Granted, it’s a micro benchmark without a lot of context, but wouldn’t the conclusion that the default HashMap implementation is, on average, faster than all the open addressing implementations contradict this conclusion?

Honestly, I thought the same about the whole Perseverance landing sequence on Mars. But now it's done, and the rover is running around doing its thing.

So, what I learned is that single points of failure on initial deployment -- which by definition only has to run once -- is a drastically different cost vs risk calculation than something that happens during normal operations.

When I use something from a distribution, I trust the distribution as organization. When I use something packaged by a developer, I trust the developer. I cannot verify thousands of developers, so I must trust the distribution and I can trust few developers or packagers outside of distribution.

> Alcohol relapse statistics are on a much higer sample given how widespread it is, whereas for G the sample is much smaller.

Does that imply we can never compare smaller data sets with larger ones? GHB is becoming a huge issue in the Netherlands to the point that there aren't enough rehab spots. So I would assume the amount of data is not insignificant and can therefore be compared.

> Alcohol does that to a whole lot of people who technically don't relapse....but don't breath anymore either.

So does GHB.

> G doesn't cause any liver, heart, kidney, cardiac, valvular, stomach, arterial, testicular damage, so of course people will come back for more.

You retort to my argument was that the data set for GHB was much smaller. How does that not matter with your argument?

Also, GHB is associated with cognitive changes and potential brain damage. So you might come back for more, but you won't be the same person:

Which part can't you measure? You can measure relapse percentages. You can measure addiction rates. You can measure the length of an addiction. You can measure the physiological and metal impact of an addiction.

And it's not like nobody is doing that either.

Russia is clearly willing to fuck with energy supplies for strategic reasons, like preventing a vigorous response to the invasion of Crimea, or future sanctions against Belarus, or whatever else. Building dependence on Russia is obviously a bad idea given their current leadership.

How could a specific typewriter be tracked from a typed document?
OP is referencing an open air habitat so a comparison with the ISS doesn't make sense. Open air designs do actually work once you scale up the size of the habitat enough. This is where we get the idea of Bishop rings which use a wall a hundred or so km in height to keep the air in. Mckendree cylinders (which are a supersized version of O'Neil cylinders) can also have end caps that are open provided you have a high enough wall.

The main advantage of open air designs is it allows you to use aerobreaking when approaching the habitat which could be a significant save in fuel.
My biggest issue with the feedback I receive in a work setting is that it's not /actionable/. One of the things I inculcated in my practices as an operations engineer was to never trigger an alert that wasn't immediately actionable, because it trains operators to ignore alerts. Alerts are not informational, they are interruptions. Feedback is the same thing. I don't want informational feedback, that's something you should be getting regularly outside normal windows. Feedback is an interruption, and interruptions should be actionable.

I have never once been bothered by how soft or blunt the feedback I received was. I have never had my feelings hurt. I have, however, been consistently frustrated by receiving feedback which is effectively meaningless. I want to improve in my career so I get promoted, so I can gain the political capital in the organization necessary to be effective, and so I can succeed and improve my social standing, all very human and very normal desires. If your feedback doesn't help me to actionably reach those goals, and you as a manager who help determined promotion outcomes aren't leading me to a promotion by following your feedback, then you are doing me a disservice and I will likely eventually quit and move on out of frustration.

It's pretty much that simple. Don't soften it, don't be an asshole, just provide feedback that is actually actionable and useful. If you have no actionable feedback, say nothing.
I respectfully disagree.

For policies like the ones being discussed, assumptions are being made that everyone involved is making their own decisions. I’m refuting the claim that every pregnancy is the result of informed decisions.

Other gray zones include things like “either my marriage is over or I’m going to try to get pregnant”, or even “I was told I was infertile”, because those are going to truly muddy the issue.
Exactly.

Looking at some discussions the open-jdk team had, they decided to continue with Separate Chaining. I don't have the link, but then I got interested to see how some Open Addressing (nothing fancy) will behave in Java, so this is the reason I've written this "article".

Unfortunately I coudln't beat HashMap with the "classic" approach, but I got close. I am curious to see a better implementation that brings more engineering tricks on the table.

I think this is the first NamedPipes tutorial in C# that I've ever seen that doesn't do things completely wrong by using a StreamWriter or StreamReader. Of course, that's because it uses another library that wraps all the tricky bits of NamedPipes that everybody always does wrong -> https://github.com/HavenDV/H.Pipes

NamedPipes are sweet for doing same-machine IPC on Windows, that is for sure, but the built-in API is full of footguns.

I know I’m late to the party, but I wanted to let you know you’re an idiot in the kindest of ways.

No, there is no difference between a person and a factory. A factory is many people, so change your equivalence to “my suburb” or “my town”, by the time you get to “my city” there are hundreds of studies that prove car usage has much more widespread health effects - they’re slower to materialize and lifelong, but they also impact 100% of people over a much wider area.

You also assume electric vehicles are inherently better, which is a shockingly common logical fallacy. Where does the power come from? Once you trace that back, based on a geographical area, you can start to make comparisons.

For instance a lot of power (to your house and the car you’re charging in the garage, to the city’s charging points, to the Tesla charging points), still comes from burning coal or things like shale (particularly in certain areas of Europe). Know what you’ve done with your “green” EV? Take the pollution you spread out across the city/county/state/country and concentrate it around the local power plant.

What about the oil that lubes the moving parts? The tires? The metals in the batteries? The acid in the batteries?

And now you, your family, your friends, are all basically as bad as the chemical plant. Still sleeping ok at night up on your high horse?

Since humans already survive, they do not. Just like humans already can move from point A to point B without cars or planes, humans survive without artificial hearts. So those things are hobbies in the same way cars and planes are toys.

A farmer carried a baby bull calf across his field every day. As each day passed, the calf grew a little more and became slightly heavier. Just a little bit more weight each day.

By the time the calf had become a bull, the farmer was so strong he could carry a bull the length of his field while talking on his cell phone.

Two reductive takes do not a complex one make.

Labor saving home appliances, changes in family size, and convenience foods are a pretty big deal for how people of any gender spend their time. Time spent cleaning has decreased, and been replaced with other activities. Parenting has changed a lot and become much more intensive.

Then those are problems to solve with social policy. Solving poverty by walking technology backwards isn't a solution. Technology is too powerful. Whichever society would be the first to renounce technology would also be the last because everyone else would say "Oh, that's why we like washing machines and self-driving cars".

And let's just say we lived in a unified society somehow. The net suffering of all peoples could only be alleviated by progressing technology forward and proper social policy. Removing one doesn't help solve the problem.

Looking at these images, I can't help but feel that any real space colony like this will be like Singapore on steroids.

For all its issues, Earth is actually pretty resilient. To ability to destroy civilization is pretty much limited to very large nation states.

Not so in a spinning space colony. A small group could easily destroy it. Thus, there will be ubiquitous surveillance and huge social and legal pressure towards "correct" behavior.
I don't think people are saying fewer robots are the solution. What I hear is words of warning, to be mindful of how the resulting gains and "freedom" are distributed. The goal of is (or at least should be) to reduce suffering, not merely reallocate it.
It's similar but a little different, as it is usually shorter (you need to pay it in a set number of installments over a fixed schedule, like 4 weeks) and there's no interest if you pay on time, at least with Klarna. I have no idea how they make money (maybe they make some money from the interchange?) but that's the gist of their business model.
That's not clear at all. There is no reason to believe that Mechner's warning is narrowly referring to the trademark rights, rather than, you know, "rights of any kind".

For the motor: A lot more insulation on the coil windings mostly. Higher voltage usually means less copper needed and more insulation. Boosting voltage from batteries is pretty easy. Either using a transformer on the motor controller or putting enough cells in series to get the voltage you want. There are also methods using inductors and PWM to get a boosted voltage.

750 volts is actually fairly low. Siemens makes some 3-6 kilovolt HV motors.

>> - Security: you are trusting random developers on the Internet to handle security of all the dependencies in a flatpack, forever. Most do not provide security updates at all.

> As opposed to what?

Opposed to distributions providing targeted updates to each package.

> Dynamic linking does not solve this problem, contrary to popular belief.

On the contrary it provably works very well for distributions.

>>- Long term maintenability: your desktop becomes a random mashup of applications with increasing complexity that you have to maintain yourself.

>Again, as opposed to what?

Opposed to distributions that do the huge work of packaging, testing, backporting etc.

>>- Licensing issues: distros review licenses (and find plenty of copyright violations while doing so). A flatpak puts you or your company at risk.

>Sounds like a good way for a proprietary software to be distributed...

This is unrelated to the lack of licensing review.

>>- Impact on the ecosystem: the more users switch to opaque blobs the less testing and review is done for proper packages. The whole ecosystem become more vulnerable to supply chain attacks.

>I don't see how one follows the other.

Supply chain attacks are strongly mitigated by maintainers doing vetting and packaging, and by distribution doing release freezing.

I dont understand, does he want the technical staff to sell because he doesnt have a sales team or is it that the staff were not creating a commercial project? If thats was the case then why didnt he or other management step in and do something about it? If Brexit was a problem why didnt they just relocate to Berlin, Paris or Stockholm?

Or is this all to do with the much higher ratings tech companies receive in the US?

For me it was faster on average and with less variance. But the micro-benchmarks are flawed by default, so I believe it's room to improve them.

Also maybe there are some tricks that can be done, to have a faster Open Addressing implementation in Java.

Digression: what's your usecase for having multiple processes share the same database ?

SQLite is not an equivalent to a standard networked database, as a developer you're supposed to see it as an enhanced data structure, like an array++. You wouldn't share an array between multiple processes (unless you know exactly what you're doing) so you wouldn't do the same for SQLite. If you really need multiple processes writing the same kind of data, maybe it should be partitioned into multiple independent files ?

Thanks for your answer. The Rust COC is certainly short and concise, which I prefer if we really need them at all that is. There certainly are also situations where moderation can keep things on topic. When I say moderation I mostly mean tone policing or sanctioning certain views, not the removal of spam or memes that dillute a topic, although the latter at some point comes down to opinion too.

I had this 2 star repos for a niche problem with perhaps 2-3 visitors per month and someone quite aggressively suggested that I should put one up. At the same time more an more projects put one up and I wondered where this push in OSS came from.

Suddenly projects needed committees to enforce some form of weird compliance. I just think it didn't improve conduct in any community that I saw. Not that you have to look very far to find eccentric personalities but I never thought that to be a problem, on the contrary.
