> could you see it failing if I plug my laptop into AC power while the test is running?

That should at max cause a single test case failure, as it caused a speedup during one leg of the operation benchmark.

Since these are not completely automated (you might want to have them as a set of allowed to fail tests, or tests you have to explicitly request), you can easily just re-run the tests to confirm the prior output wasn't a fluke. You need something like that anyway because you're essentially testing benchmark outputs, and it's not like it's easy to set up perfectly consistent benchmarks in the first place.

The margin of margin you want your PERFHACK to be faster than the default code is also your margin of error. Theoretically you would test something like NORMAL_SECONDS*0.8 > PERFHACK_SECONDS in your test to ensure you're still getting a 20% or more speedup. If some changes cause it to drop to 15%, you then get to assess whether that gain is still worth the hack (and perhaps change the test to be a 10% gain assertion), or whether you want to clean up your code (or at least schedule it).

The point is that you've put a system in place that allows you to have a clearer picture of whether your prior decisions with regard to performance hacks still make sense.

To play Devil's Advocate though - confirmation bias is a funny thing, and self-diagnosis is too.

Not saying you or OP are wrong, and I believe the non-neurotypical thing, but these topics are ones where nearly everyone who says they are on the spectrum appear to be 100% vehemently sure they are, but not 100% of those people are correct.
The comments on that Reddit post seem to indicate a little of this isn’t true.

When you buy a can of diced tomatoes, how do you think were they diced? Do you think it was done manually? I'm pretty sure slicing and dicing vegetables is a problem that has been solved at industrial scale a long time ago.
How do you balance letting kids learn to manage risk in unstructured environments with banning objects and activities that might be dangerous?

People have been doing it for generations, so consider it something you'll want to think about for yourself before having children.

>Lawn darts were banned on a mere 750 ED visits annually

Lawn darts are a toy, a toy for children an adults to play alike.

Ball magnets aren't sold as a toy. We don't restrict the sale of sharp knives because children might injure themselves, no we rely on parents to not let their children play with them.

A GPU is much wider than a single core, but only slightly wider than a server CPU. For example, a 28-core Xeon has dual-issue FMA with 6-cycle latency and 16-wide packed SP registers, thus reaches peak floating point performance with 5376 independent operations in-flight at any instant. It's only about 4x higher for V100, which has higher TDP.
Which query are you referring to? It's important to understand that the first step in a systematic review is to identify all the potentially relevant literature (the "search"), only after which are the studies found screened for inclusion. We're conservative in the direction of over-inclusion during the "search", but in the opposite direction during the "screen".
I love Atom and use it as my default text editor. There are all these people talking about IDE wars in the comments. I feel like Atom is an enhanced text editor at best. But the comparisons to VSCode and then eventually IntelliJ...not even the same ballpark.

Amazing that Net Neutrality can be bought for only $60,000. Wikipedia says: "State Assemblyman Miguel Santiago received over $60,000 from telecom lobbyists, with AT&T being the top telecom contributor, over the course of his assembly career."
Connection management in Postgres is definitely one of its sore spots. Each connection even an idle one consumes roughly 10 MB of overhead and introduces additional coordination overhead on queries. If you're running at any large scale production you want pgbouncer in place which can help manage the idle connections so they're not a hit to your system. Hopefully one day this improves directly in core.

I agree with you that there is a crime called "corporate espionage", but thus far the accused has not been criminally charged.

Are you sure about that? The one and only time I've interacted with an xbox one, we picked up a physical game, put it in, and then downloaded the game to the xbox. Afaict, there was nothing on the disk itself except perhaps an identifier and a key; the download was substantial. Probably the stupidest interaction I've had with computers yet.

And if thats still the case, I can't imagine downloading the game to multiple xbox's valid behavior. But I also dont remember if the disk was required to be inserted to actually play (which would make the interaction even more obscene).

This is a really different issue from right to roam. Magnet ingestion is something that will happen when curious little hands get hold of these magnets, and is also not something you can obviously know has happened. That's scary given the great potential for severe adverse health consequences.
I like to thing I am a burger pro, but I know I am not an automation pro. A burger shouldn't take more than 10 minutes from cooking to being served. This thing looks very slow. Is that the current state of this sort of line automation?
It's nice to see some love for BBEdit. I confess that I use VS Code for programming more often, but I'm a technical writer, and I almost always use BBEdit for my work. The other day I had to do a task that boiled down to "recursively search for all files in this directory that do NOT contain the following text, then in the result set, run the following regex-based search and replace." In BBEdit, this is essentially a two-step operation (the first search, then a "text factory" with the regex search-and-replace that used the search result window as the input). I'm sure there are other editors that could do that same operation, but I have doubts how many could do it as easily.

Really, if I could bring a couple of the more "IDE-esque" bits over from Code (most notably language-sensitive smart indent, something I'm boggled Bare Bones hasn't broken down and added yet), I'd probably just stick with BBEdit full time still.

Why would you want to stop and switch to public transportation? It's a pretty significant QoL downgrade. If you can afford a car you pretty much always want to.

There is no horizon in sight where shared transportation will actually be an improvement on cars so it's always going to be kind of a futile battle.
It takes 5 minutes.
Totally agree. There’s a lot of literature and hacks on what to break, degrade, etc. Hardly anything on the fact that you have to have good performance and fault tolerance requirements - which come with workload and architectural constraints. Also hardly anything on good statistical methods to compare metrics and which metrics to compare

I feel like these are frivolous toys that are a net negative to society, but the product has legitimate uses (however silly) and does not cause injury when used appropriately. There are many products in our everyday lives with legitimate uses that can and do regularly injure children but are not banned because we have (at least implicitly) decided that the benefits outweigh the costs. Ultimately this kind of ban is based off a value judgment and it doesn't feel like it is something appropriate for an un-elected regulatory body to decide. The ban should come from Congress.

If a product causes injuries when used as intended then CPSC action seems warranted to me. This is not such a case. I also suspect the lawn dart ban might not have held up in court had manufacturers then pressed as hard as Qu has been pressing today, so I don't think that ban does anything to legitimize CPSC action now. Fireworks bans in the United States have (to my knowledge) originated from legislative bodies.

By the way, the way CPSC reached their conclusion that these magnetic balls were a net negative was based off their own calculation that injuries to children cost more to treat than profits made by the magnetic ball companies. This seems like an absurd way to calculate whether or not something is a net negative to society.

There are a variety of alternative unemployment measures besides the headline rate and the are uses for which way of them is more appropriate than the headline rate, but using the LFPP as if it were (1 - unemployment) is silly, unless your ideal is that everyone should be working at wage labor from 16 to death.
Is that really the roll of government? To put speedbumps on success, no matter how much, still seems inhibitive to progress. I’ll play devils advocate: what if instead of spending all that money on antitrust litigation that plagues our judicial system, Microsoft invested in hiring, R&D, and continues to maintain their #1 spot. Would that have stopped google and their search engine gold mine, or apples iPhone gold mine. No not at all. And capitalism would have still prevailed with less wasted effort on litigation than had the government not interfered.
I believe the only time the government should involve itself in commercial is when safety is a concern

>The constant churn of new video formats is one possible reason. If YouTube doesn’t convert all their old videos, they may become effectively unplayable

YouTube already does an encoding pass even with the most "perfect" h264 source. I wouldn't worry about video formats more than I'd worry about when YouTube shuts down.

We're going to need an incredible increase in storage density before we can think of doing a full replica of YouTube (I wonder if we'll ever have the processing power to de-dupe the amount that's uploaded).
>But at their peak, three thousand children a year were visiting emergency departments for suspected magnet ingestion (a number which declined after the CPSC ban).[1]

Several points:

1. Suspected magnet ingestion =/= magnet ingestion. I believe we should stop here, however:

2. Of course a total ban on sales (which was in effect for some time) would decrease this number, but

3. So would improved packaging and public education campaigns on the potential dangers of the product, which were happening at the same time, and

4. If you actually read the paper, they observe that the reduction in the suspected ingestion cases was not that large: from 8,326 to 6,260. Perhaps you should include that in your cost function.

5. Also from the paper: 86% of the kids were "treated and released from the ED or examined and released without treatment"

To put the nail in the suspected coffin, one should go and read the article you referenced: [SciHub link][1]:

>Subjects from 0-17 years old were included using a primary search term for diagnosis of “ingested object” from the time period of 2002-2015. Cases of ingested
objects were classified as “suspected magnet ingestion” (SMI) if the term “magnet” appeared anywhere in the narrative section of the database.

Meanwhile, a million kids ended up in emergency rooms from trampoline-related injuries over a decade[2], and no one bats an eye.

Children need to be able to hurt themselves. That may bother some people to hear, but I'd suggest googling "congenital analgesia" for them. Children need to not be able to kill themselves via hazards their genetic heritage provides them no way to realize is dangerous. That is, children quickly learn not to fall too far [1], but they've got no inherent defense against eating two magnets slightly spaced apart in time. Or antifreeze. Or electricity. Etc.

There's still a lot of judgement involved, and I'm right there with you on children being overprotected in general. But they need to be kept from the unrecoverable mistakes.

One of the interesting things about child proofing your home, if you are of an introspective mindset, is the cataloging of how much danger you causally live with. Or at least, danger from a certain point of view.

[1]: Not 100% perfectly, of course. But there's a qualitative difference between our natural instinct's ability to deal with fall damage, and eating rare earth magnets.

Newegg had the 1700 for an insane $159 today.
I don't think it is terribly different. Getting struck by a vehicle is at least as great a danger, if not a much more likely scenario, than ingesting magnets, and is also not immediately apparent for the simple fact that the kids are out of sight. I would put "right to roam" laws as being in opposition to the banning of object like magnets or Kinder Eggs.

That said, I do understand they can cause great harm. But what do we lose when we choose to isolate our kids from reality?
But not anymore, and not for a while.

And from CPSC's perspective, it doesn't matter, because they were sticking to the point that no amount of warnings and restrictions can make magnets safe enough to be sold. (Unlike, say, an M-16 rifle).
And this is why you don't get immediate access to a dev folks!
