Interesting seeing this defined from a functional programming/category theory perspective. Personally I like examples for my algebraic structures along with some simple proofs why they're that structure. What was extremely useful for my Algebra class was a Wikipedia note detailing the hierarchy of rings via set inclusion:

commutative rings ⊃ integral domains ⊃ integrally closed domains ⊃ GCD domains ⊃ unique factorization domains ⊃ principal ideal domains ⊃ Euclidean domains ⊃ fields ⊃ finite fields

I've lived in a couple of cities with all of these (bus, tram, train plus metro). I'd never take a bus if I can avoid it. They are the lowest form of public transportation that is only meant as a cheap fix when rails aren't practical/affordable.
Makes sense. Is there a measure against spamming the network with 1 billion files of 1 Byte each? (besides PoW)
Every time I used those I get paper cuts. Good on them for moving to them; I'm sure they'll improve the tech rapidly.
They were certainly an extremely important platform in WWII. But since then, there have been enormous developments in rocketry which make aircraft carriers highly vulnerable. I've seen the arguments that anti-missile defenses will protect them, but I just don't buy it. This is today's version of "The bomber will always get through."
It is a matter of tooling.

Using something like C++ Builder with its Internet VCL component libraries it is hardly any different from using Java or .NET stacks for Web development.

What does this mean?
Are there even good examples of "intended to work within their own ecosystem only"? I'm constantly surprised to the extent Apple embraces openness and interoperability (compared to my personal expectation of what they would do). It seems to me that they just totally ignore it in favor of building a "perfect" (by their own definition) product.

If anything, I would describe that behavior as "extreme NIH syndrome".
Handles are not kernel addresses in NT and windows will not intentionally leak those to user space. Handle accesses are always through a layer of indirection in the object manager.

You will find that windows never makes guarantees of what handles actually are - in case it wants to change them.

In windows NT most GDI handles are user mode and not kernel objects. Other objects may or may not be kernel based depending on the version and whims of the implementor.
would love to see that also.

> If it's easier for you to write better algorithms in Python than in C++, than your code will probably be faster while written in Python. Because better algorithms will easily get you further than 10x in terms of performance.

In practice I have not often seen this pan out - if you've got the most common case of a GUI app with tons of callbacks which update your UI in real-time, there isn't one algorithm to optimize anywhere, but instead you die a death of a thousand cuts because each callback will be marginally slower than what it would have been in C++.

Also, it's much easier to control allocations & system calls in C++ (or other native languages for what it's worth) than in Python - and in my experience preventing those is an even better pathway to getting frames rendered in less than 5 milliseconds (which is what you want to do if you have any respect for your 144hz-screen users)
Credit checks are often required in job applications and almost always when renting a home; it’s not like you can opt out of those.
Japan is egregiously bad at this e.g. you buy a box of sweets / tea cakes / whatever, the box is shrink-wrapped, then the box contents is shrink wrapped (within the box), then the pieces are individually wrapped.

There's a bit of a cultural logic (if you're sharing cakes you may want to know your colleagues / friends didn't put their paws on your piece) but it's maddening: https://madaboutmacarons.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Dori....

They'll even individually shrink-wrap containers (bottom right of picture, they're shakers of gold leaf) (https://madaboutmacarons.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/fuku...)
I guess this is very important and also often overlooked whenever public policy makers talk about Plastic Ban.

The settlement form was deceptive too. They said if you already have credit monitoring, you can take the $125. I interpreted that to mean that you can't get the $125 unless you already have credit monitoring, so I picked credit monitoring. I would totally have taken the $125.
Well I would not want to drive in TJ because the signs are in a different language, people drive differently, giant potholes, other issues.
Of course, the explanation is BS, everybody sees that.

But I want to comment that as a young mainframer (I started 14 years ago at the age of 26, with a big IBM competitor), I really enjoyed working with older people.

They work quite hard (they have survived lots of changes in the organization, and that - in majority of cases - means that their contribution was appreciated somewhere), often are less crazy (they are set in life, don't have to "compete" anymore), don't panic or get overexcited too much (they have seen lot of stuff and that moderates their emotions), have good stories from life (they lived through one already), and you can learn from them a lot (they often have weird experience in areas that you would never expect).

And a youngster can complement them nicely - trying out new things, implementing new technology, experiment, bring new viewpoints; often they will appreciate your energy to do that.
Yeah, this is a good analysis, there are a handful of companies where performance savings in critical services will cross those thresholds, but for everyone else it's simply theoretical.

Unfortunately there are a lot of those "everyone else" services out there so it becomes a death through a thousand cuts concern.

Obviously from an environmental perspective (if that is the ethical concern in question) there are probably higher priorities
Stochastic Kronecker Natural Graphs (2013)
I actually used to reuse single use bags to line all of the trash cans in my house. Now that my town banned free ones, my family has been trained to reuse. Only now I'm buying disposable trash bags and only using them once.

Fairly sure the overall impact here is worse. Especially since the heavy trash bags you buy consume much, much more plastic compared to the thin film freebies I was using before.

I do hate to see trash bags blowing in the road and know they end up in the rivers and oceans. I guess overall this is still a win, just not for my household.
LDPE (thicker, 'bag for life' etc) is about 4 times as bad, paper bags 3 times, vs HDPE (thin) bags assuming no reuse. The below UK gov study investigates impact of each (and other alternatives like cloth bags) and also considers reuse as bin liners, which significantly changes the numbers.

You're right. Although someone like Terrence McKennna would categorize cannabis as psychoactive. Very heavy doses have that almost borderline trippy visuals effect once in a while, in my personal experience.
When I went to the multi-day IBM recruiting event for new grads about 2 years ago, there were red flags ALL OVER the place. It was frankly ridiculous. Talking with some employees they were basically saying "don't work here" as plainly as they could while being watched over by IBM recruiters.

You just knew you were walking into a failing company defined solely by bureaucracy and politics with employees that don't really want to be there.

On top of this the total compensation was downright insulting even at the upper end of the range.

Nope'd out of there pretty quickly, even though I was rather desperate for a position at the time.

Edit: Did I mention how horrible the interview process was? You needed to install software with admin permissions on your computer alongside having your webcam active the whole time. Throughout the interview you needed to record 2-minute skits with random prompts given to you. Have you ever tried talking into a webcam with no one on the other end, unprepared? What nonsense. Not sure what anyone at IBM was thinking with this.

7pay relates to 7-11 (Japan), which owns the US brand thru its holding company.

> Also interesting my iPhone cable was fraying after slightly over 2 years, so bought a new cable while one of my family members were filling a prescription. I find it so interesting that a drug store seems to sell better cables than Apple. This one is what I believe braided, so far it seems more tougher and stronger.

Apple seem to be allergic to strain relief and thicker cables, I too have a 7-11 cable that has lasted since the original iPhone 5.

> I wonder with Apple offering their own credit card that gives higher cashback if that might make people want to shop at more merchants that accept it. I think it's kinda cool to pay for stuff using your watch, but maybe I'm a show off being in a small town. The first time using it in real life and the cashier mentioned how she doesn't trust it, which I'm a tech nerd so I understand tech more but I can see how people are afraid. Wouldn't surprise me if it was her first time someone ever used Apple Pay either. I have a relative who said he'd never do online banking because he doesn't want his information on the internet, yet his banking information is accessed by the computers in the branch in their database already. Wouldn't surprise me if the only difference is some fields in the database account table or a separate table for online enabled accounts. OnlineBankingEnabled, username, email, password (hopefully hashed!)

Japan is a pretty conservative place too, I don't mind things changing slowly personally.
ESP32 uses less power. When you use deep-sleep, you can draw as low as 40microAmps, a sensor I've build on a ESP32 has been running for 3 months on the same battery and I expect one more out of it. The battery is a 2200mA LiPo 18650, so nothing that extraordinary either.

The Pi0W probably won't run a day on the same battery.
As far as I remember Cloths actually use way more CO2 in production than plastic.

The article seems to put the burden of performance on the developers... but I've been in situations where no matter what I did in favor of performance, the efforts were always negated by the installation of third party marketing tools.

Well, they degrade in sea water better than plastic so they're better for sea life. So the null hypothesis that plastic bags and paper bags are the same for sea life is easy to reject because the evidence is easy to collect.

For them to then be not any better in overall impact, it must mean you have some evidence that rejects the null hypothesis that plastic bags and paper bags are at least identical for all other purposes. So let's see it.
Every source I've found just says "it's sacred in the Hawaiian religion" or "it's a sacred place" but always a vague answer. If you wanted to build on the site of the Wailing Wall or the Kaaba, the opposition would have a very specific list of ways those sites are sacred, with names and events. Additionally, less than 0.5% of Hawaiians practice the Hawaiian religion in question.

Frankly I think this is a bunch of contrarians opposing the construction just to have something to feel self-righteous about.
> s/Millennials/Generation Z/ at this point.

I don't think that works either, Gen Z are either really early in their career and only making up a tiny fraction of the industry or not in any career at all yet, it's hardly the demographic IBM needs to appeal to.

As an older millennial my hair is starting to take on a grayish tinge and ageism in the industry is becoming a direct concern, so this can only lower my opinion of IBM.
Same here, Notepad++ as well.
Strictly anecdotal obviously, but having spent a majority of my 20s in and about the Ayahuasca "peace and love let's dance with flowers in our hair" crowd, I can tell you that a lot of the empathy and mental growth is very superficial. At least seemed that way to me.

Niven/Pournelle had a cool idea in The Mote in God's Eye of charging your craft when traversing a magnetic field to change direction (not specific to sails, but another passive technique).
Prohibition is at least part of the problem. Since LSD isn't something anyone with a prescription can wander down to CVS/Walgreens and pick up a known quantity, how much LSD is in a given dose is a mystery until after empirical testing. Imagine if a can of alcohol had an unknown effect until an hour or two after drinking it, with effects ranging from a mild buzz, to being black-out drunk, to alcohol poisoning resulting in hospitalization or death. Every regulatory body would be similarly hesitant to allow it as the situation mentioned here.
I know it's comparing Apples and Oranges, but:

Buy Wow Classic Gold with Secure Trade Way for Wow Classic Rogue Upgrade Guide
As a Rogue, with a good weapon, it can add a lot of efficiency during the upgrade process. After some data collection and sorting, wowclassicgp lists some upgrade guides and easy-to-access weapons for your reference.The best weapons of level 1-20 should be Cruel Barb and Thief's Blade. If you can get cheap wow classic gold these two weapons at around level 20, there will be no enemies and monsters blocking you if the levels are not much different. You will be very successful on the road to upgrade. Since The Deadmines is located in the Westfall of Alliance, it may be a lot of trouble for Horde players to come to this Dungeons.

At 25-30, you can team up to Blackfathom Deeps to complete the Water Element mission and get a powerful weapon - Outlaw Sabre. If you don't want to enter Dungeons, buy a 26-level blue weapon - The Butcher via AH, or wait until level 29 to purchase the Zealot Blade.

At around level 30, killing the undead in Duskwood's cellar is a very good choice, refreshing fast, not running away, without any skill. You can go up to level 32 here and go somewhere else.

Regarding the upgraded map, Stranglethorn Vale is not the best choice. There are too many battles in the camp. It will not only affect your upgrade efficiency, but also affect your emotions. Please escape from this chaotic place. This is a very pertinent suggestion

The simple fact, that IBM stuff is never used by big sites (fb, spotify, google, etc..) despite their solutions being available for ages should lead anyone to the conclusion that they are salesware.

QRadar is a glorified syslog server with a query interface (bought by IBM in 2011, formerly developed by Q1 Labs, est 2001), and ... again the fact that Splunk is available (started 2 years after Q1 Labs), that the ELK stack is even mentioned in SIEM circles, that OSSIM an open source alternative is seen as more usable all just point to the conclusion that QRadar too is just salesware :/

Correct. Typical knee-jerk reaction of our zeitgeist.

Sad, downvoted? Ok - what a way to inspire conversation. Thanks HN. Stay bright.
Only if you're sure that the particular algorithm you're working on is the bottleneck.

One particularly common performance pessimization is replacing an algorithm with one that has better big-O performance but a worse constant factor, and doing so where the particular O is much smaller than the number of times the function is called. People learn that hashmaps are O(1) while red-black trees are O(log N) and linear search is O(N), so they'll default to using a hashmap for a lookup table, even if the lookup table has 10 items but the keys are ~500 byte strings. (I'm guilty of this one myself, but at least I measured and fixed it.)
Then they'll call this lookup in a loop 5000 times.

Using Python or another rapid-prototyping language can be a good idea here if you take the time to profile and identify the bottlenecks, but very frequently you end up shipping it, throwing hardware at it, and then wondering why you're spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on AWS bills. Plus, a really big problem with many common Python architectures is that they use pure Python libraries & frameworks even on the critical path. (Big offenders here include using BeautifulSoup in your 1B-page web analysis or Django on your million-user website.)

All sorts of medical drugs have contraindications- that’s why we have doctors prescribe them in the first place. E.g., you have severe sleep apnea, you shouldn’t use benzodiazepines; if you have bad anxiety you shouldn’t take address; etc etc. LSD will take a bit more diligence (it’s powerful!) but is not qualitatively different in that respect.
I take the train as well, but only because it would take me just as long to drive + parking costs in the city are insane
They did a comparison to cloth bags here. you have to use a colored clothbag about 30.000 times before you break even with a plastic bag. a non colored cloth bag was about 23.000 uses. Plastic bags are super efficient with regards to resource consumption, but you must never leave them in nature. There is also very little to gain from recycling plastic bags, so you would ideally burn them somewhere close to usage, and use the heat for heating.
I wouldn’t group Java and C++ together like that.

Java is faster than JS but let’s not kid ourselves.
Mass - cost-benefit still means ground based telescopes are the best option for most scenarios. The protests may change that equation.

As much as I’m automatically inclined to side with science over mysticism, there are other telescopes being built right now (ELT, GMT) in the same class, both in Chile, where the mountains aren’t sacred, but just mountains.

So - while they’re pushing on for now, it seems there’s as much dogma (we must have this telescope here) amongst scientists as their is amongst the spiritualists - yes, the top of Hawaii is a uniquely good spot for a telescope - within US borders - there are other spots just as good, however, but those would require international negotiation and cooperation rather than just domestic negotiation and cooperation.

It all comes down to cost/benefit, and I think it’s getting marginal for the TMT. They’re going to need round the clock security, as the protests won’t stop once it’s built.

It’s not too late to build it elsewhere - even in space. Launch costs have dropped dramatically since the TMT was conceived, and are continuing to do so. Assembly will then be the tricky part, as with JWST.
I would imagine the hypothetical clinical dose would be lower than the common recreational dose.

Paper bags are incredibly inefficient, and requires large swaths of forest.

The technical difference is that metros have dedicated tracks and sufficiently frequent services that you can just turn up and go. In Melbourne (and Sydney), tracks are shared in complicated ways by many lines and other traffic (regional, long distance, even cargo) so any issue somewhere cascades in complicated ways, and frequencies are metro-like only in the densest corridors.
Paper bags are roughly 250 times worse than a plastic bag. Even worse if you color it.
