> In my understanding, the architecture of a GPU and CPU are so fundamentally different that it doesn’t reallly make sense.

Yes and no. You find surprising bits of code that can be shared.

Read through a high-performance GPU project like "GPU perft" (https://github.com/ankan-ban/perft_gpu/blob/master/chess.h). The "perft" problem is the problem of counting the number of board positions reachable in X moves. (Perft(15) is "how many board positions exist within 15 moves from the start of chess?". Perft(1) is 20, and Perft(2) is 400, then 3+ gets a bit complicated!).

You can see that the fundamentals of bitboard manipulation (using the 64-bit number to represent the 64-squares of a chessboard) remain the same whether or not you're on a CPU or GPU.

In this case, you want the code to be shared between the two sides. Why write the code twice? Both CPUs and GPUs are very good at 64-bit integer manipulation.

------------

The actual search (how to branch off, coalesce results, coordinate threads) is extremely different between CPU and GPU. So of course, you want that code to be written in a CPU-specific, or GPU-specific manner.

But the question of "where can this Bishop move??" (the sliding piece attack subroutine) is identical on CPU or GPU.
This is one of the reasons why we still make movies.

Command line tools like grep, cut, awk, and others can be highly suitable for the job. But like one commenter already mentioned, it’s going to depend on what kind of logs you are looking at. And furthermore, what kind of analysis you are looking to do.

As far as I can tell he served as Under Secretary of Energy for Science and has zero climate science background. I’m not sure it’s accurate to call him a “climate expert”.

There are plenty of articles debunking his points as outdated strawman arguments, e.g. https://climatefeedback.org/evaluation/wall-street-journal-a...
That's pretty much it. There's a certain category of people with a certain attitude towards debugging. You have to be able to break it down into steps - sometimes from "first principles". Then work up and identify where the issue is and how to resolve it. Sometimes it requires looking at logs and simulating production conditions and other times you may have to understand low level network stack.

I still remember the time trying to reproduce and fix a certain issue. We had a 3-node cluster mysql database setup with one main and two replicas. The replicas are read-only. If one replica goes down, reads shouldn't be affected at all. We had an application layer on top of this to coordinate and enforce these requirements. Every which way you look at the code, there's no reason why this shouldn't work. And yet, when one node went down in production under a very particular circumstance with the network, it took down the entire cluster - not that the cluster was not reachable - it wouldn't allow reads and just hang.

Tracing it took me down the hole of understanding the precise network issue (fading memory - I think the machine wasn't responding back and tcp kept retrying) + linux tcp setting (I think tcp_delack_min) + a java networking setting + how thread safety was setup in the application (do not use synchronized at the method level). It took a week to diagnose.

Recently, there was a minor issue with adapting a sample Spark UDF to work with our setup and it took the developers 3 weeks and they kept giving up after every try.

I have found that the introduction of using remote tools (Teams etc) regardless of in/out of office location has dramatically improved collaboration.

People seem to be a lot more open to sharing ideas. We tend to chat back and forward all day. If you really need to, kill notifications and mark yourself as busy or focusing and review the chat when you are available.

The only down side I've found is that workgroup chats, being somewhat private, can tend to become a bit of an echo chamber if there is any dispute or controversy in the workplace. Dealing with this tend has required everybody to step back and examine their behaviour. I would assume that if you had a team in a different location you could have a similar problem.

Wired reported on the EFF suing AT&T over NSA wiretapping telecom traffic in bulk in 2006. And there were other assorted news reports on Trailblazer, the "Total Information Awareness program", etc. from that time.

So maybe not in the widespread public awareness, but if you were Googling trying to answer the question, "Is the USA gov't eavesdropping on all communication traffic?" in 2013 pre-Snowden, then the reasonable conclusion would've been, "Yes".

Forget the article; the Fed is currently targeting a rate of 0.00-0.25 as far as I'm aware. That's the same as 2008, which was the lowest target ever.

>As of 30 October 2019 the target range for the Federal Funds Rate is 1.50–1.75%.[10] This reduction represented the third of the current sequence of rate decreases: the first occurred in July 2019. As of March 15, 2020 the target range for Federal Funds Rate is 0.00–0.25%,[11] a full percentage point drop less than two weeks after being lowered to 1.00–1.25%.[12]

>The last full cycle of rate increases occurred between June 2004 and June 2006 as rates steadily rose from 1.00% to 5.25%. The target rate remained at 5.25% for over a year, until the Federal Reserve began lowering rates in September 2007. The last cycle of easing monetary policy through the rate was conducted from September 2007 to December 2008 as the target rate fell from 5.25% to a range of 0.00–0.25%. Between December 2008 and December 2015 the target rate remained at 0.00–0.25%, the lowest rate in the Federal Reserve's history, as a reaction to the Financial crisis of 2007–2008 and its aftermath

> There is an argument that can be made (whether good or not, not sure) that politicians represent the interest of people including whether they want Toyota to flourish or not, and represent the employee of Toyota, etc.

We supposedly live in a democracy, where the people are supposed to be in charge, not abstract constructs like companies, unions, or trade associations. People vote, not companies. People should be funding political campaigns, not companies.

Why should a CEO or small group of people get to decide how to deploy enormous resources to influence politician's so that they do things that run counter to the public good, just so they can make more money? This is what corporations are legally obligated to do, right? Make more money.

> Better is ban government from directing market competition. Why is the gov telling people and companies what to make when? People should do that by their choices. Tesla is a good example of something good is happening by the market. It motivated other companies to innovate in the space.

Your comment above seems to imply that people should accept that they fund companies through their purchases and these companies will then fund politicians? That seems contrary to the spirit of the constitution.

Or maybe I'm not following the connection you're making between campaign financing and market competition. To my way of thinking the government should be run by the people, and if the people want market competition among companies then that should be the rule. People should be deciding this, not politicians who feel they are dependent on corporate campaign donations for their ego boosting careers.

It seems like such a flaw in our system. I looked at a handful of other civilized countries and I haven't found one yet that allows this stuff like in the U.S. Time and time again in the news I see companies having their way with our government.

> One thing you want to prevent is people learning to remind you earlier. The way to accomplish it is being very nice when they come late. If people feel punished for reminding too late, they'll come earlier next time, and in a vengeful mood, so with more needless tasks. But if they're late and you eagerly "try to do the best under the circumstances", not only do you put yourself under the spotlight as a patriotic hero, you move the forgetful culprit out of the spotlight. So they'll form a rosy memory of the incident, and not learn the value of coming earlier – precisely what we want.

This speaks to another effective career strategy, which is to focus on making the people you interact with feel good - about you, the situation, the company you work for, and especially about themselves. This is particularly important with first impressions and for people with whom you don't work very often.

> The biggest contributing factor to make food not stick is to properly preheat the pan and not be afraid of oil/butter.

Yep, even a standard stainless steel pan will not stick to much if you get it up to temp beforehand and use some fat.
I'm a senior dev I say this only because I have to.

The problem with encouraging developers to speak up when they're stuck is that the developer that is stuck isn't really ever sure if it is something they really should know about the library, framework, or language or if it really is something hard. In some sense senior developers have a real leg up here because they know that they're capable of building systems for large companies.

I've seen many junior developers fired because "they require too much hand holding" and I don't think the advice should be "speak up" but rather "make at least one friend as soon as you possibly can that you can privately ask questions to so you don't look like an idiot" and I know this advice is better for the individual than the company, but it's the reality. The selection function for new, junior employees is "can they get the things done with minimal hand holding" not "do they ask questions" and I'm not ok with that, but it is the reality and we shouldn't push juniors into situations that would get them fired before they're up to speed.

The fact that we have NATting is why you still have ipv4 addresses at all. Just look at the other thread about ipv6 that's going on in HN right now. Even if a small percent of a population doesn't have an IPv6 address means that no company can use it exclusively yet.
I have different attitudes around things perceived as easy or hard. Things that are considered by many to be easy I pay extra attention to looking for details that may show it's not really easy to do properly.

Hard things I think and rethink to see if there's an easy approach or conceptualization that does less or something different achieving the same end goal.

As others have said, I also gravitate toward the hard stuff because it's more interesting. And if there's a complicated way of automating or otherwise have the machine do the work instead of myself, even if it takes longer and may only do once is still a good learning/hacking opportunity. Sometimes cool stuff comes out, like a partial Swift -> Java, or Java to C++ translator because I don't want to rewrite a suite of tests.

There is a bright side to this - you're also rather important to the company. You're in effect the 1 in "bus factor 1" of several key activities that nobody else wants to do and nobody else is really qualified to do. This should allow you to put your foot down more often, refuse overtime, demand recognition for contributing to prototypes and to be given more interesting work. Your managers may not care for you, but they care for the company (unless it's one of those cash burning shops, but that's an entirely different problem). After long enough, they should even come around to the idea of hiring a junior dev under your supervision and training to take care of the more lower-level tasks.

> I wonder if we knew the Neanderthals were a different species.

Whether Neanderthals are a different species in genus Homo (H. neanderthalensis) or a different subspecies of H. sapiens (H. sapiens neanderthalensis) doesn't even seem to be completely a matter of consensus today (similar is true of Denisovans, for instance.)

And, honestly, the more evidence of ongoing, successful, fertile interbreeding we find, the less strong the “separate species” argument is, though its ultimately unresolvable because there's not a clearcut objective definition of what constitutes a “species”.

I tried that, multiple very thin coats, and it all flaked off down to bare metal. Flaxseed is too hard. Regular old canola oil works great. I make scrambled eggs in mine when we go camping. I got a nice, food-grade flaxseed oil.

The other myth is that the pebbly surface is non-stick. I used to work at a casting plant, that's the natural finish from sandcasting. That doesn't mean it's functional. Sanding down the casting surface to a smooth working surface takes less than an hour and lasts a lifetime.
Thick aluminum can be amazing though, I have a nonstick pan with a near half inch thick aluminum disc base and it's a fantastic pan. It heats up up to medium and higher heat in about the time it takes me to turn on the range and get ingredients out of the refrigerator.
Such a system would mostly add ceremony, complexity and meta without obvious benefit to conversation interestingness. I think the other thing is a more fruitful line of inquiry - how come nobody wants notes on upvotes? The answer, I think, is getting downvoted feels bad and people naturally want more friction, 'accountability', etc when something makes them feel bad. However natural, though, this isn't a great way to design forum systems - it's more elabourate rationalization than design. The question of whether a particular forum's negative feedback system is too punishing, imbalanced, makes users feel too bad too easily or too soon is a perfectly sensible one and worth exploring, of course.
Psychopathy isn't a medical diagnosis but it generally refers to antisocial personality disorder, which doesn't include psychosis in its diagnosis criteria.
An obvious counterpoint is that the conspiracy was exposed, by Snowden.

I think the lesson here is that a "conspiracy" can exist as long as all of its participants believe they are morally in the right. The people involved in the NSA dragnet believed in the cause; when a non-believer (Snowden) got involved, the gig was up.

It's easy to believe that a government agency would overstep its bounds to spy on people it (according to complex laws that well-meaning people misunderstand or disagree with) shouldn't. It's much, much less credible that a large number of US government employees conspired to, say, bomb the world trade center. A conspiracy like that would quickly enlist someone with moral qualms about it, and it just takes one to blow the whistle.

> Everyone still needs an IPv4 to the outside world for compatibility...

Is this really true/correct?

Assuming that an ISP would implement a pure IPv6-network for its customers, wouldn't their customers by typing on their PCs e.g. "ping 1.2.3.4" in their terminals be routed automatically through "[internal IPv4 network between customer and ISP] => [ISP's public IPv6 address in Internet being translated to their SINGLE allocated IPv4-address] => [target's IPv4 address]", and then back (to get the ping-reply)? So, some kind of "magic" IPv4[internal customer]=>IPv4[internal ISP] => IPv6[external ISP]=>IPv4[external ISP] => IPv4[target], using NAT or however it's called?

I'm absolutely not good in relation with networking, especially not IPv6 (in theory simple, that was at least the tone of the articles that I read a few years ago, but at that time it has been quite difficult for me to set it up on my root servers), so what I just wrote might be plain wrong :P
There's nothing reasonable about these regulations. If we want people to use less electricity then raise taxes on electricity and the free market will sort it out. Power is fungible.
I've written pretty extensively in various cooking groups about caring for and maintaining cast iron. This article is pretty much true, but I take issue to some degree with their preference for "a little soap".

The author is absolutely right that most folklore about cast iron is grade A BS. Soap is one of those things. The thing most people seem to have missed is that dish soaps in the current era are significantly different from dish soaps even 30-40 years ago, much less at the turn of the century when most of the folklore of cast iron started being passed down from our great-great grandparents to their children.

You cannot damage the seasoning of a cast iron skillet using any amount of modern dish soap (Dawn, Palmolive, or similar) and a sponge designed for non-stick cookware (blue scotch sponge, not the green scratch pads). It simply cannot happen, because modern soaps are not caustic like lye-based soaps of the past, they are primarily synthetic surfactants and various alcohol-type solvents. Dawn and most dish soaps are specifically formulated to have a PH between 7-8, as a neutral cleaner.

Use as much soap and elbow grease as you need to make your pan clean. The most important thing to do is to ensure it's /really/ dry after you finish washing the pan, which can be done easily just by putting it back on a burner on low for 15-20 minutes while you do other things and then just turn the burner off. Water is the enemy of iron, because it causes rust. The seasoning helps prevent rust by creating a barrier against water, but if you soak a cast iron pan or fail to dry it sufficiently it can and will rust. Rust is what you're trying to avoid for surfaces other than the cooking surface. For the cooking surface, seasoning also builds to create a natural non-stick surface.

Cleaning shouldn't require much effort. For most cases, it's sufficient to pour some sea salt on the pan, scrub with a paper towel, heat the pan until it's quite hot, and then steam it with hot water from the tap, wiping dry (and removing the salt). Nonetheless, using modern dish soap is not going to hurt your cast iron in any way.
