Yes, I agree, you can implement a doubly-linked list in Rust exactly as you can in C, with the same precise control.

You can even implement intrusive collections: https://docs.rs/intrusive-collections/

Unsafe is a normal part of the language, and how you manually implement precise control behind a safe reusable abstraction whose correct use can be verified by the compiler.

Do you have any examples of precise control you can express in C, but can't express in Rust?
> That's a savings of something like 10% over the whole dataset.

Sorry, I'm probably misunderstanding you - I'm not sure about that "10%", what does it it refer to?

Anyway, I do like a lot in Clickhouse to be able to chain codecs (I personally like to think about "Delta/DoubleDelta/Gorilla/T64 codecs" being "encodings" and the "general purpose codecs LZ4/LZ4HC/ZSTD" being "compression codecs").

I don't have a good math background => about Delta & DoubleDelta I liked this explanation ( https://altinity.com/blog/2019/7/new-encodings-to-improve-cl... ) which defines "delta" as tracking "distance" and "doubledelta" tracking "acceleration" between consecutive column values.

In the end I tested, using relatively small datasets (which were different between usecases), all combinations of encodings (delta/doubledelta/gorilla/t64) and ZSTD-compression levels (mostly 1/3/9) (I ignored LZ4*).

- "Delta"&"DoubleDelta" were often interesting (but in general for my data using "Delta"+ZSTD was already good enough compared to the rest).

- "Gorilla" somehow never gave me any benefits if compared to other codecs and/or compression algos.

- "T64" is a bit a mistery for me, anyway in some tests it delivered excellent results compared to the other combinations, therefore I'm currently using just T64 for some columns, and for some other columns as T64+ZSTD(9).

EDIT: sorry, I think I got it - you probably meant something like "just by doing that on that specific column, the overall storage needs were reduced by 10% for the whole dataset", right?
Read the whole entry, please?

Getting families and children interested in science and engineering is one of the most important imperatives for any nation that wants to invest in its future.

I think this is more a problem with developers working in Chrome and using Blink-specific features. I stopped having compatibility issues with my apps when I moved to Firefox years ago.

"Using involuntary web sites as storage dumps seems counterintuitive if the main goal of the network is data persistence and availability, since replicas are promptly re- moved when site administrators and moderators discover them. The Graffiti model overcomes this challenge and takes advantage of “free network storage” through a mas- sive replication and obfuscation process."

They buried this nugget in section 3.3 ;)

tldr; Graffiti forces clients to replicate the files they download to as many "storage sites" as possible. It does this to insure long term availability.

A bit further down in the same 3.3 section, it finally dawns on this slow one :) why it is called Graffiti:

"[M]any sites, such as wikis and message boards, often display the network location of the user responsible for adding new content or making changes to their pages, which makes it difficult to deny responsibility for participating in illegal activities. We argue that by fracturing a fileset’s replicas across hundreds of storage sites, it is difficult to be fully implicated when only a fraction of the evidence is available."

> especially in light of a dozen effective vaccines (and more in the pipeline)

The US doesn't even have modern healthcare. There's no point of developing new vaccines if we're using the market—you know for sure it's going to go to fewer people than it should. For-profit medical research is fundamentally a death cult.
Is this just a hypothetical or is there evidence of this taking place?
This is very nice idea. Glad you find a model to make this a viable business.

I wonder in the long run how do you decide what data/vis to publish? People care a lot about trendy topics, e.g. mars rover now, GME short squeeze a few weeks back and wildfires last year. But those are short-lived, which might not be as profitable as things like COVID and election?
Energy trading isn't too different from other commodities, though it tends to be way more volatile. Most of the contracts are handled through ISOs (independent system operators) who handle specific regions, so it's not easy for a retail trader to get in on.

Overall it breaks into daily and long term contracts. Daily options typically trade hourly and cover generation and transportation (wheeling) costs. Long term plays are usually about securing rights at specific plants.

Personally, in a situation like this, I'd recommend taking transmission contracts on NG. Most of the Texas grid runs on it and the pricing is more stable than anything else. Also, in the event that a well head freezes up or the pressure drops, you can still get paid - or at least that's how it used to work.
Generally, if you edit a post/comment mark it as edited with a note as to context. e.g. * edit - fixed spelling. etc. This seems to be the norm I see and I have followed here.

Personally, I'll edit a comment if no one has already commented or voted on my post, if someone has commented or voted then I'll add a reply to my own comment with clarification instead of editing, and only if it is truly necessary for clarification.
This sounds like you didn't look up and read the comment in question. Problems with cross-platform webviews stopped being the HTML/CSS/JS layer long ago; it's integration, availability, and rate-of-updates that are common blockers.

"We had seen considerable growth in residential and commercial heat pumps. At colder temperature these units stop producing heat efficiently and switch to resistance heating which causes a spike in demand."

That was my first thought on hearing about Texas' problems. Air source heat pumps don't like cold temperatures outside---I've noticed ours here hitting the resistance heat when the outside temps were in the 20Fs and the indoor setting was 65F. With the population growth and all of the infrastructure using air-sourced pumps (once we got rid of the swamp cooler), cold temperatures mean a step change in energy usage.

Except that the faults had occurred a number of times regionally in the last decade, and nothing had been done about it. Possibly an investment problem but some of the fixes (lubricant heaters) are not expensive; I would guess a general culture of 'no one told me it could happen', i.e. limited depth of experience in the utility company.

There's also some opinion that advocates having self-reliant communication channels and tech-platforms.

Recent banning of Trump, Parler and Australian news from Facebook invigorated their drive.
Yes. Some common ones:
1) Being back in school, missing an exam or test.
2) My car is out of control: won't stop going backwards, accelerates uncontrollably, etc.
3) Finding secret / "extra" rooms in my house.
4) Most recently with covid: being in a store, and realized I've forgotten my mask.

There are definitely other themes but these are the most common.
Plus, Texas always has a big target on its back. It's a large, red, opinionated state with a decent economy and growing population. Any time there's an opportunity to knock it down a few pegs everyone on the other team is going to do so.
The interest rate on the loan was 3.5%. Long term capital gains in the US are typically 15% (short term 30%), so using a CDP can save a lot of money depending on the tax laws that apply to you.

I don’t know why everyone here is talking about dollars, while there is zero dollars involved all the time. The author did not put in any dollars, but his ETH, which he has plenty, since he created the Ethereum thingy. That may be a large part of the answer why no one “exploited” that hole: most people would have to put real dollars in, expose themselves to all kinds of crypto gymnastics, and end up with ETH, which may or may not be convertible to real dollars where they live. And, yes, they would also have the always pleasant exposure to tax authority now (which may or may not be solvable, depending on the place of Earth one happens to live at).
I don't think you're wrong...

but I do find this whole discussion strange, because it's rather obviously the same problem that open-source _anything_ has: you're giving something away for free, and it's very hard if not impossible to control how that data gets used or whether the primary benefactors contribute back anything to the source.

Ironically, the only known model of forcing people/corporations to contribute something back based on their usage of something is called "market-based pricing".

Unless someone is proposing that maps are somehow ethically or systematically different, than, say, Linux, this conversation feels rather unspecific and pointless.
Is this a profitable business?
At that time the claim was that BTC was a payments solution that would replace credit cards and cash. I feel OK for having dismissed that. It turns out that BTC has little inherent value, and is mostly just a tool for speculation. It's desirable to hold only so long as you think someone else will buy it off you for more later.

I think it's the the same with these NFT art tokens. They are not particularly useful as a thing to own, but if enough people believe they're worth something, then I guess they're worth something.

I disagree with alot of this article - the person has no sense of ownership and just knows to buy parts, and take it to a shop.

It's the same argument with new/old car.

Old things require more handling, care and general respect.

New things, last longer, because they're new.

Swapping in used parts is no guarantee, like his "6 months" repair of his fan.

NEW Old stock FRU for Lenovo/IBM are great.

I agree with the article in question, but, I just don't like how the author wrote it and has a dependence on "repair shops."

Repair shops are nothing more than a middle man, and if you run old equipment, you need to be redundant, ready to move systems and capable of repairing it yourself.

"This is a hack"

No it's not, it's a known finance topic called depreaction, and the risk/liability of deprecation assets.

Would I source, buy and deploy 10-40 macbook pro/air from the previous decade? Yes, a i7, 8gb/16gm model can be had refurb in great shape for $250-300, vs a comparative new model for $1000 each.

Having no policy/plan in place to swap out entirely, scary.

Would I do the same with Lenovo? Yes.

Macbook Air/Pro are great because the reduction of moving parts and great quality and metal fame really outlasts, and they can even run windows. So screw OSX if you don't want to be "reduced" to a latest OSX version.

It sounds silly, but a 10yr old macbook, you can max out to 16gb, even upgrade the CPU (you need a proper soldeing station, but I admit that's too much) and you can swap out everything and it's comparative to an average new machine.

When I mean average, new, I mean $300-600, comparing a new $1k+ mbp/air is no go, but even for a prev I7 to current i7, there is not "much" diff from 2014 to 2020.

etc etc etc
Less than you might think because of all the small stores where the whole model is to offer something, collect money, and not ship at all.

When it was time for us to start PPC ads for my B2B SaaS product, I took a whack at doing my own FB and AdWords campaigns. I found FB to be much more intuitive than Goog. I uploaded some collateral I threw together and targeted it towards people who were in specific Groups, people who liked specific things and excluded people who already liked our page. I clicked submit and after a day we started seeing an uptick in leads. Real, actionable leads. Meeting people at industry trade shows told me that they saw our FB ad. It worked (and still works) well for us in that small niche of the world with a well defined target demographic. I never felt compelled to hire anyone to manage it. I don’t have any books to recommend for you, but why not do some trial and error with small budgets to see what works for you?
You assume that early adopters still hold their Bitcoins. You are (mostly) wrong.
Yes, absolutely. Every company that I've ever worked at had a list of officially supported browsers that included Chrome, FireFox, Safari and Edge/IE.

> and lots of people decide to go away from their existing companies and work for the shitty companies, then you have to at least entertain the notion that you were wrong about what makes a job shitty

There's a lot of churn in the job market, so people go in and out of work frequently. They may spend a few weeks or months claiming unemployment benefits. In the UK that would be Universal Credit, and some people claiming UC were forced into working zero hour contracts for companies like Uber by the DWP.

For many people it's not a choice.

Good. The more mutations appear, the weaker they get, the better to end this hysteria.

> "Recombination could lead to the emergence of new and even more dangerous variants"

Such bullshit citations are the biggest problem nowadays. Recombinations every 20-50 years lead to more dangerous variants. 99% of all recombinations lead to less severe variants. Recombinations make about 5% of all mutations. Mostly it's just wear and tear, loosing parts.

They didn't even dare to cite the British variant conclusions: Much higher rate of asymptotic cases, much less severity.
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.01.28.21250680v...

With all new variants appearing, the absolute numbers of severe cases are going down. Less severe variants have higher transmissibility, because people have no reactions. High asymptotic rates.
Do you understand art in general? It is valuable because there are people that believe it is valuable. The NFT advancement is that it proves some sort of proof of ownership. Yes, it can be copied, but someone can also take a picture of a famous painting, or buy a cheap print. But they can't claim ownership. Only one person can do that, and people attribute value to that.

Also there are a lot of crypto-millionaires that believe this is the future. So that's why they are going for large sums so soon. I am not one, but I do think they are right.
