To me, constant heat and sunshine is shitty weather. I prefer a temperate/boreal climate. I find it far more pleasant.

They are going to have to be extraordinarily shitty to be worse than what I have already in the UK.

I've spent enough time in Spain to know I'd never want to live there, and enough in Germany to know that it is very attractive to me.

The Way We Teach Ourselves: How Our Internal Training System Evolved
The second spend in your double spend needs to be before the re-org is noticed. Make that spend a swap to Zcash / Monero and you can't be traced. So a full scenario would be:

* Swap coin for Zcash and start mining with 51%.
* Wait until your chain is longer than the main chain, and you actually hold the Zcash.
* Publish the longer chain, and immediately swap your spent coin for Zcash again. (At a different exchange just to be sure).

Now, you got twice the value of Zcash you needed, and due to Zcash shielded transactions can't be traced. You just have to hope that your shenanigans won't tank the value of Zcash.

Similar things could be done with Monero.
ARM still requires aligned access, I believe. And splitting a single variable across word or cache boundaries is still a bad idea.

More interesting is the question of whether to do traditional C struct style "row first" data layout, or whether to do "column first" data layout which may be better for use with SIMD.

> Taking that 3% and allocating towards your own developers contributing to OSS gives everyone more bang for the buck right?

Maybe, maybe not. Projects can be rate-bound on other issues than rando's work-time e.g. maintainer's financial incentives or troubles, infrastructure, … in which case more contributors isn't necessarily helpful. Keep in mind 3% dev time is about a week / week-and-a-half, how relevant it is depends heavily on the specific project and developer.

And the 3% developer time is not necessarily equivalent to 3% revenue (e.g. because they're contributing heavily to revenue growth). Plus tax incentives could be a factor, for the company there might be more for the buck giving 3% revenue than keeping revenue and giving employee time.
Yeah that's exactly how it's going to work. Standardized testing is very rarely effective when employed in this fashion as a proxy for "talent" or "drive" or "good employee". It usually ends up being a proxy for something else.

This also pushed the onus on candidate selection even further on to the candidate, when it's clearly a lack of trust from employers that you are capable of what you put on your CV. Testing that should be the burden of the employer, not the employee.

One key difference between software engineering and other engineering disciplines is that there are many more ways to solve most problems, many more problems to solve, and an endless number of customizations. At a concrete level what does the canonical "web app" look like? We can say "3 tier architecture" but that's abstract -- which technologies should you pick? When should you pick ruby over python? What about when you should pick a document store of a relational database (OK that ones kinda easy) -- these are the questions that good engineers can answer and refute -- there's usually not an absolutely right answer, either.

I personally also feel the same way about the CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator) -- hire someone with a CKA and sure that means they know the Kubernetes basics/internals (as it stood whenever they took the test), but does that mean they keep up? Experiment with new tech/RFCs/features (so your company doesn't have to with the product on the line)? Can they choose not to use Kubernetes when it's not necessary?

Rather than just building good, multi-layered interview questions with subtly random parts and lots of room for interpretation (to see how they interpret and think about the problem), we just pick these solutions that are somewhat broken from yesteryear (see: it/sysadmin/networking certs).

"My working theory is something like “romanticism/emotionalism vs. abstract rationalism”; if you’re writing something that benefits from immediate experience and emotional input (e.g. Kafka writing about nightmarish bureaucracy after working all day in an insurance firm) then it is better to write at night, after the events of the day have happened and your mind has been operating for 12+ hours."

"Classes get in the way between the programmer and the problem. They force you to reify your thinking into "things" (classes) that demand names and citizenship rights, so to speak, in the system. These "things" don't really exist, but we act like they do, and so increasingly see the problem in terms of the classes we've defined."

There's zero regulation on the software industry, and prices have trended to zero. I suspect the problem with the health care industry is much deeper than not enough regulation.

I'm not using 10GB! I was not implying that. I am however using cat6 cables and I get around 800mbps speed around the house. I have PoE injector and some of my devices (access point, cameras, raspberrypies) are powered through the cable. I was genuinely wondering if one of the disadvantages of optical cables is the lack of PoE, due to the lack of copper wires.

It's not an optimisation. It's to encapsulate logic which does not need to be present in public headers.

Given that it makes every object instantiation perform a memory allocation, followed by required indirection to accesss it, and will also prevent the creation of default copy constructor and assignment operator etc. due to use of unique_ptr, it adds complexity as well as two sources of performance loss.

As a result, I would use this pattern only where strictly necessary. For example, I've used it when wrapping C libraries with C++ classes. It means the C headers aren't included in the public C++ headers, only the implementation, making the implementation cleaner. Or I might use it in situations where private members drag in dozens of headers which expose a lot of unnecessary implementation details to the user, which might drag in transitive library dependencies simply by #including the headers. The fact that the compilation speed might be marginally faster is incidental to this.
Fairly interesting read. It's about their accumulated piles of cash, what investors think about it and founder-investor dynamics.

The main comparison point and conclusion is interestingly straightforward: Google gets to keep their pile o' cash because founders still control voting rights. The economic analysis is traditional (principal-agent issues) but I think it undersells the differences from theory.

Eg, investors are still happily buying "founder controlled" shares like Google and Tesla even though the principal-agent problem is huge on paper. Reminds me of musk said: spaceX can't have public investors because going to mars doesn't give you the best risk adjusted returns. Investors will want to launch satellites for cash, not risk everything to go to mars where there are no customers.

The hitch is that these investors will still buy the shares even if the mission is "mars." They'll campaign for a more lucrative mission and eventually win.

Perhaps these "founder control" arrangements are a way of creating kinds of "investment doctrines." Either way, their existence (beyond founders that simply own lots of shares) suggests that public shares create governance problems that aren't explainable via principal-agent or some other traditional economic explanation.
I've read parts of Halmos + Rudin, and I think that they would be a fast track to higher level pure math, but I've known people who've gone down such path and end up being able to prove Fubini's theorem using measure theory without understanding what it means.

The ideal approach for a self learner, which would simulate the university experience, would be doing as many problems in Schaum's outlines for math subjects and supplementing the info with textbooks/online resources.
I have costed it. The cable itself is indeed a rounding error. I would suggest getting plastic piping installed with the cable inside and some strings. Then you can pull more cable when need to.
Absolutely not true. The problem is not the compilation of one single file, but that every one of these single files pulls in large amounts of headers, distributed over various libraries (e. g. Qt/Boost/STL), all of which won't fit into the disk cache.

If it doesn't make a difference, all that means is that your project is small, or doesn't have too many dependencies. Good for you. But that's not the reality for all projects.

"there is no reason my money should pay for the care of others"

Isn't the cultural issue largely a idealogical issue - things like the UK NHS are avowedly socialist? In the words of Aneurin Bevan, founder of the NHS:

" A free health service is pure Socialism and as such it is opposed to the hedonism of capitalist society."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneurin_Bevan

Personally, at least when it comes to healthcare, I'm a socialist:

"The collective principle asserts that ... no society can legitimately call itself civilised if a sick person is denied medical aid because of lack of means."
I am not sure where you get that 1.5 Billion number from, I don't see Horace mentioning it. But the latest number of Active Devices, as Tim Cook mentioned a 100M increase would equate to 1.4B Active Devices. ( Which is actually slower than previous momentum, as they were adding 150M / year between 2016 and 2017. )
I'm just curious - why do I primarily see Chinese researchers publishing deep learning stuff on arXiv? Is it subsidized over there? Just look at the publications linked in this thread so far, 2/3 are from Beijing.
I dream about typescript becoming statically compiled language. Or hybrid language similar to dart and flutter, which in dev mode is interpreted for fast reload times and in production it gets compiled to native code.
This very much depends upon the project. Have you seen the size of C++ object files with -g3 and lots of template usage? It can swallow tens of gigabytes of disc space only to have the linker elide most of it and give you a library or executable a few megabytes in size. Compared with the size of the inputs, the output is causing a vastly disproportionate amount of disc I/O, and this can end up being limiting, both during compilation and in particular during linking.
Just the learning would suffice.
bash's EPOCHREALTIME was inspired by mksh, which was in turn inspired by zsh. And in zsh, EPOCHREALTIME was named after the system real-time clock (specifically the CLOCK_REALTIME clock ID passed to clock_gettime()). And i imagine that was named by analogy with hardware real-time clocks, since they both track human ('real') time. But i don't know much about electronics or the history of POSIX clock sources.
