The key takeway is there is a performance cost to converting between []byte and string and minimizing the number of conversions would be a reasonably low-hanging fruit in looking for performance optimizations.

Which is unfortunate because cannabis edibles are the most accessible way to consume it in privacy and without the odor or smokey exhaust.

There is research on THC-infused drinks that match the alcoholic beverage experience in time-to-inebriation and the duration of inebriation. Current methods of cannabis consumption stretch the experience out over a long period, which naturally is unfeasible for restaurant venues and the like.

The Canadian side of Niagara Falls is largely a wine tourist/falls tourist trap and St Catherine's and Hamilton are just areas you drive through to get from Toronto to Niagara Falls, how do you see development in these areas being spurred?

That's an interesting statement considering the rules in place had full bipartisan support when they were enacted, I don't buy that it is exclusive to 'the right wing.'

We do now.

Separating children from the adults they are accompanied by is a long-standing practice to prevent human trafficking and there are valid reasons for it that both sides of the aisle support, the difference is that ICE is now treating it as a criminal act requiring the aforementioned remanding into state custody while the details are sorted out.

If there is an increase of "asylum seekers" then the time to process them will similarly increase, and as such children with their "families" are in state custody for a similarly increased amount of time.

They are not treated like drug dealers, thrown to the ground and hand-cuffed and tossed into the back of a truck/cruiser. The asylum process is long and drawn out and involves constant communication where personnel resources permit (and like all government agencies they are understaffed and underfunded.)

Psychologically torture? Once their asylum claim has been processed, they are reunited with their parents. Either it is declined and they are deported with their parents, or they are accepted and provided temporary asylum with their parents.

The asylum process takes a lengthy indeterminate period of time and their parents choose to apply for asylum -- repeat: their parents are informed of this and they make an informed choice to be placed into custody while this process occurs. They always have the choice to voluntarily be deported with their children back to their country of origin.

Attempting to illegally enter the US is a crime, if that wasn't self-evident enough. Criminals are placed into custody and children are not allowed to be placed into custody with the adults they arrived with.

Frequently, the actual time-to-pick-up does not match the predicted time-to-pick-up. It's effectively the proposed system -- you have to wait longer. Now they want to make you wait even longer.

Why not offer better service for higher prices (instead of the reverse)? Getting service from a "super" tier of drivers, ones that have:

* a history of ON TIME pick-ups

* fluent spoken English

* straightforward following of GPS directions

* GUARANTEED air-conditioning

* non-smoking

* quiet not talking loudly on the phone

* not a POS car with destroyed vehicle suspension/shock absorbers and trashed seating

It certainly makes sense that those societal structures would be oriented towards families -- throughout history (and in modernity), families have always been the atom of democracy. The sanctity of individuality is a relatively new phenomenon and it is weak when compared to the sanctity of families.

Poverty is overwhelmingly felt by single folks and children of single folks -- especially in communities of color. Whether you're raised in a two-parent household is the #1 indicator of whether a child of color succeeds in life.

The traditional family has (and always will) be the strongest institution for children.

Not only that but the #1 source of violence and terror in the world are single males, marriage overwhelmingly acts as the cornerstone of the civilizing process for both men and women.

I do like the idea of explicit non-nil pointers. While I have refactored code to explicitly exclude all uses of pointers unless absolutely necessary and (as mentioned in the article) studiously check for nil when receiving interfaces and pointers, it feels hacky as hell. Non-nil pointers would bring us halfway to a better place IMHO.

npm packages are interesting in that they run both in-browser and in-server -- it stands to reason that the in-browser attack surface is far larger and its impact would be rarely noticed by users (since they're already accustomed to websites taking up inordinate amount of resources.)

AMD's SP3 (Epyc) offerings address the limited capacity. Compared to Intel's current offerings, they are much more cost-competitive in terms of density.

Ah, the DDR4/DIMM Optane models are not yet publicly available (which should significantly bring us closer to parity with memory latency), and I was referring to the Optane NVMe drives being compatible with AMD systems.

It is very exciting to see Optane competitive with conventional NVMe drives -- this is something that Intel got right early and their exploration into DIMM-socketed Optane drives is similarly exciting.

It has already been established that for most consumer workloads, the latency differences between memory and Optane is negligible. This article shows that heavy-duty workloads (ie: high-traffic memcached clusters) can be accommodated by Optane and NVMe too. Clusters of 500K IOPS drives can take us most of the way there.

I don't want to get all /r/hailcorporate but Optane drives are great products and (more importantly) you can run them on AMD platforms (ie: SP3) too. Granted, NVMe drives bring the fight and they're much more cost competitive at scale, but that will change soon.

Are you referring to the 17 minutes per hour of actual gameplay, the 21 minutes of rambling commentary/sports celebrity gossip, or the 22 minutes of ad spots?

Perhaps but car manufacturers will point fingers at higher sulfur content in lower-graded diesel. Other issues like fuel filters and water traps performing sub-optimally (due to age or lack of replacement/maintenance) can introduce contaminants that further exacerbate the situation, surely there are sensors for this.

Or he's fallen into the trap that popularity (and popularity=revenue) is an adequate signal for quality, if third-party sellers are bringing in adequate sales loads then there's nothing to fix.

I wouldn't mind latency being thrown into the typical Mbps marketing jargon, at least it will get some attention (which has sorely been lacking).

If we can open up these rules while radically increasing enforcement of quality of service then this might be a good thing. It might be good to replace "up to 75Mbps" with "guaranteed 50-75Mbps and 5-15ms ping to nearest public internet junction, 95% of the time during peak hours." I'm sure some folks might even sign onto world-beating five-nines performance guarantees too.

But this is probably just a dream and we'll see the ugly product differentiation you're describing.

It is a combination of cost and populism, where younger people are attracted to companies that pander to them and they are willing to accept less pay for more work. It's a fascinating phenomenon and to see identity politics enter this situation is equally fascinating.

Cognitive dissonance of this level has no place in the Canadian government, she clearly lacks any interest in deriving insight from his policies. Rather than trying to understand what is going on, she retreats to ideological blindness.

This mindset is endemic in the Canadian government and it greatly saddens me. I can only hope things get better and sanity returns to Canadian parliament.

That's a typo.

Sure, just make the process much more restrictive. The idea is to take in the best, not help the most vulnerable.

Yes, the article mentions that its siblings includes RocksDB. There are already outsized (north of 5TB) embedded databases geared towards high-IOPS storage (ie: NVMe) and this project serves to establish C#/.NET Core as a platform to build similarly-specced analytics products.

I'm not the parent commenter but, regardless of the uselessness of such a job (as an analyst, producing reports of negligible value or whose value is ignored, or as a developer, producing apps that produce such reports for those analysts), you are still paid well enough to not complain/look elsewhere and the experience is useful for your next job.

There is a difference between the groups that advocate for generous social welfare programs and steep progressive taxation, and the groups that advocate for radical societal shifts justified by cultural/class Marxism.

The former are left and the latter are far left, and (more to the point) the former are representative of the general population while the latter a dangerous minority within an already-dangerous minority.

Popularity is not a measure of validity.

To catch criminals trying to escape the long arm of the law.

There is wide and abundant distinction that the left seems to willfully ignore with immense effort -- the distinction between legal and illegal immigrants. The argument was never anti-immigration, it was always anti-illegal immigration and anti-unrestrained immigration.

This nuance is important.

Because the state-owned Chinese ODMs/OEMs have a comprehensive history of installing malware/spyware on devices branded for internal (Chinese consumer/commercial) consumption, and when the same devices are exported they may still have this malware/spyware.

The US insists on ensuring these devices are free of Chinese malware/spyware and this includes complete technical specifications (which also includes source code). The Chinese always tell them to pound sand and either buy their products or don't.

It should be noted that these devices are guaranteed to find their way around the world (usually via consumers bringing it on their person or exported to other regional markets) and they are frequently used (by multiple parties) for corporate data exfiltration. Then again the US intelligence agencies regularly practice this around the world as a matter of policy, utilizing their relationships with global cargo services to ensure their own malware/spyware finds its way around the globe.
