The general rule of thumb in software performance is that the larger the scale of the codebase is, the more the "hotspots" will matter.

The CPU word size, number of registers, memory sizes and cache all matter to this since they determine the "base unit size" that the hotspot code could address without dropping down a layer.

Pointer-chasing code can be slow, but if the entire structure fits in cache, it won't be that slow. It gets slow mostly because the CPU can't predict what's needed next and keep the pipeline fed. And if you were to have a pointer structure that also existed in memory mostly-linearly, it would most likely have performance characteristics similar to a flat array. At scale, the data format really is the bottleneck to performance - shaving off a few bytes with better packing can make the difference, and in this respect, yes, Java is going to impose some limits via lack of control.

That said, as a society we still process petabytes of JSON daily. We aren't constantly doing high-performance things - inputting and editing data and making it legible to humans are tasks that have the natural result of putting some "slack" and redundancy into data. Games tend to get results fast by "cheating" and turning the full-fat editable data into a lean, single-purpose rendering structure.
A lack of community. Or, eachother.

I don't even know what they do anymore. They used to make money by just raiding their portfolio companies' pensions, but now that corporations don't offer private pensions, I just don't know. Maybe they're actually improving the companies?

Just follow the thread in the gcc mailing list. There are loads of questions now which need to be answered, just to name a few:

- Can the steering committee make that decision?

- Can the code be still easily(!) re-licensed to a possible GPLv4?

- How can code later be re-licensed to GPL with runtime library exception or to LGPL?

- Who should be named as copyright holder?

It might very well be that all these questions can be easily answered, but that should have happened before.

I agree about the importance of actually living there and contributing (_not_ monetarily) to the community. Several of my roommates in college grew up in Bolinas, and for them it was clearly a magical and a formative experience. But this is only achievable if you have a critical mass of intentional community builders residing there. Despite some downsides (only one of my friends has been able to continue living there in the long term) and trickling gentrification, Bolinas seems to have successfully clung on to that ethos for now.

This is being downvoted, but it seems like a reasonable theory to me. I know a decent number of brilliant engineers/hackers who are strong proponents of a vegetarian diet.

Or maybe it's just a general attack on US food production, and meat is the most vulnerable sector due to its complexity.
Not disagreeing - I meant that generally, not specifically. You can still target by knowing something about the user, rather than relying solely on the content itself.

Intellimize | Back-end / Machine Learning Engineer | REMOTE (US or Canada only) or ONSITE San Mateo, CA | FULL-TIME | https://www.intellimize.com/careers/mle/

Intellimize optimizes websites to generate more revenue. We use machine learning to automatically optimize each buyer’s path to drive more web conversions.

Our unique solution enables experimentation and personalization at an unparalleled scale, and it replaces traditional approaches to optimization such as A/B testing and rules-based personalization. These methods are too slow, require daily attention, and don’t automatically adapt to changes in behavior over time.

This role: experienced levels (mid, senior, ...),back-end and ML engineering. The exact ML / non-ML blend is flexible, and we'd be happy to have a great back-end engineer join us without any ML background.

Primary technologies: Java, Python, Tensorflow, Spark, Airflow, AWS.

Our team is positive, low ego, and customer focused. Strong communication skills are a must.

We plan to re-open our San Mateo office once it is safe to do so, and the company will continue to embrace remote work (it's going great for us!). Our engineering team is is remote-first, this particular team 100% remote.

You can apply via email to careers@, or to alex@ if you want to contact me directly. I'm the hiring manager for this position.
How is a "business focused Internet" different from the internet? Why would it not have the exact same flaws?
Probably a number of things:

The US government isn't very interested in pushing them (though this may change as it re-enters Paris and so on).

The US doesn't have the same range of electric cars available as Europe or China. There's no US equivalent of the 20k VW e-up, say, or the Renault Zoe. This will likely change.

The US is much more sparsely populated than China or Europe, and average journey lengths are longer. This makes cheap electric cars with small batteries, in particular, unattractive. This is harder to change.

Electric cars are also somewhat politicised in the US, caught up in a culture war. This is essentially unique, and who knows whether it'll change.
Yes, I found that a weird argument as well. It is not an argument at all.

Feynman drank, played bongo, womanised, slept with some of his friends' wives.

But that does not mean everyone who does that is a great Physicist. Neither all great Physicists do these.

Taking an outlier and using him for justification of something seems obtuse.

I love Feynman, and have a picture of him on my wall. But that does not mean I idealize or even like everything he did in his life.

Why Most A/B Test results are lies
I use a self hosted kanboard instance for my tasks or todos. I use zim as knowledge base and journal. I bookmark stuff in a self hosted shaarli instance, and tag things I need to read later with the #read tag. In Firefox a bookmark link takes me immediately to my reading list.

In Fastmail, I make extensives use of labels to be as close as possible to inbox zero. Every email gets a label and gets sorted asap.

This is the results of years of experimentations but this is the longest I've been sticking to a workflow/tools.
Is there any other kind of "cyber attack" with respect to companies like this? This is a serious question, I can't imagine someone DDos'ing or trying to "steal passwords" or "private data" from a meat processor. But disrupting their business and holding them hostage? Seems to be a thing these days.
Presumably operating at a much lower level in general so attack vectors are greatly reduced.
why is that? isnt the main innovation done in design? anyone can code something up that has been designed for them already

Thanks for the tips. Will give the AV1 setting a shot. By Iridium do you mean "Iridium for Youtube"? It seems it's not maintained anymore? TBH this functionality was default working on Youtube for me until recently and suddenly stopped. I'm on a 4g based wifi at home (long story) so maybe this is the issue but it 1) only just started happening in the past 2 weeks and 2) really shouldn't be an issue as the speeds are pretty good. Everytime I switch to 1080 or higher even there is no buffering issue at all.
It is a chicken and egg problem though. The quality of the ecosystem can be improved with a really strong editor underneath. However bringing the ecosystem to the editor is incredibly hard.

I think vim is a messy pile of hacks, and I would love to see that changed. Neovim is nice with the extend and evolve approach but I'm always looking for something that can really provide a clean base for extensions to build on. (Yes ,yes, I know emacs is an editor-writing IDE)

On the other hand I see nothing about plugins here. I think the approach to extensions is a very important question to answer early on.
Correct. Previously, advertisers bought segments of 3P cookies, then targeted those IDs wherever they appeared. Cookiepocalypse means that advertisers will be unable to buy segments of domain-agnostic IDs (3P cookies), and so it will be up to the publisher to segment up its viewers and sell access to those segments to advertisers.

There will be more layers of aggregation on top of that, such as SSPs (supply-side platforms, which aggregate access to publishers' inventory) or PMPs (private marketplaes, which are effectively funnels of select inventory per some critera for some client), but the general principle is that targeting capabilities are shifting from the demand side to the supply side, closer to the viewer. So instead of picking the right segment, effective advertising will be about picking the right publishers. That's good for Google and Facebook because their 1P data is so rich.

Not at all. It's expensive and very harmful. Why would I drink alcohol when I can enjoy a meal out with friends without drinking at all?
Well, this is a problem that FSF created. They tried to unilaterally appoint RMS to the steering committee and were forced to renege when most of GCC's top contributors threatened to walk away from the project.

If they didn't get rid of the copyright aggreement there would have just been a fork or those people would have gone to work on other projects.
None of it was on the internet 30 years ago and we survived. All it takes is responsible corporate leadership to fix this problem.
Maybe I'm not the common use case, but when you say "because [Sublime] is that fast", what do you mean? Creating a new file in VSCode, for example, couldn't be any faster. Is it the case that you close VSCode often? Is it booting the application that is slow? This isn't criticism by the way, I'm genuinely curious since I hear this a lot.
Targeting politically important industries rather than strategically important ones (no price increases get people quite as fumed and likely to take to the streets as gasoline and meat price increases) is an interesting development in quasi-state-sponsored cybercrime.
:). Yeah there were. "Mac and cheese" is a fillin for ramen, rice, beans, ketchup and tortillas, and whatever leftovers I could scrounge from friends and take home from washing dishes in the cafeteria.
It could be, but that's something that only privileged elected officials e.g. members of the intelligence committee, US President, past presidents, etc, get to know. If you let yourself get into conspiratorial thinking you'll soon find yourself without any moorings whatsoever.

It could also be many other countries or even private entities that get excited about extracting money from big US companies. The list of possibilities is very long.

> I’ve long thought that a sensible constitutional guarantee would be the right to leave the country at any time.

In totalitarian regimes, constitutions aren't worth the pixels they are printed on. Rights guaranteed by laws must be enforced by the judiciary and the executive. But that only happens if (1) cases actually reach a court, (2) that court is independent, and (3) the executive is willing to enforce the court's decisions.

Indeed, according to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_Belarus, "Citizens [...] have the right to protest against the government." Problem solved?

There was also the lawsuit around BSD [1] which was only settled in 1994. I remember that uncertainty about the legal status of BSD lingered for a few years after that. I think Linux picked up a lot of steam from users and developers who wanted a unix on their PCs and were scared to touch BSD.

What we do actually matters.

The CareEvolution platform supports the acquisition, liberation, and integration of health data, enabling caregivers, researchers, and patients to make much better sense out of it all. Our platform and its applications have already dramatically improved the quality of care for hundreds of millions of people across the nation.

In addition to numerous deployments at hospitals and insurance companies, CareEvolution’s platform serves as the technical infrastructure for the National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Research Program, which aims to enroll 1 million Americans for medical research as part of its Precision Medicine Initiative. CareEvolution’s platform also hosts the SAFER-COVID self-assessment tool, as well as Scripps Research DETECT Health Study, which has been used for early identification of when users may be coming down with an illness - including COVID-19 - by analyzing wearable device data, such as Apple or Fitbit devices.

Although CareEvolution has been around for nearly two decades, we still very much have a startup feel - everyone here takes on at least a couple of roles. We're looking for smart, motivated, leader generalists with expertise in security operations to help us rapidly - and securely - expand our platform.

We have been remote-friendly for more than a decade.

This is an extraordinarily exciting and important time to be in healthcare IT. Our country's leaders at all levels of government, business, and academia are debating the best ways to fix our healthcare system. Come be a part of the solution. Please send your PDF resume to resume@careevolution.com.
