Conspiracy theory? How so? We know that Russia spent some amount >= $100,000 on campaign ads, and guessing the actual amount comes down to how good you think Facebook is at resolving accounts to people who don't want to be found. I

Iit's specifically minor bribes required to get anything done even if you comply with the law. Bribing a building inspector to overlook safety problems, that's an FCPA violation. Tipping him $20 to thank him for his hard work on v

It doesn't. AIUI jlink creates a binary image of the VM + referenced classes. AOT is a lot easier to do with modules implemented and I'm sure it's on the roadmap, but not available yet.

So the input log isn't partitioned? I'm going off of https://fauna.com/blog/consistent-transactions-in-a-globally... which states > Each database has a single partitioned RAFT-replicated log that is used t

Except that Germany 1933-1939 didn't have significant inflation.

How does FaunaDB guarantee that all partitions of a transaction commit or abort? The Calvin paper just says "see here for our distributed pessimistic locks that make this not a problem" but if FaunaDB uses oplocks then that doesn&

But there is AGP CD-ROM CC0 QQZ, so, you know. There's that.

Well, yeah. Stalin was a monster. He was just good at being a monster.

I wouldn't say that, actually. Germany's recovery was primarily fueled by massive deficit spending on rearmament and social programs. Keep the people pacified, bootstrap from the tiny military allowed by Versailles up to something

That quote sounds good, but I don't think it's necessarily applicable to this situation. The author seems to be talking about complex systems that are designed and operated to be robust against failure, like the space shuttle. Say

Where people seem to really care about perf is networking. What that means in non-crazy land is you cut out the kernel from that part, do networking in userspace, and pin a thread to a CPU to poll for packets. Like it's all MMIO and DM

I have 5 tables which have overrun the range of int in the id column. Happily they were defined bigint. A while ago one ran out of tinyints, but doing the schema change...was pretty terrible actually due to the foreign keys. The tinyint dec

That's true. Thanks for reminding me! Next time I need to torture a graph store I'll try loading common crawl into it.

I was referring to x1e.32xlarge..2x1920GB ephemeral, 25 Gbps Ethernet + 14 Gbps EBS Ethernet. And at least for the application I'm considering, the working set would fit in RAM and you can run the algorithm online. Score! That's w

I had cause to consult a syscall table (not this one, a correct one, forget where I found it) when doing something or other with fasm. fasm's macros are pretty dang advanced...I remember having argument length checking and rudimentary

Good luck finding anything public about graph processing on a dataset too large to fit on a single machine. I can launch an AWS instance with 128 cores and 4 TB RAM--how many triples is too many for that monster? Tens of billions? Hundreds

Yeah, that's me in a nutshell. My employer recently sent everyone new hardware and I was initially bummed about getting the just-before-Touch-Bar MBP. Then I saw how gimmicky and awful Touch Bar was for the "lucky" colleague

IANA neuroscientist but it seems reasonable that the brain will fix up small errors. It has to anyway, because it has its own input latency. Besides, the article is referring to discrepancies between multiple audio tracks, which don't

On some systems delete is backspace when you're at the end of a line.

But we already have that. It's called practicing.

Sounds like someone wasn't practicing defensive electrical engineering (is that a thing? I think it should be a thing).

Should a neo-Nazi have phone service? Would it be acceptable for Verizon to cut off someone's FiOS based on the Anti-Defamation League's say-so? For Internet-based businesses, the ability to display ads and process credit card payments is n

Let f(x) = y. The guards have f and y. A spy gives a guard an x, and the guard computes f(x) and checks it against his list of ys. If it's on the list, the spy can pass. The enemy has f and y too, but it doesn't help them! f(x) is trivial t

I've seen doors kicked in where it was the jamb that broke and not the lock. I think I'd rather call a locksmith...

The way I see it is, if UK2 wants to fuck customers out of the service that UK2 advertised and the customers paid for, the customers are welcome to fuck right back.

To make a long story short, IE9 is fast but very beta. Now you don't need to try it!

All that ever happens is that you "call the functions and pass-in the data", except that OOP languages know to pass this for you. The difference between OOP-style C and an actual OOP language in this regard is syntactic, not conceptual.
