neither coincidence nor destiny alone -- your conscious life path, intermixed. How can you "know" this coincidence? How many circumstances on the edges of your lived life, are more influential than you recognize? What progress and events at larger scales that you are part of?
Yes, as long as the person is the actual conductor.
> If more pushback is necessary, then do it doing any estimates (provided that you have any): "Task $FOO will take X% more time due to $BAR not being finished and slowing down development. Consider doing $BAR first and $FOO should become less complex then."

Creating those estimates alone is more than the sum of total work usually.

Then the problem of convincing others is itself typically more than the sum of total work.

Usually metrics aren't accurate enough to be able to prove these things anyway in my experience.
I love trains but unfortunately sleeper trains don't work for a light/nervous sleeper like me. Maybe if I used one regularly I could get used to it. But the couple of times I used one I didn't sleep much. I've always been envious of heavy sleepers.
We are talking about a country that can’t even supply proper boots to its troops. Why believe that the nuclear weapons they inherited from USSR still work?
I read this as less concrete used for any one application. It's also not clear to me that this would reduce net costs, as producing bulk graphene is likely not as cheap as any other conceivable additive. From an environmental perspective, if required volume is reduced but cost is the same, then worldwide consumption could be reduced.
I guess the German health minister and quite a bit of regional health ministers would be thrilled if the numbers of Covid-19 cases increase. Then they can try again to push that mandatory vaccination that failed last time in parliament only due to interpersonal ego issues.

They already ordered a few hundreds of millions of vaccines.
I'm from the south of Hamburg. The lines served by Metronom are probably the most tightly scheduled around. They don't even have time to stop at the terminus most of the time, so they carry delays forward throughout the entire day. The reason no S-Bahn goes far south is also that Dostos can still carry more people despite the slow acceleration/breaking.
These are all[0] long-distance trains that due to an agreement with the local transit commissioning authority accept regional train tickets and therefore got assigned an RE train number (some even added some stops due to such an agreement).

[0]: I know of one exception, though it looks like an honest mistake.

Civil forfeiture is a direct and obvious violation of the US Constitution and shouldn't even exist under the USA legal system and is dangerous to the US legal system:

"Article the sixth... The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Police under the US Constitution have to go before a judge and court and make an Oath under perjury of law describing the items to be seized. There has to be a justification and supported by affirmation meaning evidence and supporting facts. In the case of the building that was seized it was operating a perfectly legal business under state law. It had the necessary licenses and permits. There needs to be a direct challenge against this type of extra-judicial seizure in the US Supreme Court as it's a clear challenge to the entire operation of the rule of law and legal system.
Slower speeds have an outsized effect on safety. Consider that taking 20% off the velocity of the car takes 40% off the kinetic energy of the car, and between 20% and 40% off of the distance it takes for the car to come to a stop.
In this case it wouldn’t matter as the city would just seize it from the llc. They never charged anyone with a crime so they could just not charge the owners of the llc.
Personally I prefer 4 days workweeks, especially if I need to commute. Just having one less day of commute per week really makes a difference.
Sure, but by the time you do the CPU manufactures have come out with a different CPU with different ideal optimizations. If your code is compiled you just flip a switch on the compiler and your code is now better optimized for the new CPU than your previously well optimized code. If this really matters you can compile several hundred different versions of your code for the several hundred different X86 variants out there. And if management wants to try ARM, compiled code it is just a small change to your compiler to do that, again possibly hundreds of different executable for all the ARM variants if you feel the need.
I've been coal rolled in my prius at least three times. Somehow I find it funny/sad rather than infuriating.
Related: We're a Czech couple, currently planning our vacation in the Netherlands, and we too are on a very tight budget. I wanted so bad to get there by train and spend the week there riding Dutch trains all over the place, but man, the train journey there and back is just as long as a car trip (~10-12 hours) and costs at least twice as much. Looks like we'll be taking our 50 MPG car instead and since it will be there with us, also using it to get around the country. Sorry about the pollution.

Nothing about federal marijuana legalization would have prevented the local police from performing civil asset forfeiture.
Maybe I’m crazy, but I don’t think a four day work week is radical enough. A web developer today is easily 5x more productive than a web developer 30 years ago: we have off the shelf databases, frameworks, and a huge ecosystem of open source libraries. If I can produce the same output as a web developer 30 years ago, but at 1/5th the time, then why am I not working 1 day a week for the same pay? What’s the point of modern technology if it can’t free us up to enjoy life? Same goes for workers in every industry that have benefited from technology.
It's a project they built for fun. If they find the idea of building a new language alongside the OS fun, then they should do that! If I were in their shoes I would find that fun too!

C is much better for this now, you are not tied to the processor architecture and thus can switch to a better/cheaper cpu easily.

The cell modem he is using already has a 32 arm cpu maybe even multi-core.

32bit it the new 8bit.

C is the new assembly for 99% of code.
You can drop to assembly for the 1% where it matter.

They’re not. You are either using PGO and getting effective inline or you are just guessing.
Most of the time it's not possible to trust items you add to the backlog related to tech debt will actually get done.

Why make lists that will never be completed?

Or put another way, there is no pain that can't be avoided by ignoring the backlog.

You can only ignore these TODOs until your build fails, then you have to reflect on whether to do them, push them into the future, or delete them.

I think this works because it really makes backlog grooming a group activity where everyone is involved, so everyone feels they have a say in setting priority.
This is awesome! For comparison, a single fare ticket from the Stockholm suburb I live in to city Central costs about €8.70.
9 euros for a whole month seems like a dream!
Daily fare cap is now £7.70 (€9.10) in London, and that's just for Zones 1-2. £14.10 if you want to go out to Zone 6.
Somewhat off topic, but still:

> long-distance busses (like the one between Munich and Zürich)

Zurich is too deep in Switzerland to be covered anyways. (Salzburg, Kufstein, Basel Bad Bf, etc. however are in Austria/Switzerland but part of German rail rates and included in 9€ tickets)

And that DB bus doesn't exist anymore since the new electrified railway line to Lindau was opened two years ago, as Munucih-Zurich got way faster by train. (I guess Flixbus still offers it but Flix isn't part of 9€ either)
It’s a land area thing. Move to a small town where everybody’s crammed together, or move to a big city where everybody’s crammed together. Go to the country where everybody has a mile between them, that’s what they mean by out of the city.
The primary definition in the Oxford English dictionary is "opposed to sociality, averse to society or companionship." It cites a usage dating to 1797. The secondary definition given, which you claim is the only correct one, similarly cites a usage dating to 1802. If the usage you complained about was ever a mistake, 200 years of usage means it is no longer.
Yep, that's exactly what we've been talking about.
Yes, there are! For example, I have travelled between Strasbourg and Basel (Switzerland) on a regional train, as well as between Milan and Nice, and between Nice and Barcelona (changing trains at the Spanish border due to the change of rail gauge). There's also a regional line connecting Barcelona and Puigcerdà (a town in the Spanish Pyrenees) which at certain times continues its service a further ~5km and terminates in Latour-de-Carol, a tiny village on the French side which is served by French regional services.
It only makes the streets more dangerous if people keep speeding.

> additional market distortion

Are they also thrilled by "additional market distortions" like subsidized oil import and processing and road infrastructure?

Or should we remove all tax-funded infrastructure investment and go back to the middle ages?
Yes! And it's more than just the need to appear to be working—in the office I don't get much choice what I do with the breaks that I do take.

At work, many of my "breaks" are involuntary distractions that yank me out of flow, and during the others I can't do anything productive for my home life, so I end up reading HN or something similar.

At home, I can go out and play with my kids, take care of something that's been bugging me around the house, start dinner, or walk the dog. Those breaks not only give me the subconscious processing time I need, they also check things off my to-do list that have been distracting my subconscious, allowing me more focus for my work. I end each day having done more at work and more at home, so when Saturday rolls around I don't feel like I'm playing catch-up.
> Other players doing this kind of work use higher-level platforms, which (...) are less reliable

> war -> food problems

Speaking as a farmer, it seems strange to credit the war. The price of the food products I sell started going sky high in 2020. And by fall of 2021 we were already growing quite concerned about fertilizer availability, which pushed prices even higher. The war wasn't on anyone's minds during those times.

The war hasn't helped, but we already had big food problems long before that.

Civil asset forfeiture makes a little bit of sense where it was first used: dealing with the cargo of smuggler's ships. It was almost impossible to prosecute a ship owner who lived across the ocean in Europe, so simply seizing a ship and its smuggled goods was a viable alternative.

Unfortunately it's expanded to all sorts of ridiculous and blatantly unconstitutional seizures in the last few decades.

I think the trouble is that even educated humans struggle to talk intelligently about medical and psychological problems. We all worry about our health and mortality, and the idea that a psychological or medical condition threatens your life is somewhere between an existential threat, and a worrying cloud over your life. As a result, people easily become wedded to the idea that a particular condition is affecting them, or someone close to them. And they lose their normal objectivity when it comes to swallowing up medical jargon and scientific-sounding names for nebulous psychological / educational phenomena.
12 years ago, we used asm for the inner loop that does peak metering in Ardour. It is essentially doing a greater_than comparison on every single sample that passes through the program, which could potentially be millions per second. Using SIMD instructions directly from asm with a not-small buffer size reduced the CPU cost by 30%.

Last year, someone was updating this code to include ARM and some newer SIMD instruction sets. We discovered that in that time period, gcc has gotten to the point where even our hand-crafted asm is barely any better (and in some cases worse) than gcc's own generated code.

If that was true then it would be trivial to just push a pull request and update the ticket to review it.

> Then the problem of convincing others is itself typically more than the sum of total work.

When that happens, that's the universe trying to explain to you that you're wasting your time with stuff that does not add tangible value.

This does not change with petty office politics moves such as ignoring your team's best judgement and continue pushing for something that was already decided to be a waste of time.
Very hard to know what is truth and what is a smear campaign. I hope, if this is truth, the lady disclose the proof.

Well, you can travel across Germany if you don't mind changing trains several times. And the "free traveling across Germany" means that one ticket is valid for all regional trains and all public transport in all Germany (as opposed to e.g. a ticket bought in Munich only being valid in the Munich region), which is quite a good offer anyway...

Thanks for making the distinction clear!
As a lead this won't help me. I have to be able to meet people from overseas and my job would be harder if my work hours dictated that I could not.

Shrinking the window of days I can meet with them is very effective though.
sure, I have interest, IF you are able to say you are asking because you don't know and want to learn, not because you want to argue

this is not misdirection, it's giving you the opportunity to show your questions are being asked _in_good_faith_, because I don't see a point to answering a bad faith question

you've had two opportunities to do so, and both times chosen not to simply say that your objective is learning, rather than arguing. instead, you extremely conspicuously chose to deflect from such a clarification

in my experience, when someone is hiding and actively avoiding clarifying their objective in a discussion, it is because their objective in the discussion is not clarity.

tl;dr: you say you want an answer to your question, but if you think you already know the answer, then your question doesn't need another one,

and if you DON'T think you already know, it should be easy for you to just say that, and that you don't intend to argue with whoever would teach you the answer

How JavaScript Works: Database Indexing: The Good and Bad Parts
If you have a million or a ton of data with transactions of retrieval in seconds, you can’t even escape opting for Indexing. Performance is key for most products, especially e-commerce services. The solution is to reduce the response time and the database is optimized to perform this search. We are only worried about the column to index and the primary key is always the index.

In this article, we will learn more about this by focusing on the good and downsides of Indexing
Seems a simple way would be that people who have assets seized should get the greater of a) $20k OR b) 3x the value of items seized AND c) attorneys fees

At least this allows 1) people to litigate smaller seizures 2) creates disincentives for the more abusive cases

> If the train number begins with RE or RB, you’re good, but of course, those are the slow ones that stop in every village along the way.

Well, that is not exactly true now, is it. REs do actually skip the vast majority of "villages" and are far from being the slow ones, comparatively.

Anyway, for comparisons sake here is some Hamburg -> Berlin options:

- By car (with low traffic, according to GMaps): 3h20

- Regional Trains (the ones you can use with 9-eur-ticket): 4h10, including 1-3 train changes depending on connection

- All trains: 1h50 with no change

Given that going by car will be considerably more expensive than a regional ticket (even the none-9-eur version) I would say that +1h might be a reasonable trade-off for a lot of people.
