Except, it's not magic. It costs processing cycles, and latency, and invalidations of cache rows you were using, and memory bus traffic. Lots of all of them.

Most of the costs are not counted as runtime for your process, so benchmarks invariably appear to show GC as costing less overhead than it does. Among the costs, as with all the myriad varieties of caching done in modern systems, is that GC makes it hard to know the costs of design choices you make. Many of the costs are in making the caches less effective.
This bullshit has nothing to do with Brave. Brendan Eich (Brave CEO) was cancelled years ago, and the mob is still after him. That's what going on really, it's cancel culture at its finest.

Look on the bright side: it used to be a whole lot worse.

I mean on both sides, too. The Pinkerton thugs get all the press, and are rightly condemned, but for coverage of the union men beating their non-union colleagues to death with clubs, blinding a man with thrown stones, I refer you to coverage such as McLure's Magazine article The Right To Work (1903) which gave its name to the type of law: http://moses.law.umn.edu/darrow/documents/Right%20to%20work....

I like the distinction that it draws at the beginning, too:

"PUBLIC opinion seems to be coming around to the view that the trades' union is here to stay. From many unexpected quarters we hear every now and then a more generous acknowledgment that the organization of labor is not only as inevitable as the combination of capital, but a good thing in itself. At the same time, and from the same fair minds, you hear expressions of passionate indignation at the abuse of power by unions. This means that public opinion is beginning to distinguish between unionism and the sins of unionists, as it is between organized capital and the sins of capitalists."

All we have to contend with today, here, are the vengeful downvotes.

I am writing a book about Spring Boot: Spring Boot in Practice
Spring is the most popular Java framework for building medium- to enterprise-scale applications. Spring Boot abstracts away complex configurations so you can stay focused on fulfilling business requirements. More than just a “must-learn” technology for anyone building Java-based web applications, Spring Boot has become a “must-master” framework.

Spring Boot in Practice covers dozens of handy Spring Boot development techniques, from basic functions to hidden features you probably didn’t even know existed. Each recipe is built around a real-world problem, complete with a full solution and thoughtful discussion.

You’ll work your way from fundamentals to advanced functionalities as you take deep dives into auto-configuration, security implementation, and even support for reactive application development. Learn how to work with Spring Boot and Kotlin, handling connections for multiple platforms, and how Spring Boot can simplify building microservices and APIs. You’re sure to keep this practical book on hand as a reference as you build your next Spring Boot apps.

Plus, for a couple days, you can use the code mlmusib to get 50% off the retail price.

Only those conferences work requires me to go to. I don’t get much out of them, to be honest. I never attend meetups. (I did a few times in the past, they were worse than useless to me.)

I’ve had beers with other devs in my field, and very productive cross-industry meetings. But general agenda-less meetups are not useful, no.

> There's a non-trivial number of people who will tell you with a straight face that white people can't experience racism.

I'm not a big fan of the word games that people play these days, but I would otherwise mostly agree with those people. the status of the person/people discriminating against you makes a big difference. the worst example I can think of from my own life was when a DMV employee went out of her way to fail me on my driver's license test. another employee told me she only lets black kids pass. that sucked, but I went back the next day and passed with a different employee.

anyways, all I'm saying is people discriminate on the basis of race/gender/sexuality all the time. cis-hetero-rich-white dudes are not spared entirely, but the consequences tend to be minor in comparison.
I do believe I've been quite respectful with you. If at any time I was caustic, abrasive, or offensive, I apologize. It is certainly not my intention.
It's reasonable to have a discussion about voter friction and whether it can be advantageous to democracy. The point of the parent though is that changes to voter laws discriminate in friction; that is, some groups are more affected than others. When friction is applied unevenly, it becomes disenfranchisement.
To be fair, taproot isn't live on mainnet yet.
> which is why many male only sports have started their own female only sides

Most of the popular sport leagues don't have any rules disallowing female competitors. I'm sure the NHL, NBA, NFL, MLS, MLB, Premier League etc. would love to have a female player that was good enough because it would be a marketing dream.
I know there's a lot of hate for the Teamsters union in particular. Corruption exists in every human institution. But in the modern oligarchy that is the US, where politicians are completely bought and paid for with corporate money, organized labor is literally the only tool we have left against a capitalist dystopia. It's easy to forget that we had to fight literal wars in this country to gain things like the 8 hour work day. This stuff doesn't come without a fight. And you can nitpick about the quality of an organization, but you go to war with the army you have.
> Some states have passed right-to-work or open shop laws that say each worker has the right to hold his job in a company, no matter whether he joins a labor union, or not. If you were asked to vote on such a law, would you vote for it, or against it?

Have you heard of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_share though? There is no law that all wage change is accounted for in productivity change and inflation.

Plus, recall Keynesian feedback loops that more wages will unlock more consumption -> more wages. So increasing the wage share can even make the rich better off, unless the rich cruely only care about their power relative to the poor.

Shit this explains me at work the last couple of months. I might have ADHD. Time to go see a doctor. Thank you!
ADHD is interesting, but it's not really a superpower. It's a superpower in retrospect if you've already found a way to be successful with it, but it's not really something I've found that can be deliberately applied to succeed at things that other people have an easier time with. For me it also helps in areas that I've seen other people struggle in, but I think the key is in how intentionally you can apply yourself. So if you're already a Nat Geo Photographer or professional basejumper, you might look back after a diagnosis and think "that makes sense", but I don't think it would help me get there.

What seems at least somewhat true, is that if you're a person who can be employed arbitrarily and can connect your income directly to things that bring you value, you'll have an easier time in a capitalistic society than someone who needs to derive their motivation from the things they do all the time; with the exception of someone who is exceptionally talented and just falls into success as a consequence of the output of what they've been fixating on.

I'm a software developer I guess, which gives me a hypothetically high earning potential. But over the last 10 years, someone working a menial job for 30-40k would come out on top financially. I've had a hell of a lot more free-time than that person, which is very personally valuable, but it doesn't scale maybe even over more than one decade with such a tattered work history.
A fun read, but the title is somewhat misleading. Excerpts from the paper:

This is why (understanding how) AI (works) is hard.

This is why physics is (able to offer) simple (explanations for seemingly complicated natural phenomena)

The author is arguing that:

1. "top-down analysis" to deep learning is ineffective due to the nature AI.

2. It should be possible to use the "sparsity" principle from physics as "a guiding principle of deep learning theory"

Where the "sparsity" principle dicit:

The number of parameters defining a theory should be far less than the number of experiments that such a theory describes

..

Personally, I'm skeptical. I prefer to understand whole theater of ANN as an attempt to optimize neural-net for practicality. Even deep learning is a technique for structuring the network for efficient training.

I thinks so because even the most dumbest neural network - layers with high connectivity - can perform certain tasks, if we train it really really hard with fingers crossed. To avoid uncertainty and improve performance, it's necessary to structure the network. This cuts unnecessary computation, and prevents over-fitting and over-labeling.

That is, we have to inject bias to network, and this makes any bottom-up analysis biased and less generalizable.

Completely unrelated rant. Before Rust really takes off, can someone please, pretty please, for the love of "Bob" and all that is marginally donut-shaped, can somebody pleeeeeease tell the Rust community to adopt inheritance-focused hierarchical package naming conventions???

Way back in the day, in like, 1995, there was this thing called Perl. Perl was awesome. You'd think, "I want to make a custom LDAP client". And you'd look in CPAN for an LDAP module, and it'd be there (https://metacpan.org/pod/Net::LDAP), and you'd use it. A while later you realize you want to manipulate Active Directory SIDs. So you create a new module that inherits Net::LDAP, and publish it (https://metacpan.org/pod/Net::LDAP::SID).

On the plus side: everyone can install your module to get extra functionality with their existing code; people don't need to reinvent the wheel completely to do something a little different; and it's easy to see which module provides what/inherits from what.

On the down side: boring names for modules. (is that a downside?)
DIDs do not specify keys should be written to a public chain, another commented mentioned the VC spec.

Another thing to look at is the did:peer method, it allows you to have a direct connection with a party for secure communication. Either party could root their did against a public key (eg a public organisation) but that is not required.
This kind of thing destroys small-time landlords all the time. If you only have one rental property, you're one bad tenant away from incurring a loss that will take years to recoup.

Succeeding in the real estate game is all about numbers. Lots of properties in a variety of locales spread the risk of one individual tenant bankrupting you.
"Baseline expectation". I think it comes from poker or something
Can you identify these undeserving people? Can you do so at scale with reasonable expense, such that you don't end up spending the majority of your money determining who is "worthy" and who isn't?

If the answer to either of these is "no," then the question is fundamentally between helping everyone who's struggling (even those who don't deserve it), and helping no one. The former option might piss off a few fortunate people who could maintain rent (with sacrifices) during the pandemic, but the latter option would put many, many people and their dependents out on the street. The latter clearly creates far, far more pain and suffering than the former. Moreover, the former form of suffering is self-inflicted -- these fortunate people choose to feel resentment.

> Or to have trans people pick sports where physical strength is not at play like motor racing, shooting, chess, etc.

Even at those non-physical sports, men still have a big advantage, it shows in all of the sports you listed and e-sport.
Gender split in sports is there to protect women.
The men sport is actually a game for "the best of the best", I don't think there would be any complain if there's a woman (cis or trans) want to challenge that space.
Have you ever talked to any women about their experience with online dating? 100% of the women I have discussed it with would not agree with your claim that it is “massively biased” towards them; they find it just as miserable as we do.

> On the other hand: with UBI even the landlords in the middle of nowhere can demand higher rent, since everyone now has a spare $1000 per month

There are still no jobs there, so either those landlords keep the rent low enough that people can afford some kind of existence on UBI, or their houses stand empty (like they do at the moment). And competition would limit rent - on a national scale there is already a lot more housing than needed and the result is that rent is very low in flyover country, but people still can't afford to live there, whereas landlords in the cities that have jobs are currently a de facto oligopoly that can squeeze and squeeze.

> Laws of economy are like laws of physics: you cannot cheat them. All the UBI will do is it will raise the nominal prices of everything, but no poor person will be better off because of it.

At first order UBI is wealth transfer not wealth creation - the working poor will be better off, the middle/upper class will be worse off. At second order UBI unlocks a lot of real value that's currently a deadweight loss: people who could work for a few hours a week, but don't because that would lose them their benefits. It frees up the labour that's currently burned on complex benefit administration to be redirected to doing something productive instead. And by making it easier for people to change jobs, get training/education, or start a business, it increases labour efficiency.

There is no free lunch in economics, and if anyone tells you their policy will make people better off then you're right to ask where the brass tacks of that value creation actually lie. But UBI has some compelling answers.
The SiFive P550 is described as competing against the ARM Cortex A75 application processor, which was announced four years and one month ago.

Previous SiFive cores compete against the A72 (announced but not yet shipping that I know of) and A55/A53 (shipping in the BeagleV "StarLight" beta and HiFive Unmatched and probably unannounced embedded applications).

In the four years since the A75 ARM has announced the A76, A77, A78, and A710 as annual incremental improvements (the most recent of which are not available in products yet), plus in a new higher-end line the Cortex-X1 and X2.

So ARM is not standing still, but SiFive is catching them at approximately two years of ARM progress every year i.e. closing the gap by one year per year.
.chars() iterates over unicode scalar values, not actual grapheme clusters, so this code would also be incorrect in many circumstances. Ultimately it is incumbent on the developer to understand what their actual unicode-processing requirements are.
>If you're looking at NCAA athletes, lots of those sports are not represented in the Olympics.

Not really, just football and lacrosse. On the other hand, there're many Olympic events that are not a part of the NCAA.

>Also, because spots in the Olympics are limited, the "best" person isn't always chosen to represent a given country for a given sport.

I don't think this is particularly important on average. I'm just giving a quick and dirty lower bound here to put things into perspective.
If I approve of two candidates, but I like one more than the other, approval voting doesn’t seem to allow me to express that preference. Do I vote for both candidates, or only the one I like the most? As a naive voter who isn’t going to research that question, will I make the right choice?

I'm not sure why you claim that ranking requires less brain power. Ranking becomes especially burdensome as you have more candidates/options. On top of that ranked voting seems much simpler on the surface than it actually is. The actual calculation is quite opaque in comparison.

Amazon isn't a luxury brand.

And if there are any luxury brands Amazon sells (are there even?) where the brands demanded Amazon return returned items to the brand for destruction... well then it's the brand that's responsible, not Amazon.

Again, Amazon's just out there to make money. It's not going to destroy swathes of merchandise it can easily otherwise make money off of. That kind of goes against the whole profit motive.

I didn’t say that the hospital personnel were involved in the gender role—the parents would generally take the lead on that one, but they usually use the medical advice as a basis. Yes, it’s unusual for all these aspects (assigned sex at birth, phenotype, gender identity, and so on) to not match, but it’s useful to have separate terms for the cases in which they don’t—as in the case of our hypothetical 14-year-old.
