I don't think there is much one can do on their own. Even our relatives can't help because most countries closed their borders and aerospace and tech firms are not inclined to hire Russians right now. I for one could not get any kind of ways to evacuate.
I don't think this sufficiently addresses why invading Ukraine is necessary to achieve the stated CBDC goal. As Dictator-for-Life, why couldn't Putin just pull what the PRC did and just create a WeChat clone?
> instead of making better phone than Nokia he would make something that no one at Nokia or anywhere else even dreamed of.

The interesting thing about the iPhone is that people assume that was always the vision when in fact it was an idea that evolved and matured through the R&D process. Just as Android started out as a camera OS and pivoted to smart phones, the iPhone started out as a tablet, which was already a market that Apple, Microsoft and many others had several attempts at cracking.

It's very easy to assume someone is brilliant if you assume they didn't go through the same iterations that everyone else did. Iterations of trial and error before hitting upon brilliance.

Jobs was great at marketing. He had some great people work under him. But he also had plenty of swing and misses too. I would say perhaps he was better at pivoting failures early than most CEOs but I don't think that's true either.
Russia has allegedly lost two generals as well, one of whom was the Chief of Staff the army. I doubt they were seen as expendable.

Thanks for the response, and the article =D

This is some really cool work you've done here, lot of neat ideas
I agree it's a serious issue that should be taken seriously. The statutory value approach is one of many possible ways to address it, though. It leans on other laws for theft, larceny, vandalism, or destruction of property with a fictional sum rather than just making the theft or destruction its own offense. I'm not aware of places that take both approaches, but those may exist. Prosecutors do like having options, including bringing multiple charges for the same act.

Not quite. This is causing a relative risk of someone getting arrested in Russia, to create a minuscule chance that this person out of 150 million russians can make a difference in the public opinion, and the minuscule chance that a shift in public opinion in Russia can have any consequence at all on the war in Ukraine.

Try visiting "about:serviceworkers" and unregistering any service workers from Twitter. I seem to remember that this improves the situation.
Theoretically I think that’s possible. In a practical setting it is not since task arrival times are of a probability distribution; this means that utilization is not 100% and therefore queues do not grow to infinity. Given the author’s point about ~80% and above being bad, I imagine the immediate processing scenario to still be pathological.

Wait, you had card catalogs where you took the cards out of the drawer? I grew up with card catalogs where there was a metal rod at the bottom of each drawer that ran through holes in the bottom of the cards. There were cards for author, title and subject with multiple subject card possible for each book. The CIP blocks on the copyright pages of books list all the possible subject headings.

And I've been thinking that I don't use the subject indexes on the online catalog anywhere near enough. They can surface things that the standard keyword search might miss or bury among irrelevant results.

You are the second one who assumed that, its the missing "some" right?

>It seems to me that among the moral outrage people kind of lost touch with reality.

I tried to convey that it seems to me that some people, some willfully some in an emotional tailspin some simply distracted, care more about the story then its implications in reality.

edit: Meaning that while it isnt mutually exclusive, it seems to be the reason some people do it. Which isnt surprising since its an emotional reaction that requires effort and the will to keep out of a rational consideration. Its a behavior i keep noticing but havent found a good description for yet. Sorry for the confusion.
Certainly, that's why I responded. Tech salaries are becoming bimodal (or even "trimodal" [1]), and different types of companies are targeting different segments of the talent market. This skews the perception people have on what is actually a market rate, so it's important to spread awareness...

AMD vows to fix Ryzen chip stuttering issues on Windows with new update
Yes, in fact GPUs are perfect for this. Here is a Monte Carlo financial simulation I built in WebGL 2. https://james.darpinian.com/money/ (Warning, programmer UI) It performs one million Monte Carlo runs instantly every time you move a slider. Each run is one execution of a pixel shader and they all happen in parallel.

WebGPU will make this kind of thing more accessible. It's kind of a pain to do it in WebGL, but even so it's still totally possible and worthwhile because you can easily get 20 times the performance in many cases and handily beat native CPU code even on the web.
I want to clarify what the etiquette is. Is it acceptable to flag a submission if I think it's deranged nonsense?
At my old company, Hadoop, JSON, Parquet were the solutions looking for a problem to solve. Yes we handled lots of data, but none of it was time critical. No matter, we had BIG DATA™. Bow when I say that. We weren't Google or Twitter. We were not surgically retrieving data, and while we had lots of data, we didn't have huge data centers; Dremel wasn't relevant to us.

It's funny! It would take our Hadoop team three weeks to get data together for our use. I often didn't have three weeks. In those times when I needed to use the data from the previous day, I'd just grab the raw data, organize it, process it, and be done with it in a few hours, using Unix/Linux tools and a bit of mathemagical wizardry.

"You're supposed to use Hadoop."

"You wanted to know what happened yesterday."

"I did!"

"If you want it from Hadoop, it will be ready in three weeks. Probably. That's if they have everything done."

Original OP:

> You run into the same issues when talking about EV adoption. Yes, it's good that they make up say 10% of cars sold this year, but you're still selling 90% gasoline fleet, and it lasts 15 years and it takes a long time to displace.

The problem in home energy is no different than in EVs. If you make no gas cars... poor people are still stuck using whatever gas cars they can still afford (since they will be instantly high demand = you get expensive or really old) and there wont be a widespread solution to powering all of those EV vehicles the middle class gets for at least a decade.

The reason it's not happening is because it's very very expensive not only for the cars (lithium/cobalt/etc costs would ramp up really fast) but there's no good solutions to charge your car in most places like apartment buildings, where in my city most poor people live.

Telling them all to sit for hours waiting for a charging station that is hopefully near your apartment building is crazy, even if current numbers only hit 2-3x, not 10x. And multi-level underground parking lots aren't going to have plugs available for every car. Mine had 2 plugs available and it was used 100% of the time.

But most relevant that adding supercharger/any car chargers to homes everywhere is also going to apply tons of pressure on... you guess it home energy demands.

Both are a product of the same process of privileging of commodity production for profit over overall collective well-being.

And yes, I'm aware that said commodity production produces wealth which also improves well-being. But there's a contradiction there in our economic model that is not serving us well.

EDIT: I should add to my point above that what's common with both these is one overarching world altering product that has completely transformed the world: the automobile.

Ribbons of tarmac lace the earth (it wouldn't surprise me if this is a long term environmental problem, too), even in some of the most remote sections of the planet.

Cities are built around them, privileging automobile use above a bunch of other aspects of quality of life.

Road transport is 75ish% of global CO2 emissions.

And, yeah, leaded fuel poisoned our bodies, minds, and the environment for decades.

Leadership is trained is classes, just not in a lot of forums. Usually can only find it in a focused, curriculum-style way out of the military or situations like the consultants bankers get assigned by their companies when they are about to hit Managing Director.

The concept that leadership can only come from those born with it keeps many competent individuals out of those roles that (especially) tech needs in those roles. Take the inverse approach that is most common - bubbling up the most competent IC or founder (Zuckerberg for example) without any regard for leadership training is one of the biggest issues tech has an industry. You commonly end up technically sound but low-EQ, low-leadership individuals in long term EM tracks who will never leave because the comp is so good. And teams suffer for it.

This impacts everyone though beyond tech. Whenever people "hate their manager," the manager's traits that are hated usually come from a visible lack of leadership capabilities and by extension focused education. However, how possible and pragmatic it is to train every middle manager in leadership without click-through HR slides is a different topic.
And those types of universal standards arrive by a process not unlike evolution - everyone who wants to has a crack at the problem and the solutions compete for a painful decade or two. Eventually a winner emerges from the top few frontrunners, and by 2040 only networking historians remember ALOHAnet or token ring networks.

However, you can't top-down design a universal standard.

With sufficient skill, patience, and wisdom, you may be able to design a standard that's good enough to be widely applicable.

Humans have free will, though (in practice, at least, no matter what you think about the philosophical question).

A standard only becomes universal when everyone chooses to adopt it.
theoretically a hash lookup is O(1) so should perform better if the key is unique, but you give up a lot of other features (like partial matches, searching, and range queries).

Binary trees are the ideal in a world of a pure von Neumann model. In practice data structures perform better when data is grouped together and this is what the b-tree gets you. It's both more disk and cache efficient in real world workflows

How old were you when you started into maths past the highschool level, and how many hours a week were you working in the unrelated field? I’m 29 and have a sincere interest in math, but I’m relegated to self-learning because I earned on.y a 2.3 GPA in undergrad. I’ve been working threough Hammond’s proof book as well as some vector calculus, and while I seem to completely understand the material as I read about it, the exercises leave me pretty bruised up.

I don’t know anyone who knows or values math much past algebra. “I don’t need it for my career, so why would I spend tome on it?” I don’t plan to switch to engineering, so I often find myself distracted & wondering what value math will add to my life other than making my interests more obscure and distant from the everyday people I meet. All I have to go on is “I’m interested & I trust that I’ll find it helpful once I know it. Also some people who are good at math make pretty good money.” But when I get 60% on a set of exercises, it’s challenging to keep faith.

Those who know, already know. If they do not know or knowingly support the war, your call will not magically change their mind.

If you are a citizen of a European country, call your government and ask to help Ukraine instead. Drop humanitarian supplies, people experience food shortages. Send in troops, the more losses Russia suffers the harder it is for the government to maintain the pretense of normalcy. No one likes fighting a losing war.
More nuance needed here. The UK has failed terribly when it comes to opening its borders to Ukrainians. But it has very much been world leading when it comes to other aspects of this crisis. Britain sent arms to Ukraine well before the war started, was training thousands of Ukrainian snipers back in January and February, and was the first country to send arms to Ukraine. Ukrainians on the ground therefore see Britain as their closest ally, regardless of its shameful stance on
immigration.

> Coke and Pepsi came in with "donations" and the whole thing became about exercise

You know, I wouldn't mind this as long as the scale of the donation was big enough. If they donated $1000 per american to the US government, who could use it to reduce taxes or improve life for americans more than the sugar decreases quality of life through illness and poor health, that would be great.

But they didn't. I bet their donation was $100k or so, or less than 1 cent per american.
Zoom out. Ignoring the fact everyone now has a supercomputer in their pocket, now you can literally outcompute that era of terminals for <$1. Huge flat screens hang in literally every room with resolutions dozens of times higher per axis than anything of that period. Voice input is finally here, and the very notion of a 'terminal' has become an anachronism.

In context, therefore, I think it's understandable.
What is with the massive dive in Revenue post 2018?

Yeah, the reactor vessels are usually pretty small. Usually it's the containment, generation, and cooling facilities that take up the most space even on traditional plants. Nuclear is nuts with energy densities almost a million times greater than chemical fuels. https://xkcd.com/1162/

With a lot of these SMR designs, they don't transport fuel or waste separate from the reactor. It is generally sealed within the reactor itself before delivery and then the entire reactor is transported intact for disposal or remanufacturing years later. They typically fit on the back of large trucks, trains, or barges.

Manufacturing enriched fuel from these designs would not be cost effective. Technology for enriching weapons grade nuclear fuel is widespread and tightly monitored. A group with one of these reactors would be hard pressed to do anything other than generate heat with it or make dirty bombs (Hospitals would be a better target for this.) Also the dang thing is pretty hard to run off with compared to smaller casks or rods of waste.

Edit: Almost certainly they are referring to an entire plant with more than a few SMRs when they say a million homes.
I feel very skeptical that a stranger can quickly change someone's mind over a phone call. Most people expect some kind of scam or sales pitching when a stranger is calling them.

I called a lot of my friends in Russia and they are mostly aware of what's going on. But they all live in big cities. The problem is large rural population and smaller towns, which is majority of the population in Russia. They still seem to support Putin no matter what.
> More like UAF ? Also, you can't. That was the idea. But it seems a bad one, according to you and user rom1v.

Well in your code if you bft_free OWN with outstanding REFs, nothing happens and the bft_free on last REF does nothing as well so it becomes just a leak.

> I'll try to make it so. This aspect is new to me. Anyway I hear it's quite hard, beyond that, to have a thread-safe lib, so I'll advertize it as non-TS.

IMO thread-safe should be the default with an easy opt-out by defining a single macro or something like that.

> Maybe that's the price for compacting str+str_view into a single type ?

Kind of. Without the VUE functionality I think you could refactor it into 2 states - SBO or REF.

struct Buffet {
union {
struct { // | u32 refcnt | char data[] |
void* ptr; // --------------^ points to data. at offset -4 is refcount / start of alloc
SIZE_TYPE size;
} large; // cap > sizeof(void*) + sizeof(SIZE_TYPE)
char small[sizeof(void*) + sizeof(SIZE_TYPE)]; // cap <= sizeof(void*) + sizeof(SIZE_TYPE)
} storage;
SIZE_TYPE cap; // on big endian this value could also function as the null terminating byte
}

I wonder if it's a "raised barrier to entry" to prevent low-effort drive-by PRs. I have a couple of extremely-small OSS libs that are available in public package repos and are hosted on Github, and even those have gotten the drive-by "I slightly reworded your README" PRs that don't help. I can't imagine the volume of noise that larger projects get.

By requiring a .patch file to be sent via a mailing list, the sort of "burden of effort" shifts away from "log into Github and click the pencil icon in the preview for README.md" and towards a slightly-heavier-weight minimum threshold -- one that shouldn't be so bad as to discourage folks making earnest valuable changes, but might be enough to make low-effort spam more annoying for the spammer than the spam-ee.

How Did This Many Deaths Become Normal?
I see it differently, I am under the impression that when people say to live every moment as if it were your last they mean you should do whatever it is you are doing with focus and dedication, as if it is the last thing you will do, and judgement or the void awaits you afterwards. So although you are cooking a meal for future sustenance, you should have the mentality that even if you die before the meal can be eaten, it will be a damn good meal. Also to take risks in general.
Even worse, it multiplies the amount of requests hitting the overloaded processor. You can create a "metastable failure" situation that will prevent an overloaded service from ever recovering.
Except sanctions will be driven by political decisions in democracies. I feel like most of the EU and US citizens would consider it an invasion - so sanctions.

It's not an international law driven by unflinching rules. It's a democratic choice, or a series of them.
> all I'm trying to say is that I have decided not to think in the way you just did e.g. "where's that study which supports what I already believe?".

Hmm.

It looks like you're ascribing to the above comment the thought process: "I'm only looking for studies which only tell me that which I believe." However, the above comment doesn't seem to be saying this. They thought there was more to the story and are querying for the rest of the story.

Meanwhile, you seem to ascribe to yourself the quality of not searching for data that supports what you already believe.

However, it seems to me that searching for more studies (even if you're only looking for data that confirms your bias) is a better outcome than assuming (without more proof) that people who aren't you are thinking "the bad way"TM.

I mean, if you had searched for additional proof to discover that what you already thought was true about above commenter (ie they were thinking the bad way) you might have discovered that they in fact were simply looking for additional context due to recalling past events that indicated that there might have been additional context.
