Here in Germany, we still have a lot of other fast food, like the local Döner shops, or local "Asian" shops selling mostly Chinese, Thai and/or Vietnamese dishes (usually their menus are a mix), or pizza-to-go places or the good old "Currywurstbude" (selling Currywurst of course, but usually things like Schnitzel and even burgers as well). Even my own minor city (about 250k people) also has a lot of other fast food (as in takeout and/or delivery not necessarily junk food) places on top of the usual assortment of Döner/Asian/Pizza/Currywurst. "Downtown" has a Kurdish place, a Lebanese place, a Mongolian BBQ, a Croatian place, a bunch of Indian and Pakistani places, two or three Sushi places, and I am sure a lot of others that I don't really know about. And that's not even counting the places operating as "real" restaurants.

I know a few people who go to McD because "you know what you'll get", but I personally never felt the need, the competition is better in taste more often than not, and McD are not even cheaper than most of the alternatives, sometimes even more expensive. The last time I was at McD was when I was stranded at some small train station some years ago and didn't have the time to look around and just settled with the McD located right in the station building (I would have gone with the Burger King in the same building, but it was closed for renovations). That's when I found out that the quality of their fries took a slump, at least in my humble opinion.

Personally, I'd rather have a Dürüm from a Döner shop, or Pho Tron from one of the Asia places, or maybe some Masala from an Indian place.

Wealthy parents will still define higher standards, because they will send their kids to private schools where more advanced math is taught (e.g. Phillips Exeter Academy teaches calculus to all students and offers linear algebra, statistics, and discrete math to advanced students.[1]).

Instead of opening up opportunities for all the kids, this will ensure that no poor student can compete because the courses won't even be available.

So I have lockwise but I have two different firefox identities/profiles to separate work and personal. I'm an Apple eco-system person, but keychain/icloud ties itself to my login/apple user id.

Anyone know of a password manager that:

a) integrates and is native in MacOS

b) integrates in iOS

c) synchronizes across platforms

d) allows for separation of identities and selection when autofilling in

1) browsers

2) iOS applications
I think its important to add, with open group membership to that definition.

> the last native ruler of Egypt

What exactly does "native" mean in this context? The entire Mediterranean coast was the equivalent of a highway off-ramp for as long as boats have been a thing, which is far longer ago than the 4th century BC. I'm no Egyptologist, but given that there were 32 different dynasties (supposedly), I assume some "foreign" conquest must have been involved on more than one occasion in the millennia the Egyptian kingdoms existed. It's an area where Internet search provides no quality results, so if you can help clarify I'd greatly appreciate it.
People need to learn to make their own mistakes. It's an anti-pattern. Just ignore it.
Some history: FeBo stands for 'Ferdinand Bol', a street in the 'Pijp' district of Amsterdam, where it originated. When I was a small child (1971, 6 yo) we moved into that neighborhood and I remember them from then. My mom expressly forbidding us kids from eating whatever they offered because it was deemed to be just one small notch above garbage.

And I'm not sure that that wasn't on the money with respect to what goes into their frikandellen and kroketten.

> I've heard that before. "look at X, it's the Next Silicon Valley".

Yeah. I don’t think it will be the next Silicon Valley. I do think it will be the center of startup ecosystem 2.0.

I personally think the biggest difference in startup ecosystem 2.0 will be the lack of Silicon Valley-style VCs. Whatever money is used to fuel the fly wheel will have a fundamentally different approach to investing, at least in the beginning.

I’m not sure what your investments are, but if SV works for you, then stick with it. The startup ecosystem 2.0 probably will not be a good fit for you or them.

I think the reverse repo situation sheds some light on why this wasn't happening as much earlier: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/RRPONTSYD/

Put simply there's now a glut of money that is waiting to be invested via loans in anything that has a good ROI with low enough risks. In the past due to higher interest rates and various other factors (including regulatory) this glut of money just didn't exist before.

If Amazon will make an impact, I think it'll be because IPv6 addresses follow the standard rates and IPv4 addresses will get more expensive.

Cannibalising reserved address space like 127.0.0.0/8 will only get the IPv4 internet so far. Eventually, the scarcity of IP addresses will make IPv6 the more business-conscious choice for many applications (like API endpoints and other services that you call from your own infrastructure where you can ensure IPv6 availability). Maybe the free tier will eventually stop coming with an IPv4 address, that might also push them over the edge.

But If a doctor prescribed the drug, why would the pharmacy refuse it?

At a micro level, the doctors have the same access as pharmacies to know prior drug usage and are the ones directing the pharmacy.

At a macro level, are the pharmacies supposed to work together to combine data sources to find the trends? That sounds like a HIPAA nightmare.

A better approach is to have a government agency watch for trends in drug usage. This is exactly what the DEA is supposed to be doing, so why aren’t they at fault.
I think your example could be seen as designing as a team, its just one person who does the writing, but everyone who needed to be involved was involved.

On a smaller scale I've worked in teams where when someone picked up a story, for certain cases we would first do a rough outline of the implementation and then take that to one or two devs from the team, just to talk about how to tackle the problem. Not a meeting, just five minutes of "here's what I think would work". Its hard but good alignment before writing code really helps with finding the errors in a design.
If I remember my history well Egypt was basically like China: a more or less coherent empire that was however many times conquered and reconquered or had internal political takeovers. So you may be right that 342 is a better date but some could probably argue that an even earlier one should be taken, e.g. when the various mesopotamian empires conquered it. On the other hand the Roman takeover seems to be when Egypt truly became a vassal and lost its independence.
>I also think bitcoin is stupid.

Yeah, perhaps. Is it more or less stupid than almost every country having a military, some of which alone cause more CO2 pollution than BTC? Some of which have the capability of destroying all humans in 30 minutes? Some of which are actually trying to improve that capability right now?

I mean sure, the waste of mining is pretty dumb, but it's gonna be replaced with less wasteful methods at some point. But when are we gonna replace militaries?

It's like telling a joke. The ending should be unexpected and inevitable.

Cut it as short as possible. Otherwise they get too confused to anticipate endings or may already get the ending if you give too many details. People sort of want to figure it out themselves and be surprised.

If you put it in an article form, and someone can comment on it without reading the article, it's not a good story.

Inevitable means that the ending was obvious in hindsight.

Three act structure is one way of splitting it into multiple parts to keep them hooked. But you can have multiple tension points within a few minutes, Toy Story is a great example of this.

If there was a mixed program where you could either choose to have your children under Equitable Math or Common Core (the current standard which is adopted by the majority of US states), that would risk Equitable Math being framed as the way to fall behind. That's why the central contention is not about improving Common Core, but rather about whether all children should always be at the same level.

Sometimes children benefit from a delay, and other children benefit by moving ahead; but all children deserve the opportunity to advance according to their individual math ambition and ability. Under Equitable Math, all children must be at the same level up until the last year.

This is a huge win for private schools and after-school programs such as RSM.

Does anyone have an educated guess as to whether we'd now understand hieroglyphics without the Rosetta Stone? I know other phonetic languages with likely fewer available documents have been decoded without such a tool, but at least from a laypersons perspective the pictographs would male it much more complicated. I guess Demotic would allow one to workaround that hurdle.
I skimmed the paper you linked. It establishes a correlations between nutrition and height. But the analysis specifically adjusted the data 'for age, gender, ethnicity and birth weight', i.e.

- the paper didn't claim that nutrition could fully override genetic factors, and

- they acknowledged that adult height is correlated with ethnicity (hence the need to adjust for ethnicity before calculating correlations)
Even for someone like me who is on that track, it wasn't coming to mind when I saw "IC". I had no idea what it meant.

Yeah, and for some reason McD thinks you need a technician to fix something hard like "container overfilled" or something. And apparently even Taylor thinks this is stupid. Sounds like an "ok boomer" moment. (or maybe something involving financial incentives, can't exclude that)

I think that a much stronger argument here goes like this.
A developer accepted those terms of services. That developer is not authorized to accept contracts / deals for the company as a whole.

The issue here is that a single employee (which may carry out an unauthorized action) is unlikely to create a binding contract for a company.

Otherwise, by the same token, NSO can create a EULA that says that a use of their software requires 100 millions USD / month cost. Get an Apple employee to agree to that (probably unknowingly) and sue Apple for that amount, since their employee "agreed" to that.

No. I'm seriously posting a paper by the director of the University College of London Genetics Institute.

So yes, there are multiple lines of evidence. This isn't even remotely controversial. You're arguing that the sky is red, and your only counter-argument to the evidence otherwise is incredulity.

> are there any actual sequenced, dated samples from Italy in December? That's the standard of evidence here, not some crappy antigen test or unsequenced amplification hit.

I mean, you're inventing "standards of evidence" here, but as long as you're asking: yes. Dated, PCR-confirmed wastewater samples in Italy were purified by gel electrophoresis and sequenced.

It's odd how most people that haven't used a VM with GC are amazed by Go (no VM) and WASM (no GC) but still fail to understand that with a GC _AND_ VM you can code something that doesn't crash even if you make a big mistake!

To use anything other than JavaSE/C# on the server you really need very good arguments!

> If you have a lot of microallocations, then your program is going to be slow regardless of you using manual memory management, RAII or a tracing GC.

No, that's no true. Tracing GC is mainly O(f(live stuff)), not O(f(dead stuff)), so there is basically no problem making lot's of garbage if you don't have any exotic latency requirements.

> Another reason is eliminating unnecessary pointer indirection, which helps make sure that instead of loading data with two MOVs from memory polluting the cache, you need only one.

Uh, that is locality, what I started with, no?

> I'm leaning towards a GC-based design that relies a lot on value types.

That sounds good.

Compacting GC makes locality less of a problem than one that would think with the old Java/Haskell style, but yes we in Haskell also want unboxed types (the name I prefer) to have more control.

In cases where if one traverses the parent they almost certainly traverse the child (e.g. from map nodes to their keys (not child maps nodes) they area good fit, as with long live objects.

----

The overall lesson here is that Haskell/Java programs can be surprising fast and not memory thrashing, but for reasons that are quite surprising. Two Haskell and Rust programs can feel similar in what they mean and how they are written, but then be fast for very, very different reasons.
Clash does generate Verilog or VHDL but the only reason it does this is to interface with vendor tooling.

HLS generally means you compile a very high level description of computation to VHDL/Verilog. This high level description doesn't contain hardware details like registers, ram usages, pipelining etc. During the process of HLS the synthesis tool will try to translate this description to a digital circuit. It will itself place registers, rams pipeline as necessary.

That is the reason HLS doesn't reach the performance of VHDL/Verilog, these HLS tools just aren't as good as a human making the digital circuit.

Clash is not itself coming up with a digital circuit like HLS is doing. The developer is specifying the digital circuit. Just like with VHDL or Verilog. It's just an alternative way of writing it.
> The advice here is pretty basic: nothing happens in your board meeting. Your board meeting is scripted. The board members should have seen the information presented before the meeting (and not just because you sent the deck—half of them won’t read it beforehand—you must talk to them.) And you should know beforehand how each board member will react to the information presented. If there are decisions to be made, you already know how each board member will decide, because you told them about the decision to be made and they told you what they will decide. No surprises

This is, honestly, how one should aim for pretty much any -formal- meeting to run - as a high trust means to make a pre-existing consensus common knowledge to all the participants.

(things like design brainstorms are a completely different category, hence the 'formal' qualifier to try and make that clear)
The tree conversion does not affect performance at all. It is only done on DOS attacks, which almost never occur. Counting the collisions is almost for free.

The optimizations are cache friendly open-addressing with linear probing, storing the hash, and power of 2 sizes. Another usual optimization would be a sorted array instead of the linked list.

Negotiating compensation if I was given their range during first round?
I got an offer for a mid-level product manager role!

However, the range the recruiter told me would be $110k-$125k during my first round interview and I was offered $105k base salary with a $20k bonus. I don't recall if the recruiter gave the range as a base salary or total comp.

Also, the start date is in Dec 6. I have travel plans Dec 7-14 and pretty much all throughout Xmas eve until New years day. I can cancel my earlier Dec trip if I have to but I really don't want to cancel my Xmas/New years trip since it's all family I haven't seen since the pandemic started. Ideally, I'd want a start date of Jan 3 after all my travel is done.

So two questions:

1. How should I ask about the salary/compensation?

2. How do I negotiate for a Jan 3 start date due to my travel plans? They'll be planned out for a while, before I even the first round.
