> Speed of iteration beats quality of iteration.

I totally agree but for me that means using a debugger and make full use of its features.

> But if you missed the moment, you have start again from the beginning

As already mentioned in another comment, "drop frame" is a standard Java debugger feature. You can easily go back to the start of any method and go though everything again (side effects of already executed code can give some trouble though).

> Or maybe you're looking at the wrong part entirely at this stage, and just wasting time.

You have the same issue when printing in the wrong parts. Of course you can plaster the code with lots of print statements to see which gets executed. But you can do the same with breakpoints and see where the debugger stops.

> With print debugging you write a bit of code to test a hypothesis. Then you run it, and you keep running it, and especially if it's an UI program you play with the UI and see how the values change during that run.

I really like conditional breakpoints for this. You write a condition for a state that interests you. Then play around in the UI until it stops for that condition and you can easily inspect the complete state at that moment. This is quite useful for debugging methods that are executed very often. Trigger breakpoint (which disable all other breakpoints until they are triggered) are also useful in those situations without requiring any code.

> Once you do know where the problem is, and if it's not apparent what the problem is (most problems are pretty trivial once located), that's IMO the time to break out the debugger and slowly step through it. But the vast majority of problems are faster to solve through rapid iterative exploration with prints in my experience [...]

I can just say that I usually locate issued way faster with a debugger. "rapid iterative exploration" could also kind of describe my workflow using breakpoints. Maybe it actually less about the tool and more about your approach for locating issues in the code.
Not that NIPR computers don't have access to the internet - but because this isn't 1987, those individual workstations would never have public facing DoD v4 IPs. They'll always be behind some combination of NAT and firewall or as you mentioned, proxy. Certainly there could be some DoD public IP on the external interfaces of said firewalls. If I had to guess very often the public facing side of those boxes might be a commercially acquired local ISP using that ISP's IP space, and not actual DoD IP space...
>I've already shared one specific pattern above

If you mean this:

"Say you have a table of inventory movements and want instead a snapshot table of inventory at point in time"

Then I can make my own data to play with - I only want to be clear about the constraints. Would 500K records be enough to obviate the distinction between naive and non-naive approaches? Can you quantify (not precisely) "struggle"?

I have used Table.Buffer, but I probably don't thoroughly understand its use yet.

(I belatedly realized your problem is something I've done with Sharepoint list history recently, but not that many records, so I'm going to look for a public dataset to try)

P.P.S. I guess it also makes me think - I frequently am getting my data from an Oracle database, so if something is easier done there, I'd put it in the SQL. Analytic functions are convenient.

P.P.P.S. Aha! I found a file of parking meter transactions for 2020 in San Diego, which is about 140MB and almost 2 million records. This seems like a good test because not only is it well over the number you said was problematic, but it's well over the number of rows you can have directly in one Excel sheet.

Two cars i’ve owned for 10 and 14 years and the power windows broke once (on one side). cost me $150 i think. Pretty good value imho.
I've looked into it several years ago and a product was trialed, but basically you can't insure events that are bound to happen, you need to bolster the insurance pool.

I and a few others don't have any issue abstracting all topics into their economic realities, including the marriage concept that the state offers in its entity catalogue. I think many more people could do that as well, it is just convenient to deflect and pretend marriage isn't about that, convenient for typically one party in any case.
I've been off all Social platforms for almost a decade now. And, no matter how much I try and convince my close friends and relatives to do the same, it doesn't work.

I realised this very late, but it is almost like asking people to give up on coffee. You could probably get them to replace it with something else but you cannot remove it from their lives.

It is all about filling the void.

I'm sure I'll get downvoted but isn't it possible that BOTH the real crime rate is higher in more poverty stricken areas AND that cops are more likely to arrest blacks in general? Does it always have to be one or the other, rather than both?

You seemed to be drawing a parallel between no-code -> "not as powerful", in my experience they're different tools for different use cases.

I also don't think they're nearly as no-code as you call out. VS' watch window has very few limitations compared to printf back when I was working on win32 things.

Also important to consider iteration time. I once worked on a system where adding a printf was a 20 minute process due to the need to heavily optimize for a memory constrained platform(scripting fit in 400kb block with the asset bake step).

The display is controlled over an 8MHz spi bus, you can only write to it as a bitmap (no functions to draw stuff like lines or filled rectangles) you give a square to draw in, and then a rectangle to bitmap to draw in the square. With the speed of the spi bus, the max speed you'll be able to update the entire display at is 8fps.
> And does that change the point I was making, that zoning is a bigger impediment to more/cheaper housing than codes?

Zoning is codes, and safety is one of the overt purposes of such codes. And, conversely, state building/safety/hability codes can have zoning-like exclusionary purposes as well as their overt purposes. You can’t really cleanly divide them as unrelated orthogonal rules.

> It isn't safety codes that says I can't put six locked insulated sheds in my back yard for six homeless people to sleep in and a port potty, it's zoning, right?

No, in most cases using sheds and not having in-unit bathrooms would violate safety/hability codes at the state level, not just local zoning ordinances.

Now, building an otherwise legal multiunit apartment complex on your single-family-zoned lot would also be a zoning violation, true.
You're basically describing the scientific method. Particularly the practical application of Occam's Razor: Starting from simple theories, and working your way up towards more complex ones until the theory is just complex enough to describe the system behavior you're trying to understand.

A bureaucratic nightmare straight out of Terry Gillian's classic film, Brazil[a].

Thankfully, in this case we got a Hollywood-style ending in which innocent postal workers were ultimately found not to be guilty, so they weren't completely chewed up by the bureaucratic machinery.

I think an important thing to note about gravity batteries is how environmentally friendly they are, even relative to lithium ion batteries. Lithium mining is an insanely tight bottleneck in LI battery production, mostly outsourced to countries where we don't think much about it (Australia is a big one right now, but in terms of untapped reserves, Chile Argentina and China are all huge). They require complicated manufacturing processes that are centralized into maybe four or five advanced manufacturing companies around the planet.

When speaking about LI packs, especially to enterprises deploying them at grid scale, their expected life has to enter into the equation. Maybe 15 years? 25? So, millions up-front, and millions more every couple decades; its not an impossible sale, but relative to other options (like hydro storage, which is excellent but also limited to areas with existing reservoirs) its not obviously the best option.

They may be better, but I don't feel that means gravity batteries don't have a place. The mechanical pieces to raise and harvest the energy likely aren't carbon-zero, but the weight itself can be built out of anything. They don't experience leakage of stored energy over time (barring a failure of the retention system keeping the weight elevated) (though, obviously, there is loss in the addition of energy to the storage, as the machines which raise the weights are not perfect). They can be reused essentially indefinitely (excepting continuing upkeep of the retention and raise/harvest systems, and proper weather protection of the weight). Their failure mode is "falls", which can be designed far, far safer than a typical LI pack failure of "explodes in a fire that literally cannot be put out". None of the systems in-play are particularly technically advanced, and a ton of the cost is up-fronted. There's a lot of reasons to think they will represent a component of green energy storage in the future; likely not as large at LIo packs, but the world is a big place.
Re: Snowflake clone
I would humbly invite you to read the note in the KSUID Github, namely:

*To fit into a 64-bit number space, Snowflake IDs and its derivatives require coordination to avoid collisions, which significantly increases the deployment complexity and operational burden.*

Therefore KSUID remains the best option.

Perhaps look into Vast Data? They have a TCO calculator [1] but it seems to compare to other on-prem data storage providers (like Isolon...). 10PB in One Zone IA costs $100,000/mo without discount, or $1.2M per year, and that's just for storage alone. Vast claims something like $3.5M TCO over 5 years with 10PB of data and no growth assumption. 5 years on your S3 zone with no data growth (or transfer...) is $6M.

I didn't ask about the US Dollar. I asked about Bitcoin. It's seems odd to me that you are concerned that I didn't answer your question about the US dollar when you haven't answered mine about Bitcoin. I question your intentions as well. I only asked a simple, speculative question. My intentions are pure, while you present yourself to me in a manner that reminds me of trolling.
I completely agree. The void is terrifying to most people. That's why this ending passage is so important:

"I know a man who is building an advertisement-free Facebook replacement because he agrees with everything I have said critically about Facebook. Except, of course, for one thing: he believes the world needs Facebook, he just doesn’t like the Facebook we have. It’s like how at some point in our past, we agreed that the world required fizzy, brown sugar water, so the alternative to Coca Cola wasn’t no Coca Cola (or the abundance of other things you could drink), it was Pepsi. Why is the alternative to Facebook your Facebook by another name?"
> isn’t an unfair generalisation that Russians don’t speak English very well

Of that I happen to be painfully aware, along with the country's simultaneous post-SU obsession with English or generally Latin-alphabet branding. The closer I come to proper pronunciation, the more difficult it is sometimes to communicate my desires in a shop (if I happen to wander into a non-self-serve one). I guess I should just be thankful that it's not French, with the more regular spelling but half of the letters being silent.
This specific article is terribly written, however. I've spend over 5min trying to get the gist of the story. Which seems to be:
A business owner with a background in oil and metals asked the bank he owned to fund levereged-buy-outs of rundown US steel factories, some of which had accidents, some of which later shut down. DOJ and the prosecutors in Ukraine investigate if the schemes used in the process of take-over could be fraudulent.
> This is an obvious scam if you do the math.

Reading the rest of your comment, I'm not sure you did the math yourself...

> Assuming the full scale version delivers peak power for 11 seconds like the prototype

The prototype is a 4-storey tower (i.e. less than 20m).

> That's terrible. We're taking about dropping hundreds, maybe thousands of tons down a mine shaft

A mine shaft can be expected to be significantly deeper than a 4-storey tower is tall.

So it seems you've invalidated the assumption upon which your argument is based in the paragraph immediately following it?

> the same amount of power as $700 of lithium batteries you could carry in a backpack

From TFA itself, they estimate they can offer a price of $171/MWh, while Lithium-ion batteries cost $367/MWh.
> These snow flakes need to spend some time abroad and get a good dose of reality instead of making up their own here....

Are you referring to the authors of this list, or the people on it, or the people firing the people on it? Everybody would claim someone else is the one making up their own reality.
So stars are not visible from space? I'm assuming not because they're not in the pictures, but because there are no pictures of just stars from space, which I assume would be a point of interest for any astronaut. That is weird, and I wonder if almost every single sci-fi scene in space should have no stars as well.
Checking, it looks like Calibre expects one Markdown file as input, where I have a few Markdown files, linking to each other in a way that works on GitHub. It looks like the sort of thing that either works as-is with luck, or is a pain in the neck and needs massaging.
That's true, but there's something to be said about culture. Bikes in the Netherlands are a way of life. Bikes in the US are recreational/occasionally professional. If people are inconvenienced, they just won't use it.

Not to mention in New York, there's already significant risks that come with biking/scootering. You always always have to share the road for at least some part of the trip and are constantly at risk of car doors, pedestrians and ironically, really fast e-bikes. I know that during the summer the benefits outweigh the risks, at least during pandemic. During the winter with ice and snow? Hell no.
Wave energy would be any type of machine that uses the motion of individual waves or swells, rather than tides.

There is a wide range of ideas, most are at small scale, early stage, and no winner has emerged the same way that wind energy has seen the 3 bladed turbine win out.

Wave energy devices exist using almost any type of power take off mechanism - direct drive electric generators, linear generators, compressed air, and hydraulic actuators. Some may even use propellers in water but that's not as common since direction is always changing.
I haven't actually used quickcheck in Haskell, but I've used it for very complicated tests in other languages including Racket, TypeScript, Rust, and Java. The nicest thing about quickcheck is that it lets you easily create test data without imposing too many constraints on it. Regular fuzzing or randomized testing is almost as good, but the narrowing done by quickcheck is sometimes nice for understanding test failures.

Other comments point to the scheme using the asset purchased with stolen money as collateral for a loan that the bank is left with in a much depreciated state. That would make the ongoing extraction of profits is irrelevant. My alternate set of questions about this loan fraud scheme are in a different comment. Ha.

And I don't really get how that "launders" the money trail. The only point at which the transfers of funds seem murky is when they go through the she'll companies in the BVI.

It's related to Amdahl's law but not identical. As I understand it, Amdahl's law is talking about the situation where you have say 10 units of work, and 5 of them can be parallelized, and 5 can't and must be run serially.

The COST paper is talking about the situation where you have 10 units of work, but it takes 10 more units of work to distribute it across multiple computers.

Sometimes that's a win and sometimes it isn't, thus the phrase "parallelizing your overhead". If all you did was parallelize the additional overhead, then you didn't gain anything by using a distributed system.

IOW, the overhead for distribution in distributed systems can be very large. It's still there in parallel computing, but shared memory makes it less pronounced. (Although NUMA makes your single computer like a distributed system again.)
Most of the work under the label of feminism has been about creating options, there are many people that try to leverage the movement to be more exclusionary and say some options are wrong in favor of a mental corporate career. From my experience this has been women that go as far as to invalidate the decision making ability of other women that are not choosing a corporate career like that.

Interesting paper. I was recently reading the Wikipedia for graph databases spurred on by Neo4j where there is a glaring statement:

"Research demonstrated that there is no benefit to using a graph-centric execution engine and storage manager" - which I take to be the kind of systems that the paper is critical of.

Which I suppose graph execution engines should outperform a single threaded "“think like a vertex" problem.

Which links to this paper The case against specialized graph analytics engineshttp://cidrdb.org/cidr2015/Papers/CIDR15_Paper20.pdf

They use a relational database to outperform dedicated graph databases.

Is part of the takeaway "hand coded single threaded think like a vertex" beats distributed system which involves communication or parallelisation.

This is feasible if your program is the only one ever reading (let alone writing) the data. When you add a separate frontend and stringly-typed back-and-forth communication (JSON), it becomes a huge headache for whichever platform(s) are not the gatekeeper of the data. They have to a) depend on your rules being modelled in a translatable way, and b) find a rational user experience for handling the inevitable inconsistencies.
