Layman's Guide to Functional Programming
[Offtopic (a bit)] Lots of you are talking about metric monitoring. But do you have recommendations when it comes to (basic) security Monitoring? I would usually go for the Elastic-Stack for that purpose, especially because Kibana offers lots of features for security monitoring. But I feel like these stacks are so big and bloated. I basically need something to monitor network traffic (Flows and off-Database retention of PCAPs) and save some security logs (I'm not intending on alerting based on logs, just for retention). But being able to have a network overview, insight into current connections (including history) is a very useful thing.
Can anybody recommend something, that's maybe a bit lighter than an entire Elastic-Stack?
AMD APUs/GPUs have HW accelerated encoding/decoding as well, at least in Jellyfin. I'm not sure what you're getting at here.

Does that mean when AI finally arrives, it slaughters all of us?
Weight. You need to approximate the weight of a full can using less liquid.
I imagine a single negation would increase the solution space so much that it wouldn't be useful anymore. A double negation will change the question format, so our (irrational) minds treat it differently, yet keep the solution space the same.
Not sure from where, over here the shelves are full with laptops.
"How many times have you and someone else had a strong disagreement about the cause of a bug or design of a system, conclusively determined that one answer is correct, and then had the other person come back (usually after a small delay) acting as though they'd agreed with you all along?"

I think, never? I'm sure there are people that do that, because there are people that do everything.
I'll try that, thanks! I did do something similar once when I could not stop fussing about what job to take (current one or a new one). I wrote and printed 2 a4-papers full of text and it was pretty clear I liked my current job more but was afraid I was just taking the easy route (and that I would feel weak because of it later). I was able to let it go and feel better after that indeed.
False in my experience. Full-time job? After the initial learning curve, a simple 2x redundant Prometheus poller setup on can last for a long time. Ours lasted for 30,000,000 timeseries until encountering performance issues.

After that, we needed some more effort to scale out horizontally with Thanos, but again, once it's set up, it maintains itself.
I've very much wanted to tile them across a wall of my house to make a virtual/dynamic "smart wall" for quite a while. Even a B/W version would be sufficient. Last time I checked in was late 2018 and at that time there wasn't a good sub-six-figure solution. It'd also require a lot of manual work on each cell since the cells didn't have a zero width bezel for gapless tiling.
Right. As they say, In theory there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice, there is.
Oooh, this is very nice. Thanks for sharing!
I feel like a lot of these types of adages come back to try to convince humans to do one thing: Be Wrong.

And I don't mean, deliberately make incorrect decisions, I mean, allow yourself to have made a mistake.

Some people get the reputation that they act like they know everything. You can even see some of those accusations creep up in various threads on this topic.

There are two major types of people who get that reputation. People who will never admit they're wrong and people who will admit they're wrong so fast, you don't even notice they've changed their stance.

The first type of people think the second type is just doing what they're doing. But no, the second type is more than willing to be wrong. They know that it's going to happen. It goes back to Socrates, knowing you know nothing. Accepting that your knowledge is incomplete. There are no stakes for being wrong if you don't put them up. The second type are also the type to not worry about laying blame about who is wrong. They just want to correct the mistake.

Be more concerned about what is wrong rather than who is wrong.
You're probably right. I could pick up an old PC on ebay and just toss a cheapo card in and that would probably cover my use case just fine. Thanks!
We didn't find any, so we had to build it. Thank you for the feedback
How many dead profiles are on there? I've just deleted mine, and in my circle of "friends" there were about 20 out of 350 that had updated their profile within the last year. Is there some kind of pareto distribution where Facebook has found its 'whales' that it can attract, and silently dropped all the other users, but kept their dead profiles?
Looking for a similar post with APM using opentracing !
Makes sense. A graph can be represented by a matrix which is what an image is.
The CPU lifespan should not be depleted by using the built-in GPU or running 100% for extended periods.
Absolutely. I also have a pomelo tree, though it's still in a pot in the shadehouse, and produces a single (enormous) fruit each year.

Grapefruit are a cross, probably, of pomelo and a sweet orange - as you say, not all that long ago. While some grapefruit varieties are quite pithy, pomelos (that I've seen) are very pithy - hence the 'this can only have been even more expensive a protective layer in earlier versions of this plant'.

The question still stands - why is this adaptation useful, given it's probably expensive. (That assumption of mine may be entirely wrong.)

Early species would have been shorter, and all species in the history of this would have fruited long before the individual trees reached 10 metres (I'm guessing even in ideal conditions that implies 10+ years growth). Most would-be consumers of the fruit would be able to reach fruit within the first metre or so (if unable to climb or fly) and anywhere in the tree otherwise.
Whereas Ars Technica's position on climate change is well known. Silence all the skeptics!
Maybe I misunderstood, but isn't this what `React.forwardRef` is for?
I'm curious about the confederate general thing, do you have a link? It's true there is gray area everywhere, I guess I have a hard time believing that Facebook would bother stepping into a genuine aspect of history, in an area that isn't really much disputed.
They specifically refer to APUs which IIRC means they are referencing only models that include GPU capability.

Perhaps OEMs tend to favour CPU-only Ryzen models paired with other GPUs, except at the low/budget end of the market which I assume the 4000 series is not aimed at, in which case the 80% value is perfectly plausible.
Have you looked into Grafana Loki for logs? If I had to redo one part of our stack, that's what I'd choose.

Very cool. I'm not a super big horror fan, but when this whole pandemic thing started, I consciously went on a ~2 month horror binge for fun, watching a bunch or horror films (of varying quality) and games. Now I wonder if there was something subconscious about that.

Might've damaged my psych though....

Some applications in computational physics involve solving a "variational" problem, where you have some parameterized function and try to numerically find the parameters that minimize energy or error. This does not necessarily involve supervised learning from outside data as in this article -- it can be purely an optimization problem.

But neural networks are very good parametric function approximators, generally better than what traditionally gets used in physics (b-splines or whatever). So people have started to design neural networks that are well-suited as function approximators for specific physical systems.

It's fairly straightforward -- it's not an "AI" that has "knowledge" of "physics" -- just using modern techniques and hardware to solve a numerical minimization problem. I think this will probably become pretty widespread. It won't be flashy or exciting though -- it will be boring to anyone but specialists, as the rest of machine learning ought to be.
We were talking about what Chinese emigrants can get inside China, so they probably mean that Chinese nationals (usually) wouldn't be subject to racism themselves.
I apologize for not being able to find a cite, but my recollection is it's automated, targeting a set of GPS coordinates.
That's why it's called an intro course: it covers a lot but none of it too deep. From what I understand the course is taken not by those who've been doing programming since childhood but also by those in almost completely unrelated fields. There's plenty of courses that can be taken later that go very deep.
I don’t understand why people interpret that article as recommending you avoid prematurely removing duplication and comparing it to the rule of 3. The point of her essay is that you should resist the sunk cost fallacy and refactor your duplication-removing abstractions when requirements (or your understanding of them) change.

InfluxDB is pretty good if you don't need to do any advanced querying like grouping by month or formulas. Its strong points are low diskspace footprint and very fast queries even over long periods of time.
Accreditation is easily achieved just by having raised money for your company. A founder who owns 20% and raised at a $5M cap/valuation meets the $1M asset threshold.
I imagine Plex uses FFMpeg, Gsteamer, or some other video library underneath. If I remember correctly they started as a fork from XBMC (now Kodi).
You mean storage efficiency? Seems that unless the aggregation is happening before being stored, it would be unfair to compare influxdb with other databases that are tasked with storing per-record granularity.
If you started with "what is preventing adoption?" you would explore the answers to that question first, and then would still gain additional insight from asking "how do I increase adoption?".
... so don't buy the appliances.

Based on the two comments you left here, it seems as if your main motivation is to be glib and contrarian. It's almost like yes-anding, except doing the opposite and just for the sake of it.
Pedantry for those who have implicitly asked for it:

Munger spots binary hierarchical oppositions, such as between forwards and backwards, seeking and avoiding, or intelligence and stupidity, and displaces the privileged term, what we take implicitly to be primary, by inviting us to consider the secondary term in its own right, as another endpoint of the same relationship.

(Is this process somewhat like Category Theory's displacement of objects by consideration of the arrows between them? Attacking problems by inverting to generate coproblems?)
I second the Thanos link, but if you want to only use Prometheus, I would look into federation:

https://www.robustperception.io/scaling-and-federating-prome...

https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/federation/

You can set up a new "cold storage" Prometheus with a longer retention that scrapes select metrics from your regular 30d Prometheus to store for longer periods of time.
Safety and cost is another reason. For example in the Bay Area the materials allowed for 4 story buildings is different than 5+ because it needs to have much higher fireproofing. The result is many 4 story buildings and almost nothing above that because of the cost difference.

Facebook is arbitraging manpower here.

Firstly, this article is about American issues, so it’s only the America issue “lens” that is being used to focus on issues. These same and similar issues must exist for every other country, many of whom have 0 ability to fund and afford individuals who can dedicate their time and lives to fact checking their Local power structures or narratives.

Secondly, even the constrained solution/issue space is too deep for Facebook to effectively police - leaving aside the philosophical arguments.

Removing statements which say “all minority people need to die” is easy,

Removing opinion pieces ? Suppose Kanye says he doesn’t believe in vaccines and that is his opinion. Remove ? Keep?

Is it noteworthy because a huge personality said it ? What about people who are B list celebrities. Or C list ?

What about an article which says “we find that the science on climate change makes claims that are not supported entirely by the data, here is why and here is research.” -

Now you need specialistS or have access to a network of diagnosticians who can tell you whether complex pieces of content are Trojans or not.

Facebook and social media enterprises are paying the price of the hollowing out of editorial boards. All those local newspapers and newsrooms where stuff gets filtered - that is the likely amount of (Skilled) manpower Facebook needs to employ to handle this.

This is where the social media model totally collapses - you can have issues with climate denial, fake medicine, voter suppression etc. - and sub divisions of these problem.

There’s never a shortage of problems and a fractal level of complexity.

How do you ever satisfy the verification needs at this point?

Therefore social networks will always have massive numbers of bad actors, subterranean cults, hidden mind viruses infecting armies of people, propaganda and legions of victims.

This isn’t an idle question - the problems here are about the nature of how humans structure Their networks, verify information and build trust.

Facebook or any social network will always fail at this, unless they see this as what it really is - time to make editorial decisions on content on the network at scale.

The Silicon Valley hey day ideal of free speech is dead. We’re now in a rear guard action to ring fence people from infectious and malicious ideas.

If you think this is a step too far, please remember that America has people actively fighting wearing face masks during the greatest modern Pandemic.

Just a few points, in case it's not clear from the screenshot:

* I see A TON of content instead of only the screenshot, very distracting

* A lot slower to load

"Elon Musk, SpaceX’s founder and CEO, told reporters last year that the fairing costs around $6 million."

Pretty good if they can recover them and refurbish them. Could save a few million dollars per launch, even more if they can be re-used more than once.
> wait for it to be torn apart, where I learn a lot

That's probably fine somewhere like HN, but I'd warn people against doing it too much IRL. I have an ex-friend who liked to play the "you just need to" game as a primary learning technique. I say ex-friend because I got tired of the initial implication that his few minutes' of thought could overturn lessons it might have taken me years to learn, until I did the labor of educating him. Maybe some of that was a "me thing" except that he has several other ex-friends for the same reason. I have other still-friends who are a bit less extreme about it, but it's generally not a relationship-positive behavior.
Yea. I can absolutely guarantee they wouldn’t get nearly as far as they did with a really hard steel like 600-series stainless (Inconel).

I’m certain this is a novel approach with their “jelly filled with nuggets” but it’s still jelly... let me know when they embed nugget in steel.

It will mostly block a lot of the neo-left, people who are "identity" focused and as racist as people on the far right. I don't want to have anything to do with them. I don't give a f about identity, I care about merit.
Now, it is fair to complain that VisualEditor is difficult to get running on your own local Mediawiki instance, as it requires the suite of local node.js microservers (RestBase and Parsoid) that aren't part of the core PHP platform.

That said, this is about to change! The upcoming Mediawiki 1.35 is supposed to move Parsoid into core PHP, and so VisualEditor is going to become a lot more default-accessible. :D
While influx is pretty bad overall it's super simple to deploy and configure unlike timescale.

It's the main reason we decided to use influx in our small team with simple enough timeseries needs
Hiding the costs, minimising the costs or "integrating them well with your platform" do not erase the costs.
Facebook can’t have it both ways. They can’t tell Congress they are like the telephone company (an agnostic communication channel) and then turn around and censor whatever they feel like. Either take responsibility for the content or stay out of it.

The book Emotional First Aid by Dr. Guy Winch was my first introduction to a mental model of emotions that allowed for this type of thinking: injuries, ways to heal, and the difference between an emotional paper cut and an emotional broken arm and how it’s common to treat the latter like the former. Great book for anyone who wants to learn strategies for taking their own emotions and needs seriously.
Well, as a single illustrative data point, retail sales numbers were announced for Canada this morning. Coming out of the pandemic lock-down total sales up 18%, online up 100+% but still only accounts for 8% of total retail. That leaves a lot of greenfield market to go after without ever competing.

I just got a Lenovo V14 Ryzen 5 4500U laotop yesterday and this thing is amazing. It benchmarks almost as high as my Ryzen 5 1600 desktop PC, but it feels so much faster in actual everyday use.

To those who scoff at repurposed laptop parts being used in desktop systems, I don't think that's going to be an issue here because these 4000 series APUs have outstanding performance.

I'm not an Intel fan and have a tendency to root for the underdog so I may have an inherent bias here. The fact that Intel not only has competition, but has in alot of arenas been bested by AMD should only mean good things for the health of the overall market.

A recent thing which has been rubbing me the wrong way in React has been the exhaustive dependencies for useEffect and other hooks.

Sure, in the case someone would alter say the function provided as props it should be included in the dependency array. Yet in most cases, such as the example #3 in the article, this would not happen (or be even desired). Rather, if it did it would be a bug and an appropriate error would better.

So if you wanted to adhere to the strict CRA linter's exhaustive dependencies rule, you should add the fetchData function as a dependency. Or if you moved the whole function inside the useEffect, then the onSuccess. Which makes even less sense now that I've written it down.
Is it possible to come up with an unprovable/undisprovable scenario of a past civilization many years ago? Yes: they lived >55 millions years ago so artifacts are gone due to a full tectonic convection cycle causing all the artifacts to get melted. They also could have developed organic technology, and used it to erase the non-organic waste of their past.

I love the idea, it's amazing to think about. And it might be true.

However, we can't prove it, we can't disprove it, and it has no bearing on our current state. In the absence of evidence I've got to try to apply Occam's Razor, so the simplest of competing theories should be selected as the one to go with until/unless evidence shows otherwise. Which means we should consider humans the first advanced civilization on Earth until other evidence is found.

> Preliminary data is pointing toward covid immunity lasting for only a few months.

As far as I know, that's not true at all.

A King's College study has shown that the level of B cells in former patients blood declinened quickly after a few months. Still there has yet to be a study on T cells level and T cells seem to play a more important role than B cells in covid immunity.
Given the topic of proxies plus "scraping" in the domain name, I was expecting more relevant information. For example:
1) techniques to avoid being blacklisted
2) some indication of cost factors. Not just the difference between residential and data center - but within data centers themselves.

I realize it's just a blog post, but I felt it was still rather shallow and non-informative.
I wonder what PC Engines will do to replace AMD's Jaguar APU/SoC. All of AMD's new SoCs seem to be too hot for passive cooling, at least without huge fins.

I can't find the link, but there were recent discussions (by Red Hat? GCC? clang?) about changing the default minimum supported ISA. There were several proposals, IIRC, with Jaguar right in the middle of the proffered choices, and possibly the best choice for now. But I imagine if that discussion were to happen 2 or 3 years down the road, even Jaguar might not make the cut.

At the low end of TDP, Intel still reigns supreme. But their Atom lineup makes far too many compromises, excluding various ISA extensions to price differentiate. And Soekris got burned with their net6501 and defective Atom chips, so I imagine Intel isn't that great a partner for small companies. (I doubt AMD is, either, given the firmware pain people have, but at least their products work.)
