I second the recommendation for "Foundations of Computer Science." (and for the other books as well, but wanted to highlight it.)

For a second or third book, consider 'Algorithm Design Manual', Skiena. I find it more approachable than the MIT Intro to Algorithms.

Also, 'The C Programming Language' remains one of my favorites for a pragmatic approach to learning how to say things to a computer, a great balance to learning the theory. There's a reason 'Hello World' has become so widely known that it's a cliche. But there is plenty of great advice there no matter what language you're in.
Regarding your last statement, and depending on how much experience you have with the software-dev side, you may find you have more options than you expect. Lots of folks seem to be looking for software devs at the moment, and I personally would see the mathematics background as a potential bonus (even if not directly applicable it generally suggests a certain amount of rigorous consideration that is beneficial for software development as well). There appear to be quite a few remote options (see the "who's hiring" discussions) but also, if you're willing to relocate, my employer would likely be interested. E-mail me at my username @ gmail.com if you'd like more details/to discuss further.

I used to play on a specific cod multi-player server back when cod was only a single title. Knew handles of people on the server even though I didn't socialize much (would say hi and the like but nothing much more than that).

My second year of college my roommate and I were chatting and found out we both frequented that server and knew each other by our handles.

Even though I didn't use the dedicated servers as a social mechanism, just hanging out and playing with/against each other for countless hours was enough to seed a lasting friendship when we did meet irl.

It doesn't make any difference which language you use; the security promises are coming from the verifier, which is analyzing the CFG of the compiled program. C is what most people use, since the underlying APIs are in C, and since the verifier is so limiting that most high-level constructions are off the table.

If the free market alone can't reliably provide innovation, what other arguments are left for it?
Several things to keep in mind:

- you can admire some people you consider enemies;

- you can admire some people and still wish that they fail, or consider some of their actions bad;

- you can admire some people that are despised by other people in your country;

- America put her in a camp for years during the war;

- people are more complicated than black and white heroes and vilains.

Maybe there's something in here that's going over my head, but recently it's seemed our culture wants more than anything to destroy its past. We do not seem to hold it in very high regard.

I don't know how much I believe that car travel is so drastically superior to public transit. Cars are definitely more comfortable, but I still think that most people prefer a moderate walk to a short ride. We do have one thing we can look at as a comparison: trains. People still don't like long train rides where you have pretty convenient access to food and drinks - along with a comfortable temperature and spacious seating.
> Somehow the mold issue appears to be solved by now as a house-painter told me recently.

I'm not persuaded that the issue of mold simply disappeared. It might be the type of foam they use nowadays, or the way they insulate the houses. For example, I've seen houses insulated from the front and not from the back. At first, I thought it was a cost cutting measure, i.e. "look good, be cheap," but it's actually so common that I don't think that's the answer.

Molds can become toxic in extreme cases, and once they appear, it's amazingly difficult to get rid of them. It's possible that in a town that's highly historic, there are companies that specialize in insulating historical buildings (though I assumed that the vast majority of historical buildings in Germany was destroyed during the wars).

As a side note, I'm not saying it cannot be done. My point was that it was far from "slap some foam around the house". I'd love my building to be insulated.

Because they were seen as lesser artistic outlets than cinema due to the rigidity of television schedules and advertising. These days, it's the Netflix series that gives you the most artistic freedom. You can make any number of episodes of any length to tell your story and you're free to appeal to a niche audience. Movies are forced into a relative narrow length window and business constraints force you to appeal to an international audience.

The creativity is still there. It's just in a different place.

Clapper wasn't asked a vague question and he didn't answer ambiguously. There is no room for "how incredibly different human perceptions can be". Clapper was asked a direct question in sworn testimony before Congress and brazenly lied. Repeatedly.

> Some years ago when we retired the last machines that didn't support SSE2, adding a flag to allow the compiler to generate SSE2 instructions had a big time and cost savings for our simulations.

That's kind of a special case, though. Without SSE2, you're using x87 for floating-point numbers, and even using scalar floating point on x87 is going to be a fair bit slower than using scalar floating point SSE instructions. Of course, enabling SSE also allows you to vectorize floating point at all, but you'll still be seeing improvements just from scalar SSE instead of x87.
The reason I'd like part 1 (tell them what you're going to tell them) is it helps me answer the question, "Is this relevant and interesting enough to me to spend the time reading it?"

In a sense, I need part 1 because I'm not a captive audience. If this were (say) a lecture in a college class, then it's a foregone conclusion that I'm using the time, so I might as well pay attention.

But since it's a web article, I have the choice to keep reading or close the browser tab. I'd prefer to be able to make an informed choice.

Not by then. After Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis had their explosive starts in the late 50s (that went into pauses with cousin-marrying and military service), white music was determined to market versions of them with all the implications of blackness stripped out. Instead, you had teen idols and white doo wop groups singing "Mister Sandman, bring me a dream..." White rock and roll is dead until the British invasion, who consisted of people who gleefully mined US race/blues records (and Elvis, and Jerry Lee Lewis), and fed it back to Americans.

That's a bit of what the movie Hairspray was about. The pause, that is.

edit: honestly, rock and roll probably would have died then if it weren't for the British Invastion. The kids were getting into folk.

No it's not. It's pointing out the absurdity of saying that people aren't free because police can arrest, and in the cas of violent offenders, kill people. If that's the case then nobody is really free. Every country has a police force that has authority to use lethal force.

Of course somebody in North Korea is less free than somebody living in the US. And of course it doesn't mean that we shouldn't address those cases where the police use force without just cause.
For mechanical stuff (dis/reasembling equipment) it makes some sense, because diagrams are never as good as an HD video at showing where that screw hole is or how to pop off a clip. At the same time, I can't watch most of those videos at less than 1.5x!

Often, the first google hit on "how to do X" is a video when, as you say, a bulleted list would be easier to follow. Maybe ads are better monetized on video so the incentive is only to create that content?
> It's truly understated how difficult the Send + Sync requirements in Tokio are for writing regular code. It's typically rare for async tasks in Tokio to be used across two threads simultaneously, but now all of your data must be Send+Sync.

https://docs.rs/tokio/1.14.0/tokio/task/fn.spawn_local.html

> Plus, Tokio is unique in that it's one of the very few runtimes in existence that's work-stealing (meaning the task can move off its original thread). Most other runtimes in other languages do not have that requirement, meaning you can use traditional Cell/RefCell/Rc instead of their slower, atomic variants.

Most other languages don't have any concept of Send/Sync, or non-atomic Cell/RefCell/Rc. Rather than the compiler stopping you you only find out about the issue when you hit it, and if you're lucky you can skate by a long long while (or alternatively the language has no way to sync and everything's send).

Work-stealing runtimes may be more common than you think because of that: Erlang's BEAM, Go's scheduler(s), Java's fork/join, .net's TPL, many most if not all OpenMP implementations, Apple's GCD, ... implement work-stealing in various measures.

Also... thread-per-core makes work-stealing even more necessary because the OS can't perform the balancing? The only ways to avoid work-stealing eventually becoming necessary (for a general-purpose scheduler) is either to have a completely single-threaded scheduler, or to not have an application-level scheduler at all and use OS threads.

Seems shady though.

Albeit if you just click through nothing does actually get installed but the product you want. And then Avast tries to install Google Chrome also.

In fact, PHEVs are arguably simpler, because the engine is tuned to the generator (which has a consistent RPM / Torque curve).

Having an engine run at one singular RPM / Torque band is much easier than ICE, which commonly needs to deliver power from ~1500 RPM to 6000 RPM.
D3 and Data Visualization Insights with Mike Bostock
Apple and Google together have 95% market share.

From the perspective of an Android user, a lot of the alternatives are interesting. Especially F-Droid.

From the perspective of the app developer, it doesn't work. You use Apple and Google or you lose 95% of the market.

And the same constraint keeps it that way. You lose most of the Android market if you're not in Google Play, so nearly everything that isn't explicitly banned can be found in Google Play, so most users have no occasion to install any other app store and the friction to developers using another one to the exclusion of Google Play remains high.

They're not actually for that, it's just rhetoric for their followers. What the Republicans are actually for is authoritarian state power, a society entirely for the wealthy and ethno-christian values.

"small govt" is just a talking point used to justify cutting social spending and bailouts for wealthy donors.
> Google can block your email, while if eth wants to block you it will have to fork the Blockchain. Fair to say that is an enormously higher bar

How do you think that works? Google can refuse to do business with you but that doesn't mean you can't use a different email provider.

Similarly, if your particular identifier is on some kind of list, changing from an email address to another public identifier doesn't force anyone to allow you access they weren't otherwise planning to give you. If your email address ends up on a list of known spammers, etc. there's no reason why a blockchain address won't go the same way (and if the answer is “I'll keep making new ones”, ask how that's gone for email spam).

> 'normal persons' will have to change habits. In the physical world, you can lose a coin , irreversibly. Same goes for the virtual. There are no ready made solutions. Lets not assume people are stupid and inflexible, they can adapt to new realities provided the benefits outweigh the drawbacks

I'm not assuming they're stupid and inflexible, I'm assuming they're not going to give you money to use a new system which doesn't give them something in return. For example, your conflation of losing a coin with losing control of a wallet is leaving out a lot: if I lose a quarter on the street, I'm out a tiny amount of money but I don't also permanently lose my life savings, mortgage, and ability to login to web sites as in your proposed alternative.

Once you start thinking seriously about real-world usage, you see why even most cryptocurrency proponents pay companies to deal with those issues for them and those banks in all but name are going to be what most people end up using for compliance reasons.
So my problem with CLRS is that a lot of the content is in the exercises. There are places in the text where it says, "refer back to solution to problem 34", etc. The problem is, there are no answers to exercises to be found - and the exercises are so open-ended there's no way to check to see if you actually got the right answer or not. IMHO, CLRS (or any educational text that doesn't make exercise answers available) is one of the worst options for self-study.
You can tell their 'contributions' are not in good faith if you follow any downstream project that actually tries to build (or even just build against) their open-source code.

Lots of it requires proprietary tools to build, source releases lag way behind their binary counterparts, sources and headers sometimes just disappear with new versions, lots of downstream patches and hacks are required to get things working, etc.

Every project that actually tries to build Darwin (the open-source components of the OS) into a usable (headless) OS has foundered, and often the death blow is Apple just ceasing to release required sources. Whenever one such project is kinda working it seems to be just barely getting by.

I'm honestly not. Desktop platforms like Windows are incredibly niche. How much rust software actually runs on those? Some, of course. But probably an incredible minority.

Supporting them is smart because people expect it, and not supporting it would be bad optics, but if a language legitimately only targeted Linux, and was better for it, I'd be fine with that - they target the most popular OS by far.

The point is not that they are rational, but that you can't deem the whole crypto market irrational (what the parent does) just because it has NFTs, because then you'd have to deem the regular market irrational too because it has picture collectors.

Both markets have some degree of irrationality, and the parent did not show that cryptos have more of it to justify preference of the regular market over crypto.

But it does have history that we can use: what are its consistencies over the past couple centuries? Genocides and decimations and coups of democratically-elected leaders. Stealing technology and basically every other transgression the US accuses of China. The nearly ritualistic abuse and/or murder of nonwhite residents (and otherwise) with regularity.

What achievements justify the crimes it commits? For how long can it claim youth as an excuse?

Ah, but the US also produces "The Bachelorette," and McDonald's, so it's really a wash.
It's going to get a lot less hot and noisy than a similarly specced 3060 laptop while also having vastly better battery life, which is worth something (varies depending on one's personal priorities). I would imagine a lot of people looking for portable power might value those qualities enough to trade away some raw graphical muscle.
> You only need to save caller saved registers fs your context switching routine uses the conventional ABI, but that's not a requirement.

If you request a task switch from C or any high level language that has the concept of caller-saved registers and the compiler has no knowledge of your task switching system (vast majority of cases) you will be forced to pay an extra cost. Is there a practical system in common use that is able to elide register-saves that you’re referring to? Or is your point essentially that you don’t have save caller-saved/live registers in the theoretical case that you have no caller-saved/live registers?
