My First Week as Embedded FOSS Advocate
Totally different plants and different etymology. Salvia is from "Salvare" that means "to save", It was a widely known fix-all remedy in roman empire. Nobody would confuse it.

It was probably just another extinct endemism, maybe a big Apiaceae.

The carrot family is complicated with a mix of edible and very poisonous species like hemlock. I would not advice to play with unknown species of Apiaceae just trying to find this plant.
This is true. The best scheme is the formal written exam, because oral exams can have issues with bias.

Assignments can be useful for learning, as a way to keep students on-track. In my undergraduate days, assignments were optional, and scores on them were ignored if the exam had a higher score. That struck me as a good approach, but nowadays I think it would lead professors to create easy final exams, to avoid the low scores that lead to student complaints and problems at tenure time.

This depends on the borough.

My London borough (Haringey) does not do this and only use the Source network for which my home is equidistant to several... being more than 1km from all of them. No letters or pleas, or offers from myself to fund installation of lamp post charges in line with govt grants have been successful.

I'm going to be purchasing another fossil fuel vehicle as it's clear that electric won't work for me unless I can get the distance to a charger below 100m.

Oh... and charging from the property by running a cable over or across a path is apparently against the law: "Highways Act 1980, it is illegal for any person to place or run a cable or wire along or across any part of a public highway. So running a charging cable across a footway is not permitted" (excerpt from council reply to my enquiries).

> which is exactly the same per-core bandwidth we had in 2005.

Modern CPU cores are way faster than ones in 15 years old CPUs.

That 2015 processor has AMD K8 cores. I wasn’t able to find exact info, but slightly newer AMD K10 can do 8 single-precision FLOPs/cycle, at 2.8 GHz.

Modern Zen2 cores can do 32 FLOPs/cycle at approximately same frequency, i.e. per-core performance improved by a factor of 4.

Both numbers are theoretical limits only achieved with very specific workloads and heavy use of manual vectorization. Still, real-life general-purpose code scales quite similarly between them. CPU benchmark says their single-threaded performance improved by a factor of 3.5.

The fed got majority of the banks when it bailed them out, and all executives where on a leash, and getting paid less until it was all back to normal.

In fact, the fed ended up turning profit, as the banks healed, and the fed sold its part.

those "owners" got their assets froze until the situation became under control, and the fed got its money back.

All these complaints about savings big banks are just extremist (both commies and libertarians complain about it) FUD. If banks were not saved, the economy, the middle class and the poor would be far worse.

and as grandparent said

>Shareholders took huge losses in the bank “bail-outs” in 2008

Shareholders are by definition "who owns". Sure there are both Billionaires and middle-class shareholders, but if you have a bigger % of shares, you have a bigger loss.

But frequency of RAM and latency is not the same. DDR2-800 can have something like 4-4-4-12 timings, while DDR4-2666 can have something like 15-17-17-35 timings. So their result latency will be around the same! And those numbers I just googled, I did not made them up.

DDR2 vs DDR4 has effectively zero impact on latency. Due to the physical distances between RAM modules and the CPU, that’s been stuck within a narrow range for decades. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAS_latency

The specific implication details make a difference, but nothing is going to provide a 4x improvement in latency so other considerations take precedence. The real change is ever growing cache sizes allowing CPU’s to minimize random RAM reads.
Roughly yes. All wrapped in a nice UI.

> I often wonder if what people refer to as communism, wasn't just a corrupted implementation of it

History tends to repeat itself. Your words are almost exactly the same as those used by communist leaders in Poland during periods of social unrest (they referred to "a period of mistakes and distortions").

I am scared of the resurgence of idealized communism, here on HN and elsewhere (see how my comment above has been downvoted). People build their own ideas of what communism is, failing to grasp that it has a fundamental problem with incentives and can never work. It's been tried many times, and it failed every time, with the exact same issues.

If you want to fight wealth inequality, great, more power to you. But that's not communism. The central tenet of communism is common (social) ownership, which is exactly what removes incentives and what has been shown to fail every time.

From what I can see, the understanding of communism online is pretty shallow, with most people focusing on the "let's have a revolution and take away from the rich people" part, with a minor addition of "things communism got right".
That's the joke? Use of new Function and eval is also generally not recommended.

Getting Started with CloudWatch Synthetics – Canary
Immediately post crisis, inflation was a big worry with the increase in the money supply. The concern was that the government would be too slow to turn the tap off and wed be back to the 1970’s with inflation in the teens.

Incredibly the inflation has been limited to only a few assets.

If we do see a spike in inflation watch out for housing prices to plummet. It won’t necessarily make them any more affordable because a mortgage payment of $3000 per month stays the same borrowing $500k at today’s rates or $200k at 10% interest (made those numbers up, but you get the point).
They could also have been articles, probably also better for a11y.

The browser's implementation of numbering ol's is to align them to the right and render them hanging. They don't impact the layout, much like position: absolute, and they grow to the left.

The default ol/ul behaviour leaves some space to the left where the bullets/numbers should fit. This means you need to take into account the maximum width of the number.

I had no idea how much is the limit of the API, could have been thousands of items, and I didn't want to leave space for four digits until you scroll down to item #1234

I could also have implemented this using CSS `counter-increment` and `content`, but this was a better approach for debugging if the articles were rendering in the right order, while the CSS approach only takes into consideration the amount of DOM nodes.

> Is a significant part of git's typical profile spent computing hashes?

No.
Hashes are really cheap.

This annoys me a bit, because every discussion about hashing goes into endless bikeshedding which hash function to use. The simple truth is: SHA2, SHA3, Blake2/3 are all good enough from both a security and performance perspective that for almost any use case and the advantages and disadvantages are so minor that it really doesn't matter.
As mentioned, the shattered PDFs[1] have the same length, however it's worth noting that adding the Git header breaks the matching, ie. you get different SHA sums for the files in Git because of the header.

Sure, I rent a large, new, 3 bedroom house 20 minutes by train from the Melbourne CBD for $2250/month. It's great. I certainly couldn't do that in Toronto or Vancouver.

Granted if you want to buy a house, Australia (especially Sydney) is expensive for a bunch of reasons (negative gearing etc). But Toronto is still more expensive than Melbourne and Vancouver is much more expensive.
That doesn't excuse the lack of housing, there is still plenty of very nice coastal areas that could be much more heavily populated.

The recent influx of Chinese immigration has more impact on our current housing price situation than geographical limitations.
$170kCAD for an experienced engineer in Toronto is touching the upper ranges, but 5 years ago that number was at $120CAD. You are seeing higher than 170k at some companies and I know of people working remote for SV companies at very good salaries. You’re right about equity, though.

Something happened in the last 2 years in particular that has caused salaries to skyrocket (trump policies taking effect?).

If you have a family, the public schools are generally better in Toronto as well.

>> If we're extrapolating, this is just saying growing market means growing jobs? I don't know why this is disturbing or perverse.

Except it doesn't mean a growing market at all, it means increased concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few manipulative zero-sum game mega-corps. Where economists are wrong is that the S&P500 index has become a terrible way to measure economic growth. It mostly measures economic concentration.

Also, by manipulating the market for software engineering talent, megacorps are holding the entire industry hostage. These megacorps don't need so many employees, they only hire them because they can afford it and it allows them to maintain dominance; these are smart people and their skills are basically wasted and their minds atrophy in the midst of mind-numbing bureaucracy.

That's why big tech companies have so much power over politics; through market manipulation (through media influence and job market manipulation), they've created an economic fiction of fast growth and success and they're holding it for ransom over politicians' heads. The politicians have to choose between helping them to perpetuate the fiction or to be blamed for a market crash.
Seems like they made the right choice then, now they can blame themselves.
> Communism probably led to faster investments in education and healthcare than would otherwise have occurred in countries like Romania and Bulgaria.

I think much more than healthcare and education, investment in infrastructure, industry and research were somewhat "redeeming" features of the brutal totalitarian regimes in Romania at least.

More to the point, most ground-breaking research, especially computing and rocketry, has actually come from the state in the capitalist USA, with private capital only serving with mass-marketing of those technologies once proven out and gifted from the public to the private space.

Also, a non-capitalist society would not be investor-less. It would instead spread investment opportunities to vastly more people, and would encourage them to band together and pool their investment in worker-owned enterprises. This is in stark contrast to the totalitarian state capitalism of the so-called "communist countries".
