Real Time. Over the internet. What.

I actually looked it up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_web

It feels like something a SW company wrote up for the sole purpose of making up the idea.

The "Difference from real-time computing" is uncited. Hell the entire thing is uncited except for Real Time search, from Google.

Britain's longest road, the A1. Very scenic in places, and can be wild in winter. The BBC even made a series about it [0].

Apropos of the Wikipedia article and out of general interest, any HN'ers closer to the zone 2 roadsign shown than me? (just off the A281 at Partridge Green).

Well, performance wise they're as bad as the cloud version. Even when you give the instance a lot of CPU / Memory. The problem is not only the Spring application itself, the DB seems to be missing some indexes or the queries are super badly optimized. God only knows what's really happening under the hood, but my self hosted Jira instance isn't any better (I've tried them both, cloud and on-prem).
Ticketmaster is really good at being evil. If professional sports teams with government protected monopolies can’t beat them, SJW types are like cannon fodder.
In terms of transportation, the UK has talked about repurposing the existing domestic natural gas network for hydrogen in the longer term. One first step towards this is hydrogenation of natural gas.

The UK has a particularly well developed natural gas grid by international standards, but if this works well it could be a template for others to follow.
A well-tuned web application layer is CPU bound at scale - your database is well designed and not a source of latency, and the lack of concurrency support in a language doesn’t matter if the interpreter is so much slower than context switches, which is absolutely true for CPython.

There are many sites and services where a rewrite in a new language is just not viable, and I still would recommend Python-everywhere to startups doing things remotely associated with data. So PyPy would be a tide that would lift many boats.
Numba can usually speed up non-vectorizable things by JIT compiling and potentially parallelizing.

I mean, in an ideal world you'd use Julia or a Cython extension, but if you already have something in Python/numpy, numba only requires you add a decorator to your function and it gets jitted.
Uber does seem to reinvent everything for itself - I’d be curious what their ops engineering spend is.

I’ve not fully understood how they can lose so much money given their fee per ride is so much higher than most apps would dream of for revenue
You saw their network reliability requirement right?
I've written a large-ish amount of Nim code on personal projects while using Python day to day at work, and almost every time I'm working with Nim my brain is screaming at me at how unlike Python it is.

Nim took some inspiration from Python's syntax, but the similarity is only skin deep. The construct of the language is very, very different resulting in code that usually looks and is structured differently.

IMO going into Nim thinking it will be like Python but compiled! and faster! with types! is not a good way to approach it. It is an entirely different language altogether.
That's why it would be unknown origin, not zoonosis. They don't default to picking one over the other in the absence of evidence for either.
iptables and nftables both have ways to declare rules for interfaces that come and go. Identifying dynamic interfaces is done by string comparison instead of by index (for static interfaces).

Really? Whenever I needed cats eyes in the UK when driving in Scotland (say east Lothian) or peak district they did not exist. I have been looking out for them a few times out of interest, but I could never spot them outside of motorways.

Obviously there will be worse places. But I am comparing the UK to other reasonably densely populated counties in the vicinity.
Hah, 249 grams. That just barely puts it in the lightweight/least-restricted category. I wonder if that was an intentional design decision.
I believe that the US citizens who working on board could leave, it's the NON-US citizens that the US didn't give a shit about. Hell, keeping the crew onboard meant that the crew will spend their money onboard for necessities like water, cigarettes, laundry and drinks, so that they could make a bank out of bad situation.
There is also the opposite. No matter how correct and polite you are, there will be a small group of people that will hate you.
Sonyflakes are generally more useful in massive scale environments as you won't run into conflicts due to the "machine-id" part (which defaults to the lower 16 bits of the private IP address).

There are more differences (128bit vs 64bit, rng vs time-based), I think they have different use cases.
No. Nobody in the Trump administration went to jail for colluding with Russia.

> The Special Counsel's report, made public in April 2019, examined numerous contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian officials but concluded that, though the Trump campaign welcomed the Russian activities and expected to benefit from them, there was insufficient evidence to bring any conspiracy or coordination charges against Trump or his associates.

FWIW, you don't have to be faster than the bear.

Strictly speaking, "CPU bound" is not an adjective that can be used to describe tasks. It's one that describes a particular program solving a particular task under a particular configuration. I've done no analysis on this myself, but I would be more than willing to believe that a CPU-bound job might be only a CPython-to-MyPy's worth of speedup away from instead being memory- or disk-bound.

It can be hard to tell the difference, too, since being stalled out while waiting on the memory controller shows up as CPU activity in htop.

BD is taking baby steps (sorry) towards the consumer market, and that's one reason that I'm rooting for them.

Economic theory may need time to catch up. I have some theories of my own. Let's talk. ShufflePoint.
Cool paper. I dig the premise. But this passage from the introduction left an eyebrow raised:

> [Recent progress raises] the distinct possibility that we may eventually discover or construct a world to which orthodox economic theory applies.

This really strains credulity for me. Whatever you think of various heterodox economic theories, their objections tend to come boil to some combination of: class analysis; "human nature"; the second law of thermodynamics; conservation of energy; justice; the environment and ecology. To my knowledge, no one in the scientific community is suggesting that other solar systems will contain environments that take those factors off the table (and nor were they in 1978). Resources are finite and people are people wherever you go (unless our species itself is transformed - but interstellar travel is neither necessary nor sufficient for that to happen). What's the deal? Am I missing something? Am I reading too much into the fanciful introduction to an interesting paper?
The murder of Roger Ackroyd

As others mentioned, it's generally an easy choice to write one-off data processing & analysis stuff in. I can get all the multithreading support I need with the multiprocessing library.

For me this always just consists of reading a bunch of files in and then doing some basic aggregation on them. Years ago I benchmarked Python vs. PyPy and found no real benefit to it.

Here is the link to that if you'd like to read it:

I just had coffee, so please double-check the workings of my brain. Doesn't the author mean "consistent?"

In India, you take your pre-med classes in 11th and 12th grade of high school and then apply to medical school. You finish medical school at 22 or 23. Many doctors trained in India come to the U.S., and their training does prepare them for the USMLE exams on even terms with American medical school graduates.

A bachelor's degree should not be required to go to medical school or law school. You can pay doctors and lawyers less if you reduce the cost of their educations.
> "Once Linux gets a desktop it will take over the world" debate from circa 1997-today.

Pretty much all servers run on linux.

Linux also dominates smartphones in the form of Android phones.

Chrome OS is also linux, and it's market share is currently at around 6%.

I mean, other than desktops Linux pretty much is everywhere.
I am not, no.
I wonder if this will be solved with either private schools, or city public schools (no state money, but city money) in places such as Austin.
At the time, I think Compaq was the fastest-growing startup in history. And, of course, Dell also came out of Texas--albeit the Dallas area rather than Houston. TI is also a Texas company. Etc.
Shouldn't that guy that was pushed to turn over secrets have signed an NDA with the previous company? sounds bizarre
My guess as to why swearing in particular is easier would be that it’s mainly due to classic conditioning. When you’re a kid, you tend to learn through punishment (e.g parent telling you off) which words are not acceptable before you really understand what the words mean. Being told off is an aversive stimulus and you form an emotional association to the sound of the word. Later you might learn that these words can be wielded to excite others too, either to make them upset or to just to increase the emotional impact of something you say. In a second language, you’re less likely to have been conditioned that way, or at least as strongly. Regardless, I’ve definitely noticed the effect myself with English being my second language, even though I do swear a fair amount in my native Swedish too.

Why Business Owners Shouldn’t Be Afraid to Ask for Support
Regulating non-competes is not consistent with a free market where individual actors are expected to negotiate on their own behalf. “Inconsistent” is correct usage here.
I dont claim that Excel is the best tool or that it should be used in reinsurance, but it seems that the author does not know how to use it properly.

It sounds more as if they knew Python so they use Python. If author would know Java they would write that Java is better.

For example combining data with logic does not need to happen in Excel. Someone who does this might make the same bad practice in Python too.

Also there are no thoughts that there are many bad Excels, but there are also many bad programs (in Python and every other language). There is some sort of magic thinking that a rookie who switched from Excel to Python will somehow not produce spaghetti code. What is not true at all. Those Excels are much easier to debug by the business side. Any program is a black box.

Author makes empty claims that "excel forumals are long" or that models have many tabs. If the Python program gets as big it might also become a mess.

How many times have you heard that the new programmer looks on old code and says that it is spaghetti? Nearly every time. Nealry every time they want a rewrite too. And Excel just works.

I doubt author used Python programs made by others. There are no comments on that. Also eas authors code reviewed by a real programmer? Author is self thought so odds are that they create some really awful code and dont even know it.
As a native Texan, I’m cautiously optimistic. All of these articles are about established unicorn tech firms moving. It’d be far more of an interesting trend if Austin had a surge in brand new early stage startups that became unicorn companies, and that were built in Austin from day 1.

But, I guess the new startups will follow after more big firms relocate, as some devs will eventually leave to work on their own projects.

Shame is only partially good. Most people feel shame if they take advantage of someone else which is good and keeps your society together. Some people feel shame if they get abused which is bad because the abuser can continue.

I wonder what the debate of nature vs nurture is with respect to shame? I cannot think up any example for inborn shame. Maybe murder? When a human intentionally kills another one there is usually a mental switch to not consider the other as a human anymore.

This is a looked for and rather important development, but not because it is zero-carbon. Who cares about carbon from steel production? If anyone does, consider reassessing your priorities. 1 plant means nothing.

What is hopeful here is it represents Europe's hydrogen strategy to find a sink for all the currently-wasted energy from the renewable energy facilities that they've been building in Europe. This is looking to bring electricity in to the industrial process in a new way.

In a sentence, this is about the energy storage problem of renewables, not about some sort of pollution problem from steel.
I didn't know about the first one. That seems like his power regardless. The last one is a lie. The Ukraine "scandal" seemed completely bogus. I asked for clear examples, not ones he's been acquitted of.
I am not an employment lawyer but very few things about employment contracts are so simple that you can just show up in court drunk and be fine. (Yes, I know you're being hyperbolic.) In part, because if you have a non-compete, you may well also have NDAs, non-solicitation clauses, etc. which are enforceable in CA. If a company wants to make your life difficult you're probably going to be out thousands of dollars in legal fees, lack of non-compete enforceability in CA notwithstanding.

e^loss. It's a bad name for a confusing concept: Loss. (e^loss is just another way of plotting loss, after all.)

Loss isn't the whole story -- the steepest slope during training often produces the worst quality language models. You want a nice, gentle downward slope.

SubsimulatorGPT2 (https://reddit.com/r/subsimulatorgpt2) continued to improve in terms of human evaluation even though the loss stayed flat for over a week.

Your assumption is that they were doing 5 days worth of work in 5 days, and now they're doing 5 days worth of work in 4. But they're just more productive, they're not busier. So it sounds like before they were doing 4 days worth of work in 5.
It depends on how you're deploying. If you're uploading (or downloading) via a web front end (like someone else has mentioned) then obviously one file is easier. I don't recall emailing too many swf files like the twitter poster said but if you were, emailing one file is clearly easier than emailing a set of files.

Also as soon as you have more than one file you can run into path issues.

Right. In Hungary we're weirdly proud of how elaborate our swearing is.

And it's way way more offensive than anything usually used in English. In English it's just mostly isolated words, fuck, fucking, shit, cunt etc.

In English, if you hit your toe against the kitchen cabinet, how would people react if you said: "oh, may that rotten stinky whore God fuck his dirty dick into the sky!" And you come up with it on the fly, this is just an example. Obviously people don't talk like this all the time anywhere, but I don't think this level of offensiveness is usual in English.

Get hot, nope. This thing seems to never get hot. Even in the situation above... a bit warm, but not what anyone would call hot. I have a MacBook Pro 2017, and this thing feels way happier connected to an external monitor than the Intel Macs ever did.

Plus, there's some additional "magic" Apple has put in for external monitors that's really nice. For example, you can shut your laptop lid and all of the apps instantly switch to the 4K Monitor without the old screen resolution change (the 5-10 seconds of black screens and weirdness).

Not OP, but definitely being consequent in when you go to bed. It'll make falling asleep heaps easier.

The second thing is probably making sure you get enough. Yes some people thrive on less than 8 hours of sleep. No that isn't you. Keep in mind too that 8 hours is a minimum. Aim to spend at least 8.5 hours in bed to account for time spent wrestling with blankets and actually falling asleep.
