To me Wordpress sounds exactly a suggestion you'd get from someone who doesn't have to maintain it. I.e. frontend dev.
John Earnest links to his tutorial in the Stages of Denial post; if you click it and give it a read, you'll probably understand much easier.

But you shouldn't feel pressured to use k: people who advocate for k play the role of a Cassandra who can drown her tears in dollar bills.

...and in idiomatic K code, you apparently still need to constantly wonder what 'a' or 'X' means in your current context, with likely 5 different usages on your screen at once.
Who says it was otherwise unused? Web apps aren't used in isolation, the additional RAM you're using to speed things up by 3% has caused my code look-ups to slow down by 30% because you've consumed what was my file cache.
While true, this kind of analysis would still be useful for the allocation of that budget. You should still aim for maximum profit when you actually can calculate that value and dump the rest of your budget somewhere else that makes sense but is much harder to quantify (market research, brand marketing).

In any case, my experience is that "in the real world" is code for just giving in to systemic inefficiency and purposefully mismanaging your resources.
Which part do you not understand? In any case, raya.k is quite splendid. Did you check that one out? It's very clean and quite simple. (I linked to it right below that one.)

A million-line program isn't readable by anybody, no matter how readable the language is. If the equivalent program can be written in, say, a thousand lines in some more concise language, that's more than worth the learning curve, even if the language is strange and off-putting.

You'll get a bunch of garbage answers here to be frank, from people who never put more than trivial load through both.

Memcache blows redis out of the water in terms of raw throughput and latency, like it's not even remotely close on modern lots of cores and big memory machines.

Redis has a more feature rich api, but has fundamentally hobbled itself on a root hash table and concurrency implementation that is circa 1990.

Give memcached a try, even if it means you implement some stuff you currently defer to redis ops. Measure it. Look at the code bases. Make up your own mind about performance and which actually makes your code simpler.

Arthur tries to choose primitives carefully so that the amount of steps is smaller than other languages (see the 'product' quote in another comment). So even if you give each symbol an English name, the code will often end up smaller.
That objection seems trivial.

What is the state of adding higher-level logic to the DRAM chips? E.g. clear a whole DRAM row to 0 (blank memory for new processes). With today's processes, we can probably fit whole simple processor cores there easily.
Bins and human nature are a surprisingly interesting topic. I would not draw the same conclusion as you did for where I live. Having the bin there would prompt -some- to use it, and they would probably use it wrong. Uncompostables in the compost bin and so on. It always boggles my mind how otherwise intelligent people in my life arrive at our colour coded bins, with clearly marked instructions on the lid, and choose instead to use their trusty intuition to sort the trash.

literally any of it. I don't know perl but I can read and modify well written perl scripts in a pinch with maybe a little googling.

I know several major languages and this program looks like noise to me. is it standard to give functions terrible names? and to not pull out constants to make things understandable? i'm unclear what semi-colons, colons and commas do here or why the lines are so long.

I never got much into H5. To be frank I was disgusted by V's art direction, obnoxious story, and the initiative system was a far cry from the elegant one from IV. But there's no denying H5 did get fixed and plenty of people like it. I heard it favorably compared to H5 and H6 numerous times. It's like Quake 3 which I initially disliked but later learned to appreciate it for what it is.

Problems with IV were fundamental, especially AI, the extremely linear campaign with constricted path and a megaton of scripted events. And that's ironic because the main designer wanted it to be "back to strategic roots". Potion of immortality is something not easily solved with a balance patch where you just tweak a few numbers. The 'heroes as units' system is fundamentally hard to balance in a game where heroes grow on logarithmic scale and armies on linear scale. In hindsight it might seem silly to expect hero power progression that remains distinct for hero types and scales perfectly to plus infinity, but that's more less what people expected after huge maps of Heroes3, with caverns which morphed from an extra place to put loot (as initially designed) to a whole second world. It frustrates me to this day, because there are many very interesting design ideas in there.

Of course, All the initial games (Heroes I,II, III) were very incremental in design. All creatures from H1 made it to H2, all from H2 made it to H3. It had to change, it had to be re-imagined. If for no other reason that extra permutation of stats and abilities start feeling very same-y when the system doesn't have enough depth. It's easy to spot that, for example, level7 creatures used the 250 life, 30-40ish damage and growth 3/week template with little deviation. Heroes III felt the most template'y and elsewhere I made some very good points that Heroes II had much better design, especially spell balance. The most powerful spells in Heroes III are the first level ones - stuff like haste, slow scales extremely well with army size and you get mass version through an Expert magic skill.
You're overestimating how readable any programming language is to non-programmers.
The problem is that they are measuring inflation of things like consumer goods, but where inflation ended up occurring was in the stock market - it costs substantially more to buy a given percentage of a companies stock now than it did 5 or 10 years ago.

Plus, some common expenses like health care, college education, and housing have been increasing by way more than the Fed's target as well, and credible arguments have been made that the official inflation numbers don't take this into effect appropriately.
Chance.

Or, to put it another way: history.
There are still significant challenges wrt workplace culture, meeting times, organizational setup (how work is actually synchronized between timezones/handed off), and, most importantly, language.

That is about right. What happens at -O4 is that for every variable, the upper and lower bounds are tested, and if using the bound as the value for the variable would make the problem unsolvable, then that bound is discarded. For some problems, this can be very useful and reduce the time to find a solution significantly. For other problems, it might not find any value to remove, or the values removed might not help solution times at all. The -O5 level is the same, but instead of just testing boundary values for immediate failure, all values in the domain are tested.

As a side note, while MiniZinc uses Gecode for the optimization this is not actually anything special built-in to Gecode, it is just a usage of the library.
Popular dating app leak puts millions of women at risk
You have already got floating point inaccuracy on the input, even if the library somehow avoid inaccuracy when computing the determinant, it can't tell the reason for a zero or almost-zero arising. What is the library supposed to do? You will have to deal with the issue of either a very big numbers matrix, or no matrix at all, in any case.

This is a great example of the fallacy of believing that a library automatically solves arbitrary issues.
Eh? The LuaJIT and K interpreters definitely fit into L1 instruction cache. (And have since well before 2013 probably.) Honestly I would be kind of surprised if most interpreters for reasonably small languages don't fit into icache. Sure Python's not going to any time soon, but most interpreters are really not very large.
What if democratic institutions really have been captured by an elite? Regulatory capture comes to mind as a problem that objectively exists.

The kind of populism that promises easy answers by oversimplifying the issues is a problem.

At the same time, I often feel that there is a deep flaw in modern "moderate/centrist" thinking in not trying hard enough to do the things that would actually be popular, instead coming up with overly technocratic and ultimately flawed arguments for maintaining a status quo that provides bad results for a large fraction of the population.

As a politician, how would you call for getting out of that without being branded as the bad kind of populist?
You're right, this is not at all an accurate epidemic model. My goal with this was to better understand the relationship between the infection rate and the speed of the virus spread, as well as how it affects different age cohorts via an age-dependent mortality. It's a simple probabilistic model with discrete time steps, I think it yields similar results to the SIR model but isn't based on a differential equation. Cohort simulation techniques are e.g. used by the census bureau here in Germany to simulate aging of the population.

Please note that the transmission rates are not fixed, the model assumes that an infected person makes random connections to other people from the population (so not small world but not far-fetched for a small country like Germany), the more people are already infected or cured from those people, the smaller the effective transmission rate (hence not all people end up infected).

You could of course improve this by using a network model or a much more complex social simulation, most of the dynamics will be qualitatively (not quantitatively) very similar though.

You can see e.g. that as of now, despite the boggling complexity of the real world the number of infections almost perfectly follows an exponential function. So even a simple model can sometimes give you qualitative insights into a problem. I am sure that the epidemology institutes like the Robert-Koch-Institut have much much more powerful models to predict the spread of the disease, this here is just a toy.
Do we need Standup? What problems does it help with?
This varies by jurisdiction. It’s nearly impossible to answer your question without knowing in which countries you and your target audience are.
I have not experienced that.

If you see many different usages of the same identifier then it’s probably a common construct/pattern you aren’t aware of.

In the same way as ‘i’ tends to be used as the current array index in a for loop - but devs don’t get confused by seeing ‘i’ used in lots of different loops.

Or kotlin devs seeing ‘it’ or class based language devs seeing ‘this’.
Sure you can — from repeated usage of said symbol in context. That’s how language acquisition works in toddlers.

Not saying that it’s a preferred way, though.
Just FYI, prefetch instructions are already a thing (at least on x86). At present they're only hints to the underlying heuristic system though. (https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/prefetchh)

Cache-as-RAM is also a thing, and allows the sort of pinning you described. Pretty specialized use cases though. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41775371/what-use-is-the...)
Back when I was in school neural networks, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms were all taught in the same course called soft computing.

This probably assumes your conclusion, since AP computer science probably teaches one style of programming rather than another.
I questioned your intentions, I didn't judge them - as I can't know them. I did judge your responses though. That's a good thing and something we owe to each other in a meaningful conversation.
The whole article is trivial and trite, yet dressed up as something novel.
That depends.

When my assumptions about the underlying problem are wrong a million line program is much easier to fix than a thousand line one.

Or rather, a thousand line concise program in a quirky language will become a million line program in a quirky language when exposed to changing business requirements.
Thanks, I fixed that! There are models that take the geographic distribution into account, e.g. this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF3FhOPwv2w

That said for a small countrly like Germany the spread seems to even out pretty quickly, two weeks ago we just had some cases localized in a small region and now almost every state reports many new cases daily.

To what extent were the SIFT patents enforced?

As an undergraduate I worked as an RA for some (IEEE published) research at my uni for some robotics work and I gather that violating the SIFT patent was somewhat common when it wasn't obvious SIFT was being used, e.g. when SIFT was being used as a fungible solution:

Self-driving car demo that recognizes road-signs? No, that's too obvious.

Object recognition primarily using HOG or other approaches but using SIFT as a fallback or for determining a confidence value? Go ahead.

And SIFT was used in a lot of private projects (proof-of-concepts, etc) or lab workers' weekend personal projects. This was in academia, but I'm curious if this attitude extends to industry anywhere.
If the language allows you to simplify the program sufficiently it might be easier to just rewrite it from scratch when the requirements change. I doubt that this is the case for any language, but you know, in principle it could happen.
Thanks! I think frameworks are overkill for such small projects, setting up a full project e.g. using React, Babel, Webpack, D3 and SASS would have taken me longer than I needed to finish this whole project, I think :D

Most modern browsers have really good support for JS and CSS so you don't need any additional libraries.

Regular expressions are a more concise way of writing string matching and extraction code, often exponentially more efficiently than without. They’re also usually more compact than spoken English can represent. For example, this proofreading regex detects possible issues in spelling:

Weekly Robotics #81
Only if it's written in a style which affords reading. K programmers seem to want to write their code in a mathematical style, but without the natural language prose which makes mathematical papers readable. In a paper by a mature mathematician, the equations only perform some of the work in expressing the idea. The rest of the work is done by prose written with an intent to be lucidly expository, to allow the notation to be terse because the high-level concepts are being expressed in a natural language.

We have this style in the programming world. It's called Literate Programming. How many K programmers write in that style?

Welcome to Naijapep News's Blog
It was a month ago I checked it out and it just wasn't usable - i do not remember the details but even basic things did not work. I had a json dataset i just wanted in a local db, and that was proving challenging for simple operations is what I remember, didn't even get into the p2p side yet. If I remember correctly, it wasn't returning accurate results when queried.

try creating a youtube video of getting it to work from scratch, reading and writing data and i think you will see the problems. Or maybe ask a friend that is less familiar than yourself to try it, the problems seemed rather obvious as it just didn't work for a basic use case.
Because italian/spanish love to kiss each other as a salute and hug and all kinds of physical contact as opposed to english for example who wouldn't. Hence virus is easier to spread there.
It's weird because it has side-effects (namely, implicitly adding/setting a named property in the current scope object, if any).

It means that a top-level script using `var` that is subsequently refactored into a scoped function somewhere will now have different semantics and might break if other code depended on `var` creating a new global property.
But "everybody randomly mix with each other" means everybody within an infected locale, not everyone on the planet.

As far as we know, it can only be transmitted by contact (including surfaces), only while the virus is active, and only from an infected person while communicable.

A huge portion of world population outside of the First World won't even be "in range." Its spread has been very constrained given that it was in the wild for months with most people taking no special precautions whatsoever.

Look how ridiculously transmissible measles is, yet it took centuries to get to some highly populated regions.
