I've gotten a lot of mileage out of the following two extensions to the linear allocator:

1. A "pop-to" operation. If you're ready to free ALL memory allocated at or after allocation X, you can do this by moving the start-of-free-space pointer back to the start of allocation X.

2. An end-of-free-space pointer, with its own push and pop-to operations.

In combination, these are often enough to get maximum value out of a fixed-size memory workspace. A function can allocate all returned data structures on one side of the workspace, and use the other side of the workspace for all temporary allocations. This approach does require tight coupling so there are a lot of settings where it clearly doesn't belong, but I've found it to be very effective for high-performance scientific code.
Understanding the origin of the pandemic is incredibly valuable. Continuing to moot about the possibility of lab origin in the absence of any positive evidence in favor of that hypothesis, that’s not terribly useful.
Apple's site is a bit contradictory on this. In another place it lists speaker features and it lists "Home theater with Apple TV 4K" as a feature of the full size HomePod but not the mini.

Inquiring minds want to know.
That's true, but I believe this incident was espionage, not an attack with destructive intention. Spies usually don't want your email server to stop working, because they'd lose access to your emails and you'd notice something is up.

The Bureau of Printing and Engraving prints money, but Federal Reserve Notes are in fact a claim on bank reserves. It's just when you deposit them at your bank you don't get reserves, they instead create a bank deposit for you and a liability for them and then add the reserves you just gave them to THEIR account.

I personally never used it, but worked for a company who at the time used EDB to migrate away from Oracle. They apparently had a tons of stored procedures and they mostly worked, but it is possible they didn't use any of the things you mentioned.

Anyway maybe I should say differently, maybe they don't provide most of the functionality, but their goal is provide database that can help to migrate away from Oracle, and this storage engine that appears to mimic one in Oracle (and I'm guessing has similar tradeoffs) fits that model.
That brings back memories (not good ones). Those twinax baluns (and the equally evil token ring type 1 to ethernet baluns) were awful to keep running. I guess in the short run it was less expensive than running new cable, but in the long run my feeling is the TCO probably wasn't worth waiting to bite the bullet.
It doesn't, it uses correct contextual capitalisation. "De" is the definite article in Dutch, and in a full name the correct capitalisation is written using lowercase ("Hans de Zwart").

However, when used in isolation it needs to be capitalised so as to differentiate it from "an incorrectly capitalised noun/adjective following the definite article".

If English had surnames that started with "the ...", the same rule would be applied, where "Jason the Bouvier" would be the correct full name spelling, but in isolated context, such as "According to The Bouvier, this policy has [...]", capitalisation should be used to make it clear that this is expressly not the definite article.
To get CPI up, why don't they just deposit money straight into ordinary people's bank accounts? I think that would do the trick.

Apple is consistently better on privacy, actually, than competitors. Not sure which competitors you are talking about or which issues/products, but you're way, way off-base. And for obvious reasons: Amazon and Google need to gather user data to survive because they don't make any profitable hardware. Apple doesn't need your data, plus, they have a real and honest commitment to privacy.

It's not even a close call, really.

I think in that case it was still a beneficial affect due to the marginal person in the study having a vitamin d deficiency and thus diminished immune response. Give them a proper dose of vitamin d and their immune system rebounds and pretty rapidly.
The last time I benchmarked it, Google indexed static html content in about a week and dynamic JS-published content often in about 3 weeks. Frameworks like Gatsby, Hugo, and Wordpress have one or more of 3 problems: too complex, too slow, or too vulnerable, partly because of their mass appeal. So for serious SEO gains we actually stay away from them.

This blog issue illustrates the too-complex problemof Gatsby - you don't find out about some minor configuration error until it gets indexed weeks later, and you lose substantial business due to the long feedback loop of SEO. Add to that the long compilation time, and you're looking for alternatives soon after investing massive resources in a setup.

Hugo had a different problem the last time we tried it. In a test setup we did, a small configuration issue spewed your entire server and configuration data to anyone who visits a 404 link. Any issue with the setup created the volcano of sensitive data vulnerability. Didn't take the time to dig in any further.

Wordpress is a behemoth, but because of that and slow hosting service providers it is incredibly slow to use on a hosted shared server, without caching. On top of that thousands of bots on the web are looking for and sending post requests to Wordpress admin files or php plugins (even if you're behind Cloudflare).

There are faster and more performant ways to SEO, especially if you can code.

You can literally buy a house by making a YouTube video now a days. It kinda is easy-peasy. Go look at all those TikTok stars. Your ancestors lived in caves be thankful you can even live in a house. It would be much harder to do that without Banks like the FED.

The problem is that you think you need to solve a grand problem instead of inventing something simple like a post-it note or a makeup tutorial. You seem to somehow believe that incumbents ALWAYS win. That is not true. Ingenuity with a superior product is what upends the market, shifts and creates new wealth.

I was thinking about this dedicated post, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21674610 but I think I saw it multiple times here over the years.

I don't quite know what to make of the WHO estimate. I can't find further details about it. I don't think it makes sense to take this estimate and try to extract an IFR from it. They could be suggesting that the IFR of the virus is much lower than expected, but they could also be suggesting that deaths have been badly undercounted (e.g. in areas with poor health infrastructure), or that it has spread more widely among younger populations in places like Africa, where IFR would be expected to be much lower.

Bhattacharya's estimate is being criticized because, even though he was taking a contrarian view on the virus and getting results that were out of wack with other lines of evidence, he rushed out a highly flawed study (the Santa Clara seroprevalence study). This came out when we had little data about antibody prevalence, his study was one of the first ones, and it had the big name of Stanford behind it, so it was reported very widely and misled an awful lot of people about how dangerous this virus is. In his position he should have been bending over backwards to make sure he was on sure footing and not misleading the public, and instead he let this paper full of basic mistakes go to press.

My apologies. While I don't see the name-calling towards an individual, my previous post did mention possible bad faith, and I would not been glad to have my post written about my code. I also slightly misunderstood what the author's code was doing. I can see how it is not conducive to helpful discussion.

The author optimized their code in a way that was fast enough, and fast enough to massively change the entire business process around their code. It's very commendable. Further optimizations may have not been worth it.

Bank reserves are strictly M0.

As for inflation -- it's a really slow system that we're looking at here, the inflation depends on where the money ends up, hence the stock market behaviour, but over time it will cause inflation elsewhere.

We look back at historical periods like Weimar, like 1929 as if they happened instantly. But to the people trapped within those moments, they happened day by day, slowly playing out. Irving Fisher is notorious not because he called an end to the crash in 1929, but because he repeatedly called an end to the stock market crash for the next two years.

It would take 3 years for the immediate effects triggered by the US crash in September 29 to play out, and arguably another 20 or more years for the longer term ones. The US money supply actually started shrinking 6 months before the crash as it happened. This is all just the beginning.

The pre-processing is typically worth it if you're searching through a large string, even just once.
Where are you seeing this? On the Apple site they list the 12 pro as being 146.7mm x 71.5mm whereas the 11 Pro was 144mm x 71.4 mm. That's a larger surface area than the 11 Pro, not smaller.

> allow the creation of a new FAT-32 image file of a specified length given a target directory [emphasis added]

I think that's your problem: file systems are supposed to go onto a preexisting block device, which you'll need to create seperately. For example, on my system:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foo.dos bs=512 count=128K
mkdosfs -F 32 /tmp/foo.dos

Once you've created the filesystem, fill it with:

mkdir /tmp/foo/
sudo mount -t msdos -o loop /tmp/foo.dos /tmp/foo/
# dump stuff into /tmp/foo/
sudo umount /tmp/foo.dos # or /tmp/foo/
# filesystem is in /tmp/foo.dos

Everything you say is correct as I understand things, but some elaboration is in order. "Printing money" is a factually inaccurate rhetorical term meant to emotionally manipulate people with visions of Zimbabwe or Weimar Germany, but fact is that under current law the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury can work in concert to add net financial assets to the private sector's aggregate balance sheet without new fiscal policy. For example while the Fed isn't buying public company equity directly yet, the bond market provides a transmission mechanism for a company to create otherwise worthless or at least discounted equity and sell it at face value to the Fed. Sure from a balance sheet perspective it all balances, because that's how bookkeeping works, but as a practical matter it means more money available to the private sector.

Using incrementing ballot numbers is fine. If you have multiple Proposers all sending the same ballot number in Phase 1 (Prepare & Promise) the Acceptors will reject any ballot number less than the highest ballot number they have received. In order to move to Phase 2, the Proposer needs to receive the thumbs up from a majority of the Acceptors, which means only one Proposer can ever win.

If you were to divide the ballot number space, in the event that the owner of the highest values in that space won, every other proposer would immediately need to increase their ballot numbers for all future rounds and so on and so forth or else they would always get rejected.
