If you see coverage of any countries not part of the western countries, you will see a similar pattern in NYT, BBC, etc. This just looks like a domestic equivalent with one industry in cross-hairs.
With "just" a linked list, you need a turtle (advance one-node at a time), and a hare (advance two-nodes at a time).

If the turtle and hare ever meet, you have a cycle. Otherwise, if the hare reaches the end of the list, you don't have a cycle.
"They" did the same thing? What was "mostly not true" about the CA scandal?
This is also true for other large bureaucracies. I see this type of cherry picking and fighting over credit often at work as well.
I'm more inclined to review if it's a technical product and there aren't already (many) quality reviews, good or bad. It's really hard picking certain items from the pack, and sometimes unless you already know, you have no idea.
Pretty much exactly what I expected. You can replace Google with any other "old school" big tech company (Apple, Microsoft, Amazon) and Twitter with everything that came after it (Uber, Airbnb, Pinterest, Slack and every other successful or failed startup in the last two decades) and the comparison would look the exact same.
How Bullying Manifests at Work
You got me a chuckle here!

I have the same. Body doubling is the single most effective strategy I use whenever I can. I'm extremely accountability (or maybe... validation?) driven.
I'm 99% a buyer (hundreds of items bought, and three items sold, and never again).

I sold a Mavic 2 Pro drone with 5 batteries. The whole process was a mess. Buyer complained that it didn't come with the CrystalSky tablet in one picture (that was only added after the buyer started bidding was requested BY the buyer, to show Flight Logs, was explicitly disclaimed as being a part of the package, and was not in the receipts I sent the buyer). After that, three weeks later:

"The batteries don't work."

"Any of them?"

"Nope. I want a refund."

Note that two of the batteries were less than 4 months old, still in warranty.

He then stated he wanted a refund of $800. Bear in mind, 5 -brand new- batteries would be $670.

No evidence was shown. I stated I'd like to get the original batteries back, as I'd be able to get them replaced under warranty or possibly repaired and recoup some of my money (I was skeptical there was any issue, but still). He agreed. I asked him to send me an eBay message acknowledging that the partial refund was contingent on him sending me the batteries back and that he accepts me disputing the refund if not.

He does so.

Refund is sent (for about $700, to include his return shipping costs).

Less than an hour later I get a message, "USPS says they won't ship damaged batteries so I will not be returning them".

I then suggest we meet in person to exchange them (I live a few hours away, not convenient, but still, $700...). He umms and ahhs, "How will I be able to prove that I gave them to you in person?". I suggest we do it in a police station (his local PD even welcomes people to use their lobby for CL, etc.). More umms and ahhs. "I need to contact eBay support to see if they recommend this." (eBay has a literal FAQ page describing how they recommend doing in person sales, and refunds, and documenting it, and how they support it). "I never heard back from them so I'm not sure what to do". I point this page out again, and he goes silent.

I open a dispute. No evidence provided for damage/faulty goods. Multiple instances of the buyer trying to show something/anything was problematic with the listing. Not abiding by agreement, refusing/avoiding any method of returning damaged items.

"We have closed your dispute. Based on our review, the buyer is entitled to a partial refund for damage. He is not required to return the damaged items".

So he ended up with a Mavic 2 Pro, with less than 20 hours flight time, 5 batteries, for in the order of $950, all told.

eBay is on the side of least resistance, damage or liability, financial responsibility to eBay, no-one else.
Does the graph have static structure? I’m not sure if you’re describing something like an actor system.
Don't know what CEOs do, but a good manager is just supposed to unblock you from business. They are there to make sure you don't have to worry about the CEO stuff and whatever, you can just focus on your job.

If your manager is making technical decisions for you, something might be wrong!
In not sure why cyberattacks would affect the price. For ISPs this is expected to be a dumb pipe. They don't care about the contents, just the volume. (ok, they kinda do, but not at a security level, they're happy for you to be pwned) But DoS protection shouldn't cost that much - you need the capacity to mitigate whether it happens or not. The cost of actually receiving that traffic shouldn't be 100x the normal price.
Hubzilla notably is building the Zot protocol, IMO the coolest and most underrated federating protocol put there.
RAM latency is huge. No amount of prefetching can fix that. If anything, prefetching works better with arrays as RAM reads multiple bytes at once.
How is twitter facilitating a genocide.
The article makes no mention of it.
Most servers implementing ActivityPub also allow RSS/Atom subscriptions.
It depends on the implementation. Python's deque, for example, is implemented as a two-level data structure; a circularly linked list of blocks. If you've got page-sized blocks, then your deque can be sufficiently local for most cases. It introduces a little extra logic, and you'll want to keep around a spare block to prevent thrashing memory if you repeatedly push/pop at the block boundary, but it's often worth the pain if the data structure is anywhere near a hot loop.
And now... we've also hit the ricochet point where now people are taking things backed by a regular centralized database and using blockchain marketing terms for it. Because that's apparently where the $$ is.

I'm crying too :-)
Fact checking is way better than just banning people.

After watching last season. I wasn't so sure if there was going to be a 5th season to be honest...
It's really an ironic saga that's unfolded between Musk and Twitter. I've said many times that I think Twitter facilitates a Jekyll-to-Hyde-like transformation in people that are predisposed to it. I think the fantastically rich are disproportionately represented in that group. If you're surrounded by yes men (and that includes Twitter followers), you're going to turn into an awful person. So Musk has come back to ruin the very thing that created him. This story is not new to humanity. The golem has returned to destroy its creator.
Elephants in the Room
It is not shocking to me, and like I commented in a separate comment here you see it in NYT's coverage of international politics. That is harder for people from US to notice as they don't have the ground truth to tell apart the nuances.
Queues are best implemented with a pow2 cyclic array, and you have a free deque, too.

I still use amazon a lot.. but not always reviews... often I know the product I'm looking for. I'll also tend to look at the negative reviews.. are the reviewers just not knowledgeable about what they bought, broke in shipping, or actually a bad product/seller. It will vary a bit. What sucks, is competitors will pay for bad reviews too.

Funny, as I constantly have to tell folks to not bother using it at the office. Everyone always assumes it has to be faster than arraylist for whatever they happen to be doing this time. I think the vast majority of the time it flat doesn't matter, but I also fully expect LinkedList will lose most speed tests.
Right, but there are also all those other providers who wants you to use their own app. "Being able to connect only with a configuration file" is a necessary but not sufficient condition on my checklist.
Their comment history doesn't demonstrate trolling or false equivalency making, so by principle of charity I will believe it's sarcasm, until proven otherwise.

The other benefit of this kind of data structure is the ability for one object to participate in multiple collections. Otherwise you would have to do some kind of hash map structure to point to them.

> Voters seem to have no problem deciding for themselves who deserves what credit

That is certainly true, but they have a lot of trouble making these kinds of decisions correctly. Much of the time there is an objective fact of the matter regarding the causality between policy and outcome, but discerning it is very hard. In particular, for economic policy the time lag between cause and effect is commonly measured in months or years, and that can be very hard to unwind.
Well, the funny thing is that Twitter itself is THE content

It's not difficult. Keep a pointer to a recently-visited node. After visiting N nodes, update the pointer to the current node, but also double N. If the pointer ever matches the next node, the list has a cycle. The doubling of N ensures that even large cycles will eventually be detected.
the linked list has a wonderful capability that's frequently seen in C where you can do O(1) removal from a list. E.g. you can have an "object" detach itself. This is not possible in Java's standard linked list implementation, among other languages.

in general, inserting and removing elements from a vector requires a memory copying.

There are programming languages that have linked lists as their fundamental data structure, like Lisp and Erlang.

For situations where I don't need random access, linked lists are hard to beat.

Linked lists also make wonderful immutable data structures.

linked lists have wonderful filter and flatmap performance. how much memory copying would a vector require?

A few extracts from the webpage, for a TLDR;

> but Twitter “TLMs” (“tech lead managers”) are more managers and less “tech”.

> I feel like engineers at Twitter are less diligent at adding comments and documentation to their code.
I just used linked lists to make an LRU hard limit on the number of items in an in memory store. Each usage, the pointers are updated to move the item to the head. Each time the list is at the limit, the tail is removed and freed. I may take advantage of the machinery to make it go onto free list. This was Go and the DLL thing is my first use of generics.
I think there's more to cache locality than prefetching. In an array, consecutive elements will be usually be adjacent in physical memory (excepting page boundaries ), so each cache line load where a cache line is larger than the array element will "overfetch" into the next element. This should mean fewer total cache loads and thus more efficient use of memory bandwidth for situations where it is constrained (such as walking a list).
Sounds great, what's the catch?
I think I first learned about linked lists in the context of programming for AmigaOS, which has a standardized form of (intrusive) linked lists that is used throughout the system. I remember being fascinated by the header node which serves as both the head and the tail of a list due to a “clever” field layout: https://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/Exec_Lists_and_Queues

There is no single company driving the PR and marketing for Web3, so the term is whatever somebody wants it to be. But the vague way to describe it is an approach to building web apps with decentralized public blockchains and smart contracts, like DeFi or ENS.

Also R really didn't play well with conda for a while. It seems to be ironed out in recent years, but I remember the issues of previous years where trying to set up a reproducible R environment in conda was an unreliable endeavour.
>max capacity nearly 24/7

At some point during this whole thing, Musk tweeted a bandwidth usage graph that showed that all of the Starlink units combined (many thousands of them) were using a total of 7TB a day. Which is a minuscule amount of data and wouldn't be much of an issue even if it was for a single unit.

I got the impression that they were turning on the super expensive max unrestricted service (which has no incremental cost over the regular service) then pretending that the price of the service times the number of units was money that they were losing every month.
Set two pointers to the head of the list.

Step through the list by one element per iteration with one of them,
and with the other, step every other iteration.

If the two pointers are ever again equal you've found a cycle.

If you hit end of list, no cycle.
It's more than just crypto-bros trying to take over the web.

It's an italian serial conman in a dark room somewhere, pressing "print" on software that generates ostensibly a dollar-equivalent crypto currency out of thin air, wrapped in a network of criminal enterprises that is currently using special 'insider only' versions of those tokens (tether-trons, vs tether-eths) to facilitate the theft of the life savings of a generation of middle class chinese, wrapped in a nesting doll of scams and pyramid schemes, wrapped in the greed, hubris, and legitimate desperation of a generation of 1st world hustlers, all wrapped in crypto-bros trying to take over the world.

If it was just crypto-bros, there wouldn't be anywhere near so much smoke to confuse/conflate with fire: the market manipulation being facilitated by the dirty (and clean, albeit grifted) money entering the system makes the whole thing seem financially bigger than it really is. But despite all the smoke making, it is still just a fart in a colander: the entire crypto market cap, as fanciful and hyperbolic as it is, is still less than the market cap of Apple.

The really astounding part is that so much of this activity is being recorded on publicly accessible server ledgers, in real-time.
I don't get why this seems like a big deal or a negative thing. Why wouldn't you want reporters to be critical? Isn't that like the whole point. That's even why we have freedom of press in the 1st amendment, so journalists can be critical.
> Any time a whiff of union talk for tech workers comes up, the industry recoils in abject horror driven by many years of anti-union propaganda ("unions = evil" or "how DARE you well paid, lazy programmers ask for even more").

I take it you've never seen the 'joke' political surveys that ask the following:

"Do you want to repeal suffrage?"

And naturally, most have no clue that has to do with women's voting rights, and asking to repeal them.

Voters are very stupid. And when a group gets smarter, gerrymandering comes in to 'lower the average'.
Jiggling door handles without consent is a defacto criminal act. It's no different if I tried to pick your wallet as you walked down the street and said, "better me than a criminal..." then flashed my badge.

Is it? I liked Rmarkdown until I discovered org-mode and org-babel. It does a lot of stuff better like the option to tangle chunks into multiple files which is killer (last time I looked Rmarkdown still lacked that, not sure about Quarto) and the ability to do stuff like make a table in my text and then USE it in R for calculations is amazing for making examples or grabbing some random HTML table off a site and doing something.
Okay, that's just rude.
For most use cases a ring buffer either with or without a maximum length will do much better as a queue than a linked list will.

There are some niche use cases where linked lists are good. Lock-free queues are one, and another big set of use cases is where you need hard O(1) insert even with a high constant factor, not amortized O(1).

If they can actually link output to specific input, the lawsuit has merit and more, GPT-3 is a lie. A neural network is supposed to learn how things work, not memorize a large number of examples and spit them out verbatim - or keep connections to specific inputs.

Copilot losing the lawsuit is evidence it’s a case of overfitting, not true ML.
fair point. I wasn't imagining as a sustained thing, but as a "it's 3am, my life is in shambles because I totally time-blindnessed forgot $very_important_thing, and now I'm going to get broken up with/fired and I'm desperate and crying and overwhelmed." kind of first meeting, for capturing forward momentum from new members who just signed up and need a shred of hope. not that something like that is finally what led me to get an official diagnosis, of course. being tired of feeling like a failure is a powerful motivator to sign up, but help later at an appointment I'm going to forget and not go to is worthless compared to any sort of help now.
> 95 out of 100 people would not be able to name the current CEO of Amazon.

I can confirm this; I mentioned him by name to three executives and half dozen middle managers / ICs in a meeting about AWS and nobody had a clue.
There are a lot of factors involved, but given a limited number of cache lines that can be stored in low level cache, I would think there'd be at least some performance penalty for prefetching from non-linear blocks of memory vs the inherent spatial locality in an array/vector, if only because it'd cause more old cache to be evicted.
I'm sorry that therapy didn't work out for you. It could be therapy being misaligned with your goals, or unfortunately it could also just be a bad fit in therapist-client match. I'm in the same boat though, I struggled to find a therapist who was ADHD-informed and solution-focused under my insurance. However, I did find good therapists in the past for my eating disorder and for some other more mood-related challenges present in my family.

I know this isn't the answer you're looking for, but it's definitely an "it depends". Statistically, 83% of our members say by 2 months they're seeing improvement in reaching their goals but I must admit for now it's quite a high level metric with a lot to unpack. It'll depend on a few factors including how specific your goals are, how much time/effort you're willing to put into it, your attitude/mindset coming in, the coach/client rapport, to name a few things. For example, you could come in with 1 laser focused goal and achieve in a few weeks, or you could come in with the want to unpack your goals and find a new career trajectory etc., and that would take quite longer.

Most of our members work in 3-month goals. Some of our members are on their 2nd set of 3-month goals. However, of course there are some that found that they couldn't fit coaching into their life in the way they want and didn't continue after the initial 4 weeks. We do ask that all folks commit to trying for 4 weeks and giving it their best shot since as you mentioned, it's important to develop the coach-member relationship, set proper goals, and start to create some action plans!
Most (all?) of the things that Trump was posting he was posting from his personal account.
I generally agree with him, although there are exceptions. You can't generally replace the functionality that centralized servers provide without some sort of mechanic to compensate and incentivize the decentralized nodes themselves. If you relied on VISA or Paypal and charged a fee for the service in that sense, well you now have to stand up an organization that gets to straddle the network and effectively control it. And now that organization has a legal surface area, as well as an administrative surface area that is attackable and can compromise the network itself.
Can you just store the first reference as a local variable and then compare each time you move to a new node?

Or to save the comparisons make the thing the first node points to have a stop flag of some sort.

I think it's a not-so-rude awakening to follow individuals rather than organizations. For example, Matt Levine could be the one you trust for finance, or Jason Schreier for news on video games.
