That’s… kinda the point, no? To prevent scummy people doing scummy things.
I feel you can do something with floor and trunc to get the remainder, then using round to get the sig figs correct. You can make it abs of it at the start, and then only add a negative at the start of the concat if it's negative.

I rapidly tried and I get something a bit shorter (about half the length), but my rounding ends up with imperfect precision and sometimes I get 10m60s rather than 11m0s due to it. Appropriate rounding at the appropriate points would fix that.

In rough terms, every push or pop from the queue also causes head or tail to be written, thus dirtying a line of cache. That’s the bit I misunderstood.
Yep, my standard bash header is set -eo pipefail with x if I need to see what's going on. This particular script didn't appear to be using pipes, as you say.

This was my first thought too. I use this all the time for this reason.
Hmm... This is actually not a bad idea. Like seriously, some people will pay for it IMO. It might actually be a viable product.
Great, I bet you hacked that script in 5 minutes or less, which I don't dispute.

However, you cannot claim that you learned bash scripting within those 5 minutes. Or that you knew in seconds that these were the libraries to use for that little but valuable script.

All costs considered, time to learn what to do is included. So, it was far more than 5 minutes, though your execution was less than that.

> idea that Interstellar "taught" us what black holes look like is way overblown

Teachers don’t invent mathematics when they teach addition, they distribute known knowledge. Interstellar absolutely taught many people a more-accurate image of a black hole. They did not discover Doppler beaming or the accretion disk’s wrap around, sure, but I haven’t seen that claim made explicitly as much as heavily implied.

Somewhat disagree, depending on the embedded subset. Lots of MCUs don't have any cache, so they don't have any cache lines. If you're programming some sort of embedded Linux system you'll have a more powerful processor and almost certainly have cache.

So if you're hiring for MCU work (bare metal or RTOS) the concept of a cache line isn't important. If you're hiring for application processor work (often Linux), it's very important.
AVX512 is actually quite different to AVX2, it's not just wider AVX.

Why wouldn’t that argument apply to normal VPN? Wouldn’t the mobile carrier be able to provide a spectrum of value-added services if they understood how my employees work?

Jabra denies support for Elite 85t Bluetooth earbuds on computers
I purchased Jabra 85t bluetooth earbuds a 2 months ago.
After updating Macos to Monterey, the mic drops after a random amount of time on Google Hangout and sometimes Slack, in the span of 20 minutes.

This is not an isolated case, users have been complaining about it.
For instance on Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Jabra/comments/qjwxdu/muting_during_slackzoom_calls_on_mac_elite_85t/

On this post, official Jabra Support declares: "We do not support the use of the Jabra Elite 85t on computers"
I also reached out to their support per email, and after a few back and forth and reaching their Lead, the answer is the same.
They won't provide a refund nor solutions.

This limitation isn't advertised on the official Amazon offer nor on their official website.
Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Jabra-Wireless-Bluetooth-Earbuds-Titanium/dp/B08HR78C46/
Official website: https://www.jabra.com/bluetooth-headsets/jabra-elite-85t

In the absence of advertised limitation, shouldn't the mic work (without dropping) with every device supporting the adequate BT profiles?

Or maybe not and those people really have lost 90% of their neurons, it's unfortunate no one care enough to fact check given this is essential towards understanding what is necessary in the brain.
Yes, 96. As you say DVD caused rapid consumer adoption, so a new generation was learning about Dolby not as a tape tech brand but surround sound. In the 90s people weren’t hyping Dolby tape tech, it was already the standard. This new consumers during that time knew Dolby for surround sound because tapes were old trash tech!
It's quite close to the process AMD are on but not 5nm that apple use.

A lot of M1's advantage is in terms of density. That's why they were theoretically able to make such an absolutely enormous processor and keep it cool.

Making that theory work in practice came from decades of low power semi experience. They're extremely good chip designers.

socialism != social democracy. Independent of the definition, I'd rather help people in need then step over them in the street. Abrahamic religions have helping others as a fundamental tenet, so denying that doesn't stand well with $GOD.

Free accounts in calendly only allow for one event type. Maybe this allows to offer more event types (e.g. different lengths) for free.

> 1) what types of potential excavations are currently sealed and what is the hypothesis of the contents?

The most famous for is probably the main tomb for the First Qin Emperor. That is to say, the main tomb for the place with the terracotta army. The army figures almost immediately started to flake and decay after being exposed - lacquer disappearing in a space of minutes. We believe there may be some mercury rivers or pools inside the main tomb that may rapidly be lost if we were to open it, as well as the other artifacts.

> 2) what is the most shocking thing you know that others don’t know that you’d be willing to share, or at least surprising.

Nothing much. I doubt anything would surprise anyone. Maybe that people have always been people? Some people have the mistaken impression ancient people were mentally slow.

I've only really dipped a toe into this field, with some translation work (and that was a little while ago, now). I've translated a lot of equivalents to "Y sleeps around" and "I've got a nice dick, call me" anywhere from a few thousand years right up to the invention of writing. Graffiti from three and four thousand years ago is about the same as you get on toilet stalls, today.

> 3) why are there gatekeepers on knowledge and archaeology?

In my experience, there isn't really. Not on what we know. There is a _lot_ of stuff that never makes it to media, or front of house at a museum, because its... Boring. Not a lot of people interested in Boris' accounting ledger for seeds and growth on the farm. Especially not when we have thousands from similar farms from the same era. Not unique, not interesting, not widely publicised. (But recorded diligently, all the same. Often in public records.)

There are gatekeepers on gaining more knowledge. Some of that is just bureaucratic nonsense. Some of it is that we've got limited resources and so need to triage where to supply them. And some of it is to stop over-eager morons from accidentally destroying knowledge that we don't have the skill or tools to safely extract, just yet.

There are sometimes a few things that have actual gatekeeping on exploring them, because they're political firecrackers. Like the potential site of Biblical artifacts in Moslem nations, for example. Or anything in China that goes against the current Party message. But those things are very few and far between.
framadate looks more like doodle? This is seems to be for booking appointments, e.g. small business owners could use it so that customers book appointments.

There is almost never a good reason to be impolite! Sometimes in interviews they try to piss you off with the exact purpose to see how you handle these kind of situation… you clearly failed! My first job after university was for a big tech company… during the interview the interviewer was very aggressive and borderline impolite trying to push me “over the edge”… I handle it with calm and politeness. Needless to say I was offered the job on the spot at the end of the interview (in real life the interviewer was a delightful kind person and all the rudeness was an interviewing technique)

I feel like it's a fundamentally bad idea to give P and E cores disparate instructions sets. Apple did it right on the M1 — the cores have different designs, but the E cores support all the instructions the P cores do.
This question nerd-sniped me. I don't know either but my first guess, supported by hex dumping a medium-sized database, is that sqlite B-tree pages are collections of 32-bit page offsets that the database is designed to cluster (also, just lots and lots of zeroes). Also, the database I looked at was mostly UTF-8 text, which is obviously compressible, but I don't think that's what Ben meant.

Graphing metrics and doing transformations/comparisons is (much) faster. Yes, metrics do have to be defined first but in my experience that's a non-issue since the things you want to monitor are usually immediately obvious during development (e.g. request-response times, errors returned, new customers acquired, pages loaded, etc.).

With that being said, it's not a mutually exclusive situation. You can have both. However, some logs used for plotting metrics have near-zero debugging value (e.g. a log line that just includes the timestamp and the message "event x occurred"). Those kinds of logs should be fully converted over to metrics.

Some other logs however are genuinely useful (e.g. an exception occurred, the error count should be incremented, and this is the stack trace).
Litestream author here. When a page gets full then it splits in two so each new mode has empty space for inserts and updates. That empty space compresses really well. Also, OLTP data can have duplication when you have a categorical column that you haven’t moved into a separate table (eg a “type” column that has a couple unique values).
AKA encryption. But you can still unfreeze it and it'll become wet again…
Apple makes the device and OS. They will always have the ability to see the data.
I've been so annoyed with people falsely equating defer and RAII that it didn't occur to me this is yet another way it's inferior!

The thing that usually comes to mind for me is that defer only works for local scope. RAII is more general because RAII objects can be put inside other objects that have different lifetimes. I can have an OpenFile inside a struct inside a reference counted smart pointer which will make it so that when the last user using that file disconnects the file is automatically closed. Defer can't do that.

The overhead due to bit masks and rotations/shifts is negligible on almost all CPUs.

Larger CPUs can do many such operations during every clock cycle and even in very small CPUs they are usually single-cycle operations.

Depending on the CPU, integer divisions are 10 to 100 times slower, so in a completely different range of overhead.

On a more serious note, I was surprised the author completely neglects a biological definition of alive. I've never seen a definition of alive that neglects the ability to replicate. This article focuses on complexity, but there are many systems that are very complex but would not fit a definition of alive. Chemical reactions with many thousands of intermediate reagents, for example.

I'd also like to compare to a simpler organism: Are viruses alive?

I did some reading, and there are 2 ways to use the SQLite backup API:

1. call backup_init, backup_step with a step size of -1, then backup_finish. This will lock the db the whole time the backup is taking place and backup the entire db.

2. call backup_init, backup_step in a loop until it returns SQLITE_DONE with a positive step size indicating how many pages to copy, then backup_finish.

With method 2, no db lock is held between backup_step calls. If a write occurs between backup_step calls, the backup API automagically detects this and restarts. I don't know if it looks at the commit count and restarts the backup from the beginning or is smart enough to know the first changed page and restarts from there. Because the lock is released, a continuous stream of writes could prevent the backup from completing.

I looked in the sqlite3 shell command source, and it uses method 2. So if using the .backup command with continuous concurrent writes, you have to take a read lock on the db before .backup to ensure it finishes. It would be nice if the .backup command took a -step option. That would enable the -1 step size feature of method 1. The sqlite3 shell uses a step size of 100.

Another option would be to check backup_remaining() and backup_pagecount() after each step, and if the backup isn't making progress, increase the step size. Once the step size is equal to backup_pagecount() it will succeed, though it may have to lock out concurrent writes for a long time on a large db. There's really no other choice unless you get into managing db logs.
