> Really? I mean like pretty much every instruction has separate source and destination addresses/registers, memory caches obviously complicate things, but it seems that processing data from one location to another is the most efficient operation.

I can't think of any algorithm where copying is faster than mutating.

* Chess Bitboards: Make / Unmake is a methodology for a reason.

* Mergesort: In-place mergesort is far faster than copy-merge sort. Its much harder to write in-place mergesort, but it really makes a big difference.

* Quicksort: In-place quicksort is faster than copy quicksort. Every "pure functional" recursive / copy quicksort has been... subpar... in my experience.

* C++11 created a "destructive move", the entire R-value references system, because of the hugely more efficient concept of destructive / mutating moves. Destroying the old data while copying the data to a new location (aka: std::move) is far more efficient than making a safe copy (aka: copy-constructor).

-------

Side note: The SIMD "Mergepath" Mergesort is absolutely brilliant. It uses absolutely no mutexes (and only uses thread-barriers) to guarantee that all writes are independent and correct. Furthermore, "Mergepath" mergesort parallelizes maximally (one-element per processor), while retaining O(n * log(n)) sort speeds.

Because thread-barriers are no-ops on a SIMD computer (like AVX512), the thread-barriers in the MergePath concept are maximally efficient. :-)

-------

What algorithms are you thinking of where copying is faster than mutating? At best, a copy ties mutation in speed. In a huge number of applications, mutation (aka: std::move) just faster.

But std::move cannot be done across multiple threads: that's innately thread-unsafe and must be synchronized (at least for typical objects).

---------------

Or maybe the above is too abstract? Lets go down to a very simple, but specific, algorithm. The Fisher-Yates (aka: Knuth) Shuffle.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher%E2%80%93Yates_shuffle

As far as I know, there is no copy-based algorithm that can beat the Knuth Shuffle's O(n) computation complexity. It is extremely difficult to write a O(n) speed shuffle without mutating the array in place.

The fastest "copy" methodologies for the Shuffle problem I've seen involved generating a random number for each location, then copy-sorting the results: O (n * log(n)), which is asymptotically more complex than the Fisher Yates shuffle (and therefore: work-inefficient. If you parallelize to O(n*log(n)), there will be a size where the Fisher Yates shuffle is faster).

Let's talk again when PayPal has cancelled your account.
I would argue there’s a third Western style. Typically served round; thicker, more sour crust; a very generous cheddar/jack/mozzarella blend; and modest amounts of sauce, compared to Chicago-style anyway. The crust is often dusted with cornmeal. Round Table (founded in Menlo Park!) epitomized this pizza, though I haven’t eaten there in years so I can’t say if they’ve kept any semblance of quality.

You’ll find it throughout the Southwest at many smaller chains. Dion’s is one regional I can vouch for. Two Boots in New York is probably the closest I ever found on the East Coast, but I didn’t look hard outside of the City.

It’s distinct to me from New York style because of the amount of cheese and the rise of the crust. The more topping-laden variants (“combo”) can require a knife and fork to eat, whereas a classic New York slice is designed to be eaten standing up and toppings are portioned accordingly.

Cyprus, Malta and Bulgaria have "citizenship for sale". The EU is fighting this back, rich investors buying their way into Schengen with no ties (or even residency requirements) to the countries they get passports from is very frowned upon.

Apart from that quite a lot of other EU members offer residency for investors, not ideal either but better than outright sales of passports.

If you aren't rich the rules for citizenship vary quite a bit between member states but they all require some years of residency and tax payments to qualify for citizenship.

Here in Sweden I'm going through the process and it's one of the most straightforward citizenship processes: live here for 5 years legally on a visa, pay your taxes and you qualify.

> "your Lord is responsible for everything around you." See how fallacious that sounds...?"

Of course it sounds fallacious--you've constructed a straw man out of my original argument.

There's nothing circular about the concept of debt. It's a fundamental aspect of how our economy works. The way debt is raised is through markets. Again, this is not a controversial or political statement.

Of course workers built the roads. And they were paid to build those roads by debt raised via bond markets. Governments and organizations use debt to bring the future into the present and amortize large investments over long periods of time. The liquidity and demand for this debt in the global markets allows them to do this.

No marketplace for debt = no way to reliably execute big infrastructure projects for all but the richest of countries. The market (the demand for debt) is literally the enabler.

Nothing I've said here is a mischaracterization of reality.

> It's a pretty shitty indicator, I'd say.

Again, I'm not advocating that short term financial market gyrations have any explanatory power for the future. I'm simply explaining why journalists use it: because it's easy.

My university in Germany uses this approach.

This form of testing is called "Open Books" or "Open Material". Before the pandemic we were allowed to bring our books and even handwritten sheets to the exam.

Hypersonic missiles have very poor terminal guidance it’s physics... all extra-atmospheric ballistic missiles are hypersonic and aren’t suitable for moving targets.

Hypersonic missiles have one advantage over ballistic missiles and that is that their flight path is much lower making detection harder but it doesn’t makes it easier to hit.

The US has experimented with hypersonic missiles in the 60’s and it became rather clear it wasn’t particularly worth it.

> French has always seemed to me to be the language of mathematics, reason, logic

For some reason I often find papers and thesis I read in French way more interesting, well thought and presented than most things I read in English. I have a few hypotheses on why I get this impression:

1) the publish or perish culture originated from the Anglo-Saxon world. Until recently the research written in the national language was kinda shielded from it. In Japan for instance, where the higher education is modeled upon the US one, master students are expected to publish at least a conference paper. In France students generally don’t publish anything.

2) the PhD thesis are written differently. Where I’m studying it’s basically slapping three papers together with an introduction and a conclusion. This sometimes leads to awkward thesis and shallow work. Thesis (and HDR) written in Europe are more like a very well structured monograph.

3) the way to use the language is different as well. In French, any intellectual written work will use long and complex sentences (sometimes to a fault) that are cramming few ideas and their relationships. In English the style is to write short sentences, with at most one idea each. I sometimes feel I have to dumb down my writing and splitting sentences while in my native language a Proust-like sentence would be more appropriate.
I agree that more comprehensive documentation is often necessary. But still, having GraphiQL that let's me discover all possible queries with their types and a small explanation for each field is a great win. I like that much better than for example generated swagger documentation. So how exactly is this a net loss? If anything it does not improve the situation - but making it worse?

> which still failed in basically everything from Vietnam onwards

Dropping bombs didn't fail in Vietnam. It succeeded. North Vietnam was defeated militarily. They only took over South Vietnam after the US Congress snatched defeat from the jaws of victory by withdrawing funding so the US troops had to leave.

> The claim that the US will beat any country isn't backed by any evidence. At all.

Certainly it is. Given a clear objective, the US military has achieved it in every case. The reasons that the US often fails to capitalize on such victories are political, not military.

> the Gulf War? Which just ended up leaving Saddam in power

Because removing Saddam from power was explicitly not a military objective in that war; the military objective was to drive Iraqi forces out of Kuwait, and that objective was met.

When the US decided it did want to remove Saddam from power, in the second Gulf War, it succeeded. Again, the reasons why the aftermath of that war became a debacle were political, not military.
"Although many of the women had been in the United States for only a short time and could not manage much English, they had already grasped the power of that most American form of expression: protest"

I think you’re mostly right. One thing about “nation building” though is that the US has only been successful (broadly defined) when we occupy the country completely, like a colony, for a generation and essentially administer their government for them for a long time. Now, there’s obviously a lot of warts involved in doing that but Germany, Japan, and South Korea are the last times we really went “all in” (South Korea is a much more murky example as you’ve pointed out). To be clear, Iraq and Afghanistan are very different for reasons that should be obvious (OEF 12-13, here), and while I’m not saying that treating those places like a colony would’ve worked better (I don’t think it would have, for enough reasons to fill a PhD thesis) it’s an interesting historical thought experiment.

Back to the actual topic, I share the skepticism of tech Uber alles expressed like others, and trying to predict the future of warfare is mostly a futile exercise. Probably best to index on flexibility and tight training regimens and make some informed inferences about how to structure the force.

You made a mistake. Mongolia invaded China. And they succeeded, back in the 1200s.

Then the Manchurians invaded China, and they also succeeded, back in the 1600s.

The key distinction here, is that the Mongolians and the Manchurians invaded China, and succeeded, only at their own peril, where they essentially subsumed themselves and their culture into the mainstream Chinese culture.

I think it's possible. There was a case back in September [1] where six "third-party sellers consultant" were charged with allegedly bribing up to ten Amazon employees to restore deleted items.

Of course, those people were caught and that goes against the "not detect this problem" part. But if you were to scale down this operation from 16 people down to just one or two, it seems like it could work.

It's all in the license(s). Make one that's fine for trials and other open source hackers, but draconian for proprietary commercialization, and another one for productization so that big corp pays you. That's it.

And if you don't care about the money aspect since open sourcing was never a way for you to make money anyway, then go with a single permissive license and be happy that your code gets widely used and hopefully contributed to.
