> I can't see anything that makes it non-conformant to build a rust compiler that dynamically allocates and places all of these on the heap, and is very non-constant time for local variable allocation.

This is such a ... pointless nitpick? https://www.xkcd.com/115/

I mean sure, the language doesn't require that compilers don't emit dumb code, it is just designed so that it's easy to emit good code. Something with fewer static guarantees like JS makes it much harder for compilers to emit that good code. I don't think there's any ground to contest that.

In any case, if you just replace "stack allocates" etc. with "semantically stack allocates", you get the language's guaranteed behaviour (although Rust has no ISO spec or anything, so you're probably going to say that even that isn't truly guaranteed).

Mean, it's fair that the language used is quite strong, but still, spelling literally everything out with every possible caveat is a great way to have bad pedagogy.

The AI could really help in due dilligence which is usually left for the youngest associates/trainees. By the nature of the work, you have to review and summarize thousands of documents. And as this process takes a long time, you cannot charge the standard rates to the client. Instead you work overtime without charging anything thus receiving no extra compensation.

I remember doing a due dilligence work during one of my summer internships, where my only job was to scan documents for any non-spanish documents. If the document was in spanish and contained no suspicious names, I closed it. If not, I printed it out. I had to do this for hours and hours in the night.

I think AI would be a great fit for such tasks.

Yes. _Bootstrap yourself to write an OS from scratch_. As it says at the very top: "How to write an operating system from scratch by reading hardware datasheets. In the real world, it works like that. You won't be able to consult Google for a quick answer." To write an Android clone, you'll need to understand how cellphones work, which involves reading hardware datasheets (and possibly signing a few dozen or so NDAs to obtain the information).
Something can be exponential in one context and polynomial in another. Asymptotic analysis is about the growth rate of a function in terms of some input variable. The results you get depend on which values you assume to be fixed while others vary. It is usually applied to analyze the runtime of a program in terms of the input size, which is the basis of classifying the runtime complexity, but that's not the only way you can do it.

If you have a sequence of programs with polynomial runtime, but which grows as N, N^2, N^3, N^4, ..., that's a textbook example of exponential growth. It is not generated by running a program on increasingly larger inputs, so there's nothing to be put in the exponential runtime complexity class, but it's exponential nonetheless.
Nitpick: "O(…) times" is nonsensical. O-notation applies only to behavior in the limit. Notably, O(some constant) is exactly equivalent to O(1).

You may want to try switching to non-scented soaps, laundry detergent and cleaners. Do you feel or have you been told she has sensory processing disorder? Another thing to try is talking to her, a lot. If you have a wife who works have her stay at home and work with your daughter on meeting milestones. Get whole genome sequencing done. See if she has any issues with methylation etc. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4203003/

Give her Dha and a multivitamin with more bioavailable forms of each vitamin or a whole food vitamin. My daughter will take these along with greens and fruit in smoothie form. Basically, do everything you can.
Well, sure. And so do fraudulent loan applications. But unlike them, email can be secured. IP addresses can be hidden using VPNs plus Tor. Identities can be hidden with unlinked personas. Messages can be encrypted in transit, and stored on encrypted disks.

So yeah, focusing on the email trail is silly. When the fact of the fraud is sitting in banking records. And furthermore, having a conspirator who knows the whole story is a huge fail.

OK I had to write things down to try and make sense of this. If anyone is like me, consider this loop that loops 5 times... maybe it will help?

defines = 0
tests = 0
increments = 0

defines++
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
tests++
increments++
}

console.log(`defines: ${defines}, tests: ${tests}, increments: ${increments}`)

For the sake of space I'm not going too copy nested versions of that, but imagine nesting it two and then three levels deep.

1 level will increment 5 (5^1) times
2 levels will increment 25 (5^2) times
3 levels will increment 125 (5^3) times

More interesting are the number of definitions and tests:

levels tests defines
1 15 1
2 30 6
3 155 31

But I don't know is how the interpreter works and whether it has tricks to shrink those numbers; those just reflect my naive mental model of how things work.
This article is critical of the "cult" of the bill of rights. But look at China the other day and how their constitution was changed on a whim. Look at Russia which has Putin despite of a fairly modern and standard constitution.

Constitutions and laws are mere pieces of paper until the society within which they live endow them with sacred status. Without the "cult" and the moral indignation at violations surely civil liberties would erode at a much faster rate. As another comment says "Unfortunately, pretty much all of the BoR is regularly under attack." If the BoR didn't have the same nearly religious status one of those attacks would have succeeded by now.

Oh god, I'm not the only one who has this? I had trouble sleeping in a room my parents made for me and they wouldn't believe me when I said the room is too hot. If it's like 74F or above or so I can't sleep and I'll just continually wake up with that suffocating feeling.

Is there a name for this? It doesn't seem normal and I'm dreading it come summer in a city with no AC...

I'll sleep with a very light sheet up to around 25c.

I keep my house at around 22c during the Winter. I'll match a light sheet with a light blanket at that point as it gets chillier randomly during the season.

I dislike air currents flowing across my skin while I'm trying to sleep, unless it's crazy hot (the central air system moving air around is enough to annoy me while I'm trying to sleep, without a cover).
Exhibit A: Donald J Trump. Very high number of civil judgements against him (over 3000), indicating a highly unreliable person prone to con-artistry. While not having been criminally convicted (although he settled the TrumpU fraud case), the sheer weight of the judgements suggests with high confidence he is not to be trusted.

Do you think stories about the thousands of judgements against him should have been delisted from the public prior to the election? I'd argue they are materially relevant to voters. The same goes for his tax returns, and the private financial dealings of political candidates.

IMHO, if you run for public office, you deliberate opt-in to public scrutiny of your private financial and civil court history.

It's really unfortunate how much of database technology requires manual tweaking, what is sensible and optimized should be the default behavior. Obviously for ALTER statements reordering of columns could mean a huge table rewrite, but there'd still be ways to handle it. On table create, though, you really should have to specify a manual override in order to prevent the DB from automatically performing these kind of obvious optimizations, IMO.

On a side note, I've started to hear more buzz around this, but when we can have obvious indexing, sharding, caching, and query planning handled by ML...we will see a real revolution in the way we handle data. The models could be generalized to some degree across data sets and query patterns, but pretty easily progressively trained in production for a particular data set. The outputs we optimize for are basically read time, write time, and storage space...which all strike me as relatively easy targets for training. How great would it be to just move some sliders for those 3 around based off of preference and call it a day?

dont work in tech, Work in direct patient-care. When patients are admitted as in paitientswe ask health hx questions. People tend to be very honest with health care workers and always tell the truth about their substance use. Whenever i see a (usually) Caucasian male btw 25-45, its always cardiac issues and there's always coke in their hx. These are not losers living in their moms basement, it's Yale town yuppies, coal harbour finance guys,north van architects etc that thought they could handle it, till that angina kicked in. These guys get the benefit of the doubt, but First Nation males and people that live on the DTES dont. You have no idea how many patient charts i see, that clearly say " DO NOT DISCUSS SUBSTANCE ISSUES WITH FAMILY/FRIENDS IN ROOM" as the patient hasn't told them and doesn't want them to know. At least we have a more progressive approach to substance abuse. This abstinence, just say no Nancy Reagan BS is unrealistic
I haven't done much myself, but I think a lot of people working on hobby operating systems use emulators or virtual machines to make development easier. Qemu and VirtualBox are popular and both run on macOS.

If you want to hack on your main operating system, then yeah, you'll probably want to switch to Linux, but I wouldn't do that yet.
I believe the program you're looking for is Certificate Transparency. To be honest, write-permanently databases have been around for a while (for example pgp keyservers that peer and distribute keys relatively quickly). Basically, it is a problem unsolved except by having seriously smart people who do this stuff for its own sake, hacking at the data directly, and are distributed across and able to effectively communicate from many jurisdictions.
And when you ask libertarians about the issue, they will always say that it's the responsibility of the single company. Stalemate.
In this case depth is not constant, so 1000^depth isn't either.

And usually when you encounter O(some constant), it's meant as "of the order of magnitude of", i.e. somewhere between some constant/10 and some constant * 10. That isn't the definition used here, but seems to be the cause of most complaints about asymptotic analysis being misapplied when no asymptotic analysis was being done in the first place.
Reading the Soviet Bill of Rights is pretty instructive because it'll show you how much such a thing is worth on its own.

Here is just a subset of the rights guaranteed by the USSR Constitution: speech; press; religion (both to profess and refuse to profess); assembly (including a specific right to demonstrate); participation in lawmaking; inviolability of the person (from warrantless arrest) and of the home (from unlawful entry or search); privacy of all correspondence (including phone conversations); right to challenge actions of government officials and bodies in court; right to a job; work week limited to 40 hours; free medical care; welfare payments in old age, sickness, or disability; free housing; free education; academic freedom for scientists.

It's a very good list, and what I listed above isn't even half of it [1]. Precisely none of those were actually respected by the government. Having a Bill of Rights is great, but having a tradition of limited government, checks and balances, and rule of law is what gives those guarantees any weight.

> Traditional programming languages and imperative thinking don't lend themselves to writing state machines

That's probably not the problem - imperative development can start off from a level of complexity where state machines don't look relevant.

Six weeks down the line, the whole codebase has overtaken the complexity of a state machine, though each of the development bugs were simple fixes to the original branching code.

The standard web-app wizard is where I've run into this again and again.

Every web-app is stateful enough to maintain DB state sync'd & ticking over from a user-click, which makes it really easy to work out whether all clicks go somewhere useful.

However this makes sense only when you have around 7+ states and transitions between them (particularly the "go back" one).

Until then, the regular if/else branch scenarios work out just fine ... but then when you're near the 20-30 state range, it all falls apart.

Both my kids are aspie. My son was diagnosed when he was seven because of some speech delay when he was younger and social awkwardness.

My daughter was diagnosed at sixteen after two years of missed school and barely leaving the house due to incredibly high anxiety. Oh, and the first time she was assessed eighteen months prior she was only "borderline" aspie even though in retrospect she has been effected much more profoundly. (She also had a similar speech delay when she was younger too, btw.)

We need to get a lot better at recognising the condition in girls, as we have with boys.

What exactly are you nitpicking?

1000^depth is not a constant: the function here is "f(depth) = number of times the inner loop body executes". f(depth) = O(1000^depth).

And, "times" here is serving the same role as "comparisons" in "Mergesort takes O(n log n) comparisons": it's referring to the thing that f is actually counting.

You may be right but without context or the background for your educated guess that comes off as a snarky flip.

I would personally add Russia to the mix. The reason is simple: both China and Russia are sources of capital flux, where those with means are funneling funds outside their respective countries.

Because there are, or have been, capital controls in place, those who move money out of their countries are willing to pay a premium for it. Funnily enough, there is a name for the phenomenon where actors with money are willing to pay exorbitant transaction costs in order to move funds from one jurisdictional domain to another.
I am older now and go to FNM (Friday Night Magic), mostly, for my son who got me back into it. There are a couple of regulars, one of which is a girl that reminds me a lot of you and the other ladies in this article. When she is concentrating on her turn and play more of her tells come out as she focuses. I try to do two things 1.) Don't make small talk (unless they initiate with something specific) and 2.) Since we it is a card game and there is a pretense not to, I don't make eye contact. She actually talks /lot/ more of I do those two things. The guy in the group has a kind of opposite problem and rambles a lot but his train of thought is funny (genuinely funny/witty) to me and my son so w e don't mind.

Our group is also (super male heavy) but very nice and in a more liberal area. It is a great to get out and be nerdy and give everyone a social thing where everyone has immediate common ground. Age 12-50. It really is cool. Not sure I had much of a point and I had already figured most of this out (we have a niece who is on the spectrum), but.. I didn't realize quite how deep it could go with the practice social things / mask. Being not so great at social things myself I just find it exhausting to do more normal social stuff, but I don't have to practice, I am just an introvert.
I am no American, but I think Americans are wise to revere their Bill of Rights partly because it is a reasonably good model for rights that everyone should have but also because Americans have lived for a long time with those particular and have made them mostly work. And as the article makes clear, the Bill of Rights didn't really just happen in 1789, it has evolved and (mostly) improved over 200+ years.

And that's a good reason to be skeptical of worries about "fetshising" it and dreams of how you could "remake the legal and political world". Big changes happened after the Revolution and the Civil War, how could they not? But evolution has happened at at all other times.
Note that the rights in the Soviet Constitution have an important explicit limitation in Article 39: “Enjoyment by citizens of their rights and freedoms must not be to the detriment of the interests of society or the state, or infringe the rights of other citizens.”
Honestly the video GP meant to post is probably quite accurate; the GP has just summarised it poorly.
Roomba was literally my first buy (big house, lots of hardwood). Then I'd say fill it out slowly and check everything month. For instance, I do the rounds the first of every Sunday. Change filters, check subpump, look for cracks, etc. Track humidity. Get a dehumidifier if in a humid climate (even just the Midwest), and track humidity. I personally have two monitors, and it's saved me a couple of times.

If it's a new build make use of the warranty.

Oh, and it's a lot of work and things always break. Just remember to fix them when you have time and don't worry about scratches or dents. Paint and spackle should happen all at once, so give it time.
One wonders what these people are thinking, when the very suggestion of having these weapons available to use puts the whole planet incrementally nearer to nuclear catastrophe. The cost-benefit analysis is so painfully slanted against anything like this that it's absolutely absurd- we have the nuclear triad already, for what it's worth, and it can do it's job better than we need. These toys have no well-defined safe use case and risks that the human mind can scarcely comprehend.

Is this part of some diplomatic tit-for-tat against the Russians over the attack in Syria last week? That's the most reasonable explanation that occurs to me, which is saying something.

One of the things that sets a good programmer apart is the willingness to fearlessly dig into someone else's code. I've heard it said before that you're responsible for every line of code you ship to your users. It follows that you shouldn't treat your dependencies as black boxes. Getting a stack trace that's 3 or 4 levels deep in Django/React/<insert library here>? Dig under the covers and understand what's happening. Include that information in a bug report, and better yet, open a PR offering to fix it.

You'll learn a whole lot and be more effective if you let your curiosity expand beyond code you/your team has written.

Also, even if they verify you meet some minimum bar of being able to support yourself (which I was not asked about in my interview, other than turning up looking generally presentable), this is still a far cry from a more rigorous points-based immigration system.
