Last time I checked it was slower than linked list for an LRU I wrote.
I find the nesting of elements hard to follow and would prefer something like:

-- factorial
(extern "manool.org.18/std/0.2/all") in:
let:
Fact =
proc { N } as:
unless N.IsI48[] & (N >= 1 - 1) signal
(if (~)[N.IsI48[]] then TypeMismatch else InvariantViolation)
else:
var { Res = 1 } in
do Res after
while N <> 0 do Res = N * Res; N = N + ~1
in:
Out.WriteLine[/* Out; */ "Factorial of 10 is "; Fact[10]$]
That’s not on the list of things stolen, so the passwords are safe. The salts were kept elsewhere, as they should be.
A while back I saw an exhibit of Japanese masks from this period. Interestingly, the noses were exaggeratedly large, because the Japanese at the time (perhaps still today) thought Europeans had big noses.
This is a straw man and a half. She literally gives a single example of this and implies it's normative

Do you really think this is normal?
I really don't like that the topic title is a general statement but the article under is talking strictly in python landscape as an example and not discussing the idea itself.

Mocking by itself works fine. It's a good idea that works if used correctly. Misusing it or bad usage leads to issues - duh.

I'm familiar with the narrative that anything that is too hard (to get right at the first try) in our field means that it is bad - but I don't agree with it at all. We are at the point where craftsmanship should be a good metric to distinguish medicore developers from experts..
Entropy. It's easier to just not involve carbon at all via some hydrogen cycle than to burn it and have to capture it, or extract it from the air/water.

As I mention elsewhere in this thread, hydrocarbons will dominate the air travel industry long after most others have converted. The less carbon in flux, the better.
I think the actual number will fall somewhere in the middle. In parallel, we have a shift ongoing to renewable energy sources which deliver their output less steadily than coal/gas/nuclear. So the grid will not only need to adapt for increased car battery charging, it will also need to add grid-level storage to meet demands when wind turbines and solar panels are not supplying enough at the moment. Storing energy in grid-level batteries will incur some additional loss. Most certainly not 50% though.
I’m just gonna pass on the family comment, but I’ll just say if you bill by the hour and don’t bill for time thinking about the (programming) work, then you’re playing yourself
Do you have some insider information, or where are you getting this? If the hackers were able to steal all of the other login information, the salts were almost certainly stolen along with the hashes.
If you find a legal loophole that lets you steal cars and subsequently take advantage of it to steal cars then you are still a car thief, still a bad person, and the theft is still newsworthy. The fact that your were "merely following incentives" does not make it right and does not make it uninteresting. Quite the opposite.

You're even more culpable if it is later discovered that you lobbied for the loophole.

Society's reaction should be to disseminate the surprising story and use it to drum up support to fix the law. At that point, the only reason to not pursue the matter further is to serve the higher principle of avoiding ex post facto legislation. It's an important principle, so we allow the crime to go unpunished, but the morality of the situation is still that the theft was wrong.
Yes, and I've also talked about this on multiple occasions with a lawyer friend who works in privacy law. A typical claim to legitimate interests would be for optimizing the website and ads on the website for example. It's so commonly used exactly because it's a very simple one-size-fits-all approach.

I have not heard statements going against this from any lawyers.
We have the same little bastards in NYC. My yard is quite lush and shady so I believe it gives them shade and cover to breed. I can't enjoy my yard because of them. I thought the natural shade and privacy would be nice but it's not worth it if you get eaten alive. Today I had enough and chopped down some smaller trees that were shading along with pruning back another shade tree. I also removed a large bed of a crawling plant that looked nice in place of grass but was more cover.
You’d be amazed at corporate ability to find excuses for their canaries departure. Sometimes to the degree that you could be forgiven for assuming their goal was downsizing without layoffs.
> No one designed the environment to be destroyed. But tax laws are often designed precisely to incentivize people to behave in a certain way. If we raise taxes on cigarettes, and then people smoke less, and tax revenue goes down, does anyone complain? Of course not; that's why we raised taxes on cigarettes.

Ah yes a terrible example for the argument you're trying to make. In NYC bodega's sell cigarette "illegally" imported from VA. It doesn't and hasn't stopped people from smoking, at all. It's a vanity bill. Also, it helps generate revenue because most people from outside of the city won't have a bodega that will sell them untaxed cigs, which is always the easiest way to pass taxes, have a non-local pay them. Does government run lotto help stop gambling? No, they just want a piece of the pie.

In general, the average income tax law (the basic stuff) isn't poorly designed, its just under enforced and the extra tax law makes the rest very difficult to work with. Right now, what is poorly designed in tax code is the effect of increased globalization, software and international tax treaties/law.

Also, not paying your taxes when you're using government benefits should be criticized, 100%. For example, Walmart formerly not paying a living wage and making the tax payers support some of their employees, while the founders kids are all billionaires, is totally broken.
It is interesting how with the many copyright and data protection acts and rules, that the EU is, in effect creating a whole new type of decentralised firewall for content for want of another way of perceiving it all.

Though this is a firewall for the people against business practice/malpractices. Which is a good thing. I'm sure there will be many cases of this causing issues, but on the whole, it does fall in the favour of the end-user, us the people.

I say firewall, more an IDS that reacts to breaches. But it is good how they are at least not ignoring and overlooking such details and this is a fine example of it being well thought out.
Daily.

Also, I don't use Facebook. Most of the people I know navigate to the news site directly, as social media is just an echo chamber, there are lots of links to obscure news sites publishing fake news, etc.
A bit of elaboration on the risks you could encounter here:

- CGM sensors can be faulty, depending on the rate of change of glucose (they’re actually not measuring blood directly, but interstitial fluids, which are generally lagging by about 15mins and can be inaccurate with large swings)

- battery dying out isn’t so bad, since the pump will just default back to its previous basal delivery settings
- there are safety maximums on insulin delivery, which prevent among other things, your typical overflow/precision errors

- maximums over time though is a more complex issue, something I haven’t yet dug into
It's for the better- even ignoring the risk of physical harm, these motors are loud. Cities would be orders of magnitude more obnoxious if you had the upper class constantly buzzing overhead in vehicles that made a Harley-Davidson sound like a soft purr.
Look up benchmarks for cracking MD5 hashes. You can crack an MD5 hash of an average length password (and StockX only requires an 8 character password), even with a salt, within seconds with a single consumer grade GPU. A hacker group with any serious setup for hash cracking has almost certainly already cracked most, if not all, of these hashes.
Don't make the mistake of equating paying more tax with the betterment of society.

I think it was PJ O'Rourke who said something like giving money and power to politicians is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.

Peer review never seems to catch actual bugs but does give you helpful tips like "we already have a function that does this" or "the language has a feature for this"
That situation pretty much doesn't happen, at least in the UK. Except people over 70, everyone has WhatsApp.
Cache coherency? Proper, proper hard.
I didn't see it that way at all. Also, the article is supposed to be funny.
Couldn't agree more. I've done a few "coding dojo" sessions where my team and I start from scratch and write a new set of mock-based tests for a piece of existing code, and when it starts to get gnarly, it's always been because of an inconsistent interface, or confusing API of the code under test.

Bob Martin talks about this a lot; your UTs should be thought of as first-class clients of your objects' APIs. If something is hard to test, it's probably hard to use, or abstracted at the wrong level.
Do you mean to say that complaining about laws is ridiculous?

That doesn't seem like an argument someone would intentionally make.

It should be obvious to anyone that some laws are unjust, insufficient, or overbearing.

It's up to us to have these conversations, and push our own, or our collective, agendas.
Muphry's Law is a harsh mistress.
What are students actually paying for though? A diploma? Or an actual education. It sounds like you're making the case for the former. In that case, why even have grades or work? Why not just give everyone a diploma after four years no matter if they did the work well or if they got drunk for four years and never stepped foot in the classroom? If the customer is always right, then this is what should happen. I'd argue that the customer is not always right. That in the case of education, they are paying for an education and not a diploma. By definition, they cannot always be right because education implies learning and learning implies failure and being wrong. After all, if you're never wrong, you're not learning. You already knew everything. That is hypothetical of course and not a real situation.

Students are paying for an education and therefore they must be challenged, tested, and worked. And none of those things are guaranteed. They are all difficult. And none of those actions are safe. So the idea that they should be in some sort of safe space is antithetical to learning. If the universities bow down to the students and replace education with safe spaces of non learning, they are just a diploma mill now. The students learn nothing and the diplomas are meaningless. Instead, universities need to stand behind for the product they offer. They should not bow down to the stupid demands of students who are anti learning and want safe spaces and meaningless diplomas without learning. They should continue to educate and kick out such students that have no interest in learning. They should promote education at any cost. Otherwise they become institutions of meaningless association, places where students go to get drunk, party, and hang out. In other words, just like most high schools. This anti intellectual idiocy needs to be resisted and one way to do so is to have reasonable costs, ideally free. That needs to be regulated and subsidized by the government, but in the meantime universities themselves have plenty of options for lowering costs if the will is there. Otherwise, why don't these students just apply for fake diplomas from the internet? The end result is the same.
Toys R Us, Sears, Radio Shack, Montgomery Ward, and dozens others failed because they didn't sufficiently adapt to the business climate and competition.

It's not like "but for Private Equity firms, these would be vibrant, competitive, going concerns". At most, PE was a specific acceleration of their demise, but it seems overwhelmingly likely that the reaper was coming for them anyway...
Because most of the code you write at a previous job is not going to publicly available. So I have no other reference point as to your current skills.

Apart from just the code itself, having side projects is a good sign of valuable, non-technical skills. Such as intellectual curiosity, ability to start/finish things, and if it's a collaborative open source project, can play well / collaborate with others.
To my knowledge it includes all public available H2 stations, for example the test station by Fraunhofer.

After the explosion in Oslo some of them are shut down until further notice due to rework.
What title would you prefer? "Your Python mock might not work, but it could still be a good idea if you do it right, and here I will explain how"? :)

I didn't mean to imply that mocking is bad. Is that what you took from it? Why would I explain how to get mocks to work if I thought people shouldn't use mocks?

I don't think skimming countries of 1.1bn would be considered legal

A long time ago, because I've got bookmarks for 5 or 6 news sites that I regularly visit (usually daily). And of course those bookmarks go to the front pages.

Facebook for news...seriously? Even HN, though I sometimes follow links to news sites, is primarily of interest for me as a source of links to obscure blog posts and similar non-news stuff. The news links are usually colored as "already visited" for me. Nevertheless, quite often the comments to these news articles are still worth reading. Which stands in stark contrast to Facebook comments on news articles...
How about in the thread? It would be really helpful.
Honestly, this sounds like a reasonable hack.

The dominant notion of property rights, wherein a given individual can do absolutely anything to something as long as they can get a government to say it's theirs, ends up being pretty flawed. E.g., the massive negative externalities that caused us to eventually adopt things like the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act.

I'd rather see a more thoughtful and nuanced system that carefully weighs competing interests. But people being what they are, giving legal personhood to rivers seems less ridiculous than giving it to corporations.
> there is little added value to using geometric algebra compared to other representations

This is not right in my experience. When trying to solve geometry problems I find that working out the details in terms of the GA formalism typically saves big piles of work compared to other formalisms (such as matrices, differential forms, trigonometry, analytic geometry, ...).

The biggest features are (a) access to a concept of “multivectors”, and (b) access to a concept of vector division.

Mathematicians use these concepts all the time in the planar setting by pretending that points and vectors are just funny kinds of complex numbers, and eliding the semantic differences between these different types of objects. Similarly for the use of quaternions in 3D (though this is less common nowadays than complex numbers).

But multivectors and vector division are very powerful tools in more general settings.

What sometimes ends up happening is I try to solve a problem using my (more extensively trained) understanding from standard undergraduate math courses and other standard textbooks, flail around with a bunch of horrible fiddly algebra for a while, then decide to redo my work in terms of GA and end up with like 4–5 lines of simple manipulation replacing a page of messy work.

And I am by no means an expert. There are many extremely convenient (multi)vector identities which I have not properly learned and end up laboriously working out for myself while solving geometric problems. If I had spent more time doing guided exercises I am sure I could be still much more efficient.
> How much kickback can it handle - could you actually fire a gun from this?

That's a problem that could be solved by firing a blank round (of similar momentum to the live round) in the opposite direction.
The article doesn't mention customer id and account creation date, though these records were almost certainly along the login and passwords also. It's general news article.
if anyone wants a slightly deeper discussion can someone tell me honestly, how is Activision Blizzard they fucking this up?

They settled with the US government to the tune of $300 million over this setup, and European area governments are seeking $1.1 billion.

Setting up transfer pricing arrangement to tax havens literally involves paying kickbacks to the IRS via an advance pricing agreement before you start doing the IP revenue games.

Something went wrong.

My guess is that there also was some incompetence outside of the APA arrangement. I would see new employees interpreting something in a more and more warped way getting this messed up, along with incompetence in the island countries used changing rules under their feet.
Have you heard about the law of supply and demand? Because it is bullshit. Salaries are not set based upon some fictional law of economics. Instead, look to sociology and biology to explain managerial salaries. Developers may be harder to recruit than managers but occupy a lower rung on the totem pole than them. Hence cannot be paid more than managers. Because pay is status and leaders have more status than followers. The more people you lead the more status and money.

Ha. I was judging her for being too lax for letting her daughter have a smart phone at all.
I carry the new Nokia 3310 and very happy with it. Took a few weeks to relearn how to type a text but I'm fast enough now. (Though keep messages short)

Then best part about the phone is that I'm not tempted to pull it out of my pocket and check social media or browse the web every minute of the day.

It's also one of the smallest phones on the market, fits in the hand and pocket much better than every other phone.

I also have data completely disabled on it. I haven't changed my phone plan yet because I wasn't sure I would be happy with the phone, but Ive been using it about 3 months now and thinking of downgrading to a $10 a month plan.

Cuture fit is a blank check to fail a person's interview just because you didn't like them in the first 30 seconds. Short of the candidate showing some glaring interpersonal issues (I once had a guy who used the word "fuck" during his interview like 100 times) it is categorically impossible to establish in a 45 minute interview whether a person is actually a "fit" or not. So it's mostly a legitimized form of hiring bias. Too old? That's a poor "culture fit" right there.
Also, if you enable "green" email, you seem to get Google's top 10 email exchangers overall. You can even drill down by region.
Yes sure, in the thread!
You can bump up the level of housework pretty aggressively by making certain lifestyle decisions, which you may make unintentionally.

For example, decide you prize cleanliness, then get a pet animal that leaves hair everywhere. Have three children doing sports several times a week and wash all sportswear after a single use. Remember every friend and relative's birthday and send them an appropriate and thoughtful card or gift, not just cash or a gift card. Repair damaged clothes when you can, as it's cheaper and also environmentally friendly. Change bedsheets and clean the bathroom on a more regular schedule. Separate the recycling in excruciating detail. Join the housing association board because god knows, someone needs to reign those idiots in. Accommodate fussy eaters by cooking multiple and sometimes complex meals, so you have to visit several supermarkets to get all the ingredients you need. Do nice and helpful things for other members of your community, to save up favours you'll be able to cash in later. Keep the garden looking nice. And of course you haven’t invited your friends to a dinner party yet...

Of course you don’t have to do this stuff, but if you’re looking at the subjects of an article about gender role performance, maybe you see it at a higher rate.
Because I was curious (and I am a Verizon customer), I took a look. Verizon Prepaid has exactly one feature phone available now: https://www.zteusa.com/cymbal-lte

Amazon lists at least one more but look at the fine print, if it's a 3G model it can't be activated after the end of 2018.
It says something like "without interference, some execution path has proven to be as fast as x". This probably isn't exactly what you wanted to know (e.g. expected time), but is likely to be much faster to compute for some thing that's probably usually strongly correlated.

The problem with the existence of 100 independent states is that you need a very large number of trials to get a performance measurement of each—and you're still left with the problem of statistic to reduce each to (min? mean? and how??). Attempting to take the mean with the CST should eventually work, but it might need a very long time. Instead, the minimum lets to pick whichever mode was fastest and compare the time of that mode. Sure, that might not be great for all cases, but if that's the worst problem with the benchmark suite, I'd say you're in pretty good shape. I've run into issues where the CPU appears to have memorized the random number sequence in the test data—how are you supposed to pick the better algorithm when the CPU won't let you run the 99% case under a benchmarking harness...

Yeah, minimum isn't perfect, but it's at least pretty clear what it says, as long as there isn't incentive to abuse it (I might say the same about p-value vs bayesian).
