An interesting side effect is that naive use of std::vector::reserve can turn an O(N) algorithm into O(N^2). If you just do push_back() N times, it's guaranteed O(N). If you have a function that inserts 10 elements, and prefix it with reserve(v.size() + 10), then it will only reserve ten more slots - if you keep calling it, the result is O(N^2).

I know a guy who works on oil tankers and he was doing a gig in Africa. As he told it, basically every port there has a deal where you have to smuggle oil or stuff for them and tricks to get through standard inspections etc., etc.

So a new captain comes on board and first port they get in he refuses to do this - they refuse to let them in the port - they were out at sea without resupply 20 days and running out of food... the company had to fly in a different captain to relieve this guy and he told me by day 2 weeks in they were already joking around how the captain could have an accident ...
The milkman and plumber aren't in the business of spying on me and selling that information to people that will use it to harm me.

The deal with google is their spying goes beyond any business relationship.
They sure do at Harvard or MIT. That’s the point.
Interesting, but it was native Flash and second-person perspective.
Yes, this is very similiar. We used it extensively to build IHP Cloud [0] where we have a lot of async background processing. AutoRefresh allows the view to be updated automatically when e.g. the deployment status changes without us writing any app-specific JS code. It's takes only a single line of haskell code, so it's implemented in seconds and then really just works :)

Would we have to use AJAX polling for that or would need to write Websocket Code manually, we'd need to spend way more time on that.

Inside the System on a Chip of your smarthphone
How is it not hypocritical to argue for equality and wealth redistribution and at the same time hoard wealth for yourself ?
At first this didn’t make much sense to me as the incentive to protect the official is still there — you’re getting something you want, so why ruin it? But reading the abstract it’s referring to a specific kind of a bribe — where you have to pay to get something you’re entitled to anyway (under a threat of unnecessary delays for example). I doubt it would have much of an effect on another kind of bribe where there’s discretion and you’re getting something you might not otherwise get at all (as is the case in the article).
> What makes India so unique

The sheer population in competition I guess, gaming the system is almost always the way to win. This is true everywhere but more pronounced in India, because we have very large number of people very eager to game the process. Maybe it's a culture thing, or just the effect of competition and FOMO, idk. (The coaching mania so fierce in North is less aggressive in South)

When I was studying K-12 or PUC or whatever it's called, Byju's (the company that acquired WJR) was doing most aggressive promotions. There were a few similar education startups putting genuine effort but way less aggressive promotion. I liked the content of one of those startups called Toppr. I never went to purchase anything, tbh (I was a rural student), but the quality doesn't necessarily win.

The entire coaching ecosystem is also like this. They teach lot of formulae and shortcuts. These years success in IIT-JEE is a combination of super hard work and having access to highly expensive coaching material. (Tbh, as a rural student, I dropped the dreams of getting into one of these "good" institutes halfway because of this).

Whitehat JR is just misusing FOMO of urban Indian parents. I don't think pushing programming on children of 7-8 years is worth it. Instead it needs to be properly taught at high-school level.
I disagree with that perspective.

So far, hyperlinks have not gone away.

But which style of concatenation of words is surely subjective. I would have thought that FooBar -> foo-bar was the ad-hoc standard, but even then, people handle corner cases differently, such as “what if the word you’re url-ifying contains a dash?”
you'd clearly have to compare this to a whole cluster. I'd expect this to win big for algorithms that are bound by communication overhead where scaling beyond a certain number of GPUs is not giving any additional benefit. fixed grid weather simulations come to mind. since such systems, including power and cooling, are in the millions also, there might be a market for this.
The company doesn’t want you to not pay bribes — they just want to be able to say that they told you not to if you get caught.
Sure, if you're a Musk or a Thiel, and your preferred housing is a compound with a rooftop golf course, waterfront access, and a submarine dock, it's not clear what you were ever doing in SF in the first place. Go buy a walled compound in Atherton, which has a minimal acreage requirement on lots and a prohibition on rentals, and rub shoulders with Steph Curry and Meg Whitman.

SF, for all its wealth, is a mid-tier provincial city with a hidebound city government and a population of residents that are much closer to Staten Island in their outlook than they are to Barcelona. SF has fewer people in it than Columbus does. Its geographical limitations don't really leave a lot of room for a district of opulent mansions (except Sea Cliff, which is pretty small). It is not at all surprising that people who want to live like Dubai princes and never run into the disgruntled rabble would move away.
And society becomes lower-trust, putting the nation on a path to destruction. Sad that it's taken so lightly.
So far all you've done is say "I already showed you" for everything, instead of showing me anything. Except that accordion nightmare keyboard. You keep making assertions then when called on it resort to personal attacks. I specifically retorted to your muscle-memory quote with your own quote about the 11/12ths of effort, and apparently you didn't appreciate what you had to say for yourself. Your rhetoric is much better than your grasp of facts.
My comment was based on my personal experience when I worked at Google. I'm mainly an embedded software engineer, though, so I tend to get pinged for more niche projects. Google does internal interviews as well, at least when hopping between letters of the "Alphabet".

When I interviewed, one or two of the questions were stereotypical "reverse the string in Pig Latin while solving tic-tac-toe" or whatever. Most of the questions were directly relevant to real-time safety-critical embedded systems stuff though.

At some point while I was there, Google did some viral marketing leetcode foobar challenge recruiting thing. If you searched for certain keywords, your web browser would do a fancy 3D zoom effect and then give you coding challenges. I did some of them for a couple hours one time. Some of them were tricky word problems, but algorithmically none of them were particularly difficult. The only one I remember had maybe 5 paragraphs of text, and my solution was literally one line of python.
And if you google "origin youtube" you get some series, but the Wikipedia page says:

the original idea for YouTube was a video version of an online dating service, and had been influenced by the website Hot or Not. They created posts on Craigslist asking attractive females to upload videos of themselves to YouTube in exchange for a $100 reward. Difficulty in finding enough dating videos led to a change of plans, with the site's founders deciding to accept uploads of any type of video.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube#History
unless one can prove that there is something special about being on HN that makes a person intrinsically different than other consumers I don't think this is a reasonable conclusion. It may be that this can be proven but I would like to see the proof.

If someone posts on a crafting forum, complains about youtube being broken is the conclusion that they are not the customer that most companies are targeting?

or any number of other fora, I doubt the predictor of a single interest is enough to differentiate the person so significantly.
Providing a service is not "servitude" in the context of 'slavery'.

As for working as an alternative to starving, as
Frédéric Bastiat wrote 170 years ago:

"Man recoils from trouble, from suffering; and yet he is condemned by nature to the suffering of privation, if he does not take the trouble to work. He has to choose, then, between these two evils. What means can he adopt to avoid both? There remains now, and there will remain, only one way, which is, to enjoy the labor of others. Such a course of conduct prevents the trouble and the satisfaction from preserving their natural proportion, and causes all the trouble to become the lot of one set of persons, and all the satisfaction that of another. This is the origin of slavery and of plunder, whatever its form may be - whether that of wars, imposition, violence, restrictions, frauds, etc. - monstrous abuses, but consistent with the thought which has given them birth. Oppressors should be detested and resisted - they can hardly be called absurd."
In The Netherlands it's kind of the same I think. Politicians often end up with very lucrative private sector jobs at the end of their political careers. No doubt at least part of the jobs granted is payment for services rendered and part to get access to a political party.

In the EU it's the same situation as well. I mean this situation [0] with Neelie Kroes is quite suspect as well, isn't it?

>Taxi app Uber, which continues to battle regulatory clamp downs and legal confrontations in Europe, has appointed a former VP of the European Union’s executive arm, the European Commission, to its public policy advisory board as it looks to grease the gearbox of its regional fortunes.

The ex-VP in question, former digital agenda commissioner Neelie Kroes — who stepped down from her role in the European Union’s executive body in November 2014, after serving a five-year term in digital policy (and some 10 years in all as a European Commissioner) — was a vocal supporter of Uber during her time in post.

Prior to leaving office in 2014, for example, Kroes loudly condemned a ban of Uber in Belgium, publicly proclaiming that “Uber is 100% welcome in Brussels and everywhere else as far as I am concerned.”

I believe this kind of corruption is endemic in the Western world. For most "normal" voters this kind of corruption is quite invisible I believe, in contrast to people being payed directly a suitcase of money.

Eventually yes, but mining isn’t a “waste” of electricity any more than any electricity used for any essential service is. Isn’t all electricity effectively wasted if the same service can be offered for less electricity? Ethereum (and bitcoin) provide a service, and that service is protected using electricity.
I see ads all the time, in-app, which is where they have moved. Is there an easy way to block them too? I guess not because they securely get delivered right into the app along with rest of the content.
I used to jailbreak. I now use Android.

When I did jailbreak, it was never about apps and rarely about high-level features (I did use NC settings before that was an official thing, and I installed a torrent client and some emulators, I think).

I jailbroke because I wanted to have access to a local terminal and write and execute arbitrary code on the phone - nothing major, mostly small bash and Python scripts and some C code when I was learning how to program.

It was also a philosophical thing: I want to have full ownership over my phone, whether I need that on a day-to-day basis or not.

I moved to Android when iOS jailbreaks started to become rarer and slower to appear, and more and more jailbreaks started to be tethered-only. There are only so many hoops I am willing to jump through when I can instead buy an Android phone that officially supports unlocking the bootloader and rooting it.

No they haven't. The top income tax rate has decreased, but other trends have counter-acted the effect of that decrease, like:

* all brackets creeping down due to inflation

* all brackets creeping down as a share of average income through the average income increase without a proportional raising of the bracket thresholds

* the closing of tax loopholes.

The result is that the effective tax rate for the wealthiest has barely decreased from the 1950s: https://files.taxfoundation.org/20170804133536/Average-Effec...

And this only covers reportable income. The cash economy was much more significant in the 1950s, so a lot of income could escape the gaze of the state.

>>the wealthy are paying for less of it then they did before the 70's.

No, the wealthy contribute a larger share of it than ever before.

Anyway, you're only focusing on tax rates on the top 1%, while ignoring every other factor, including major structural properties of an economy like what percentage of GDP is mandatorily redistributed by the state for social welfare programs, that would determine whether an economy is classified as economically liberal or social democratic.
Just as a data point, I have a car designer friend who absolutely loved drawing in Flash. He said he found the drawing tools really intuitive. At the studio we worked for, he used a StudioMax plugin to export model imagery and animations to SWF and would polish things from there.

Also IMO the AA used in Adobe software was pretty impressive, at least in the early 00s.

Curious to know how does that work -- is it because while the individual spatial cells can be divided up and worked on in parallel by separate GPUs, you lose a lot of cycles bringing the result back together to calculate the inter-cell interactions and then dividing it up again?

Honestly, I really do love it. I've used plenty of other editors on CP/M and now that I've got used to ED I just don't find them as quick or often as powerful as ED. That doesn't mean that they don't have extra features that can be useful, but considering how little I use those extra features I think ED comes out in front for me. I think the accompanying video demonstrates quite well how easy it is to use.

Just to riff on this idea, despite inevitable pushback:

Bitcoin's proof-of-work is basically a conversion of energy directly into money. This pushes competition towards cheaper and cheaper sources of energy. First it's finding jurisdictions that subsidize it, then it's creating your own cheaper energy sources. Proof-of-work incentivizes cheap & renewable energy investment.

The penultimate phase is custom off-grid mining farms that power themselves via their own renewables. The endgame is that all energy companies will primarily be Bitcoin mining companies, feeding their excess renewable energy into the grid to power homes, etc.

Plugin hybrids in new emissions scandal: test show higher pollution than claimed
I'm very familiar with the perverse outcomes that emanate from profit-driven medical research, having been personally affected by illnesses that the mainstream medical science community sees no incentive to invest in.

But the reasons and ethics of the system being the way it is are separate from the reality of what it is for the purposes of getting things done in the here and now.

For better or worse, as things stand right now, pharmaceutical companies, like other companies, need to make profits - or at the very least avoid crippling losses - in order to survive and continue doing their work.

That includes covering the formidable costs of the many research studies that go nowhere and yield no revenues.

I'm sure you wouldn't find a single person in a pharmaceutical company who would feel good about withholding treatment from any person with a life threatening illness. But what they also have to care about is remaining in business so they can treat and cure many more people with serious illnesses.
I'd rather skip a meal than eat fish. In fact the last time I ate fish was 22 years ago during my compulsory military service which I still have nightmares of (but not because of the fish).

It's not clear to me what happens after the OOM. Does the init process restarts the daemon? I would argue that it shouldn't.

If the process stops responding to a healthcheck, it's the scheduler's responsibility (k8s in this case) to handle it. Crashes in this case should be handled in a similar way, whether it's due to OOM or a bug.

Maybe I'm missing another scenario here?

Yeah it does lack merit. It's hideous. Why don't you do a tiny bit of research into the costs of such a thing, and also factor in that it's been around for 140 years and never caught on.
It doesn't work without dedicated effort actually, for most people. You need to train the technique.

In my experience, Mutation Observers can be very punishing in terms of performance if you have large DOM structures, especially on page load.

On the other hand, if you have an SPA[0] that renders as little as possible, I'd say, go wild :)

There could be a confounding factor here. People who got the lower doses also got less severe reactions. So they may have guessed they got the placebo and consequently were more careful to not contract covid-19. Whereas, the full dose caused more obvious reactions, which made it clear the participant didn’t get the placebo. As a result, they went out to party.
