The price of pump gas changes every day. Is that a bad thing?

I'm old enough to remember when pump gas was regulated. Two things happened - gluts and shortages, at the same time! This all ended abruptly when Reagan signed his first Executive Order to repeal all that nonsense.
It was already winter when I arrived. I've seen -5 degrees. Although my friend told me things can get colder, I think I've had a glimpse of how cold it can be.
I have nothing against Quake, it’s also a wonderful game. But Mario 64 solved more complex problems of the 3D nature : huge scenes with a lot of (moving) objects, moving in all directions, complex move set, camera, camera, camera…

Quake is a nice game as it is but it’s much simpler when the player is the camera.
That company might leak and/or sell the data that they get from the schools?
> Is the buffer here extra memory in addition to the input?

Yes.

> What about just an O(log N) size buffer?

That would effectively just be a constant sized buffer. Honestly O(log N) factors where N is the size of the input are overrated and are probably best seen as a constant factor. Like, even if you're sorting 16 gigabytes of 32-bit floats, log2 N is still just 32.

Not here to argue, as I mostly agree, but just some nitpicking: when you have a constant, systematic, one-sided discourse, it's more than "just forcing in bits of virtue signaling" and even more than politics. It's pure ideology.

It's not just the algorithms, but the hardware as well; the base algorithms we were taught in school were usually aimed at single-threaded applications, but in the past two decades, multithreading and parallelisation has become mainstream.
The parent comment felt true to me. While not author of the parent comment I would like to explain why and how it feels true.

I've suffered clinical depression so am quite familiar with strong mood swings. It's never been bad enough that I would be hospitalized or anything. But some of the moods have been really bad. Had I followed my worst "gut feels" I would likley be alchoholic, divorced, unemployed and homeless.

So I have parts of me sending these literally gut wrenching emotions that direct me to lash out, do stupid things - anything for the make the immediate psychic pain to stop.

And at that point I have the option to either follow these feelings, or say no. I will do this other thing instead which I really hate doing right now but I know will make me feel better in a while. I would characterize this as an example of free will in action.

I cannot control these emotions. But I can choose how to react to them. And I can choose behaviours that lead to better outcomes (exercise, sleep, etc) even though I don't find them emotionally rewarding (except after the fact when I notice a better mood, being happier in my body).

The higher control is of course still some statistical or deterministic outcome of my current neurological state.

But I am 100% I am at least not directly driven by my strongest gut feelings as far as I perceive them.
I spot no test or comment in the code on why this assertion is important.
This!

I went from being a hobbyist dev -> leading a team at a large tech company. The biggest learning I had to do was around writing code with others. It’s one thing to be good at writing code/making a project. It’s another to write code others can understand and work in a project with multiple devs.

I’d definitely recommend finding some open source projects and contributing to them.

The other thing to take into mind is that while you may be newer to team based development most likely if you’ve been working for X number of years you’re not new to working with teams. A lot of the same skills apply.
> That was 40 years ago!

Which just means the homeless population had 40 years to be - for the lack of a better word - 'enriched' with people who should have gotten psychiatric help (and them being on the street is unlikely to have made them become better).

> They are, in fact, very vulnerable, the weakest people out there.

I agree, and I think they ought to get the help they need, and what happens to them in the US is criminal. That still doesn't mean I would let my kid run unsupervised in an open-air forensic psychiatric ward.

Even if California made it the final 3% to reach 100% renewable energy (by the headline metric), it will still depend on a significant amount of non-renewable energy for significant parts of every single day (or else it will have blackouts).

It's not like you can ramp a coal-fired or nuclear power station up and down on a whim either though. It takes time and planning to modify the output if you don't have storage capacity. Power companies do a lot of predictive analysis to forecast demand and make sure they're running a little ahead. Here in the UK we even have a term called "TV pickup" where the electricity demand for the country increases significantly immediately after popular TV shows when we all go and put our kettles on for another cup of tea[1].

Power demand varies a lot, and in a reasonably predictable way, so you're fine so long as you have a mix of generation technologies. For most places that'll end up being solar, wind and nuclear, with extensive storage capacity.

While I totally agree with the sentiment it is nice when language developers go out of their way to not break stuff, even when they don't have to. For example the golang team have made efforts not to break certain usages of the unsafe package in the past, despite the package offering no guarantees about stability.

On a similar note, Im sure there was a suggestion to artificially make the previous golang sort function unstable so that users wouldn't come to rely on stable behaviour where it wasn't guaranteed. I quite like the idea, start the fight against hyrum's law!

I kinda like that, because a lot of people will not read the spec but just try something first. If their map iteration is the same as e.g. insertion order, they will shrug and assume it's correct and move on.
The history of state-of-the-art MIP solvers is fascinating. There are very few people in the world who can develop them, and there is a strong history of developers jumping ship from one company to another, tilting performance accordingly.

Initially, CPLEX and Xpress were founded in the eighties. In the nineties, CPLEX was acquired by ILOG (a French CP company), which in turn was purchased by IBM around 2009. Around the same time, the original technical co-founder of CPLEX, along with the two latest head developers, left CPLEX to found Gurobi. Since then, there has been a slow trickle of developers leaving CPLEX for Gurobi... until 2020, when CPLEX suddenly lost its 7 remaining devs over 6 months (because of catastrophic mismanagement at IBM, from what I heard). Unsurprisingly, those devs ended up mostly at Gurobi, resulting in the CPLEX team from 20 years ago being essentially Gurobi now. Other CPLEX devs also ended up at XPRESS, which had been purchased around 2008 by FICO (the credit rating company).

Meanwhile, there is also a smaller Danish company, Mosek, that does its own thing (they have a MIP solver, but their focus seems to be on their amazing conic optimization code). And SAS (the analytics giant) has a small MIP team too.

Then over the last 2 years, three new solvers appeared out of China: COPT (by Cardinal Operations, a startup by Stanford graduates), MindOpt (Alibaba Research) and OptVerse (Huawei). They mostly have LP solvers for now, but for newcomers, the performance is extremely impressive. This is only partially out of nowhere, though: COPT in particular has hired several devs from the incumbents.

On the academic side, ZIB (a PhD-granting research institute in Berlin) maintains a source-available family of solvers, and has been a steady provider of talent for commercial solvers. The dev behind SoPlex (LP solver) went to CPLEX after his PhD and now Gurobi. The main dev behind SCIP did the same, and is now VP of R&D at Gurobi. Many more XPRESS and Gurobi people did their PhDs at ZIB.

The Coin-OR open-source codes for LP (clp) and MIP (cbc) were written decades ago by a founding father of computational optimization, John Forrest, now retired from IBM research. Their source code is difficult to read, and Coin-OR aims to eventually replace them with a new code, HiGHS. The dev who wrote the simplex code of HiGHS as his PhD thesis went on to XPRESS and now COPT. The dev who writes the MIP code of HiGHS comes from ZIB.

As you can see, everyone is very inter-connected. Hence the throwaway :-).
It's a good approximation. But renewable power generation is affected by the weather, and the weather is not predictable.

The price should change minute by minute. Of course, this implies people having internet-connected hot water heaters, car chargers, etc., which are hardly expensive.
It's not completely about time, and as much the benefit of 25 years of experience, not writing for brand new prototype hardware, not writing a brand new 3D engine when 2D had been the norm for decades.
I don't agree, C and C++ have excellent tools, they are just not evenly distributed (e.g. some IDEs have excellent integrated debuggers and profilers, other don't, some compilers have great integrated static analysis, others don't).

The bigger problem is that in some programmer circles there seems to be an "ideological resistance" against using debugging tools (e.g. https://lemire.me/blog/2016/06/21/i-do-not-use-a-debugger/), which is frankly baffling to me.
I get your point. There is always someone who has it worse than me. Point being that, it doesn't make sense for a human to stop looking for a better life.
Here's the price for my residential electricity in Denmark for the next 24 hours: https://i.imgur.com/EER7bMP.png

The light part of the graph is transport costs and taxes.

I think the price moves within a range -- I'm protected from enormous spikes, but I also won't see the price go negative.

This is a standard tariff, there are other options for people owning electric cars. There's also an app to show this information, and (I assume) a way to tell the car to charge at the cheapest time in next few hours.

Pricing for the next day is decided on the spot market, around 2-3 PM. All large consumers and producers place bids on one-hour slots until the market clears. Prices do not fluctuate minute-to-minute, but hour-to-hour. Consumers might opt in to electricity resellers selling spot prices, or get a fixed but usually higher guaranteed price per kWh. All that changes for the end consumer is that your electricity meter readings will be forwarded to a different company

This is amazing. I wrote a somewhat complex scenario.

We tried explaining to them they are continuously writing the wrong query and that is not the way system is supposed to work. They are abusing and they say we paid for it and I'll write whatever query I like! And I banned him. Am I the asshole?

It wrote:

They sound like an annoyance, and actually pretty rude. It's not your job to teach them the correct way to use the system.

> YTA

You can’t just ban people for writing the wrong query. If you truly wanted them to write a certain way, have someone proof read their work before they start running queries against it. This seems like some sort of bait and switch tactic where you pay for an X amount of accesses in hopes that people abuse it and then get mad at them when they don’t meet your unrealistic expectations

The obsession with them and the ideology that drives them clearly are.
There is research on this, and basically people have gone from a model of concentric circles to a model of connected island.

What does this mean?

Back in the day, you explored the area around yourself by foot or bike. Your model of your surroundings grew in concentric circles, which included more and more places of interest. Your friend's house, school, the library, and so on.

Nowadays, you drive everywhere, by train or car, and it is like warping to that location. The way is just a wait, which you spend on your phone, or sometimes driving (but really (auto-)piloted by your navigation system).

> Also, if the games servers died so would your collection of cards. If for whatever reason the devs killed Gods Unchained someone could build a fork and we'd be able to take our cards over there because the asset is decoupled from the game.

No, you can't. No, you won't. Card assets and all the data describing their actual behaviour in the game isn't stored on chain. Because stroing anything on chain is prohibitively expensive. So, if/when devs kill Gods Unchained, all assets will be gone, and you will be left with links to non-existing urls in your NFTs.

Edit: also, as someone else pointed out: those rights to those assets will likely belong to original authors, so you can't do anything with them without clear explicit permission.

I was living in Istanbul before I moved to Germany. You will, too, soon start noticing the serious problems I at some point thought are not solvable any time soon. Some of them are not solvable AT ALL. Like the earthquake risk that scientists have been warning about since years.

If you’re hiring, and your candidate produces a solution to a real problem, and your interviewers actually want to use their solution, that person is getting an offer unless they were absolutely obnoxious and terrible to work with. Failure to do so is just bad recruitment.

> if you ignore the stated guarantees of the API and depend on implementation details instead, then it’s on you?

In theory, yes. In practice, if a OS or library update uncovers bugs in many programs, that update won’t get favorable reviews.

That’s the reason behind Linux’s “we do not break userspace!” rule (https://linuxreviews.org/WE_DO_NOT_BREAK_USERSPACE), and also why Microsoft Windows has layer upon layer of APIs, a copy of the Windows 95 memory manager (https://mcpmag.com/articles/2010/07/27/trip-down-memory-lane...), why large databases support character sets that probably haven’t been used anywhere since before many HN readers were born (https://docs.oracle.com/goldengate/1212/gg-winux/GWUAD/wu_ch...), etc.

When I was 5, my mother and I had just moved from Croatia to the Netherlands. She sent me down to the shop to buy her some beers. I came home empty-handed, so she went back to the shop and laughed at the shopkeeper—"what, do you think he's going to drink it?"

(The shopkeeper was not amused.)

Similarly, she took me to see Kill Bill when I was 11. That was during a trip to Croatia, of course. In the Netherlands such a thing would have been illegal—and worse, immoral!

Now that Croatia's in the EU, the country is essentially being financially bribed to pretend to care about such issues.

We have many ways of building grid scale storage. All we lack is certainty about which kind will end up cheapest.

It just isn't built out yet. Building out storage will be premature until after there is enough extra renewable generating capacity to charge it from.

If lots of projects would have been cheaper than Vogtle, we may reasonably conclude that they didn't want one cheaper than Vogtle: it would have left too little scope for corruption and graft. Corruption is the ever-present companion of all nuke projects. Any nuke project without a ready conduit for graft will not be funded.

> Hooray for people having their entire lives destroyed because someone decided they 'know' something which might not even be true.

People are not entitled to due process to keep their jobs. Where do you draw the line? Should it be illegal to fire someone for failing a drug test (which are not 100% reliable) until a jury finds them guilty?

> There are plenty of cases of trials over rape or assault allegations which were entirely fictitious.

There are very, very few[1]. You're just more likely to hear about the false ones.

This makes logical sense. It is personally costly to the accuser to accuse someone of rape, even when the accusation is completely true.

The accuser is subject to people calling them a slut, liar, etc.

> In my country, even schoolteachers being investigated for sexual abuse aren't fired.

> It's more that someone could be fired for an arrest over a an offence which has absolutely nothing to do with their job.

So you're moving the goalposts. First, you said that even a teacher accused of sexual abuse (which is very much related to their job) shouldn't be fired. Now you're saying that should only be true if the crime is related to the job.

Does that mean I shouldn't be allowed to fire someone for being filmed murdering someone on camera? That person hasn't been convicted yet. The legal system considers them innocent.

You say you want a blanket ban on firing people for accusations of crimes, but then you don't address what we should do for the edge cases. Nothing you're asking for makes any legal sense.

I should be able to fire someone for any reason that isn't my own prejudice. Freedom of association is important.
