> and it's the only C++ feature that has a runtime cost even if you don't use it – sometimes as additional hidden code at every object construction, destruction, and try block entry/exit, and always by limiting what the compiler's optimizer can do, often quite significantly.

C++ doesn't do "hidden code" - "if you don't use a feature you don't pay for it" is one of the bedrock principles of the language.

True. It must be said, however, that the Boost libraries are built using a peer-review system. So this is not some "random" C++ code.
> So don't use std::vector? Or std::unordered_map? Or std::string? These are all perfectly fine classes, banning them makes no sense at all.

Orthodox C++ bans exceptions, so if an allocation failure occurs within one of those classes, the only thing your program can do is abort.

That’s fine for some programs - Google’s C++ style guide takes this approach, as does LLVM. But for other programs, where aborting on allocation failure is not acceptable, there’s no way to use those classes without using exceptions.

The interesting thing about the Magnus effect is that the lift goes up with the second power of the radius of the rotor

Due to E = mv^2, doesn't the energy required to spin the rotor also go up with the square of the radius? Thus, the amount of energy is directly proportional to the amount of lift, so you don't get any magical quadratic gains for free like your post implies.

A few years ago I was lucky enough to visit the National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan. The Jade Cabbage was the headline attraction at the time. The thing that stood out the most to me was a tea cup. The date was ~1800. I was impressed by a 215 year old tea cup. Then I realized the date was 1800 bc. A 3800 year old cup!

I had a similar experience in Japan last year when I learned the same family has ruled for something like 1500 years and trace their history back 2600 years.

As an engineer touring Roman ruins and the museums, what was striking to me was how modern the Romans were.

For example, we toured Pompeii in early December and it was raining lightly. We got to see the rain systems in action--2000+ year old road grading and rain capturing systems (compluvium/impluvium/subfloor cistern) working as designed.

The Romans had water fountains on every block fed by pressure from the aqueduct, and they were all marked with different figures so that you effectively had a street address even if you were illiterate.

It was also quite stunning to me that the Romans worked glass, and it was common. That's just amazing to me given the temperatures and skill involved.

And, as people noticed, the art of the time was quite good. These food stalls are decorated with quite workable figures as they had to be--common people weren't literate. And the art in the better houses was actively good. The artists had working knowledge of their medium, tools and techniques--no crappy flat faces without depth and perspective here.

We are clever monkeys in any time.

I think one reason for the negative comments (speaking as someone trained as a Systems Engineer, with 10+ years of experience and now working as a Consultant and performing Systems Engineering occasionally) is that the majority of the "Engineerings" choose to quantify anything fuzzy in a certain way, and then state that it doesn't matter. For example, the human factor. Whereas the reason Systems Engineering is so abstract and high level is the assumption that those unquantifiable factors have to be accounted for in "boxes and arrows", regardless of the fact that they can't be quantitatively engineered.... And many can't handle the fact that these things can't be quantitatively engineered [Edit to add the statement post ellipses]

I certainly don't think this is the craziest proposal I've ever heard. Netflix, for example, is quite transparent that they have a "hire and fire" culture, and I for one wish that many tech companies would be more willing to have open, honest conversations with their employees and ensure everyone is up to whatever bar they set. I've seen it become incredibly demoralizing for the rest of the team when subpar performers don't get let go, and I've also seen rather disingenuous uses of "layoffs" as an excuse to finally cut people who should have been cut long ago.

Still, there are practicalities that can make "hire fast, fire fast" difficult in the real world. First, many countries outside the US have much more onerous requirements to fire someone. Even in the US, it's quite trivial for any employee to take legal action if they think they've been let go unfairly, so most HR departments will require many months of detailed documentation (e.g. email conversation, performance reviews, PIPs) before someone can be let go.

> The priority is always compromise and getting along.

I’m struggling to see when this wouldn’t be the case in any form of modern conflict management.

As far as to how you deal with weak leadership leading to design by committee? You probably don’t, unless it’s your job to do so.

There isn’t really a lot of literature on this subject aimed at employees trying to lead up-wards, but any sort of team-management literature will cover it.

There is a big difference between conflict management, and leading a team in a design process though. They really don’t relate on any level. If “you’re” entering design by committee, then “you’re” not using “your” resources correctly, “you’re” not defining the direction or goal and “you’re” not making decisions. Note that “you” is the person in charge and this persons manager, but there is typically very little people, who are not in charge can do, to successfully change that. Conflict by contrast is how you resolve disagreements, and in interpersonal conflict you’ll always want to seek compromise and figuring out how to get along. In design processes, you’ll want a team leader to take charge and pick whatever input is most likely to achieve the projects goals.

I wouldn’t worry about conflict though. It’s a natural part of life. Be honest and be assertive but be polite and pick your battles wisely. If whatever it is that is being mismanaged isn’t actually your responsibility, then you don’t actually have to care. Even if you can’t change your job right now, it’ll be healthier for you, if you stay true to yourself and don’t carry any weight they don’t pay you to carry.
>In a buyers market. With the small block size, bitcoin is a seller's (miner's) market and refusing to upgrade preserves their market power - hence the tragedy of the commons.

The produced good (SHA256 hashes and the transferable UTXO set of bitcoin nodes) is an excludable, rivalrous good. Hence it doesn't suffers from tragedy of the commons problems. This is the foundation of excludability in economics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excludability

"seller's" or "buyer's" "markets" are weak concepts that don't control which goods are produced. If an agent market sells or market buys that doesn't dictate which goods are produced.

Again, no amount of production nor no amount of consumption can get a consumer or producer to shift their consumption or production to a good they do not want.

California isn’t an independent country, so it can’t just adopt arbitrary solutions from other countries.

Even if it could, there is an assumption you are making that you can identify what ‘solutions’ led to particular results and can simply adopt them.

That certainly doesn’t seem to be a valid assumption about how governance works globally.

Also ‘California’ isn’t a person. ‘It’ can’t compare itself to anything.

Individual Californians can make whatever comparisons they like, and so can politicans and other leaders.

Do you have something to offer about what they might want to look at that would help them?

Do you even have an understanding of the problems? It seems like not everyone would agree on what they are.

Otherwise it just seems like your position is essentially just a claim that because there is another country that you think is run better, there are some ideas that you don’t actually understand yourself, that could help.

Edit: you added a paragraph to your comment after I posted my reply.

Please don’t do this as it can look like you are trying to change the context of the reply, which would be a dishonest move.

You added > I believe the size of New Zealand is not a reason to ridicule any comparison (zepto’s original answer “argued” that the size of NZ matters, which I feel is an evasion)

You say you ‘feel’ it’s an ‘evasion’ which is a way of dismissing this comment without addressing it.

If you think the comparison is valid then why not tell us what could California or the US adopt from NZ that would make things better?

If you don’t know, then what’s the point of the comparison, other than a kind of vague nationalism?

Edit 2: oh - I see you have changed a whole bunch of things about your earlier comments to make it look as though you made points that I failed to respond to.

You are completely intellectually dishonest and as such have nothing to offer to political discourse about corruption.

I think you missed the "when correctly used" part. Clearly, the person who hit you was not correctly using the system which places the whole responsibility of this situation onto them. When obeying all rules of the road, situations where rear-ending someone is probable should not arise.

> I was stationary in a traffic jam when I was rear-ended by the car in back of me. Fortunately, I was not hurt at all.

I believe yholio's statement about "when correctly used" was meant to be "when correctly used by all participants"; i.e., no single participant can guarantee their own, or anyone else's, safety, no matter how careful they are.

On the other hand, the guarantee is, as yholio notes, of an almost entirely theoretical nature even given universal cooperation:

> The safety guarantees work only when humans demonstrate almost super-human regard to the safety of others, are never inattentive, tired, in a hurry or influenced by substances or medical conditions etc.

I'm glad you did, thank you for that!

Unbiased Sinkhorn is fancier than Chamfer, but who knows if it's better or not for this use case. Starting from a much higher learning rate did speed up convergence, though.

Re point cloud distance, there's lots of good stuff referenced in the GeomLoss documentation: https://www.kernel-operations.io/geomloss/api/geomloss.html , for example the author's GTTI 2019 slides are an excellent overview.
