My guess is that it is because for int `x == hash(x)`. This means that if your integers are smaller than the number of buckets in the hashtable they will fall into buckets in order and the iteration is likely just over the buckets.

For example you can see that by adding a large power of two to the numbers you can see that they are sorted by the remainder (as it seems that the default number of buckets is a power of two):

How to Validate Names
Recently at work I had a discussion about how _not to_ validate names and found this quite detailed summary about all the tricky aspects of name validation.
Being almost completely uninformed on the details of Apple/TSMC's dealings, I'm curious, would Apple ever position themselves to get into chip fabrication? I'm sure there are big reasons this is unlikely but it seems like if anyone could do it, it's Apple.
Yeah well, I think Berlin is still doing better than most big cities on this front.
Most people in the industry, at least in the West, are not coerced or forced, they simply do it because they can make an order of magnitude more money than they can make waiting tables.
That said, it's important to remember that "sex work" includes prostitution, but is not limited to prostitution. It's a broader umbrella term for porn, stripping, camming, etc.
This is great reply. Do you think this has been written about in "pop" or academic psychology or sociology? I would like to read more about this idea.

In an ideal world yes, but in the real one they are just normal people like you and me. Some are good, some bad, some in the middle.

It’s certainly true that the decades long continuing wealth transfer away from the middle class to well-connected elites that incidentally funds your work involves more than just elected politicians. As you note unelected bureaucrats also have their role to play, as do lawyers, lobbyists, and a whole host of other classes of more or less directly involved grifters in addition to ancillary beneficiaries such as yourself.

It is nice to see your correct assessment of the irrelevance of the will of the electorate though. Until that becomes broadly understood I see little hope of any meaningful reform.
You should read "the practice of programming", he (well mostly Rob Pike if I understand the relationship) has some well reasoned criticism of the ways people use debuggers. In fact it is not silly - debuggers often make people feel more productive than they really are, so if you use a debugger (which I do once in a while) be careful to be objective about them.
On the other hand, pay does tend to be a good proxy for whether I can afford rent and groceries, so it's not entirely without interest.
I learned about git "worktrees" the other day, which lets you have different branches of the same repo checked out at the same time. So, for example, you could have different node_modules/ folders (one per branch) and not need to reinstall them every time you switched. https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree

Sadly, the IntelliJ support for them was very weak (they worked, sort of, but project configurations etc. weren't copied over... it was essentially treated as a different project altogether).

I'm still not 100% sure how it's better than just checking out the same repo in different folders to begin with. But then again most of Git is totally confusing, lol.

Severing this tie between Germany and Russia benefits America. If you don't understand this then you haven't been paying attention. Furthermore, doing it in a way that takes the blame off the German government is beneficial to the German government. The German people will be uncomfortable in the short term, but in the long run severing this link between their country and Russia will be good in the long run for them and the rest of NATO.
I think the progressive label comes from two angles: there’s a lot of history of religious moralizing and policing around this which these days identifies strongly with conservatism (note especially how that often shifts blame from the patrons to the workers), and that starts with the idea that there’s something uniquely degrading about this in way that there isn’t about, say, physical work which might leave you damaged for life or jobs which are basically lying or harassing strangers. It might be interesting to think about exactly why you think that’s worse than, say, working in a meat processing plant with a high rate of injury or being a collections agent for a hospital.

The second is having empathy for the worker, a key progressive position. That says, for example, that if you do think that there’s something truly degrading about the work the answer is to have economic and social policies which reduce the number of desperate people without good alternatives, or to have better regulation of the middlemen profiting from the situation, etc. rather than traditional approaches focused on punishing workers.

In stock photography, if there are people in it, they can only make money on that image if there are signed model releases. If you have signed model releases, it is staged and posed.

Sure, someone could take a candid image and then after the fact attempt to gain releases. However, that's not workflow with a high margin of success. At that point, the "model" has all of the power. Also, crowd shots in public streets blah blah.
As a user of (the modern) C++ I would still prefer Lisp's (lack of) syntax. The abundance of parentheses does not bother me, and I find, for example,

Yep, right after they hire about 30,000 people long-term to manufacture the chips, and spend $20B on plants, which would take 5+ years to complete.

It's almost as if TSMC asking or an extra 6% when inflation is at an all-time high is reasonable, and Apple doesn't really have a viable alternative...
> Apple is cutting back iPhone Pro production [1]

No, iPhone Pro demand is very strong. The regular iPhone demand appears soft or didn't ramp up. None is this is a surprise since early adopters would likely be the same who buy the Pros.
Surely the fact that big businesses want us to do this doesn’t mean that this is necessarily the future nor that wanting it is forward-thinking.
You're absolutely right. Some people think sex should be limited to married couples, and some of those people also think they're within their rights to force other people to adhere to their moral code. They are wrong. What other consenting adults do with each other is not the province of anyone's morality but their own.
I would think the moral calculus is different when the non-consensual activity is sex vs. eg. cutting timber or cooking fast food. A single rape is a lot more traumatizing then a decade of physical labor. I don't know anything about how common involuntary sex work is, so I won't argue a broader point; I just think the equivalency doesn't hold up.
> There are objectively correct ways to search a graph

Objectively false.

Years ago I was talking to some sort of CS professor who had been specializing in networking. He mentioned that within an organization you typically see network's being mapped out with dijkstra, but between them (with BGP for example) you actually see packets routed the long way around. He claimed service providers did this because it allowed them to charge their competitors more money when they had to use their network. Although, a more charitable interpretation is perhaps that a service provider will naturally want its own traffic to have the best experience and will send their competitors traffic the long way so that they don't over saturate the network of their primary customers.

Perhaps the best of all worlds would be mapping your network such that your primary customers get the optimal path using dijkstra. Then you figure out how to get your competitor's traffic routed as fast as possible without dropping your primary customer's packets. Maybe something a genetic algorithm might be good at figuring out?

There are some objective things in this world. The optimal way travel from point a to point b in a graph is one of them. However, this is the optimal way to travel, not the objectively correct way to travel.

I once traveled home from work using the backroads in a move that cost me probably 30 extra minutes. Roads are a graph. I followed the objectively non-optimal path. However, the way the clouds were that day formed something like 20 rainbows. Which I got to gawk at the whole way home. Objectively non-optimal, but not objectively incorrect.
i think some people have a "strong will to dominate", it has nothing to do with how much thought they put into their opinions (although putting down thought does help a lot), i think it just a psychological/physical phenomenon (a function of ego, pride, hubris, wanting to be the center of attention etc...) . Throughout my life, i saw myself as an individual on a journey to fulfill my curiosity, whenever circumstances dictated that i push my opinion onto others, i would rather retreat than to convince people that i was right.

I've stopped being able to reliably find an animated gif and copy and paste it.

One used to be able to just right click on an image and copy it. Now, I only get a still. I try clicking into the website that hosts the image and it's click, click, click just to get anywhere close to the size I want and often times its not even an animated gif anyway because they do some sort of media query and serve me up an uncopyable movie instead.

The web sucks now. People work around it with bots and the like on Reddit, but I feel like the economics have been figured out and it's not fun anymore.

Instead, we use /giphy in our Slack and hope the algorithm finds something that kinda-sorta was what we were thinking.
Of course it is comparable. They are not quite the same thing, sure, but for many people they are definitely comparable and more often than not, VSCode is the better option. It may not support some things, but the same can be said about the “full blown IDE”.
It has interesting implications for philosophy too. Intelligent people often have strong, but uncritical opinions, despite a lack of training to defend their ideas rigorously.

> We also know that the vast majority of people who work in the "industry" are either coerced by others or forced into it by life circumstances.

Well, the latter part is valid for almost every "bottom of the ladder" style precarious job. Be it agriculture, meatpacking, construction, flipping burgers, hauling trash, handing out Amazon parcels or sex work - all of these don't require much education or training, they're fairly risky (in terms of danger of accidents or other harm) and there's an abundance of potential workers which means the wages are very low.

> Internet porn makes this even worse, since even if they decide to stop, their material will stay online forever.

The irony is, there are so many people shaming anything sexual from erotic art over r/gonewild nudes to full-service sex work, but almost everyone of the shamers is jacking off to porn regularly.

In a decent society without religious bullcrap, there would be no stigma attached and that's it - and we're thankfully heading that way, given that "having an onlyfans" is basically the norm for young women these days employers simply can't afford to shame women for enjoying sex as they won't find staff otherwise.

> Google has a number of completely unrelated businesses. The fact that one of them has to do with advertising doesn't mean it would monetize other businesses through advertising.

Correct, but 80.78% of Alphabet’s revenues were from advertising related income last year. See Note 2 to their financial statements[0]. Alphabet is through-and-through an advertising company at its core. It’s a fair assumption that their other ventures are potentially used to generate more advertising revenue in one way or another.

Also as a former auditor, I’m glad we’ve disclosed your conflict of interest working for the company. Unfortunately that means others cannot take you as seriously as you’d like.

In other words, stores that treat the employees the worst are more likely to unionize. That's not terribly surprising.
Your first and third paragraph are what lawmakers in e.g. Texas use to ban things like anal sex.

Your second paragraph contradicts first and third.

I have no idea what the fourth paragraph is trying to say.
I'm not sure I agree it's particularly good leverage since what happens is Apple ends up buying up all of TSMC's production capacity pushing out other customers.
There is guaranteed business either way, just Apple is more of a guarantee since they are existing.
The other bit is how much Apple invests in TSMC's R&D, which could be a huge loss if Apple moves.

But all this is likely just negotiations and Apple won't be making a move (where to anyway?). Maybe instead of 6% per chip Apple invests a bit more elsewhere in the company to keep production costs as low as possible.
>My argument is that using a pocketable device as a desktop or laptop is a fantasy

It's not. My GPD Micro PC is currently my daily driver laptop, and it fits in my back pocket. I have done CAD work on it with no trouble at all. There's no "Android app" that can compete with the universe of PC software.

You should try one before you make sweeping judgements about what is and isn't possible.
That would mean having sub-optimal chips for 3-5 years in their products while Qualcomm/AMD could finally catch up.

TSMC having undisputedly best litography is advantageous to Apple. It means Apple can buy the whole production and nobody else will be able to compete with their chips. They will lose this if they will make the field more competitive by propping up a competitor.
> I would argue that renting out your body in the most intimate way is very different from most jobs.

When would you do this? I do not see this argument.

We also know this about 95% of employed people, and 100% of those who don't have savings adequate for retirement or sponsors. You don't work, you don't eat.

> Internet porn makes this even worse, since even if they decide to stop, their material will stay online forever.

It would be irrelevant if the material were online forever if large minorities didn't feel it was their duty to punish people indefinitely for ever having done this job.

I know more than a few people who engaged in sex work simply because they’d rather do that for 1 hour rather than make the same money working an entire week at Starbucks, for example. You would be shocked at the kinds of people doing it. Nobody was coerced. If you’re worried about coercion, providing legal protection to sex workers will help eliminate stigma and drive underground operators out of business.
From what I hear apple's latest chips are already so far ahead of amd64 in performance and power consumption that they can easily wait a couple of years. I do not think that this is what they actually want to do, i am only saying that they can even afford that for a few years if they have to.

I am not sure that there is enough demand from smaller clients to 100% cover apple's usual capacity.

in short this seems to be a real bras de faire :)

I always wondered. Does anyone actually know of legitimate useful applications of deepfakes (and related AI tech that manipulates videos)? All I can think of is lipsyncing translations of shows/movies (and to be honest, that's at best a gimmick).

I see dozens of problematic uses of the tech everywhere in the news. But, other than "it's cool that we can do this" demos, I have not yet seen 1 application of this that I'd actually want.
Okay, but banning or further criminalizing sex work is not going to reduce human trafficking, but increase it, for the same reason that banning drugs doesn't reduce illegal drug sales. The demand is pretty inelastic. HRW has a decent primer on the topic here: https://www.hrw.org/news/2019/08/07/why-sex-work-should-be-d...
Society? You're painting an awfully broad brush. I absolutely think it should be regulated because of the reasons you name, but it's mainly particular demographics that want sex work banned, and generally these demographics don't actually care about the well-being of sex workers (re: provably negative consequences for sex workers in previous situations where such work was made illegal or otherwise deregulated and punished).

I didn't up- or down-vote you, but I would guess it is because your comment was an ad hominem, attacking her personality rather than her arguments. People can be angry for good reasons or bad, so calling her angry doesn't advance the debate at all.

I'm not a physicist, but it seems to me that her main point seems valid: for the past ~50 years, theoretical physics has been engaged in a process that is rewarding (with research money, publications, tenure, prestige, etc.) people creating theories that cannot ever be proven true or false.

Science is supposed to be founded on the scientific method: create a theory, then create an experiment that can prove or disprove it. Now we have a hamster-wheel of experiments producing theories that produce more experiments, and the goal is to keep the hamster-wheel running rather than come to a conclusion.
