I've always heard it explained as "decimal", but in any case %i is also accepted for integers.

edit: it's not clear that this is true in python, which I missed (although experimentally it works), but it is true in at least C89, where %d and %i are equivalent for output formats, and in input formats are distinguished by %d accepting only decimal digits numbers, while %i interprets octal and hex (0-, 0x-) numbers as strtol would.

Related work; on the deniable side: shadowsocks, a proxy designed to look like https traffic, wireguard may fulfill the same kind of goal (using generic session protocols like the noise framework might help deniability); on the generic p2p internet/web: gnunet (large project, quite experimental, has naming, routing/transport, some application protocols).

Don’t set up a legal entity.

Find the nugget of your idea. Do something to get market feedback.

Eg your idea is Uber for pet food - go interview people leaving a big pet food store and ask them if they’re interested. Old school market research.

Or say your idea is a sports news site for minor teams. Set up an MVP that serves for your local team and promote it, see how many many people go to the site. MVP could be a stream of article links from other sites, or perhaps better a newsletter via email. On site have sign up box for other teams.

Market feedback is key. Once you have a good signal, continue building and gather more feedback.

So you claim that decoding flat buffers and protobuf is faster than decoding with `struct`? I'm pretty much aware of various flaws and even stated some, but I barely buy that claim without a separate benchmark (which I really welcome by the way).

At least I fully understand what the `struct` module actually does under the hood---it sorta compiles to a list of fields and "interprets" the dead simple VM in C. Oh, of course I've used the precompiled `struct.Struct` for that reason (but it was only 20% faster). Anyway, this arrangement is typical for most schematic serialization formats in any language: a bunch of function calls for gluing the desired format, plus a set of well-optimized core functions (not necessarily written in C :-). Henceforth my justification that this is close to the "bare-bones" serialization format.
Culturally it seems to me like no countries that I know of do value animal lives. Except some dogs and cats etc. Humans seem to have a hard enough time not killing other humans. Mostly for me it's depressing seeing westerners protesting Chinese cruelty, while not even noticing it in their own countries, because it's the way they were brought up, I guess; their own country's kind of cruelty is invisible. Where are you, maybe it's somewhere more enlightened?
In semi-arid southern Australia, even with a native (low-rainfall) grass, the "lawns" need help through the summer. In the cities I've no idea of the split between native grasses and thirsty "decorative" grasses - but both are common.

”if we attribute this 4% delta entirely to the announcement, the market is guessing the actual penalty will amount to $1.84B”

No, the market’s guess is $1.84B higher today than it was yesterday. The latter likely isn’t zero, as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBS_tax_evasion_controversies#... states ”In July 2014, the bank was required to post a bond of 1.1 billion euros, which UBS complied with while making multiple appeals in the French court system, finally losing its appeal at the Cour de Cassation, France's highest court”
The further down the genetics rabbit hole you go, the more you realize how little we know. At the same time, the further down the cancer rabbit hole you go, the more you realize tumor size and tumor relationships to certain anatomic thresholds (vascular invasion, serosal involvement, etc) really, really matter.

For most cancer staging, anatomic thresholds remain the gold standard of staging. For many lymphomas and leukemias, and certain solid tumors, there are some specific genetic tidbits we have been able to tease out.

Sequencing by synthesis, whole slide imaging, mass spec, and just simple inventory control (e.g. barcoding specimens, blocks, and slides) are likely to significantly improve cancer care. Probably the biggest gains will be from barcoding samples. At some point in the distant future we'll have sufficient control of the inventory problem to actually do meaningful epidemiological studies where we can fluidly move through population data, prescribing and procedure data, anatomic data, histologic data, and finally into the molecular realms of mass spec and sequencing. But I think a lot of people think "We can just sequence this tumor and prescribe the appropriate drug." But that totally misses the problem that you run into, where you very quickly end up with a study population of N=1 for a lot of things.

I think a growing number of researchers at the ground level understand this is going to involve many, many classes of very, very large data problems.
Something like ObservePoint[1] would be more appropriate for that use case.

Avo seems like it's designed to deal with consistency issues, rather than coverage issues. For example, say you have three different multistep sales funnels. You send a custom event "TrackFunnelStep" to both GA and Facebook at each step of the funnel. Where Avo would come in would be with defining precisely what that custom event should be (data structure, naming scheme, etc) and ensuring that everywhere "TrackFunnelStep" event ends up, it's used consistently. But Avo wouldn't stop you from forgetting to add the event to a step in the first place.

It's like there's this Big Pot of Gold sitting there up for grabs in the Bay Area. But whenever anybody mentions it, all these people come out of the woodwork to explain how that Pot of Gold is only in the Bay Area. Out here in Scott's Bluff Nebraska they only have this little bucket of rocks.

And that's all perfectly true. But our commenter then goes on to explain how we should all forget about that Pot of Gold and instead focus on how to get a few of those rocks, because that's all any of us are ever going to get.

No. That's not the takeaway you should have. If there's a Big Pot of Gold someplace waiting to be taken, your job should be to find a way to get some of that gold.

Yes, it won't happen immediately. You'll need to work on it. Maybe it'll take 5 years. Maybe 10. Maybe you'll need to actually go to the Bay Area for a few years at some point. But know that if you really want it, it absolutely is possible to achieve.

Google alone hires 10,000 engineers every year. Not all of them were born in Palo Alto and graduated top 1% from Stanford. There are dozens if not hundreds of companies who are hiring remote devs at Bay Area compensation packages.

> Since malloc() in libc uses brk, no language with C bindings can use brk.

Afaik there is no such thing as "malloc in libc", each libc has its own allocator which does its own thing, OpenBSD's hasn't used (s)brk in 15 years and Dragonfly pulled that in way back[0]. And freebsd's system allocator is jemalloc which can use mmap or sbrk (if the latter is available and compiled in) but will prefer mmap (unless otherwise configured, though that knob may have been removed since I last checked):

> Traditionally, allocators have used sbrk(2) to obtain memory, which is suboptimal for several reasons, including race conditions, increased fragmentation, and artificial limitations on maximum usable memory. If sbrk(2) is supported by the operating system, this allocator uses both mmap(2) and sbrk(2), in that order of preference; otherwise only mmap(2) is used.

More broadly, (s)brk is considered deprecated in most if not all BSDs

* OpenBSD: The brk() and sbrk() functions are historical curiosities left over from earlier days before the advent of virtual memory management.

* FreeBSD: The brk() and sbrk() functions are legacy interfaces from before the advent of modern virtual memory management. They are deprecated and not present on the arm64 or riscv architectures. The mmap(2) interface should be used to allocate pages instead.

* macOS: The brk and sbrk functions are historical curiosities left over from earlier days before the advent of virtual memory management.

* NetBSD: The brk and sbrk functions are legacy interfaces from before the advent of modern virtual memory management.

And while glibc might use (s)brk, it hopefully doesn't bother releasing the (s)brk allocations as that would be a significant amount of work for usually no ability to release anything anyway (unless it's an arena-type use), meaning others can probably (s)brk as well, as long as they don't assume they're the only caller.

An other point of interest: on Solaris[1] and its descendants ([2], [3]) not only is mmap(2) recommended, the manpage plain tells you

> The behavior of brk() and sbrk() is unspecified if an application also uses any other memory functions (such as malloc(3C), mmap(2), free(3C)).

Since you mentioned Buddhism you probably know what it's about, but for the benefit of someone that might be curious,

The Buddhist perspective is that none of this is actually real. It's all an elaborate illusion. The battle is an illusion, the cancer is an illusion, and death itself is an illusion.

Like the film Matrix, we live in a virtual world. Everything we see is a creation of our mind. All our perspectives, experiences, everything we feel, our cravings and impulses, none of this is actually real.

Our mind has both the power to create anything but also the power to understand how fragile and empty those creations are. Everyone has the Buddha nature.

Anyway what Buddha discovered is that we suffer because we are attached to the creations of our mind (such as the idea of being alive and the fear of dying). And he proposed a fix that is very simple, just see reality as it is: empty. Devoid of substance. That's it. This insight is elaborated in four points and is called the four noble truths.

Now, Buddhism isn't an intellectual exercise. Just having a cognitive understanding of the Buddhist philosophy is too limited and isn't how you practice Buddhism. Just believing in Buddha or any teaching is useless.

You practice Buddhism by having the right motivation (which is to bring benefits to all beings - since they, too, deserve to be free from suffering), having the right vision and acting the right way. This can be elaborated in eight points and comprise the noble eightfold path if you want to look up.

To follow this path, you need to convince your unconscious mind of those goals: too often we know what's the right thing to do but fail to act on it. And it's much easier to understand Buddha's insight than to fully incorporate it into your unconscious mind.

We do this by training the mind through meditation. Meditating helps you to release yourself from the slavery of always having to follow your own desires and impulses, but also enables the deepest parts of your mind to perceive reality as it really is. It's Buddha's mind hack.

It's never too late to practice a little bit of meditation. Just search for some guided meditation video on YouTube and follow it (5 mins is enough). You don't really need to believe anything nor abandon your religion and it may benefit you and, due to the way it changes you, benefit those around you.

Fundamental laws are "just" models, and models are only as good as we can validate them. My day-to-day involves running simulations of physical systems and while things like the Navier-Stokes equations are well known and understood (to the best we can), the difficult part comes in the constants we use in the models to describe specific aspects. The Navier-Stokes equations themselves can describe and tell us how fluids behave, but we still need constitutive models to describe the fluid. We get those models by proposing ideas and testing them.

What is you are really talking about is self-contradictory drivel, claiming that Unices were diverse and in the next breath stating that they only had "either BSD init or sysvinit". Clearly, you are presenting ahistoric rubbish. Trying to introduce strawmen, as you now are, when shown that is at best diversionary.

The simple, but sadly not well known and in your case outright denied, truth is that the Unix world took stuff out of the old inittab+runlevels system that you erroneously claim was one of the the only two things going, and had service managers with many of the features that one would recognize today, from auto-restart through requirements not to "daemonize" and specialized configuration languages for setting processes up that replace shell scripts and dedicated control/administration tools to per-socket-connection instantiation with environment variables describing the endpoints, two decades ago.

More:

* "A mobile phone knows its phone number." The phone cannot know its own phone number without making a call or sending a text message. Some SIM cards carry an "own phone number" record but it is not authoritative and sometimes inaccurate.

* "A SIM card is permanently assigned to a phone number." SIM cards to phone number relationship can be many:many and change over time.

* "<Social app X> requires phone number to sign up, so we should too." Users actually react very differently when a messaging app asks for their phone number (useful to find contacts) vs a calculator app or a game or an app where they want to be anonymous.
