Out of curiosity, How do you benchmark your algorithms.

> e.g, This is another parallel multithreaded actor model. Run Actor2.java to run it. I get around 1.1 billion requests per second with this model.
Realistically you don't unless you really really need it. If you really need it you drop to unsafe and build a "safe" interface in-front of it.

Rust makes writing very high performance multi-threaded code incredibly hard because most of the tricks to get that last bit of performance out are basically asking to generated races and are near impossible to express in a way that is provably safe. You basically thinking of your data-layout from day one if you need that kind of performance your just going to have to deal with a bunch of unsafe in your codebase.
Hey man! Thanks for the comments. You're right - adding a feedback button is probably the way to go. Would you be up for having a quick 15/20 min call to share your thoughts? I'm @naveedjanmo on Twitter if you prefer to talk there :)
Not always, if rebars are pre-tensioned before concrete solidifies. So the rebar is always under tension. Pretty common in prefab parts, like bridge bars.
Well, there's insufficient data to extrapolate numbers, isn't there? We have the owner of a repair shop reporting that he sees this issue frequently. It has to be common enough for him to see it, but nobody whose PlayStation works fine is coming to the repair shop.
Depends: if your application has strong scaling then just throw more power whichever way at it.
Tightly coupled hpc systems aim to improve execution speed (or application resolution) to weak scaling applications.

You can always work after college. Going to college after entering the workforce becomes much harder (and you lose out on the social aspects if you're too old, or if you have to split time between work and school).
The author said he liked Rust and will switch to Rust if/when it builds faster than C++. So for the author at least, his answer is Rust!
Simple cases (query a single view/table fully, or get one item, mutate and save): ORM (EF core)

Guilty as charged, closed 2022 w/ 6k+ on 2 [onetab]s. Jon Blow said "often if you just keep observing the pattern, it will naturally give you the ability to break out of it" so let's find out. Good case study though.
Digital terrarium isn't far off, a lot of the fun of the game is just seeing what crazy stuff it can throw at you (and, what you can throw back)
I assume you refer to the US, and it might be true in that case. In 1945, after WWII lots of places were completely destroyed.
In Ruby, the function call operator, `.()`, can be used on both Method and Proc objects. This being different from the syntax used for method invocation does not have anything whatsoever to do with whether functions are first class. You are both wrong and being unreasonably rude about it.
I'm not familiar with that part of history, but I think you're mistaking and vastly overblowing the role of "yellow" journalism in that case.

Scandal and satire have been a part of MSM for a long time, but it was very clear where the line is drawn that separates it from objective journalism. While corporate and political influence existed to an extent, objectivity was seen as sacred.

If you don't see a difference between news reporting from 40 or 50 years ago and today, I don't know what to tell you.
This is what I was wondering as well. I suppose it cuts down on rest time between sets, because you can rest one arm while lifting with another.
Why are wine developers and similar required to do clean room implementations to not be sued then?

Simply reading the leaked source code of Windows makes you not eligible to contribute to wine.

Why is Windows source code so much more important than mine?

The other thing is that copilot is not a human, so it doesn't matter anyways.

Humans are a special exception with laws, because they are intended to protect and benefit humans while also being fair. I don't think you can just substitute something in and assume that the same rules apply.
Thanks for this, Neal! I hope you're not feeding it into a SkyNet targeting system!
i have no idea since i'm just a rando googling things, but there seems to be a ton more data available for men, and it's probably because in the 30's and before that, women were stereotyped much more than today and it's hard to do apples-to-apples. But feel free to pull up more data and contribute to the conversation!

Where you live also determine access to jobs, educations, and other opportunities.
Cities are more valuable for this reason.

It is also determined by housing supply in a given location and transportation policies, how we decided that homes are investments which increases exclusionary NIMBY behaviors.

It is not merely 'desire to have more' than the other that determine the cost of living.
That monotonic support in the ULID spec is described as an option. The default in most implementations I've seen is pure random ULIDs and monotonic has to be opt-in.

(Though yes, anyone opting into that behavior should beware that it reduces the entropy strength of generated IDs.)
I’ve never voted. Check mate.
In and of itself I don't think there's anything wrong with trying to reduce urban use just because it's not the chief contributor. It is not as though an outdoor water fountain on your patio or a lush green lawn in front of your house are equally valuable as agriculture.
My hope at this point is for some AI to analyze my 75.000+ links and tell me what I may have forgotten which I should really be aware of, and give me a summary of it. Possibly even let me know if new discussions on certain technologies have been trending currently on topics which I Ve dealt with.

I didn't buy it because /pol/ told me things about developers.
The nice thing about credits compared to authors is that credits generally have a title/role/position associated with the name. (A grip does a very different job than a costume designer, but with a paper they're all just authors which has a different meaning than say "research director")
Ah. That makes sense. Thank you for the thoughtful point.
I disagree. I bought an air fryer for my mom about five years ago, had an older breville toaster oven without the air fry capability I used for the better part of a decade, and moved to a new breville toaster oven with air fry capability about a year ago. The basket-design air fryers are a pain to store, don't have much space for food (we had to do fries in annoyingly small batches), and felt very one-note.

By comparison, the new breville I have does everything the old one did plus air frying, and the difference is distinct - I tried making fries in the convection baking mode on the old one and the result was noticeably worse than what I get from the new one in air fry mode. Noise and heat output approaches annoying levels with either air fryer, so I'm pretty confident the experience I get is close or the same as the purpose-build one. And the ability to space things out more gives better results, at least for my purposes. (I'll note that 95% of my air fryer use is for fries.)
Challenge accepted. I am on a Lenovo IdeaPad - Fedora.

I'll also recommend getting a bluetooth OBD2 scanner. There are a bunch of them available in the $12 to $20 range.

It seems absurd to go to mechanic to know what the "Check engine" problem is.
As the cousin comment stated, we use sources. Even with this condition/restarts/debugger: fix the error in the source and recompile it, not in the REPL.

And we have the right to restart the image. For example, I run the tests from the terminal, hence from scratch, from time to time, typically before pushing my commits. I have a CI that tests and builds the program. I deploy a static build. We don't use images coming from development here. However, I can connect to a running image in prod and tweak settings if I want, or just look around[]. I could very easily change the code, but I'll do that in my sources and do a clean deploy. Or not. I too heard about people who mold a running image for years, their sources totally out of sync O_o

[]: there's a trading startup that posts screenshots of their Sly REPL from prod, that's where they ask their system for data. They didn't have to setup another complex layer just to see data from prod.
first you need to define “useless” which is probably the difficult task

Silicon, hm? Semiconductor production itself is quite water-hungry. Consider: https://www.theverge.com/22628925/water-semiconductor-shorta...

> A factory or “fab” for making semiconductors needs a lot of water to operate. It’ll guzzle between 2 to 4 million gallons of water a day by some estimates, using the water to cool down equipment and clean silicon wafers. That’s about as much water as 13,698 to 27,397 Arizona residents might use in a day. Fabs are also pretty picky when it comes to water quality, they need to use “ultra-pure” water to prevent any impurities from damaging the chips.
Yeah on a more serious note, I would question the engineering chops of anyone who told me with a straight face that they could cut a 'fair' 1/3 off of an apple, twice in a single stroke. And by 'question' I mean 'not going to hire your arrogant ass'.

'Fair' would include not penalizing the people who got the core, which varies by the apple and also apples are a weird spheroid/conical section. You're not going to cut a third of the flesh off of a single apple without days of practice, and a first-name relationship with the farmer. Let alone two.

Such a huge part of my day job is about hedging against human error that I have a klaxon that goes off in my head whenever someone claims anything is 'easy'. Lots of things are easy to do once or twice. Do it 300 times in a row, spaced at one or sometimes two week intervals, with people dropping random questions on you while you're in the middle of doing it, without fucking it up once. Go on. I'll wait. With popcorn.

It would be the same burden. You're still using the same dumbbell, you're just working one arm at a time instead of two.
It is well known that the eccentric contraction is the greater driver of hypertrophy, but I really don't think this means you should get rid of the concentric.
Thank you!

I've thought about it. Honestly the most likely thing is that I'll make a standalone site for media reviews and consolidate everything. That's what I did for this (https://github.com/xavdid/kerfuffle; currently offline) and I was very pleased with the result. ".review" is a TLD, so I spin it up under something there. :)
One extra layer I put on my externally facing sites is a simple auth prompt (after redirect to https!) as an unlikely-to-have-a-compromise gate before any logon for a self-hosted service. You can make it a fairly easy to remember username/password for anyone you want to share your self-hosted apps with, since its a mostly irrelevant extra step just to guard against exploits in more complicated software stacks

Doesn't an iPod fulfill those requirements? Unless you want the mixtape to be more customized or the cool factor of tapes, which I understand.
I dont think modern culture is any more extractive than those that preceded it, we just have greater technology and capability. I think people have a bit a of a noble savage ideation for earlier times.

I agree that we have no idea what things will be like 1000 years from now. Verry little damage is irreversible on those timescales
> If I made the C++ code use a custom vector and the Rust code use the standard vector, then people would complain that the Rust code was artificially shorter.

People would also complain that even though you claim “my C++ code is longer than Rust but compiles just as fast”, you’re not factoring the extra things Rust’s versions do

Likely depends on the language. With Go I like using https://sqlc.dev/ - it generates Go-code from a SQL script. You get the benefits of static typing for parameters and return types + it removes much of the boilerplate involved in using plain SQL. And you still get the full expressiveness of SQL. I think this is a middle ground between SQL and ORM.
And in the meantime, ULID isn't even that far along, and is there even more likely to change.
We had it for almost 3 years and have been using generics since we bought it. The label on it says 120V 60Hz, but I am positive that they sell it in Europe, see https://www.amazon.sg/Sp%C3%A4rkel-Beverage-System-Metallic-...

Beyond the obvious uses, a high chair was a great purchase because our daughter would start crying every time we tried to set her down to eat dinner, so only one of us could eat at a time, but once we got the high chair and she could be sitting at eye level with us, she was content to sit and let us eat.
Its because of the schools. Since we in the US tied school funding to property taxes, getting your kid a good education if you arent truly wealthy enough to pay for private schools (now 30kish per kid per year) means living near other better off people , or sacrificing your kids future and perhaps their safey.
If you were asked to provide guidance for companies who wished to avoid using nicespeak, what recommendations would you provide? And do you have advice for situations where a company might want to emphasise/de-emphasise aspects of the truth to market itself?
Be careful about trying to recreate campus experience with YouTube videos at home. If a lecture is basic and you could indeed replace it with a quick video, look for better, more challenging or unique lectures/degrees/curricula. The whole adage of if you’re the smartest guy in the room, you’re in the wrong wrong room.

You’ll quickly reach a point where YouTube and Google won’t easily do, and only genuine and deep work will. That’s when rewarding, lasting impressions will happen (which superficial topics like HTML or the latest JS framework aren’t!). It shouldn’t be like just another frontend boot camp, just longer. Challenge yourself and reap the benefits forever.
That and campus life in general of course…

Chess engines support the concept of skill level. Pretty much any chess program or app supports this out of the box, such as the aforementioned chess.com. The only times they are run unhindered are for analysis, engine testing, or fun.
Currently listening to Peter Zeehan's The End of the World is Just the Beginning and this seems to jive with his viewpoint as well. That is - the geographic location of a country, plus rivers, plus ocean ports, is the core characteristic of those empires that succeeded or failed. He talks about a "cruchy exterior, creamy middle" IE: borders that are protected in some way, for example by an ocean, with an interior of vast farmland easily passable by roads and rail.

It sounds like a monitor arm also would’ve solved those issues, though I suppose that would be more expensive.
What do you mean by "glue them together"?

If you overlap a hundred different FFTs, then the result is likely fine copyright-wise.

These networks are not [supposed to] contain much of the original data. Like the trivia point that Stable Diffusion has less than two bytes per source image, on average.
> In theory a 192kHz digital signal, with a DAC that understands it, may create distortions that add in a subjective pleasant way within the hearable spectrum, whereas a 44.1kHz signal may, in DAC, cables, or headphones, create a different set of distortions.

The rebellion would have to distribute its resources amongst an army large enough to hold a planet. At that scale, teams of dozens of people would be sufficiently motivated to kill whoever, if their reward is still some fraction of that.
Some ground water is almost identical to mineral rights, particularly aquafers which are not replenished. There is water that has been there for a hundred thousand years, and can be either used up, left in place, or somewhere in-between.

If you buy/own rights to such water, it is not dissimilar to an oil field or mineral mine.
+1 on this. Left school at 16 to do an apprenticeship, then went straight into industry. As a result, my social life is like a withered plant. Don't waste time and money on education you don't need, but also don't grow up too fast. You only get one life and one chance to be carefree.

I used to have a lot of complicated setups that used static IPs, DSL connections with an ISP that supported MLPPP which I used Tomato firmware with VPN and QoS configs.

Now networking is pretty good using stock ISP provided modem/router and I added Netgear mesh base station and 2 satellites. The satellites have an Ethernet port which I use for the gaming PC-that's all that I need. Considered a PiHole but uBlock origin is good enough.
That is what it does mean. Unfortunately creators of a term do not get to control its usage I suspect the number of Roy Fielding approved implementations would likely be very small. Furthermore, I don’t think it matters - there is no sin in RPC.

It looks like ChatGPT already knew that (or I skimmed too quickly):

Why was Roman concrete so durable?

Roman concrete, also known as opus caementicium, was a highly durable construction material used by the ancient Romans for a variety of structures, including aqueducts, bridges, and buildings. There are several factors that contributed to the durability of Roman concrete:

The use of lime and pozzolanic materials: Roman concrete was made from a mixture of lime, water, and an aggregate such as sand or crushed stone. The lime was derived from the heating of limestone, which produced a highly reactive form of calcium oxide. The Romans also added a pozzolanic material, such as volcanic ash, to the mixture, which improved the durability and strength of the concrete by reacting with the lime to form a cementitious material.

The inclusion of a reinforcement material: Roman concrete was often reinforced with a material such as iron or lead, which helped to increase its structural strength and resist cracking.

The use of a hydraulic setting process: Roman concrete was able to harden underwater due to its hydraulic setting properties, which allowed it to set and cure even in the presence of water.

The construction of thick, monolithic structures: Roman concrete was often used to build thick, monolithic structures such as walls and foundations, which were able to withstand the forces of nature and resist deterioration over time.

Overall, the combination of these factors made Roman concrete a highly durable construction material that has stood the test of time.

It seems so ludicrous that I want to ask if you’re sure you don’t have them, based on my experience of never having lived in an expensive home or actually buying appliances.

But then again, I’m sure you are right. Perhaps this is an easy tell - check to see if the oven has convection features. If so, the house was built for living, if not it was intended for flipping.
