There are multiple kind of bridges in Matrix: https://matrix.org/docs/guides/types-of-bridging

It sounds like you'd want puppet bridges. Each of your conversations on the remote side has a corresponding room, and what you say in that room is forwarded by the bridge trough your remote account.

You could try out dendrite.matrix.org as a homeserver (btw, dendrite would nicely fit into these 4GB). Most bridges need admin access to the server though, if you want to host them yourself. t2bot.io hosts a few you'd be able to use with your own dendrite, though it hits capacity problems at times.

Finally, you could try to make synapse leaner by not joining big rooms with hundreds of federating servers. There is a max_complexity (something like it) setting for that use case.
An organism can evolve without junk DNA. But to take human genetic code and remove the junk would change transcription that currently expects it. Portions of the DNA that might be wound would be exposed, or vice versa. It impacts DNA repair, transposition, promoter kinetics, etc.

It's a vargus nerve situation. We evolved around our junk DNA. It's a part of our machine.
But that’s also a failure of internal IT and processes. These types of architectural decisions really need to go through some sort of ARC before proceeding.
I like this idea a lot and I am slightly annoyed that I didn’t think of it myself. Thanks for the contribution.
Are bigger optimizations to be hard in the design of the higher level languages that are easier for compilers to optimize?

As an extreme example, I imagine dynamic languages are hard to optimize because the compiler can make few assumptions about the code.

(Have little knowledge of compilers so correct me if I'm wrong.)
This is a very common idea among technical users. But I'd love to see it backed up by broader research into a theory of product design that works for users in a way that is good for the business.

Most of the time these posts are just rants, which might be true, but may not provide a sufficiently compelling/research-driven case for product managers.
I agree. Joe Biden should be taken off the air for allowing 4000 Americans to die from COVID every day and countless others to be blown up by the military that he commands.

Gin-gonic and a few others try to do that job ( and provide the flexibility to plug the missing parts), but a lot of people say the stdlib is sufficient. Depending on the he case, either can work great.
> ... sometimes _new_ rules by reference to Ancient Greek and Latin ...

This is also where we get the idea of not ending a sentence with a preposition. That's a very Latin rule, but makes no sense in a Germanic language where prepositions are sometimes used not directly as prepositions but rather to modify a verb.

Think of the sentence "I sit up" as an example.
So you're saying the demographics of people who can charge $300k

1) People who make more than $300k per hour on their existing wealth.

2) The most famous / successful motivational speaker in the world that his built that business over many decades.

3) Magic Johnson - who, i mean, is magic johnson so fair.

4) Politicians.

Nothing to see here.
I don't know much about the cutting of diamonds. It seems to me that it's about yield, more carats/clarity/etc and less waste. It shouldn't be long before this could be ML trained. I'm rarely moved by visual art and imagine such a ML-cut diamond would satisfy most (if they didn't know?).
Docker compose and docker machine make deployments so simple. For development I don’t want all my side projects to share the same database, similar to them using the same python install.
There are systems like that within the government, but in those scenarios the Contractor owns the system and deploys it as a service. While it can be cost effective in the early years, it does entrench the Contractor and make it difficult for the Government to switch because they own nothing.
> Using languages like closure do give you a great amount of job security if you manage to sneak it in though.

I am not after job security. In fact, I treat "I am not after job security" as one of the important points when presenting to potential employers.

I try to do good job and think for the outcomes for the employer first.

I value trust and I try to make it clear to my boss that they can trust me to always work with best interest for the project and company.

For example, I always make it clear when I make mistakes and then we try to figure out how to solve them.

I think, overall, this brings much better job security than trying to sneak technology to create a project that only I would be able to maintain.
> I thought fan noise was also affected by the fan’s mechanics?

In a 1U server, you're running 5-7 tandem mounted, counter rotating Delta fans which can spin up to 18KRPM. They're in a confined space, have big cores to drive them and they need to supply a blanket of airflow to get things cool.

Higher efficiency components and a good implicit airflow design affects much more than the fans themselves, since there's not much space to optimize the fan design itself compared to the airflow as a whole inside the server.

Moreover, more intelligent system management solutions with more sensors both inside the chips and on the motherboard allows the BMC to see the whole picture and manage these fans in a more informed manner.
Please add a ref to this airdrop function.
I think there is a misunderstanding here. I was referring to the illumination of aircraft by lights on Earth, not lights on the aircraft itself. The light coming from Earth is wasted.
Most importantly he introduces the idea, that both sides need each other and basically follow the same neocon philosophy to express influence and organize society. This dependency is pretty problematic for resolving the issue...
This seems... exaggerated and not particularly newsworthy, like the journalist's trying to make a big story out of something tiny:

> In a statement, AWU executive council member Auni Ahsan said: “We want to honor the concerns that have been raised, but our primary focus as a union isn’t affiliation or disaffiliation.”

> After the article came out, however, multiple AWU members told The Verge they were blindsided by the news. A Google worker in Europe also said they hadn’t known about the announcement, but noted they typically don’t find out about union news before it becomes public.

> Uni told The Verge that McEnany was “very involved” in the alliance, and during the meeting, McEnany acknowledged he was partly to blame — he’d told Uni to attribute the quote to Koul.

So... just your standard communications mixups? I mean, if the journalist has to quote a Googler who didn't know about the announcement but admits they don't typically get non-public union announcements anyways... it tells me there isn't much here.

This doesn't really seem like "turmoil" to me, but more of a journalist trying to create a sensationalistic narrative.

That may be true, but someone has to develop the apps for your
platform. Developers, tech bloggers, reviewers, streamers are
often power users and influence a lot of consumers.

And maybe they don't care about Apple spending 30 minutes to
brag about how their Macbook just got 0.2mm thinner. But they
might still consider the purchase if it doesn't come with a
touchbar and another broken keyboard.
Chinese companies will take that step for sure once China manages to bring domestic advanced nodes into production. It doesn't make sense to have domestic semiconductor and then use a proprietary ISA like ARM or x86(_64) again.

The author of the article, Anurag Mendhekar, is one of the authors in the original paper on AspectJ [1], which introduced Aspect-Oriented Programming. The origins of AOP are in Smalltalk and the Meta-Object Protocol, I think.

I really liked Aspect-Oriented Programming, despite its great issues with mutually interfering aspects etc. I wonder if it will make it as a big paradigm, but I hope it does.

>Can someone explain to a radio layperson how come there are plenty of cheap, tiny radios if DSP is computationally intensive.

If you want to handle a signal in the analog domain, it doesn't take much in terms of electronics. AM radio can be received using a crystal radio, 100+ year old technology, if the signal is strong enough. You need 6 parts, antenna, ground lead, coil, capacitor, diode, headphones.

To receive FM mono, you could use a diode radio, tuning off to the side of the carrier.

To receive FM stereo, you need a fair bit of electronics, including a phase locked loop.

Receiving FM stereo with RDS, etc. is a quite challenging thing to do in terms of signal processing. It is the only time my laptop really just can't keep up in terms of all the experimenting with Gnu Radio. It has the combination of high complexity, and high bandwidth that multiply out to a large compute load.

That is why the warning was included.

--- And now, for more info than you asked ---

I've had an SDR dongle for years, and got back into it when the plague hit. I've received AM, FM, Single Sideband, all are fairly narrow bandwidth, so I have plenty of compute power to spare for making complex graphs.

One of the "radios" I've built can receive all 5 NOAA weather radio channels at the same time.

Another receives the local VOR (VHF Omni Range) station, and plots the direction to the transmitter.

I can record an arbitrary 2 Mhz wide swath of bandwidth to disk (SSD, actually) in real time until I run out of disk space, and then post-process it later in any manner of my choosing.

GNU radio is free software, and so much fun to play with.

Exactly, it has nothing to do with the contract.

If I make an agreement to delivery 100 million vaccine doses tomorrow and then fail to do it, so what?

Concentrate on real issues, on what we can or cannot do, not on some lawyers' fantasies.
> That got me through a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, but it always left me wanting for more expressiveness in my programs.

I share this sentiment, and I think a lot of it also comes
from Rich Hickey talking about it.

As I relate to what this article expresses, I've noticed
that people who write lisp type stuff talk about programming
in a different way. In some sense there is an academic feel to it. In another sense there is a maker feel to it.

I think Dan Friedman might have said something similar about
static typing not helping too much, but saw dependent types as something interesting

Doesn't help that the opposite party, Indian National Congress, is still reliant on old outdated minority appeasement tactics.

Both parties are guilty of spreading misinformation, but now-ruling party encashed the majority votebank first, and almost controls the popular narrative. Moreover INC doesn't have promising leadership, they are mostly exploited by Nehru-Gandhi family.

In most demographics, majority of people are conservative and it's just matter of time someone exploits it.

Cloud services and other third party software starting to generate and require bearer tokens in this format.

It will be easiest for developers in a hurry or without knowledge to simply copy and paste these third party strings.

(Pedantry is only required when writing their own software to generate bearer tokens, not even using a library or framework, and developers rarely do that, especially the kinds of things written in a rush.)
Squaring is usually value*value.

Still, not worth it on balance. But I miss it.

Anyone who has actually tried this have any comments?

I think it's interesting that they seem to position themselves as an alternative to programmers of jvm languages needing to switch to javascript for browser-side work, but they don't make a clear comparison to eg scala.js or kotlin js, where js code is generated, but not from class files.

I've tried playing with those, and one source of challenges is working with js libraries, which need some wrappers expressing method signatures, which is sometimes a challenge. TeaVM has a bunch of annotations for js interior, as well as the ability to deal with js code as just strings. But I can't see that it clearly solves the issues I find most annoying about scala.js or kotlin js. Is this only a great fit if you're in a polyglot jvm team that also wants to run that code in the browser?
I'm a back-end dev (various languages), and recently did some front-end work with React/TypeScript. It took minutes to 'compile' the 'scripting' language for me to run my changes in my development environment. That was as bad as the worst (mixed Java/Scala) project compile times I'd experienced using a JVM language. Some/most(?) of that might be asset handling, but 'modern' toolchains don't know their own cost or value.
I’d imagine the parasitic capacitance becomes more of an issue at the higher frequencies of v4.

Signal is having technical difficulties
January 15, 2021 (comments)
Signal (business model: "Uber for texting") falls over. Most communications protocols are federated, and would survive one company's servers eating dirt, but Signal's owner/operator has decided this would degrade the user experience, presumably worse than the entire service shitting the bed out loud. Hackernews assumes that Signal is incapable of paying its hosting fees, and comes to the rescue by sending their money to a company that can't spin up cloud nodes fast enough to serve text messages. Other Hackernews bemoan the fact that once again they look like idiots, since they just conned half their friends and family into signing up for this mess.
Thank you so much, this is the kind of summary I needed to understand what's going on!
I think there are trade offs here that we don’t understand yet.
No, it's not the GPU ISA. Complex chips tend to embed management cores, for example to handle power management or various configuration operations across the chip. NVidia used a proprietary ISA (Falcon) for such cores, and moved to RISC V. But this is independent from the GPU ISA itself, which remains NVidia proprietary. So in the end, in their embedded SoC you can find (at least) 3 ISAs: ARM for CPU, NVidia proprietary for the GPU, and RISC V for NVidia management cores. And it's likely there are more, for example for audio DSP and other IPs embedded programmable units.
If you're going to use the term 'invariant' then 'width-invariant' is a bit unfortunate as that seems to imply it is invariant w.r.t. width, rather than that the width itself is invariant w.r.t. something else.

The most 'correct' version would be 'font with weight-invariant width', but that's a bit long.
> Assuming your statements are true, username checks out.

Heh. Thanks for the chuckle.

> How did you go about getting the posts taken down/made invisible?

I made my own legal threats, basically. One site was a ProBoards forum, so I contacted them. I didn't pretend to be a lawyer or anything, just told them I'd get one if needed. I never received any acknowledgement, but the posts did disappear from view. I think they were made private, not deleted. Good enough as far as I was concerned. The other site was kind of a cross between Wikipedia and Quora. In that case I found the site owner and sent a similar email. That time I did get a quite-reasonable response, and the article was taken down.

I haven't been involved in a lot of legal stuff, on either side, but enough to know how it works and not fear the process. Once someone realizes that you have the resources and determination to drag them into actual court, they tend to think pretty hard about what persisting might cost them - in this case possibly in terms of reputation even more than money. No surprise that he/they folded quickly.
That depends on what you see as the purpose of the visa requirements. If the purpose is to support economic prospects for American citizens and current residents (which seems like a completely valid purpose of government), then putting hurdles to ensure the job opening was “shopped” to qualified existing authorized workers seems pretty reasonable.

(I should clarify that I’m fully in favor of immigration programs that serve to increase the density of highly qualified individuals in the US and to fill positions which would otherwise go vacant. If as a small side-effect, those programs depress wages via increased supply, that’s still an excellent trade for the population. I am not in favor of visa programs substantially/primarily aimed at decreasing wages.)

They should be required to use an accessible API with published schemas and documentation. I’m surprised someone hasn’t identified this as a stability and security risk for our government.

By increasing the size of your exposure. Ideally, diversifying exposure to opportunities/people/circles/etc.

This should be done concurrently with (if not as a result of) increasing quality and amount of your output. By the time you meet the 'right' person, are in the 'right circle', you'll have something to show. Otherwise, it's wasted opportunity, and hence wasted luck.

The computer is an Intel Kaby Lake i7 - really nothing special. I’ve never noticed crazy CPU usage.
>The UK invested in AZ 3 months earlier. Even if contracts are not very explicit about this, it appears that AZ really saw it as a separate supply chain from the very beginning, at least for initial doses. Looking into contract is like trying to catch them at technicalities which is not done in good faith.

Why are you insisting on 12 weeks difference in a contract celebration when the issue at hands is AZ failing to fulfill their commitment - and it's not by a short amount, but by more than 50%+.

If they "saw it as a separate supply chain" then they shouldn't have added to the contract that it wouldn't matter where the vaccines were produced, right?

And saying that's a technicality when they are hiding behind the quote "best possible effort". They basically can claim they are doing their best effort while they have plenty of stock being made, and not shipping it.

>Again, it is not contracts that can miraculously create more doses now. It was only because of investments done before. AZ is doing this for non-profit (a big mistake in my opinion), so what can you squeeze out of that?

>In fact, the EU should have invested even more, make them to build even larger facilities with more bioreactors that in case of low yield they would still have more doses. But it is all in hindsight, so not very useful to say it now.

Then maybe AZ should have made arrangements, or asked for help, if they saw they weren't going to be able to fulfill the orders - or maybe they were expecting to move orders from UK, yet they were blocked? Who knows, right?

EU released the contract, they are not hiding. So if AZ is hiding something, they should come forward or face the consequences.

>The UK is not privileged because their sites had the same issues with the first batches. The only difference is that they started 3 months earlier.

Again I see no relevance in this, AZ signed a contract and committed to a deadline which they are failing by A LOT! I'm not saying UK is privileged or not, this is the contract between AZ and EU - now if UK is blocking AZ from exporting vaccines, let it be said out loud and let's all be transparent. If AZ is fulfilling UK contract and shitting on EU contract, then they are the ones privileging UK.

EU is asking for transparency. One thing is AZ fulfilling all contracts by less than 50%. Other thing is some countries get 90% of fulfillment, and EU gets 30%.
It reads like there are wreckers in AWU that just wanted it to be a generator of #resistance press releases, and they're becoming very angry that it might be used for the sake of Google workers around the world.
