It is! The office conditions are terrible, but my coworkers are freaking amazing, and I am genuinely excited about the work we do, which is the main reason I'm still there.

You are allowed to use both event and element, as they aren't strictly reserved keywords.

I think it's generally frowned upon, though. For example, I believe "event" is defined as a global in browsers (on window, perhaps?), so you run the risk of shadowed variables and accidentally referring to the wrong thing.
If Tor is just a honeypot, then when does it pay off? There are tons of illegal activities going over Tor right now, including truly awful stuff like terrorist attack plotting and recent pictures of child abuse. If Tor is surveillable, why isn't that surveillance being used to catch and prosecute those people? What are they waiting for?

I will say (while acknowledging that I can't prove this) that I have friends who work in national defense and law enforcement, for whom Tor is an impediment. I've never heard them talk about a magic decrypt button; quite the opposite. So if Tor can be decrypted, it is a capability that is closely held and rarely used.

>You can speed up an algorithm 1000 fold but if it only accounts for 1% of your total execution time you've only gained a 1% speedup.

In a pure program, yes. In an impure one, not necessarily. The change in algorithm could result in some different data structures or layout, and this could cause another part of the program to run much faster or slower (e.g. because of cache locality issues).
But you wrote it, so of course it's clear to you. To me, when someone says "the longest part of the program" I immediately think of the routine that stretches over the most lines. That's the longest part of the code.

Amazon has a lot of individual web shops as competition in addition to sites like ebay and rakuten. Also any serious classical retailer has an online shop by now and search engines like Google shopping help them to compete on price. Amazon has a high market share, but they are far from a monopoly. They earned their market share through low prices, fast delivery and best in market customer support and they will lose it, if these three points drop considerably in quality.

Anecdotal I explcitly skip Amazon for lower priced shops, if I do not care about customer support and if products have a high reputation of arriving broken, because they made a reputation of banning accounts for bad return behavior.

While Facebook itself might be hard to break up, Instagram and WhatsApp can easily be independent companies and a strong point can be made that these acquisition shouldn't have been allowed based on anti-trust in the first place as these stopped emerging social network competition in other forms of communication (images, 1 to 1).

This was my favorite course in college. Super beneficial materials.

On a side note, one of the reasons I loved this course was because it was online and only had 2 tests with no other assignments. The professor allowed you to schedule office hours any time you needed, but the course setup was sweet for self-studiers like me. Here's the book, Chapters 1-10 are on the midterm, Chapters 10-20 are on the final. No homework busy work, no other tests. Just 2 exams. Go.
This comment is excellent. The title of the original post should be: "When optimising code, never guess, always read the bytecode/assembly."

Without actually reading the assembly/bytecode/etc, you end up speculating about silly things like 'the two evaluations and assignments can happen in parallel, and so may happen on different cores.'.
The 50% figure is not ownership, but managing. The article misses several important points why the Gujariti could take over the whole south and west in all cheap hotels. The main reason is a special Visa execption, very similar to the Chinese cook visa exception. Family members can easily come over and work there. So they can undercut all costs in running a hotel, esp. with Central American room cleaning. The big chains saw this advantage and put a Gujariti manager everywhere. They replaced room cleaning step by step and are also doing the small repairs by themselves. They have a strong community to help each other out. Biggest problem is room cleaning though. It's a different experience, it smells. Who knows what kind of chemicals they use. For sure the wrong ones. When they advance to $120 hotels is it getting better though, then they can afford proper room cleaning again.

High-quality filtering of floating-point image data.
Agreed.

Generally my American friends and family never ask for money to fund good ideas. The people asking for money are people who are asking me to throw money at things that won't produce more money(i.e. they don't have a plan for spending it wisely, have shown poor financial judgement in the past, etc).

My friend and his wife just had one of their cars stop working and they both need cars to make money. They are in debt and need to work. There's no way my friend will ask, but I will probably find a way to help them. My niece has no problem hitting up my parents for money for her latest crazy investment scheme after demonstrating several poor choices and a lack of business and financial judgement.

I couldn't disagree more about needing a teacher. While I did take DiffEQ in college with a "teacher", his handwriting was too atrocious and his polish accent was too thick that I ended up learning the entire course myself.

To be fair though, as a physics major we were already dabbling with some of the stuff in other classes.

Why beware measuring? In my experience, people are generally terrible at guessing where the bulk of the time is being spent. Measure as soon as you care.

It seems to me that this will make that problem significantly worse. If at least 30% of content in an EU country is local to that country then this local content cannot be available in every EU country. The percentages simply wouldn't add up.

Just as a partial counterpoint to this and overall agreement with everyone else who responded, I've had success taking realtime notes on my laptop in a math class. It took a bit of practice and I'm sure I can't do it anymore, but it's not insurmountable by any means.

I used latex and made liberal use of keyboard and software macros to do it, and one of the tricks was to realize that if I needed a quick-to-type way to typeset new thing X, I should just pretend I had such an implementation and make up its command on the spot. At my leisure, I could write up a conforming latex command that worked with all the notes I'd taken in realtime.

That said, I've since come to realize that math notes don't help me as much as they seem to help others. I have greater success primarily listening during class and leaning on the textbook as well as online resources outside of class. I do second the use of emacs to handle the latex, but I don't think that realtime rendering is particularly important in a notes setting.

The CA trust model is totally broken! We pay certificate of authority CA companies a lot of money for certificates that are not fully confirmed to be authentic.

Here is a better model. You normally register your company with the local government corporate registration authority. The local government knows who this company is, who the corporate registrars are.

One should use a digital ID card to apply to register a company. The founders sign the registration of the company with their personal digital ID. The company is then registered. To apply for a domain name for a company should be digitally signed. The registration government authority should handle certificate of authentic not foreign CA registrars.

All corporations should use Government CAs all other types of certificates can then be issued by Lets Encrypt having proper DNS validation in place should help there too.

All else is broken security by design.
You are thinking to big. Look for a niche. If there are 2 dozen startups already competing in that space, it's not very niche.

I think the biggest blocker with using publicly available datasets is stale data.

If you, or anyone else who aggregates these datasets could make it EASY to find the FREQUENCY of updates, rather than just the LAST UPDATED timestamp, it'd incentivize people to consume APIs more.

I realize having a snapshot from 2014 is better than what was publicly available before. But I feel no one's really talked about why they would or wouldn't use particular data.

44% of people 18-29 deleting the app from their phones sounds bad, but it's important to take into account that Facebook does all sorts of things to increase engagement in their apps that cause some people to be annoyed. Facebook could make their app less distracting or make it easy to turn off annoying features, and fewer would uninstall it. It also doesn't take into account people reinstalling it. I've deleted and reinstalled it in the last year, and it is currently installed.
Thanks for pointing it out. We are indeed using wevcrypto to encrypt the data generated during the recording. This usecase, however, we’d argue is quite well suite for webcrypto.

The typical critique (including the one you linked to) referring to the presence of scripts from multiple untrusted soutces doesn’t quite apply in this case because the encryption used isn’t really meant to protect against such scripts. Any script active on the page already has access to all the information RecapJS is gathering (and eventually encrypting) so there is no need for RecapJS to worry about them.

The only time RecapJs handles sensitive data that needs to br protected from third party access is during replay/playback. In this case the threat is mitigated by either hosting the player (which is a static web application) in a closed off network in the case of offline replay or by loading an audited piece of js in case of remote full session storage.

The same thing that's stopping them from silently requiring Apple to include backdoors into every device today.

> What is stopping users from using software that is ACTUALLY secure.

It's the same as with a regular phone line. Users are free to speak in code or use an analog scrambler. Just because a particular interception technique isn't perfect doesn't mean it wouldn't be valuable to law enforcement.
One of those groups are massively more likely to deal in thruth though. Otherwise I agree; people are usually too keen on easy answers instead of complex correct answers.

Interesting, thanks for the response. How do you handle pseudo classes and media queries now? Does the pseudo class get transformed into a portion of the class name? If so, do pseudo classes override the determinism, or is it still done right-to-left?
I find this interesting, because my family used to take road trips all the time (annually in the '90s, less often since then), and we mostly stayed in motels that were part of national chains like Hampton Inn, La Quinta, Holiday Inn Express, Fairfield by Marriott, Best Western, etc., and I honestly don't recall the staff being Indian (since we mostly travelled through the Southeast, most of the employees we interacted with were black). I guess the owners could have been, but that would mean they're hiring people outside of family.

I'm wondering if this article applies to just independent motels or if it also includes franchises of the national chains (at least, I assume the national chains use a franchise model). I'd be honestly surprised if independent motels were a full half of the number of motels in the US, since the chains are everywhere.
This was exactly my experience except that I eventually left the service entirely.
Why computer science instead of just the practical programming and software engineering know how? The theory is pretty irrelevant for most coding jobs.
This is nice. I'm working on a similar open source project that is releasing soon called DataLibrary[0]

Just chiming in to say we do indeed exist and your example is pretty spot on, but I unfortunately have not self-studied diff.eqs. if I eventually do, I'll make sure to write something up about it.

I'd like to think I have developed a hint of mathematical maturity (CS + late declared Math major), but I went more the algebra route and ended up never taking a diff.eq. course. The closest I came was in a complex analysis course with some motivating examples that assumed we'd have picked up some tricks in a diff.eq. course.

Indeed, I was unduly influenced by the code I was writing in the late 80s and early 90s that really did take languages with multiple assignments like this and ran them on different processors. You say it's a silly thing, but we used to do it - things have changed.

Added in edit: The magic term is "execution unit" not "core". As I say, things have changed, and the bundling of multiple execution units into each core, and multiple cores into each processor, is different in interesting and subtle ways from the situation I used to code, where I had a few hundred, or a few thousand, processors in each machine, but the individual processors were simpler.
It says 3ms for a "disk seek", not a disk IO. It's definitely misleading, but not totally wrong. An average disk seek time of 3 or 4ms is pretty common. The rotational latency will be another few ms which is how we arrive at your number of 10ms, which is the total time of the IO.
