FWIW, in a file with 1,000,000 lines, the best-of-3 time for "less filename > /dev/null" is:

2.508u 0.152s 0:02.66 99.6%	0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

and the best-of-3 time for "less -N filename > /dev/null" is:

2.568u 0.159s 0:02.73 99.2%	0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

That is, it doesn't seem like printing sequential is the limiting factor in performance.

This is with "less 458", "Copyright (C) 1984-2012". I downloaded and compiled stock 487 and the best-of-3 times went up to 0:02.94 for both cases.

Checking the source code, it does not appear to use knowledge of the previous output index in order to save time. The relevant code is:

static int
iprint_linenum(num)
LINENUM num;

char buf[INT_STRLEN_BOUND(num)];

linenumtoa(num, buf);
putstr(buf);
return ((int) strlen(buf));
}

where

#define TYPE_TO_A_FUNC(funcname, type) \
void funcname(num, buf) \
type num; \
char *buf; \
{ \
int neg = (num < 0); \
char tbuf[INT_STRLEN_BOUND(num)+2]; \
register char *s = tbuf + sizeof(tbuf); \
if (neg) num = -num; \
*--s = '\0'; \
do { \

It only counts when random dude on the street is able to do it via then update OS menu option.

Being possible by people with technical skills to replace firmware doesn't count on my book.

I care about the regular dudes buying regular pre-pay phones that they can afford.
I'd recommend trying meditation, since it is simply training your mind to introspect so you may recognize these moments of stress and let them go with minimal effort.

But what you do can also be seen as a form of meditation, since it is also an intentional taking-your-mind-off-things.
> Not really. A safe, efficient and future-proof binary format is not a simple problem to solve.

Neither is a safe, efficient, and future-proof text format. If you use an existing text serialization, you now have effectively two parsers instead of one.

I had the idea a while back for a project that would involve something similar to this, but for sewing patterns to make stuffed animals. It seems like you could do that with this with maybe some minimal modifications.

I believe that until recently neither Azure or AWS had a datacenter in the UK. Cutting undersea cables between the UK and the US / Europe / Ireland could have some serious consequences in the UK, at the very least on the economy, possibly on its infrastructure (payment systems, communications, etc).

But aren't terrestrial cables more vulnerables than undersea cables? Cutting undersea cables require sophisticated technologies. Cutting terrestrial cables just requires a local guy with a map and some TNT. It's impossible to protect thousands of km of cables.
Its like flushable golf balls, anyone can write flushable on some packaging and sell it!

There is a large class of products that don't really need any sort of inventory management; just-in-time manufacturing allows companies to respond immediately to demand, and not have to worry about managing more than a small buffer stock.

It seems like in this monetary environment solutions are thus:

Individuals can get lines of credit issued against their homes or reverse mortgages. Also there's a plethora of subprime debt individuals can acquire and default on ranging from autos to ones education.

Companies can keep issuing bonds so that on some end of the food chain, central banks can keep purchasing them.

Governments can keep issuing bonds, even at negative interest rates, central banks can keep purchasing them.

If it isn't clear, this can go on forever and will always end well.
When was this / which vendor was this? My barebones Fidelity 401k plan which only gave me 12 funds to choose from had a S&P500 fund with an expense ratio of ~0.2% iirc. (I don't remember what sort of fees there were in the overall 401k account though)

Putin style politics, blackmailing like the Mafia. Sadly Trump starts to imitate this.
It sounds like you had a crappy 401k. The one we had when my work offered one had a large number of funds available, with expense ratios close to Vanguard's. Ours was through Fidelity.
> how could you possibly know that average person will live 10 years longer

This is not really what happened though, people who made it to working age generally did not live that much longer.
Windows 10 now also has night light setting specifically to reduce blue light emitted from the screen and better sleep! With just press of a button it would automatically go to "night light" mode from sunset to sunrise. Very cool. I think iOS also has similar setting. Plus there are lot of "blue light" blocking screen protectors out there but most of them are from China and hard to tell which one really works.
yes the limitation of 401k plan fund choices seems very arbitrary to me. Perhaps a result of lobbying, or a remnant of the past when such limitations were a good call?
The GPU passthrough is awesome.

For the edge cases you describe, including isolating drivers and explaining the precise cause, an itemized diff would make more sense.

Me too, it also saddens me that many aren't aware of Inferno OS and always think Plan 9 was the end of the line, when that status actually belongs to Inferno OS.

What are you talking about?

The prevailing wage law of the H1B is only $60k, and these are for the best and brightest workers our mega corps need, due to a lack of qualified US workers.

So obviously, $50k is more than adequate. /s
Speaking of: Does anyone know a good glorified tutorial on machine learning?
Actually no you don’t need any such model. Given the map of exposure areas, one can simply compare with other non exposure areas with similar variables for all other major risks
Water from a properly-functioning bidet certainly does provide water and water abrasion, since the pressure is far higher than an open pipe. In fact, if a bidet is activated full-blast without someone on it, it will typically reach the ceiling. Furthermore, almost all detergents will damage the anus, so that is not something desirable for this application; even those detergents that work for some people will cause excessive dryness of the skin for others.

If one is willing to use their hand to provide abrasion, merely poured water enables far superior waste removal than toilet paper. This can easily be tested by using swabs and agar plates, which I did in my childhood to my own satisfaction; I'd be surprised if peer-reviewed experiments haven't yet confirmed this, but I haven't looked for them either.
> Never get in bed and try to sleep because “it’s bedtime”. Only get in bed when you are dying to go to bed

This is in contrary to my belief. I have insomnia for many years and I thought one of the reason was because I never had a regular schedule for sleep. Over the years I can only sleep when I am dying to go to bed. Yet, most of the days, I just can't sleep.

Anyway, would definitely try out the advice
About three months ago, I started taking Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate 500mg, equivalent to elemental magnesium 100mg, at a dose of twelve capsules a day for three weeks, then dropping back to six capsules a day as a maintenance dose. Changed my life. I'm calmer, more emotionally resilient, I sleep better and longer and when I want. My interactions are others go much more how I'd like most of the time: that is, I feel I'm being a reasonable person.

I recently started taking 8000IU of Vitamin D per day, as I realise I hardly ever spend any time in the sun. This, along with the magnesium, seems to have made my emotional roller coaster and suicidal ideation completely evaporate.

I also regularly take zinc, C, lipoic acid.

Why will the world be so much worse off at 400 trillion instead of 70 trillion?

Presumably “the world” will have many many more folks making more money by then given the rates of economic growth in third world countries. 10B people can cover 400T in 10 years paying just $10 a day.

I wish you the best, but you're just making a bunch of excuses.

You say it's risky and difficult to chase jobs elsewhere. Yet you claim to be better off than the average American while chasing entry level jobs.

If anything this makes you more mobile than the average American.

Use this to your advantage instead of holding out for one of a dwindling number of jobs in some rural town. Because even if you get one, what's your exit strategy if you lose it? By your own account your position seems to be ripe for elimination.

Holding out seems more risky than moving on. Don't move to the Bay area or manhattan. The rest of the country is not representative of this article.

But that's just my take on it. Best of luck to you.
I'm too embarrassed to comment.

Have you tried magnesium amino acid chelate or magnesium citrate. I find I can take huge doses of these with no problems, but magnesium oxide ain't so great.
Related to this is binary coded decimal [1]: let each nibble (4 bits) of your integer represent a decimal digit 0-9. Then do your arithmetic in binary, but after each operation run a special CPU instruction to "correct" the result to what it should be in decimal.

You can have a "contract of the generations", where the younger generation finances the pensions of the older generation through social security payments.

Many countries do it like that.

Why are defined benefit plans always unaffordable?

You don’t want people’s retirements to be affected by the value of their investment at the moment of withdrawal. Instead you want the benefit to incorporate the expected value at retirement of the investment over the long run.

The problem with many pensions is that the businesses themselves supporting them essentially went belly up as competition, technology and investors took their toll.
That was almost 15 years ago, so I'd have to do some digging to name names. On the whole, perhaps things have gotten better since then.

It is still a thing though. Father-in-law had most of his stuff at Edward Jones. Some of their fees put mine to shame:

https://www.edwardjones.com/planfees/fees-compensation/mutua...

edit: Most of his had different titles, but their largest holdings were the same handful of stocks. We overlaid the S&P 500 on top of most of them--practically identical performance from time of inception!
Meanwhile, AP has discontinued its text-only breaking news page.
Not sure what you mean. Retirees don't create jobs. They just get money handed to them monthly as promised by the pension formula decided decades ago. (that money is supposed to come from taxes on active workers's salaries)

The whole system collapse when taxes are not enough to cover the pensions that were promised. It's a ponzi scheme.
I remember Karnaugh diagrams fondly; they were pretty much the first thing covered in my circuit design class which really made sense - and gave me the boost I needed to try to wrap my head around the rest of the curriculum, too.

Haven't designed any circuits in my career, but have on occasion used them to simplify my horribly inelegant boolean expressions before committing them to Siemens' S7 SCL.
WW2 ended due to them basically

I don't think you'll find many historians arguing for this point. By the time the US nuked Japanese, the war in Europe was already over, and Japanese were preparing to surrender anyway. Allies had more than enough conventional firepower to destroy Japanese cities, as shown by a single bombing of Tokyo in March 1945, which had casualty toll close to Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.

Why does the Facebook app consume so much space?
Factually incorrect article - fails to mention the Chinese at all, and credits America with the invention of soft toilet paper.

"From the records of the Imperial Bureau of Supplies of that same year [1398], it was also recorded that for the Hongwu Emperor's imperial family alone, there were 15,000 sheets of special soft-fabric toilet paper made, and each sheet of toilet paper was even perfumed."
So you're saying that they were offering a pension with the expectation that most people would die before they could claim it?

Not so much a dispute as a clarification...
'Robotics' solutions are what new projects are

It's funny: a few years ago in the FO we heard a rumour that the bank was starting work on robotics, and were curious and some of my colleagues were keen to get involved. Robots! We didn't realise at the time that "robotics" is the word BO use to mean "any sort of automation, whatsoever". Even VBA. Banks are now trying to recruit graduates with the promise of working on "robotics", ho ho ho.

But does auto-correct applies to all keyboard inputs (including command lines) or just in office-like applications?

No, some employers just pay in whether you do or not, and your contribution doesn't in any way change theirs.
It would be good to document how it handles signals that it receives wrt how the child process will see them.
As a language, for learning purposes, no not really. It is very general purpose and doesn't bring any notable concepts to the table that aren't more clearly expressed in other languages. It also has some poor library design by modern standards and can be confusing because it hasn't thrown out the old stuff along the way so the surface area is huge and it's hard for a newcomer to know what not to use.

It is worth learning the JVM as a runtime which is essential to many businesses and the maven build infrastructure as the progenitor of most modern build and dependency management systems.

If you want some suggestions from a purely learning point of view, for OO try smalltalk, for FP try haskell, for systems programming try rust, for the JVM try scala.

From a commercial point of view Java might be worth it. It's easy, reasonably well compensated, and ubiquitous enough that there will be plenty of work in Java for at least the next 30 years.
The goal is to get the news with as little markup as possible.

Then use UNIX filters to transform it into the format one prefers.

For example, NYT has a jsonp feed I have posted before.

# replace "world" with whatever NYT section you prefer
curl -o 1.jsonp https://static01.nyt.com/services/json/sectionfronts/world/index.jsonp

exec sed '/\"guid\" :/!d;s/\",//;s/.*\"//' 1.jsonp

Not every news site is the same of course. Using a list from journalism.org I took a small sampling of other news sites to see if they had, at a minimum, rss feeds. Most of them did but I stopped after about seven.

As an experiment to enjoy text-only versions of popular news websites, convert the rss to html for a "text-only" version.

The author of radare2 wrote a filter called "rss2html" some years ago and it works well enough for this experiment, so there is no work involved here.[1] rss2html will transform a page of rss xml to html, txt, etc. Build it with libcurl and it can fetch pages too.

curl -o 1.xml http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/rss.xml
rss2html 1.xml > 1.htm
browser file://1.htm

I routinely write custom filters. Even if a news site has no rss feed it is not difficult to produce csv or whatever format I need. However it is tedious. A one-time cost.
You need to be aware there's a problem to begin with.

I didn't know auto-correct was enabled by default on macOS, and would never have noticed that the OS was changing what I was typing without notifying me.
This is just a wrong view of Buddhism, it has nothing to do with "utilitarianism" or net suffering. Buddhists go to great lengths to avoid OTHER's sufferings, even if they themselves become worse off. Someone who truly adheres to the precepts would rather die than break them, you have several stories in Jataka tales and other folklore about this.

To say that it is intrinsically incompatible is just plain wrong, to give an example even the Buddha didn't meddle in political affairs. You just gave a really good example of people bending the rules to make them more aligned with what they believe is right. It's like saying that the Bible is not incompatible with machismo and patriarchy.
And on the topic of Buddhism, any "Buddhist" country who promotes violence is like IS to me, they just use a religion for self interest.
Would be interesting to see comparisons to the algorithms in that benchmark: https://github.com/miloyip/itoa-benchmark

In an earlier comment yesterday I remarked that it was good to avoid platform wars, but the MongoDB crew squandered the right to converse as peers with all the lies they told. Remember when they compared their speed writing to memory with Postgres speed writing to disk, as if this made them faster? Either they have fundamentally misunderstood what a database is, or they have deliberately acted in bad faith, which is it?

those pdfs give basically no inforamation at all. I certainly hope that the equity funds are actively managed (rather than passively managed, though tbh actively managed funds that are provided in a 401k plan are going to be crap about 95%+ of the time) if they are charging 1%+ in fees.

You forgot the "DOWNLOAD OUR APP FOR (whatever reason)" part, the app being a custom browser.

Though, apart from Ajax, HTML5 lacks a simple way to compose markup at the browser side, thereby avoiding full page reloads, like SGML had over 30 years ago ([2]). HTML imports are basically dead, and weren't great or widely used to begin with ([1]).

It takes something like 4 active workers to pay the pension of 1 current retiree. The proportion was fine after the baby boom, it's not anymore and it's getting worse.
In the end it’s a failure of education. If people could write properly they wouldn’t need autocorrect. Red squiggly lines are useful, but the actual correction should always be done manually by the user himself. Otherwise there’s no learning effect.

I always disable autocorrect on all my devices.
Autocorrect on a machine with a physical keyboard is incredibly surprising behaviour, particularly autocorrect that provides next to no visual feedback. Users shouldn't have to be this vigilant to prevent text from getting rewritten.
Oh yeah. I read the original question as 'I know about lex/yacc' or their modern equivalents flex/bison.. but I guess not. You can do a lot just with lex/flex, e.g. it's fine for small languages. Probably play around with that before attempting something insanely ambitious.

Also, I'm not sure how getting to the first-ever-designed language will help with anything, as you (OP) seem to be trying to do. Probably it's not being aware of lexical analysis (lex family) + parsing (yacc family) . There are some great books on those.

Before I start trusting random people running mesh nodes to provide me with internet service, I’ll need to see a clear demonstration of some kind of defensive posture for trusting traffic in such a situation.

After all, I think some lessons have been taught by free, open wi-fi offered by cafes.

Is SSL/TLS enough? Probably not for less technical people who can be socially engineered into trusting a malicious root CA because they just want internet.

Is TOR worth anything? Oh, I still feel like it’s pretty laughable that exit nodes operate on an honor system of not snooping on plain-text traffic. From where does one summon the mental gymnastics necessary to go along with that?

I’m not sure why I should just feel comfortable about letting any peer’s node handle my traffic. Feels like a handy-wavey “Brad & Chad” brogrammer move.
