A significant percentage of semis you see are nowhere near fully loaded.

Especially for local deliveries- the truck is often half-empty.
It's fine if you are in Eastern Europe or something like myself, I have ~$5400 monthly salary (don't log hours, so don't know hourly rate, also logging hours is a red flag for me). But if you are in the US that is very low for your experience.

Also look into lowering taxes, 50% is super high. I manage to pay low (flat) tax in my country because I registered self-proprietorship/registered entrepreneur company and have flat tax rate (it's an option if you meet some conditions). Maybe something similar exist in your country, do the research, contact professional accountant if needed.
You sound a lot like me in the early parts of my career. Strong opinions are worth something when you're just getting started out, I can't quantify what they're worth but they do something beneficial in terms of speed. The downside is that anyone with perspective on their side is probably laughing (maybe giggling) at your strong opinions.

If your journey is anything like mine you will end up driving yourself lower and lower into the stack until you wear yourself out. Ideological buoyancy will take over and you'll float somewhere higher, but you'll be much more knowledgeable and valuable as a result. All that to say, don't be too hard on yourself.
I guess the "shtick" of C is that it has a small and obvious feature set. The readability and style of programming follows from that. As you start adding more and more language features and constructs, you start getting all the other languages that were derived from C and you no longer have C.

During the development of the project, I had a thought that it would be nice to have a RAII/defer mechanism to get rid of repetitive code for freeing resources at the end of a function. But I'm not sure if that's really necessary since you can just put the 'free' calls at the end of the function and insert some labels between them in a kind of 'stack'. This perhaps is more in the spirit of the language - a bit more wordy, but having less voodoo done by the compiler.
This is super impressive considering it's written in C. Well done and keep it up.
Politics would be less crazy if voting were compulsory
I'm not being baited into that argument. If you're starting a greenfield project then one of the first priorities is picking the tech stack and considering all of the trade-offs therein. In some situations you and your operations team might value deploying a static binary with zero dependencies to manage--Python is not a good choice there. Or in other situations you might depend on scientific code and models which are difficult or impossible to port away from Python. There's no simple answer to your question.
Not any more than an intel/amd/etc cpu is.
Like that XEON cpu is gonna crunch more numbers, just due to more cores.
The other issue is that each nuclear reactor site is effectively unique. So there's whole piles of paperwork that need to be checked and re-checked to ensure that all procedures and everything is correct and up-to-date.

With small modular reactors and similar, all the critical bits are made on a production line, and completely standardized. This will drastically reduced the paperwork and training needed to operate it safely.
Deprecation aside, Flask 2.0 begins adding type annotations, which is 3.6+

Portainer vs. Mirantis: My Experience in 2021
Fair point - but that was a neat example of the kind of coverage modern-day disaster get. The Puebla earthquake also had countless videos, but none were curated in one package like the Beirut explosion.
Did you see the article/comment from Chipotle's CEO about the impact of increasing wages? Going up to $15/hour would increase menu prices between 2-3%.

Labor prices have been low forever. Businesses have been taking advantage of low labor costs for service jobs literally for decades, pocketing the profits while expecting the government to fill the gaps with welfare/SNAP/EITC etc. And a good portion of this labor segment has decided (after experiencing the COVID lockdowns) that they don't need to put up with crap wages for a crap job.

I worked in the restaurant biz for over two decades, and it disgusts me how much it (and other service jobs) take advantage of employees. I was repeatedly told that every time the minimum wage went up, we'd have to lay off employees, or cut benefits etc. And every time, net income went up for every place I worked. It's just BS.

Long Term Capital Management was bailed out by the government.

Or, the Fed organized it.

They ended up leveraged 100 to 1 and had trillions in bonds.
No, I mean they would draw the selection themselves on the canvas. And they would get the event simply because the user clicked on the canvas.
No, because he's handy "with" a lady, not "for" a lady.
The 5 minute demo video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYcQf-Yq8B0) is compelling. Among other features, it shows generation of a glossary of "nonce" words (paper specific terms) and equation diagrams (mouseover the equations to see the terms defined in place). The available implementation does not appear to have all that in it yet.
> Speculatively, AVX512 processes multiplies serially, one 256-bit lane at a time, losing half its parallelism.

Sort of, in Skylake AVX512 fuses the 256-bit p0 and p1 together for one 512-bit µop, and p5 becomes 512-bit wide. So theoretically you get 2x 512-bit pipelines versus AVX2's 3x 256-bit pipelines (two of which can do multiplies.)

Unfortunately, p5 doesn't support integer multiplies, even in SKUs where p5 does support 512-bit floating-point multiplies. So AVX512 has no additional throughput for integer multiplies on current implementations.
I remember when I first learned to touch-type as a child, and for many years after, I would sometimes 'type' things out on my legs, tabletops, notebooks. At first it was to practice, but after I had mastered typing I kept doing it just because it was still novel to be able to type and feel like I knew how to use technology. Doing that made me realize that typing a character is a very specific and atomic action (compared to writing by hand), as well as an automatic one (once you learn how to touch-type). I wonder if the performance of this solution could be improved by training it to detect the mental impulses that occur when a trained typist imagines typing a character, rather than when the person imagines writing out a character.
Another thing I never see mentioned in the articles about restaurant staff shortages is how awful working at a restaurant is. The restaurant industry has more sexual harassment claims than any other industry, with 90% of women and 70% of men experiencing some form of sexual harassment [1]. Everyone I know who has worked in restaurants has plenty of stories about how awful the managers and customers are.

We need to fix that problem - especially the apportionment of carbon output (both from physical goods and from things like bitcoin). Political capital is better spent on that than on creating trivial loopholes while charging MSF doctors a fortune because they fly a to a warzone dozen times a year
I agree that my use of the word "magic" there was over-enthusiastic. The preference for local governance in Switzerland is a key factor, as you pointed out.
I don't think there's any way better than build a text editor from scratch, you have to understand the exact problem before reading other people's solutions.
Off the top, Bear Stearns bailed out its main hedge fund after it had to liquidate in what ended up being a precursor to the financial crisis. It happens fairly often.

'It smells bad, it tastes bad': how Americans stopped trusting their water
Vitalik Buterin just made a 1B dollar donation for India Covid Relief
90 characters per minute is quite slow. I would expect they could get faster by having the user imagine moving a cursor over an onscreen swipe keyboard.
I wonder if this is capable of interpreting more complex characters? I wonder if a patient who previously was able to write in simplified Chinese, for example, might be able to write faster?
DogeMars – Early Launch with crazy potential
Facebook Mobile distro would be something, but it’s an expected move. They’d have to be more creative and attack sideways.

Facebook could enter the actor/actress recruitment market, own contracts and manage their Instagram along all their artists’ public reputation and persona. It’s not hardware but at least it’s real-world assets that reinforce their network’s desirability.

Facebook could buy Homebrew or IntelliJ and become a tool that every developer for most languages need to use, and it would give it more leverage in negotiating with AWS/Azure (Oh, the SDK has bugs with GCP? too bad!)

Those are just examples that have not been implemented because they are half-ideas, but it’s the idea of attacking really sideways.
They were/are also incubated by YCombinator. They’re a darling here, for all the reasons you mentioned, but I also get the impression that they build in a “see what sticks” manner. I’ve found some of their recent announcements neat but not immediately valuable long-term or for non-casual users.
Computer Modern is one of the most butt-ugly fonts ever designed, and it would have already died a well-deserved death if it were not the default font of math and TeX. We can do much better, and we should.
They cannot legally force/mandate vaccinations, and they repeat that statement throughout the docs.

At most, they could insist that recovered people continue to get PCR tested: either you're negative and free to travel, or it will be a false positive, then you wait two (?) weeks and get a magical DHCP lease for 6-month "recovery certificate".

That would equate to a PCR-test industry tax on travel, which opens up several avenues for legal/policy challenge, e.g. test types, costs, subsidies, profit margins, supply chain ownership, benefits, numerical parameters, equipment calibration, performance (false positives/negatives).

Ludicrous rules don't punish people (who find workarounds), they decrease state power and credibility, reducing compliance with other, sensible, regulations. Sanity will eventually prevail, as long as citizens hold all policy proposals to high standards of transparency, reason and science.

Airplanes and hotels and tourist-destination cities want their customers back, and they will advocate on their behalf. The key is to avoid fights about specific interventions (like decade-old vaccines) and focus on laws (including liability) developed over centuries, and immune systems battle-tested even longer than laws.
Testing network load balancer on our open source infrastructure
Fun fact: In Germany, anti-people pepper spray is considered a weapon but anti-animal pepper spray is not. There is no difference of course, and you're allowed to use anti-animal pepper spray in self defense.
anecdotes are just that. They vary wildly.

Me: I worked 3 years, had a total of 6 weeks of crunch @50-55 hours/week, compensated 1.5x and with "free" dinner (AKA they actually complied to state law due to staying after 6PM). This was after literally cutting the content of the game in half due to client deadlines (A certain Big Tech company was not going to delay their product just because they set unreasonable deadlines to the studio). Attitude wise, no one liked it. Manager didn't pretend to be pleased with the discussions.

No extra vacation, but overall it wasn't one of those death grinds people talk on the internet about. I think both tales are valid, but of course one of them gets a lot more attention.
I'm speaking (from experience) about working remotely for big tech companies, not working for local companies. Based on the levels.fyi reference, I assumed that's what the parent post was referring to.

>Then, in theory he gets a tax writeoff for the transferred tokens, but given the percentage of the total supply, the charity is unlikely to get anywhere near that amount for it?

sounds like how a lot of art "donations" work.
I think it’s to cleanly show when he is using his pseudo-exception handling system. So goto fail would be “throw”
So how many decades are we away from something like Naquadah generators?

>These Sender IDs are reserved by companies and government organisations. Receiving a message from these Sender IDs is meant to be authentic.

No, it's not. Caller ID is not authenticated and shouldn't be depended for anything sensitive.
The only time I've ever seen real-time Google Docs collaboration has been during meetings which should have been an email. Total waste of everyone's time. Not to mention the horrible UX of people constantly moving their cursor around and moving text around. I'd suggest that pass-the-baton style collaboration would be a much better UX if you absolutely must collaborate real-time on creating a document. Which I find the premise to be incredibly dubious to begin with.
> The fact that Intel and AMD apparently don't prioritize integer division could suggest that their profiling suggests it's not worth it, but with Apple's transistor budget at the moment they can afford it.

An other possibility is that Apple has a very different profiling base e.g. iOS applications, whereas Intel and AMD would have more artificial workloads, or be bound by workloads / profiles from scientific computing or the like (video games)?
On that note, masonry layout is finally coming to CSS:

Bitcoin could handle 100k+ tps with some more serious optimizations (but keeping the same protocol / data structures) it’s simply tragic what small blockers have done with Bitcoin instead. UTXO is massively parallel! The double spend critical path could do millions of double spend checks per second.
I went through that whole thing in high school. High school was miserable. College was better but exhausting. Being an adult is way more fun.

This story has been going on for years, and it's always been a Nothing Burger:

> Matthew Yglesias notes[1] an uptick in Very Serious People warning that China might lose confidence in America and start dumping our bonds. He focuses on China’s motives, which is useful. But the crucial point, which he touches on only briefly at the end, is that whatever China’s motives, the Chinese wouldn’t hurt us if they dumped our bonds — in fact, it would probably be good for America.

4. No-one has really solved "flying east"... I mean following the sun (aka flying west), you "gain" time as in you can land local time (@arrival) "before" you left local time (@departure). Going east is a totally different story so you might as well take the red-eye flight and catch a good night of sleep.

So the whole "business" argument of having a full work day flying east doesn't really work. Unless you can fly really really really fast which none of these planes do.

The only gain flying east is less flying time.
The net worth Americans say you need to be considered wealthy
I think he actually converted it to eth before donating. I believe he lives in Singapore which doesn't have tax on crypto (unless you're a business, etc).

If he was in the US, it's pretty straightforward, I believe he would have income tax on the initial value of the SHIB tokens received (which is messed up, since he didn't actually want it), then capital gains tax on the gains between the time he received and converted to ETH.
When US-based companies put things in US measurements and don't provide metric conversions, it makes me (as a non-American) feel like they aren't thinking about their non-US customers. It appears parochial.

Miles I can roughly convert in my head, but I have really no idea what a gallon or a fluid ounce is. I remember a pound is a bit under 500 grams but can't remember how many ounces in a pound. Fahrenheit to Celsius, I know there is a 5/9 and a 32 involved, but I don't remember exactly what to do with them.

What makes it worse here is that the original measurement was in kilometres – kilometres are the standard unit for measuring orbital altitudes in the space industry, even in the US-based space industry – and someone has gone to the trouble of converting that to miles and then omitting to include the original measurement.
Actually what OCR programs do is a very clever hack. PDF is mostly just a way to describe how to render pages, and just like with any rendering frame work that can involve a bitmap, a set of stroke and fill commands, or some text rendering. A scanned document obviously is just a huge bitmap, but if you can identify the text, and can define a font that doesn’t draw anything, then you can add instructions to the PDF to render that text in that font and as long as you can specify character positions everything will line up nicely.

If you are generating a PDF with text you can render a string with spaces and let the glyph layout sort it out, or render individual characters, or draw those characters by hand and use the invisible font trick (because your font is not licensed for embedding). It’s not that you’re using different conceptual layers of the PDF, you’re just choosing how to render your content.
Hey that was fun. I first read your page, and based on descriptions, tried to predict my result. Took test, result was close - same category(row), but other side.(column). Neato.
Flutter is not competing with general GUI toolkits, it's competing with fully crossplatform toolkits, of which there's only a couple of real contenders for real-world apps: React Native and maybe Sciter.

Nothing else is production-ready and can run on the web, iOS, Android and desktop OSs (Linux, Windows, MacOS).

It's not competing with pure web frameworks. For this reason, yes, I think that if you're going to criticize it, you absolutely need to know what you're talking about... if Flutter claims it can handle accessibility, it's on you to prove it can't if you make this argument so eloquently on the Internet without actually knowing it.

BTW if you know of any other good UI Toolkits that really can run anywhere like Flutter, using the same code base, please let me know.
Shib’s creators donated 50% of all shiba ($11B worth) to Vitalik to create scarcity.
In fact, dragging a window in XP was the quickest way to see if hardware acceleration was properly enabled.

Citation for the capacity problem? I'm skeptical because this sounds a lot like the speculation around DSL when it rolled out in my city back in 1997 (IIRC), and the "crosstalk killing throughput of the entire cable bundle" issues never seemed to come about.

The real killer to the telco behind DSL seemed to be that they would never deploy DSLAMs in remote terminal boxes, because they didn't want CLECs to come in with their own DSLAMs to serve the rural areas, so if you weren't a couple miles from the fairly rare Central Offices, you were limited to 128Kbps IDSL (ISDN data-only) service.

Then the just sat on their copper infrastructure while the world moved on past them with terrestrial wireless and cable modems.

Their last gasp was a million dollars spent on advertising to oppose the municipal fiber network, along with the cable company, but the city is installing those lines as we speak, and it's glorious!
Yep, it's fixed. Congrats on the launch!
If a project requires an open API like OpenGL, SDL, Vulkan which is documented and defined using ANSI C or C99 language constructs, then some amount of C is required regardless of the merits of the language. With high level language with large community maybe someone writes and maintains wrapper, library, or FFI binding for you but this relies on economy of scale and out-sourcing work. If a programmer doesn't understand a C API then writing a binding to a function they don't understand in order to test it is a point of friction which encourages returning to plain C. Ideally more of the "Better C" languages would retain ability to parse and compile vanilla C header files without manual binding. Zig attempts this but reduces the cognitive simplicity of the language by using structs as namespaces for holding local function definitions rather than as "plain old data".

Datura metel as a common thread between India and N American entheogens is also interesting.

Of all the ways to make politics less crazy, forced participation doesn't seem like a great one.
From what I recall at the time the issue with back of house workers is that if anyone on the line has it then everyone is likely to get it. The kitchen is crowded, it is hot (making PPE seldom used), people are shouting over each other and the noises of cooking, ventilation is pulling from the public in the front of house across the line and then out, and the existing contamination-prevention efforts are all based on touch and not respiration. While front of house people would have been exposed to the general public they were not as confined.
