1. It’s very strange for someone to both claim that they never use Twitter and also claim “abuse” is an overblown excuse. Twitter is currently the model platform for large scale mob justice and harassment.
2. The “real name” policy is effective on Facebook for the type of abuse Twitter is trying to curtail. It would help if you explain why you feel the real name policy is ineffective. In any case, only Facebook (the product) actively enforces a real name policy.
There is proof of stake. You stake some moderate amount ($25), refundable at any time but forfeit if you spam. For a non-spammer it effectively costs nothing but the spammer loses their stake for every spam someone reports, and every spam posted against the same stake can be disabled at once.

The requirement obviously being the ability to make small anonymous payments.
I can’t hear No Man’s Sky without remembering this wonderful parody of their launch quality.

No, that algorithm is O(1).

50 is a constant. As n -> infinity, the algorithm runs in constant time.

Specifically, I can pick some number C such that C * f(n) > the number of operations, then the algorithm is O(f(n)).

So I choose f(n) == 1, and C == 100.

Then the runtime of the algorithm is 1,1,1,1,1...., 50,1,1,1,1,.... For all values of n, this is less than C * f(n) == 100, a constant, so it is O(f(n)). f(n) is 1, so it is O(1).
Ok it’s not just me. Twitter works fine on my desktop, but whenever I seem to use it on mobile I get the rate limited error. I swear it’s 70% of the time. Usually if I go back and try again or refresh it works the second time.

Always regular mobile Safari.
Oh man, I know exactly what you are going through. I had the "3am chest squeezes" for a long time, I'd wake up thinking I should be working harding doing SOMETHING to make SOMETHING happen. And realizing that even if I worked 80 hours a week there were somethings I could not budge. It's like with coding if you put in a lot of effort you can fix things, but with management there is no feedback loop like that. It took me a long time to get used to.

Delegation is necessary but it hard the first few times. It takes a lot of getting used to because very few people are going to do things up to your standards (some will do >= you which is awesome). Note that eventually these feelings went away...until I got promoted and then they came back again: 3am chest squeezes and a sense of "I don't know what the fuck I'm doing again and no matter how hard I work the needle doesn't move."

Over the years I realized this is just a side effect of new challenges with increased responsibility. You (YOU) are a natural problem solver and it takes MONTHS to come up to speed so don't beat yourself up. You will solve the problems and invent your own systems.

Finding mentors is hard, but I found some through Meetup.com of all places (bay area, austin, and portland are my haunts). Note: they're not all older than me, but they have had similar experiences. Mentors can be younger than you. And mostly they don't have specific help because at this level techniques aren't really transferrable from person to person... my startup founder friends just remind me I'm not a phony fuckup. And that matters.

Welcome to being a grown up!!! It'll never be quite as fun as being a 20-something hacking code 80 hours a week for years on end, but there are new things to enjoy with age!!! (Confession: I still write shell scripts to procrastinate because it makes me feel like I've accomplished something.)

Good luck! This sounds cliche, but remember YOU REALLY CAN DO IT, don't set the bar impossibly high. You've got the right attitude with your realization in the sentence to last. Just trust that your knack for problem solving as a coder will cause your brain to inevitably figure out creative solutions to your current problems.
I just became a manager of my team and was introduced to the https://www.manager-tools.com/podcasts

(I just realised that my previous comment may have come out as rude, I'm sorry for that. I was typing in a hurry and it came out a bit dry).

Yes I agree with your points, what I was trying to convey in my comment is that, since Spark is not a programming language, I think that comparing it to Python or R is a bit of an apples to oranges comparison. The other point that I was trying to make is that both of those languages could be described as first-class citizens within the Spark ecosystem.
25i-nbome is a popular ligand for 5-ht2a activation due to its high potency (low amount required for action), stability, and iodine content (can be made radioactive without altering the structure). Someone probably had a thought about 5-ht2a stimulation leading to neurogenesis and tested it in mice using 25i because it's a good compound for that. Thus the headline "25i-nbome causes brain cell growth". (The psychedelic action of 5-ht2a ligands may have been a clue that they cause neurogenesis. Until tested it's only a guess.)
There may be negatives to this, but if you listen to any recent talks with Jack Dorsey, he is genuinely concerned about combating the amount of fake accounts on Twitter. Of course, it's both a moral issue and a business issue but that's beyond the point. If giving my phone number to Twitter means it can have an ever so slight positive impact on the amount of trolls and fake accounts on Twitter, then it's a good thing to me...

However, we have seen with Facebook that giving your phone number doesn't necessarily work in combating trolls, so I'd be interested in how exactly they will use it.

Common Ways to Create a Website
Fair enough, when looking at the academic origin and defintions; but googling a bit and looking at articles like https://medium.com/@.RT/total-n00bs-guide-to-big-o-big-%CF%8... (under 'The Big Caveat', third paragraph), I feel validated in my assertion that your 'Big theta' is what is in practice and colloquially is known as 'Big O', and is also what this article is talking about.

(But I'll admit that I had mostly forgotten about this distinction, and certainly couldn't tell which one is which without looking it up)

Now I've spent some time with harmopark, let me share some thoughts.

Experience is somewhat clumsy on laptops without mouse. Maybe in 'select mode' the left click could also toggle selected nodes. On tablet the interface makes more sense.

I like how easy it is to enter a progression and generate a musical loop. Harmonic table is great choice for working with chords.

Arpeggios sound great. With a bit of reverb and delay there are some nifty soundscapes in there. The synths themselves could use some improvement.

Sound settings could perhaps be pulled out of modal into main page? I had fun fiddling with settings, I'd like them to be more accessible & exposed.

It would be nifty if 'explore harmony' chords could be dragged onto progression track. Maybe clicking a chord in that modal could make it a active selection and than it could be dragged from selection info.

Thanks for sharing this with us. It looks great already and I'll drop in occasionally to check for updates.

My youngest is 14yo now, so not a new parent but two things I really liked as reassurance measures personally.

I put a night vision web camera in the babies room and a sleep pad which detected breathing or the lack of breathing as a tool to help prevent SIDS. I've never believed in kids sleeping with the parents or sleeping in the same room beyond the first month or so (but to each their own). I also had other little things like the baby monitor etc, but the two I did that were tech focused were the sleep pad and the web camera (which today would be 1000x better than what I did before).

There are many new designs around the SIDS detectors to fill the need of like the sleep pad I used so you can check those out if you are interested in that at all. Amazon sells a bunch of different ones. One newer option is check out https://owletcare.com/ . I am not affiliated in anyway or have any experience but might be worth checking out.

Outside of tech. Get a good book on sleep training, you will be much happier people understanding how babies work and how sleep changes from infant to toddler and toddler to adolescent and then to teenager. It will save you lots of grief if you understand it and work with it instead of fighting it.

It is awesome to be a parent, good luck you will enjoy it!
Money as a Service?
Yes, but my point is that, as written, there is no dependency on N. Thus, O(1).
I do since last year's update.
I'm seeing a lot of people in this thread balking at the $2B in losses. The thing is that aggregate profit is a terrible metric for measuring companies that have a recurring revenue model with high upfront costs (as WeWork, Uber, and many other tech startups do).

The reason for this is profit doesn't factor in investments. Let's say I invest $1200 to acquire one customer who pays me $100/month. If you look at month 0, I have -$1200 in profit. At first glance, this looks really bad. Alternatively, you can see it as I am now making $100/month. Because of the $100/month, after one year I'll have made my original investment back and still be making $100/month. After two years, I'll have made a profit of $1200.

This is probably exactly what's happening here with WeWork. If you look at things in aggregate, WeWork is spending a ton of money investing in opening new offices while they make a much smaller amount of money from their old offices. This makes them look like they are lighting money on fire. In reality they are investing their money in new offices and expect each office to make a return on investment over a few years. As long as they are spending more money investing in new offices than they are making from the old ones, they will appear unprofitable.

For a typical software business, a pair of metrics that are much better than profit are CAC (cost of acquiring a customer) and LTV (the life time value of a customer). As long as a product's LTV is sufficiently greater than CAC (a successful SaaS company typically has LTV > 3 * CAC), it makes sense to invest more money into the business.

This For Entrepreneurs post goes in great depth about good ways to measure a SaaS business and gives you a few models you can play with: https://www.forentrepreneurs.com/saas-metrics-2-definitions-...

Now all of this doesn't mean that WeWork is a healthy business. All it means is that we can't tell based on how much money they are losing alone.

Yeah, you really could have. It also grinds me when people will say "it's O(n), not O(n^(3/2))", because the former is a subset of later, not to mention talking about worst case/average case/best case. Big O notation has nothing to do with probabilities, literally nothing.
The problem isn't they forget, it's more along the lines of their culture. In China, they do the {thing} first then apologise.

On a related note, TikTok is just a rebranded version of DouYin [0] which was originally built by a small group of young programmers called Beijing Shaking Youth [1]. It wasn't until their recent funding [2] they sent up an office in the USA by which time the damage had already been done. Not only do they violate laws their app is riddled with dark patterns by US standards (all of which btw is normal in China).

If you go on LinkedIn and look up Jobs in Los Angeles you'll notice TikTok has 1200+ open positions. You'll also notice they're hiring people specifically to develop policies for each region.

They bought meetup.com which charges a yearly fee for running clubs. Its is actually a decent platform for a lot of things, and charging helped reduce the spam you got by having an account. But its hard to compete with free sometimes.

That already presumes a world view in which there is an external world or environment in which we're in, that we have senses through which we get input from that world.

But since all of that is outside our experience (since the model you're arguing for is that we don't have direct access to the external world), the question of how you arrived at that world view remains.

The lack of direct access to the external world (if there is one), seems to me to be a hard barrier through which I see no way of breaking, as no matter what you sense, intuit, or think, they are all compatible with any number of ways the external world could be -- such as you're insane, hallucinating, deceived, brain injured, mind controlled, etc, and there's no way to get outside your experience and compare whatver you've concluded, sensed, or believe with what actually is the case.

No amount of collaboration or cooperation with others can get you to get at the external world (again, assuming it exists) either, since whatever interactions you have with others is through your own experience, and the same objections regarding their presumed input applies.
I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are getting at. With the internet in it's current state, notes from college years 1&2 are useless... I could go on Wikipedia and YouTube and get the same, if not higher quality, information about those subjects. FWIW, I still have all of those notes. The understanding and intuitive development is what suffers, not having the information available.
The number one thing I do as a manager that actually got to me enjoy the job was being responsible for setting expectations. In particular, getting a big say in contract writing. I negotiate the scope and staffing plan. I set the SLAs. I tell stakeholders what iterative delivery looks like, what we need from them to have a successful delivery and what my team can do for them.

The first project I scoped delivered almost to the day on schedule and on budget without burning the team. My next project we had a locked scope where I took one look and predicted disaster and it happened. Now I have enough credibility to make these decisions and set a team up for success.

C# Hello World Running Without OS or Runtime by Michal Strehovský
If you'd like to see the FFT Multiplication in real-life, practical code implemented / optimized to the hilt, look no further than the GMP library (both source and pre-built binary libs are available).

About the arbitrary precision multiply algorithm:

https://gmplib.org/manual/FFT-Multiplication.html

At large to very large sizes a Fermat style FFT multiplication is used, following Schönhage and Strassen (see References).

Quoted from the GMP web site: https://gmplib.org/

What is GMP?

GMP is a free library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating on signed integers, rational numbers, and floating-point numbers. There is no practical limit to the precision except the ones implied by the available memory in the machine GMP runs on. GMP has a rich set of functions, and the functions have a regular interface.

The main target applications for GMP are cryptography applications and research, Internet security applications, algebra systems, computational algebra research, etc.

GMP is carefully designed to be as fast as possible, both for small operands and for huge operands. The speed is achieved by using fullwords as the basic arithmetic type, by using fast algorithms, with highly optimised assembly code for the most common inner loops for a lot of CPUs, and by a general emphasis on speed.

The first GMP release was made in 1991. It is continually developed and maintained, with a new release about once a year.

Since version 6, GMP is distributed under the dual licenses, GNU LGPL v3 and GNU GPL v2. These licenses make the library free to use, share, and improve, and allow you to pass on the result. The GNU licenses give freedoms, but also set firm restrictions on the use with non-free programs.

GMP is part of the GNU project. For more information about the GNU project, please see the official GNU web site.

GMP's main target platforms are Unix-type systems, such as GNU/Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, Mac OS X/Darwin, BSD, AIX, etc. It also is known to work on Windows in both 32-bit and 64-bit mode.

GMP is brought to you by a team listed in the manual.

GMP is carefully developed and maintained, both technically and legally. We of course inspect and test contributed code carefully, but equally importantly we make sure we have the legal right to distribute the contributions, meaning users can safely use GMP. To achieve this, we will ask contributors to sign paperwork where they allow us to distribute their work.
Actually, you've got that history a little backward. The original iPhone had no App Store and had only web apps; that was the promoted way to develop for the platform. It was only after the phone's release and the mad clamor from developers to be allowed to develop native applications that an SDK was released and the App Store created.
This seems like a good time to bring up one of my pet peeves about big O notation.

Every theoretical model I've ever seen says that indexing into n bits of memory takes O(1) time. That's obviously impossible:

- The pointer you need to read is log(n) bits.

- The physical memory is at best O(n^(1/3)) distance away from the CPU, and thus takes that much time to get back to you. In reality it's probably O(n^(1/2)) because we build on flat planes (once you start talking about petabytes of data anyways).

Maybe this doesn't matter in practice, because the constants associated with these are small enough (but are they, how many memory/disk bound applications are there? How much extra performance could we squeeze out by using 16/32 bit pointers for small arrays?). It certainly doesn't matter in theory where things work like we say they do regardless of the physical reality. But it annoys me that it's so obviously wrong.

How does it factor in that they are leasing their buildings? Won't their rents eventually go up, and won't they have to remodel all the time to keep up their hip/modern work spaces? It seems like funky math that I'm not understanding.

Also, when a recession hits, it seems like the first offices a company closes has are the ones on a short-term lease at a co-working space....

[Edit] My second comment is because I work for a large company who opened an office in a WeWork space to be more hip and relevant....and I see a lot of other "big" companies with offices in the building.

Agreed. However, many NDs are not exactly "naturopathic", but more like alternative doctors that can fill in the gaps if your conventional MD is not very helpful.
Yes, but exactly: it's on some user agreement policy along with all the other rules nobody ever reads.

I bet TikTok had the same thing. But look at TikTok's attempt at complying in TFA: they didn't just make a /policy edit. They started asking birthdate upon register/login but managed to botch that, so they started asking users for scans of their government-issued ID.

If these are the sorts of measures that the FTC needs to see, then who actually is compliant under scrutiny?

You can upload selfie image/videos directly to Reddit. Wouldn't Reddit be just as incapable of deleting all content from users that were <13yo at time of upload like TikTok was ordered to do?

Don't get me wrong, I think "Are you over 13?" is about as useful as "Are you over 18?" and "Do you agree with our cookie policy?"
> You don't care that Rust is much more safe than C due to all the features it has that are unlike C. But the safety aspect is Rust's main raison d'être.

Rust is still young. I think it's a bit naive to proclaim the language of the future is here. Why?

That was also the point of Ada until people realized that unhandled Constraint Errors could still crash missiles.

That was the point of Java until people realized that JRE's were full of security holes.

So, what's the point of Rust again? To protect us from all these security holes? Wasn't that also the goal of other languages?

> I wonder who this "we" is?

TIOBE says C is second most popular language after Java even with all the security holes. So there's a lot of "we" (though I don't code in C).

> App stores are monopolies

That is a huge claim, thrown around by you with no backing. You could get a few economists to discuss that for ages without reaching a conclusion.

Unless you're talking about the layman's definition of monopoly, which means "whatever I want it to mean".

This is particularly relevant when there's the Amazon app store, and app preloads, and the Korean app store, and Fortnite isn't available on the Play store.

And that's before we get into the fact that iOS competes with Android, and that includes the app stores. This would be like complaining that to get a product to be sold by Walmart, you need to get Walmart to sell it.

No matter how you look at it, consumers never had so many choices, prices have never been this low, and app distribution has never been so easy.

You're thinking too big. Think smaller and more common.

Guess what, he's the sheriff now, and has money in the budget to buy social media data on his enemies, or the freedom to tap into any shared federal database he likes. Next thing you know, there's a speed trap at the end of your block and each member of your family gets pulled over each day for a vehicle inspection.

These sorts of things weren't unheard of before the internet. The abuse of big data just makes it easier now.
Dude. That’s more than just “slightly” hacky. Points for the idea though.
