Well the link you posted is not very useful - Javascript is faster on a trigonometry benchmark and the author admits it's probably because GCC's trigonometry functions are probably slow and not optimized. If you switch them out to use better functions or use a different compiler, I imagine the time would go down.

This is probably a better comparison:

Agreed about "Europe" being too broad a term. Another commenter mentioned a similar sentiment about making claims about the entire USA.

Releasing that information means those advertisers no longer need Facebook to do the ad targeting. They can then use other exchanges to do targeting without paying Facebook anything.

It is in Facebooks interests to guard that information carefully.
That’s a bit rude.

I don’t get what your point is anyways. Cars are an eyesore so what’s one more eyesore?

Not to mention the problem is vandalized and misplaced bikes, not bikes. I don’t mind bikes getting used taking space.

How many cars do you see up on cinder blocks blocking the road? That’s the equivalent of a vandalized share bike strewn across a sidewalk.

Living in SF these days and up until a week ago I thought the same way. I serendipitously had an opportunity to try a Bird electric scooter. I was heading to a meeting a few blocks away and one happened to be parked outside of the building I was leaving. It was far enough that I would have normally used Uber to get there but not far enough that I couldn't have walked if I didn't have to rush over. Long story short, I grabbed the App, started the scooter, and really enjoyed the ride over. It cost a fraction of the Uber ride and got me there faster.

I've been seeing these scooters popping up all over SF including Lime and Spin branded ones.

I hope to see more of them spring up as a viable alternative to using a car to get everywhere. Though I see the lack of helmets being included with these as a disaster waiting to happen.

The original name of the feature actually was "stalkers" — that's how it was presented to users before 2010 or so. The site had a lot of dark humor then. The word "stalk" also works as a clarifying synonym for "visit" in the code because "visit" could refer e.g. to the user's visit to the site itself.

In markdown that would put the 4 in italics, where it's not supposed it still works as emphasis, but can be a bit confusing.

Somewhat related, instead of signing the back of your credit card write "ASK FOR ID". Many merchants that otherwise wouldn't ask but look at the back instinctively tend to ask when they see it. I reinforce the behavior by thanking them. The only problem I've encountered is some USPS offices refuse to run a card without a signature on the back.
Hashimoto's relatively easy to live with (at least, compared to other autoimmune conditions). If properly medicated with replacement hormones, no observable change in life expectancy. If goiter forms (which is a complication of undiagnosed/under-treated Hashimoto's), it's solvable by surgery.
Many wild bananas have flowers that grow downwards, and have seeds (source, I've worked in two botanical gardens and lived next to one in Kenya, and have seen thousands of banana plants and grown many in my own garden).

The lack of seeds in the major crop bananas is due to selective breeding for seedlessness. Usually what happens with seedlessness is some part of the seed development or maturation molecular pathways are broken by a mutation, and selective breeding is used to fix that trait in the population (source, former seed biologist).

So the seedless banana plants are not generally weaker or stronger, just that they have a very specific mutation that prevents normal seeds appearing.
I'll add that there is a deeply ingrained myth that New York City tap water is "the best in the world" when in fact it's not even among the 10 cleanest water supplies in the country and contains concerning amounts of dangerous pollutants like chloroform.

Open source DBMS normally provide numbers using some open
source variant of TPC-C. One such implementation is DBT2.
TPC-C according to the standard is extremely expensive to
setup and is only interesting for databases with massive
disks. However most open source DBMS runs DBT2 with no wait
time, this means that also an in-memory DBMS can report
numbers on a TPC-C-like benchmark (e.g. DBT2).

MySQL Cluster (NDB) did such benchmarks a few years ago
where we ran 2.2M transactions per minute using DBT2.
This meant executing millions of SQL queries per second
towards the cluster and most of the CPU load is in the
set of MySQL servers.

Currently I am using the load phase of this benchmark to
test loading massive amounts of data into the new 7.6
version of MySQL Cluster using machines with 1 TB of memory.

I’m in Sydney. Those are pretty minor use cases compared to the sheer nuisance of dockless bikes.

No helmets, no seats, bent wheels. Left in the middle of side walks. Left on other people’s property. In trees.

The people who typically use them are casual bikers too, so they use the side walk instead of the roads.

No idea about the below freezing stuff.
Hahahaha your funny kid.
Depends on the employer and employee. I've worked out a several month notice period; I wanted to leave, but didn't want to abandon a small team a couple of months before a hard deadline. Everyone involved was okay with that.

But then I wasn't leaving because the place was a train wreck; I was still engaged, and liked the team I was on. Had that not been true, it would have been a bad move on everyone's part.
Not what I said.

What I said was that when one is in the situation of selecting a professor to be hired at an Ivy, the PhD in and of itself, is not really an accomplishment. It's more akin to an "entrance fee".
Doesn't really matter (yet). Satellites presently still need to downlink any transferred data and that's going to be the rate-limiting factor.
That’s a link to hundreds of images... that being said, which parking spot? The pictures I see are knocked over bikes thrown about like a child's poorly kept toys.

Contrary to what you may believe, you’re not allowed to leave a car wherever you feel like it at a given moment.

You can’t even leave your own person sprawled out on whatever public surface pleases you.

No idea how this is a “huge victory”
The specific issue under discussion has little to nothing to do with user experience though. It wouldn't change the iOS user experience if an iOS dev environment was available for Linux, or if you could test your iOS code on a jenkins server running on an ec2 instance.
The point, however, is that if the difference is down to library code, the language itself isn't imposing a penalty. That is what is counter-intuitive here.
Well now we are raising a society where previously neutral social spaces are changing to only permit encouraging and positive things, everything-else-be-damned. Allowing people to constantly pat each other on the back without criticism is going to make people even more spoiled and insufferable

Both use-cases (VPS and homeserver) are valid. As FreedomBox is just a bunch of Debian packages it should be easy to offer it as a base image (or 'apt install freedombox' it yourself).

While I'm giggling a bit at the pseudo-math, I have to agree with the sentiment of this post.

Dockless E-Scooters, to me, just feel like the winner. They take up much less space on the sidewalk than the bikes.

You should check out the one-drop rule. It is uniquely American, and it uniquely targeted African Americans for generations. It means even the smallest amount of African blood in your lineage made you fully Negro, and subject to all the class, legal and racial demotion that entailed.

Most African American families have been in the United States before it was the United States. Slave importation was made illegal in 1808, before the largest waves of Irish and English. Most white families trace their lineage to immigrants of the mid-1800's, where most black families trace their families well before the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

But no other ethic group experienced resistance by natives to integrate throughout reconstruction, and then the regression that began with Jim Crow laws at the end of reconstruction and culminated in the Civil Rights movements of the 1950's. Not merely a remembrance of history, but a glorified nostalgic reverence for the Confederacy, starting in the early 1900's, is uniquely directed at African Americans.

Yes, I always keep my eggs room temp.

I don't see how any modulation of the timing can produce anything other than a thicker or thinner layer of white stuck to the inside of the shell. What exactly happens when you do it - does all the white come out? Do you use older eggs perhaps? The older the egg, the less the shell sticks - but the more it disintegrates in water, so I always try and use fresh ones or poaching...

There were a number of alternatives back then; and if you wanted OO, Smalltalk was still strong in corporate circles I believe.

I was programming back in '96 (recreationally and as a student, not professionally) and C++ would not have seemed like a good choice even then.
I am really not that great of a programmer. I am 35 and was not paid to write code until I was 31. Before I learned to code I spent about 10 years in the military, infantry to be specific. The leadership and problem solving skills learned in that domain have served me extremely well in my current position and pushed me into a project lead position before my first year of employment was over.

I have found solving problems outside of your normal problem domain allows you to develop fresh ideas inside of your domain.
Pretty much this. I can't afford to commit that level of income to investments, and even if I could, the impact on my financial standing would not be significant (probably? I have no idea what kind of % return you get on an index fund)
Every one of those examples come from Culture not research.

If somebody is going to run statically linked binaries, they would understand the security implications of that, and that they need to be able to rebuild and redeploy their binary if a security hole is discovered in a third-party library that was linked into their program.

They would already have CI/CD processes in place to rebuild the binary/container, run regression tests and redeploy the application/container to production, surely?

So what difference does it make if it's one or one hundred applications/binaries/containers then?

This is a sad day.

For the uninitiated - to simulate a basic quantum computer, all you need is the following:

* A product state vector, which is a vector of size 2^n filled with complex numbers where n is the number of qbits you're using. You derive the product state from a series of individual qbits by taking their tensor product; this exponential term is why simulating quantum computers takes exponential space.

* A set of common quantum logic gates, which are (2^n)x(2^n) matrices you multiply against the product state vector to derive the new product state vector; these matrices must be unitary (their conjugate-transpose is their inverse) (edited, see [0]) and therefore reversible (quantum computers are reversible computers). The full (2^n)x(2^n) matrices are derived by taking the tensor products of several 2x2 and 4x4 matrices.

* The measurement logic, where you calculate how the product state collapses by taking the square of the absolute value of each entry in the product state (these entries are called amplitudes).

This project is an implementation of those three things in Python. There is nothing special about the above mathematical constructs save that they match the observed semantics of a quantum system. This is good! Quantum computing is accessible to anyone who has taken a basic undergraduate course in linear algebra.

[0] I previously believed all quantum operators were their own inverses (Unitary and Hermitian) but apparently that is not the case; see comments below.

Perhaps you should consider this a different way.

Consider the end to end performance of a system - from inputs in (say, timesheets and HR data) to outputs out (bank payment APIs called, emails sent).

Would you bet the end to end performance of a system built by mediocre C++ programmers would be better than that of a system built by mediocre Python programmers?

I certainly wouldn't.

As I've gotten older (ironically) I've felt this should be the case; key decisions have such an impact on the success or failure of a startup, it's much more likely you make the right key decisions the more experience and wisdom you have.
Not that I disagree with you, but I'm curious.

If two things are fundamentally indistinguishable from one another based on molecular level and the difference is in the manufacturing processes why does it matter?

Well, if you want hardware-accelerated decoding, you need new hardware. That seems reasonable?

Software encoder/decoder implementations will also be a thing in the interim, until the hardware is ready.
