Film financing is ... complex, to say the least, but the classic debt financing model is backed by presale agreements, where you shop a package (script, director, actors, etc.) to distributors, who agree to buy territorial rights (which may include derivative rights to the IP, such as toys or novelizations); those contracts are then used as discountable collateral for the actual financing. (There are approximately 1,795 other ways film is financed, many requiring a comprehensive understanding of multiple national tax codes, but that's the way it used to be done.)
> You need a method to determine what is sufficiently close to each other to be worthy of a more detailed check.

Your line sweep data structure effectively already does that. I recommend reading the Hobby paper and thinking about how it works. And then you should think about how you differentiate inside from outside when you union/difference your polygons.

Any segments in the line sweep data structure simultaneously have already demonstrated that they need the detailed check.

If you want to argue this, you're going to need to study up on about 40 years of prior art. Given how much money this is worth and how many really smart people went after it (it basically drove the field of Computational Geometry for decades), the probability of you contributing something new to the current algorithms is basically zero.

However, the probability of you contributing something new to parallel DRC algorithms is really quite decent. Nobody I know of has yet come up with "good" parallel algorithms for DRC--most of them are hacks that quite often break down when they hit even common cases.

Being able to handle DRC on a billion VLSI polygons/10 billion line segments in a parallel fashion would be quite an advance, and the field is waiting for it.
This is an excellent AITA simulation but more condensed.

I like that the question didn't really have details, but the AI jumps to conclusions and adds its own context like humans often do.
I remember researching all sort of safety gadgets before our kid was born (and after reading a choking story from a friend).

All of these gadgets suffer from false positives. Imagine heart rate disappearing three times a night and you’ll throw that product away after first night.
I'm just talking about a normal bathroom fan you turn on when you want to have a shower or something. I've honestly never seen one at a hardware store that costs more than about $40. An electrician would take about 15 minutes to install one if you've got a power source nearby, or if you get one with a light built in you could install it yourself by just replacing an existing light fixture with it.

Luckily I don't have the misfortune to live anywhere near California, but that humidity sensor business sounds bizarre. Is that some kind of building-code thing?
Earlier today I watched a video where someone reported that his medium term youtube income averaged about 15 GBP per 10000 views (based on a couple of million views over a year). That's just about $20 US, or double what the sibling has responded. Both numbers seem reasonable to me, it's likely to be in that range $1-$2 per thousand.
I never liked the OOM reaper. What it didn't do, was ask me what I wanted to kill.

Depends?

If you have a build farm / CI machines, don't use swap. With swap, if a user schedules too many compiles at once, machine will slow to a halt and become kinda-dead, not quite tripping dead timer, but not making any progress either. Instead, set up the OOM priority on the users processes so they are killed first. If OOM hits, clang is killed, build process fails, and we can go on.

If you have a latency-critical server, don't use swap. With swap, some data will get swapped out, and you will have sudden latency trying to access it. Without swap, it may still swap out the code, but the code is usually much smaller than the data, plus it is all pretty hot.

If occasionally you have to process a very large datasets, and you are willing to wait a minute or twenty, you may enable swap. But be patient, and make sure your ssh has no timeout which can be hit.

If you have a small amount of RAM, enable swap. It would be slow, but at least you would be able to do something without crashing.
> Fixed payment processing fees make it unfeasible. Minimum credit card fees are 10s of cents, so anything sub a dollar becomes unpractical.

VISA could waive those fees tomorrow. And then the rubber would meet the road: who will be more efficient at processing transactions on a global scale, hundreds or thousands of millions of transactions? VISA or a crypto coin?

I’d lay my bet on VISA.
I think it depends on the city and suburb.

I grew up in a fairly large and fairly dense (by suburb standards) suburban city of Boston and it was quite walkable as a child (and also had the benefit of having a few MBTA stops). I live in the middle of downtown Boston now and while I find it fantastic as a somewhat immature adult, I wouldn't say it's especially child-friendly.

That being said, I have seen many other suburbs (looking at you, various places in Connecticut) that don't even have sidewalks. That cannot be good for anyone. And Boston certainly has more child-friendly neighborhoods as well.
You both make good points. The issue is that the fitness of your source of truth often depends on the direction of your perspective. If its from top of the organization down then the messy granularity of a single QA testers workflow status snapshot is too much detail. But on the ground where the rubber meets the road it is noisier and team communication requires that flexible approach to detail.

These guys solve the problem where Jira is either positioned facing up (clean) or facing down (messy details) and doing your own translation is usually a complex time consuming and error prone API effort in comparison to live spreadsheet data you can produce (down) or consume (up) any way you like. Similar workflows on Make/Integromat or Zapier also help re-orienting the use case direction if you are allowed to connect them.
This reminds me of the Temples of Humankind, where a new-age community in Italy (possibly an abusive cult looking at their Wikipedia page) dug in a mountain for a couple decades without planning permission but by the time they were discovered they were impressive enough that they were allowed to keep them.

On a related note, does anyone have good recommendations for real-world "power UIs"? I.e, computer user interfaces that have a steep learning curve but are extremely powerful once mastered. E.g, vi/emacs or one line bash scripts + *nix CLI programs. AutoCAD/Blender and other 3D modeling tools also have good UIs once you go through the pain of mastering them and learn how to use them with one hand on a keyboard and one hand on a mouse.
My opinion is based on the entire scope of documented and written human history.

The FAR does generally make provisions for waivers of the regulations (e.g. 14 CFR 91.903-905 for GA, 14 CFR 107.205 for sUAS). Applications for waivers involve justifying your operation and convincing the FAA that you can conduct it safely. For something like that, they’d want it over a sparsely populated area or a restricted access area and with appropriate ground support for fire / medical. You’d also almost certainly have to file NOTAMs (maybe a TFR).

Sounds like both using swap and not using swap are common workarounds for some problem the kernel couldn't handle properly.
Honestly, that sounds like it's still the Gestalt principles at work. Did you read the link I posted about luminance?

The person who made that art seems to have a keen eye for color design. The colors are chosen in such a way that the signs "pop", making them look like they're well away from the wall despite being a grid of colors on a 2d plane. That red especially looks bright relative to the rest of the image.

There's no way they could be hiding anything special in a static image to give it a parallax. Your brain is doing all the hard work for the artist.
A great point, I agree that extra syntax can help with parser errors.

Vale happens to require semicolons at the end of every line, which helps with this (and a few other corner cases around custom binary operators).
I do believe SQL is not an acronym, but an initialism, precisely when it's spoken as you say it: initials rather than a word. It's when the string of letters is pronounced as a word that "acronym" is accurate. So SQL is either, and thus both...

But yeah, the filling in is odd unless, as in the case of ctl/ctrl, knowledge of the original guides us into lossless compression.

The "more Irish than the Irish themselves" phrase originated as a description of mediaeval Irish history. Norman-ruled England conquered Ireland, and introduced Anglo-Norman settlers – Irish society became divided into two social castes, an English/French-speaking ruling caste and a subordinated caste of indigenous Irish-speakers. (This was prior to the Protestant Reformation, so everyone involved was Catholic – indeed, the English monarchy's conquest of Ireland was approved by the Pope.) The English became concerned that, after a few generations, the Anglo-Norman upper caste began to speak Irish and intermarry with the native Irish-speakers – they saw (quite accurately) that this would lead to weakening of English rule and eventual demand for independence. "more Irish than the Irish themselves" was really meant as a somewhat hyperbolic/ironic reference to this process of cultural assimilation. The English responded with anti-Irish legislation, prohibiting the speaking of Irish, intermarriage between English-speakers and Irish-speakers, and formally subordinating the theoretically independent Irish Parliament to that of England – however, the legislation largely failed to be enforced, the blurring of the boundaries between the native Irish and the Anglo-Norman newcomers continued, and English rule became (in much of the country, especially the parts furthest from Dublin) more theory than fact, as local lords found they could basically ignore the edicts of the English administration in Dublin and do whatever they liked.

This is arguably the earliest historical roots of the Northern Ireland conflict, although with various other layers added on top – the introduction of a religious dimension to what was originally a purely cultural/ethnic/linguistic/political conflict due to the Protestant Reformation; further waves of settlement from Britain; the Irish theatre of the English Civil War and the later Jacobite-Williamite War in which many Irish (especially, but not exclusively, Catholics and Irish-speakers) supported the deposed King James II against the regime of William of Orange.

I don't know how much sense the phrase has in the context of immigrants to contemporary Ireland. I suppose some users of it must have found some way to connect it to contemporary affairs–probably there is some immigrant somewhere who is obsessed with teaching their children to speak Irish when the majority of Irish people don't make much of an effort to do so themselves–but I think some use of it may also be motivated by its long history and memorable phrasing rather than genuine contemporary applicability.
If you're in a single AZ you're not in multiple AZ. Migrating between AZs isn't multi-zone either. Running at 130% capacity in three AZs, that is multi-AZ (to us, in our availability configuration). If an AZ goes down (which in some regions we use has happend 0 times) we lose about 30% capacity, but since that's our margin of scaling anyway we can keep going as-is, even if there was no 15% additional capacity available in the remaining AZs.

Some sort of manual active-standby configuration really doesn't require AWS or a Cloud, that stuff is the same 90's implementation it has always been and practically boils down to attaching your RAID1 USB HDDs from one PC to another PC and booting that bad boy up as 'failover'. (yes, that's an example, and yes it's an extreme one)

If you have capacity planning, and you plan accordingly, you take service provider limits into account, just like you would with anything else. Having two power feeds into a distribution warehouse doesn't help much if neither can't handle 100% of the load in an industrial park. So while having two feeds might seem 'redundant' to a single tenant or customer, it's only really redundant if either can supply all the demand of all connected customers.

The same applies to fiber connections, plenty of fake-redundant connections that are suggested by customers to be 'redundant' turn out to end up at the same PoP and if the PoP goes down your redundant fibers are worthless. In the same logistics distribution scenario, your trucks can't deliver goods if the destination warehouse itself is offline, and now you need redundant warehouses.

That's obviously a weird thing to do at smaller scales, but the fact remains that AWS having an AZ go down is only a small piece of the puzzle, and only really a problem if you didn't plan for it appropriately.

I don't understand your paragraph on Kubernetes. Say you have 1000 machines with 4 TiB each, and you want to schedule processes that will cumulatively allocate 4 EiB. How would you do this without letting Kubernetes handle the scheduling?

Once Kubernetes decides which processes should run on each machine, it allocates separate cgroups to each process group, which it uses for enforcing CPU and RAM resource limits. You can see this by examining the cgroupfs control filesystem. How would you propose improving this?

We have that 'issue' with many of our Spark workloads where there isn't any of our desired capacity available as spot, but we have a baseline reserved up front instances for anything realtime anyway so with a bit of planning it's a non-issue.

It does cost money, but then again, so does not running certain processes. The trick becomes calculating the intersection at which point the costs outweigh the benefits, and that calculation applies everywhere.

Did you not read the article you are commenting on?
>It also shows why Theta is better than both

Big Theta for some functions is an empty set. Take for example bubble sort. It's O(n^2) and Ω(n), but there is no function that asymptotically bounds it above and below. In fact it is better if there isn't one as it means there exists fast cases. For bubble sort it's fast cases are ones where data is almost sorted and requires to scans of the array. If you know this is true of the input data you know bubble sort is more appropriate than something like merge sort which is Ω(nlog(n)). Now the O(n^2) worst case can still be significant so you may want to consider an alternate algorithm that doesn't break down as bad.

As the other reply pointed out we are talking about functions that bound some other function (in this context the amount of steps / operations / time an algorithm will take) when looking at how it behaves asymptotically.

His claim about a sailboat not being able to exceed windspeed sailing directly downwind is deceiving because it is definitely not the fastest point of sail. I believe this is done for dramatic effect to make Blackbird's feat sound more incredible. Sailing close hauled, almost directly into the wind, can achieve double wind speeds near effortlessly on low draft racing multihulls, and possibly on land with whatever those sailing carts are called. Of course, directly downwind is the only course for this experimental propellor craft, thus the only criteria.
It's generally good to use symmetric cryptography wherever possible because it usually (!) is faster and simpler.
