Like it makes a fucking difference... Your civilian gun rights can't protect you when there's a team of police armed with assault rifles and body armor marching down your street. Are you seriously suggesting civilians take up counter-sniping positions against the police? The fuck is wrong with you? The days of the old west are over, we need laws and regulations not civil war.
I think the real strength of microservices is that it encourages software that is structured like the teams that wrote it.

The general rule is that this is true anyway. However having a strategy that actually encourages it removes many communication headaches that accompany monolithic or highly distributed builds.
>using new process node - 3D 16nm

The Hotchips slides explicitly mentioned 20nm. Based on a bad assumption, the author for this story decided to freely reinterpret '20nm' as 16FF. (There's a connection between the two, but that's mostly for pedants on internet forums)
I thought that "active" attacks is exactly what we were trying to guard against?

> DB2 is just the same thing as Oracle.

DB2 supports sub-capacity licensing on a wide variety of virtualisation platforms, unlike Oracle. This may or may not matter to you. It does to me under a variety of circumstances.

DB2 also has much more granularity in licensing before you have to ramp up to ASE, which, again, may make a big difference to you (many equivalent features are available a significantly lower price points).

> So you'll use every proprietary Oracle feature that gives you additional performance (subpartitions, parallel query execution, optimizer hints, manual column statistics, connect by, listagg, …).

More than a few of these are trivial conversions to other DBs. CONNECT BY is hardly magic, neither's parallel query execution or listagg.

Operational concerns are probably the biggest one.

> Take all this together and we're pretty much locked into Oracle.

If you're in a business where running your company on whatever schedule Oracle chooses to offer you, that won't be a problem.

Tell HN: A founder of Zombal is looking for people to take over the site
Zombal is a scientific and R&D outsourcing website; it's been featured on HN a few times back when it was launched.

I've just received the following email:

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

I'm reaching out to the community for expressions of interest to take over zombal.com.

Ideally you would have a strong interest in a scientific discipline, and experience in running a website. The areas that seem to have the greatest potential for Zombal's growth is in mathematics and statistics.

I've found it difficult running the website from Australia, so preferably you'd be based in the US. In order to payout to customers you must have a bank account in the US, which can be difficult to arrange if you do not live there.

If this opportunity is of interest to you, please contact me directly by replying to this email and I can provide more detail. I am willing to assist you with the site technically in the short term.

Creating Zombal was an incredibly exciting experience, but I am now focusing my time on other endeavours.

Kind regards,
Benedict

Zombal.com Founder
You must worry by yourself if the key from the other person is trustworthy. If you let the software do it, you need to trust the software developers, the software providers (how did you install the software?), etc. Therefore taking key management out of the hands of the users might increase usability, but it automatically decreases security.
Jokes on HN are almost always downvoted.
For real, does anyone actually thing civilian gun ownership could ever actually play a role in protest confrontations like this? If one dude started firing at the police so many bystanders would be in the line of fire. And just forget about an organized effort, that would turn into a massacre. The only path forward is law and regulation that mitigates this militarization of our nation's police. This is soooo obviously oppression and disservice not service and protection. Just goes to show you how racist this nation still is, can't imagine this same response to protesters in a white suburban neighborhood.
Really? Europe has had low rates of private gun ownerships for many decades. However, police has yet to turn into the Gestapo (consider for instance the UK, where the majority of the police force does not even carry firearms).

On the other hand, it must be a lot easier to justify the use of snipers and military vehicles by the police when many civilians carry (possibly concealed) weaponry.
You must have a different definition of "saving lives" than I do.
The idea that once code is rewritten to take advantage ofother cores then more wimpy cores would be better than a few powerful cores is wrong. Most threaded code today can scale to a small number of cores (2, 4, 6) but can't scale to a ridiculously high number of cores (e.g. 32) due to various bottlenecks that are hard to remove.

Also the simplicity of RISC cores vs X86 does not significantly affect chip cost since these days the vast majority of the space on a chip is taken up by on-chip caches (L1, L2, L3). The space taken up by instruction decoding circuits is really, really negligible next to that.

wtf? That's why in europe this happens all the time, right?

I don't think it would help the situation at all if both sides would be armed.

(Which, obviously doesn't mean that I think what the police doing there is correct).

Maybe it's actually the other way around: Police knows people are probably armored, that's why they might need to have heavy armory as well.. Think about it.

I think 'streaming' is the operative difference there. If you're opening a connection and sending large amounts of JSON 1-way then header/encoding overhead is basically not a problem. But a 2-way RPC protocol is basically making a separate HTTP request each time. For log file messages you're going to be sending more header more object definitions and headers than data.

I'm curious how you're formatting your JSON too - some formats are going to be way lighter then others.
If your startup is focussing on startups then maybe this could be of use. But I can't see the general appeal.

Besides adding a list of what sites you syndicate to, maybe startuplister could also provide a list of submitted sites (with an API too).

I can see the value, if you are going to list your startup on all of these services yourself by hand. But I do wonder about the intrinsic value of being listed on them too.
Nope, presentations can only be embedded as iframes.
One thing that is worth noting about the arming of UK police is that the overwhelming majority of police here don't want to be armed:

You could get creative, but it'd definitely involve spending some time.

I'd use the space myself for building an e-mail list, Twitter following, Facebook following, or similar which could then be used to make money further down the line. I don't know much about your game mod/project but if everyone going through that page is an avid Steam user and gamer, if you could get 100k people following on Twitter, on an e-mail list, on Facebook, etc, that's a very valuable audience for many people.

TL;dr - Don't let third parties advertise on the page, use the space to build your own audience, then sell advertising/make money on the back end.

Part 1 of this series contains a link to an article called "How browsers work" (http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/internals/howbrowsers...), which I read a while back. The epiphany for me was how browsers combine the DOM with style information into a render tree which can be traversed to do the actual drawing. While I won't be writing a commercial browser any time soon, that was the concept that was missing in mind, and once it was there I felt that I truly did understand the fundamental workings of a web browser and would be able to sit down and write one.

This reminds me of the famous Torvalds quote:

"Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships."

As I have advanced in skill as a programmer, I'm continuously reminded of how true that is. The canonical example at this point is obviously git - which has a mind-blowingly simple albeit clever structure - but I've found it to be the case in almost everything.

I'm currently working on a compact DSL for performing a certain type of aggregations across streams of JSON objects. To me, the workings of programming languages used to be a black box with a lot of magic going on. Once I understood the concepts of lexing, parsing, using a visitor to traverse the AST and stack machines, it was went from being out of my reach to a simple but slightly time consuming excercise.

There are many other examples -- raytracers, databases, rendering html and css as per the article and so on - but the point is that once you've found a convenient abstraction and a good way to represent the data, tasks that seem complex can become rather easy. A good chunk of what defines a good programmer seems to be the ability/intuition to find those magic abstractions which obliterates the problem.
Who do you suppose the police officers are?

At worst they are civilians with an ego problem and an itchy trigger finger.

The problem is that encouraging an us and them approach empowers civil wars like this could turn into.

The elite have nothing to do with this. They're easy targets in the scale of things (Kennedy for example). Only sheer numbers are an issue.

This is a big thing that GPUs have been doing for decades. I'm honestly surprised this has not been done until now.

Scientific, and many other data processing workloads use compression because memory bandwidth is the slow part. Mostly once you have the data in memory, doing some extra instructions on it is almost free, considering how slow a memory load is in comparison these days. But if all you are doing is compressing the data, then I guess it's a definite win. It'll be interesting to see what sort of speedups this gives when you're also processing the data.
I know what it is only from being around since it's inception. If I was new to it, I'd probably be confused too.

I think the idea of having sniper overwatch is that if a single person in the crowd pulls out a gun or other lethal weapon, the sniper can engage just that guy.

Hi pi-err, you make really good points.

Also, if every team member could assign tasks, send requests and questions using this syntax, would that change your perception of this being a top-down management tool? Because our intention is to build a tool that allows a more horizontal communication among team members - but that's more difficult to visualize in a single video.

We are also aware of the cultural-contextual association of colours. This is one thing we are actually struggling with. While colors are a very easy and effective way to communicate status of tasks, especially to give a quick overview of many tasks - they have severe limitations, just like you say, red evoking associations with something as being "bad".

Took a closer look at this today, it really does look incredibly flexible, interesting to see how easy it is to add middleware to an endpoint stack.

Northern Ireland eventually worked out reasonably well when we started talking to the "terrorists" and realizing that they represented a minority community who had some pretty legitimate grievances - both sides eventually recognized that fighting was never going to get anywhere.

I recall reading that there is very little reason to believe that the currently used crowd control methods actually work as intended. After rioting starts you probably want a capable force stopping the rioters. But riot police being present before riots start might as well contribute to triggering riots, especially if tactics like kettling[0] are involved.

Why can towns afford expensively kitted SWAT Police? Firstly the US Gov bought a lot of equipment for the war on Terror and drugs and, secondly it can be profitable:

"Rules on civil asset-forfeiture allow the police to seize anything which they can plausibly claim was the proceeds of a crime. Crucially, the property-owner need not be convicted of that crime. If the police find drugs in his house, they can take his cash and possibly the house, too. He must sue to get them back."

So, you are in a situation where the Police are incentivised to use their time to serve drug warrants.
