FFS the government has already forced people to do business with those they don't like. You do remember the raison etre of the Civil Rights Act don't you?

I'm pretty sure companies in the 1960s South didn't want to serve black Americans.

In fact, many want the Government to go further and force bakers to make cakes for gay weddings when the owners don't support gay marriage [1]

Perhaps of some relevance - we routinely order boxes of Japanese candy/munchies off eBay for our kids and their friends. They also make for excellent birthday presents.

40 USD gets you a shoebox of stuff with the same day dispatch and 2 day air delivery to EU. It's a lot of items and we have leftovers for weeks. It also tends to take the novelty edge off for a while, so boxes this big can't be a monthly thing.

For this to work as a monthly subscription, the package size needs to be much smaller, which is what CandyJapan seems to be offering, but then they want 29 USD per month and that's just way too much.

From where I'm sitting, their problem is that it's expensive and it is a subscription. This limits their their target audience to true Japanese candy conneseurs willing to pay twice the market rate for... what exactly?

That's not even getting into the existence of local Japanese (and Chinese!) shops that carry similar inventory, and where 20-30 USD will easily cover a month worth of supply of weird stuff.

Can we call this the Dropbox syndrome where people boasts they have a better solution with combination of cli tools instead of a service?
I agree of, non-free + proprietary == bad, whereas the opposite == good, but it is not the only consideration. Many computer software can be good or bad regardless of such thing, but free software is still a better idea than nonfree software. If program has some problem (e.g. malware, or a feature doesn't work the way you want it to be, or whatever), you can hopefully to correct it! That is why free software is good and nonfree software isn't good.

But, it is correct, reality is not really so neatly categorized into binary outcomes with no shades of gray (and other colours).
Amateurs. I made a "press pass" consisting of a sticker printed from a laser printer reading "PRESS", highlighted yellow, and applied to the back of my highschool ID. I literally drive on the tarmac of Stapleton International Airport in Denver, in a failed attempt to meet then presidential candidate Bob Dole as he stepped off of his plane. One hour and one flash of the pass later and I landed a killer photo of he and I shaking hands outside his press junket. 16 is an emboldening age!

Cheap labor is the same reason why many businesses boom in China but not so much in US/Europe. Take food delivery for example, $10 worth of food costs $1 delivery fee in China while it costs $7 to deliver on ubereats here in the US.

Interestingly (and pedantically), the code from the otherwise excellent "Byte order fallacy" article technically contains undefined behavior in C on machines where int is 32 bits wide (which is almost everything nowadays).

Consider this example of extracting a 32-bit int encoded as little endian:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
unsigned char data[4] = { 0, 0, 0, 128 };
unsigned int i;

// the line of code from the article:
i = (data[0]<<0) | (data[1]<<8) | (data[2]<<16) | (data[3]<<24);

printf("%x\n", i);
}

Compiling this with either gcc or clang using "-fsanitize=undefined" triggers this runtime error:

test.c:9:61: runtime error: left shift of 128 by 24 places cannot be represented in type 'int'

That happens because, even though the bytes are unsigned as the article requires (using uint8_t instead of unsigned char has the same problem), they are promoted to (signed) int before the left shift as part of automatic integer promotion. When the left shift by 24 happens, it puts an 1 into the sign bit of the int, which is undefined behavior. Later the int is converted to unsigned (using implementation-defined behavior, which luckily is sane on all popular compilers), but by then it's already too late.

The solution is to change the code slightly:

i = (data[0]<<0) | (data[1]<<8) | (data[2]<<16) | ((unsigned)data[3]<<24);

This prevents the promotion from unsigned char (or uint8_t) to int by explicitly casting it to an unsigned int, which can then be safely shifted left by 24.
Fair, but people do the packed struct thing because they're either lazy (don't want to memcpy individual fields) or they're trying to avoid a perf hit from memcpy. That perf hit is on the scale of using packed structs, except you only pay it once. So it's really not worth it.
Samsung Open-Source Group Reportedly Shuts Down
Okay, so to settle this question, OP can ask these classmates what they got on the SAT.
It still seems like a strange distinction. Is the implication that RMS did not arrive at his opinions through reasoning?
I'm not sure I followed, but I thought that the standard approach was to only store a quarter of a cycle (0 to pi/2) in the LUT, and use symmetry to generate the rest of the cycle. Is the advantage of having two LUTs that you can index into each of them separately?

On one hand, it is bad style to accuse someone with strong words while only throwing with a link to give foundation to your judgement. This does not create a constructive environment to debate and learn.

On the other hand, both claims in the linked comment are not reasonable. For the first point in the link, software can be created and shared for money with the GPL while not preventing libraries to collect the software and provide it free of charge. For the second point, the given link does not give any foundation to the claim the Richard Stallman is against cooperations.
Competitive coding is not the measure or indicator of success.

Reminds me of competitive math contests in school, it didn't mean that the smartest people knew how to apply it to real life to solve problems for people that were valuable.

You absolutely have lots of value to learn, become, and add. Programming is about practice, practice, practice, so build, build, build.

Put in your time, never think you've arrived and you'll never stop arriving at cool things along the way.

I can't help feeling that edge rendering is greatness personified ... but that it's perhaps not any more useful than just server side rendering. An edge renderer is still going to have to either access a model/controller held centrally (getting our latency times up again) or use some godforsaken distributed/replicated state that's a bitch to debug. Perhaps an edge renderer can hold open a connection to the central logic and knock a hundred millis or so off the set up time as a result, but none of the proposed models for doing this would seem to support that. They don't seem to support stateful anything.

If you think the SAT is in any way shape or form an indicator of intelligence or skills you would be objectively wrong. Someone with ADHD is likely going to perform poorly on the SATs due to the test environment but that does not indicate how well they'll perform in a professional environment.

Similarly I can think of people in college who would abuse Adderall in order to get higher scores. Do you think those people are more or less intelligent? Should we consider the metrics before or after usage?
The idea that “you seem unpleasant, I don’t want to do business with you” is censorship is absurd.

Americans seem so obsessed with the SAT. Why do test scores matter so much to people? My friends and I used to compete with one another by writing IQ tests and comparing the results. It was sort of fun, but its not like the results meant anything. Especially since the scores went up the more we wrote the silly things. Did we get smarter? Clearly.

Besides being a stepping-stone to the desire for full vertical control of the user experience Edge components are also integrated into other portions of Windows. This is similar to the situation with Internet Explorer.

If I recall correctly UWP uses Edge's rendering engine (EdgeHTML) and JavaScript engine (Chakra). Edge integration/embeddability is also available to Win32/WPF/WinForms applications past a certain Windows 10 version. It makes some sense for them to develop something they have full control over if they use its technology in other core components/libraries of their operating system.

Oh yeah, the lingering hope for THAT ultimate apps or THAT ultimate productivity technique that will finally change your life, postponed what you can do RIGHT NOW for things that might not even existed.

Anyway, after searching for ultimate technique for a long time, I found that the answer (for me at least) is as simple as simply wake up early and do most important things first (for me recently, is exercise) before shitstorm happened — the classic, proven wisdom that I used to refuse to do because it’s not ULTIMATE enough Haha.

This is a wild tangent that has nothing to do with OP's situation, which is that he went to a university with several classmates that are smarter than him/her. This is generally a good thing for your university to have.

On the other hand, the clean code can be fixed and updated later on, where the fancy mess sometimes just gets worse.

I remember once I found a series of if statements that were so convoluted I needed boolean logic to make sense out of it. In the end, it turned out that half of it was duplication. Nobody could make sense out of it so they simply added on to it each time they had to edit the file.

I'm not convinced that buggy clean code would be worse in that situation: the buggy code would have gotten fixed long ago because it would have been easy to see what was wrong and then fix it.

Sharing this paper because effective workload simulation is a necessary step toward the Holy Grail: workload aware and self-tuning caches. In plain english, that means a cache that can adjust its parameters so that it is most effective for a given workload. Ideally, you want all of that without human supervision or pre-trained models, and in its fully accomplished form the cache can provision resources if it is worth it. Note that effectiveness here is traditionally measured in terms of hit:miss ration but other metrics exist too.

That's part of the broader idea of "intelligent systems" pro-actively adjusting themselves (resources, internal structure, overall policies) to the workload they are fed in order to optimize performance or cost-effectiveness.

The most basic caches have static eviction policies (e.g LRU/LFU), there has been some work on adaptive eviction policies (e.g ARC), and more recently on a clever combination of adjusting eviction policies and admission policies (e.g TinyLFU). The overarching goal of this line of research is to figure out a "silver bullet" cache which perform optimally (or close-to) regardless of R/W distributions by scrambling between different policies wrt. admission and eviction.

Most of their customers don't sell software, basically every company needs software these days. They still have those needs if all software were free, so I'm not really seeing the problem.

He named his first major project after a local ice cream shop, and his second after a children's song from the fifties. That's just him. I find it silly but don't see it as credible attack on his message.
I should start doing that. I do occasionally fill out the stupid lengthy third party form sites use. It has a red logo, I forget the name of it. But in the free form comment section I explain how obnoxious it is. Also that company will hopefully go bankrupt asap.
