The single most popular fast food in Berlin is Döner Kebab, which is about 40% fresh vegetables, 25% bread, 30% grilled meat and some sauce/spices.

It's not super unhealthy as fast foods go.

I was in a startup trying to commercialise async technology back in 2002; we wound it back to just doing better clock gating and eventually sold out to Cadence.

It's not a silver bullet. It gives you maybe 30% less power? Gate leakage has been creeping upwards too, since there's a direct speed/leakage tradeoff.
Ooh, the idea of the whole seat tilting back sounds fantastic. I suspect part of the reason I can never sleep on flights is because I constantly feel like I'm sliding forward out of the seat while trying to be comfortable. (The other reason, I suspect, is that I just can't sleep in a seated position.)

Self help books more or less carry the same advice, just told in variety of different ways and in form of different stories. They all seem to come to the same conclusions.

If you really want to read a good self help book, then toss everything from your shelf that has not been written before the year 1900.

Self improvement and ways to do it has been mastered by many people long long time ago. For those who write about it now, are milking the age old cow.

And it gets boring and repetitive real soon.

Also, I would like to talk about what does the Author of this post means when she says "Being a Better Human Being".
What does it even mean? Isn't it just a definition or a set of definitions, conjured by some human(s), to force/condition other people to fall in line.

This would certainly make things more comfortable for me in general, but I doubt I'd be able to sleep: the real issue for me is that I just can't sleep in a seated position unless I'm exceptionally tired (like, have been awake for more than 24 hours straight tired).

There could be any number of reasons why your current system is holding you back. Wherever you’re starting to feel the pinch, the price of ownership is that you don’t have the luxury of saying “that part’s not my problem” or “I don’t get involved at that level.”

You won’t hear it from me, either.

Well, Signal comes with a system for verifying a person's identity, so you can be sure it's really someone you know and not an imposter. But sure, for semi-public channels that will let anyone in without verification, something like this would allow you to monitor it. Lesson: If you're using Signal to run a dissident network and organize protests, be sure to verify everyone before adding them to groups.

I rejected wireless intercoms at the time because every wireless thing I bought had horrible sound quality, like the worst walkie-talkie. Even with simple analog electronics, wired had good sound quality.

I did install some speaker wires, but the times when I wanted to play music in one room and hear it in another are just about never.

Guess I'm just not finding any point to home automation. Even if I had installed a home automation system, the intervening years would have turned it into expensive obsolete junk anyway. I've heard of people, when they try to sell their homes, having to rip it all out and put in conventional wiring.

What did pay off was running Cat5 and RG6 cables in a star configuration. Wifi has improved greatly, but it's nothing like a wired connection for smooth, problem free operation.

This isn't going to get solved. The reason that these movies aren't online is basically a lack of clarity on the IP rights to sell the movies as streaming. None of the contracts between the parties in the 70s had any provisions for online streaming, so it's a big unsolved mystery as to who is allowed to do what.

No studio's lawyers are going to open up a can of liability worms for a few thousand $3.99 rentals of some 70s movies.
Yes, saw that one. Neat.

My stuff is even simpler. It is just a flat array in memory and should just not be used when you want random single element inserts or deletions. But I find that rather uncommon anyway in many use cases. I made sure that building a new collection from an iterator is fast.

What I do use is a minimum comparison sort that makes very common cases very fast in terms of number of comparisons, and some unsafe stuff to allow in place updates to prevent allocations.

> I never stopped going out for drinks. I always kept enjoying being with other people, it has never been about the alcohol going out.

The author writes the same about coffee: "I found out that “Going for a coffee” turned out to be more of a social activity than the actual craving for coffee. Keep the social habit, replace coffee with something else."

They seem to be saying that they can't stand "gossip" in one setting (in a bar) but do enjoy it in another (in a coffee place). Maybe the author's acquaintances are really all terrible drunks, but maybe the author is just contradicting themselves to justify to themselves that alcohol is bad.

I congratulate the author on stopping drinking, but article does wade a bit too deep into "I'm virtuous, you are all phonies" territory.

if they do that it's very, very subtle.

You fundamentally misunderstand how Lightning works.

In lightning you literally have a signed bitcoin transaction that allows you to receive the funds on-chain at any time. You don't submit it because you can continue to cooperatively sign new transactions that change respective balances between you and other channel participants.

This is nothing like an IOU, because you have the ability to settle any time you want (just broadcast a signed transactions you already have), there is just no reason to.

Based on your replies I am going to assume you are actually trying to misinform people.

Hate meetings as I know I will be doing all the tricks to stay awake. Pinching my legs, rotating feet, shifting about, hoping my drink lasts...

Which is why I hate meetings that are longer than 15 minutes. Hardly any need to be any longer. If they do then they are workshops, not meetings.

I get quite frustrated and often walk out before they finish as often a possible solution and plan has been decided on quite quickly, then people realise they got another 45 minutes to go of the booked meeting so might as well discuss another subject or worse: guessing hypothetical responses to what might happen after the meeting.

No, let's just quickly do what we just all decided was the best plan. If that doesn't work, let's talk again. Most of the time it will work and we saved a lot of wasted time. And frustrations.

I don't actually hate meetings. I just hate long meetings. 1 hour is a long meeting.

TLB hierarchy is not a B-tree, it is a trie in all of the CPUs. Very different layout (not balanced and also hard sized), much faster on happy path.

Making a 48-bit B-tree would have a bit of a memory problem making TLB huge.

And then CPU cache is an array. Single virtual memory access is bound to be a single physical as well, with minor exceptions for NUMA nodes being crossed.
I suspect that selling the code to another company, even a small one without too much established tech, will be pretty difficult. If you were able to find someone to buy it, at the very least I expect they'd want you to work with/for them for a while to help with integration, handoff, and support. So you'd have to be ok with that. But it certainly doesn't hurt to try to shop it around.

I'd definitely suggest that you chat with a lawyer first so you can be sure that you're protecting yourself properly, both from your old co-founder, and from any people you might show the code to.

Are you required to sell the code as a part of your separation from the company? If not, you might consider starting your own company around it, if you still believe in the product.

Ultimately, I don't think you're getting a great deal here. If you don't have a prior agreement that gives you anything more liquid, you might be out of luck (since your co-founder is winding down the company, you soon won't even have an entity to file a complaint against), but "code in lieu of cash" isn't a great payout.

I loved Fy! I hope you will hire remote data analysts one day.
As anecdata, my most successful peer from school and college is a guy who didn't finish HS and calling him, at that time, an average talent (even in soft skills) was sympathetic. He happened to start working in a software company around 1998 doing menial work and today he is a continental sales manager. By the other hand I have several bright and hard working peers that are struggling in life despite having (anachronic) master degrees.
Sure, but those values are not always the noble idea of wanting to help people. There are a lot of egotistical social misfits with temper problems who are operating on us. Some of them are very good at it. Some of them are less good.

> meetings at work trigger something deep inside me that cause me to sleep

I get this, though I know that it is in part because I don't get enough good sleep often (due to a mix of insomnia & bad sleep as symptoms of being a bit bi-polar, and life just being too darn busy) even at times when I am feeling well rested & wide awake it still happens.

A meeting room full of people, even the big "board room", tends to be warmer and cosier than our usual open-plan office which is definitely part of what causes the effect.

Also, the start of a meeting that I'm not running is a point where the brain shuts off a bit: I'm no longer concentrating on my work but there is nothing else to take my attention while waiting for others to file-/dial-in or the chair to get things started. Normally when I down tools it is to do something else, for instance my lunch-time march in the fresh air, rather than to just sit and stop for a moment in a warm room. Of course there is "networking" going on rather than it being completely dead time, but that isn't the same as concentrating on a work task or physically doing something.
Oh wow. I haven't read such a hard core conspiracy theory article full of wilful words (such as "a Microsoft agent" etc) since decades. When I was young, I shared this view of big bad companies willing to eat up the free will and our beloved GNU/Linux.

Actually, the world is different today. My feeling is that MS is quite struggling with the pure existence of their OS. Every developer I know used Mac OS X of Linux on his machine. So (s)he most certainly doesn't produce a product for the Windows platform. My feeling is that WSL is an attempt to attract these developers. And hell yes, it may work and may reduce the market share of Linux on the desktop. But the "year of Linux desktop" never came and probably never comes, and the OSS community is strong enough to accept Windows as another non-free Linux-distribution. The other (real) distributions won't die from it.

There are a couple of common hash join algorithms that databases use: symmetric hash join and asymmetric hash join. The latter is actually simpler. Take the first (smaller) table and read it into a hash table (assuming it can fit in memory for simplicity's sake). Then stream all rows from the second table, looking up the join key for each input row in the hash table containing the first table. If you get a match, emit an output row. For symmetric hash join, you stream both input tables simultaneously: for each input row, you first check the other input table's hash table for a match (emitting an output row for each match), and then add the input row to that input table's hash table. (When you've exhausted one of the input tables, you can actually delete the other input table's hash table from memory, since you won't produce any more matches from it.) Again I've oversimplified in assuming that the input tables fit in memory, but the algorithms for spilling to disk are pretty simple (basically hash the inputs on the join key into disk partitions which do fit into memory and build hash tables from each partition).

Parallel databases also use hash join for performing distributed joins: each node hashes its inputs on the join key to distribute onto the other nodes, so that all inputs with the same join key end up on the same node. Then you can apply one of the hash join algorithms above.
