You can see that when TIMER macro is undefined in that benchmark code then no timer management is performed at all.

What's shown in the paper that bucketized cukoo + bloom compares well to he other hash tables they looked at (DPDK is probably a bit of a red-herring since it supports, and is optimized for, concurrent operations - but that's by the by). And here, a comparison with a fast robin-hood-ish hash like swiss or bytell would be interesting.

But also in the same benchmarks, cuckoo++ with timers is being compared directly against benchmark runs where no timer management is performed at all. The results show that it to be comparable. So presumably, when compared against traditional timer management like heaps/wheels it would be significantly ahead. But the explicit comparison hasn't been done anywhere as far as I know.

That's more what I was getting at in previous comments. Of course, you can look at it the other way around and you can rip out the timer stuff and compare bucketized cuckoo + bloom as just a hash table in its own right too.

The other comparison might also be interesting, can you do similar timer stuff with a robin-hood hash? You'd probably have to give up the SIMD, or come up with a new scheme to make SIMD usable, since that's what bucketized cuckoo enables you to do easily and that robin hood doesn't.

Edit: thanks for the correction btw!

what's different now? they're legally required to do both as of now.

Are you telling me that the H1-B that is hired doesn't do any work and free-loading off the American economy without paying any taxes (like Social Security, which they don't get to access).

It doesn't seem very secret. Being forbidden to use arches or fluting ought to grate on avowedly iconoclastic architects, but they toe the line almost enthusiastically.

There is a fashion for unpleasant music in certain quarters, but people's access to music has never been as "gatekept" as are decisions about public architecture.

At some point I actually needed an iPhone to perform some tasks in my life, and there was a huge gap between iOS and android. I think that gap is pretty thin now.

Balance in diet seems to be the one principal that will never go away. I'm suspicious of any diet that eats too much of one thing, especially if it claims the other things are harmful.
All data indicate there is no shortage of US Citizens that could fill STEM positions and that H1-B holders on average make well below market rate. Outright ban is the wrong tool and I can't imagine that this is a reasoned policy response to a well understood abuse of wage-arbitrage. The right answer would be to mandate comparable wages for H1-B immigrants as for median employee with the same experience/tenure etc...

"A comprehensive literature review, in conjunction with employment statistics, newspaper articles, and our own interviews with company recruiters, reveals a significant heterogeneity in the STEM labor market: the academic sector is generally oversupplied, while the government sector and private industry have shortages in specific areas."

https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2015/article/stem-crisis-or-ste...

"Our examination shows that the STEM shortage in the United States is largely overblown. Guestworker programs are in need of reform, but any changes should make sure that guestworkers are not lower-paid substitutes for domestic workers."

So the second example I’m assuming is the operating model of companies like Accenture, Cognizant, etc.

I’m flooding this thread a bit, but I’ve always been a little confused by the consultancy firms. Is there a clear difference between off shoring and H1B? Or is it mostly the same thing for these companies, with different margins for each.
The people you hear from might have a been a bad sample. In the bike crazy Netherlands, where last year they bought more e-bikes than regular bikes, the most common use of e-bikes is to replace car trips of up to 15km distance. That is my personal experience as well and I was quite surprised.

You don't understand how biology works. If you give free housing and other benefits to homeless people, they will replicate more and more, until you cannot afford doing this and you will end with even more homeless people than before. Read about migrant crisis in Europe that caused Brexit and many other issues. All those people moved to Europe because they were attracted by social benefits in some countries like free housing etc.

How so? Presumably he signed his contract in India - how would his company enforce it?
There is no “opt” visa it’s “optional Practical training”. It’s for a limited duration after he graduates also the rules are sketchy if he Would be let back into the country if wants to travel home to see family . If the employer wants to continue his employment he has no choice but to go on H1b. And then H1b has its own requirements and problems with it. Try to understand a lot of people “abusing” the system have not other legal recourse to keep their lives going.
Architects often get mad when non-architects conflate the terms “modernism,” “postmodernism,” “Brutalism,” etc. They love telling people that, say, “Frank Gehry is actually REACTING to postmodernism.” These terminological disputes can obscure the fact that everything under discussion is actually just a minor variation on the same garbage.

I said it's not that easy, not that it's impossible. Also, H1-B transfer cost some money and involves lawyers, so some companies, like many startups, don't want to deal with that. The bottom line is that H1-B employees are at a disadvantage.

Now, that raises an interesting question I hadn't considered before. If you call a service that has an automated call recording consent message does that consent message imply that you are also allowed to record the call with no further notice, if you so choose? Both sides know that at least one recording is being produced by continuing the call; do additional recordings require additional consent? Has this ever actually been tested in court?

> A statement they keep making to placate anti-nuclear advocates but keep postponing and postponing. Because there's no way to reliably generate the majority of electricity using wind and solar, and only small parts of France are suitable for hydroelectricity.

This is really confusing. Me, nor France, said that they are going to go to 0% nuclear. In fact, I remember saying

> No they aren't going to 0% or even 50%

Maybe I should be more clear and say "Less than 50%".

So I'm confused because I'm reading your response as disagreeing what IS happening (decommissioning IS happening) and taking it to mean that ALL reactors are being proposed to be decommissioned. Which is definitely not true.

> Diversification doesn't matter for energy that comes from heat engines.

What? We've always had diversification. So does every other country. They also always have. Different energy sources have different advantages. It would be dumb not to use the one that has the most advantage for the specific situation. And of course there's the old saying "don't put all your eggs in one basket." But you seem to be disagreeing with this but also agreeing by saying

> Sure it's good build alternatives where it's cheaper

A big part is that France doesn't produce its own nuclear and so renewables do provide some self resilience. That does have some advantages, but obviously France does want to keep a mostly nuclear system (recycling is self resilience too).

> But the main draw of nuclear power is that its output entirely controllable.

Which this isn't really true. You CAN throttle nuclear but not infinitely and surely not like you can with coal or natural gas. France just sells the excess and this "throttles" a lot for them. It is very efficient.

> there's nothing wrong with powering a country entirely on nuclear power.

The issue is easier for France than other countries, simply because momentum. One thing you have to consider with building reactors is that they take longer to develop and build than other sources. Which I'll agree that we should have started yesterday, but let's be realistic. If you really believe this then you should also be a proponent of renewables because they are a better stop gap to a nuclear based system than coal and natural gas are.
I don’t think Figma winning is all that complicated. Designing for the web and mobile is more dynamic now. Designers are expected to show their ideas and produce interactive prototypes. No other design tool has the level of prototype control that Figma does.

Figma is very bad for illustration, but as the industry has killed off any semblance of art or technique this doesn’t matter. What does matter is producing something clickable and animated.

So Figma wins because it’s designed to solve the problem designers have now. Not 10 years ago like Sketch.
Additional question. How can separate platforms/apps take advantage of facebook data without degrading user privacy? Ex. If I wanted to communicate with my existing FB network, without exposing myself to FB.

Hmmm iirc, and don’t take this as medical advice and do your own research/consult your doctor, but in states of ketosis in high fat diet, cholesterol rises but primarily in the form of HDL (high-density lipoprotein) while LDL (low-density lipoprotein) level drop. For heart disease, LDL is the concern as it’s floaty and thus gets stuck and accumulates in arteries, while HDL is considered more “good/harmless” as it doesn’t do that.

I have heard that in a two-party state if one party says they are going to record the call the other party may record the call as well. I’ve also heard “This call may be recorded” interpreted as permission since it says “may” and not “might.” I’m not a lawyer and don’t know if any of this would fly, but it was interesting to me.
Also a fork, a broken pipe, a boot and I guess that's a log on the right.

A lot of the things you mention are pretty self-contained (you have to enable specific compiler flags), or they're implemented using the macro system or templates, and so in theory at least it's not bloating the compiler.

Compared to something like Haskell (GHC), I think Nim is pretty lightweight and not too bloated.
Multiple TCP connections might increase speed even to single source because of the following reasons:

1. TCP connection increases speed gradually over time until it hit some bandwidth limit. So if you open 10 connections, you'll hit that limit faster.

2. Rare packet drop will drop connection speed and it'll take some time to restore that speed on a given connection. With multiple simultaneous connections and rare drops only one or two connections will experience that speed drop, while other connections might even compensate that with increased speed.

So if your connection is flawless, it does not make sense. Otherwise it might make sense.
I'm not referring to a deep secret. This is well documented. Just search the Internet for H1-B "prevailing wage" loophole and you'll find some.

Because it's obviously and arrogantly aesthetically terrible. Architects, like the elites who commission and support their work, have a fundamentally adversarial relationship with the rest of us.

Funny, that the author shows two hospitals in Barcelona.
To answer the question, you definitely want to be in the "ugly" one.

For starters, the nice modernist building is not a hospital anymore. And partly due to the reason of architecture. While nice to look at, it was not terribly practical. Staircases between different wings meant that they had to transfer sometimes people with ambulance within the hospital. And sometimes even seconds matter.
People already complain about how media outlets won't write articles critical of their patrons, and now we want to make the problem worse by making everybody a patron?

$364 million at 3% interest is like $11m/year. That'd pay something like $100/month to each of the homeless people in a city where studios are closer to $2000/month. Not to mention the health and psych problems many of the homeless have.
I'm not convinced Apple will abandon x86 entirely. A lot of high-end Macbooks Pro are bought for software developers looking for Docker support, and that gets messier when you're developing for multiple architectures. (Then again, maybe it's a good thing if you like AWS Graviton.) The product that would benefit the most from ARM is the Macbook Air, so it's possible they just do that.
The Ketoers say this isn't a problem. That cholestorol is misunderstood, and high values are only bad if you eat high carbs. If your low carb then the high value is actually normal and healthy.

The political spectrum is a lot wider than most people realize in a US context. Generally when people use "left" and "right" without qualification they're describing shades of difference between what's essentially the same neocon/neolib party.

Trump's impact on the RNC seems to have checked if not eliminated the neocons (we'll see if that holds or expands).

Many hoped Sanders could have done the same with the DNC — shifted it away from neoliberalism - but it may take a few more losses (which, who knows, may never come).
Global signage, maybe, general communication and business will remain English
Yeah a lot of low carb diets replace sugar with super high cholesterol foods. It's not uncommon to hear keto influencers talking about how they can eat as much steak and bacon and cheese as they want.
Anecdotal, but the same happened to me. I later fixed it by running for 30 minutes 3x per week, and continue do to so to this day. LDL, HDL, Triglycerides, and blood pressure are all in the healthy ranges. 5.5 years and counting, with no "cheat" days either.
It also helps that a lot of the urban planning trends in vogue, like "tactical urbanism", resemble the "move fast/break things" fast experimentation ethos.

I’m not implying anything about the actual workers.

I’m mostly being suspicious of corporations that have over 50% of their staff as h1bs or off shore. I feel that’s probably set up that way for one of the common reasons in business ($$$$).

Just trying to learn how the math works out. I have no doubt Google is hiring the very best worldwide, but I have sincere suspicions that your average enterprise found a way to keep tech costs down by using these loopholes.

Also to your last point, this is something no one can prove. How am I going to prove that a company can hire that talent locally? They’ll just say they met with candidates and they weren’t up to snuff. You can’t prove anything in that situation, all you can really do is look at the numbers from a bird’s eye view and see that hey, over half your staff is world class rare talent apparently.
I think balance is most definitely the best for healthy individuals. But if we're talking about people with some metabolic/gastro-intestinal disorder then I think trying elimination diets is at least worth a shot.

Curious if they have any clearer definition of what they mean by “recently diagnosed.”

Based on the article, it looks like all patients were in their honeymoon period, which certainly makes for a substantial difference from what most would think of as remission - the difference between “clinical remission” and “clinical remission in very controlled circumstances while patients were still capable of producing some insulin.”

It’s pretty well known that LCHF reduces overall insulin requirements, and it’s not surprising that in new patients who are still capable of some production that LCHF would be enough to effectively lengthen the honeymoon period, but in any case I’d argue that the word remission is a pretty poor choice of words for describing the effect seen.

I’m completely unbiased. I voted for Trump in 2016. I think up until the pandemic he was probably going to win. The Democrats were deeply uninspiring except for Andrew Yang, and young people voted even less in 2020 than they did in 2016 which is why Bernie went down.

However after the pandemic and his complete lack of leadership over police brutality incidents and the BLM protests, he has turned off a lot of previous supporters and fired up a lot of unmotivated haters. I think it’s going to be a landslide Blue Wave.

To put in another way, if Trump wins again, the Dems need to dissolve the party and the liberals need to create a new party altogether. This is about as easy home run as it gets for them.
In my NZ accent I definitely say "men-shin" not "men-chin", though those two sounds are very close.

Something isn't adding up here, even in areas with high COL people are clamoring for jobs like that. I'm not saying it never happens, something just doesn't sound right.

Also, the vast majority of people on H1-Bs that I've worked with are quite... average. It's nothing against them, but I doubt they were blowing people away in the interview. Many of them do have better attitudes, though.

That's not to say that there aren't exceptional examples, or a given candidate was bad, but we absolutely could of hired some kid from university, or a mid-senior level from a US company. They just tend to have more demands.

It's not exactly a secret the main reason for the program, is to lower wages here. ie. keep the wages of nationals in check. Of course, you also get access to a better deal on labor, and people that want the job very badly.

I could be off base, but many of the people I've worked with on H1-Bs simply cause less political problems. It's not necessarily a cultural thing, as I'm including many different countries. They have the threat of deportation hanging over their head.

It's interesting that anti-fascists (the demonized "antifa" whose beliefs boil down to "Fascism has caused millions of innocent deaths and violent force is sometimes necessary to prevent its rise again") are labelled terrorists in America, whereas the police, who often employ what can only be described as actual domestic terrorism (unless you think playing a song associated with blackface in black neighborhoods at 4:00AM is entertaining), are labelled heroes.
