That can be easier since you can add metrics to each individual field rather than url, allowing you to deprecate rarely used fields knowing what you'll break and alert only those who are using it of the change

These sorts of ideas are in a weird place. To many who are actively seeking better performance in our carbon reduction efforts, ideas like this could be seen as a threat to those efforts.

ATM, the debate is (1)"is the carbon-climate problem real?" and (2) "If so, how do we reduce carbon emissions?". "Climate Engineering" would complicate 2 a lot, probably splitting political support.

Politically, they open the door to continued or increased carbon emmissions today. They let us avoid addressing the "root cause." This is all regardless of timelines or progress. Just the existence of the idea in public debate might be enough to swing the opinion balance.

I imagine there are some who would ideally like to keep geoengineering as a quite Plan B so as not to disturb current efforts, but that's not really possible.

Overall, I think these ideas (if actually viable) will inevitably enter the discourse in the long term. We are already engineering in some sense. We have models and targets for both carbon and temperature. IE, we want to take control (to a small extent) of the climate. That's engineering, and engineers always look for more tools eventually.
Isn't that offset in this case because those connectors have elements protruding at many angles? You'd be weakening some and strengthening others, unless they were designed with a particular print orientation in mind.
Ah, don't worry - as others said, most of us did something similar at some point.
I'd even say that it's good to keep our profession strong by not playing the game of the business and HR people.

I always envy my friends in medicine. They have a strong union and stand together, pushing salaries for all of them and don't accept anyone above them who is not also from their profession (even if that's often hell of arrogant...).
That's true, but we still have old ICE powered cars for the moment, not really the case for EVs

On the meta-level, yes - one could say that I'm moderate on the matter at hand, but a zealot at the first derivative thereof :)

I sense a contrived 'calculus of epistemology' medium post in there... I'm sure it would do great on the upvotes on this site, too.
You're right if you're just starting out with no customers. But as soon as you get your first customer who is paying money and depending on your service, it's really important to use production-ready services.
Thanks. I did get the impression when I looked at it a year ago that it was hastily put together to fill a market demand. Good luck!

I disagree.

Firstly, maybe in the 60s, the idea of a black person being "British" would be scoffed at; today, with 3 or 4 generations of genetics here() and black people representing Britain at many levels, I don't think it would be a problem for most.

Secondly, 007 has always been an outsider and not a member of the Establishment - that's part of why he does things differently to the other 00s (although another commenter says that's not part of the books, only the films - I've not read them so can't say).

I've tried to:

1) give an bcc/perf example to check the need for tuning and verify its effect.

2) give code/docs/paper reference as an embedded link.

3) give a generic monitoring guideline at the start of a "chapter".

Seems like I've (at least partially) failed. I'll do better next time.
Of course, Charlie Higson has form there as well
Great to see the Scottish Government leading on renewable energy again. I was worried that adding over 30 million cars to the grid would cause problems but having looked into it it looks like it would add less than half a percentage point onto UK energy consumption at current utilisation rates.

I do wonder how it will affect the PCP market though as the future value of petrol and diesel cars will presumably become more difficult to predict?

Security.

A lot of security vulnerabilities in programs essentially boil down to your code being an ad-hoc parser for an (often implicit) language that's more powerful than you wanted. Turing-completeness is especially dangerous, and you want to avoid it if you don't actually need it.

This is a very insightful way of looking at things, and is a research area called langsec.

See:

- http://langsec.org/

- Papers and public talks of Meredith L. Patterson

- https://www.gwern.net/Turing-complete for some examples of unexpected Turing-completeness

That would be undefined as per the last sentence in the quote above, "If the value of the integral part cannot be represented by the integer type, the behavior is undefined." Same goes if p1 = 256.0 and your char type can store 0..255 only, although it would probably be easier to make educated guesses about the result in this case.
No Ruby support :<
That RO system is overpriced and undersized (3 gph). Buy better kits from wholesalers that use standard parts (50-200 gph) for the same price. (200 gph can be tankless and generate product water on-demand) http://www.wateranywhere.com/index.php?cPath=23_411
It is not just Matz but the community or core team as a whole. Look at every Python 3.x release, and then look at the release in Ruby, some of the bigger improvement were more like catch up. And since then there is little changes.

It is also rather unfortunate no company wants to invest in Ruby.
It's less about "programmable", it's more about "Turing-complete". Why this is important - see my other comment here for details: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15190110. TL;DR: langsec.
Any report of the perf (VS uWSGI for example) ?
But how do you know they are doing well because of it or despite it?

They're also in terms of a country more likely to live around cities, and much more densely since Tokyo is one of the, if not most, densely populated megacities.

I would say any economic power they do have is because of the density and progressiveness of their cities.

I don't really like virtualenv because you have to activate it to do anything and deactivate it if you want to go to another project or work on something unrelated. I'd much rather it work by the project directory so I don't have to worry about the activation part (this is why Node's package manager, for all its issues, is great: you install in a local folder unless you explicitly supply the -g flag). At least I should be able to install packages to my home directory.

There is no debate and no climate scientist sees this as a threat.
Reduction is needed but it won't cut it its too late for natural carbon sequestering at its normal pace.
People who work on reduction also often work on sequestering and if not do not see these efforts as a threat to any of their work.
GCC can't optimize out the mask (which is required to avoid UB if n may be equal or greater than 64):

#include <stdint.h>

uint64_t rol(uint64_t n, uint64_t val)
{
n &= 63;
return (val << n) | (val >> 64-n);
}

Compiles to

rol(unsigned long, unsigned long):
mov rcx, rdi
mov rax, rsi
and ecx, 63
rol rax, cl
ret

Clang and ICC do get it right.

Fixed the link to point to an older version. Thanks for letting me know.
This isn't compiling though; it's normalising. A heuristic like function size is useful when optimising a Turing-complete language since (a) we have to rely on some heuristic and (b) smaller binaries are generally more efficient, all else being equal, so we should avoid a size blow up regardless of what we're optimising for (speed, size, memory, etc.).

In the case of normalising a non-Turing-complete language, we (a) don't need any heuristics, beta-reduction is a complete and correct strategy and (b) things like the size of a function are useless at telling us whether we've reached a normal form. In fact, I would imagine that normal forms of real Dhall programs are generally much bigger than the programs themselves, since one of the main reasons to use a language like Dhall is to reduce repetition. Also, your heuristic is heavily dependent on the evaluation order: if we have a program like this:

(\x -> (\y -> x)) small-thing (duplicate 1000000 big-thing)

Then an evaluation strategy like call-by-name will never look at big-thing, since it evaluates the functions first and they discard it:

(\x -> (\y -> x)) small-thing (duplicate 1000000 big-thing)

(\y -> small-thing) (duplicate 1000000 big-thing)

small-thing

small-value

On the other hand, an evaluation strategy like call-by-value will evaluate big-thing, resulting in some arbitrarily large value (which may cause your heuristic to halt); then it will create 1000000 duplicates of that value (again, causing a size-based heuristic to halt); then finally it will evaluate the functions and discard the big, duplicate expression:

(\x -> (\y -> x)) small-thing (duplicate 1000000 big-thing)

(\x -> (\y -> x)) small-value (duplicate 1000000 big-thing)

(\x -> (\y -> x)) small-value (duplicate 1000000 big-value)

(\x -> (\y -> x)) small-value [big-value, big-value, ...]

(\y -> small-value) [big-value, big-value, ...]

small-value
Well, we could use SQL instead of GraphQL and would get much more freedom on the requests we could make. I supose that this was the idea of nicoJuicy.
The funny thing about Apple is that it gets a whole lot of promo from TV series and such already. This because Hollywood pretty much runs on their platform (probably thanks to getting the GUI out there, being the launch platform for Photoshop, and thus the whole industry learned Apple by rote memorization).

Thus whenever the script required a computer, phone or something similar in the shot, it will be an Apple product. Because that was what the staff was carrying.
The comment about cross and dot product just being given to you struck a chord with me. I had a hard time grokking them when they were introduced to me because I had no first-principle basis for making sense of why it makes sense. The lack of pictures didn't help either.

"Archaic hunter-gatherers were just another species of animal. Farmers saw themselves as the apex of creation. Scientists will upgrade us into gods"

I think you misunderstood the context I am really emphasizing on, here. it's not about whether this world consists of "true" atheists or not rather it is about when can at least a majority of us become agnostic about God and supernatural powers. As @tomhoward mentions below superstition may be a byproduct after all ,but I agree with your take on the dire requirement needed to mitigate the rampage of unscientific belief being capitalized by demagogs knowingly or unknowingly. Mere education seems to be working but personally, I can't withstand its dawdling struggle against gov funded conventions. What pragmatic steps do you think we can take to ramp up the processes of awareness without being ousted by the society or of that sorts.

From "Copy coalescing by graph recoloring" PLDI'08, which compared several SSA-based copy coalescing techniques (including an expensive, but optimal, ILP-based formulation) to
iterated register coalescing (TOPLAS 1996):

> We ran iterated register coalescing [11] (the state of the art in safe coalescing) on these graphs and compared the remaining costs and unsatisfied affinities: Iterated coalescing left 1.28 times more costs non-eliminated and 1.79 times more affinities unsatisfied than the algorithm presented in this paper. To put it another way, from
the cost iterated coalescing left, we were able to optimize 22.5% away (and 44.3% of the affinities). The optimum, as determined by the ILP, is given by 35.9% of the costs (and 51.9% of the affinites) iterated coalescing left over.

Could be interesting to combine it with things like https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/titles/content/... for analytic motion solutions and then just express the scene as expressions in terms of a global 'time' uniform.

For 'designed' things where you place a bunch of spheres manually, the complexity of the mesh is still about linear in the complexity of the expression, and an 'eval' of the expression probably would be helped by spatial optimization strategies such as a k-d tree or other such things usually used in scene structures. It seems best for things where the complexity emerges out of a lower order of complexity of the expression itself.

An analog (ha) can be made with how synth + sequenced music has two layers of complexity: an emergent one 'within' the sounds, and a designed one in the sequence.

I'm very much in favour of this, but the article alludes to one of the problems: the "long tail" of remote life.

The majority of the Scottish population lives in commuter range of Glasgow or Edinburgh. Here in Edinburgh we already have some hybrid buses so I can see a change to pure electric happening gradually as they become available. There's also no shortage of renewable energy to power the things.

But there are also some people who live remarkably remote lives in the Highlands and Islands. In the Highlands "range anxiety" is very real if your nearest large shop is 100 miles away. Whereas the islands may have limited generation capacity. I can see there being a range of exemptions for these circumstances, although once petrol cars start to become unusual the petrol pump prices will go up.
I moved from my last job (mostly C#/vba, front office finance)to a new role (python, data guy at hedge fund).

nice parallel options (I know several options exist but haven't found any of them as easy to get into as C# async/await, GIL is the problem i guess)

the django database layer doesn't do smart diffs in the same way as .net db projects (in .net it's smart enough to actually look at your code schema vs the database and work out how to roll forward/back, in django it's just using a combination of your code schema and a table describing what has and hasn't been rolled out yet, making everything a bit scarier and tougher if anything goes wrong. I dunno if SQLAlchemy does this.
