Does it matter what side the phone is on?

I keep my phone in my right pocket, but my bluetooth headphones have the transmitter on the left side. Even in my suburban backyard (mowing the lawn), they'll occasionally cut out when my body interferes too much. Every now and then, it'll get bad enough that I'll move my phone to my other pocket.
> In other words, for common searches (which are short strings), it is much better to spend more time in a vectorized routine than to try to skip bytes.

Complexity analysis of substring search focuses on the number of comparisons – at least those I saw –, much like sorting, and of course that's not an accurate model at all.

> easy way to fool yourself when you are measuring performance

In this case isn't the "already in RAM" test a more accurate reflection of performance anyway, as we are talking about the performance of grep and not the IO subsystem?

There are many cases where grep's performance won't be bottlenecked by IO, or at least not impacted directly by a bottleneck there. Anywhere when the input is coming from another program, essentially, and even if that task is IO bound it might be sending output to grep much faster than it is consuming input (perhaps gunzip <file | grep searchtext).

And in the case of searching a log file interactively, it is common that you won't just run grep of the file just once in a short space of time, instead doing it a couple of times as you refine your search, so for most of the runs it will be in cache (assuming the file is not to large).

> it AVOIDS LOOKING AT EVERY INPUT BYTE

This would not help, since the backing storage doesn't provide support for this kind of resolution. It would end up reading in the entire file anyways, unless your input string is on the order of an actual block.

Something that you should know is that simple and complex partial seizures (also sometimes called focal seizures, or less formally "auras") like this can and do generalize into tonic-clonic (formerly: grand mal) seizures. You should definitely see a neurologist about this, ESPECIALLY if it's new and the frequency is increasing.

My wife started getting partial seizures much like during her second pregnancy and they culminated in a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Her OB mis-diagnosed them as vasovagal syncopy, which is a very common phenomenon during pregnancy.

Based on getting a diagnosis it sounds like you've seen someone about this. Please, anyone out there who has similar symptoms, get it checked by a neurologist!

> "Materials are manually and mechanically disassembled and shredded into commodity-sized fractions of metals, plastics, and glass," John Yeider, Apple's recycling program manager, wrote under a heading called "Takeback Program Report" in a 2013 report to Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. "All hard drives are shredded in confetti-sized pieces. The pieces are then sorted into commodities grade materials. After sorting, the materials are sold and used for production stock in new products. No reuse. No parts harvesting. No resale."

As the article points out recycling should be a last resort (after reuse). Apple is deliberately obstructive of that.

I'm on hormone therapy and my sense of smell drastically improved. That means that a lot of things are new to me and immediately pop into my conscious mind instead of getting filed up in the back of my mind.

Probably look like your dogs at times. Often I would go sniffing around the home or the office and find things such as forgotten food scraps, electronics heating up, etc. The most useful so far has been pinpointing mold issues.

I've noticed how some people smell drastically different and often wonder about their health and diet.

Notes about the IPO I've been collecting....

- Opens at $87.24, IPO at $72.00

- raised about $2.34 Billion in cash

- unlike hte SNAP IPO, this one has some buy ratings

- lock up date of Sept 2nd

- company valued at $25Billion, though note the financial engineering of a relatively small float that helps push up the stock price.

- upsized offer from 30.8M shares to 32.5M( around 11% of float, this is a relatively small float)

Groupon tried this kind of financial engineering to prop up a bad business, it didn't go well then

- valued at 10x 2018 revenue, wow, given the losses, wow.

- CEO won't talk about how they'll become profitable, now that they are out of the IPO window that's a bit of a worrying trend, though clearly Wall St doesn't seem to currently care

- no international expansion plans outside of Canada
> "We may choose to do that some day but we don't have current plans."

-now trading below its opening trade, not to be confused with its opening price.

Uber had better IPO this year.

By Year end Lyft will have reported 3 times so investors will start to look for losses to shrink and see a path to profitability. Lyft Share lock ups will also be off so Lyft will get some selling pressure.

If Lyft can't support the high valuation it currently has 9-12 months out then Uber had better have a better story than "we're Lyft but bigger".

I'd expect to see an S-1 from uber in April and an IPO by the end of the summer to avoid this scenario.
Temporarily, yes. It doesn't have to be the same government agency, and the aim would be to divest as fast as possible, so hopefully less short-sighted and more responsible shareholders would control it in the end.
Hm isn't it the listing firm who pays the underwriters?

Why would they want to "engineer" a pop? The bigger the pop between the listing price and what the price settles at, the less cash the listing firm raised relative to what they could have raised.

Even existing shareholders don't really benefit from a pop because they would be able to sell at the "true" market price that the listing firm _should have raised_ at, as well as the true marketing price that the price eventually reaches. The only people who benefit are those who got in between the listing price and the closing pop price - at the expense of the listing firm.

It used to be (circa late 1800s) that the word 'typewriter' referred to three things: 1) the machine itself 2) the operator of such a machine could be referred to as 'a typewriter' 3) the combination of the two, that is, the machine and the person driving the machine are a singular unit (which is also speculated to be one of the reasons for a major upsurge is 'ghost-possessed typewriter fiction' at the same time [the girl operating the machine might become more than mere instrumentation]. What this is getting at is (in contemporary america) I'll argue that it is the combination of the homosapien + an automobile that is defined as human. (Just look at how we derogatorily consider those who have to take mass transit because they do not possess [or are possessed by] an automobile, therefore cannot fully actualize themselves as human beings.)

thanks, this was a very helpful comment.

As an engineer-founder trying to build a first prototype app, i've been conscious about not diving into building too fast, trying to get some of the design right upfront. This has meant doing user-interviews to understand people's problems in the area i'm working on, and doing some paper prototypes.

I was debating what is the best form to get the next round of feedback: wireframe the whole flow in balsamiq, or a bare-bones working prototype with ReactNative. For the former, i'd have to learn the tool. The latter i somewhat know.

I misunderstood the poster I was replying to. To me it sounded like he wanted a singular call to be able to iterate over all the files in the directory.

I then assumed you proposed something similar with your FindFile call, and I didn't and still don't see how to do that in a clean way, hence asking how you would imagine it working.

In a reply the OP clarified that it was the fact that FindFirstFile does two things (initializing the handle, and getting the first result if any), rather than cleanly separating the handle initialization from getting the results. This is different, and a point I can agree with.

I see some interesting thoughts here. I agree that pretending to have magic powers is not a good way to perform. That being said, I think the concept of doing tricks so powerful that audience has no explanation other than believing in magic is completely orthogonal to an idea that you are supposed to brag about having paranormal abilities.

I think the art of magic is ought to be performed live. There some guys who got it right on the TV, for instance Copperfield. The problem with YouTube on the other hand, is that you can replay the video anytime, so this kills misdirection entirely.

The way I get around this issue in my promotional materials is that I basically only show people’s reactions to my effects, so that people see what they buy. Entertainment, not tricks to figure out.

On a side note, I love how Derren Brown performs. He says up front, he has no psychic powers but provides some basic pseudoscience explanation to his audience which is a trick on its own!

It's an interesting question.

> but there aren't many good investments around. etc.

Like, can we talk about this just a sec? I feel this too, that there just isn't a lot of room left in the economy. But, it just feels like that is crazy, right?

There is all this money, more than ever before. There is all this technology, and it's the best that has ever been out there. There is all this education and learning, we're better at teaching people than we've ever been. And there are all these people, nearly eight billion of us. Things, objectively, have never been better!

So, how can we be running out of good investments? It just feels like I'm nutz here. One one hand, we have all this potential energy, but on the other, there is just no where for the kinetic energy to go. Humans aren't just boulders on hill sides, we don't tend to sit still, we get moving on our own.

I would like to start by saying I’m not against bicycles sharing the roads in anyway; I’m just attempting to explain the rationale for this kind of thinking in many people I know personally (in South Florida this is a hot button issue).

Most roads are built primarily for motor vehicles, so when you are driving a car, you are driving on a road that you paid for specifically to drive your car on, and somebody else is leisurely (except for in certain big cities, most bicycling miles are done for leisure or sport) enjoying the same road for free, on a bicycle, putting themselves at risk and putting some of the burden of their risk on you (if they veer into your lane and you hit them, good luck trying to get out of that).

A grossly exaggerated analogy would be seeing people come to your apartment complex and using the garbage chute as a slide for their kids to play on. If the kids are playing in the chute and you put garbage down it and injure one of them, you’re on the hook. Imagine how this would make you feel, every time you see parents bringing their kids to play in the chute.
