Ignorance of how your language works is a bad thing.

Knowing where performance issues with certain techniques might arise is not premature optimization. Implement with an appropriate level of care, including performance concerns. Not every kind of poor performance appears as a clear spike in a call graph, and even fewer can be fixed without changing any external API.

I did something similar, but different. Rather than video, I shot long exposure timelapse without a tripod as they are forbidden to use by the fair organization. So it was more of an exercise in "hide and watch" mentality (after being sent back to the car to put up the tripod) to be able to shoot the footage in the style I wanted. Came back the next night with a monopod, and they said no to that as well. Nevermind that while I was doing my thing without any *pod, I counted at least 20 other people using tripods. It was me, my Matthellini clamp, a ball head, and a bunch of people looking at me like I had 3 heads.

You’re lucky if people even make a show of washing their hands. If they wash them well, then you have just met a unicorn. And even people who do normally wash their hands well sometimes run into issues like there not being any goddamn soap stocked (in the same bathroom, 3 days in a row).

Don’t use the air blowers; just let your hands air dry if there’s no paper towels. It doesn’t take very long and has been basically my standard practice for about 10 years now.
You're wrong. It will happen way before 20 years.

I hope there are new limits to trucking and a concentration of those that are licensed to off hours. I-80, for instance, already feels like a truck route more than a human commute route. That said, so many of the accidents (jack knifing) there are trucks in wintery weather, I don't see that being included v1.0 of the new trucking reality.
> Is there some theory in which the tangent curve has its +/- infinities connected?

I'm sure there are much simpler ways in which this can be done, but one need only regard the tangent function as valued in the one-point compactification (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-point_compactification) of `\mathbb R`, which is a circle. In this sense, the graph of the tangent function is a subset of the cylinder `\mathbb R \times S^1`; and the usual graph comes from making a slice through the "`\infty` section" `\mathbb R \times \{\infty\}` and unrolling.
If the information in this article is make-or-break for your program, you probably shouldn't have chosen Go.

In the grand space of all programming languages, Go is fast. In the space of compiled programming languages, it's on the slower end. If you're in a "counting CPU ops" situation it's not a good choice.

There is an intermediate space in which one is optimizing a particular tight loop, certainly, I've been there, and this can be nice to know. But if it's beyond "nice to know", you have a problem.

I don't know what you're doing with reflection but the odds are that it's wildly slower than anything in that article though, because of how it works. Reflection is basically like a dynamically-typed programming language runtime you can use as a library in Go, and does the same thing dynamically-typed languages (modulo JIT) do on their insides, which is essentially deal with everything through an extra layer of indirection. Not just a function call here or there... everything. Reading a field. Writing a field. Calling a function, etc. Everywhere you have runtime dynamic behavior, the need to check for a lot of things to be true, and everything operating through extra layers of pointers and table structs. Where the article is complaining about an extra CPU instruction here and an extra pointer indirection there, you've signed up for extra function calls and pointer indirections by the dozens. If you can convert reflection to generics it will almost certainly be a big win.

(But if you cared about performance you were probably also better off with an interface that didn't fully express what you meant and some extra type switches.)

As of recently I would say IMO Mathematics is the ultimate multiplier. It is thinking clearly, and it can be 10x, 1000x, or the difference between something being impossible or possible.

A more prosaic answer, in terms of tools, would be to know your editor well (assuming programming), since you will spend a lot of time in it. Even if typing speed is not the limiter, it can help focus and keep bursts of input uninterrupted.
I'm not a tax person, but probably all they need is an amended tax return (1040X) with the sale reported. Grab the instructions for schedule D for the tax year you sold your home, and follow the section for "Sale of Your Home". It says you're only required to report the sale if the gains exceeded the exclusion amount or you received a 1099-S; but I'm guessing the IRS must have received a 1099-S even if you didn't. You might be able to get a copy of that through the IRS Tax Transcript service?

They probably don't need a copy of the Statute, but eh. :)
Every abstraction has a cost. If it is not delivering more value than that cost, it is a net liability. Saying "auto p = " when you could say "auto* p = " saves you practically nothing, but costs the reader, potentially, a lot. Somebody reading the code who doesn't instantly understand without a bunch of poking around that p has reference semantics is at a marked disadvantage. You have stolen that advantage from that reader.

There is a reason that the language permits "auto& r = " and "auto* p = ". That reason is, specifically, to help prevent errors. Failing to spend a single keystroke to help prevent errors is false economy.

I'm not convinced that "no inheritance" is better -- drivers seem to be one place where it's actually put to good use -- but I also don't think it really matters that much. In contrast, Rust definitely has fewer foot-guns, and that matters a lot.

Of course, the OSX driver code is going on 25 years old, so it's not evidence of anyone's opinion that C++ beats Rust for OS dev.
So indeed, you are more interested in shaming people into submission than in persuading them through discourse. Again, why are you surprised that people aren't so eager to deal with you?

You might think your cause is righteous, okay good. You want to play hardball, fine. But don't be surprised when people don't love you as you condemn them and equate them to slave owners and dictators. You can either treat people like enemies or like friends to be persuaded. But you can't have your cake and eat it too.

I've really pared down my Google usage with the end of grandfathered GAFYD accounts as the last straw, so down to Sheets, YouTube, and Android as my last google usage. YouTube has no alternative, Android has too much sunk cost, Sheets I'm probably going to go back to Syncthing + Libreoffice I guess. Office 365 is the equivalent alternative, but not sure I feel much better about MS's consumer products than I do about Google.

It's not a snarky comment, it's literally, not actually basic logic. You had no factual basis for saying it was.

Basic logic is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_logic

Dynamical systems has stuff that is not basic logic such as this topological concept which is applicable in understanding how stuff works without doing an actual calculation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_cycle

That's calculus. Not logic, not philosophy.
That is also why cheating done by actually skilled people is really dificult to detect. Schmooey is a skilled guitar hero player and therefore he very well knows the limitations in terms of the results the competitive gh community will believe him. A random kid with no skill would have no idea of what he is actually doing and would just perform some absolutely unreal run that nobody would buy into. It's a bit like cheating in chess where a grandmaster using an engine would not blindly play the best moves but rather the ones that seem barely within human capabilities. Or like a professional runner on EPO who breaks the world record in the 10000m just by a few seconds although he would have had much more left in the tank.

The fact that they have to add the adjective “full” to self driving is a clear sign that it is not capable of self driving.
If your child processes spawn grandchild processes and then exit or otherwise die, and envkey-source is running as PID 1, then envkey-source will become the parent of those orphaned grandchild processes. When those orphans exit, envkey-source must check those process's exit status. Until then, those process IDs can't be reused, and the processes stick around as zombie processes.

In other words, PID 1 is special, because it may have child processes that it never created, and needs to be aware and handle them properly. Otherwise, you can end up leaking zombie processes.

It sounds like envkey-source isn't aware that it may adopt orphaned child processes. Killing them isn't the main issue. Checking their exit statuses is the main issue.
I agree but it would actually be better than the status quo.

Would you rather have a neighbourhood mafioso who is amenable to financial incentives or a local random psychopath?
> Google is much more profitable than your bank, and this is why.

That's not correct. Google is more profitable because it is a monopoly and routinely engages in illegal anti-competitive behavior.

It's precisely because this is the case that it's able to have nonexistent customer service and stay in business.

That is not HB11's proposed direct conversion scheme. HB11 proposes to have the alpha particles go up a large potential gradient, in effect charging a capacitor.
I don't think their scheme works, btw.

Having the ions move against a magnetic field doesn't change their energy. What would be needed for that scheme is to subject the ions to a changing magnetic field to produce an electric field that reduces their energy. Helion proposes something like this.

As someone who struggles with ADHD and depression, this isn’t always possible.

At 38 years old, what I have discovered are ways to make myself valuable to my employer even when I’m not at my peak. The move to a more “architectural” role has been a Godsend for me. It means that I’m a let to serve to some degree in an advisory capacity for others. When I’m not able to enter “flow” with my primary project, I can usually find someone else with a problem that they’re struggling on, pair up with them, and help them get over whatever is in their way. This makes the team as a whole significantly more productive.

As a bonus, I often find that focusing on a problem of short duration helps me overcome the mental barriers to becoming engaged in my work and lets me get done what I was struggling not to avoid doing in the first place.
> If the software can't do that gracefully, then it's bad software.

What I want is that the software itself doesn't even get a chance to interfere with demands like ⌘Q. There's no reason Chrome should get to decide that it doesn't close until I hold ⌘Q; that way lies all sorts of dark patterns. (Adobe's attempt to seize control of basic OS functions is my bugbear here.)

I don't mind the OS having a system-wide setting whereby I can decide how much I want it to protect me from the consequences of my actions, but that should be a decision between me and the OS, enforced by the OS, not something I have to negotiate individually with every app.

(Same with the menu bar. I choose what goes in the menu bar, and macOS should enforce that choice, not tell me that the software has decided what goes there and I have to lump it.)

That's a severe misunderstanding of how these compounds work

On one hand you have a single acute dose (in your words "jolting") which can profoundly 'rewire' synaptic connections

On the other hand you have a compound administered chronically to induce changes that may not last after removing the medication. The goal is the same rewiring but considering dropout rates and success rates of treatment its absolutely lacklustre

Generally speaking, the compounds that are illegal are more profoundly impactful because if their high affinity and specificity than compounds available for prescription
And the alternative renewables are pretty bad when considered in practical terms.

Solar which doesn't work half the time, produces an oversupply during summer and doesn't work during winter, requiring extensive and expensive storage setups while providing a laughable output.

Wind turbines which only work in specific places with stable wind speeds, with blades that last 20 years and can't be cost effectively recycled and produce a larger waste storage issue than nuclear. Not to mention the constant loud whine sound that drives people living close to them absolutely nuts.

Geothermal which works only in places with magma near the surface, otherwise you need to drill down so deep that you destabilize the ground and cause towns to start collapsing into themselves.

Hydrogen storage may be practical in some cases, but with 30% round trip efficiency it's probably not worth it when pumped hydro can do up to 85% and you also get what's basically a huge bomb waiting to level the city block.

Sails, or their more efficient version, Flettner rotors, are a good starting point for significant cargo ship fuel reductions but you aren't gonna be powering them by wind alone.

I think what Rolls Royce is doing right now with SMRs is probably the best way forward, depending on how small they can really make them.
