As someone who does manufacturing automation for a living, I don't think this person has any experience in a manufacturing environment.

Coding is really not a limiting factor in manufacturing automation. For decades everything has been built around being controlled by first relay logic and then PLCs, which implement multiple languages like ladder-logic which are basically already drag and drop. Most sensors are simple - generally they provide a boolean on/off signal, and occasionally there's an analogue output which is pretty easy to interpret. Physically placing and wiring the sensors correctly is the hard bit, not interpreting the data. There are more advanced systems, like computer vision, but they all already have user interfaces which allow you to interact with them without coding. In fact it's actually a real pain in the ass that in most cases there is no coding option, and thus everything has its own proprietary and arcane method of operation and its unreasonably difficult to get things to talk to each other.

Further, generally coding skill is not particularly lacking. Assembly-like languages such as G-Code are widely used by machines and many tradesmen know enough to hand edit at least simple programs, and the engineers on staff are generally comfortable with more advanced programming. While they're a far cry from software developers, but it's sufficient for the relatively simple cases that a no-code solution might be suitable for.

The main issue for automation in manufacturing is not versatility but reliability. A few hours of downtime can cost tens of thousands of dollars, and a machine crash might easily cost 8 figures, to say nothing of the potential for injury or even death. Whatever difficulty there is in coding for manufacturing environments is in structuring these programs such that they are consistently accurate and fail safe. Personally, I don't find anything that makes it easier for someone to tell a machine to do something stupid particularly appealing.
> In every category imaginable, the NT kernel is better designed. Async IO, better power management, pageable kernel memory, stable driver API.

I can't comment on most of these things since I don't know much coding about them, but I will definitely grant you the stable driver API. Drivers are a huge pain in the ass in Linux, and until DKMS it was pretty common for upgrading my kernel to break my wifi card, which was really annoying.

> I get that Linux is popular, but no objective evaluation would claim that Linux kernel is better in any metric other than "how open source is it?"

I mean, that's a pretty big feature. Didn't Linux get multicore support well before Windows almost entirely because Linux was open source and popular on servers? When something is open source, companies (or people) don't have to wait for a specific monolithic company to decide that a certain feature is worthy.

> synchronous by default IO, really??

I will totally admit a lot of ignorance as I don't work in kernel spaces, but hasn't Linux had Async IO in the form of `epoll` for like 20 years? It's not the default but I feel like it's pretty commonly used.

-----

Of the things I do like about Linux (outside of open source), it follows the "everything's a file" mantra from Unix. It makes it fairly fun and easy to arbitrarily glue applications together (admittedly at the cost of performance sometimes).

Also, I like that you can choose different filesystems more or less arbitrarily. I don't have a Linux laptop anymore (I run macOS), but I when I did I was running ZFS on root with Ubuntu, and ZFS is pretty awesome. As far as I'm aware, with Windows you're basically stuck with NTFS.
> Like it or not 2019 was the best year that the working class and low income have had in the US for a very long time. Real wage growth was record high, unemployment was record low. It was an incredible time (if you don’t see this: please try to diversify your fried groups. The people in the country who usually get forgotten about we’re happy and hopeful in a way they haven’t been in a long time).

You responded to me, but I 100% agree with you!

I remember in Marin county, my gym had hired a guy with down syndrome because they didn't have enough employees -- unemployment was so low. My local safeway had resorted to hiring extremely disabled people to help with checkout. There was at least one paralyzed lady doing checkout and a guy without hands as well. For those individuals, such an opportunity would be very difficult to come by (I know ADA exists.. but let's be honest).

> So why are the news people lying? Because they want people to forget that, and they really need to be right about their idea that electing an elderly, senile, corrupt, career politician is the solution. So they just lie about it.

Absolutely. If we saw sustained real wage growth the way we were beginning to see with Trump, people wouldn't have to rely on debt to finance their lives, which would mean a reduction of asset opportunities for the upper class. They couldn't stand that.
If governments want to do that then it's their choice. They could also make a website, use tv, use twitter, etc
You can pass the output of the model to the profiling system to monitor if things are drifting.

It's also possible to monitor the input data and link back.

There's quite a few ways to do this, but effectively you can monitor drift by identifying which inputs have the greatest impact in accuracy. Then tying that back to predict the drift over time.
Hey, that's my app. Thanks for the post!
Sure, but I would argue that 1,000 registered voters is going to make that a lot harder, not to mention it's actually "1000 registered voters who self selected to go through a 20 minute poll about facebook," which is why they said "no estimates of sampling error can be calculated."

Fun fact: early awk did not. The Lisp interpreter in awk which I linked in another comment was from those days and worked entirely as a big nested loop, using no functions besides the built-ins.
They ain't losing their young, liberal staff as long as working there for 10 years means being able to retire at 50. The opportunity is too great and the money is too good.
They failed because their roadmap did not include a workable route to the equality they wanted. Their roadmap led that their system of governance.

Why did their roadmap lead there? Essentially, because it was against human nature. It turns out that "work for the good of all mankind" doesn't motivate as well as "work for the good of yourself and your family". They had to add "work for the good of all mankind, or be punished" in order for the system to work at all.

Now, the really interesting question: Will any system that has an agenda of economic equality end in the same place? Can any system have that as a goal, and produce a system of governance that isn't (approximately) equivalent to the USSR version? I suspect that the answer is no. If your humans have the same human nature as the humans of the USSR, then you wind up running into the same problems that the USSR ran into. If your system doesn't account for human short-sightedness, selfishness, greed, and laziness, it isn't going to work in the real world.
This is such a bizarre response. You recognize there's a problem with cancelling subscriptions and instead of to the government to regulate the markets (which is their job) and mandate easy cancelling of subscriptions, you want Apple to do it? Do you want a government run by a corporation?
I agree with you... that's why I said that my friend. I understand completely that they were lying against Trump. I'm trying to get others to see that. They cover for the democrats (fiery but mostly peaceful protests... lol, what are people smoking these days)...
Patentability has nothing to do with complexity. It's about novelty.

If the wheel were invented today, it absolutely would be patented. And for 20 years or whatever, the genius that solved that particular problem would reap well-deserved rewards for such a clever solution.

As far as this invention is concerned, I don't know enough about bicycling to know if this is something that's been considered and discarded before, or if literally nobody else has thought of it.

Either way, I think that makes it patentable. Either everyone else decided it wasn't worth it—and therefore nothing of value is being locked away by this patent—or they couldn't figure it out and therefore this is a novel invention for which the inventors should be rewarded for their R&D time.
Platform looks cool.

I created a course platform Primerlabs (https://primerlabs.io), where learners can generate Personalized Notebooks at the completion of the course. I used the Tufte-Latex template for that purpose. You can checkout my Personalized Python-I course book here: https://book.primerlabs.io/P2i3yuzb8

The goal is that, at the end of the course, people can actually buy their personalized at hands, with the click of a button.

There's probably many areas where Linux comes strongly ahead - a much wider array of supported architectures, and even on the windows supported ones Linux scales much better by the virtue of being deployed from the smallest embedded computers to (all of) the largest supercomputers.
The key is to only drink it during a meal, and not outside of meals perhaps then.

The amount and kinds of artificial sweeteners in each drink could well be reduced and varied by manufacturers, but time and time again they choose not to, but if you look at the alternatives of water every time or drinks that are also very high in sugar on the inverse, diet drinks are a blessing for many people.

> The biking community should really be trying to remove all the barriers and not just saying it will get better when every road has a bike lane, because it won't.

I think it's easy to confuse the cycling community fighting for bike lanes with them believing it's the optimal solution. The truth is, it's hard enough to get this bare minimum that it becomes the thing we fight over most often. But of course, the dream is separate bike infrastructure.

> Each town and city has a different standard for hand signals (which I think refutes the claim that drivers would be completely unable to recognize or understand a turn signal on a bike) and the laws are different everywhere around things like lights and bells.

I think you may be overthinking this part? Hand signals couldn't be more simple, and I can't imagine them changing much between cities. If you don't like letting go of the bars in traffic, that's another issue, and I agree turn signals could be helpful. Lights and bells ... I'd just get a bike with a bell and a dynamo light system from the factory. I can't imagine ending up on the wrong side of the law that way.

Your overall experience is super interesting to me, just want to say that, as someone deeply interested in cycling and the barriers to adoption.

I don't get NASA's reasoning. When the bolt is fully tightened, a helical washer is equivalent to a regular one. But if it's even the tiniest bit out, the spring comes into play.

Some people are very self-conscious. As a doctor, he recognizes the amount of change is minuscule, the effort expended to point it out is barely worth it, the clerk may have done unintentionally, because schools suck and this is the best the market could get at the wage they are willing to offer.. all sorts of reasons not make a big deal.

But.. deep down, internal scales are off. Because it is not about the money. It is about balance. it is about principles. It is about getting what I am god damn paying for, which includes courtesy of getting the right change.

It is insignificant in the long run, but it isn't completely without merit.

Measuring skill in programming is much harder than measuring skill in chess. ELO is imperfect but you can be reasonably sure a 2100 will beat a 1200 most of the time. With programming, it's difficult to even make a choice between the person who write a sudoku solver in an afternoon or the person who makes a sturdy website which is secure against all known CVEs (but can't make a sudoku solver, or invert the proverbial binary tree on a whiteboard).

Mac OSX Server wasn't very popular. I'm guessing since Dell made very respectable servers in the 90's this was an effort to put a kind of NeXT server on Dell hardware, or at least an early version of Mac OSX Server.
you can play "sound" chess using general rules and get to about master level on lichess :

* trade a piece (bishop for knight and vice versa) when it's being less effective than the opponent's piece
* block opponents bishops
* block opponents pawns
* don't give opponent's knights a perch (supported by a pawn) on your side of the board, especially near the middle
* try to promote edge pawns to the middle or clear the path out of the way of your pawns

..there are many other rules, but you can apply these much more quickly (esp in speed chess) thinking "statistically" to improve your position. The end game is where it gets hard for humans and you actually have to think, especially if there are knights still jumping around, rooks and bishops are easier to visualize and block.

No, they can't work at Facebook because they aren't as talented as they think they are. Part of the libertarian / conservative delusion is that the "system" is working against them because of what they believe, and that it can't possibly be because they aren't making the cut due to talent. Profit-oriented, billion dollar companies are not discriminating against talent unless they have serious personality issues.
I agree that there's way too much unnecessary vitrol over FB on these forums, but let's not pretend like FB is some "new, scrappy disruptor" of legacy media institutions engaging in a "coordinated attack". Facebook has just become the _new_ media power and legacy media is trying to reassert itself. I didn't enjoy the stranglehold of legacy media on information flow before and I don't enjoy the strangle of Facebook now. Just because Facebook is better than legacy media (which I'm guessing many will second guess here) doesn't mean it's a _good_ alternative.

It admittedly depends on a rather broad definition of a tax increase. The future gains from those contributions invested today are not subject to taxes due to them being in a Roth account, but with this legislation, one would need to make those gains outside of a Roth, and thus those gains would be subject to taxes.

There are two benefits to showing a higher income on paper:

1) Some situations like mortgage applications and child adoption will require some sort of income verification. It's a lot harder when you aren't showing as much top-line income.

2) If the project goes south and the author has to find another job, showing a "market rate" salary is better than the true rate (sadly many people and companies still talk in terms of percentage increases)

thousands of people "relationships." It's something,
but I'm not sure what, it seems like we may not have a
good word for "casual strangers,"

Well, strictly speaking... it's a relationship, just a very casual kind. They are not intrinsically bad.

The healthiness of it can vary widely. It's a very individual thing.

The relevant questions to ask one's self would include: overall, is this bringing me happiness? Are my "casual relationships" on FB causing me anxiety -- either directly, or because of more subtle FOMO, etc? Are they taking time away from other things that would make my life better, such as more meaningful relationships?

There is a happy path there. I genuinely like seeing that so-and-so from high school just had a baby, or whatever. "We sat through so many classes together," I think. "She was always cool to me. Good for her, she seems happy. Cute baby!" I might never really be close to her again, but I do like seeing that she's doing well.

I seem to be in the minority though. Maybe FB is like cocaine. Seems like some people manage to use it occasionally without damaging their bodies or lives. But the vast majority of people are worse off for it.
Seems like an addiction you have through mental/memory association or routine that has been created over time for you. If "Diet Coke" is still bearable for you, or even if not, try switching to that to disconnect the addiction within your brain, then perhaps it may be easier to quit. I am not a psychiatrist though, just a suggestion.
> Have you looked into something like DirectStorage to allow the nic to request data directly over PCIe, thus cutting out memory bandwidth limitations entirely? This is what new generation consoles are using to load static scene data from NVMe drives to GPUs directly over PCIe, your workload also seems to match this model well.

Lets say an Ethernet Port on NUMA#1 is asking for a movie found on a NVMe SSD on NUMA#3.

There's simply no way for you to get the data unless you traverse the NUMA-fabric somehow. Either NUMA#1 tells NUMA#3 "Yo, start sending me data so that I can reply to this TCP/TLS/HTTP message"... or NUMA#1 offloads the job to NUMA#3 somehow (Its now NUMA#3's problem to figure out how to talk back).

----------

There are many ways to implement the system, each with apparently their own pros and cons. There are further issues: in an earlier post a few weeks ago, drewg123 explained that his system / bosses demanded that each server was only allowed to have 1 IP Address (meaning all 4 NICs had to cooperate using link-aggregation).

You can effectively think of this as "each Netflix stream comes in on one of the 4-random ports" (which may be on NUMA#1 or NUMA#2). While each bit of data is scattered across NUMA#1, #2, #3, and #4.

---------

Note: NUMA#1 and NUMA#2 have the NICs, which means that they have fewer remaining PCIe lanes for storage (The ConnectX NIC uses multiple PCIe lanes). As a result, most of the movie's data will be on NUMA#3 or NUMA#4.

-------

Note: I expect the NUMA-fabric to be faster than PCIe fabric. NUMA-fabric is designed so that different chips can pretend each other's RAM at roughly 50+GBps bandwidth at something like 300ns latencies. In contrast, PCIe 4.0 x16 is only 30GBps or so... and a lot of these NVMe SSDs are only 4x lanes (aka: 8GBps).

You also need to handle all the networking tidbits: HTTPS has state (not just the TLS state, but also the state of the stream: who's turn is it to talk and such). Which means the CPU / Application data needs to be in the loop somehow. I know that the most recent talk offloads the process as much as possible thanks to the "sendfile" interface on FreeBSD (also available on Linux), which allows you to "pipe" data from one file-descriptor to another.
