11,503,563 | null | comment | krylon | 1,460,721,054 | Python, at least, uses actual OS-level threads. However, it also uses a global interpreter lock (GIL), so only one thread can execute Pyton code at a time.<p>But when writing Python modules in C, you have control over acquiring and releasing of the GIL, so before starting some long running operation, you give up the lock.<p>Node, AFAIK, uses several OS-level threads under the hood for disk I/O. And with PHP, a web server probably will run multiple threads for handling requests concurrently.<p>So the impact might not be as big as for performance-oriented code in C/C++, but it is not necessarily nil, either. | null | 11,503,447 | null | [

11,503,573 | null | comment | stavrus | 1,460,721,172 | > Those have no costs, except for limited maintenance, and the game development has paid itself years ago. So it is virtually pure profit.<p>In the years since WoW came out Blizzard came out with a centralized authentication, billing, and support system known as Battle.Net. It took them quite a few patches over 2-3 expansions to integrate that system fully into WoW and a not insignificant effort would be required to port that over to the old game client, especially if they wanted to give it the same level of polish in integration that they're known for applying to their games.<p>Second, patch 2.0.1 (the Burning Crusade pre-patch) brought in a massive amount of changes designed solely to combat a growing player trend at the time - the use of addons to automate playing the game (no not bots, actual addons like Healbot) - through the concept of protected functions. And this was just a small portion of their overall effort in combating automation/bots. The player base would cry foul if they brought out legacy servers and didn't keep the anti-bot measures, Warden included, up-to-date. They tried for years to fight those problems head-on only and are only barely keeping up in the fight against Glider and its brethren. Log onto retail WoW nowadays and run non-100 dungeons and you'll easily run into quite a few sophisticated bots that'll run the dungeon with you, fully programmed to handle all the dungeon mechanics [1]. There's also plenty of people running bots with level 90 (from the character boost) druids farming dungeons like Stonecore, Gundrak, and the like. It's kind of hilariously sad seeing a chain of them all following the same pre-programmed path in the world, especially when they take advantage of how client movement works in the game to fly straight through obstructing terrain as if it weren't there.<p>Third, running a game, especially an MMO, also requires providing dedicated support staff. A very large effort would have to be made to recover/remember the issues and workarounds the GM staff would use back when the server was live and then train the new staff with this knowledge. There would probably be a rather significant engineering effort involved in this as well as the old GM ticketing system used to be done entirely in-client while nowadays it's some web-based thing (the former made it rather easy for players to impersonate GMs). Improvements like those and other GM tools like better insight/control over a player character and logged events that were made over the years would have to be back-ported in order to maintain the high expectation of quality Blizzard support has fought hard to maintain.<p>[1]: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsaE4pM9-cw" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsaE4pM9-cw</a> | null | 11,503,108 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

11,503,574 | null | comment | logicrook | 1,460,721,195 | Oh thanks, that looks pretty interesting, and will distract from shitposting on random pop-science/political quasi-journalism articles for a while.

As the introduction says, it's pretty quick to set everything up (just one apt-get away), the clean racket syntax allows to define a calculus very neatly, but that's a far cry from being able to say much about it. I think I'll try to follow the tutorial with a classical calculus (λμ) and see how that turns out, but that's going to take some time.

11,503,581 | null | comment | kbart | 1,460,721,344 | It was my uncle, not father. There's no way to know for fact as everything was done in secrecy and many archives were destroyed or are still locked in Russia, but I guess that the list of "expendables" were present for such cases. Some facts that highlights suspicion: 1) he was young (19-20 yo) and recently back from mandatory service in army, so still high in reserve list 2) he was not a member of Communist party, nor had any influential relatives 3) he was working as a truck driver and did not have any other qualifications, so easily replaceable. The fact that he had young children probably didn't bother anybody or made through bureaucratic apparatus in time. According to various sources, few to several thousands of Lithuanians were taken to Chernobyl during few years time (the exact numbers probably will never be known, as most other numbers regarding this disaster) and many of them were not so lucky and had to work inside/near the reactor building itself, so it's hard to speculate what could have been. Though the fact that he was taken with such haste, only few hours after the meltdown, might suggest that they had an emergency for drivers.<p><i>"they wouldn't need to go all the way to another region to get them"</i><p>It was a common practice for Soviets to get people from far regions to do dirty jobs, because it's easier to hide nasty deeds this way and prevent rumors from spreading. As an example, most of Lithuanians served in far regions of Siberia while at the same time most of soldiers stationed here were from Mongolia and the like. | null | 11,503,418 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

11,503,582 | null | comment | rprospero | 1,460,721,361 | Hello, I'm that guy who voluntarily writes a mixture of Python and Haskell in his day job.<p>For me, it's about recognizing the strengths in both languages. You mentioned Python having "one or two cool libraries", but that's quite an understatement if you're doing any sort of numerical work. NumPy and SciPy are incredibly powerful, fast, and consistent. While hMatrix and Accelerate are both wonderful packages and have made some great progress, they don't have nearly the community support that Numpy does.<p>On the reverse side, when I'm dealing with any sort of interactive system (e.g. Web Scraper or Motor Controller), I immediately reach for Haskell, since it makes those kinds of applications so much easier.<p>For me it's mostly about just finding the right tool for the job. And trying to avoid any job where the right tool is Fortran. | null | 11,503,289 | null | [

Marginal increments in IT can be worth BILLIONS, marginal increments in Biotech aren't worth the paper they are printed on (that may be a bit of an exaggeration), and the biggest reason is cost to get into market. IT has low costs if any to enter a market place, except in the rare exceptions where the FCC is involved, the average cost to get a drug to market is something like $500MM and YEARS of regulatory approval. It's not worth investing in a marginal increment, you invest in moonshots and as you collect more data and better understand how the drug performs to either continue to invest (if it remains promising) or shelve it if it only looks marginally better.<p>While the market analysis needs to happen it is much less rigorous than IT startups. Hey 100,000 people die every year from infections acquired in hospitals, great lemme call around see what hospitals are willing to pay and sell to them. Lets not forget the other 600,000 that acquire infections from hospitals, for which under the Affordable Care Act the hospital has to pay for. Great sounds like I have a business as long as my product doesn't surpass a certain price threshold. In biotech you are either a billion dollars or a bust, there is no in-between because new products cost so much you have to have those high returns.<p>Not many IT startups NEED $500MM just to get their first sale. | null | 11,497,282 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

11,503,662 | null | comment | TomFrost | 1,460,722,411 | If the goal is solely Docker images with a standard size in the 20-40MB range, this can be achieved without additional tooling. After switching our development and deployment flow to docker, my team quickly tired of the 200-400MB images that seemed to be accepted as commonplace. We started basing our containers on alpine (essentially, busybox with a package manager) or alpine derivatives, and dropped into that target size immediately. Spinning up 8-10 microservices locally for a full frontend development stack is a shockingly better experience when that involves a 200MB download rather than a 2GB one.<p>This is in no way a negative commentary on Nix; it looks like an interesting solution to a well-known problem. | null | 11,502,989 | null | [

Lovely bit of kit, but after a few days had me wanting to throw it out of the window. The reason was the power saving mode. The monitor is supposed to have the ability to "intelligently" understand you are not using it, switch the screen off and go into a sleep mode. All good and well until one discovers that the specific combination of graphics card, multiple monitor setup and video connectors one is using confuses the poor beast and it will happily shut your monitor down while you are actively using it.<p>The kicker that was driving me crazy was, of course, there is no way to disable this particular functionality! | null | 11,501,952 | null | [
