The content of ads rarely matches with something I'm actually interested but uninformed in. The most wasteful ads are probably the ones about products I already bought, or the ones about products referring to a conversation partner or shared links to websites which hold interest to the sending party, not the receiving one. The ads are very targeted but not targeted at someone who would ever buy the advertised thing.

If only one could 'scan' the product they just bought to no longer see any ads about it...
Hydrogen gas stations ain't convenient either lmao
Not all buyers are fancy truck buyers. Many farm and commercial vehicles will benefit greatly from this.
>Mockus, the only son of a Lithuanian artist, burst onto the Colombian political scene in 1993 when, faced with a rowdy auditorium of the school of arts’ students, he dropped his pants and mooned them to gain quiet.

The sarcastic question about my reading being uncharitable is amusingly disconnected from your original, extremely uncharitable comment about the OP.
After learning about the narcissistic prayer and having siblings and my SO tell me that they thought my mom has it she proceeded to pretty much say this exactly after wiping her wet hands off on my shirt in the kitchen when we were visiting. Just remove the 'you deserved it'.

I asked her to not open our private mail when we were moving and had to redirect it to my parents (no other relatives nearby) and after doing so she threw a fit and threatened to kill herself on a main street in the capital rather than to say that she was sorry to my SO for opening all out mail.

She even sent me photos in a fit of rage proving that she knew the mail was fine to open, because it said it was just a bill for the redirecting in one case, something that was only visible from the inside after opening.
Don't despair. Understand that school work is just a framework that you leverage. Technologies change, processes change, tools change, especially in large enterprises. Target your ultimate job, and apply at par positions for your experience in the technology stack. If you can learn, have positive attitude you will progress quickly. Good luck
How would a small business advertise a new short-term promotion to people in the area when all local papers are gone?
As with every manufactured good, certain things are prioritized. Your small commodity laptop battery was likely made to be cheap and light, but not necessarily built to last a long time.

That's like comparing a lawn mower engine and an engine in a car designed to last hundreds of thousands of kilometers. They just weren't designed with the same things in mind.

Tesla especially has done a fantastic job with the chemistry and cooling allowing their batteries to have long life even when they are rapidly charged (which usually wrecks batteries).
You are free to get a buyers agent that does represent you. In that case, the buyer’s agent and seller’s agent split the cost.
There are a lot of things in life that would be a lot easier if only they were different. The problem is that we are dealing with a wicked problem.

We need energy to survive especially being as many as we are, poor countries are depending on cheap reliable energy and don't care about the climate. They are trying to survive today.

So it all comes back to what the consequences will be of what you are going to propose as a solution.

If for ex. the choice was between making fossil fuel illegal or allow it to be used as it is being used today then I would definitely be choosing the latter so that we can continue to have growth and create the surplus to come up with better solutions.
Bogle's greatest legacy might be... socialism.

Index funds are slowly consuming more and more capital. To achieve democratic socialism smoothly, all we have to do is set up state-owned index funds, and let them keep growing until they've accumulated all of the capital.

Voila, full democratic ownership of the means of production!
If i understand correctly the binary is created from the source code right. Am i missing anything?

I think the criticism is quite clear. Asking a question as a headline is a form of clickbait. If the statement implied by the question was a verifiable fact, it would be posed as such instead of lying by phrasing it as a question.

It's already a critique of the cliche being used in the headline. Use of this rhetorical device already casts doubt upon the veracity of the content therein, not to mention the skill of the writer.

Also, ironically enough, by posing a question in the headline, the answer of said question is automatically "no." You've now saved yourself the time you'd otherwise have wasted reading the article.

Although you may think that the comment pointing out Betteridge is a tired meme, you should really be ridiculing the writer of the article for utilizing the tired meme of putting unverifiable information into the world by writing a headline as a question.
I doubt that purpose build data structures optimizing L1/L2 cache, will be slower (or even similar to ) a database running on the same machine. Assuming, of course, that all that's needed can be fit into memory. Databases will do much better when you need to spill to disk.

There is a data structure called Judy arrays, invented by Doug Baskins. Judy array was used at some point in time in Erlang to back up its ets tables.

The paper (2003) comparing various data structures for that task is here

[1] http://erlang.org/workshop/2003/paper/p43-fritchie.pdf

"....

For unsorted tables with populations of 70,000 keys or more, performance improvement by using the judyeh table type instead of set is easily measurable and signiﬁcant.

This improvement can be seen with keys in sequential order and random order during operations involving table insertion, lookup, and counter updates.

The deletion operation is not as fast as set, but deletion’s extra cost is smaller than the beneﬁt of insertion, lookup, and update operations combined.
Furthermore, the additional RAM required by judyeh tables is quite modest.

The judyeh table type requires only about 6% more than set tables, which is smaller than the additional 15% required for the same data in an ordered set table.

The only operation this research examines which is significantly worse for judyeh tables than set tables is table traversal using the ets:next/2 function.

…".

Would be interesting how Judy arrays are compared to radix
Sadly very common. Esp in areas where the lister is worried about parties.
Many people bought Teslas because they were cool, not because they were helping the environment. Tesla gave consumers what they wanted AND it happened to be better for the environment.

Jordan Peterson is a pseudo intellectual because he pretends to have a deep understanding of Marxism and postmodernism, but when pushed, he admits that he hasn't even read the people he criticizes. He uses his position as a professor to give himself authority but his ideas wouldn't last 3 seconds in an environment where people had any background in the things he's talking about. There are people who are criticized unfairly for being a pseudo intellectual but Jordan Peterson isn't one of them. Any set of criteria for what constitutes a pseudo intellectual will include people like JBP unless you exclude people with academic jobs.

As for whether I dislike his ideas, I can't really get too worked up about most of what he says. It's sort of trite and he seems to have a very mildy authoritarian personality and his views on gender seem to be pretty unimaginative, but this is true about a lot of people. He seems to have some helpful advice for young people (take responsibility for yourself, etc.) that some people say they really need to hear, so it's not all bad. But at the same time, he's also a charlatan when he talks about political theory.
Wow, in the UK it is about 1 - 2%.
Sure, the great wall was a much more logistically complex feat that had great success. It wasn't perfect by any means (nothing is) but it's rate of failure was very very low and it's successes were very valuable for China. Adding modern amenities (supplemental drone surveillance, satellite, electric monitoring, etc) and it's pretty clear the wall will be effective, the question is simply how effective.

There are other walls you can look up. I think the easiest proof that walls work is to ask - if they didn't why do people and countries continue to build them?

Video gambling is totally amok in many parts of Chicago and its environs.

For people who haven't seen it in person: even regular Mom & Pop restaurants have video slots. Donut shops. Italian sandwiches. Bars. Imagine if Subway devoted a quarter of its restaurants to video slots. It's crazy.

And watching the people who play these games it's obvious it's not rich people, it's most often (IMO) fixed-income retirees. People who can least afford it.

I'm for legalized gambling but what's going on in Illinois right now is totally bonkers. Legalizing video slots and putting them everywhere is the second dumbest idea in Illinois since Mayor Daley sold off some of the highways.

I'm pretty disappointed in your explanation of a radix tree, since I'd only had a very cursory exposure to one before. I don't think it's a good or even decent explanation. The point you try to make about how the tree only stores the end node is pretty incomprehensible when you are coming from a single digit BST to this. You should have sorted something that at least made sense to sort with a radix tree in your example.
Not the OP, but I've recently had several similar discussions with friends/family about trucks when I bought my Tesla. I live in Tennessee, a popular truck area.

They claimed to like trucks for the convenience. Being able to throw stuff in the back and not have to think about whether it will fit in a car. While I do understand this advantage, it would only help me 2-3 times a year, and I aim to optimize for the 95% of daily driving.

There is definitely a social and fashion element to it too, just like there is with any brand/type of vehicle.
No my solution is to look at both the positives and the negatives and since you or anyone else haven't been able to show a single piece of scientifically demonstrated evidence that the consequences are going to be impossible for us to deal with then I choose to prioritize poor nations chance to grow more wealth over unproven, unscientific and hysterical speculation.

the cool thing about Arango is that you can use all data models also in a cluster setting and combine the models as you need. A pretty nice and helpful community around the project as well.
There is plenty of demand for short range commercial pickup trucks. Think of "on campus" maintenance vehicles. You need to tow equipment trailers, haul tools and bulk items, but you don't put many miles on them. A trip to the gas station is a pure waste of employee time, just charge them up at night.

Marketing may prevent Ford from leading with a short range truck, but a less than eye wateringly expensive vehicle with a lighter battery pack and less range would find buyers and make a safer, low volume launch.

I've been doing 23 hour (dinner-to-dinner) fasts twice a week (not back to back days) for nearly 6 years. It's the easiest form of weight control I've come across. It's nice to see it may extend my longevity as well. Anyone wanting to try it just know the first 2-3 times are the most difficult. It does get much easier after that. I've had blood levels checked and it stunned my doctor. He said my LDL is at the level of child under 10 years old. If anyone has questions about 23 hour fasts I'll gladly answer them.
Over worried a bit much, no? A large majority of people staying in any given shared living place do not get bed bugs. Plus staying in your car doesn't really fly when you have a family or take an airplane and have no car.

Bogle is remembered primarily for his role in launching index funds, but I think a more telling part of his legacy is the structure of Vanguard, the firm he started, now the world's most trustworthy (and among the very largest) investment firms.

Unlike most firms, Vanguard's funds own the firm, rather than the other way around. The funds are owned by Vanguard's customers, who transitively own the company. Vanguard "pays cost" for all the work its management and staff performs.

To illustrate how powerful this structure is, see Matt Levine's writing about "the fake moon landing of financial news stories": a claim by a former Vanguard insider that the savings accrued to the funds (and thus customers) as its result constitute billions of dollars of taxable income (under the IRS whistleblower rules, some percentage of those taxes would go to the insider!):

Bogle is a giant and a good guy in a field not packed full of good guys. RIP.
Curious. VLC on MacOS doesn't exhibit any of the weird UI glitches that other Qt apps have, and an inspection of the package shows it doesn't contain any Qt frameworks.

VLC's Wiki [1] says: "Qt / Qt4 is the default, plain, graphical, interface to VLC, made using the Qt library (Linux users may need to have this installed). It is used as the default interface on the Windows and Linux versions of VLC media player from version 0.9.0 and above."

[1]: https://wiki.videolan.org/Qt_Interface/

I googled for "dropbox mac qt" and only found this page [2] from 2014 which says they were experimenting with rewriting the Dropbox UI in Qt for Linux and Windows. The linked post [3] says the Qt rewrite is for Windows and Linux only.

[2]: http://www.webupd8.org/2014/07/dropbox-ui-rewritten-in-qt-fo...
[3]: https://web.archive.org/web/20141015093406/https://forums.dr...

I consider Qt (along with Gtk+) to be native on Linux -- there's no more-native toolkit that it's wrapping or emulating.

So I find it interesting that these cross-platform applications (Wikipedia lists 9 platforms for VLC!) both use Qt for only 2 platforms, and 1 of those is where it's native, anyway. These are mature applications which have clearly put a lot of effort into both user experience and cross platform support, and they have already gone to the trouble of implementing their UI in Qt, but for most platforms they choose not to use it.

What I get from this is: Qt is useful as a cross-platform GUI toolkit only for targeting Windows. Is that overly cynical?

battery in a laptop != car battery. Different compound and different spec. 350,000 kms shouldn't be a problem for a new electric car if you are fine with lower range.

Tesla gives you 8 years warranty for the battery so 10 years shouldn't be an issue. The battery may survive 20 years.

Even if you have to replace the battery it's really nothing comparing to ICE (oil, sparks, DPF etc.)
If there are multiple drivers within your radius, Uber applies an algorithm to decide which driver gets you as a passenger. Their rating affects this, so if they have a had rating they'll have less passengers in high traffic areas.
Also, interviewing itself is a skill

Agree so much with this, it took a lot of time for me personally to realize the 'art' (so to speak) of the interview and when that happened a lot of the stress vanished, I learned how to have conversations and not just rattle off answers to questions as if I were writing an exam essay.

That was a big mental shift for me in my career, it has paid off immensely and it's a piece of advice I will always share for others looking for better outcomes in the job hunt.

Supplemental to interviewing as well is learning to negotiate effectively and strategically, this is ultimately your career and you have as much say in where it goes as the companies that employ you. They want maximum value and output from you as an employee, it only makes sense that the early conversations properly set expectations that you want the company to return on that output (via compensation, benefits and all that good stuff) commensurately.
no they are massive. the new tacomas are huge. i miss my 99 ranger :(
There is another angle. Many alaskans are concerned about being overserved, and overdeveloped. many people, even those in the "railbelt" choose to live offgrid, many eschewing electricity, and goverment/corporate overreach into a very private lifestyle.

>And people who actually need pain management are unable to get it because other people insist they know better. And doctors are afraid to prescribe adequate amounts of pain killers.

This is also a real problem, but I think a strong argument can be made that the Sacklers fraud is responsible for it too. A lot of the fear and under-prescription that now happens is a direct result of a strong backlash that itself was in response to the opioid epidemic and the massive damage that resulted. If that had never happened, then rather then the pendulum swinging way too far towards opioids everywhere and then (as is so often the case) right back over the neutral to suspicious of any opioids allowed for anyone anywhere, it could have been more steady state. Doctors would have known how serious the drugs were and been careful with prescriptions all along. Those who really needed them would get them, those who didn't would be directed elsewhere. If it never became such a political cause with so much rightful public interest and anger, then none of would intrude on the medical process.

So really the Sacklers may well have screwed people over coming and going. People who would have been fine without were turned into addicts and had their lives ruined, and now people with horrendous chronic pain have to suffer with it and have their lives ruined.

DNS logs -- logs of name lookups to the internal DNS server, which will include source IP of the DNS lookup (note: UDP, can be spoofed). Look up source IP in DHCP lease table to find hostname and mac address of device on wifi that is assigned that source IP.

RADIUS logs -- RADIUS = AAA server (authorization, authentication, accounting). Basically, a server that answers the question "given these credentials, what resources can this user access?" All new connections to the network will show up in RADIUS logs. As a user, when you have your "own" wifi username and password (e.g. on an access point configured to use WPA Enterprise), usually what happens is the access point asks an external RADIUS server to authenticate the credentials, and then the DHCP server asks the RADIUS server to authorize the user for an IP address assignment.
>>...the environment will definitely appreciate the electrified...

Nobody is concerned about the countries (e.g. Bolivia) involved to extract the materials needed for the batteries => this might kill them (on one hand I agree saying "they should be able to care for themselves", but on the other hand there are gigantic interests at play which will put huge pressure on their governments/politicians) => whoever buys a battery nowadays should think twice about its environmentally-friendliness?

Ideally, we don't want to re-play the oil-wars, in a different theatre? Hopefully not?

I wouldn’t mock a data layer unless I was unit testing (for example) response codes on a route depending on the data layer. In those cases you aren’t interested in the data as much as how it is handled. I like to be able to point an integration test at a “clean” database in order to test a data layer. In this way you can have separate tests to basically ensure your API responses and database queries are all valid given your database is in a valid state and the API request is valid. With this kind of setup I rarely actually have to run an application anymore to feel it is in good working condition, and that saves me a LOT of time.
