Disagree. If I’m going to pay $600 for a meal, I want to be sold on what’s to come. Letting me know that things are special, rare, and detailed gives me a better idea of what’s to come and makes me more excited for it. If I saw very few words yet high price tag, it would be difficult to calibrate my expectations and even know what to get.

You don’t go to the French Laundry for a meal, you go for an experience.
My sax teacher has me play the leading notes of the next bar after what I'm actually practicing. It makes a big difference.

On the piano I'm currently learning how to put a walking bass on the left hand side with a melody on the right. It's really challenging. One problem with playing it slowly is that it produces clashing notes that sound wrong but will disappear once being played at the correct speed.
Because you are throwing away information that you already have.
I don't think we can make a direct connection between bestiality and the lack of access to sex with members of the opposite sex, as it seems more likely that would lead to increase in masturbation.

That said it is true there is a market for fleshlights despite people having hands, but I don't think we can say that the market existing proves the bestiality conjecture.

I think to argue the bestiality conjecture you need to directly argue the lack of access to human sexual contact increases bestiality not imply it.

I'm not saying it isn't so. Just that one can't blithely claim because A then C.

on edit: should also note that the sex toys market is maybe primarily based on the marketing that these are better than masturbation. A very easy line can be drawn from people masturbating to buying sex toys based on a lot of marketing for them. But - I am unfamiliar with a material available at the time advocating use of farm animals as better than masturbation. Actually I think Pantagruel and Gargantua probably had some lines about it, but then it had lines about everything.

on second edit: Gargantua and Pantagruel, preoccupied.
And I believe we've had a swing in culture of preferring the system/compiler to point out -possible- errors at the expense of "just working". Aka js -> typescript and c/c++ -> rust.

I do firmly believe that the subtle bugs of "this seems to work the way I intended" is far more nefarious.

Albiet this is something that can be aleviated with better tooling, which no-code stuff generally lacks (how do you debug your kizmit code?).

I remember spending many hours trying to debug what was going on with teamcity and just ultimately wishing I could get a fully dumped XML describing the config rather than going through every single damn menu item/config drop down. (I believe Tc only allowed a partial XML config of the current screen and not the whole build process).

Recently Mega took down a popular ethereum miner download for no given reason. Underground archival is much more difficult than people give credit for.

I mean me personally? I'm very boilerplate tolerant. I'm not a fan of Dependency Injection/Auto Wiring for similar reasons and I've never found wiring boilerplate to be too painful. In fact I'd love even more explicitness and manual wiring for almost everything like disk, network, or even clock access aka passing capabilities!

Default params are generally fine since they're hidden on the implementation side but explicit if they vary at the caller site.

And even dynamic dispatch I try to use carefully and sparingly. I just like really explicit programs.

It might help to have a contrasting example to clarify the key details.

Let's say we buy four scratch-off tickets. The clerk selling the tickets assures us that one of the four is a winner. You choose two tickets, and I take the remaining two.

I scratch one of my tickets, revealing that it is a dud. At this point, I suggest we should swap your two tickets for my two tickets. You start to object, but I point out that this is just like the Monty Hall problem.

When we made our initial choice, there was a 2/4 chance the winning ticket was in the set you picked, and a 2/4 chance that it was in the set that I picked. The fact that I revealed a ticket didn't change that. So you should be willing to trade, as both sets of tickets are equally likely to contain the winner.

You refuse, obviously. The difference is that whether there's two goats behind his doors or one, Monty will always choose a goat. He provides no information about the door you've already chosen, as the probability of him choosing a goat is unchanged based on whether you picked correct or not. I, on the other hand, could have revealed the winning ticket, but the odds of me doing so would be lower if you already had it in your possession. So, my dud updates the probability of all remaining tickets.

None of these books are great literature per se. But still very worth reading IMHO.
Yes, but it's more nuanced then that.

If I remember correctly the bytecode is interpreted and executed by the runtime. This means the bytecode is fully in memory as bytecode when the jvm loads .class files. The native code for the JVM interpreter and runtime execution is also present in memory.

At this point execution happens without "duplicate code" in memory.

Note: the JVM could compile the bytecode fully into native code before execution but that's an implementation detail for a specific JVM implementation.

Then we add the JIT. The JIT will notice hot paths during interpretation/execution and compile a method to native code and inject it so it calls the jit_native version instead of the bytecode_interpreted version. The JIT does not overwrite original bytecode but stores the compilation result separately.

So to come back to your statement "both bytecode and native code generated from bytecode in memory at the same time": yes, but only for the JIT-compiled hot paths.

This to me is the "power" of the JVM + JIT. Run interpreted bytecode and compile to native for the hot paths.
Dead as COBOL.

Or it could mean that the personal pleasures people take up don't have that much to do with progress. That there is no need to conflate asceticism and virtue. That perhaps progress has more to do with the things we legally bind ourselves to as a society such as equality, solidarity and opportunity. No one here has said there aren't times which are "better" or "worse" than others. Merely that it's not worthwhile to judge that on the dubious metric of decadence.
Either,

UBSAN detects undefined behavior at run-time. Compile-time detection of undefined behavior is present in the form of compiler warnings, but catches far from all cases of undefined behavior. The compiler does not actively exploit undefined behavior in the sense that it does not contain code like this:

if (undefined_behavior) break_program()

If it did, it could easily report the undefined behavior. However, that's not how it works. Instead, the compiler has optimization rules that are only valid if the code contains no undefined behavior. If the code contains undefined behavior, the optimization rules change the result of the program. For example, this code:

bool function(int x) {
return x + 1 > x;
}

Can be optimized to "return true". That is correct if x does not overflow, but if x overflows and wraps around the optimization changes the result of the program. In this case, it is acceptable according to the C/C++ standards for the optimization to assume x does not overflow, and hence this optimization is valid.

The compiler could tell you for every instance of signed integer arithmetic that it is making assumptions about your program, and that the signed integer arithmetic could potentially overflow, but that doesn't seem particularly helpful.
I think stocks and cryptocurrencies should not be grouped together
They do it basically by raising interest rates -- when the Fed issues new currency they do it by buying bonds (usually Treasuries). When they want to take currency out of circulation, they just sell the bonds. This lowers the price of bonds, which raises interest rates.
TBF the internal API could be designed more pessimistically, as in llvm could drop noalias annotations unless they’re explicitly maintained (/ converted).

This means optimisation phases would need to explicitly opt-in and aliasing optimisations would commonly be missed by default, but it would avoid miscompilations.
Not really... if everyone expects inflation to rise, it will already be priced in.
Everything is over inflated at the moment so it's a dammed if you do dammed if you don't kind of situation. However, a global ETF is going to return the highest yield for minimised risk, and even if the world markets crash. You're still holding something of value.

I found some similar looking LED offers by Migros, the largest (or second largest) retail chain in Switzerland:

The power factor is 0.5 which is appalling - can't really get lower than 0.5 with capacitive load. Industrial clients do pay for the VA (apparent) than W (actual) power. But even then most urban EU power network is dominated by capacitive loads as the inductive ones tend to use 3-phase 400v (which is balanced)

Most of the constant current driven LED would have similar characteristics when they are not overdriven. 25KHz+ PMW driven LED would have similar features as well. It's not hard to make LEDs that actually last and have high lumen/watt ratio with off the shelf components.

Overall the main culprit is the LED installation mechanism, e.g. E27 - there is just not enough room to make efficient light out of that. Near ceiling lights do look better (at least to me) and they can have both not overdriven LEDs (say 90mA per 5730), high (over 87%) power factor, decent passive elements... and they are repairable with some electronics background.

Think of it this way. In the original problem, there was a 1/3 chance of your original choice being the car, and a 2/3 chance of the other two. The host knowing which door to open gives you information without changing the odds, so there's still a 2/3 chance you picked wrong.

When the host does not know which door to pick, there's a 1/3 chance that you picked right, a 1/3 chance that the host opens the door with the car, and a 1/3 chance that you should switch. The host opening the door with the car ends that branch, so you're left with 2/3 of the original probability, and your odds for either branch remaining are 50:50.
They don't call in the bonds. They either hold them to maturity, or sell them in the open market.
Nope, those have overdriven LEDs, look how few 'filaments' they get.
> The app-building app that ultimately wins is going to be the one that lets you build any app, not just an app that serves a particular niche or business process.

The reality is that you still have to model some specific domain against which SQL queries can be written. I 100% agree with doing implementations in SQL, but you still need imperative code wiring your well-normalized interpretation of the matrix into the outside world.

That said, SQL is more powerful than most developers are aware. Using providers like SQLite allows authoring UDFs which blur the lines between code and SQL. The nastiest bits of our product are implemented by business owners in SQL now. We have written UDFs like format_date() which are simply thin wrappers for things like Datetime in C#. Developers just ensure stability of the schema/UDFs and any relevant Code-to-sql mappers. Also note the in-memory mode of operation for SQLite makes it a perfect fit for large numbers of ad-hoc projections in parallel.

There’s been 11 versions of ios so far this year though, so it’s something. No sure why they do it this way, probably so they can make sure that everything plays together optimally. That would be harder if each system app updated separately.

A salad with mushrooms?! Where's the science in this?! It is strange that scientists suggest eating raw mushrooms, which contain toxins, one of them being agaritine, which is easily deactivated by heat. In addition, mushrooms accumulate radioactive elements. It's very unscientific tog generalize mushrooms, when they are greatly varying in terms of nutrition and benefits! In Bulgaria, where I'm originally from, people eat a lot of mushrooms, but we never eat them raw! A lot of people in America believe that eating raw foods is healthier! I suggest to those brainiacs to start eating raw potatoes or soybeans!

Bu seriously, I still don't understand cryptocurrencies. So, your X discoin is worth Y million real money. But that's only while it's in cryptocurrency form.

If people start cashing out, the value will plummet, right? Only the first few will get close to the high value?

That seems very similar to a pyramid/ponzi scheme to me.

On that note, would it survive some catastrophic event? Like the Internet going down. A bunch of gold will. Hell, invest in power generators and batteries, those will survive and be worth a lot.

Can Bitcoin be restored and restarted from one computer with the whole ledger stored on it?
There are places in Spain just like that. Only that they are not overpopulated already. That's not exclusive to California, rather available several times on that line around the globe.
Thats not a fundamental difference with regard to whether this is a pyramid scheme (or a ponzi scheme) or not. The US dollar will be valueless one day. Maybe that day is when the sun burns out. Maybe that day is next week. Regardless, someone is left holding the bag. This is the definition of either of these schemes. Cryptocurrencies are no different from fiat currencies in this regard, though they may be different in terms of technical details, like emission schedule.

That was a surprisingly entertaining and well-researched manifesto.

In the same spirit, I think it is time to rethink the verb 'to be': the only consistent conjugation is obviously 'I/you are; he ares; we/you/they are'. And similarly the past tense should be 'ared' instead of 'was/were'. Generations of children have been getting themselves needlessly confused because of this terrible convention!

Would it be possible to correct this wrong? Or do you think the time for doing so has passed and, by now, it are what it are.
You can have plenty of LEDs and a reasonable switching PSU in an E27 lamp, it's just harder to cool them with the typical design. Most LED lamps use ridiculously few chips, you could fit multiple times more even on the one-PCB designs, not to mention "corn cob" arrangements or those with LED filaments. That's not to say E27 is an ideal form factor for LEDs, I'm hoping we'll see more and more homes with LED-optimised lighting designs.

> Spot cryptocurrencies are not a complex product.

This is certainly not true. The highest ranking economists would have a month long debate on if there is intrinsic value or not and how to value their network effects and still come out with no consensus. It couldn't actually be further from the truth that these are simple instruments. The risk and utility of those are totally unknown. At least in a startup that makes EV cars you know that if they sell X cars you will get Y money.

How do you propose the SEC protect investors from this “malicious bubble”? Would you make it illegal for me to buy into a joke cryptocurrency or any other sort of bubble? And who ultimately gets to decide what’s a bubble that we dumb money need to be protected from vs something that is just in its infancy or whose potential despite risks is greater than its current value? People use this sort of “protect the retail investor” rhetoric so often to reduce the capabilities of retail investors to participate in markets. This sounds like more of that.

Popular wisdom amongst early retirement groups is you need 25x your annual spending to retire indefinitely. This figure is based on average stock market returns, so as long as you take out less than you earn each year you are golden. Some years it won't do so well, others it'll do better, but overall you should be safe.
