The first identifiable ANN was proposed by McCulloch and Pitts in mid-1940s. First embodiments were made in the United States as well.

> How many parts do you think Siemens built for the Falcon 9?

Few if any Siemens parts in a rocket are irreplaceable; there's no other Falcon-9 maker though yet. It is also a separate question how would it play out for Siemens if were they starting up in Europe today.
The Fixed Point
I bought an Aiwa mini-stereo with CD & MD that came with a portable MD player. The portable had a AA battery attachment, and I could go most of the day on the rechargeable and pop that on when needed. I bought 10 blank MD's to record and re-record with whatever I wanted, and that was all I needed for 3 years. It was great.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Europe’s entire social safety net is at risk if their private sector can’t generate enough wealth to support it. Given their declining populations and anti-immigrant tendencies inflamed by the refugee crisis in many of its member states, it doesn’t look good for the EU’s future.
I'd say that the static linking metaphor refers to the container image itself, in that it's standalone and (fairly) "universal".

All the other things you talk about could be set up for standalone binaries as some form of orchestration, after installation, as you say.

To me, the analogy doesn't have to be 1:1 for it to work. Yes, that means there are edge cases which should be taken into account, but that doesn't make it useless.

Especially if you look at how most developers see containers: "I'll give you this image, which I know works [in a given way] and you can run it with something that understands it". You can go ahead and set up a full K8S cluster to run it, or you can run it on Docker Desktop on a random Windows / Mac laptop. "It just works", and it's in this I think the "universal static binary" analogy works.

I get the feeling that all those fancy orchestration tools (health checks, blue / green deployment / fancy network setup / etc) have seen an impressive growth around container runtimes, and therefore often thought of as belonging together, but I don't think that one requires the other and couldn't exist without the other.

I'm curious to see what kind of ecosystem will grow around new developments such as Firecracker and "unikernel containers". I seem to remember a post on HN the other day about some effort by google to run go binaries directly on some VM kernel.
SSH quoting
Perhaps for some really contorted, US-centric definition of ”quality of life”.
It’s not that. It usually ends up in the same storage engine as the main business functionality which leads to IO contention. The some sick and twisted bastard does a join to it from somewhere abhorrent which means it requires some serious heavy lifting to fix it.

This is unfortunately the status quo in the slightly less ideal universe than “seemed like a good idea at the time”

Use SQS or RabbitMQ or something.

Edit: Also if you’re using something SQL for queues you’re going to have to build out your monitoring stack yourself based on your implementation rather than suck up a metrics endpoint with queue stats or pull from cloudwatch.
Why bother with a 3D model of the planets when a 2D model of circles upon circles asks less of us?

It's so much simpler to model the wanderers as moving along the surface of a celestial sphere! Adding depth adds nothing to our understanding when the current mathematical models can already predict their motion to high accuracy. It's all isomorphic anyway.

Look, just go away with your heretical notions, I have calculations to perform!
Hey I assume this is like a joke and not too serious, and we'd all switch off when things got a bit hairy, but I sure hope other readers can tell.

I am literally in the middle of digging a company out of this mistake (keeping Redis too long) right now. If your software/data is worth something, take a week or a month and figure out a reasonable schema, use an auto-generation tool, ORM, or hire a DB for a little bit to do something for you. Even MongoDB is better than redis if your're gonna do something like this.
More like myRocks. FoundationDB doesn't use LSM and definitely wants to do lots of overwriting in place. TiDB uses Rocksdb and would be closer.
To clarify: when you said “rejected after a number of interviews for the nth time,” you didn’t mean those n rejections all came from the same company?

If so, then I misread your original post.
If you are using CSS, you will still have CSS media queries to say "load an image of this size when on a device with this maximum/minimum size" so you can send smaller sized images to devices with smaller screens.

Using the HTML markup allows the browser to load the images sooner instead of having to wait for the CSS to be downloaded, parsed, and evaluated.

And there is nothing preventing you from selecting a larger image on a 2K/4K display if you have it, or using CSS to provide additional cropping, zooming, etc.
I think you might be arguing in bad faith. Looking at your first link, and reading your comment above this one, you’ve drawn an opposite conclusion from the paper.

The paper starts with “ United States has increased by 1.2°F (0.7°C) for the period 1986–2016 relative to 1901–1960 and by 1.8°F (1.0°C) based on a linear regression for the period 1895–2016 (very high confidence)”

But reading the text around your chosen chart is even more enlightening.

“ are mainly tied to the unprecedented summer heat of the 1930s Dust Bowl era, which was exacerbated by land-surface feedbacks driven by springtime precipitation deficits and land mismanagement. However, anthropogenic aerosol forcing may also have reduced summer temperatures in the Northeast and Southeast from the early 1950s to the mid-1970s, and agricultural intensification may have suppressed the hottest extremes in the Midwest.”

If you’re going to cherry pick at least do it from a paper that doesn’t counter your argument.
The idea that we are living in 2021 and phone menus are not used to route users to a fitting agent, or that no caller information is available for the agent is funny, but not true.

It might be that your company did exactly that, probably some calls were routed away from you if the topic was something specific. I really doubt that even 20% of the company with a phone menu don‘t use it to route calls or give the agent additional information
Thank you for your thoughtful downvote.

However I don't really follow. The discussion is clearly about politics here, so it probably does not count as off-topic. Also, fascism has a massive influence on the economy, making it relevant.

If you merely dispute my view that there's fascist tendencies in the US, that is fair, but no reason for a downvote, I'd argue.
Hmmmm I'm not so sure. I'm in the UK not in the states, so the laws are different I'm sure, but in UK you only need a licenced electrician when adding/removing an electrical circuit and for any electrical work in the bathrooms. So say adding a new spur from your fuse box to add electricity to your garage or a garden shed - that sort of thing. Any work on existing circuits(adding sockets, light switches, new light mounts etc) is fair play and doesn't require a permission or any paperwork. Instead you just get an electrical inspection done and an electrician signs off on the house as a whole.

Like someone else said - when you buy a house you don't know how the electrical wiring was done and by whom. Paperwork is required only for the things I mentioned above - new circuits added after the house was built mostly. And even then someone would need to prove that it was done after construction.

So even if the insurance company wanted to deny a claim due to a DIY fitted socket....I think they would struggle, as there's absolutely nothing forbidding me from installing one, and most importantly - my contract with the insurance company doesn't forbid me from doing so.
> I'd be interested on why exactly you think that Redis shouldn't be called a DB?

Normally I think when people say "Redis isn't a DB", they mean "an update will always return successfully before the data has been committed to storage".

If your user makes a change, you record that in a Postgres database, you've informed the user of your success, and the power goes out on the Postgres database, then the user will not have been misled; the data is in the database. If you did it with a persistent Redis system, there is some reasonable probability that the user has been misled and their data is no longer available.

I don't think this is a good definition of a database. In reality, we take various decisions, some of which increase the likelihood data will be preserved across some kinds of failures, some of which decrease the likelihood. No one would say "you don't have a database because you take daily backups from a single, unreplicated Postgres instance". They say "you have made decisions which increase the possibility of dataloss under certain circumstances" (well, they say things I translate that way).
The fact that over 60% of people like to live in a country where birth defines a family's worth as higher than everyone else is mind boggling. I understand at a fundamental level the worship of rich people, since it gives everyone something to work towards, "billionaires aren't so bad because I may be one some day". I cannot understand supporting the monarchy. Are any of the 60% around that could explain their thoughts? I come from a country with over 100 years of republic so maybe I lack perspective.
American Psychoanalytic Association: Parasitic Whiteness at Work
Can someone explain to me the title of the article? This looks like weird English syntax to me.
Yeah, that's why most founders don't actually register a GmbH. Many small businesses are sole proprietors, even businesses with a few employees.
Technically it is entirely viable. Vulkan/OpenGL compute shaders offer more or less a 1:1 equivalent to every CUDA features.
It is more of an usability issue. CUDA has been design to be a GPGPU API from the get go and, therefor, tend to be "easier" to use. OpenCL could have been a better replacement, but the API was really not on par with CUDA when it comes to usability. SYCL looks like finally a good answer by the Khronos group but it is so late. You already have a lot of people who know how to use CUDA, a lot of learning resources, etc ...
Tried snapdrop, but it didn't work. Not sure if it's related to the GFW....
I have ended up getting involved in Amazon bits from time to time as from a client's point of view it's all e-commerce.

They are an absolute nightmare to deal with. Everything is opaque, everything takes however long they want and changes you make as a seller, even as a registered brand owner are merely a suggestion that even if accepted may be rolled back half an hour later with no notification.

The whole platform is at the mercy of bad actors (of which Amazon themselves are the worst)

They then squeeze for the highest fees they can get away with - the bulk of their expertise being used to work out stuff like this rather than delivering any kind of positive experience to their suppliers.

Over the years I have built a hatred of them.
> I walked (yes, strange EU thing where one uses legs instead of wheels) through some part of Fort Lauderdale and it looked like a bloody war zone. I could not live in a country that permits that.

Your snarky comment is just pretentious cherry-picking. I can walk you through some neighborhoods in France, Sweden and the UK where you'd also wouldn't want to live.
Once big companies take over innovation stops and other companies win.

The US does have some major advantages, marketing, flag waving, cultural supremacy (which feeds into marketing), and the ability to create and exploit rent seeking at a global scale.

It benefits the companies and the share holders, but doesn’t neccersarilly benefit the American worker. Nobody care that Nike and Addidas are used globally when the employees are in Bangladesh on 10 cents an hour.
> MiniDisc was a huge success for Sony, and was the winner of the tape-replacement format war in virtually every country - except the USA

Well, don't know about "virtually", but in Europe I only know one person who had one, and I don't remember seeing any on the street / bus / metro.

I remember people having tape walkmans, then portable CD players for a short while, than massively switching to MP3 players when they became available, probably because CD players were extremely unpractical. I used to have an MP3-capable CD player, which kind of mitigated the problem, but it was still not great.

I remember looking at minidisc players at the time, and the MP3 CD looked much more practical to load with music and also much cheaper, so I went with that.
Zoom is hacking on something exactly like this with Zoom Events (I have a friend who’s working on this team) and they are going to come out with something by the end of the year.

Hopefully there’s space for competitors :)
> Apparently you downvoted my sibling response to you as too simplistic,

I didn't downvote your sibling response, but I did ignore it since it provided neither any sources nor any context for why I should trust your knowledge. Apparently others were less kind on your short statement.

With the additional information in this post, I'm much more willing to accept it into my head — thanks for answering this!
> They're trying to pay the consumer BAT tokens for consuming.

Not quite. Publishers are paid in BAT by consumers that choose to do so. Consumers can earn BAT by watching ads, or by purchasing it directly and (hopefully?) avoiding ads. See [1].

I haven't tried it myself, and it's had its share of controversy[2], so it's not a perfect implementation, but certainly a prototype of more user respecting business model.

The idea is that the transaction should be a conscious decision initiated by the user. Not something that is forced upon them by stealing their attention from the content they're actually interested in to focus on product placements that might be--but often are not--relevant to their interests. Then you add the intrusive UI changes some sites adopt to show ads, the pervasive tracking and shady practices, and I can't understand how someone outside of the advertising industry would defend it.

The solution is not smarter and more relevant interests ads, nor simple text based "promise, no tracking" ads. The solution is a reversal of the business model and putting the user in charge of how, what they pay with, and to whom. You know, like it works in the real world when you purchase something. Yes, this would be a financial hit to a lot of companies and the advertising industry, but it seems like a good alternative to these hostile practices that are ruining the internet. What with the constant cookie consent forms and pervasive advertising the web has become increasingly annoying and hostile to use. We should fight to fix that.

For all its shortcomings Brave Inc. is attempting to change this, and we should applaud and promote that. Unfortunately unless the big tech firms adopt similar models, this is unlikely to have mass adoption. And like I said, they have no incentives to do so.

As for answering your question, I'm not paid to come up with user respecting business models for companies. :) But off the top of my head, they could try donations, merchandise, "pro" subscription plans (free for everyone, advanced features for paying users; just don't be crippleware/nagware), or an entirely paid-only model. Yes, it wouldn't be as lucrative and "easy" as ads, but there doesn't have to be a single source of revenue.

> Our generation has it the worst.

Haha. No.

I admit that your generation didn't have a golden spoon shoved in your mouths like the generations from 1950 to 1970, but your generation is far from having it worst.

I do however think that you are on to something when you say that a generation of young men has been disenfranchised. There are no social media campaigns telling young men that they are OK the way you are, no preferential treatment for college or university admission, to preferential treatment in hiring for men, no men-exclusive training courses, ...

This is problematic because it alienates a lot of people and drives them away from a fruitful interaction with society.
It really wouldn't be so much of a problem if Google didn't command 90%+ market share in many countries.

Anecdotally I remember a fine example from a few years ago when Matt Cutts proclaimed they had algorithmically solved spam for queries such as payday loans. A day later, one appeared with Mr Cutts selling payday loans. It was removed within 24 hours.

Sure, once you get passed the useless home doctor (huisarts).
If you're interested in baking, I imagine you already know of Claire Saffitz - but if not, she was previously at Bon Appétit and now has a great YouTube channel on desserts/baking that your description of things like "tacky" vs "sticky" etc being more directly/usefully explained in a video context.

And yes, I 100% agree that Kenji has been an amazing culinary content creator, researcher, and resource for years. Look at his recipes and insights on turkey/prime rib/etc for holiday meals, noodles, cookies, and more as a few outstanding examples. He reminds me a lot of many of the best things about Alton Brown and Jacques Pépin - a scientifically/analytically fussy approach to cooking and baking, but in the right ways - not in the "fussiness without usefulness" (or without useful explanation, at least) route that many chefs take.
Nowaday I think it would be SYCL. It use the same kind of "same source" API that CUDA propose and is portable. Technically it can even use a CUDA backend.
The author gives an example of this afterwards (analysing shares in a pachinko company).

Essentially, you identify numerous hypothetical scenarios, analyse the impact they would have, and use that information to decide whether a particular course of action is a good idea or not.

A significant number of these CVEs are related to dynamic memory allocation (double-free, use-after-free).

Probably not all are the result of that piece of advice and probably some of those memory allocations were necessary, but since this class of errors is common in C/C++, I believe it is really not a good idea to encourage people to point the gun right to their feet.

On a side note, please explain to me how this is end-user oriented in a system where the convention is that a program ends silently when everything went smoothly:

> In error checks that detect “impossible” conditions, just abort. There is usually no point in printing any message [...] Explain the problem with comments in the source.
Careful about what you wish for. Europe taking a backseat is all fun and games until you realise that the US has no legs without EU. None at all.

Yeah it heavily depends where you live, in Germany. In or near larger cities, there's lots of really good options.

Its funny how Germany was ruled for 16 years now by a party whose voters live mostly in rural areas, but didn't do a lot for those areas ...
Yeah, most of the NoSQL solutions boil down to not learning how powerful SQL and its programming extensions are.

My experience with Tinder was that all the women I met turned out to be more interested in hooking up than anything else. Is there an app for people who don't even really want to sleep with each other, but would prefer to just hang out and talk? I want to use that one.
In the very first Times Rich List (1989), the Queen was at the top on £5.2bn.

Where has all the wealth gone? It hasn't. The Times changed the rules for the Queen (and only the Queen) after a nice note from the palace. Now, things she has full use of but can't sell aren't included (eg the Royal Collection).
Even the top tier of decision making political class in the USA has many immigrants. In Europe it's still largely token presence faces in auxiliary positions.
0day Exploit on iOS 14.6 WebKit
It's objective, perhaps, but not overly useful - e.g. the US gets 8.9 for health, partially because the life expectancy at birth is about the average. Except that completely ignores the quality of that life (ironic) and things like "going bankrupt because you broke your leg in a car accident", etc.
> 4.7% growth accumulates to close to 60% over ten years.

Sure, but I think OP meant productivity growth for the whole decade was 4.7%, not annually (though I'd like to see a source for that).
In Europe college and university is cheaper (and in some places free). Also kids and younger persons are more tech savvy in Europe.
There are plenty of well paid tech jobs in Europe. The ridiculous levels of pay you can get in the US are really creating more inequality rather than addressing it.
Technology integration and process improvement. Basically coding led to entry biz analysis, which then led to higher scoped integration projects. And as I saw repeated patterns from customers, I started taking on process improvement projects to help prepare orgs in a more general sense for eventual modernization.
So basically you're saying it could not work to have a social safety net, so let's not have one all together? Because it could go wrong, don't even try?

You are arguing that Google/FB displaced ad formats, and cite Netflix is an exception. Isn't what Netflix doing also "displacing of pre-existing formats".
