>don’t do the error of reducing the interaction to a vile matter of money

The most important thing I've learned from reading antirez's blog posts is a certain way of thinking about the labor market that I'm guessing is much more common in Italy (and maybe in France and Spain) than where I live (namely, the US).
Yes, if you assume that your keys are going to be arbitrarily long inputs.

I think it's typical that in the analysis of algorithms we often make simplifying assumptions that we don't always spell out explicitly (and probably we should). The assumption here (which IMHO is often practically sensible) was that there is a certain fixed set of all possible keys, e.g. from a bounded set of integers. In that case, hash tables indeed have constant-time operations no matter how many elements you have.

I think it's a bit similar to saying that e.g. Gauss elimination is O(n^3). This is only true for fixed-size numbers, e.g. floats or bounded integer types, not for arbitrary integers - in fact, the Gauss algorithm is incredibly bad for true, arbitrary-precision arithmetic. Nevertheless, the algorithm is incredibly useful, because the fixed-size assumption is often warranted - the most notable exceptions are probably from the realm of cryptography.
This was great. The exercises towards the end definitely taught me some new tricks. `git reflog` and `git bisect` weren't part of my git lexicon, but they absolutely will be now.
thanks for the good faith answer, this is reassuring and interesting.

there’s a long history, starting way back with Timothy Leary, of psychedelic drug promoters doing sloppy, dubious science.

but there’s also a growing orthodoxy in some circles around psychedelic drugs — any mention of possible long term negative effects really offends people.

anyway i am glad to see the botanical aspects are understood and accepted by people who aren’t also evangelists.
Im red green colorblind and have enchroma glasses. They work by reducing the other colors to balance with the reduced colors.

There are lots of reddish brown things that are actually red. I wear mine daily, but if I didnt, I wouldnt miss them.

With the glasses on I can see subtle red tints that I cant normally notice. For whatever reason it doesnt help much with green.

Reasons to Write a Programming Blog
Well sure. I would also assume that if we lived in a world where most people were wheelchair bound, people not in a wheelchair would be at a disadvantage.
I believe most countries allow making archival copies - either digital or physical, and sometimes both - of a whole publication of any sort. The fair use aspect of archival is the preservation of the contained information under the assumption that it won't see the light of day, except for if the person or party making the archive needs to reference it in some way (such as for writing a paper), or once the publication in question enters the public domain.

I'm not a lawyer, so check your local laws, but I know that such a thing has happened for the BBC's Doomsday programme in order to save it from laser disc rot, so one can only assume that this logic applies to other things.
Google's Android UI toolkit is slower than Chrome building UI from HTML, sadly. So it's not a clear win for native apps (unless the native app is using HTML for UI, I guess).

That said, I don't think PWAs have a good way to get background data updates, which is unfortunate for apps that could work offline. You can't do a silent push to update data, last I checked, anyway. (Use case: I want a weather app that has current/recent data without loading when I start the app, because I often start the app in dead zones; also I want to have it background fetch the data when my location changes).
I take your point, and I wouldn't want to read through reams of frivolity either - but there really wasn't anything like that in my example; it's 1 or 2 like saying "thanks", and then my example included all of the stuff you asked for.
I would love to see India government push for an open iPhone, giving people an option to have their app store if they choose to, and leave people want to stick with Apple AppStore the same as now.
You might want to spend a few more minutes on finding out what those actually do. Yes, of course they don't restore normal colour vision. They can't possibly work iff that's the goal.

Look at the frequency responses of cone cells in a human with normal colour vision: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_vision#/media/File:Cone-...

Those already have a very high overlap. A lot of people with red-green colour blindness still have those two types of cones working quite well individually, but the overlap is even more extreme. What these glasses do is filter out photons that fall in these overlapping regions. This amplifies the difference in responses from different cone cells.

I don't know about what marketing claims were made by that particular company. Maybe some were plain wrong; maybe they were correct but overhyped with a tendency to mislead. Maybe some of those YT videos aren't as ‘organic’ as they seem, but dramatic reenactments incentivised by some PR douche handing out free samples. All I know is that it's not implausible that someone is happy because they can finally tell grey from purple for the first time. I'd encourage interested consumers to check out other brands first, but no idea if those even exist in the consumer eyewear market. Maybe Enchroma are sitting on a patent? Anyway, try before you buy.

By the way, I would have been surprised if that Wikipedia article actually said ‘they can't possibly work‘. That's not the case — it contains a quote with that claim. It's cool to shorten a quotation to just the relevant parts, but please try to not invent ‘alternative facts‘ in the process.

> like a deaf person hearing for the first time

Yeah, definitely not. Once upon a time, my headphones and earphones failed simultaneously and I spent a couple of weeks listening to podcasts through busted earbuds, in shit quality, mostly one ear at a time. Then I got proper IEMs and finally could hear music again. In stereo. Experience all the instruments. That felt quite good. I guess it's more like that. Except it would be for the first time ever. I can see how that would prompt an emotional response.
Well, there used to be jokes about stupid women seeing non existent color differences and making big deal about them. As in women being crazy and their husbands rational having to deal with that.

> Tried vyvanse. Only one side effect. The deepest most profound sadness imaginable. Would sit for hours just “sad”. Nothing was bothering me. Worked fine aside from that. Gave it up after a few weeks.

Omg, I actually experience this very thing for myself. I thought I was unique in experiencing the "deepest most profound sadness imaginable" from Vyvanse. It's good to know it wasn't just me.

I did eventually connect the dots with Vyvanse, after taking it a bunch of times. I did several "test runs" where I took it some days, and not other days, and the deep sadness always and consistently occurred about 3-4 hours after taking Vyvanse.

Thankfully, Adderall doesn't have this horrible side effect.

> Aderral did remove most of the “pain” from boring things. So in that regards it taught me how to manage symptoms better. Focus is still a major problem, and I’m back to older trucks of ear plugs and a dim room. But not as bad as before.

I've read that exercise can go a long way in mitigating ADHD. I'm trying to now motivate myself to exercise -- which if I'm able to do would essentially solve the problem ADHD (at least partially), and create a positive feedback loop that could improve my life for the better in the long run.
Yet non-Americans do seem to enjoy being prosecuted for breaking USA laws. Looks like the USA has unilaterally decided that it is now the One World Government we've all been dying for. We should also prosecute China for breaking our federal minimum wage laws.
Essentially yea, if cruise ships used high quality fuel and always hooked up to a local power grid when docked many/most of the pollution issues would be significantly improved, at least for the local pollution induced problems.

However it seems to be very difficult to change the rules on shipping fuel, but some ports are starting to clamp down on cruise ships that don't hook up to the local grid.

Cruise ships are basically floating Vegases, they are never going to be exactly eco-friendly, but at their available sources of power are limited to those that are badly polluting, even if they use high quality fuel.

The only way to make cruise ships low carbon would be to make them nuclear powered, like an aircraft carrier. You can't really power them with renewable sources like you can with homes on land.

Domain expertise isn’t just a “force multiplier.” It makes you more likely to understand the problems and deliver useful solutions without someone telling you what to do step by step. Remember that failing to understand requirements is the most common cause of expensive software development mistakes.

Imagine two taxi drivers, both equally skilled at driving a car. One knows the city intimately, the other doesn’t. Which driver offers the most value, the most likely best route to your destination? Which driver can avoid traffic problems, or suggest a popular restaurant?

Domain expertise makes you more valuable to your employer, less replaceable. It also shows future employers you have some commitment to the business, not just in your own technical interests. It lets you contribute at different levels. There’s more to programming than writing code.

In my own work as a freelancer, domain expertise and taking an interest in the customer’s business, not just in their code base and technical problems, literally separates me from the hundreds of thousands of technically competent programmers who could do the work. And it helps me retain customers long-term, and get referral business, thereby reducing my need to constantly find new customers — a big non-billable and stressful drain for a lot of freelancers.

Split myself. Quarter of a 10mg pill (2-3mg) will either give me energy $ focus all day, put me to sleep, or give me the worst imaginable headache/partial blindness that takes days to recover from.

Was prescribed amatriptine for nerve damage. I had to get the lowest possible dosage, break pills into quarters. Even then it was still way too strong. ~1mg by my guess.

Doctors & pills straight up hate me.

They are almost impossible to tell apart in a lit sky.

When the sky is dark, red stars are very distinctive, I don't think even color blind people would have a problem. (I am color blind, but I confuse blue and green, not red and green.)

Both yellow and blue stars emit blueish and yellowish light, and are much harder to tell apart.

As an added bonus, red stars are the first to disappear against a lit sky :(

Title: The Case for Building a SETI Observatory on the Moon
See how the notion of resonance, which was the very essence of magic (e. G., two strings vibrating each other at a distance) was not adopted in science for 300 years. I suspect because of the magical association.

But then we take resonance scientifically seriously and we get wireless communication and other technologies that are absolutely magical.

And that’s fine. Companies don’t need to charge the same prices or have the same profit margins.

Should AWS have to sell at cost because Amazon uses it for a cheaper price than other retail websites?
I’d try to retrace my path through the research for you but I’m on mobile for the rest of the day. I got the anecdotal recommendations from Reddit and then was able to confirm everything on google scholar. So just search for “amphetamine + supplement” on scholar and it should be easy to find the relevant papers. I will say that a lot of them were animal studies but I seem to recall at least a few human trials in the mix.

> non-US persons don’t enjoy any of the rights of the US constitution

This is a very common misconception. In most cases, the Bill of Rights protects any person anywhere from the US government.

There's no mention of citizenship in the Bill of Rights, and the 1st Amendment forbids the federal government from "abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press." There's no geographic or citizenship qualification.

Interesting thing about people with deuteranomaly, is that in some situations we can utilize luminance and S-cone data better than most people with normal vision. That's how Ishihara hidden plates work (numbers that are visible only with color vision deficiency). But some normal trichromats can also read these hidden plates: https://jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2135713

In my little bit of searching, most people seem to be saying they like it (many a lot), and most of the dissenting opinions seem to be more about the very low key travel (0.7mm), which is merely something that the maglev keyboard made possible and more bearable, rather than something fundamental about magnetic switches or movements (whichever it is).

(I’ve never seen one of these keyboards or even heard of them before, and am thus speaking from an uninformed position.)
You have never had anyone initialize the max to MIN_INTEGER or something like that? I have made similar mistakes, but I've had to write these functions before, so I know better.

Not OP, but I believe some people with ADHD seem to be helped with Modafinil (Provigil). It is normally used for severe lethargy and narcolepsy but has been working for ADHD, too.
I'm not a medical doctor or researcher but a few months ago I thought about using surfactants to kill viruses inside the body. Others are thinking about it also: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7340033/

I thought, maybe there is a venn diagram here where a substance kills viruses, and the substance doesn't harm the host. In the intersection is something that could be medicine? What do you think?
I’ve never understood the aesthetic argument given the railways themselves — and indeed major roads — are something I find extremely ugly.
I do similar but using wireless headphones, to get on with other tasks without being so affected, or affecting other people.

Even then, I find myself semi-paralysed by the anticipation. It's hard to focus on something else, in case I don't notice the pick up and then they hang up. A callback would be much better.

Sometimes developers simply want to learn more about how the users use their creation. It might look like a waste of time to you, but it only is if you don't cooperate. Obviously there is something unexpected about using both A and B, so maybe just fixing the bug the way you envision is not the best approach. Maybe developer knows something you don't, or vice versa.

Diffspeak – Blindly Viewing Diffs
I don't know why you're downvoted, there's already screens currently in development that have precisely this. They should hit around late 2021 or early 22. There are SOHO routers in development that have this (Q1'21), and the 5G modem isn't even for your usage, its for the manufacturer to push/pull data. There's a side-by-side fridge/freezer that has this already on the market. There's a (commercial) coffee machine for installation in to offices that has this.
I was talking with my wife just last week about my hypothesis that there is probably a strong correlation between prescriptions for various performance enhancing drugs (such as Adderall and Ritalin) and the number of extracurricular activities that high school students are signed up for.
Yeah, magnetic levitation is the exact opposite of magnetic separation. Magnetic levitation switches are basically just linear switches that get harder to press the farther down they get.

Magnetic separation switches are the opposite: The force is strongest at the start but then gets weaker the farther down the key travel you go. Here's a force curve that I've measured for my 3D printable magnetic separation switch:

Domain knowledge is a meme designed to be a full employment act for boomers.
I agree, I don't fault them for taking the easy way, I do think it was wrong though. I created tools tools for converting debian packages into layers (in my research I stored these layers on a shared file system (either a multi-attach (in practice would need an fs that can have a single writer and multiple readers, which might simplify things) on a san or nfs.

But, debian packages aren't really made for this directly, as they have their pre/post install/remove scripts. My "hack" was to treat every package as an dpkg --unpack version (i.e. not configured) and then at image "build" time (i.e. each image is really a layer that is a manifest of dependent layers + data created at image build time), we would dpkg --configure --pending all the composed layers (with a bit of magic happening behind the scenes to make dpkg realize that the packages were unpacked but not configured yet).

This mostly worked well, but you could have some ordering issues. A bigger issue is because debian doesn't expect this to happen, it creates encryption at install time (say for ssh), not at first run time. So for example, if one created an ssh daemon image, any instance run from it would have the same key. not a great idea. Of course, its possible to engineer my way out of this (simple case would be to write tooling to recognize these cases and inject it into the created images), but it goes to why a direct conversion from debian packges into layer wasn't a silver bullet solution. I had the thought that perhaps an Ubuntu type approach would work, where some packages are wholesale imported from Debian into Unbutu without any changes but "important" packages ae modified to fit Ubuntu better could work.

As an aside, the 2 papers referenced above were my "job talk" for my post doc at IBM Research, and got me the job. I tried to get support to continue this line of work there, but that never happened (and then my manager left, and I was left working on unrelated cloud stuff for the last 1.5 years there). Of course, this is now important to IBM (see Red Hat purchase).

I wasn't approaching this from the pet/cattle metaphor, so I also gave my system the ability to upgrade instances in place by mark removeding layers as unlinked (i.e. ignored by readdir/lookup), and adding new layers. A big advantage here over traditional package management is that this made upgrades "atomic". For example, when you upgrade libc in the traditional package managed world, your system is temporarily "broken", in the sense that any executable that tries to run in between old libc removal and new libc installation will fail as its not on the file system. However, in the cattle world of containers, this is probably unnecessary complexity.
