This Dual SFP28 (dual 25Gb cages) plus 1Gb Eth PCI-e card has an MSRP of $199, meaning a street price will be a bit under that.

10Gb NIC's run around $100... and can't do any switching or routing. As mentioned, this card can offload 100% of routing needs from the server (ie. zero CPU usage on your server to make routing decisions), can switch at line speed (well above line speed actually, rated for 100Gbps throughput), plus the server can still use one of the ports for it's own needs. Sounds pretty powerful to me.

It's unlikely this is an interesting product for a home lab or business - it's likely more geared towards service providers. Still a pretty cool idea none-the-less, regardless of how you feel about routerOS.
Ahhhh, yes.

We’re better off generating bash scripts as non-root that does nothing but install into a build subdirectory containing rootfs, along with file setting scripts upon root install.

Blindly poking into the rootfs is probably ok for script kiddies and hobbyists.

Unless it's functional, which (1) changes the odds; and (2) is a prerequisite for patenting.
This would have been good news for me were I planning to apply today. I got very poor grades in high school and if they had ranked the students or calculated a gpa I doubt anyone would have looked at my application at all.

I’m really glad to see this part; I hope it’s true:

> At the same time, standardized tests also help us identify academically prepared, socioeconomically disadvantaged students who could not otherwise demonstrate readiness

When I was at MIT I felt that the institute was working hard on this area and took it seriously (for undergrads at least), though how well I could not tell — I was most definitely not of any cohort that deserved any special treatment.
This. The tyranny of popularity continues with "c" sugared languages, among other factors.
It would surely have natural yeast in it, but it isn't given a long time to ferment. It rises solely from the escaping steam, much as crackers and pie crust do. You have to "dock" crackers and pie crust to prevent them from bubbling up too much.

Naan is often made with yeast for flavor, but it's not necessary for the rise.
Yeah, there's room to quibble when it comes to Warzone, but it really doesn't add up to much in my view. The most gamebreaking advantages - The Roze skin and the broken Mac-10 blueprint - were basically accidents when it was a fairly young game (< a year old), and almost all of them were freebies included in the basic battle pass (so essentially free for anyone that plays regularly). Statistical anomolies still come around and "break" the game every once in a while, but it's really reached a point where most of the main weapons are well balanced
to the point that I often think I would have been best off sticking with some of the first guns I levelled up.

Most blueprints effectively just make levelling up new weapons a more pleasant experience, maybe saving you 1 - 2 hours for $20.
There are times when sum types are the best solution, but in many cases, interfaces are the solution. But, interfaces as they are designed to be used, not just interfaces used to label a set of types that you then constantly type switch between. See: http://www.jerf.org/iri/post/2960

This is true of OO languages in general, not just Go.
> that's kind of a gap from the EdgeRouter Infinity (ER-8-XG)

Indeed, not least on price. How much was your ER-8-XG? My CRS305-1G-4S+IN were about USD180 each.

EDIT: If there were a silent version of the CRS326-24S+2Q+RM[0][1] I'd have bought one already...

"The MikroTik CRS326-24S+2Q+RM is an insane switch. Its specs are relatively mundane by modern standards. It has 24x SFP+ 10GbE ports and 2x QSFP+ 40GbE ports making it not even as powerful as mainstream previous-generation switches like the QCT QuantaMesh T3048-LY8 that we installed in our lab years ago. Instead what makes the switch insane is that it offers all of that performance at $475"

As one of those private tutors that the ultra-rich hire, I can definitely support most of what you've said here.

The greatest service that private tutoring provides is structure, accountability, and guidance. A dedicated student working independently through quality practice materials (many of which are cheap or free) can absolutely attain most if not all of the beneficial outcomes of preparing with a tutor/service.

I think when people look at inequity in college admissions, standardized testing ends up being an easy, tangible target, but not a particularly important one. If you want to look at how wealth impacts standardized test scores, focusing on paid preparation programs is missing the larger picture.

Wealthy students have had literate parents who can afford books and have the time to read to them when they're toddlers. They've gone to safe schools where the teachers can focus on teaching rather than making sure the students are well fed. They are surrounded by adults who have gone to college and can serve as role models for positive academic behavior. They have friends who are all taking the same tests and applying to the same schools to provide emotional and thoughtful support.

The collegeboard markets the SAT as measuring preparedness for secondary education. These students have been preparing for college their entire lives; is it any wonder that they score higher?
Well, if you want to know opinion of his contemporaries you should read what they have written. Also, the third volume has a preface by Engels that tries to deflect criticism of contemporary economists.

> You should try reading Das Kapital.

Well, maybe you should try re-reading it, because as far as I understand it, it doesn’t say anything close to that; though I am sure there is an interpretation that claims so as there are dozens of various contradictory Marx’s interpretations.
I agree with some of the premises of this article, that much of the news is actually of negative value, but I have some problems with this part:

> If an event is actually important to your real life, you will find out about it. Such news will find you.

> Well, from my experience you ignore all of the things you cannot control and that have little bearing on your life (again, if there is some news that will actually effect your life you’ll hear about it)

Here is the crux. There are actually important things we need to know about (e.g. a nearby natural disaster that may threaten your area; an upcoming local election with important consequences; a worldwide pandemic). How do we find out about about them? This article assumes they will somehow reach you anyway even if you ignore all news - how?

IME, the way this happens, is that your relatives/friends/neighbors, who are following the news, tell you about it. In other words, this advice appears to me to rely on parasitism - a minority can ignore all news without harm because they can still rely on the majority who follow the news to provide really important information. As a moral position it fails the categorical imperative.
"All ten of the treated mice survived infection, compared with only 20 per cent of the untreated mice. [...] The compound has the potential to be used as a broad-spectrum treatment against other viruses which use the same mechanism [...] including influenza viruses such as influenza A, H1N1, and influenza C."

But apparently it is most effective very soon after exposure. From the paper [1]:

"in the K18-hACE2 mouse model, treating with
N-0385 resulted in complete protection against SARS-CoV-2 induced
mortality and significantly protected against weight loss, lung pathology, and viral infection when treatment occurred at the time of, or 12
hours after, infection with the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2"

Can someone provide an example of where this would provide value? I'm not sure I understand.

The examples I see in the article (picking the 'best' pain medication or antidepressant) aren't all that interesting to me. Like, of course naproxen wins, it has the longest half life of all of the listed medications...and the comparison of SSRI are well known at this point. I find it hard to believe that a board certified psychiatrist (Susan) wouldn't know which medication has better efficacy in which scenarios.

Perhaps this is meant for providers that don't understand the pharmacology and evidence behind the drugs they're prescribing. If that's the case, maybe we should be asking ourselves if we should be the ones prescribing that medication or if a specialist should.

And maybe it can elucidate useful findings quicker than academia, but I doubt by much. And funnily enough, there are already tools that exist to make meta-analyses and systematic reviews a lot quicker than they used to be.
The Beatle Who Got Away
Hum... I'm not sure you meant misrepresent the OP's ideas and painting him as a genocide apologist was the "right thing to do" or that banning the symbol is ok.

And if you meant that banning the symbol is ok, it does not immediately follow that discussion about the censorship (it is still censorship, even if it's ok) should be banned.

Anyway, in a huge thread, there appeared a single answer about NATO. So if you want to go tag something, that answer is a good one.
That’s cool when you consider that C02 is what yeast level bread with when they excrete it during fermentation.
Even modern FPS are like that. In the recent installments of Far Cry, for example, I have found myself spending not a small portion of time collecting stuff, tweaking the possessions, building/fixing things. While still enjoying these otherwise excellent and fun games, I find older games, like the original Doom, Unreal, or early installments of FarCry, more enjoyable and fun - exactly because they feel less like "work."
Thanks for the response. I didn't know that NPM packages aren't just Git pulls as they are in Composer. That's surprising. I wonder why they decided against implementing it that way - it seems like just using Git or other package managers would save from having to deal with hosting, versioning, and so many other things inside the manager system itself.
This is exactly why so many people (myself included) advocate for a pure "software engineering" degree at more universities. Let people who are interested study graph theory, combinatorics, linear algebra, advanced probability and statistics and whatever else. For the rest, provide a path to be ready for an industry job building websites and applications, which is what 90% of graduates will end up doing.

Every other discipline out there has a clear separation of pure from applied science. Why can't we do the same for software? What we end up with is borderline fraudulent coding bootcamps to fill in the gap.
While I do not have a fleshed-out idea ready, I think that some sort of method to (dynamically?) scale the difference between "encased blocks" and "code" would help everyone. Imagine having a program, or a set of instructions, and being able to drag a slider somewhere to make it 'more like blocks' and 'more like code'. It would be mostly a visual thing I suppose (considering the set of instructions and flow control can be described as an AST) but having a gradient instead of blocks vs. code would make transitioning as well as reasoning about it in conversation very easy.
If you're LGBT, following the news is incredibly important. It's essential to track legislation such as the Idaho anti-trans bill that jails parents, or Florida anti-LGBT bill that just passed, especially if you're an LGBT teenager or a parent of one.
There is are 2 assumptions here, that needs to stated more loudly.

1: "Companies maximize profits. Humans maximize utility. Profits != utility"

2: "Profits are absolute. Utility is perceived."

Utility is an under-defined combination of components on Maslow's pyramid. Even more vexing, is the realization that these components vary from concrete (health, food, shelter) to hedonistically moving targets (social acclaim, money, material wants) to merely perceived (self-actualization). The term: "under-defined combination" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Because some utilities are uncomparable. 'Time spent with your children' cannot be quantified in corresponding wealth or social acclaim. Till date, I am yet to find a better compact representation (meme) of the human condition than Maslow's pyramid.

However, to a more technical audience I prefer the 'RL agent' analogy. A human is an RL agent in a weakly observed universe. The utility function it weakly defined, expected outcomes vary from true outcomes and you can only control your action space. As any RL researcher will tell you; an agent tries to maximize their utility. However, they must periodically update the utility function itself and the manner in which the world is observed. This directly applies to humans. Every once in a while, use previous experiences to re-evaluate your perception of the world. Reflect on the very foundational drivers of your goals with this new perception in mind. Find new goals. In between these iterations, a person focuses on reaching whatever their current perception of the goal is, until the next iteration.

This RL model is incredibly effective. If each iteration leads to massive changes in goals, then 'regularize' or use 'RMSE' on your utility function. If each iteration sees too little change and your utility isn't good enough; then you're stuck in a local minima. Increase your learning rate and lean more on exploration (try something new) instead of exploitation (staying your course).
Except expanding the business itself is a perfectly valid way to use the business' profits. Amazon used 100% legal accounting measures.
10base-T1S and 10base-T1L are single pair. Though I didn’t realise they’re a modern standard until I just looked it up.

Coax is also two ”wires”, though obviously not twisted.

I used to do networking professionally too. Though it looks like I’ve gotten rather rusty on the basics.
Getting back to the product at hand - there was no value, as much as a minor cost saving.

A semi-reliable recommendation on the medication that Susan could prescribe doesn't save nearly enough money. You should realise that medicines aren't 100% reliable and people acquire tolerances to many medications over a longer run.

Basically this product suffered from the get go - because the person who started it wasn't an SME.
Yes. The old saying among Labour party socialists in the UK was "rise with your class, not above it". They were in favour of a high floor on living standards and a low ceiling on wealth. It isn't a stretch to think that a more even playing field would be a better substitute for mobility.
Cute, but Tom Waits gets about considerably more.

Thank you very much for your participation. We try to cover all aspects of agile software development like "TDD", "short release" etc. as describe in the literature. This is the reasons why the questionnaire is so long. Whether those belongs to agility or not we hope to find out during the analysis.

We assume that CMM tool only provide the technical basis for a good documentation but how well it is used depends on the developer.

Thank you again for your participation!
You sound like they should be ashamed of it? I'd rather go to a school where the under-performing students at least had well connected and wealthy families: much of the point of these institutions are networking-- if you just want to learn there are many other alternatives.
Yeah, this blog is usually very interesting but this is definitely not a good article. A bit disappointing
Perfect timing for reelection season.
Posting like this will get you banned here, regardless of how bad another comment is or you feel it is. We've had to warn you about this before.

I don't want to ban you because you've also been posting good comments–but if you keep breaking the site guidelines, we're going to end up having to. Would you mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and using HN for its intended purpose? We'd appreciate it.
If electricity/m^2 or per site is your metric of choice, solar isn't going to do well. However, this is an uninteresting metric in a world with so much unused land, and with a technology that doesn't gain significant efficiency improvements from being deployed at a large farm vs. in smaller installations. I don't think anybody seriously disputes at this point that solar can generate enough electricity to power the world (with suitable investments in transmission infrastructure)--and at far lower prices than nuclear for the same amount of electricity. Storage is the problem proposals for significant portions of the grid being solar has to deal with.

Essentially it's a single board computer with two network interfaces, one on the PCIe side, one on the bracket side.

This has been done before with the likes of DSL modems that weren't actually modems but just router-on-a-card that would just have a Realtek PCI chip on the bus side, which then directly had its GMII interface hooked up to a conexant DSL modem/router package which itself then connected to the actual on-board modem.
The Davis-Beisse reactor in Ohio was found in 2002 to have a boric acid leak that ate through 6 inches of steeling cladding, leaving only 3/8ths inch of steel holding in the high-pressure coolant.

A few months earlier, the company had claimed that "oh yeah, we checked that, everything's fine!" and employees were later convicted for providing false information to and hiding evidence of the leak from government inspectors.

This is really awesome. I'll definitely be following the development of this OS!

You figure you'll keep with the bleeding edge C standards for the future?

Also, if someone wanted to build compatibility layers out to other FOSS OSes into the system somewhere would that be tolerated? For example drivers from other OSes could massively improve quality of life and usability.

Dont try to memorise all things, try to find easy way to create advices from your text notes according to current work day.

I wrote bot on top of my notes. What it do for me:

* makes kb node from every paragraph
* watches for changes in text files to know I modified any my paragraph using LCS algo and change similar node in kb
* sync some local notes with Everynote
* operates with strict commands to manage kb
* builds check lists for current work day from my markers for kb nodes

Current bot based on Microsoft Bot framework.
That's when I bought mine. Grocery store was out of toilet paper, next day delivery on Amazon. Still using it, I'm a fan of them now.
I thought about it a bit more - I was unfair to start-ups. It's not that start-ups largely solve trivial problems - it's that humans largely solve trivial problems.

There are factors that make start-ups more likely to solve trivial problems vs say, a research institute, but it almost doesn't matter in the scheme of things.

There are exceptions - they come once every few decades, per industry, give or take. Then the millions of regular people take it and do what they can't help but do :)
The problem with testing isn't that it's inaccurate, but that it's a poor tool for the problem that it's being used to solve. You can't express "likelihood of success in college" in one number. Looking back on my time in college, the idea that my success could be predicted by my knowledge of geometry and vocabulary words is laughable.

If there was a test that could accurately predict someone's chances of "success", be it SAT or IQ test, it would be used by everyone for everything. Billion dollar companies would be giving CEOs a version of that test before hiring them. A near perfect SAT score is noteworthy personal trivia, but other than that it loses all meaning as soon as someone steps on campus.

Schools with strong brands use tests because they have way more applicants than they can properly review. Standardized testing is made necessary by scale, not predictive accuracy. I'm sure that anyone who has worked in college admissions for years has a very clear picture of what a successful student looks like. But there doesn't seem to be a way to quantify and codify that knowledge. And there likely wouldn't be time to apply it to tens of thousands of people in a few months anyway. So, standardized testing is what we have until someone comes up with something better.
What about time?
If you just want to be a great web developer, MIT may not be the best place for you.

MIT best prepares people for those less well defined roles, such as designing the next era of web browsers. For that, you can never know exactly which skills will be needed, so it's probably best to have as many neighbouring skills as possible so you don't hit problems you can't solve merely because the knowledge required to see the best solution was in that topic your course didn't cover.

Who knows, maybe the next era of web browsers will browse the web for you, and then condense everything they learned from thousands of resources into a single paragraph for the user to see. And for that, they might need ML.
Nice, they figured how to play the ycombinator game, own VC funding, pump company, over estimate it, and dump it for a juicy profit
It is an application for a patent, not a grant of patent. It's not clear if it makes any exclusivity claims on the basic concept or is just about the specific implementation details. That is one problem with patents, it's hard to interpret their scope unless you speak the particular patent dialect. I do wish that the patent system would require references to prior art and specific callouts about how this application is different.
Oh interesting. That's quite the discovery. So Ukrainians got poisoned and BBC isnt reporting on that and the russian media isnt reporting on anything at all.

This is very intriguing.
In which case, he would be able to get beer in the same manner.

The issue is that the people he claims are getting him alcohol would be in the same situation as him.
> Not to mention that, but there were sports our school didn't participate in, but the richer kids had levels of access to that looked great on college applications - rowing and lacrosse specifically come to mind.

Exactly. I went to smallish rural school. We had soccer, basketball, baseball. Youth soccer in my area was a rigged game where only people who were enrolled in the coaches summer camp would make the varsity team. Basketball had 75 kids try out for 12 spots. Baseball is ruthlessly competitive, and while I was a really good little league player, I had no chance against kids who were in multiple travel leagues, etc. I probably played 50 baseball games from age 9-12. The best players played at least 500.

My cousins went to a fancy private school. Everyone played on a varsity team; it was how they did gym. My older cousin did fencing, the middle one did basketball, the younger twins played squash. The squash guys sold themselves as a package and ended up getting a couple of ivy league places fighting for them.

I think we have a similar outlook on this. For me, getting good SAT/ACT scores let me "punch higher", and got me into some really good schools that I would not have be admitted to. Ultimately, I went to a state school, but was able to parlay the competitive nature of things to get a better grant package.
> Everything from the diet, to available time, and noise pollution, all makes a difference on education level. Our education system relies heavily on outside help, and poorer neighborhoods often don’t have the time and energy to give their kids even the most basic help with their homework.

Well said. Thanks for elaborating on my point.
That, and it's so fricking gorgeous that if I lived there, you'd have to drag me away!
