact, we are observing a Big Bang! Just at a later stage. We're trying to understand what's happened and what will happen. A very prescient example of that is Fermi's Great Filter[1], ie does intelligent life necessarily destroy itself?

So perhaps I can summarise my original comment with the thought experiment of those scientists observing the impossibly contained early universe asking themselves in the same way we ask ourselves about the Great Filter, "are protons, neutrons and electrons, capable of stabilising into complex but harmonious structures?"

It's an incredibly large problem. From NBO, pings to any AWS DC were about 200ms as of 2017. I think Azure and GCP were also worse at the time. They now have a pop in Nairobi so if you're using accelerator it might be a lot better now, but still a huge challenge.

I've been working on this: https://indexpricealerts.com

It provides free email price alerts for an increasingly popular football gambling site in the UK: Football Index.

It's the first time I've built a website from the ground up and it's been great fun. Have really learned a lot.
Or from the email provider, if it's not your own server.

I know that e.g. GMX has had a leak at some point (or sold data), as an email I created there ages ago was used in phishing. Okay, that's lame, but they've also used the fake name I had given to GMX, spelled perfectly. I've never used that name anywhere when signing up, so it must come from the database.
I don't understand how knocking in if itself is bad. It's just a technique to add a layer of protection.

In my case, all internal services in a kubernetes cluster have no path that allow it to be accessed from the outside. Occasionally, developers might want to do so, say to access a database or prometheus server.

The way to properly do this, imo, is to use a hardened service that functions as a networking proxy. Use proper encryption keys for access, and it should be quite hard to bust open.

Where does port knocking come in? That service should need to be exposed at all times. So, use port knocking to configure the infrastructure to temporarily allow access from your IP, to that proxy servers IP, on that particular port.

I'm more inclined to not take it serious, if such a simple mechanism isn't in place to protect infrastructure.
Social media feeds. I created a list on Twitter with time-tested accounts of media outlets, blogs, influences, thought leaders, etc. Everything in one place, simple and convenient.
While we're on the subject of patents and Nvidia, their patent on using quasi Monte Carlo in rendering is allowing them to hold basically the whole path tracing world hostage, e.g. possibly forcing people to use CUDA who might otherwise have used OpenCL.

They didn't even invent the numerical methods themselves (pure mathematics from other countries from long ago), they were just first to file for a particular application.

*should not need to
No country wants to start WWIII.

I don't think the PRC is in a position to finish off the ROC, and I don't think it would be in their interests, either.

But equally I don't think that the US want to intervene directly should the PRC take over Taiwan. This would be madness. The problem is thus to imagine how the US would manage to politically 'sell' their inaction.
But at the same time, would the PRC dare to take the bet that the US wouldn't intervene?

Taiwan is not much different from Crimea on many aspects, but it is different in one key aspect: It's been given much more international prominence, mostly because it is a pawn to annoy the PRC. But the downside is that it makes non-intervention (which is the reasonable course of action, like in Crimea) more difficult to sell.

Then, should the PRC invade (which is unlikely) while I'm sure that the Taiwanese would put up a good fight they would lose anyway. There would be plenty of grand speeches and maybe sanctions, but the reality is that everyone would just be looking for the right time to recognise the situation and move on (that's what happened with the existence of the PRC itself, and I'm sure is what will happen with Crimea).
Any chance of getting individual trades / more detailed data up? What kind of underlying data sources are there for this stuff?
If you use any other base for writing numbers down, it's just as easy to perform pen-and-paper operations. The only problem with larger bases is that the multiplication tables increase quadratically. Whereas a base-10 multiplication table has 100 entries, a base-16 table already has 256 entries.
I'm not too fond of the use of the term "QA", but I totally agree with the bottom line and even more.

Every team need a "Quality" or "Test" representative, they can do actual testing or simply contribute to the common knowledge or direction of the team.

Searching for "Modern Testing" will bring up a lot of discussions around this topic, mainly focused around the modern testing principles [1]

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve... they're unique names. Then comes thirten, fourten.

Ten, eleven and twelve are unique names and probably have their entymology derived from a base-12 numbering system once primarily used in Anglo-speaking countries.

Pessimistically, I agree with you.

But that lends the question; what does it take to end the Microsoft monopoly on our governments?

It can’t just be open document standards. I think it goes further than that; into our schools maybe.

I don’t have answers, but it’s a serious question I have.
The term is "threat". A bluff is a threat you can't follow up on. Munich have shown they can and will follow up.
I don't think "permutations" is the right word. You probably want "cardinality".

Nope, no support needed. SSLH will proxy SSL traffic to whatever other SSL service you have running (nginx, openvpn, etc.), and send the SSH traffic to openssh. It look like it even supports recognizing plain HTTP traffic as well and proxying it accordingly.

This is one of the things most mathematicians usually don't care much about. Unlike programming (or automated theorem proving), mathematics can tolerate slight ambiguities that end up not mattering for the argument at hand, because it's ultimately read by people who understand the context.

Not async in general, but asyncio in particular.

Before 3.7, you had to be able to fetch the loop, handle its reference, pass it around, manage its life cycle, etc.

Starting from 3.7, only low level code (E.G: framework authors) would need to, the API is organized so that by default, you always perform something in the current running loop.

It's a big deal, and remove a ton of complexity. Maintenance is easier, learning curve is flatter.

The best example, is that in 3.6 and lower, you had to do "loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()", then call "loop.run_until_complete()". In 3.7, you use asyncio.run(). It seems trivial, it's really not:

https://github.com/python/asyncio/blob/db2fe1d1e1d0f7352167a....

This has consequences on the whole design, which is now full of things like that (run_in_executor, create_task, run_forever, etc), changing completly the way to write correct code.

Another thing is that in 3.7, the asyncio uses async / await and not yield from. Because of this dog fooding, the whole lib improved.

3.7 has a LOT of patches just for asyncio: https://docs.python.org/3.7/whatsnew/changelog.html#python-3...

Speed (Future has been rewritten in C, and many other tweaks), fixes, _way_ better doc...

Obvious shortcomming were resolved, like asyncio.wait_for() that now waits until the cancellation is complete, or asyncio.all_tasks() returning only pending tasks. A lot of little things that add up.

The whole ergonomics are better, up to the command line experience with "python -X dev" which automatically add warnings and set asyncio in debug mode, and frankly you can't cleanly code async without.

The final nail in the coffin are the context vars (https://docs.python.org/3/library/contextvars.html). It's the only sane way to deal with a global registery that is dependant of the current running task.

It's almost always easier to upgrade to 3.7 than trying to use asyncio before it.

Probably these can have a different impact if your threat model is a bit different (money, status, living area, position held, etc).

Reminds me the story about an investigative reporter known in these parts, who was swatted: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2013/03/the-world-has-no-room-fo...

or received a drug package from an investigated person, basically it was a trap: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2015/10/hacker-who-sent-me-heroi...

The journalist knew about this and informed the police beforehand. Happy end.

To add a little more, I have seen people posting on social media answers to posts like "your favorite car, your place of birth, name of mother, name of pet". Guess who uses those words for similar secret questions?

Some personal identifiable information can be used to fabricate fake IDs, for various purposes.

And if we have a linked graph with all the personal, job, address, interacted people, geo-places, etc, it can get creepy (sounds like Facebook, but much more open).

Not saying we all should get paranoid, but leaked data could be used in different ways.
Contagiousness is different than mortality. It seems quite contagious, but low mortality. But I am not in India right now - I am in the US where hysteria is everywhere and they are talking about continuing lockdowns for months longer, or basically indefinitely.

Globalization has put millions of people in the West into poverty. Globalization is a scheme by corporations to get cheaper labor and have the whole world compete against each other while destroying a healthy societal coherence.
