No no I totally get that. It's just....so expensive it seems unrealistic. I pay for /e/OS and /e/Cloud...I pay for a Hetzner box and give money to a number of open source projects. If I'm not their target audience, I'm seriously wondering who is. Maybe I just don't make enough.

Anyways, great service, I hope they figure it out, but I really think they need to get the cost per search down.
Sure all of those things contributed but the main problem seems to always be bad leadership. I wouldn't be surprised if they ever had people trying to convince the proletariat that all those barbarian invasions, pandemics and catastrophes were hoaxes promoted by the rich land owning Romans.
Outlook at least offers good performance. The ui could be better. On the other hand teams takes more resources than excel, my ide and browser with 100 tabs.
I've tried a lot of things with eggs, but one time I threw them in my Air fryer - 150°C for 15 minutes and then in cold water. It's so easy method, they almost never break and I get so consistent results I have not tried anything else after. Air fryers, eggs and cook level preferences are of course not the same for everyone so you might have to try around little bit, but IIRC I got the perfect result on second try.
I seems to me that Rome is more of a Rorschach test than anything else. Because there was no single cause that definitively ended the empire. Ask 20 historians to tell the prioritized story of Rome's decline, and you'll get 21 largely distinct tales. If you want to blame moral decline, you can. If you want to corrupt political systems, poor monetary policy, immigration, disease, war, social dis-integration (hyphenated only to emphasize the meaning), wealth inequality, or even self inflicted accidental poisoning - you can.

And the worst part of all is that even if we had complete and absolutely perfect information on the decades leading to the end, you probably still couldn't find "the cause." Empires fail long before they collapse - inertia. One can easily argue that the Soviet Union failed decades before 1989. But for anything so monumental, inertia was enough to keep the corpse of a system moving forward for decades to come. And in the time of Rome, when the speed of dictate was that of carriage, sail, (and on rare occasion - pigeon) - this effect would have been magnitudes greater, which is difficult to even begin to appreciate the implications of.

Perhaps the most interesting, and telling, thing of all is how empires towards their end tend to share not just one of the "symptoms", but many.
most of the cables I used did have that... but the "top" side was only ever usable with laptops... lots of desktops had the ports upside down, and other USB hosts like monitors, TVs, chargers, cars frequently have the ports sideways, or top/bottom...
There were several failures from converted ex-automotive engines. Some of those were related to vibration; others to the much higher percentage of power that an airplane engine runs for hours on end.

My engine might last for only 2000 flight hours between overhauls. In those 2000 flight hours, it's likely to burn ~30K gallons of fuel. Taking that as a proxy for the total energy generated, 30K gallons of fuel will take a typical car almost a million miles. How many cars reach 1 million miles without major engine work?

There were also a bunch of (IMO misguided) attempts to fit liquid cooled engines into aircraft. What do you have absolutely no shortage of in flight? Fast moving, cool air. What do you have no tolerance for in flight? Loss of coolant.

It's not impossible to improve upon them, but aircraft engines have gotten to a local maximum of sorts where they're pretty darn good at what they do and the maintenance needs and failure modes are pretty well understood.
Yes. In these cases, which aren't all - DoorDash does have contracts with many businesses - DoorDash is acting as a reseller, purchasing food at retail and selling it on to the customer for profit, at least when they get the prices right - www.bbc.com/news/technology-52724062
The fastest way to cover long distances in those days was by water.
I appreciate that but I don't want to be sucking money out of an enterprise I'd prefer to see succeed. I search a lot, it's just not viable unfortunately.
DoorDash also sets prices independently of the restaurant menu. In some cases this means DD prices are higher than the store, in others DD prices it lower than the restaurant, and takes a loss in hopes of gaining market share.

> It's feasible to message the blimp that quarantine is recommended

It's just as feasible to message an airplane, so again I don't see how limiting the speed of travel is what needs to be done.

What needs to be done is to use the speed of information to enable people to take appropriate action. Unfortunately, our society's institutions massively screwed this up. They were telling us in February 2020 that COVID wasn't a big deal, no need to worry, go about your business as usual--at exactly the time when, as we now know in hindsight, we should have been doing things like shutting down international travel and quarantining people who were entering countries until the incubation period had passed. Fortunately for my wife and me, we didn't buy the story we were being told and started taking our own personal precautions months before any so-called experts were recommending it.

Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook had Kyle Harper on their podcast recently [1] and he went over topics in this book for about an hour.

He brought up that people that lived in railroad towns in the US in the 19th century were shorter than they were elsewhere, resulting from more stressors related to living in a population-dense area with higher rates of disease transmission. And the same applied to urban parts of the Roman Republic/Empire.

But, here [2], another group make the case for pollution being the cause of stunted growth in the UK, which reminds me of this article in The Atlantic pointing out that pollution in parts of the Roman Empire of ~150 AD was only surpassed >1500 years later in the industrial revolution [3].

So maybe the higher density-shorter (and generally less healthy) population relationship is a combination of factors.

>easy-to-peal

I see people struggling to peel eggs a lot, however, from what I've seen it's always the technique that's non-optimal, not the cook on the eggs. What I mean is that ANY hard/soft-boiled egg will peel quickly and easily with the right technique.

I ate hard boiled eggs a lot as a child (it's cheap protein) and I was always taught to peel them with a spoon.[1]

They add up.

A penny here, a penny there, and soon you're talking something like $0.15/cable.

If you sell a million cables, that's $150k.

But there's also the fact that people usually buy stuff based on price. If you go on Amazon, as a consumer, you're likely to buy the $3.99 cable over the $4.99 cable.

And with the profit margins necessary that $0.15 cost savings can easily translate to a $1-$1.50 price difference for the end consumer.

Interesting! Maybe the stereotype of a tech interview is not the common experience of most developers? This would make more sense and leads me to think that HR is just justifying it's own existence with baroque processes that then make it even less relevant and useful.

You can argue it all you want but the numbers don’t support it. If the demand is going down then why is it becoming more expensive?

Also, white flight in the 60s was a move to the suburbs- many would consider that given the density of 2020, the suburbs are feeling the same crunch. Bellevue and other suburbs are more expensive than Seattle. I’m guessing there are suburbs of SF that are more expensive than SF.
I believe we're watching the USA collapse as you describe, and that despite much wider coverage our understanding of its collapse will, too, be more about the beholder.
Having a place to eat != having a dining room.

Growing up (middle-class; both parents were teachers), we used our dining room to eat maybe 3 times a year. We ate around 1000 meals/year at the kitchen table and maybe 3 at the dining room table.
In my opinion, if you have a business running consistently without any slack, you don't have a real business, it's a zombie business. It's a risky gamble on whether things may improve. Sure, you're paying the bills, today, but when something happens you're toast, and unfortunately, things do tend to happen. I'm not sure it's possible to gesture to many times in history where there wasn't changes occurring, and that's not even factoring in people's personal turmoils either.

And I do think governments have a direct role they can play here, but, maybe also, something that they don't do much of is messaging. I wonder if there's a place to reach out to people running businesses like these and provide some sort of free business counselling, advice or guidance. Maybe some of these business owners would benefit from being reminded about their situations. Many won't, as they have emotional investments in their businesses and probably won't want to hear bad news, but maybe some can be helped? My impression of Americans is that many of them truly believe themselves to be temporarily embarrassed millionaires and also believe that rewards and stability come through the liberal application of enough hard work and years of unrewarded effort. Sometimes that is true, but there are scores who don't achieve what they're after with these methods, particularly because failure is basically invisible (!). Generally I think that it may be time to look at retiring these memes.
I do that as well!

Or this

Line of code <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

With pointing, which breaks it.

@next is a nice way to formalise a break though.
The exercise is a bit weird. The problem statement says "find the record" but all the answers are about printing the median age.

So answer to the question posed? None of the above. One can make a simplifying observation that ages are all < 255. I'd then use a radix sort.

from random import randint
from time import time

x = [(randint(20,80), "John Smith") for x in range(2_300_000)]

start = time.time()
ages = [0] * 256
for entry in x:
ages[entry] += 1
for age, count in enumerate(ages):
total += count
if total >= 2_300_000//2:
print(age)
break
print(time.time() - start)

This is ~1.6x faster than the variant that uses sort with a custom key that someone else posted. If you simplify it into an array of numbers, it's still 5-10% faster on my machine than sort (i.e. comparing pure native code running sort vs running radix sort in interpreted Python).

If you converted this to native code I'm sure this would be over an order of magnitude faster, both because O(N) is faster than O(n log n) and because you're doing a linear scan through the records (just jumping randomly around within a 255 byte array which can be 1 cache line on some CPUs). Indeed, when I compare this in native code [1], on my machine it's 3ms for radix sort processing of 2.3M records vs 77ms (~25x faster). When run with -O0, it's 24ms vs 724ms (~30x faster).

If I needed to find the actual record for the median employee(s) (there can be more than one obviously), I'd just scan over the data linearly a second time which should STILL be faster [2] (in the benchmark it's still 7x faster than comparison sort).

Signal (sending messages in general) has a fractional cost of use, compared to something like a search engine. It is at least 10,000 times cheaper to send a message to another device than to search the web.
It had nothing to do with DRM.

3D audio on the PC was deliberately killed by Creative.

They sued Aureal into bankruptcy, bought it in the court auction, and the day the sale closed they nuked the support website and took the drivers offline.

They used similar scummy tactics to decapitate any other competitors. Then they considered their reverb based spatial audio solution sufficient, and promptly sat on their heels doing zero innovation while collecting a rent.

And them as chip technology improved, a basic "Soundblaster 64" chip became so cheap that motherboard manufactures started bundling it in as a selling point (which made a ton of sense for non gaming PC users btw). Additionally MS stepped in and provided some software spatial functionality within DirectX, as processors had improved to the point where dedicated hardware for it wasn't necessary.

Back then I worked in gamedev, and I briefly considered going into competition with MILES et all with a 3D audio library after the Aureal fiasco, after I stumbled on some interesting papers doing Fresnel Zone Tracing variations as low overhead spatial audio, but ultimately wasn't serious about it vs other options at the time.
I don't know if it's my spec, or if it's because I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.1, but my i5-1260p model with 32GB of RAM is only getting about 3-4.5 depending on if I'm in video calls or just web browser/VS Code.

Until they ban all the old cars?

There’s not really anything that can happen to an older car, aside from a major accident or rust, that can “brick” it. Every part is replaceable and reasonably available for the common ones.

I’m probably going to need to own a car again in the not too distant future and more than likely will just try to find a ‘70s VW to get up and running. Though…I do still technically own a ‘74 VW Bus my dad was using for a gate the last time I saw it around 20 years ago, wonder if he still has that thing?

Everything has become far more competitive and it is now far easier to crash and burn. I had a professor recently be disappointed that I only have a 3.9 GPA because that meant they'd have less funding if I was to do research for them. Thankfully it didn't matter because I couldn't justify foregoing a well paid internship for that position. This is at a university with very little grade inflation - in many classes the average is a D among those who don't drop out in a department with a sub 20% undergrad graduation rate.

At the same time if you want to get ahead in many fields you'll be expected to do 20-40 hours of unpaid work a week, while maintaining crazy high averages. Outside of STEm you often also have to get pretty high academic standards if you ever want to actually use your education. And if you fail out with accumulated student debt where applicable, that's a massive setback that might mean you permanently miss out on financial milestones.

At the same time, the internet doesn't forget, so it's also a lot easier to permanently crash and burn socially.

And it's getting worse every year, too.
