Really easy and good homegrown logging. Use a structured logging library, this is key because it lets you easily filter on the properties attached to a log event.

Then log those to a database. If you don't have a ton of volume and want to use really reliable tech and be safe(ish) send your logs to a relational DB used only for logging. I have never tried sending to just a separate table within the production database but I know that can be done too.

Create read-only users on that logging DB or table.

Download a GUI client for that DB and you're up and running. You can use SQL to filter, order by timestamp, and create views.

If you still want to stay homegrown it's straightforward to put an API in front of it that powers some dashboards or easy investigation tools. For example, submit correlation/request ID and get back every log event in-order for that, color error logs red and boom - 1st level data visualization for investigations done too.
If, hypothetically, I enlist you to commit a crime like robbing a bank, and we abscond with say, $1,000,000 - that is a crime.

If during the getaway we not only lose every dollar but total our Lamborghini, sure, we may have a net loss, but it doesn't make it not a crime.

Buy shitty products, get shitty outcomes. This is not the fault of the connector standard.
That was a different test, that wasn’t trying to do something infeasible classically. The supremacy test was effectively solving a contrived combinatorics problem.
Indeed. In Los Angeles, there's Homeboy Industries, started by Jesuit priest Greg Boyle. https://homeboyindustries.org If I were to win the lottery I would spend a month with Greg to understand how things work and can be replicated then build something similar on the west side of Chicago.

This is obviously sometimes the case. But more often I’ve seen IO bound apps spending all their time on network roundtrip latency. I.E. not a few poorly performing SQL queries, but a thousand queries which all take a millisecond or two.
You're right re: the database helping people see the political ads. I'm jaded by the barrage of the reaction to political ads, particularly the long-time discredited "Russia, Russia, Russia" hoax, which seems far more pernicious than the political ads themselves.

The danger is that this tool becomes a weapon of partisan warfare.

What is going to be done with the database? Will we be getting disclaimers, moderation, & "truth ministry" propaganda messages built into the browser itself? People can make their own decisions without a voice of "authority" labeling & moderating all content. Otherwise, if the political minority is labeled as liars by the majority, the minority effectively becomes further suppressed. Same with individuals not going with the prevailing social norms.

---edit---

I also see potential in the database. Particularly if news or ads in general could be captured. If this tool could act like a digital archive, recording edits to articles & such, people can track how a certain message evolves over time. The more I think about this, the more potential I can see in this tool working for good & bad purposes, re: our basic freedoms of speech, thought, assembly, etc. It will be interesting to see how this tech develops & is utilized.
I was livid with Nintendo when the Switch launched. It took decades of hard work to get the interconnect industry to play nice with common standards. It’s a fragile, prosperous peace. It doesn’t take much to destroy it. Nintendo’s careless actions threaten a lot more than a few toys.
That's a good point, I'd like to see some research into that question.

This article illustrates very well how a confrontational style can have the opposite effect.

I don't know what this guy gets out of this, with zero appreciation for all the work Tor and its volunteers have done, no acknowledgement whatsoever for the complexity of the overall project, and that other people might have other priorities of which areas need the fastest fixes. His issue is OF COURSE the only important one, everything else would be ridiculous, it's totally crazy how things have not been fixed since he started badmouthing a couple of months ago.

I don't know what he hopes to get out of this, throwing around misleading terms like "0day" and accusations. Does he think this will lead to a stronger Tor network? Is he so annoyed a the situation that he wants to take the whole project down with him? Does he want to piss off people, who will then rightfully decide to work on other aspects instead rather than having to deal with people like him?

Yes, he might have run into some problems, with a free project, and a free network, all provided to him for his benefit. None of the problems he found are amazing discoveries. Time and time again people have explained to him calmly how these issues are known and being worked on. Yes, he might have found some stopgap solutions, and potentially he could have actually helped the project to solve the issues, but instead he decided to display absolute ignorance towards other people, and other people's resources. To him, it seems to be fine as long as it "doesn't cost him anything" (quote from the post), and it is other people that will have to pay.

To put things a bit into perspective, onion service traffic accounts for ~1-5% of the overall traffic. Tor is made for a lot of things, and a lot of use cases, not only yours, man. The sad reality is that priorities are different, circumstances are different, and your desire to have a quick fix is not the same as wanting to fix things the proper way -- for your own benefit in the long term.

HN should see this as a reminder on how to not behave if you actually want to get something fixed that you're upset about.

I've heard about memristors for ... a decade? ... so I'm skeptical.

What makes "this time different"?

They were going to revolutionize the speed of data access, right? https://past.date-conference.com/proceedings-archive/2017/pd... Making them behave like neurons is a cool hack, but sort of tangential to why anyone cares about memristors.

I keep an open mind though, so if this time really is different, then that's valid. It just seems like more hype.
Hot loading in Erlang is not magical. Here is an example. Let's say you want to redeploy some new code. In your deploy, you change some existing function foo in module A to call a new function bar in module B.

If you do this, you'd better make sure that you hotload the new version of B before you hotload the new version of A. Otherwise some process could end up trying to call B:bar through A:foo before the new B has finished loading.

If you rely on hotloading modules as your primary deploy mechanism, you will run into issues like this all the time. So it's not really clear to me that hotloading is a win for your typical stateless web service compared to just deploying a new binary and doing your standard zero-downtime deploy via forking.

It makes more sense when you realize that certain Erlang apps build up a huge amount of state in-memory. In those cases hotloading allows you to load new versions of the changed modules without having to take down the whole VM.
I was also very interested in memristors when I first discovered them over 10 years ago. I actually wanted to go to graduate school to work on them, but was surprisingly unlucky in finding willing advisors with funding. In fact I even personally knew one of the researchers at HP and asked about working there, and he basically told me "you should do something else with your life."

> I believe this is only the start of this type of hardware.

I agree, but I also suspect a pragmatic solution is still decades away, much like nuclear fusion. Of course I no longer follow this area closely and could be completely wrong.
I think it's just that Mozilla management has been determined not to give an inch on the ancient, repeated complaints the majority of their users have had about it. That they continue to plow ahead while users vote with their feet causes a lot of hopeless bitterness. The fact that the executives are paying themselves so much while marketshare is steadily dropping just adds insult to injury.

Every negative poster was a rabid Firefox partisan 10 years ago. Now they barely hold on because they don't want a blob on their system and they want uBlock to work. Sadly, I have no confidence that Firefox won't declare next year that shipping a blob is necessary to the health of the web, and that some API uBlock relies on could be confusing to users and will be removed.

tl;dr it's a coordinated campaign alright, but it's coordinated by Mozilla's behavior, not by communication between the 90% of users that have left (30% to 3%) or the large percentage of those remaining users who are only staying because of their disgust for Google, closed source and ads.
When running on a campaign of "I will put my political opponent in jail" becomes a bit more normalized.

We've had a bit of a trial run for that in 2016, but it quickly fizzled out.
Wasn't worth the effort for this one off case.

It's actually ironic, as I had learning TCL on my todo list due to interest in CNC machining (some older stuff used TCL).

But not any more. Even going to the TCL language home page, they push people towards ActiveState. That's killed my interest in TCL entirely, and likely permanently.
The only way to detect deep fakes in the medium term is to keep your metrics secret.

Any public paper describing a technique for detecting deep fakes is only useful because it shows you which metrics you should not invest in.
January 20th, at noon. John Roberts Jr. gives Joe Biden the oath. Applause. 21 cannon shots. Hail to the Chief plays. Hail to the Chief ends. Cannon fire ends. Applause ends. Biden steps to the podium to give his inaugural address.

"My fellow Americans, it is with the deepest humility that I have accepted your verdict. As President of the United States, I commit to enforce justice, to be fair, and to show empathy for all of you. But first, I have one small detail to take care of."

Cameras are recording everything. The nation is transfixed. Joe Biden slowly turns sideway. He raises his left hand and points at Donald Trump.

"Secret Service, arrest this man."

Four agents clad in black suits, wearing sunglasses and earpieces, grab the former president. Trump, 74, tries to resist weakly, but is quickly carried away. The crowd of political dignitaries behind Biden turns their heads in cadence, following the sight of the former president being taken away from view. Biden turns back to face the National Mall. Applause and deafening cheers. The end.

Without jumping into the rest of the fray in this discussion, it does seem plausible for someone to profit while still losing part of their net worth, if the loss that they would have otherwise incurred is less than they otherwise would have due to an unfair advantage due to their position.

If a person were to use insider information to sell off their stock just after the value of it began to plummet, they would still be guilty of insider trading regardless of the end result of the stock crash on their net worth.
In my experience, the pipeline itself is a negligible amount of time. Directly hotfixing something is a high risk thing that no company I've ever worked for would tolerate.
I've always had the thought that religious texts should be updated with modern prose and sensibilities. Not for the believers of the religion, but for the non-believers. People are not incentivized to slog through some text that was written centuries ago, using phrasings that they've hardly ever encountered. But if a modern twist was put on it, perhaps it would be better accepted as a good yarn by the general population, and widen the readership.
This is way worse than 9/11 for the airlines. Probably an order of magnitude worse.
The timeline here doesn’t jive. The Pixel C came out in 2015 with a USB-C port using the same SoC as the Switch (2017). Nintendo’s non-compliance is intentional.

I believe that the obligation to submit works for pre-publication review is the result of a contract which he signed in order to get his security clearance. My understanding is that if anyone without a security clearance had written the exact same book, there would have been no judgment.

Q: How it can get so much better?

Ans: From the most recent full presentation (pretty dated at this point Dec 2018): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSIzsMlwMUY

From 10:22mins in the video:
* Increase speed: automated segment erection and logistics; simultaneous mining and installation of reinforcement segments; 3X increase in power for TBM; continuous dirt removal; modified cutter design. Probably leads to 10X faster.

* 13:12mins: Decrease costs: onsite integration, reduced diameter of tunnels, electric locomotive, sell bricks.
15% of costs is dirt removal. Selling bricks for $0.10ea pays for dirt removal. 15% savings right there. (Price comparison: bricks cost $0.25 retail at Home Depot)

So the test tunnel cost $10mil/mi but can only put through 1/4 the area. So to balance against existing tunnels at $1bil/mi lets round up to say equivalent throughput for mass is $50mi/mile - assumes people throughput happens at the same speed of current mass transit - 45mph. Hyperloop tunnels will go much faster than that. But even non-hyperloop electric cars can go 90mph with self-driving - so double speed = double mass transfer and half mass_transfer cost per mile per time unit.

So kinda apples to kinda apples comparison of the very first tunnel Boring Co made is $50mil/mi versus $1bil/mil in LA for same mass throughput at same speed. They are already 1/20th the cost. Even if I am way off, by a factor of 10, the Boring Co is already HALF the cost of existing tunnels with their very first attempt in Dec 2018. The next update will put them even further along.
I wish these series on compilers would focus more on the harder parts, like JIT compilation or the virtual machine and concurrent garbage collecting.

Thank you. It means more than you know. Everyone here, thank you.
it seems reasonable that the federal government can invoke extraordinary powers for a limited amount of time to address federal-sized and -scoped problems. in this case, that seems to be the Public Health Service Act (PHSA) which, among other things, allows for quarantines in times of health crisis.

the states have police power via the 10th amendment, which reserves all powers not delegated to the fed to the states (didn't know about dillon's rule until now, although that was my general understanding of where power lies, in states not municipalities). and it sounds like a narrowly-interpreted privileges or immunities clause of the 14th amendment further allows states to use police power as long as it doesn't infringe due process or equal protection.

one question is how much the feds can compel state actions in this regard (seems like not much, but feds can use their own forces if need be), and another is how much states can act independent of the feds (seems like feds can delegate the response to states)?

can states simply compel lockdowns by police power, other than hoping no one notices and sues? apparently Jacobson v. Massachusetts (1905) allows for compulsory vaccinations by states for general health and welfare.

regardless of the legal basis, to me, it's pretty clear that our governments (especially CA) poorly and blindly targeting its efforts for maximal political (and media) gain rather than for health and safety.

if it had been for the latter, the first highly visible thing we'd have done was immediately quarantined senior care facilities, super-PPE'ed all their workers, paying whatever it took to create a tight bubble around each facility, to protect seniors. that would have targeted 60+% of potential mortalities (and yes, we knew that was a core threat back in february). then we could address other specific threats and beefed up medical facilities as needed. and lastly, we'd have singularly messaged the heightened dangers of social gatherings and the effectiveness of distancing, along with an educational campaign on the mechanism of spread, co-morbidities, the age stratification of risk, and such, not masks and its complicity-signalling value.

then residents could make informed choices on how to protect themselves. some would choose to isolate, but many would just distance where necessary and avoid large gathering of strangers. we then wouldn't need to worry so much about legal precedent, and we wouldn't be dividing into stupid political camps lobbing vicious tweets (and sometimes more) at each other.

Please stop using bonnie (I know, it's a 2008 post, but in case it inspires anyone). It was useful at the time, but written in a different era, and nowadays produces misleading results on multi-threaded I/O stacks (along with other problems). I spoke to Tim about this issue back at Sun, and he did write about it.

> But Murray told NPR in October 2019 that he had a lung disease that was not caused by working underground in mines.

> “It's idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. IPF, and it is not related to my work in the industry. They've checked for that,” Murray told NPR. “And it's not — has anything to do with working in the coal mines, which I did for 17 years underground every day. And until I was 76, I went underground twice a week.”

How could they have "checked for that," given that IPF seems to be a diagnosis of exclusion (someone more knowledgeable than I can correct me if I'm wrong).

The article misses my biggest gripe with USB-C - cables can come in both 2.0 and 3.0 in addition to Thunderbolt, with absolutely no way to distinguish the link speed by looking at the cable itself. I have 10 or so USB-C cables littered about the house in different lengths, I had to mark the only two that support 3.0 speeds.

It also doesn't mention the issues we see in USB-A to USB-C cables, where cheaper cables often 'forget' the pullup resistor required to prevent device damage[0].
