this graph does not take into the account the massive geopolitical difference between ukraine and poland, especially considering poland had far more possibilities in regards to joining and integrating with western european economies compared to ukraine.

Don't forget that prior the collapse of the USSR, ukraine was not an independant country from russia, while poland has always been "independant" during socialist times.
Brand advertising is different. It is there to remind people about the brand. Companies do it because they have the analytics that show that it works.

It’s like saying that no one who works on reliability of the systems is willing to run experiment to throw 100% errors for a month, because running experiment like that may show that reliability of the systems doesn’t matter.

And then using data from a one system that went down and nothing happened as a proof that systems reliability doesn’t matter at all, and it’s huge scam by engineers.
Telsa is in an enviable position of selling most of their cars before they're produced. In that position, you don't really need to advertise much. They also get a lot of PR to keep up brand awareness.

If Hyundai couldn't keep Genesis vehicles on the dealer lots, they'd advertise them less too. Having a dealer network means dealers that want manufacturer support in advertising to keep dealers happy, even if the new cars sell themselves, dealers need to get people in to sell used cars.
The Intel Nuc and Mac mini are good examples of this - however the Nuc doesn’t have its psu inside, it’s a brick. Great for fixing failures, horrible in general as a built in psu is so much tidier.
Engaging random marketing consultants is a good way to waste money on ads.

However, anyone engineering for advertising from the start of your distribution plans should be able to measure these things. It’s not hard to track which signups came from ad clicks versus organic traffic. The problem is that most companies start out focused on their apps and simply assume advertising is a totally independent function that happens elsewhere in the company. Invest some time into including advertising as part of your signup process and it’s really not that difficult to track LTV of customers who signed up via ads.

In fact, that’s how Uber confirmed this fraud. They noticed that some of these fake customers were clicking on the ads and getting signed up within seconds, which is something only bots can pull off. If the customers you’re getting from ad signups aren’t actually spending money in the app, you should know about this from basic analytics.

Java Buffer types versus native arrays: which is faster? – Daniel Lemire's blog
I think the artificial shape example does not adequately show how variant types/pattern matching are actually used in languages like SML/F#/Haskell. It combines two different cases.

Suppose you have a type `colour` defined as `RGB(int, int, int) | HSL(int, int, int)` and then you add representation as CIE. Then having to update each match on a colour is absolutely a feature not a bug. If you miss some out then your code will be wrong.

On the other hand, suppose you have various ways of serialization (JSON/XML/s-expressions). In this case, it would probably be nice if you could add a way to serialize to e.g. protobufs without having to jump around your codebase and all its clients fixing type errors. But in most languages of the kind we're discussing, you can do! You just have to represent the different serialization methods in some way other than a variant type. For instance, in OCaml you could just use classes and inheritance (although in practice you probably wouldn't because the language provides nicer tools).
Nvidia Bans Reviewer for Concentrating on Rasterization Instead of Ray Tracing
Firstly, (for the uninitiated) Bluspec is both a Haskell DSL (Bluespec Classic) and a Verilog-like language (Bluespec SystemVerilog)

It compiles to Verilog, but the stack is much more integrated than other similar compile-to-verilog HDLs - the simulator is similar to verilator and much easier to get started with.

I'm kind of beginning to feel that Haskell isn't a good medium for HDL code - Verilog already encourages unreadable names like "mem_chk_sig_state" and Haskell code is almost unstructured to my eye (I like functional programming but it seems hard to keep it readable because of the style it imposes - the flow is there but the names are usually way too short for my taste)
It is a lie when they change the definition of TDP without telling you first and later redefined the word to different thing once they got caught.

Not sure why your comment has been downvoted. I couldn't agree more with you on your finding and the question follows naturally for someone not familiar with Linux desktops.

Others have meanwhile clarified that anti-aliasing wasn't enabled in the examples, which is easy enough to do and is in all production code. Not sure, whether the author had some retro-look effect in mind or just wanted to visually emphasize the examples (he sure succeeded in both).
> C compilers have to assume that pointers to memory locations can overlap, unless you mark them __restrict...

What I don't fully understand is: "GCC has the option -fstrict-aliasing which enables aliasing optimizations globally and expects you to ensure that nothing gets illegally aliased. This optimization is enabled for -O2 and -O3 I believe." (source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7298596)

Doesn't this mean that C++ programs compiled in release mode behave as if all pointers are marked with __restrict?
No, the F22 has much better capabilities than the F35, and many of them are kept secret.

The F22 is designed to be the 'Uber Alpha' of the Skies and to have no peer. It's made in the USA and is not sold to allies.

The F35 is a 'secondary 5th gen fighter. Cheaper, a little less stealthy, sometimes a little more purpose fit, designed to be exported to allies.

The packages on these planes are getting more and more powerful, and to some extent, they are mattering more and more to the point where the plane itself is less of what matters.

The need for supporting electronic warfare will only increase, even as the capability of individual units increases.

FYI - it's really hard to tell how much more powerful the F22 is because it's much more secret than F35, results are not always published, and they are full of assumptions about pretend scenarios.

For example, the stealth aspects are nebulous, small factors make a big difference, and radar systems are always improving.

Edit: missed the obvious and that is F22 is very specifically an early stage A2A focus role, not so much ground attack, whereas F35 will probably spend most of it's life in those kinds of roles. F22 is 'own the skies' F35 is then 'use the sky'.
> I has bosses that expected me to do things their way

This is a reason you need to learn to manage up.

I'm pretty clear that I'm oriented around the final objective: I don't want to be told how to do something (though I'm happy to collaborate and listen to suggestions). If someone starts telling me the "how" before the "what" and "why" I interrupt and steer the conversation there first. If you really want to be telling someone only the "how" I'm not the right person to employ, and I'm clear about this early on.

The very few times I've got in trouble with this there's been some hidden objective or constraint I wasn't made aware of, and the discussion I have afterwards is that is not compatible with my way of working. This has always resolved successfully and I've never had this issue with someone more than once.
Your viewpoint still dismisses one of the best categories of "time wasting"/"things that really matter": time spent socializing with friends and family.

There have been a few studies that were pointing out people in Southern Italy live very long and happy lives (I think happiness was self-reported), despite living in relative poverty compared to developed countries. Sun + healthy diets + lots and lots of intense social interactions with family and close friends.

>but you can also measure against SEO traffic with a high degree of certainty.

None of these benchmarks distinguish between the selection effect (clicks, purchases and downloads that are happening anyway) and the advertising effect (clicks, purchases and downloads that would not have happened without ads).

You can fix this by dividing the target group into two random cohorts in advance: one group sees the ad, the other does not. Designing the experiment thus excludes the effects of selection.

When you do this experiment correctly, you find out that ads have low effect or are not cost effective (as eBay discovered).
I like this idea of reaching the stars as a higher goal, partly because it (to me at least) clearly implies that we must treat each other non-destructively. Learning to improve oneself, and service to others in their growth and goals, bring real joy. I guess maybe it comes with the expansion of self and others in that way. Selfishness tears it down, like the story of the crabs in the heated water (or something like that), who prevent each other from exiting up & out.

And maybe those higher aims can serve as one's higher aspirations or guiding purpose, even in the absence of religious beliefs that one sees as actually true, and which lead one to be kind & honest, and to strive for competence in service to family and humanity. I suggested so in my own writings (at my site), but perhaps less eloquently than the parent comment.

My beliefs agree that the earth has a purpose, and also is a creation worth of our respectful stewardship, for high purposes. And that we can be OK and don't have to depopulate -- that there is enough, and to spare, to fulfill the higher purposes, which is comforting to know.

Instagram ads for millenials are like flies to honey in my anecdotal experience. So many of my peers buy their furniture, dress shoes, clothing, water bottles, watches, dog leashes, pretty much everything in their lives from seeing some like-aged person use that thing on an instagram ad (and the product usually being pretty cheap). It blows my mind how successful these dime a dozen drop shipping companies based on instagram are with millenials and gen z, and buying like this will only be more normalized in the future as more people know someone who got something nice from that instagram ad.

This is a great suggestion and I'll set up servers this way from now on rather than allow default fallback content to be served. Others are quick to point out this only fixes half the problem, well that's 50% more than nothing. For the other 50% you have control of your own DNS records, keep them up to date. And if everyone did this mismatching hostname/content would be a thing of the past.

The iPhone is a continuation of personal computing. It's been around longer than most people on this board have been alive.

I get this impulse, but I think OPs experiment really does have some redeeming qualities. While I certainly wouldn’t want to bean-count my time forever, I imagine that performing this exercise for some period of time would make one more thoughtful & intentional about how one spends their time. Sometimes you need the data to see that you’re spending way more time than you’d desire on social media, or not enough time with your friends, etc. I equate it to counting calories while dieting; doing it forever leads to horrible quality of life (imo), doing it for a month or two teaches you how much food you actually need and makes you more mindful about your consumption.

EDIT: Also, the point of this sort of exercise isn’t merely to ‘become more productive’ - it’s to gather data to help achieve whatever outcome you find valuable in your life. Maybe it’s studying more for his exams (certainly different than working more at your 9 to 5 bigco job fwiw), maybe it’s spending more quality time with family, etc. The point is collecting this sort of data doesn’t necessarily lead solely to optimizing your output under capitalism, it can be a tool for better living. I think.
Idle in that context is meant for things like waiting in line. There is another category for what you describe: chilling (3.49 days), plus there is certainly idle time folded into other activities, like travelling.
Such an attack cannot be hidden from detectors in the vincinity. There is far too much energy in the air for an antenna not to pick up on diffused and reflected emissions.

On the other hand a fine, grounded mesh will protect just fine against such attacks. Even in windows. Look up IEMI shielding.

Now taking these two together I think that it is possible that the embassy had both shielding and detectors. Because the attacks may have happened outside the shielding, and the detectors were inside to detect bugs.

This looks like a very significant disclosure on the businesses' part. Before COVID-19, there was no reason really to turn-off the ad spending just to see what happens (with some exceptions, such as Uber in the other article). I was surprised to see that the small businesses have experienced the same outcome as the large ones. It also looks like at least partially this seems to be coming from the mobile advertising. I wonder, how should we change our Ad placement strategy as a result of this data?

Related tip: anywhere you're looking to deploy compression in a backend, consider zstd (https://facebook.github.io/zstd/). I've found it suitable for streaming compression (Gbps+ flows without exorbitant CPU usage), storage compression (high compression ratios at higher levels; fast decompression), and found implementations available to every language I've needed. It comes out strictly better than gzip ~across the board in my experience, and should be the default compressor to choose or start evaluations from if you have no other constraints.

I don't think it's yet deployed in browsers, so I'm restricting my recommendation to tools and backends. IIRC brotli is worth considering for browsers, but I haven't deployed it myself.

This is exactly my thoughts. I'm still without children, and over the years I made my own little "cave" from where I can work, although my flat isn't exactly huge.

Some colleagues are not so lucky. Multiple young children, small flats, day-to-day logistics complications, significant others that are essential workers (as my wife, who is working extra shifts since this pandemonium started, and I don't have an idea what would I do if we had a child) or could not work from home... And same goes for business partners or clients. I don't even dare scrutinize them about what they are going through these days. Some of their loved ones may be impacted, or they are having a hard time by themselves, the least they need is me judging them because they have a needy kid.

I remember a couple of years ago I had an interview with a job candidate, online because some other circumstances (FYI he was hired and is a great chap). He was pretty anxious, I can hear and see that, and in the middle of the interview his six-month baby started crying. We could hear the wife trying to calm the baby down and seen him sweating peas. My senior colleague did the best thing at that moment, basically aborting the interview discussion altogether and started talking about children and parenting and so on. We offered the guy to take a break, but the baby calmed down soon enough, so we continued. I remember the relief I've seen when he realized we understand him and that we're on the same page. He became much more relaxed in the rest of the interview.
> Do you mean taking a cut from the transactions?

Yes.

> Also, if I gave myself 6 months of part time study, will that be enough to get proficiency to start working on real world projects?

Yes.

If you already know how to program it honestly won't take you that long. The bigger issue in DeFi and crypto in general is what to focus on. Here, all of your side projects can make money right out the gate without trying to look more legitimate than the next, but now some make more than others. The space moves extremely fast and other people's better ideas can be tempting to focus on.
How often does benchmark code have a function that takes two pointers that could potentially alias each other? If it's as rare as I think it is, it might not have that much of an impact on Rust's position in the benchmarks game.

Still, real world performance will probably benefit from this fix so it's a positive change regardless.

It's impossible to obtain reliable volume numbers since many exchanges either make them up or artificially inflate them with wash trading.
I'm just guessing:

Yellows mean you don't care about privacy (a big company doing legitimate business may not care), or have accepted that blockchain analysis will defeat your privacy efforts anyway (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Privacy), or you're a novice bitcoin user who doesn't understand what is safe and what is not

High frequency speculative trading could explain the pre-confirmation transactions. Maybe the probability of double-spending is so low, and the chain consensus is so strong, that a transaction in the mempool (before being locked into a block) is good with high probability. Or it could be novices who don't understand the danger

Definitely the Bitcoin network looks unusually "hot" today

Actually, she was denied tenure. At most universities, going up for tenure after 6 years is just part of the process, and it's fairly common for people to be denied. It's not like they singled her out.

I could imagine some sort of API based queuing - say you have 2 "slots" you can program stuff on so if you play 8 k video you can have on flashed to video decoder while the other one can speed up your kernel compilation. If you then want to also use FPGA accelerated denoising on some video you recently recorded, the OS will politely tell you to wait for one of the other apps using the available slots to terminate first.
shouldn't it be the university administration's job to find funding and allocate it? sure nobody can know the future, but people in positions of power should at least understand the potential results and implications of the projects they decide to terminate or support. researchers themselves shouldn't have to waste time essentially paying rent to a parasitic bureaucracy.
