Fair point. I remember an earlyish web, but I guess 1994 is a little before my time (I was born in 1993).
Definitions vary. The formal Regency period was nine years. But, from Wikipedia: "The term Regency (or Regency era) can refer to various stretches of time; some are longer than the decade of the formal Regency, which lasted from 1811 to 1820. The period from 1795 to 1837, which includes the latter part of George III's reign and the reigns of his sons George IV and William IV, is sometimes regarded as the Regency era, characterised by distinctive trends in British architecture, literature, fashions, politics, and culture."
I've always thought that a team like this is critical to keeping a company running. Any org that's 1000+ needs a 5-7 person team outside of any department that the CEO can throw at problems, but no org that I'm aware of has adopted this structure.
IBM needs at least one man in this team. He will explain to the others why they don't need blockchain.
Disables Google based sync services on chromium. For example, arch's community install of chromium will no longer support Google sign on and sync making it almost worthless in today's world.

This is probably going to kill chrome for a lot of Linux users who prefer to use standard package manager installs of things.

Closed source chrome itself is obviously still available, but I'll pass. Needed something to kick me over to Firefox anyway, why not this.
My favorite is when a certain pilot spends an entire episode running hundreds of combat simulations to program his ship for about fifteen seconds of combat towards the end of the episode- since the fight happens so quickly a human can't react quickly enough.

I work in an area like this. I'm in the automotive space where there's just a whole slew of industry knowledge to stay on top of; both business practices that change frequently as well as regulatory information.

It's pretty rare to see engineers that know the industry as well as the PMs, so we focus heavily on having good communication and dedicating time to make sure features are well understood before any work starts. Our structure works well for us, but I can definitely see how it would be advantageous, where possible, to have engineers who knew more about the business.
This entire article is built around avoiding taxing the wealthy who have sucked up most of the money and refuse to put it back in the economy. Instead it hijacks the word "progressive" and tries to attach it to a new version of supplied side economics. The biggest red flag is how it completely avoids talking about removing Health Insurance companies, who provide zero value. A single payer systems would actually start creating a real healthcare system in the US and be cheaper.
That's a start, I will do.
The images from CS348B at Stanford in Winter 92 are still up:

but I think everything on the site was actually posted sometime in 1994.

Unfortunately, the University of Utah recently deleted all alumni home directories and websites (I managed to save what I could). There were probably some fairly early pages up there.
Cool, I’ll add it to https://nomorefacebook.xyz as alternative!
Well yeah, because category theory studies composition. That's what it's for. That's why a category is defined the way it is: a bunch of objects, identity arrows from each to itself, and arrows between them, which enjoy an associative composition operator.
I’m sorry but I still don’t agree

> imagine a scenario where someone has been working for years as a payroll administrator or someone who’s been a consultant working on implementing payroll systems for decades

These people hate their jobs and only do it for money. No reasonable person would ever do this for fun. Creating new payroll software is just a means to an end that you have to slog through to deal with the interesting problem of running a company, engineering, or making money. The idea that an entrepreneur should love payroll software is ridiculous
IIRC there is only one lab which produces grapheme efficiently enough for research purposes, which supplies many other researches.

When many labs will efficiently produce graphene, we will have made a step towards small-scale industrial production. Not yet, AFAICT.

I share your thoughts but then thinking more on it made me realize how drastically different that business model would have to be. Retail is all about getting a customer to that cash register and then out the door with a decent chance of coming again for something similar.

A hangout spot...a Gamestop-branded Dave and Busters or other video game lounge makes a lot of sense if you have the space. But the business reasoning is backwards: get people in and get them in a mood where they'll buy trickle-goods like food/drink, time on a given display...And all the while you suddenly have to contend with the culture of your patrons a lot more...directly. A snotty kid being brat in your store eventually leaves and is forgotten. In this new model, that kid wants to stay in your store a lot longer and worse will try to interact with the other patrons (that being the point of your store, after all).
Calibrated estimates with huge uncertainty ranges are still useless, even if calibrated.

"One month of refactoring this component can save us between 500k and 50M in the next five years with 90% probability" - this is not very useful for the decision maker, yet it is quite difficult for a domain expert to narrow the range.
That's Draw.io, for those that haven't heard of their new name, and I definitely agree that it's brilliant piece of software. Pretty much the one and only web-based productivity software I enjoy using.
He admitted guilt. Do you think the media should say "However, he might be lying about being guilty" to achieve some sort of weird "balance"?
Power Query
The learning engine in GraphScope (aka. GIE) has a simiary programming interface and functionlity with euler. They both support graph neural network training, e.g., GraphSAGE, GCN, GAT, etc. However there are many differences under the hood.

1. The programming model is different. Euler provides a message-passing style API to define new graph models, while GIE provides a sampling API first, and abstracts a batch of seed nodes or edges(named ‘ego’) and their receptive fields (multi-hops neighbors) as a "EgoGraph", which can be turned into a "EgoTensor" as features.

2. Euler implements operation on graphs as tensorflow ops, while GIE takes a more flexible design and doesn't couple with a specific machine learning framework. Upon the sampling interface, developer could build their GNN models using either tensorflow, pytorch or any other machine learning framework, and even for non-GNN tasks.

3. Most importantly, euler is just for graph learning. In graphscope, the learning engine could co-work with the analytical engine and with the interactive query. In real world cases usually so complicated and the problem is not just a GNN training task, and different dedicated systems may involve for different kinds of workload, that means users need to move and transform data back and forth between systems. In GraphScope, engines for different proposals share the same graph, and, live in the same jupyter notebook to delivery the ability of one-stop large-scale graph computation. That is more user-friendly for data scientists.
Depends on the company. I worked for a small company that was a real clown show. Sales would come down to the engineering area and say things like "I just closed a huuuuuuge sale for the company. We need a product that does A, B, and C, now so we can deliver it!" And, that became engineering's scope for the next 4 weeks...
Not as much as you think.

As rich people never need an employer in the future, a felony and prison time isn't as consequential as it is for others. Many times their white collar crimes are able to be negotiated to just under a year in prison, to avoid felony status. Felonies can limit what kinds of financial services they can offer or be a part of, and can limit which countries they can get into. But it still is not the same consequence as the general population.
> With 8M/4M/2M/1M/512k stack size, 4K page size, you get about 800M/800M/800M/600M/500M RAM usage

Simulating this (by creating 100k maps of the relevant sizes) there is no difference in RES between 8M pages and 512K pages: it was ~495M for both, only the VMEM varied (respectively ~780G and ~50G). Touching the second page increased the RES of both to ~816M, which is about what you'd expect.

This is on a more or less stock x64 Mint.

> I think main problems start when you actually touch more than the base allocation of the stack

The thing is you're unlikely to do that in all of your 100k routines, most of them will not grow beyond their first page, and maybe their second… at which point the routine's stack would have grown to 8k anyway.

> maybe segmented stacks grow from 200M to 300M, 500M or whatever you actually use at a given time (with say 20-60% efficiency)

Go has not used segmented stacks since 1.3.

> your C-compatible stacks might go from 500M to 3G¹ if you on average touch just 32K of stack per thread with some unlucky function

Your not-C-compatible stacks will do the exact same thing. Since 1.3, stacks are realloc'd and double in size on every overflow.

The Go runtime will also shrink stacks if able (halving them) during a GC run, but you can do essentially the same thing on your C stack using madvise(2), and without the need to copy stack data around.

So what gain there is, is really only for goroutines which never grow beyond their initial size (and only since the default stack was decreased from 8k to 2k in 1.4), at the cost of all the C incompatiblity mess. And it assumes these 2k stacks are allocated from a reusable pool (which is probably a fair assumption though I certainly did not check it) otherwise they'd be on different pages anyway.
I was thinking recently about how GameStop might pivot. They have retail locations, which a lot of companies don't, so they should take advantage of that.

Some examples I have thought of include:
* put 3D printers in the stores and sell custom objects based off of your gamer profile.

* convert the stores into a gamer bar and show eSports tournaments.

* host LAN parties or move into tabletop games

> Speaking as a student whose school primarily uses Google's suite (classroom, meet, etc..) but still has a few older solutions, some of which are free software, I can say that there's a common argument that schools should focus on pragmatism and working with what they have - the age-old argument that free software still is not accessible or easy to use. I don't beleive that this is still an issue.

> Out of my current teachers and teachers I've had in the past, almost all of them were vocal about not liking Classroom or just didn't use it. It is basically a small layer on top of Google Drive & Meet that does not integrate anything nearly well enough. Most of my teachers seem to prefer Canvas, a free software solution to this, because it has more features. My teachers primarily cited the integrated quiz/test system as its biggest draw when I asked.

> Classroom is also is very difficult for less-privileged students to use - speaking as someone who used to rely on a 4 GB of RAM netbook with a Pentium and was still using it for part of this quarantine, even with Linux things really get slow. This could primarily be attributed to relying on a lot of Google tabs at once (for Drive, forms for quizzes, etc) while Canvas I've never had to open more than a few maximum. My only other option is to buy a Chromebook and while my school can afford Chromebooks for every student, many students are relying on just using what they have.

> With that, I don't think that the proprietary software really has all too much of an advantage in terms of pragmatism (which imo is even more important in schools). I don't think the usual arguments against adoption of free software really seem to hold up, though I assume that cost might be an issue that I'm not aware of seeing my district is rather rich.

> I'd love to hear more teachers opinions on this. Hopefully this gave you an idea of how education tech is from a student user's endpoint.

What I've always wondered is - why don't we put a supercapacitor between a an EV battery and the motor?

This means that EVs of all kinds, could not only get crazy acceleration, but could also recover all the energy of regen. Even battery packs with a very good layout can absorb a fraction of the acceleration energy, and less or none when the battery is cold or at the upper range of capacity.

I remember reading an article about a porsche in a car magazine (many) years ago that discussed not the horsepower for acceleration but also the horsepower absorbed by the brakes to decelerate.

It might have been 500 horsepower to accelerate the car, but since the brakes were very good, it could absorb 900+ horsepower when bringing it to a halt.
"Le bon ton" likely had a very direct hand in shaping colonialism, given that they were aristocrats and landed gentry, and given the "season" spent in London was shaped around political networking.

However, I also meant that it was a sort of cultural neo-colonialism: that the British are allowed to present the history of this period as a romantic drama.
If you can charge a capacitor, your storage battery doesn't have to be designed to meet peak power requirements, rather, average+capacitor charge.

Whether it makes much of a difference who knows, but it may open up different chemistries or whatever.

It's interesting that I saw this post minutes after watching the talk "What's a Memory Allocator Anyway?" by Benjamin Feng. It's ostensibly about Zig's allocation schemes, but it's more of a general overview of the varied (single-thread) allocation strategies in use today. It made me really want to try out arena allocators

It's a quick watch at 1.5x speed, the last third is an interview.

My SO and I were looking for a show to watch last November, so I did a search of "highest rated shows on X platform" and The Expanse was one of the frontrunners. There were some reviews that said it was slow to start, with lots of confusing world-building, but it picked up straight after.

We didn't get the sense that it was slow and hard to follow, at all. In fact, one of my favorite things about it is the amount of world-building that you're presented with, especially in the beginning.

We marathoned the first four seasons in a few weeks, and luckily Season 5 started less than a week after we ended. It's easily one of the best shows I've seen in a long time, and one that I've been recommending to people left and right.
Drones probably care more about the output rate than the input rate? If you need a fast recharge you can change out the battery, so that has to be less of an issue. With high output, the drone can go fast, change course in a hurry, carry a lot of weight, or fly into a headwind.
I'm applying it.
The height contributes to being an investment. When I was looking for an apartment in Vancouver I wasn't keen to have to use an elevator every day to get to some 20+ or 30+ floor. Thankfully ended up getting a 10th floor apartment (took a video when moving out for prospective buyers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNypbD3EbHE)

The only reason to put up with a high floor is if don't intend to come & go very much. Nice place to stay maybe during vacation or to host a party or quarantine, but should be some of the less valuable residential space per square foot in the area if it weren't "an investment" as you say

Hopefully rather than regulate these buildings away, lessons can be taken from the issues they're experiencing to build more which'll eventually become affordable housing
My favourite show, first season is a bit slow but it gets better and better every time.

I just hope they manage to cover all books

Data export is important, and it doesn't exist yet. Exporting the users table and the text content of posts/comments will be straightforward, but extracting all the images is going to take a little bit more work.

Yes, but Netflix famously saw their pivot coming from the very start. They didn't name the company MoviesByMail.com -- they named the company for the future wave they intended to hit.
> " [..] which is my way of explaining why so many stories about Amazon — including, I guess, this one — start with the fact that relentless.com redirects to Amazon.com."

Relevant thread from earlier today that discusses, if relentless.com was considered as a name for the company before it was amazon.com - with Amazon employee #2 chiming in.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26007814

Seems like relentless.com was first registered on 24th of September 1994 (a Saturday), just 37 days before amazon.com was registered on the last day of October 1994 (a Monday).
True, although Python and Ruby are extreme cases here. PHP is JIT'd these days, and can be quite a bit faster on this kind of numerical code. JavaScript even more so. I've seen posts on r/rust asking why their Rust port wasn't faster than the JS version, and it turned out not to be lack of optimisation, it was just simple numerical code (doesn't require allocation) which is already super-optimised by modern JS engines.
I don't know about Brazil but that's how the rules work in the UK, because otherwise everyone would charge $1 for the item cost and $itemPrice+25 for shipping, and no custom tax would be paid.
The show is simply brilliant and yet seriously underrated. Everything from the storyline, concepts, characters (and their names) and technical details are amazing. I wonder why Amazon doesn’t promote it as much.
Some early PC compatibles were based upon the same backplane/card approach as the S-100 computers. I have a Zenith/Heathkit Z-160 transportable in my collection. It has an 8 slot 8-bit ISA backplane and everything including the cpu is on ISA cards. This backplane is shared with the Zenith/Heathkit Z-150 desktop. They also released AT class desktops, by this time the portable PC form factor had become too small to support this approach, which used a 16-bit ISA backplane before eventually abandoning the approach for their later computers. Most likely for all the reasons you point put.
Agree completely. There's one episode in the 3rd season, I believe, where a lot of damage occurs on a ship full of people (being vague). I always loved how in that episode, they go a lot into the added difficulties of injuries in space. For example, the inability of the body to stop bleeding and clot if there's no artificial gravity, so even minor wounds become deadly. I also think the Expanse presents a more realistic picture of what humans of today would be like in space, not the usual more optimistic version of us...
Thanks for sharing! I'm curious about the exact dividing line between PII and non-PII. So if you know, could you clarify a detail?

Your phrasing was: "If the hashed password *is used as* a lookup key, that makes it a unique identifier, and it's PII."

If I take your wording literally, your saying that I could store everyone's SSN in a database, but as long as my system didn't attempt to use SSN as a unique identifier, the SSN doesn't count as PII.

But it seems unlikely that that's how you meant it.
I love Derek's writing, but aren't we likely within a few weeks of non-RNA vaccines in the US via Johnson and Johnson, though?

He didn't really answer--can that one be scaled since it has more standard dependencies? If so, isn't the "naive" question perfectly valid in that case?
> I realise you're doing this primarily for people to share personal content, but there's plenty of people out there that want to share personal thoughts to a large part of the world but just don't want to get censored by FB and your solution could work well for them.

It's probably worth asking OP what their position on censorship is before suggesting this. It's shocking to me, but many in the tech community are very pro censorship (though they will call it "moderation" since it's not happening to them).

Also if a customer of OP's got big enough and was controversial enough, AWS could threaten their account if they don't terminate that user's pages. So even if OP is a free speech absolutist, it still may not be a solution to the problem of big tech censorship.
Wow. That's very far from what my intuition would guess.

Good thing we have physics and math :)
