The basic stuff helps a decent amount. Assume your name, phone, email, address are all public. Don't reuse passwords, ever (use a password manager), use 2fa wherever possible, ideally not the SMS kind. Use a password manager that has a tie-in with haveibeenpwned or whatever so you know asap to change your creds.

Some extras: use unique email addresses per site if you can. Some setups allow infinite aliases. Then you can blackhole one that gets leaked, and you can know where it got leaked from.

If you can, have a separate setup (completely separate email account(s), not just aliases, and even separate hardware to access them if you can) for very important accounts, the ones that would ~ruin your life for a good bit if they got taken over (bank, retirement, etc.)

There's also credit monitoring type stuff, which I've never been clear how useful it is, but might be worthwhile. You also may get it free if some company you use has a leak and they try to PR it away that way.

I think there's some way to basically lock your credit against new accounts, I need to look into that someday, don't know the details or if it even exists.
Is there a good way to decide when to do a meeting and when to write an email?
I don't think you have recourse OP.

When I did an on site interview, I had a Google interviewer get two inches from my face and scream, then the rest of them smirk as I was on edge the rest of the day.

It's my understanding that's not ok, especially if someone is on the autistic spectrum, but they seemed focused on a few questions about statistics I didn't give the corredt answer on.

I'd try to look into other places to interview, rather than chase this lead.

(I interviewed in Mountain View, not Dublin, and to be fair, this was around the Summer of Snowden -- in parallel, someone who'd flamed me on OkCupid declined to interview me at Facebook, Mozilla didn't hire me on, and Micro$soft is Micro$oft, so my next move ended up being an NGO.)

They are going to do what they want to do, I would just wait for them to decide your future rather than waste emotional energy trying to change the inevitable.
I may be a little off topic, but I wanted to provide a special sample. In China, Weibo is fully real identity verified, but there is only more thorough manipulation of speech on there. Real people afraid to voice would make bots more effective, not less.

Generally shady FTX shit aside, couldn't they have waited <24 hours to see if they would respond within business-hours? Where did journalistic integrity go?
You make a general point about government regulation, and the answer is that choices made by individual consumers can affect other people too. Should people be given the choice of using leaded gas?

Then we can discuss if the GDPR protects important rights or not , but that's a different discussion.

Yeah, right. Plenty of companies will fail if they are forced to use some of the almost perfectly equal alternatives.
Cool, you haven't addressed any of the substance of my comment, and made a disparaging remark towards the group of people who think differently from you about blockchains.
The C# standard library will not run many case-insensitive comparisons. That comparison object doesn’t just compare two objects for equality, it also has another interface method which computes a hash of a single object.

Here’s implementation of the hash function used by that StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase: https://source.dot.net/#System.Private.CoreLib/src/libraries... As you see, it has a fast path for ASCII-only input strings.
CGI didn't crowdsource 3D models from other artists to dynamically build scenes with no technical effort and offer it to the masses for free. Doesn't seem comparable.
Most scrolling implementations are bug prone, and their UX is infamously difficult to get right. Rendering a static asset at a time is an ancient pattern that tends to just work.

> Single core clock speed hasn't changed in over 10 years now?

Technically we have gone from 3.3gz- 3.9gz base frequency, 4.1-4.2 single core boosts, 4.7ghz heavy OC in Haswell to

4.3 and 3.0 base clock for efficiency/perf cores, with boosts to 5.4 ish, stable 5.8ghz all core frequency with heavy OC, and even pushing 6.something GHz single core with a good setup.

But then again, this is on the more extreme ends. Mainstream laptops have remained relatively stable.

re Python MP:

On my 12700k, I saw almost linear scaling (per core, not thread) with multiprocessing when loading stuff from the disk for ML applications and processing. This was with the datasets library.
Also recently I was looking into a Ring doorbell alternative

I'm fully aware that I'm stretching the argument and analogies. However, I find all of these expressions ("Capturing the moment", "has a different aim") vague and full of gaps. Maybe it's because I never fully got photography, in a way. The difference between "capturing the moment" and "writing prompt" is that the former has a more romantic feel to it, but let's not forget that some of the most well-known photographies were staged to look spontaneous. And suddenly photography is just an exercise of story-telling and technique (light, exposure, etc), which is not that different from "harnessing the algorithm" to do the same.

Also, we're comparing an art 150 years in the making (with its schools, philosophies, heroes) with one in its infancy.
I question the methodology.

To measure this I would have N processes reading the file from disk with the max number of parallel heads (typically 16 I think). These would go straight into memory. It's possible you could do this with one process and the kernel will split up the block read into 16 parallel reads as well, needs investigation.

Then I would use the rest of the compute for number crunching as fast as possible using as many available cores as possible: for this problem, I think that would basically boil down to a map reduce. Possibly a lock-free concurrent hashmap could be competitive.

Now, run these in parallel and measure the real time from start to finish of both. Also gets the total CPU time spent for reference.

I'm pretty sure the author's results are polluted: while they are processing data the kernel is caching the next block. Also, it's not really fair to compare single threaded disk IO to a single process: one of the reasons for IO being a bottleneck is that it has concurrency constraints. Never the less I would be interested in both the single threaded and concurrent results.
It's more "why should a government expect any foreign company to follow the law".

Personally I run a small business, GDPR came out, our solution is to just violate it and not care. They have no legal jurisdiction over us so their laws do not matter.

If we had to comply with every jurisdictions special laws on the entire planet we'd surely waste most of our time doing it.
Maybe they’re good precisely because of this mindset?
Frankly I think classic c-style for loops are a terrible abstraction for beginners. Iterator based loops make sense on a high level ("I don't care how it works, I only care what it does"). And while loops make sense on a low level ("I can see how each piece works"). To a beginner, c-style for loops are just an obscure, implicit syntax for while loops.

> Even strings blur the line between individual characters and actual strings

IMO that's better than what C++ does, where it pretends that a character is a single byte. Whereas most code nowadays is using unicode, which means that code will break as soon as they try to store a non-ascii character in it.
>We started a revolution in this country over tax on tea.

That is not the full story. "American colonists objected to being taxed by the Parliament of Great Britain, a body in which they had no direct representation. "[0][emphasis added] It was taxation without representation that was the issue.

Today in America, we have a similar issue for example with the citizens of California, who are woefully underpresented in Congress and the electoral college (because they only get the same two Senators as Wyoming despite having something like 60 times the population).

first of all, saying "no Western" is not the same as "every single Eastern". that's a pretty heavy logical error you seem to be unable to steer around

second, no one needs "a link" to prove that it was unacceptable to promote capitalistic interests in the USSR or the old CCP. I'm sure I could find one, but I'm not going to do your research for you, especially considering your horrendous attitude towards discussion. if you want to find out how you're wrong, you can go and do so yourself. it's not my job to educate you

>it happens!

somehow I'm not surprised by this

this whole "I don't mind being wrong" business doesn't make it acceptable for you to get all accusatory when it is pointed out that you are in fact wrong, and in fact it contradicts the sentiment in the first place. if you didn't mind being wrong, would you have jumped to calling me a troll? I doubt that. question yourself a bit more

You should write a book about this, and include some sample calculations in the appendix
Let’s call spades spades: C spanks Go in every measure. Go is nowhere near C speed.

I wouldn't say that. In practice, everyone tests Mastodon first since it is the most popular implementation.

The reasoning is that your personal data doesn't belong to you. It belongs to your government. A user's personal data is a vector for attack for a foreign agent. You can argue up to which degree this is correct or not, but the EU instance on this matter is of paranoia.
It's typical now, for better or worse. They have a story and want to publish, now. But have to ask for comment. So they ask for comment, count to 5 and publish with that disclaimer.

I don't think it's hyperbole at all. Wage theft alone costs American workers billions of dollars every year.
Hmm the format is nice but the author doesn't seem to have a good understanding of the underlying theory.

For instance, question 8 describes a function that does not halt, it asks you to answer whether it halts or not (the answer is no) then it tells you it does halt (wtf) if you implement it on Javascript (wtfx2).

This theory has to be approached from an abstract point of view, that kind of argument is conceptually equivalent to "it does halt because I will destroy the computer with a hammer, lol". From there it just becomes more and more deranged with each question.
This is a pipe dream not based in reality.

Open source isn't all upside with no down and that is why co.mercial software still dominates and will unless someone decides to take the hit and carry the load for those downsides.

Besides, in terms of MS365 there is the added problem that there is no good alternative. There are some reasonable alternatives for individual instances but not for the delivers of using 365.

What an idiotic way to describe an entire profession.

Surely mathematicians only use abstraction to feel superior to others. It can not be that abstraction is the most useful tool in all of mathematics, because it allows one idea to be used in a wide varity of areas.

>Best example: how do you compute the moment of inertia (or the kinetic emergy, it does not matter) of a rotating object? That is the reason for integration in several variables. Not exactly measure theory or Fubini’s Theorem.
And measure theory only exists because arrogant mathematicians couldn't take it that physicists were calculating moments of inertia. There simply is no other use for it! Stupid insecure mathematicians.

It's okay to have concerns, but you should make more of an effort to base those on what actually happens rather than on disinformation being spread by anti-trans organisations.

Am I mistaken, or did MS have that with Deutsche Telekom running a special Azure zone on their behalf? The idea was that MS wouldn't be able to comply with US court orders because they weren't in control of that zone, and DT's German subsidiary running that operation wouldn't be in US jurisdiction.

As far as I know, they shut it down two years ago citing higher costs and operational issues.

I remember one particular turning point for me, I think about in 9th grade, where I asked my math teacher to go into more detail about how the quadratic equation was discovered and what the purpose for each part was. She seemed to have no idea why anyone would want (let alone need) to know that and doubled down on the advice to "just memorize it".

I went a bit further in math afterward so I could at least grasp at the essentials of calculus, but that one moment took a lot of the wind out of my sails.

If I/O was the bottleneck, parallelizing it won't help, your SSD/network link/database won't get magically faster.

If I/O wasn't the bottleneck, I guess you can parallelize reading, but what are you gaining?

If you're writing to files, most of the time the parallism will be hard to implement correctly. SQLite doesn't support parallel writes for example.
Editing a few days after writing does wonders to improve the quality of the writing, especially allowing you to find those parts, expressions, words that you do not hear as your own voice.
Reading and rereading immediately after writing is certainly helpful, but it presents a "fluency" problem. That is, due to the fatigue of rereading what is still fresh in our minds and in our hands and the increasing familiarity with the text, we bypass some parts of the text while reading.

It's kind of like having a weird uncle in the family: after we see this guy running around the living room naked for some years, we think it's ordinary, fine, ok: "oh, it's just Uncle Bob", we tell ourselves.

Then we go to college, come home for vacation after meeting new people, lost the "familiarity" of family life, and when we finally see Uncle Bob running around the living room naked, our reaction is not one of jovial acceptance like before, but one of horror.

> Some candidates say that sorting is going to be the bottleneck, because it’s O(N log N) rather than the input processing, which is O(N). However, it’s easy to forget we’re dealing with two different N’s: the total number of words in the file, and the number of unique words.

I don't see how that changes anything. There's a reason we use Big O rather than other notations. Their answer would still be correct.
Agreed.

I occasionally teach a strength of materials class, for mechanical engineering students, as a contract lecturer (my main job is research).

I love starting the fatigue part of the class with some historical context such as the Versailles/Meudon train accident (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versailles_rail_accident). I think it really helps to motivate the content and how the "laws", which can be sort of dry and boring out of context, came to be discovered by scientists and engineers who wanted to prevent these kinds of accidents from happening again.

Teaching abstraction is the most efficient way of learning, since your skills are widely applicable.
Spinning rust is still by far the cheapest way to store bulk data, and it is fast enough for infrequent access. It's perfectly fine for archival purposes. Large disks are $0.02 / GB while large SSDs are closer to $0.07 / GB.

On the other hand, ignoring my media collection, both my personal computer and server only need a few hundred GB of storage. SSDs are cheap enough that they are a no-brainer: they are physically a lot smaller, quieter, and more resilient. The orders-of-magnitude better IO speed doesn't hurt either, even if most of it is wasted on me.

1TB NVMe drives are now less than $75. I could get a 1TB HDD for $40 or a 3TB one for $75, but why bother?
