There are 3 separate statements you could make.

SweetHome 3D IS slower than competitive projects written in C++.

C++ tools tend to be faster than comparative Java tools because of fast startup time, no GC, and being the default choice for performance sensitive projects for decades.

C++ is definitively faster because of inherent advantages.

You appear to be jumping to the third based on the first which appears erroneous in argument even if you turned out to be correct. In actuality it appears that for most things in the same ballpark language choice isn't necessarily the only or even the most important factor. This is even more true for things where startup time is an inconsequential factor, with better GC that doesn't result in lengthy pauses, and where development time is a substantial limiting factor wherein being quicker to work with may result in more time available to improve other design choices yielding as good or better results.
It's "experimental" in the sense that it's incomplete, but the core tech is mature and works fine. Full support means supporting all the third party modules along with interpreter extensions, every part of the standard library etc.
I think you're repeatedly "dad-splaining" basic science facts. True of false?

When has grief done its job? I've never been held at gunpoint yet somehow experienced stress on many occasions. How many of those do you want to subject me to? The DSM generally says 6 months to become a disorder for most things from what I've read. How about considering a question that isn't trivial to answer?
Thanks! Added to the list, it’s suspiciously only a little bit faster than CPython 3.11 though, which probably needs more investigation…

ED> Looks like CPython prefers using a dict as a lookup table for opcodes (which is what this implementation does), while PyPy prefers having a long series of if-statements. Hmm.
No, it's unethical to do it without disclosure. You can have as many jobs as you want as long as they are aware of one another.
It's not ironic at all. There's plenty of stuff I'd rather do. The question is how does one support themself.

"You can change your mind in an instant and commit to either generating cash flow from a business or real estate, or more passive income via investments in financial securities like stocks and bonds."

Generally requiring significant capital. The question is how does one secure that capital without work.

>And, even when they are on average, implementing stuff on Assembly is no guarantee of speed. Quite often, higher level abstractions lead to optimizations that are difficult to replicate if one is operating at a lower level.

When browsing Code Golf, most often than not, the fastest implementation is in assembler. And sometimes it can be 2x - 4x faster than next fastest implementation which usually is C++.
In the civilian cases, there may be large economic benefits to the way people behave when they expect rescue if something goes wrong, even if very few particular rescues make economic sense per se.

There's likely a similar argument to made for the military, but involving morale and willingness to take personal risks in emergencies or times of war. Esprit de Corps and all that.

These both in addition to all other arguments in favor of such rescues.
There's probably a term for it, but I'm noticing being "deliberately unsuccessful" is becoming more of a thing with the sketchier members of my family. Seems to be a tactic in the NEET playbook.

As I see it, "intentional failure" is just a euphemism for sabotage.
Relationship management and government oversight.
It's about who's your threat. The us government probably like having an American company (Intel) that distributes an attack vector. But they probably don't like being distributed one.
It's acceptable to look things up that don't matter.

The way I see it, you should have the machinery in your head, so that you can derive things if pressed, and you should have the ability to work largely in your head and actually ponder things, but you shouldn't necessarily memorize formulas.

For example, I haven't even memorized the formula for the quadratic equation, I just complete the square in my head every time.

I think it's important to end up knowing them and to end up being able to calculate with paper and pencil to some degree and because calculus is very basic it's something one should be able to do in that way.

You should be able to imagine a right angle triangle sitting on the hypotenuse of another right angled triangle and figure out the x and y coordinates of the corner and how to get the sum of angles formulas from that, or to in general imagine things from calculus, like how the product rule can move what what is differentiated from one function to another etcetera.
Yep we use that too but it has nothing to do with IME.

We also have Dells with iDRAC cards. But it's a nice thing with iLO that it's built-in, and it can be managed on a completely dedicated out-of-band network. Unlike the IME thing.

I understand there's a point to this in stuff like servers, but for workstations?
Gotta pump up the numbers before market close and earnings
My work computer was recently upgraded from a Dell Precision 7520 to a Dell Precision 7670 (i7-12850HX, intel graphics, 32GB RAM, 2x 1TB NVMe SSD). We use Dell Precisions for developer laptops and I am happy with them. I personally run Linux on them, and have a Windows VM (on KVM) for Windows-only stuff.

As Linux distro, Debian has been my favorite since forever (Potato). The last couple of years, I used to run Debian Stable, but I went back to Debian Testing on the Dell Precision 7670 for better support for the Alder Lake cpu and graphics.

I am a software engineer and work mainly with .net; mostly cross-platform .net 6 nowadays.

Regarding the 7670:

- love the screen (1920x1200)

- love the look and the weight; thinner and lighter than the previous generations

- I like the big trackpad, allthough I miss the physical buttons (middle click is very difficult in a dim environment, because you have to aim about right in the middle of the bottom of the trackpad)

- I was suspicious about the keyboard, but I'm pleasantly surprised: I like typing on it

- why-oh-why does every laptop vendor always try to be "innovative" with the keyboard?

- I hate the half-size up & down

- I'm happy that the num-lock got a light to indicate whether num lock is on or off

- I hate that "home" and "end" got dual function with "F11" and "F12"

- I hate the position of usb-c + headphone out on the right side of the laptop: that specific usb-c port is the only one that can be used for an external screen; if you want to use those, the cables are right in the position where you would use an external mouse (honestly, no one at Dell noticed this??); this is annoying because I usually use an external mouse (even though the trackpad is decent)
> Yes, I'm really focused on the commitment mechanism

I think that's smart. Honestly, the UI is nice and all, but I don't think that's the killer feature. The great thing here is that folks don't want to be an asshole to friends/family/coworkers. They don't want to nag about getting commitments or on-time payments. They don't want to be a jerk about not giving money back if someone bails the night before a trip, or whatever. But Villagers can be the asshole (in a good way!) and enforce the agreed-upon terms so the trip planner doesn't have to.
Perhaps we can stop at least spending the public's money on parents who don't value educating their children.

Yup.. a 240x performance difference (zig-py) has very little to do with the language, vm, or whatever. As soon as I saw that, I dismissed the benchmark.

By these standards a 10 year old cpu with a beefy GPU will beat any new cpu as well.
Let me guess. Applicants upload resume.
They are then asked to paste 30 different fields that could be parsed from the resume. They figure “if you can’t be arsed, I can’t be arsed” and then thy go apply at a place that’s not so cavalier about wasting their time. But it turns out that most companies hiring practices are archaic and broken. Hence the “most” part of the headline.

> I can do(and have done) the exact same thing with a Debit card payment, so using a credit card has offered no extra benefit here.

If you're in the USA (elsewhere I don't know the rules) there is a big difference that isn't immediately obvious.

With a credit card, you are not liable by law (regulation) so you always have this benefit.

With a debit card, most reasonable banks offer no liability as a customer retention perk, but nothing requires that to be true. They could at any moment decide to leave you hanging, if they decide it's cheaper to lose you as a customer than offer the benefit.
If you want insane you should look at the old sixth form certificate system in NZ - each school is allocated a set of grades to assign to kids based on the grades the prior year got from school certificate. As in say your school got 5 As, 5 Bs, 5 Cs, etc in school certificate exams (the nationwide standard tests from when you are 15), then your school would get 5 1s, 5 2s, etc (1 being the best). Then the school gets to choose how those available grades are distributed - so say the 5 As came from math exams, the school could allocate all the 1s to the English department, so the best grade you could get in 6th form cert outside of the English department would be a 2. I had a friend who was a super talented musician, but his highest possible grade in 6th form music was a 3. Despite getting essentially As across the board in school cert music his best 6th form cert grade for music was notionally a C+/B- or some such.

Given you could get into uni on a high enough 6th form cert grade this is obviously absurd (I think that it was something like your total score for your best 4 subjects had to be less than 6, so you can see how one course consuming 3 points even if you were absolutely perfect screws that)

It depends. At a certain scale, strategically adding headcount can absolutely increase profit. It doesn't seem outrageous to think if a team of 20 engineers can improve efficiency by marginal percentage points for one component it can have enormous financial repercussions.

It's a modulating boiler, it's not on/off, rather it has levels.

The lower the level the more efficient it is. It's better to run the boiler on low for 3 hours, vs high for 1 hours.

How do you know if to run the boiler on low or high? You check the outdoor temperature. You also do a backup: If the boiler has been running for more than an hour, increase the temperature slightly every 15 minutes. Once it goes off, reset the temperature to the one determined by outdoor temperature.
> people who invested in housing in the last couple years

If you "invested" in housing, you get what you deserve.

My house serves a functional purpose. It is not a status symbol, it is not a means of extracting rents from others. It shelters and operates as a home base for my family.

Real estate "investors" who lose everything in this next cycle will elicit precisely zero tears.
the plan is to support remote access (eliminating VPN) to cloud-hosted database (in AWS, GCP) and also self-hosted database in the on-premise infrastructure. we be be leveraging access management service (eg AWS IAM) for passwordless access to cloud-hosted and will be leveraging cert-based authentication for self-hosted database.

For kubernetes cluster, we will be delivering a kubernetes service that will facilitate to access the cluster remotely from the kubectl.

I don't mind upfront cost for reliability and longevity. I'd rather not be tied into a difficult consumable deal though I realise that's part of the hardware deal.
The problem is there are three to 4 veins of QA. SDET (largely automators, tend to scale and manage the automation), analysts, who go over test results and pull out trends, manual testers/non-automators, because nothing brings out the bugs/bad assumptions like putting a non-techie in front of something, and then... well, I'd lump software maintainers/DevOps into it too.

I'm not impressed at all by Gherkin, BDD, or Cucumber. Never once has any business person gone "oooh, let me read the tests!", And in the rare circumstance they do, what you'll find is a secondary grammar develops where particular step implementations gain loaded significance, far and above the natural language implementation of a step, making things complicated.

At this point, I just tell people to keep notes, make checklists, get familiar with the data model for test data authoring, then go eith God, and always put the User first.

Mileage varies greatly, but there's a culture problrm in a lot of places where "the fiture must go out" always takes precedence over "the spec must be right".

And no one ever wants to rip apart testing tools to figure out how they work.

> You'll pay for any house at any rate 2-3+ times over if you just pay the minimum payments.

Maybe that's the problem - making only the minimum payments?

The people making only the minimum payment due would probably have screwed themselves in other ways, financially, even if interest remained the same.

I bought my house in Dec-2016[0]. My outstanding principle owed to the bank right now is just a hair over 17% of what the original principle was when I was granted the loan.

Whenever my circumstances improved (wage increases due to moving jobs, cash bonuses in employment, etc), the extra money each month always went into my mortgage, despite complaints from my wife that we could do with a nice holiday in some other part of the world (or that she could do with a new car[1]).

That's basically 6 years. Now perhaps there are people who did not have their income improved over 6 years, but I don't think that the majority of borrowers experienced no income improvement[2].

The real problem is that borrowers have been making the minimum monthly payments, and spending the increased income elsewhere (new iShinies, new cars, new furniture, expensive holidays ... whatever).

People underestimate just how much inroads they could make into their principle if they didn't have high monthly car payments, or "need" a 24-month cell plan that basically sells them the phone at twice the price because "Look, I get all these minutes and data for free each month".

[2] I admit, I experienced drastic income improvement (roughly 40% increase) when I switched from being an embedded developer to a backend developer. Completing an MSc didn't hurt either.

I can't do this - it takes me several minutes to adjust the shower water temperature to the correct temperature after turning it off. (The difference between boiling and freezing is like 1 degree of rotation, I'm only slightly exaggerating.)

Eventually I'll get a new valve, but right now changing the water flow also changes the temperature.
Of the two sides, only one is currently being paid to address the companies needs. If they are indeed a waste of time, then you have found another problem that needs addressing.
