Of course, in a thread about closed source software spying on users there's going to be a bit more people arguing the points of the former.

Drivers: Linux usually supports almost everything, there was even a build of Fedora for the Nexus 7.

UI: KDE especially has very good touch screen support, including a thing that automatically changes system UI when you connect a mouse, or keyboard, or so on, and switches between phone style, tablet style, desktop with touch, and desktop style on the fly. (Essentially Microsoft’s Continuum) Since 2012.

I used KDE Plasma Active on my Nexus 7 for some time, actually.

But to be fair, for most investors, "buy a specific stock" (SPY, other ETFs for diversification) should be all they ever do when it comes to investing. Otherwise they're probably setting themselves up for failure.

Most programming is about experience these days ("make this webapp and connect it to a DB"). If someone can demonstrate the basics in a bootcamp, don't see how they couldn't learn on the job and after work by stackoverflowing what they haven't learned yet.
A mezzanine is, by definition, a floor offset a non-integral number of storeys from the floors around it; a floor existing at a fractional floor number, in other words. A mezzanine "between the first and second floor" (in american parlance) would have a floor offset of 0.5 (or possibly ranging from 0.3 to 0.7, since mezzanines usually involve complex arrangements of stairs and landings.)
But there are extinctions, which is kind of like losing. But more importantly there are technologies that become widespread (VHS) and those that never do (BetaMax) and understanding the successful technology as the area where additional investment is merited is often, if imprecisely, called the "winning" technology.

I can absolutely guarantee that my ending question will have a meaningful answer, either one or none of these systems will be the one that everyone uses, the other two will be the "niche" ones that hardly anybody uses (and I say this as a diehard Amiga fan boy). And as much as I might dislike the choice the market makes, I understand that once critical mass is achieved, it becomes economically unviable to continue investing in the "losing" technology.

Parents spying on their children's communications seems hard to reconcile with the principles in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child[1] which most countries are signatories to, in particular articles 13 and 16:

"Recognizing that the United Nations has, in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in the International Covenants on Human Rights, proclaimed and agreed that everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth therein, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status,

...

"The child shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of the child's choice.

...

"No child shall be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his or her privacy, family, or correspondence, nor to unlawful attacks on his or her honour and reputation.

"The child has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks."

Given that Microsoft is a US company and the US is one of very few countries that hasn't ratified the convention[2], the concept of children having human rights might seem strange and foreign to them, but almost everywhere else, the state is (it seems to me) obligated to protect children from this kind of intrusion. (Maybe the EU could look into forcing them to release a special spyware-free edition...)

> We do have a convention

^ there, semantic issue resolved

specific languages might reuse the word array for abstracting underlying optimizations, but calling array an indexed object doesn't really change what an array is, no more than calling fish a dolphin change it from being a mammal

also, a pointer is a range only when paired with a type. otherwise a pointer is the index of a cell within the address space, and you want the address space zero starting not because it's convenient, but because otherwise you wouldn't be able to reference the last cell (since it overflow your word size) unless you do additional stuff to normalize the one starting address to zero back again

using cell deliberately because memory can be accessed by word, byte, page etc

anyway. what you call a contiguous memory area that have a type and can be navigated by offset? that's an array. well then, are you going to use the pointer convention for it or just have the +1 to be removed at every access operation?

and we're back again to what an array is. arbitrary memory constructs that are called array shouldn't be taken into account for they are the one causing the whole confusion we're into and we shouldn't be, because an array is an array and an indexed object is not

Yeah you're right and I can think of several cases, especially in legacy software, where this would be helpful. I just feel that this is one of those things that delegates responsibility to a lower level component due to a flaw in one above it, with the major benefit being that no code changes are required to implement the system, but coming with the cost of increased DB CPU and IO consumption.

> Good recruiters usually have good listings because hiring companies tend to disengage from recruiting agencies that don't act ethically.

In my experience, companies that (have to) use recruiters tend to have other broken practices as well. For example, the person in charge of recruiting agency relationships - usually a non-technical middle manager - may neither know nor care about sound or ethical results.
Do what you find enjoyable. There's little point fighting it. My personal threshold for addiction is "this is a mindless time filler keeping me away from other things I want to accomplish" which is enough for me to determine that the activity is only marginally more enjoyable than doing nothing.

How to be a star worker
A few thoughts of mine on how to excel in the work place... what do you guys think? Anything to add or change?
I'd encourage you to make it more incrementally advanced, i.e. progressively more difficult toward the latter third of the course.
There is the `load` method on SIMD types, e.g. [1]. This does an unaligned load from any place within an array, with bounds checks, i.e. the safest always-works method.

The bounds checking isn't that bad in and of itself, e.g. for f32x4 it is one bounds check for 4 elements and that bounds check is just a comparison and an extremely well-predicted branch. However, it definitely can be noticable and can inhibit other optimisations.

There's various routes this can be improved for sure, e.g.

- `unsafe` versions of the `load` that don't bounds-check and/or do aligned loads,

- functions that convert a `&[f32]` into a `&[f32x4]` (possibly with prefix and suffix &[f32]'s for unaligned left-overs),

- tweaking the set of optimisation passes the compiler runs to handle the patterns that occur in Rust better (I believe rustc just runs the default set of LLVM passes, which are likely more tuned to C/C++ than Rust, e.g. the IRCE pass[2] should help eliminate more bounds checks but isn't enabled by default because presumably C/C++ don't use bounds checks enough for it to be worth it)

- higher-level combinators/"algorithms" that avoid the need to do the loading/memory-management manually

Most programming languages were started by solo/independent developers, and some worked many years before anyone else helped. When you look for innovation, somewhere along the line it was an individual or solo dev work of creativity. Great teams are made up of self propelling independent/solo capable developers that can work in a team or parallel on separate products or services in a project.

This is pretty much it.

Thinking rationally, we can see pretty obviously that this is a case of using the past to predict the future. It's never guaranteed to work, but since it tends to be the common sentiment shared among so many investors, it does become somewhat self-perpetuating. At the end of the day, the market does move based on sentiments, after all.

However, it probably is a good idea to try to shield yourself from potential downsides when this sentiments changes in the future (and it certainly can).
There are also plenty of factors which can lead to overeating which are not caused by the hunger response (i.e. craving food based on learned behaviors, peer pressure, desire for a particular taste, boredom, depression, etc).

The grandparent's post seems highly suspect to me. Hunger no doubt plays a role in obesity among some individuals, but the ultimate determinant is how many calories are available to be processed versus how many are expended, regardless of why they have been ingested.

Well if you are a startup that makes profit or has a long runway that is well managed, it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks about you.

In boom times it can be a challenge to control burn for even well-run companies because the markets for things like employees or office space become distorted due to high demand. In bust times these expenses naturally go down, which helps well-run companies.
I agree with general sentiment but I don't think you should just cut down on someone as bad CEO. It is an extremely difficult task to revive a company that has lost its charm. Also most judgment on whether someone is a "Good CEO" or not is based on retrospect so you really never know. For example, Steve Jobs probably was seen as a bad CEO at some point in his career. Jeff Bezos could be also seen as a bad CEO because of how stressful the culture is at Amazon, but you can't really say that either because the company itself is doing pretty well. It's all subjective and contextual. But I agree with you that she's NOT an entrepreneur and that's a fact.

The difference between having a job in programming and having a career in programming is your grasp of the fundamentals of computing. This is because the ability of a person to learn new technologies and techniques is largely a function of their grasp of fundamentals. Fundamentals that bootcamps uniformly skip over in the interests of getting to experience faster.

In the abstract, it is of course fully, completely, and totally possible for a person to learn this independently or on the job. In practice, that is sufficiently rare as to not be worth discussing. Jobs where relational calculus is taught in the office are, I suspect, similarly rare.

Bootcamp skills are only useful so long as the person never needs to learn a different paradigm, learn significantly different technologies that require thinking differently, move into a different type of programming, or desires significant technical career advancement. Those things require a mix of fundamental knowledge and experience.

Does that make sense?

Similarly, I used to have a crippling envy of accomplished coders who were same age as me, which has long since evaporated.

Probably a symptom of ADHD, my life consists of many short distinct phases where I hyperfocus on an interest. Knitting, woodworking, programming, reading, etc. I do have several projects that I wish I could just dedicate a couple of months too, however!

Yeah, but I think that orclev was saying that you have a rule at the beginning that the element to the right of the index is important and then in ranges, the element to the right of the index is know longer important.

One way or the other, someone needs to know the same number of rules in order to understand how the indices work.

You could sweat off the heat from 1000 kcal/day of thermogenesis (or any other bodily exothermic reactions) in just 75 mL/hr of extra sweat. You're sweating about 25 mL/hr even when you don't notice you're sweating at all, and people in tropical climates can sweat as much as 3.5 L/hr. [1] I think that's plenty of budget, not to mention the additional budget available via regular convective and radiative heat transfer.

An technical interview question I would ask at Twitter
Twitter is a one to many communications platform, not a one to one platform.

The analogy holds because Twitter is 1:N, not 1:1. They are publishing information to a large amount of people that people use to educate and inform themselves.

And I already stated that doing this for every Twitter user is slimy. But retaining the record of how a politician has communicated with the public? That's in the public interest.
