Yes, it is the same size. I agree, a complex test like that in the original article is better (the Throughput versus Latency section).

The graphs from the "latency" test are doing this:

for (;;) {
h = hash( val, seed );
seed += h;
}

The original smhasher did this:

for (;;) {
hash( val, seed );
}
Negotiating product for next to nothing seems like an attractive offer to whoever their customers are.

Spotify is much better than any of their competition.
It's an argument of rent-seeking vs rent-seeking. Apple technically has a right to a cut on all purchases made through their platform; however there may be a conflict of interest in this case as they own one of the direct competitors to Spotify (Apple Music). Regardless, at the end of the day the artists are the ones that lose out on $$$ and are getting screwed.
> Did the results of this experiment differ from what quantum mechanics predicts? No? Then what is the point of publishing it?

Quick counterexample: By that logic, do you think results showing agreement with Einstein's GR should have never been released? I'm taking a wild guess that your answer is "no". This case is not any different.

> It begins with a single polarized photon that, when measured, can have either a horizontal polarization or a vertical polarization. But before the measurement, according to the laws of quantum mechanics, the photon exists in both polarization states at the same time—a so-called superposition.

Pardon my basic understanding, but doesn't it meant that it's both simply because it hasn't been measured - and therefor we don't know? Meaning it's either one or the other; at a very fast rate, it's both.
Don't worry, they won't give you any of that back, unfortunately. We moved out of California last year, but during the drought we cut back like everyone. How did the water company reward us? Oh, they didn't make enough money anymore because everyone was conserving water so they raised everyone's rates. Sheer madness.
The general idea is that as long as your particles are not entangled with the system’s particles then from your point of view they remain in a superposition.

The conversation simply represents the idea that the causal cone of the observed system is now interacting with the particles of the observer, making them entangled and so ‘collapsing’ the wave function or whatever you want to calm it.
Meanwhile, people complain about quantum theory research on a device that exists thanks to years of quantum theory research.
Wait a minute. Apple actually directly addresses most if not all of the Spotify claims. I did not read the entire article but this is absolutely not true. I don’t think Spotify has a leg to stand on here. I’m all for equal opportunity, but aside from being a music sharing service, what have they really done? Apple built the platform, store and payment system. Spotify is welcome to complete with something better.
I get your point. I got your point the first time. But there are a lot of "ifs" in your hypothesis.

Meanwhile Apple is not attempting to undercut Spotify in the retail space. And they are paying artists substantially more than Spotify for the music so they're clearly not attempting to run a more profitable business.
Where's the inconsistency? Presumably the socialist environmentalists you refer to want both reduced consumption of products that harm the environment and a massive decrease in inequality. So they don't want 'only the 1%' to be able to afford those things; they want everyone to be able to afford to use them very sparingly.
Economic water boarding, obviously.
I doubt it, but it's hard to tell. More will become clear once they've actually released the langauge - as it is, this whole website seems super premature, since neither the language itself nor the source code to any real software written in it are available for public consumption.

The documentation that exists is minimalist enough that I would be very careful about assuming it represents a complete representation of the language's features.
I'm in Foothill Ranch. My last two runs, since the Painted Lady butterflies have shown up, have been so fascinating. They're like leaves on the wind.

It's such an incredible sight, it's like something out of a movie and it's very hard to put in to words the exact experience.
I believe it's illegal in the Bay Area, I seem to recall someone getting in trouble for doing so.
Yep.

An optimist: I could make a start-up and become a billionaire, or at least get $million/year at a FAANG.

A pessimist: I'd probably be sharing a studio apartment and eating dry dog food, or maybe even homeless like so many of the people there.

You see it outside of tech too, for example in acting. The optimist sees movie stars getting over $100,000,000 per movie, so they throw all their belongings in a duffel bag and take the next greyhound to Hollywood. The pessimist knows that most actors fail, with many working minimum wage or risking their health to make NSFW movies. Another place is sports, with the optimist focused on top players and the pessimist well-aware that most are lucky to end up as gym teachers.

So the optimist goes to the Bay Area, gambling his life, and the pessimist chooses a more reliable path in life.

Range reads do create conflict ranges for the entire range even if you use offsets. Not only does it create the conflict range, I think it actually does the work of reading the data, it just isn’t returned to you. This is why it is an O(N) operation with the size of the offset.

Not sure of the exact scenario you’re envisioning with atomic ops, but they’re essentially blind writes from what I understand. I don’t know how blind writes relate to transaction isolation, but I’m sure someone can fill in the details.
To be fair not every Github repo cares whether you know what it is or not. Some people just wanted the repo hosting and the public/social aspect was merely a byproduct.
"Actually Apple Music (the streaming version) I believe came after Spotify. Anticompetitive regulations are about penalizing behavior that discourages new entrants to the market.

What? No, they're not just about protecting new entrants, and if you think about it for five seconds it should be obvious why. Microsoft lost it's 1998 antitrust case, despite Internet Explorer being released after Netscape.

This is the key though. They are Apple's customers.

So then what's the problem? They have a cheaper supply chain, they have (according to you) a better product and their biggest competitor isn't attempting to undercut them. And the vast majority of their revenue isn't filtered through Apple's 30%. They've got nothing to complain about.
But it's impossible to move the Overton window because of the massive TurboTax bribes.

That's kind of my point. I buy coffee every week but rarely the same one. In fact discovering, comparing and contrasting various beans, washes, roasts and preparation types is half the joy of coffee.
It's interesting that you chose Elixir, Groovy, Scala, and Clojure as examplars - they seem like failures from an adoption standpoint.

Go, your exception, is by far the most successful of the languages listed.
What do you use for your log aggregation and time series?
The experts in the field are wary to put a definitive time frame on 'freshness' because there are many variables at play (and a lot of product to sell). Here is a good overview: https://www.seattlecoffeegear.com/blog/2016/06/26/long-coffe...

I will grant that not very long ago, the fear of coffee going bad pretty quick was probably valid. But today packaging systems available to even the home roaster allow you to flush oxygen, displace C02, and/or vacuum seal.

I am not trying to argue that flavor stays the same for several months. But I call marketing BS on the warning that you have a week from when your beans were roasted to either enjoy them or to suffer the consequences.
If I was advising Apple on how to react to this manufactured crisis, I'd use it as an opportunity to voluntarily raise whatever royalty payment(s) go directly to the artists.

They already pay more to artists than Spotify, but the best way to win the argument is to make the comparison comprehensively unambiguous. Turn it into a competition on which service supports the artists more.
Oh trust me, I went above and beyond. Migrating a live app from mysql to pgsql. ALL the devops work for the entire company, then moving all that infrastructure to Docker and reducing costs so that all our apps run on one cluster of servers. Migrating multiple live apps from one provider to another without downtime. Working late and even weekends. Rewriting a server completely to make it much more robust and less buggy. Rewriting the database and serializer parts of our API because the original coders used super slow implementations. Implementing multiple experiments using various databases to deal with another slow codebase. Dealing with teams of contractors that wrote code so shitty, it would make one cry, it was so horrible. Then having to take charge of their shitty mess because they sure as fuck won't. Saving the company over $100k a year by not using ridiculously priced API gateway services. Bringing in another dev to help out when our other main developer left.

I could go on and on. Any one of those things was above and beyond on its own and I never once got a performance based bonus, let alone a raise. Then we got new management and they rewarded us by cutting our vacation. I am completely unappreciated, or at the very least, that appreciation is not shown in any way that matters. I am, however, no longer at a spot in my life, thankfully, that work defines my life. I still make good money and I focus on other things in my life. I let the execs worry about deadlines and bullshit like that. They can panic and get anxiety all they want, it won't magically get the work done or get it done quicker. As I said, my bosses are decent in all other ways other than appreciating their employees with appropriate compensation / vacation. Who knows, that might change. I'm not holding my breath though.
Yes having to answer to the public markets and considering control issues of your company's shareholder composition can be a distraction.

I think you are underestimating what liquidity means. Liquidity means having access to the cheapest credit markets on the planet: commercial paper. Having access to the rest of the corporate bond markets too. Being able to dilute your shares and sell them at will. Being able to attract employees with tax efficient competitive compensation packages, again via share dilution so for free. People aren't just saying "liquidity" so that insiders can cash out of the stale balance sheet line items that they update once every 18 months.

A profitable company at a low valuation and larger addressable market is also a rare opportunity for non-accredited investors, solely because of the attitude of treating the public markets as an anethema and just using it to dump on everyone's mom's retirement account.
Funny thing. I see this article is from 2014 so I may have read it before, or been quoted to me before. But just last December I got into a discussion about clean code with someone who looks at me for some mentorship and I used this "line" (for lack of better term) to drive home my point. It wasn't verbatim of course, but I particularly remember the reference to "light German electronica", and I don't even listen to _any_ electronica to begin with.

And today I encounter the actual article where this originated from. This bit is iconic.

It doesn't, but it's not meaningless either. It can be a useful heuristic, for example when trying to judge what conditions are better for the animals involved. Nature sucks in various ways, but 'unnatural' conditions that the animal is not adapted to living in often do cause more mental and physical distress.
The Science Behind Why We Use ‘F’ Words
Problem is that on Amazon this approach does not guarantee no fake goods because Amazon mixes the real product they bought with fake product for 3rd party sellers in the same bin.
Funny you should mention "hot, dry, things burn". I once did a little digging into the matter, and it turns out that once ignition temperature is reached, the difference between a fresh green leaf igniting vs. a dry brown one is on the order of just a few seconds, maybe just one or two. Which is surprisingly fast, but not so surprising when you realize that advancing flame fronts may be in the high hundreds to low thousands of degrees - plenty hot enough to quickly desiccate even the freshest leaf. It turns out that bigger factors are the size and shape of the leaf in question, what type of plant it is, and of course what the winds are doing.

Physical wetness, though, may make quite a bit of difference, especially when it comes to a fire actually igniting to begin with. But even that may not matter so much when it comes to things like lightning strikes, which may be in the tens of thousands of degrees.

So, for example, if the temperature might normally be 70F but instead is closer to 100F, that small difference is minimal compared to the temperature of any flames. But it might make a huge difference to someone fighting those flames, unless maybe they are right in the thick of them.
>We of course can’t know but it shows that what the last of the Byzantine’s called themselves is not necessarily the end of the discussion.

Was Leroux given power or did he take it, though? I'd posit that there may be differences between hackers that are given power and "power hungry" hackers that crave/seek/take power. There are then further differences between those power hungry hackers that only operate legally and those that are willing to do illegal things. I guess I'm just trying to say that Beto doesn't seem to be trying to take power the way that Leroux did so the comparison may not be as valid.

The difference is that everyone who interacts with the App Store platform does so knowingly and voluntarily. (And Apple adds value for developers and for consumers, which means it's not technically rent-seeking.)

Whereas the artists who make music didn't do so with the intent of publishing on Spotify.
Out of curiosity, how is this better than, for instance, using B-splines or some other smoothing spline to fit a given chunk of data? I'm not being snarky, I'm just trying to get my head around the use cases for this.

But what does it really mean to "earn it"? What if someone had richer parents who could provide better education? What if someone was diagnosed with cancer after finishing that education? Does a $10M/yr. CEO really "deserve" their fortune? Has he really "busted his ass" anymore than a janitorial worker who works 3 jobs to make ends meet? What about affirmative action? What role does "inheritance of genes" play?

Luck plays a much greater role than many free-market, survival-of-the-fittest capitalists want to admit. And so why is it that luck in the form of health, talent, country of citizenship, physical attractiveness, etc. should be any less reason for envy (which is the real issue here) than the gift of money?

Meanwhile the major competitive platform to iOS is much, much larger and charges 30% for apps as well.

The main issue is that Apple doesn't allow you to use any other payment method - even via linking to a website - to use in-app purchases.

Take this analogy: Apple is a city and has exclusive say over whether or not you can build a brick-and-mortar store on their land. Apple here exclusively owns all of the land, and won't let anyone else build on it without their permission (required distribution via app store).

In the current situation, Apple is saying "you can rent the land here for free, as long as you give us 30% of your sales". As per their press release, A bunch of game apps take advantage of the free property and make money via ads, which don't give Apple any cut of the revenue.

Spotify is complaining that, in order to build on Apple's land, they have to pay this 30%. They say "fine. we'll pass the cost on to the consumer." and institute a $13/month charge instead of $10.

Now that Apple sees music streaming is a profitable market, they build a store right across the street from the established Spotify store. Since Apple is both the city (who takes a 30% cut) and the store itself, they can decide to make the consumer price $10/month without actually losing any profit as Spotify would. This makes a bunch of iOS (iOS-only) Spotify customers cancel Spotify and switch to the cheaper Apple Music.

Now Spotify is angry, and is taking it up with the state government (EU).
There's been a couple times that I've revisited a Wikipedia article and noticed that someone had erased a negative section about a person or organization. I've always wondered if it was organic or part of a larger for-pay effort
I’d also argue Apple wouldn’t be where they are without developers. Microsoft Office and early Macs come to mind.

To be honest the slaughtering didn't put me off as much as learning under which conditions those animals have to spend their lives. They should put pictures of that on the meat products, or show Dominion in schools.
There are places where animal manure is being used for the biogas production.

Whether or not American culture can be changed is besides the point. My point is that the article misidentifies the reason we don't have automatic tax filing. It's not the $5 million in Intuit/H&R Block lobbying, which is not a large amount of money. Intuit/H&R Block are simply riding much more powerful political forces that exist for other reasons.

(For the same reason, the $5 million in NRA lobbying each year is not why we don't pass laws limiting access to semi-automatic weapons for "disturbed adolescents." It's voters like me who are morally opposed to the government keeping a list of who can and cannot exercise their 2nd amendment rights. The lobbying is just so the NRA can remind politicians how many of us there are.)

I'm sad to say that except for trucks the majority of noises from highways these days is from tires. I read a rather long article, in the Atlantic I believe. Apparently car weights have been on the rise for 70 years and on top of that the trend for the same weight car is for wider tires. The increasing noise has been a constant pain for highway planners because population density is increasing, traffic is increasing, and noise per car is increasing. Technology for noise abatement is improving, but expensive.

Given that Tesla cars and anything with similar range is likely to be another 1000 pounds heavier than cars in it's class, the prospect for quieter cars is poor.

Stand on a sidewalk sometime and listen. At constant speed or slowing down electric cars vs normal cars are pretty similar, but be careful to compare cars of similar vintage. This is part of the way I think legislation that add noise to electric cars for safety is misguided. Compare a 2018 BMW, Lexus, Acura, and MB vs a Tesla. Any of them could easily hit you before you easily hear them.
