You've shown poor understanding here.

> Getting things below 1s is nearing the speed of the connection itself

That is absolutely false. Internet latency is actually very low - even e.g. Paris to NZ is only about 270ms RTT, and you _do not_ need multiple full round trips to the application server for an encrypted connection - on the modern internet, connections are held open, and initial TLS termination is done at local PoPs.

For services like this - as they are sharded with customer tenancy - are usually located at least in the same vague area as the customer (e.g. within North America, Western Europe, APAC etc).

For most users of things like Atlassian products, that typically results in a base networking latency of <30ms, often even <10ms in good conditions.

Really well engineered products can even operate in multiple regions at once - offering that sort of latency globally.

> Im pretty sure he doesnt because if he could he would go there

Yeah, we don't use any Atlassian products - partly for this reason. We use many Atlassian-comparable tools which have the featureset we want and which are drastically faster.

> when you dont even have the response time to move your mouse and click on the next item in .5s.

There is clear documented understanding of how UX is affected by with various levels of latency - https://www.nngroup.com/articles/response-times-3-important-...

> Sometimes techies just love to argue

Not really, I have no particular investment in this - I don't use any Atlassian product, nor do I plan to even if they make massive perf improvements.

But I do have an objective grasp - for tools like this - of what's possible, what good looks like, and what user expectations look like.

> no dont give into this guy

I don't expect Atlassian is going to make any major decisions entirely based on my feedback here, but it is useful data/input for exploration, and I do feel it's right to point out that they're looking in the wrong ballpark when it comes to the scale of improvement needed.
How many ancestors did I have 1000 years ago? (2014)
But the thing is that these people are the ones whose main prerogative is to score points. They are largely uneducated and disinterested, the world around them is complex and they feel inadequate. So they read something that tells them all the scientists and educated people in the world are either evil or sheeple and with the blink of an eye they have found superiority to you, when in reality, deep down, they know they don't have a position with regards to the big conversations of the world.

Rather than putting work in to maybe get to a point where they still have to be corrected by those they feel jealous of, those they resent for their cultural capital, they instantaneously put themselves above and beyond all of them.

Reasoning with and understanding them is impossible for two reasons. Everything I've said above and also how infuriating they are. There is only so much going around in circles listening to complete and utter tripe that the most patient of us can deal with. And that is what you'll spend your time doing, because reasoning and explanation is precisely what these people resent about you and it is precisely the driver of their beliefs.

The problem, I believe, is that the ridicule just isn't enough. They have each other as a force field. If they all of a sudden came up with a new piece of half-baked tripe which was ridiculed in their own circles, they would backtrack faster than they've ever adopted any of their views. The ridicule needs to be drilled in.
Back in the 80s when I was starting out in the compiler business, I thought it would be a good service to include with it a list of the known bugs.

It didn't take long before a magazine reviewer did a compiler roundup and simply printed the bug list as his "review". It was a disaster for my business.

It took me 20 years to get over being brutalized by that and make the bug list publicly available again.

Hopefully this demonstrates that the anti-performance-discussion ToS clause is harmful not only to your customers but to you as well. You're getting useful information here only because some people are willing to openly violate it.
Is this saying itself attributed to the Chinese?
What does "full-rate production" mean?

I searched and find a few military/defense related articles, but none of them really explain it in average Joe's terms.
Some IDEs have started warning about this performance hit. IntelliJ + Gradle for example, but I'm guessing other Jetbrains products do the same.
Unusual Soviet solutions to architectural challenges (2017)
Yet for some weird reason this plane is still one of the 4 plains in the running to replace the old FA-18 in the Swiss air force.
Why would anyone do this, instead of running for 1 minute and then being done?

Or at least 4x 15sec if you are in terrible shape.

Also, what are the units of "fitness" that increase 10%? That smells fake.

The article doesn't mention a control, either. Talking to a doctor might be enough to motivate increased activity (and better eating), regardless of the minute of activity during the meeting.
While I get that some folks like The New Yorker’s long-form content, I would greatly appreciate a Cliff Notes version of many of their articles.
All true, and also GDPR has nothing to do with a developer not being allowed to give data to its manager. This is all paranoid bullshit. The author must have been a real pain in the ass to work with.

I would take that with a huge grain of salt. Typically the only thing that would be a full terabyte is a full resolution water simulation for an entire shot. I'm unconvinced that is actually necessary, but it does happen.

An entire movie at 2k, uncompressed floating point rgb would be about 4 terabytes.
Excuse me for hijacking your comment, but I would add filter by year of release. Older phones are very rare to find in mint conditions.
> I did fairly deep research on this beforehand, looking into actual pharmacological aspect of interactions with things like dopamine, etc

While you can read about mechanisms and in vitro this and that all day, this is not the same as quality applied clinical research, which frankly just doesn't exist in any meaningful quantity. I am a practitioner, and I am very sympathetic to the movement of alternative treatments counter to established standards of care, however at the end of the day it doesn't change the fact that the controlled research is non-existent or poor, and things like the MAPS manual are essentially woo.

And specifically the problems I have is that ironically, these alternative treatments which are supposedly trying to overcome boundaries of established care are extremely proscriptive themselves.. they're limited, just differently, and the justifications have very little evidence based backing.
Would be a nice retcon to those pre-90s science fiction novels to explain why they don't have phones in them :)
600 have already been delivered. Covid caused a disruption in final certification, that's it. The F35 isn't being cancelled, although I predict most comments here will devolve into a debate of the plane's merits. The US and many allies are committed, the US will eventually own thousands.
Basically, "will we make the several thousand we originally planned to make?"

For example, the B-2 was planned with over a hundred aircraft, but we wound up making only about 20.

TBH, I don't think it matters that much. The virus is a serious situation but the stock market is acting like the worst is long over. I know the stock market is not the economy , but I think it is no longer a catastrophe but rather more like a wildfire. It could have been a far worse situation if the IFR was 2-4% as originally feared back in Feb-March. Then we would probably be seeing the S&P 500 about 50-70% lower than it is now, cuz when you got airborne cancer, that is not exactly something you can patch over by throwing stimulus money at it. Now it's more like a bad flu in terms of IFR for middle-aged people, but worse though for elderly, so I don't want to dismiss that. But it could have bene sooo much worse, and we were spared that.
Unsafe driving is not characterized by speeding a slight margin over the limit on good roads (see German Autobahn for statistics, these are among the safest roads on the planet). Similarly, I am pretty certain that driving 40 in a 30 zone (when 30 is safely possible) is not the cause of most, if any, deaths. Causes are varied, but generally the situations where one or two meters of road would make a difference are obviously rare.

So to emphasize my point: Permanent and ubiquitous speed control is the wet dream of many people, but it's a proxy. These people have a problem with cars. And there are many places where that is absolutely justified (dense inner cities for example, or streets in front of schools).
Texture artists aren't painting 1 terabyte textures dude.
For what its worth, this article is the best thing I've read on the pandemic in the USA in the last year and I'm glad it finally hit the front page. It's incredibly long, but I found the part 25% or so that focused on the USA's early failures at detecting the virus most enlightening and horrifying. I'd suggest reading at least that part.

Louis Kahn: Listen to the Bricks
The entire studio is VDI based (except for the Mac stations, unsure about Windows), utilizing the Teradici PCoIP protocol, 10Zig zero-clients, and (at the time, not sure if they've started testing the graphical agent), Teradici host cards for the workstations.

I was an intern in Pixar systems for 2019 (at Blue Sky now), and we're also using a mix of PCoIP and NoMachine for home users. We finally figured out a quirk with our VPN terminal we sent home with people that was throttling connections, but the experience post-that fix is actually really good. There are a few things that can cause lag (such as moving apps like Chrome/Firefox), but for the most part unless your ISP is introducing problems it's pretty stable. And everyone with a terminal setup has two monitors, either 2*1920x1200 or 1920x1200+2560x1440.

I have a 300Mbps/35Mbps plan (turns into a ~250/35 on VPN) and it's great. We see bandwidth usage ranging from 1Mbps to ~80 on average. The vast majority being sub-20. There are some outliers that end up in mid-100s, but we still need to investigate those.

We did some cross country tests with our sister studio ILM over the summer and was hitting ~70-90ms latency which although not fantastic, was still plenty workable.
The Business of Too Much TV (2016)
> The first occurred on January 3, 2020, when Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, spoke with George Fu Gao, the head of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention

By this time, Taiwan had already started quarantining travelers from China (starting Dec 31). They were bitten by the lack of transparency and paranoia of the China government with SARS in 2003, so had developed a focus on outbreaks in China so as not to be caught unawares again.

The US CDC failed to learn from SARS and we're paying the price now. No one should trust that China will be forthcoming and transparent about these matters. The CDC needs to learn to "trust, but verify". They didn't verify, and they trusted a source with a long history of not being truthful or timely in divulging information.

Also, by this time, Dr Li had been hauled down to the police station and forced to recant his warning that this was human transmissible. So, the wheels of CCP governance were already grinding the truth under foot.
That should already be there. Is the "Release" filter not appearing?
Don't get me wrong, you shouldn't. But how many of these deaths would have been prevented by a 20% less speed?
Oh, yeah, but I figured it'd include both links, not just the first one alphabetically. But I guess it doesn't make much odds either way.
It is entirely possible that some random person killed during WWII would have been even worse than him if given the chance to live.

What-if scenarios are incredibly wide and deep once you dive in...
It's really baffling that the US isn't looking more heavily at cheaper, easier to field aircraft like the A-29 Super Tucano for counter-insurgency operations like Iraq and Afghanistan.
How will this affect patent trolling? I feel it's a small, good step even though the issue is much larger. I mean, there has been shell companies filing for patent infringement in the past, hasn't it?
After seeing what happened in Armenia & Azerbaijan, I'm wondering if the US's customers are pushing for these cheaper drone options instead of the F35. The F35 has been in development so long, that it's seeing its own combat role supplanted
There are a lot of these comments on HN, that baldly ask for more information without contributing anything or providing any context. So many that I suspect a bot.

I think future customers would like to know what kind of performance to expect, so a write-up sounds like a great idea.

It sounds like a bad business decision to not support open discussion on performance, it makes me think that they have something to hide.
As a reading medium seeing a bunch of tweets strung together is not fantastic as implemented today.

As an authoring medium though, the character constraints force you to write succinct points that keep the reader engaged. You can focus your writing just on one point at a time, committing to them when you tweet, and you can stop anytime. If you're struggling with writing longer form pieces a tweet thread is a great on-ramp to get the outline together, which you can later expand into a post.

As a conversation medium, it's also nice to be able to focus conversation specifically on a particular point, rather than get jumbled together with a bunch of unrelated comments in the comments section at the end of a post.
That is correct. It's pretty common for a technical artist to have a 24-32 core machine, with 128 GB of RAM, and a modern GPU. Not to mention that the entirety of the movie is stored on a NFS and can approach many hundreds of terabytes. When you're talking about that amount of power and data, it makes more sense to connect into the on-site datacenter.
I'm not arguing for a flat earth or against global warming. Far from it. Why does everyone have to politicize everything? I am arguing for the true nature of reality. Don't read into this, I'm not saying anything about those topics or conspiracy theories. I am simply adding an addendum to the post above mine... that IS all.

This isn't some philosophical conjecture either. There are many examples of my point in science. For example: Newtons laws of motion.

Newtons laws of physics are now to our knowledge ultimately wrong. These laws were once fundamental to science and part of our common sense. We now know that these laws were never actually proven to be true. Subsequent observations have verified that Newton was in fact ultimately wrong and that relativity is ultimately the more accurate theory.

Yet relativity has not yet been proven to be true. Nor can we ever prove it to be true. It will always be and shall always be open to disproof. Scientists are fully aware of this that's why a good number of theoretical physicists are trying to work out an alternative theory.

This is literally what the scientific method is, I'm not pulling this out my ass. How facts like this applies to a conspiracy is not something I remarked about.

For us, not that much time, as everything goes through the bug tracker (even enhancements) so it's mostly a copy-pasta job. When I submit a fix for a bug, I'll often edit the subject to accurately reflect what the problem actually turned out to be.
Stop narcissistically using peer pressure to turn people against me. It's really gross and creepy and I will not tolerate it.

The Drive back again with another one of its anti-F35 articles. It would seem that this administration is just punting to the next one, which is probably a good idea.

I would take anything they post about the plane with a grain of salt. They take any setback as if it's the first time a large technical project has ever experienced issues.
If you didn't know, you've been hell-banned (silently hidden from the HN that almost everyone else sees) for two years. That's why you get so few replies to your comments.
I write a production renderer for a living :)

So I'm well aware of the trade offs. As I mentioned, for lookdev and small scenes, GPUs do make sense currently (if you're willing the pay the penalty of getting code to work on both CPU and GPU, and GPU dev is not exactly trivial in terms of debugging / building compared to CPU dev).

But until GPUs exist with > 64 GB RAM, for rendering large scale scenes, it's just not worth it given the extra burdens (increased development costs, heterogeneous sets of machines in the farm, extra debugging, support), so for high-end scale, we're likely 3/4 years away yet.
Weird theory of mine: The DoD ultimately picks these winning planes based on which one “looks cooler” or basically has better aesthetics.

I think the F-35 has better aesthetics than the Boeing X-32, just like the F-22 has better aesthetics than the YF-23. You could say I’m used to seeing the winning designs as “normal”, but I distinctly remember having this reaction before the JSF competition was over.
Proper support in the UI for RTs with comments.

How a startup can survive technical debt
you're completely wrong and the author, as paranoid as she is, is not even making these types accusations and you have no place making them. When you have an HR-type meeting with employee you're having problem with, you chose a place that is private so the employee is not embarrassed to be seen. The senior director or HR person is not on the meeting invite in order to not stress you in advance. It's standard practice for a firing/layoff or major HR problem needing dealing with. The employee then usually goes straight home. A perp walk from the main conference room to your desk would be awful.
Doesn’t the US have many combat aircraft that can fit that service role?
Absolutely, my point was that this system is essentially everywhere, in one way or another, there is no need to say "US", since it's not USA specific system.

You seem to assume that this was a mistake. What is to say that this was not deliberately planted albeit with plausible deniability?
I hope it’s not off topic but it seems to show that one person businesses are probably not the way to go for most people- you will have a much more predictable income in a larger organisation and on average you will be better off financially too. Anyone telling you otherwise is probably a VC trying to make you work for them (or fail competing against them)

To be fair, it goes both ways. The UK gov said "if you can't get a second dose of one vaccine, get another vaccine because that's probably better than nothing, while we run studies on the effectiveness of such" and the NYT and other left wing outlets ran articles stirring up outrage, finding scientists to "slam" (modern infotainment media's favorite word for "disagree no matter how slight") the UK for "making decisions based on zero evidence", pushing the Follow the Science narrative that has sadly become more of a religion than an actual scientific method.
How dangerous is the coronavirus? (Jan. 2020)

It is not good. Like it or not, this is the only alternative NATO has for the forceable future. The British Tempest and the French/German stealth fighter won’t be operational until 2035-2040

The only alternative are modernizes 4gen fighters which are very vulnerable to modern air defenses.

A ‘buggy’ F-35 might still be a better alternative.

Also the British are counting for the F-35 to equip its carriers.

There’s a very tired conspiracy that people can walk into an ER with e.g., a fatal gunshot wound, get tested positive for COVID, and then we are inflating the numbers and blaming their death on the virus.
I feel like there's an orchestrated PR campaign around making these F-35s sound like a success. I wonder what exists for objective reporting & analysis in this space.
Contrarian viewpoint:

I'm very passionate about this idea for open source software, especially things like ruby gems or npm packages that I might use as a dependency, but for some reason I can't muster the indignation to care about this for apps. Maybe it's because I care primarily that the app works and the latest version is stable. I'm generally not going in and considering upgrades to apps strategically, and even if I did I have no ability to see the previous changelogs let alone install those versions. If for some reason I want to avoid an upgrade now I'm living on borrowed time and need to start thinking about a replacement or carefully curate my backups so as not to lose access. Sure in a perfect world it would be nice to have perfect changelogs, but it's so far down the list of things I want out my apps that I place zero value on it.
