On Friday last week, SWI was trading around 23.5. Today it closed around 14.2, so it looks like the big money investors are betting on SolarWinds-the-business being toast. Even if it does survive, if it doesn't somehow stage a miracle recovery very quickly, the current senior leadership are surely done as soon as they've finished being ritually sacrificed so their replacements don't get saddled with too much of the fallout.

As another potentially interesting data point, SWI still appears to have a P/E close to 120 even now. Given that traditional value investors might consider something closer to 20 to be reasonable for an established business and the huge ratios of many big tech stocks only make sense if you think they're going to continue the dramatic growth some of them have enjoyed for a while, there could still be a long way for stocks in SWI to fall even if they do eventually stabilise.

On the Apple M1, Beating Apple’s Core ML 4 with 30% Model Performance
I'd like to say that what makes reddit and twitter big and important is not technical sophistication. It is the fact that a lot of interesting people are there — so another person would join to read and interact with them.

So I'd try to build the simplest thing that conveys the idea and provides the experience (twitter was initially a Rails app), and spend most of the effort on getting and keeping interesting people aboard. These trendsetters are the users you want to listen to, and pander to. You went them around. You want their audience around.

I can remember a somehow similar site, only more minimalist, founded like 15 years ago. It was friendfeed.com: link sharing, posting commenting, real-time IM-like updates (it even had a Jabber gateway for some time). It was great, though it never grew huge. Facebook bought them and acquired their most important invention, the "Like" button.

I don't say that technical sophistication is not important! It is. But it becomes important when your social / communication mechanics work, and you have a number of real users. Until then, you want your technology small and easily malleable. Back in the day I've seen a brilliant online community forming around a few hundred lines of Perl scripts. Guys from friendfeed first came with a schemaless DB, and only later with the high-performance Tornado server (in Python still). Guys from YouTube first found the area where their site was useful (not their initial dating, but video publishing and discovery), and later came up with advanced video delivery solutions. Same likely applies to your site.

Good luck!
Once built, the only frontend dependency is React. Most of those packages are tooling related to the build process.
OK, this is a strong indication that it is just a scam;) Thanks for pointing this out.

Data leakage is more painful. By yes you are correct. A correctly implemented FDE system should allow for crypto-shredding to negate the need for physical device destruction.
"Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp." - Greenspun's Tenth Rule

In the same way, any sufficiently complicated C++ program contains an ad hoc, informally specified, bug ridden implementation of half of the Gang of Four design patterns. They would be better off just using the patterns, instead of trying to roll their own half-baked solutions to the same problems.

If you've got one of those problems, use the standard, tested solution. If you don't have one of those problems, don't shoehorn in a solution that doesn't fit.

It's not that hard to grasp (except for junior devs who have recently read a pattern book...)

Some clinical work has been done with mRNA vaccines as treatments for other diseases, including cancer. Nothing has made it to Phase 3 yet (other than for Covid-19), but on this page you'll find links to a slew of clinical trials over the years.

https://www.modernatx.com/pipeline/modernas-mrna-clinical-tr...

A handful of studies are currently recruiting for Phase 2, so that means there was a successful Phase 1 some years ago. So those people would, I believe, be the longest-surviving patients to have received an mRNA vaccine.

I feel like this gives too much weighting to the discourse around a topic or article (Ironic, given I'm doing the same thing in this thread). One of the reasons I loathe twitter and reddit is the conversations and comments in threads are just plain awful a lot of times. This seems to create the potential to amplify that while reading an article or watching a video in real-time, creating a competing interest of consuming media vs opinions.

This is critical feedback, but I don't think this solves the problem around propagation of misinformation, bad actors, or opinion vacuums. The reason I dislike the modern web is that conversation and engagement are the key drivers for a site, the content second. This has, in my opinion, created the worst-case scenario in which the value of an opinion of statement is so commodified that the only way to create value from discourse is to have a lot of it, and most of it ends up being toxic and terrible because people seem to only create negative discourse en masse, or at least the current system has been gamified to do just that.
Reading the API, I wonder how they plan to cancel long running (blocking) tasks, like WalkDir.
With free flying satellite SAR, the resolution is dependent on how fast the satellite can fly before it gets the return signal, and this is predetermined by orbital velocity.
I don't even want to contemplate the vaccine. Yesterday I went to my doctor just for a COVID test, as I will be traveling over the holidays. He asked me to wait to get the test until the last possible minute as my insurance will only pay for ONE test. Any additional tests will be $750 out of pocket. I would hope that we could work out cheap, rapid testing first, before deciding the price of a vaccine.
In the UK HMRC approved schemes ban the use of different classes for employees and multi class listings are not looked on kindly.
Sounds like the next one needs to be built on top of censorship resistant platforms like IPFS and/or Dat.
I agree too. I assume that state machines (SMs) are underrated because they are used in a "wrong" way which makes building them impossible: I mean most authors focus on listing and naming all the states, but in fact, they should not do that (IMO) but rather focus on events, conditions, and actions, which cause state transitions. Secondly, they should use hierarchical grouping the reduce number of edges in the state graph.

There are concepts like workflow engines and FLUX architecture which help in designing simpler SMs. For example, by limiting state transitions to events similar to how modern microservices communicate there will be less events. And actually many workflows themselves are implemented in (smaller) state machines.
Considering they've been calling themselves the "official" paper wallet creator since the domain was registered, it's a scam and always has been.

Its the strange intersection of conspicuous consumption and virtue signaling. Only we are good enough people and wealthy enough to pay a bizarre tax.
Two points, the most effective treatments we have for deadly diseases are vaccines which are effective precisely because they rely on our naturally evolved defences. Antibiotics are a runner up but are eventually rendered ineffective by evolution of bacteria they target. Second, Covid-19 is only new to humans, given time it will adapt to us and will likely attenuate.
> "help people more"

Thanks, I agree :)

> If anyone you're helping comes to rely on your continuous support

From my experience, everyone I've helped is trying to get out of the situation so they are not depending on me for 2.5k / month. Compared to a real job, my help is unsustainable in the long run and depends on my job / health / lifestyle. They know that, I think its common sense. Also, 2.5k is not alot of money to rely on for their families.

> and you're suddenly unable to work for a year due to health issues, you'll have a problem anyway.

I have a great network of friends / family. Alot of friends I grew up with, I helped them get jobs in early 2000 and they are all millionaires. My family is not poor either so I think I have a cloud to fall back on (thankfully).

> I'm thinking less of "achieving more giving" and more of "what's the plan when you're current support system fails long term".

Despite a strong support group (family and friends), I'm always prepared for the worst case scenario. I've worked with a homeless person before, someone whom I really respected. I don't mind living homelessly. As long as I am a good person at heart and have good intentions, it doesn't matter what financial situation I live in.
No, at my job we don't consider anyone without a bachelor's degree - that's a hard requirement.

I don't personally make the requirements. There seems to be plenty enough talent applying with bachelor's degrees where that doesn't seem to stop us from hiring really great engineers.

Our work is more complicated than simple CRUD apps though.
None. Both launches were of mass simulators.
I would love to see a postmortem for how they were handling their code signing cert. Right now I get a "PFX file on a network share and everybody knows the password" kind of feeling.
> Wait, so latency over NUMA is too much, but you're willing to incur a 100Gb network link?

The point is not just the latency, but latency and bandwidth.

If the application is relying heavily on the NUMA interconnect to transfer tons of data, it's not going to be making efficient use of the processor cores or the RAM bandwidth. It's a total all around bust. You're just wasting money at that point. ^1

If you aren't relying heavily on the NUMA interconnect, and each node is operating independently with only small bits of information exchanged across the interconnect, then you'd save a metric ton of money by switching to separate machines and using just high speed fiber network links -- such as 100Gb.

I'm not saying that network would be better than the NUMA interconnect. I'm saying that you're not going to be having a happy day if you're relying on the interconnect for large amounts of data transfer.

The only situation where the NUMA set up is better is if you have a need for frequent, low latency communication between NUMA nodes... where very little data is being transferred between nodes, so the entire problem is just latency.

At that point, you're still suffering a lot by the NUMA interconnect, and it would be better to use larger processors... such as Epyc Rome processors.

So you really have to be in a very obscure situation which can't fit onto a dual socket Rome server, but can fit within a machine less than 2x larger. (28 cores * 8 sockets is less than 2x larger than 64 cores * 2 sockets)

You see how complicated this is and how absurdly niche those Platinum 8-socket machines are? They're almost never the right choice.

^1: The exception is if you have an even more niche use case that somehow is built for exactly this scenario in mind, and manages to balance everything perfectly. Such a software is almost certainly ridiculously overcomplicated at this point.
We don't get anything by default. Not even slack clone or email. And if we don't use something for 90 days we lose it. It's not uncommon in my role to have to request something every day. Then have to wait for manager approval, sometimes one up approval, Then resource owner approval, Then wait for provisioning etc. Even read only github access requires senior manager approval (A relatively high role, like 3-4 away from the CEO at a Fortune 50 company)

We can't plug in USB drives either and our database queries are logged and suspicious queries (the heuristics for "suspicious" is not great admittedly) automatically get sent to your manager. Even the files on the hard drive are scanned. I've had so many false positives for the prior two things.

Also we're totally moving away from laptops. Everything will be a thin client. The performance on the things is miserable due to oversubscription and technical limitations.

If the interconnect is your bottleneck, you spend money on the interconnect to make it faster. Basic engineering: you attack the bottleneck.

You don't start talking about slower systems and how they're cheaper. Because that just slows down the rest of your system.

------

If you just wanted cores, you buy a 28core Xeon Gold. The point of 28-core Xeon Platinum is for the 8-way interconnect and scaling up to 8-way NUMA systems. The only person who would ever buy a Xeon Platinum is someone who wants 40GBps UPI connections at relatively low latencies. (or maybe even the 300GBps connections that IBM offers, but that's a similar high-cost vertical-scaling system)

> So you really have to be in a very obscure situation which can't fit onto a dual socket Rome server, but can fit within a machine less than 2x larger. (28 cores * 8 sockets is less than 2x larger than 64 cores * 2 sockets)

That's not even that hard to figure out! A 48TB Memcached / Redis, which is far more useful than a 8TB Memcached / Redis box.

A bit basic, but yeah. That's the point: spend more money on hardware and then don't spend much engineering time thinking about optimization. If 48TBs of RAM solves a problem that 8TB cannot, then just get the 48TB system.

Opera Mini was relatively popular in the beginning of the web when people were primarily browsing on 2G devices with the transition to 3G just starting. Websites were smaller back then but it was great at stripping out a lot and compressing everything so that you could browse the web on such a slow connection.

When they talk about being cheaper, they're talking about the salary of an infrastructure team, not the cost of the infrastructure itself.
If a rich person gives $100 and a poor person gives $10, it's still just $10. It might be more of their income in proportion, but it's still only $10. It doesn't magically become $100 just because it was more of the poor person's income.

the emphasis in the wiki article is on DNA, the same basic principles apply with RNA.

for example you can start with RNA and use reverse trancriptase to produce a DNA sequence, amplify that sequence to a large copy number by repeatedly replicating it then transcribe the DNA to produce large quantities of RNA.

or you can start with the DNA [in large quantities of purity] then create many copies of the RNA by repeatedly transcribing the DNA.

So... in the past, did you not have cookie banners because you didn't have tracking cookies until recently, and all this is a big publicity stunt? Or were you breaking the law up until a month or two ago by having tracking cookies but not asking for my consent?
