Ted Dzuba Monitoring theory covers unbounded queues pretty well: http://widgetsandshit.com/teddziuba/2011/03/monitoring-theor...
DDR5 prices would disagree with you.

Plus, most laptop manufacturers rip you off for every RAM spec bump. $400 - $500 to go from 16GB to 32GB?! They can f--k right off!

Not everyone is making six figure SV salaries to not flinch at these prices. That's why I love the framework laptop.
The valuation is surprisingly low given the brand, FireEye bought it for 4.5B back in the day. I would expect a higher sales price.
Vague: I think you're going to need at least one example.

That's indeed the number 1 suspect! All that reused oil everyone is ingurgitating at least once a week XD
I am assuming it grind to a halt because it is CPU bound and not Memory bound? In that case the premises of CPU optimisations are not important would be, inaccurate?

In reality it is complicated when we have extra CPU cycle to burn developers tends to put fancy new things. Which is basically what andy giveth bill taketh away.
Let's bring war for territory back, baby! Just gotta hold it for 20-30 years.
The goal of adding solar isn’t to use less electricity or less energy per person. Solar electricity is cheap and stable because it doesn’t have a volatile, margin-sensitive commodity as an input (as opposed to oil, ng, coal). Specifically, what is cheaper is midday units of electricity which have a direct impact on commercial and industrial uses (i.e. the largest uses). When you make something cheaper people use MORE of it. This is a good thing since, normalizing for efficiency, more energy use equals a higher quality of life.

The idea that renewables are associated with sacrifice should go away. Instead, in a number of realistic cases renewables reduce the cost/impact of living a better life.

I am setting aside the war component about which I am sympathetic (people should be cognizant of near term resource limits when they are in/adjacent to war).
You've made me reconsider my position and I think you're actually right.
Young earth creationists believe that dinosaurs coexisted with people? I thought they believed that dinosaurs never were alive and bones were tricks of the devil.
Wow! That's inspiring, though (perhaps inevitably) some of those arrays hanging off of buildings look a little clunky. Thanks for sharing :)

Guys I am a ukrainian refugee and I need a job.
I have 11 years of experience - mostly Go, Kubernetes, Java with some Solidity/Blockchain.
I am currently safe. In Prague. But we've lost everything we had including employment and I need to support my family.
Open for relocation to Canada or remote work. Short term gigs are ok as well.

Thank you.
I think utility scale PV is more using single axis tracking, not dual axis.
I keep hoping Swift Package Manager will fill this void.
Possible acqui-hire - perhaps it's not the product they're after...
I still think it's pollution. There are many other countries with low levels of D which are ranking much better than Belgium https://www.wcrf.org/dietandcancer/global-cancer-data-by-cou...
But most allocators will not actually take advantage of that, so it’s a pretty dubious argument.
It does fail on discoverability but there is a great feature of MacOS to compensate. The help->search function (shortcut key: Command-shift-/). I wish it was more prominent, like the quake console[1] or autocad command bar[2].

[1]Come to think of it, I used to have iTerm set up for this, I really must reconfigure it.

It's the framework I'm most familiar with. As it was intended to be a personal project I just chose it because it was the easiest way for me to build it.
> The sad truth is, it's practically unfeasible to have pure renewables.

It's more feasible than nuclear.
What if I told you that there's plenty of stuff that tends to go away if you stop believing in it, and is also very much part of the complex network of cause-and-effect relations we like to call "reality".

I haven't heard an official statement about Kaliningrad either, but I am acquainted with a few MEPs and their assistants, and there is some excited backroom talk about it.

The Kaliningrad exclave is a huge territorial and security headache for the EU.
I feel like this is an informal announcement that the product has been killed. Where would it live in the GCP portfolio?

As an engineer I would be stoked. The resources that Google can bring in terms of data, compute and depth of analytical skills would be very appealing. It’s probably going to be a disaster for the product folks but i think the engineers will be happy. At least for a little bit.
Thanks, didn't notice I had showdead off.

In other words, it will work pretty much like it does now --- except transactions won't necessarily need to run through 3rd party gatekeepers (banks/Visa/Mastercard) and can be P2P instead --- straight from my digital wallet to yours.

Those who argue against digital currency are too late --- most of the economy already runs on digital transactions.
On what basis are you fantasizing about demilitarization of a nuclear state? How would that work? I hate Putin as much as the next person, but nothing will happen to the Russia proper -- they'll start throwing nukes, tactical first, then strategic.

Considering this is HN, you likely simply got a good night's sleep and aren't overly cynical and angsty about the technology landscape today. Cheers to a good day!
How a small nuclear war would transform the entire planet (2020)
The same claim could be made of Russia/Belarus or the Warsaw Pact invasions.

Ultimately the US contributed well over 90% of the combat force in 2003.
My impression is that gas appliances are much more common in Europe. Gas stove, gas heating, gas water heater, washing machine, etc are all very common. Also insulation and windows are usually much higher quality, and the climate is a lot milder than northern America due to the Gulf Stream.
The timing is horrible, ins't it?

I decided to try and leverage my life as a corporate cog and retire as early as I thought I could (age 57), but it is too late with regard to raising my daughters. They've all flown the nest.

I did try the best I could to give them, I think, more than my parent(s) gave me when I was growing up.
I got a CO2 sensor too, cheap but not entry level (about €125). It also does TVOC, PM1.0 and PM2.5.
One reason was I "balloon" sealed an unused chimney (old house) for the winter, that was the main driver of ventilation (and drafts).

If I don't crack a window, me, desk-working in a ~85m³ room pushes the reported CO2 from 400 to nearly 800 ppm by lunchtime, though the device is close to (not on) my desk which probably skews it a bit. I don't have any data to compare though, I might remove the balloon when weather improves next month to see.

There's also a gas hob(!) in the adjacent kitchen, the other VOC/PM readings are elevated for as long as 12 hours (depending on how badly my cooking went :),
even with a hob extractor fan running and permanently open intake vents.

The speed of CO2 increase and persistence of the effects of cooking were both a surprise to me.
Yeah, but I would be more interested in the other two stated causes - environmental and lifestyle factors. These would contribute to a net increase and/or earlier onset.
> they'll have plenty in reserve

That's the big unknown. What part of their reserves is usable? We've already seen they are sending over 40 years old equipment from the Far East a few days ago.
Utter nonsense. Judging by all evidence, renewables will provide more high quality energy (that is, looking at work rather than thermal energy produced, since renewables produce the former directly) more cheaply than nuclear. Even China is emphasizing renewables over nuclear, you know.

Same as it ever was. Remember when lens flares were The Cool New Thing and ridiculously overblown in every game that came out? Or when it was reflections, or shadows, or bloom, or...
What do you think it is about Belgium (a small country but by no means homogenous) that makes it more carcinogous than Italy? In the 40 years that I've lived here I've only know one or two cases of young people getting cancer.

Some stats do seem to confirm your anecdote: Belgium gets 345.8 cases / 100K (6th highest in the world) and Italy 290.6 / 100K (24th highest).
I thought I was aphantasic, but after a coaching session with AphantasiaMeow, I'm sure I'm hypophantasic.

And having none is very different from having a tiny amount - I think if I was motivated I could train to have phantasic abilities.

So not always a genetic cheat sheet - just something we don't talk about or train people in, when we could. I wouldn't be able to swim either if I'd never been trained!
This is a distributed sum. You don't need extra messages being sent around. You send 7 messages giving each node 1/7th of all games. Then 1 message per node is sent with all the tallies to be merged together. And then maybe an extra message to give you the results if you weren't the one that merged it. 15 messages shouldn't take 26 minutes to send.
How do you open a file and print "hello world" these days? It was at least a screen full of code the last time I looked at Java, but that was a while ago.
I think you are putting too many fancy words into the problem.

Queues are balloons. If you put more air in than you are taking out, they grow until they pop. As utilisation grows (ie as the input volume of air starts to match the output) it takes much longer to get rid of the backlog.

This means that any traffic anomalies that would otherwise be hidden by the queue are instantly amplified.
AFAIK, they are resupplied with Stinger ADS only, if you know more, pls tell me.
Yesterday we lost 1 aircraft in Kharkiv, which was bombing on terribly low altitude to preserve precision.
Two days ago we lost one AC in Chernigyv, same situation here.
Oryx reports 11 lost aircrafts during war, there are some listed whose nobody can prove (IMO about a half). Im not telling you that its a fake, but that resource definitely sometimes agrees with official Kyiv information.
and the gas is actually just fart
Dear god, just why?
What is the purpose of cutting off the queue at a n% full? Isn't that effectively saying that the queue size is actually n% of the stated size, or am I missing detail?
Giving money to poor people is what drives inflation of common goods.
If everyone has more money to spend, goods like meat will go up as more people want to buy it. This is simple supply and demand.

Deficit spending does not always produce this because it doesn't always put extra cash in peoples pockets to spend.
I do understand that, but from my experience short coding tests give by far the best signal. We ran an experiment and found that actually not doing a pre interview and straight to code test gave us better results than interview then coding test.

Why? Because people tend to hire people with qualities like themselves, and overlook many things. It also then caused people to overrate/underrate the analysis of coding tests based on the previous interview (as they (dis)liked the person).

This also massively increased the diversity of our team.
The usual con to get to the conclusion you reached is to assume batteries are used to get to 100% renewables. But batteries are terrible for long term storage and rare event backup, so this is just bad engineering. Batteries + hydrogen does much better in most places, especially at high latitude.
I use Foobar2000 with OpenLyrics and it's been great.
Would o(n+m) really be a record? I didn't see any claims on your paper about computation cost, but I have only had time to read it's summary.
Seriously, they're like 10k+ lumens. They make a difference. Granted effectiveness could probably be improved by hanging a whole bunch of lights in the environment.
Take the points in the article one by one.

Which do you think FOX and the GOP haven't used to warp discourse? Not that Dems have avoided doing the same.
I'll make it worse: actually before they start middle school (junior high).

When mine were young, I read to them every night before bed and they seemed to really enjoy it. We worked through, believe it or not, The Lord of the Rings, Uncle Remus stories, the Harry Potter series, The Hobbit, most of the Andrew Lang Fairie books, etc.

But once they got past age 12, school got "real", smart phones landed in their hands and fairyland faded away.
Expunge them of their power, status, and station, and probably purge them of their existence in this realm entirely. Then recreate the system in such a way to defend against such a vulnerability. There is no other way, we just need the will to do it.
Fun fact.

Electricity is less then 20% of the US energy consumption and we are not even close to being able to replace the 80% thats relying on fossil fuels.

Furthermore the claim that solar is the cheapest form of energy is based on a very sloppy calculation.

The proper calculation when it comes to the price of an energy source is looking at it's capacity factor because that will indicate how reliable it is.

You can't use solar for baseload even for the 20% of energy that is electricity let alone the remaining. And if you are building batteries you are going to make solar many times more expensive than anything else.

The best way to think about progress in technology is to look at energy density. The higher the better.

Wind and solar are parasites on the existing energy net and makes every other energy form more expensive because they have to start and stop depending on when the wind blows and the sun shines.

Solar and wind is great for many things, but the idea of it being the baseload for civilisation is not just naive it's anti-rational.
Can confirm that this kind of software is terrible. I've worked in SATCOM for years, we've deployed modems to military that have hardcoded passwords for web UI and SSH that you can google on the internet... Obviously some effort goes into firewalling all that off very carefully, and then often separate VPN over the top (hardware crypto, etc.), but the modems themselves are appalling. The SSH host keys also change when you do a firmware upgrade which makes me think that might be hardcoded and just changed in each version, not generated for each device... I haven't checked though.

Unfortunately that was the modem that the satellite operator required us to use, there was no other option!
Being able to pass tests in advance which then pre-qualifies you for actual, human interviews for companies who choose that particular challenge (in the future, even if they weren't hiring at the time you took the test) would be a great feature.
"expose you to more polluted air" It's actually quite wrong, compared to cars for example https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/dec/13/cyclists...
I've hosted Ossetians (well, my mother did) back in the days. There is actually a huge diaspora in France, and even when they are deeply religious, they do hate Russia with a passion I've never felt with anyone else. So I'm quite disbelieving this kind of statements, maybe my vision is skewed by my experience.
Human curation, eh?

Will I be able to choose the ideology setting?
Japan is one blink of an eye of passing from the "shackles of Westerner hegemony" (that among other things at one point made it the 2nd largest economy on the planet for a country only 50% bigger than Romania...) into the loving arms of the Chinese juggernaut.

Be careful what you wish, because it might come true :-)

> The Chinese government is scrubbing the country’s internet of sympathetic or accurate coverage of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and systematically amplifying pro-Putin talking points.

This sentence makes zero sense.

Unrelatedly, I would love to see an unbiased comparison to e.g. US media doing effectively the same thing. Not going to happen, of course (understandbly, for both countries, given their respective foreign policies and handle on their mainstream media, albeit in different ways).

I'm very surprised, e.g., that throughout this, nobody has yet to make a comparison to the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis. To me it looks like the mirror image of what's happening in Ukraine right now (minus the international outrage/sanctions/boycotting element -- different times before the internet, I suppose)
foobar2000 works great for my local mp3 collection on two different windows machines.

It's even possible to use it as a source for internet radio stream using some other software (butt & voicemeter) and lot of black magic.

I think the iPhone is the perfect example of innovation. At the time you had cell phones with SMS and you had MP3 music players like iPod, etc. Innovation there is combining it all into one product with a touch screen. Blackberry was the closest but still their designs were strongly based on SMS messaging.

What isn't innovation: adding more megapixels to a camera lens on a phone or more <something> (CPU speed, hard drive size, network speed, etc.) which is more about us finding better ways to engineer something and shrinking existing tech. There may be innovations in the process but I don't see those as innovative products themselves.
A number of people tried that in the 20th century with some pretty ugly results.
It's "game-able" in the sense that someone could indeed learn all of those, but that's a win because it trains them for actual skills relevant to the job.
Of course, but I tend not to rely on quotes in some cases. It's quite obvious it was not their intention.
> The rank of a matrix is fundamental to understanding linear transformations, since it given you knowledge about the dimensions of the "output space".

That's more to do with the space of the coefficients, I think.

> Saying one can look fundamental stuff up elsewhere means the book is lacking.

A list of distributions is not fundamental to statistics. Discovering a new distribution doesn't meaningfully expand the fundamentals of the field of statistics: all the basic principles are the same. Anyone familiar with those basic principles can pick up a new distribution quite easily – and can probably derive new distributions when they're needed.
Montreal definitely ticks all your boxes!
The renewability of wood briquettes is dubious at best, it's not clear the carbon emissions from biofuels is being properly accounted for, because many place don't consider the carbon release at time of burning, but rather at time of harvest. Unfortunately the rules of accounting for carbon emission at time of harvest aren't great either, with it being possible to simple not account for the carbon emission by claiming a clear-cut forest is still a forest, so no land use change has occurred, and thus no need to account for carbon emissions resulting from land use change (which is the trigger point for computing the carbon emission of cut trees).

In addition burning biofuels like wood briquettes and wood pellets at home release horrific amounts of carbon monoxide and other small particulate from incomplete combustion. Stuff that does horrific things to local air quality, we'll see the return of impenetrable smog to our cities, and health warnings telling asthmatics not to go outside for risk of dying due to inhaling all the nasties.
Another factor to consider, especially with some countries currently facing the prospect of having much of their oil and gas supplies cut, is how fast you can scale up new forms of energy production and storage. Renewables do appear to be one of the fastest alternatives to implement, with some examples of 100Mw+ plants being designed and built within months, in contrast to e.g. nuclear which (at least in the UK) takes over a decade to plan and build.
>> And when people say "won't fit in anything else", do explore your options before! RAM storage can be very, very, very big and the cost for using it is minuscule compared to what it used to be!

That's why the "big data" industry also encourages collection of absolutely every bit of data you can find. They want you to need their tools. You may not think there's a use for it, but vague promises of AI finding needles in the haystack are used to get you to keep it and bloat your system.
Some of that is a locality issue. Due to a mix of bad planning and Ukraine resisting rather more effectively than expected, Russian forces don't have enough equipment near the front lines so are falling back on what they can find for now. There is better equipment available elsewhere, but Russia is fairly large and getting that reinforcing equipment from one part to another is not an instantaneous process.

I could be wrong of course. This isn't the first time I've heard the figure, but 75% seems rather a lot to have dedicated to this action at the outset. Do you have any reference for that figure?
Outrage is entirely justified. It is also largely useless.

Sanctions have material impact. Military supplies have material impact.

Twitter/Reddit/HN/Facebook outrage does not have material impact.
What do you mean? Of course you can still learn them "just for fun" if you want. There are plenty of columnar data warehouses (memsql, greenplum, vertica, clickhouse, etc) and data processing frameworks (spark, flink, etc) that you can look at, implement and run yourself.

It's all using the same principles underneath.
Reads like: "When I hammer nails with my shovel, the results are poor. Shovel makers should redesign their product to hammer nails better."
There's a significant chance their nuclear weapons are in absolute shambles, but who wants to call that bluff?

Additionally, even if their nuclear forces are in shambles, it really only takes a single launch to set off nuclear war. It's not like their entire nuclear force needs to function in order for the world to see a very bad outcome.
I'm old by any measure and yes, there were plenty of things that could have gone better and a few that are still cringe-worthy even after seven decades. But I'm not that person any more. I have experiences and insights that "me" hadn't earned yet, often the hard way. I'm glad this process continues to reveal and inform even this late in the game and would certainly "regret" if it ceased before I did...

Agreed, also the way my high school taught it made proofs seem like a boring subset of Geometry. The unit was poorly connected to other units and the problems I found by far the easiest in the course as we got very formulaic ones. It's entirely possible my teacher was just awful but I definitely walked away with some misconceptions about what proofs are. Perhaps it would have been more appropriate at an earlier stage of development.
