If you have embarrassingly parallel loads, sure.

But:

CPU Single Thread Rating
Apple M1 - 3,778
AMD 5700U - 2,636

suggests that "is faster" is going to depend on your perspective. Most loads I care about are single threaded.

The 5700U is 8% faster on a synthetic multi-core benchmark vs. 30% slower on a single core benchmark. I know which CPU I'd choose if I had a choice.
Probably, but hill climbing will avoid loss in the long run. The speed boost is probably more than worth it.

I wouldn't be surprised if we started using lossier math for faster state space search. Once you find a peak, you could swap out the maths to be more exact.

I think in general you'll just see a lot of those restaurants and businesses that provide services to office employees move to where they can provide services to remote employees. Service industry businesses generally follow people and if people aren't going downtown everyday and instead hanging around the suburbs, then you'll likely see more starbucks etc in the suburbs serving that crowd.
And not all freedoms are equal. My freedom to drive on the wrong side of the road is lesser than your freedom to drive safely, so we restrict the former over the latter. Australians have chosen the freedom to live free of the virus over some temporary freedom of movement.

In Auckland (NZ) we are in probably some of the strictest lockdown conditions in the world, with schools and non-essential business closed, travel only permitted for exercise in a local area or visit to the supermarket, and mandatory isolation and testing for close contacts. Lockdowns are still viable here because we have been so vigilant and basically everyone understands the shared responsibility. That's how we earn that freedom.
The police can't stop homeless people from living there. All they can do is force them to constantly move around the city and take their stuff away. If you dislike homeless people screaming at you because they're in a constant state of mental breakdown, this isn't the right way to solve it.

Also, get out of here with "destruction of this city". The city hasn't changed since I moved to it, and the locals I know say that in comparison to the past, the city is cleaner, and less violent than it ever has been. The crime stats in just the 10 years I've lived here have also dropped considerably.

Maybe the issue here is that you're a coward?

a bit tangental :) recently I was wearing headphones for a zoom meeting, when someone in the same apartment asked me if I could turn down the volume, since it was so loud they could hear everyone on the meeting even with my headset on.

I had not realized how loud I was turning the system volume up in meetings, and after being conscious to it and joining at half volume, I noticed my stress during meetings and around calls in general has gone down a lot.

Go values stability. But time passes and big changes do happen. Go modules. Generics.

I wonder how many of the same arguments were made about Java back in the day. Java got generics at around 8 years after its 1.0 release in 1996. Go's getting them 9 years after its 1.0 release in 2012.

We should probably compare apples-to-apples. C++ has been around for 35+ years. Java has been around for 25 years since its 1.0 in 1996. Python for 26 years. C# for 20 years.

I wonder what people will think of Go in 10-20 years when its age matches more established ecosystems. Will devs be complaining about dealing with pre-generics code then?

This is a misrepresentation.

His critique of the presentation is warranted, and he also clearly addresses the content, for example he presents a detailed and informative critique of the show’s poor understanding of Brandenburg vs Ohio.

This law is not about another app store but about other payment methods.
You still have only the AppStore on iOS.
To put this another way:

I have an Electron-based chat client that consumes 265 MB of disk when installed, plus about 180 MB of data, most of which looks like it comes from Electron rather than chat-related stuff.

A native client for the same chat service consumes about 10 MB installed, plus about 15 MB of data.

That's a 10x-25x explosion in SSD wear with every app update, which happens frequently. There is also an explosion in ongoing wear every minute that I leave it running. I haven't measured the latter, but judging by how often Electron writes cache and web session data, it is surely significant.

Electron is incredibly wasteful. If a web interface is absolutely necessary, please just serve it on localhost and let me use my existing browser.
I do not think Australia will dissolve into a civil war supported by external proxys (like it is in Syria).

Instead, I think it will turn into East Germany with the Stasi.

It will be a society of informants...

>" ....If someone looked like he might challenge the Communist Party’s legitimacy or control, the Stasi systematically destroyed his life. They used blackmail, social shame, threats, and torture. Careers, reputations, relationships, and lives were exploded to destabilize and delegitimize a critic. Some forms of harassment were almost comical: agents spread rumors about their targets, flooded their mailboxes with pornography, moved things around in their apartments, or deflated their bicycle tires day after day. Others were life-altering: Individuals labeled as subversives were banned from higher education, forced into unemployment, and forcibly committed to asylums. Many suffered long-term psychological trauma, loss of earnings, and intense social shame as a result of Stasi lies.

> Thinkpads are way cheaper(and AFAIK they also provide very good Linux support)

My own experience with thinkpads has been one of non-stop frustration with battery life. The T495 advertises something like 14h of battery life; the actual battery life I got running stock Ubuntu on it was.... less than 3 hours, and that's with power optimization packages that do things like making USB no longer work installed. I recently switched to a system76, and so far its battery lasts easily 6-9 hours depending on what I'm doing.

In theory, the weaker team can "try" to get the ball out the back as fast as possible but in practice, I see penalties for teams getting steamrolled in the scrum quite often which would suggest that the tactic is not entirely effective.

I don't understand much of what goes on in the scrum, but I love watching the battle for dominance over the course of a game. Are there collapsed scrums frequently? Yes. But it is an aspect of the sport that gives a chance for the heavies to shine. The increasing use of mauls on the other hand...

At least on (2), that's actually one of the nice things about Erlang. It removes a lot of the kinds of things that make concurrency difficult for people. There are no locks on data. There is no shared data. The model is based on message passing with actors. This means that bad designs that don't fit this model make themselves apparent (they introduce complex bookkeeping overhead or are cripplingly slow due to coordination overhead), but good designs (data flow, a process per connection, processes as isolation mechanism for state) become easy in this language and perform very well.

And since processes are so key to Erlang, the green thread mechanism that BEAM provides is very fast and message passing is about the same overhead as a function call (which is to say, not much). This model of concurrency should be teachable to any 3rd year CS major in college (and possibly earlier) without breaking their brains.
You’re right — I’ll do my best to give them opportunities to find friends all over. Then my kids may become those privileged people, and it will be their responsibility in turn to continue that flattening until it’s not needed.

No, it costs $21/user/month.

> Do you really think that businesses are going to jeopardize the workflows of their $250k/year assets over a very core piece of software for $250/year?

I work for a big enterprise that is currently going through a transition that is simultaneously a cloud transition and a transition to more critically consider tooling with license management overhead (which for a $21/seat license, is probably a significantly larger cost in a big, bureaucratic enterprise than the license cost itself.)

That said, there's a good argument that the things that you get for that $21/seat are things many enterprises will find are still worth the license cost + license management overhead. On the other hand, most of that is stuff that doesn't scale with number of developer seats, so a subscription model that doesn't work on that basis and therefore doesn't impose the kind of license management overhead that per-seat licensing does would probably net Docker more revenue while imposing less total costs on enterprises.
Yes, offer was the wrong word.

Rugby turned pro in 1995. So the "amateur era" is likely referring to players pre-1995. While not strictly "pro", they were not your typical rec league players. They were doing international tournaments and playing for national teams, etc...

From what I have read, the evidence really points to duration of exposure as the key risk factor. So for someone who plays at the amateur club level, typically practicing 1-2 times a week, the risk might be fairly low. They are probably racking up a fraction of the exposure that a professional would experience in a given year.
Detecting a bug, crashing, and then restarting, can be much easier to write than code which is bug-free. In fact, some times, you need so much code that it is likely you are introducing more bugs by trying to handle an edge-case.

A key point of Erlang systems, however, is that they are really good at reporting the state of the system when it crashes (due to functional programming, you have the state from before the crash happened, and what event lead to the crash).

The restart is a stop-gap measure that gives you service for the system as a whole. You can then look at the logged bug report and fix the problem. But you are in control of how quickly you want to fix the problem. There is a cost to fixing a bug as well.
Agree. I have subsidized places where I worked due to this. Bosses often say - oh don't pay yourself but then when you put in the request for something months will go by waiting for that certain manager to say yes or no. Face to face or on the phone it's easy to get a 'yes but first send me the proposal/information', only then to get ignored. Yeah you can keep pushing and finally get the item you need months later, but by then the project is over cause you or someone else hacked together or found a free solution... or worse used a personal credit card.

Both instances are still zero accidents from a nuclear perspective.

Both sites have been visited every few years since they were located to check on the reactors. The design on both is working as intended, and no radioactive material has been detected to be leaking from either wreck. US naval nuclear reactors are (supposedly) designed such that they shouldn't lose containment if the vessel either sinks from an accident or is destroyed by enemy activity.
I hate to break it to you, but the police don't do this anywhere. When I lived in New Orleans my apartment was robbed and when the police came, I asked when they'd followup and the officer literally laughed at me.

With the exception of select violent crimes, the police don't investigate crimes. For those select violent crimes, the percentage they solve is extremely low.

Also, please don't confuse home invasion for burglary. I know this is some weird propaganda point for you Chesa recallers, but there's a massive difference between the two, and the former the courts do care about. I think they should take burglary more seriously, but even if the courts did, the police still wouldn't.

> you need to get from where you are to where the laptop is, and back, without popping up on any sensors.

Why? As far as They can tell, you're going to a house you've never been to before with no precedent for why, picking up an unlabelled brown box, and returning home.

The NSA would know you did that — but they wouldn't be able to connect it to a laptop in order to intercept/MITM it into being an insecure device (or to note down its MAC address for when you go online with it), since the "logistics chain" would be one entirely disconnected from you right until the moment you showed up at the house. To bug the laptop, they'd have to literally rip it out of your hands. Until the moment you pull into that house's driveway to pick up the parcel, they don't know it's your laptop (or what it is at all, really) so they don't know they should be trying to intercept it.

(And yes, They would likely have footage showing some other person dropping the unlabelled brown box off in the house's parking lot — but that would be a person who is not flagged as a Person of Interest in any NSA system, but rather some bright-eyed innocent college kid who had started a "new job" to "earn money fast" by "delivering parcels" just the day before. Parcels they pick up and re-box at AirBnB single-day rentals, rented just for the purpose of receiving that one parcel by the money-launderer.)

Replace "laptop" with "box full of dirty money" and this exact thing is done hundreds of times every day, with the NSA being able to do roughly zilch about it. "Cash mule" wouldn't exist as a profession if the transactions they facilitate could just be deanonymized+disintermediated in real time.

Hey Justin, thanks for taking the time to fuzz the UI a bit. There is definitely improvements we could make.

Crontab.guru essentially applies the same validations that Vixie cron does when you save a job. If you use "crontab -e" it will let you add a job with the schedule 5 4 31 9 *, and it flags the others you mentioned as invalid. For the most part, crontab.guru tries to be true to Vixie cron.

Also, good news on the daylight savings front. As you can imagine with a service like Cronitor we had to learn a lot about this. In most modern versions of Cron, jobs scheduled with a specific time will not be replayed or skipped when the clock moves for DST. You can see the logic here:

My town already had one Starbucks before the pandemic and still has one Starbucks after the pandemic -- moving people to work from home doesn't change the economics of running a service business like a coffee shop or restaurant. My office building had 25 floors, and probably over 1000 people worked there. That's a lot of foot traffic, probably more than my small downtown sees in a day.

When I work from home I just make coffee or lunch at home - I don't drive down to the strip mall for lunch. But when I go to the office, I eat lunch out with coworkers, and my bus drops me off right in front of the Starbucks so it's easy to stop in for coffee.

I doubt that the employees that the lost jobs from the businesses that served offices were all just displaced to the suburbs, but if you have a reference for that, I'd like to see it.
