I feel compelled to mention here that archives and libraries aren't the same thing.

Libraries do (or should do) collections management, whereby the librarians go through the records and find out which resources aren't being used and weed them. Ideally, if it isn't used, it's taking up space, and it's gone. This is balanced by acquisition, such that the net effect is a constant churn of what's there, so there shouldn't be much chance for anything to sit and molder where nobody knows where, let alone what, it is.

Archives don't do collections management of that sort. They do preservation, and ideally they never get rid of anything. Moldering (in a metaphorical, but hopefully not physical!) sense is very possible in an archive.
Hold on, let me just check the smoke alarm... no, wait, the siren is going off inside my head.

If the company has the money to pay you, then this kind of incompetency is a massive warning signal. If the founder had his act together, he'd be telling you very day why you hadn't been paid and he'd be checking who needs immediate cash to cover something urgent. Chain of eMails explaining payment problems? Blah blah blah PAY ME WHAT YOU OWE ME. He knew payday was coming.

If the company doesn't have the money to pay you, then this kind of incompetency is a massive warning signal. If the founder had his act together, he'd have told everyone as early as possible the situation, and people who wanted to take the risk of going unpaid for a while would at least know what they're getting into.

There is no way to spin this that the founder isn't either dangerously incompetent or is just using you like a sucker.

Interesting hypothetical; utterly and fantastically unlikely, to the point of requiring something like time travel to achieve, but interesting nonetheless.

My answer is that it should be ignored, not because I'm a huge gun fan (I'm somewhat indifferent to them myself) but because a system of laws requires a system of stable laws subject to revision through normal legal processes, not laws subject to sudden and discontinuous revision through a process of digging up new documents.

Law is many things. One of the things it is is predictability: People are presumed to know the law, so the law is presumed to be relatively stable over time. Changes are announced, go through a process, and are then enacted. They aren't sprung on people willy-nilly because someone looked behind the right filing cabinet.

Except it doesn't work that way. People didn't give up smoking in favour of
vaping, they do both. Smokers still smoke cigarettes, even though they use
e-cigarettes. About the only larger group that uses e-cigarettes instead of
traditional tobacco is teenagers, since they can't legally buy tobacco.
I agree with everything you say here, especially about the manuscripts, except that it isn't true that "nobody uses it anymore." AFAICT, it's still the most popular English Bible by a wide margin.

The KJV isn't perfect, and we do have better manuscripts now, but it's still a very popular Bible translation worldwide.

Yes, you're talking about the "KJV-Only" movement adopted by some primitive Baptists and other fundamentalist sects.

There's a big difference between KJV-onlyism and preferring the KJV over other translations. The former insists something that the KJV translators themselves never did: that the KJV is the only legitimate Bible translation, and specially favoured and preserved by God over other translations.

Much of the technology in US infrastructure hasn't been updated in over 100 years
It looks like development has slowed down dramatically. In my view, a project which has a large community behind it is far preferable to something which is theoretically superior but new and small, because in the long run, long-lived projects tend to address new use cases (ie they evolve), so they don't paint you into a corner, unlike a wonderful-sounding idea whose author seemingly gets bored of it after 12 months.

Personally it is for this reason that I'm going with zeromq, even though I know it has tight-coupling downsides. I was tempted by nanomsg but even this seems to be losing momentum somewhat (please feel free to correct me if the last statement is incorrect).

Communicating via the C ABI is as safe as coding in C in the first place.

Possibly less as there's a pretty high chance to get the ownership rules wrong on the callee side in a way which'll fault (because the callee will have freed the structure) rather than "just" leak memory (because the caller will not send the structure back for deallocation).

Example: https://blog.filippo.io/building-python-modules-with-go-1-5/ in the third snippet (AddDot) the author returns a Go string which may (will?) be freed next time the GC runs[0] regardless of the caller still using it.

In the past, the increase of transistor count and density meant that a CPU could be designed to run at a higher frequency and have cleverer circuitry which allowed it to do more each cycle. This is the source of the misconception that Moore's Law is directly tied to performance.

Looking at a modern Intel chip, the CPU cores take about 30% of the area, with the rest of the transistors spent elsewhere (L3 cache, integrated graphics, system and memory controllers).

I can't talk for the US but in Europe at least, the image of blue collar workers working really long hours is more of a XIX century cliche. The vast majority of blue collar workers today work fixed hours, usually 35-38 hours a week, which is ample time to raise kids. It's not a matter of time spent. White collar workers are the one doing very long hours in modern societies. Though their kids somehow seem to still get better parenting.

> The essay has a good point but is not fully correct.

The essay's point is that "fully correct" is a meaningless concept without knowing the goal.

For example, you modified the goal to find the top k elements, and described the standard heap selection method.

Even there, you are not "fully correct". The last time I implemented it was in a situation where I knew that the values were 0.0<=x<=1.0 and where there could be many 1.0 values. If the minimum value in the heap were ever 1.0 then the search could stop, giving sublinear time for some cases.

The essay's point was, find out more of what's needed before answering the question, because in reality few people really need that specific question answered.
If you're worried about Huawei Phones, don't use ones with their EMUI ROM. Considering the 6P has been developed and is sold by Google, I trust that it is as safe to use (if not safer) than most mainstream devices. It is beyond doubt that google's engineers and lawyers have checked everything before even partnering with Huawei, since discovering any backdoor would be a huge lawsuit on their own door.
To be fair, one of the ways they achieved this is by using off-heap memory which needs to be handled in a way similar to how a C allocator would handle it.

Fun Game! really liked the idea
For those who want a bit more than "we trade bandwidth for latency" and a bit less than a 43-page paper (not to discourage anyone, it's very well-written):

In a binary-heap ("Eytzinger") layout, the next node to consider is at either index (2i + 1) or (2i + 2). That means you can perfectly predict the next cache line to load. This continues to be true up to four iterations in advance (assuming proper alignment, for 4-byte data with 64-byte cache lines, holding 16 values each). Speculative execution will begin these loads early, regardless of whether the branch prediction is ultimately successful. A branch-free algorithm can do the same with explicit prefetch instructions to avoid the pipeline stalls of mis-prediction. However, in each cache line, you only look at one value (1/16th of the data transferred).

You can attempt to pack the data for several iterations into a single cache line to increase utilization. However, because a complete binary tree has 2^n - 1 values (i.e., because it is odd), there are some small inefficiencies. For example, four iterations of a binary search require (1 + 2 + 4 + 8) = 15 possible values, of which you will look at four (1/4 of the data transferred, given the same 16-element cache line size). But either you include an extra element and thus sometimes need 5 comparisons instead of 4 (B-tree algorithm), or you mis-align the subtrees with cache line boundaries (van Emde Boas algorithm), or you waste space by only putting 15 values in a cache line (not tested). And you can't issue the load for the next cache line until the current subtree search completes.

Even though the latter approaches have up to four times better utilization of the data they load, as long as the bandwidth-delay product is at least 4 cache lines (i.e., you can issue 4 requests in parallel without slowing any of them down), the Eytzinger approach will win. They measured the bandwidth-delay product at 4.7 on their machine, and overall algorithm comparisons seem to be consistent across over 100 different CPUs.

If the data fits in L2 cache (2^16 values), a branchless prefetching algorithm on a simple sorted array is still slightly faster than using the Eytzinger ordering, just because of constant factors. The difference is small (15%ish on average, estimating from the plots).

Some broken CPUs (Phenom II, Celeron J1900, E3-1230) seem to cause large slowdowns when prefetching invalid addresses. Masking the address fixes the problem with no measurable performance impact on non-broken CPUs.

Based on my entirely anecdotal evidence:

* I know one smoker who also vapes

* I know one smoker who switched to vaping before going back to smoking because he found it hard to limit his vaping (because number of cigarettes is easier to measure)

* I know several vapers who either don't smoke or gave up smoking in favour of vaping

* I know several smokers who aren't interested in vaping
