Yes, you can still optimize around Python that way. The big difference in end result vs C comes from how Python prioritized runtime flexibility, while C aimed for speed by ensuring the compiler knows more about the program execution beforehand (mainly the size of every variable).

The difference is most obvious looking at arrays of fixed-size integers, where a C int* far outperforms a Python list of ints no matter the implementation. Python list is actually a different thing because it has variable-sized integers and can take other objects too, so you can't optimize around that but could do so with a more specific fixed-size int array interface... which is what NumPy did.

1) The user you are trying so hard to catch in some contradiction seems to be arguing against the control large platforms have to effectively police speech into a box more narrow than the law, and (looking only at the provided snippets) does not seem to claim that the law can't or shouldn't provide some boundaries itself. Like, I don't know this user's opinion on whether truth in advertising laws are legitimate, only about whether it makes sense for Twitter / Facebook to be the ones who get to make the decision. In this case, they are asking why it isn't illegal, not why it isn't randomly being self-limited by the Internet-age speech carriers.

2) Even if the user quoted were "inconsistent" in that way--and because of #1 I don't think it is, but I want to note why I think your comment isn't as smart as you are hoping it is in more detail--one could easily take the comment to be born out of frustration at a world that decides lots of things should be forbidden but somehow not this one, whether coming from a place of sincerity or simply sarcasm: in a world where somehow there are a ton of things people can't say, why can they say this? A lot of times, I see people try to point out hypocrisy in online communication and in fact the two parties are just talking past each other, using the other's attempt to call out hypocrisy as a way to judge their position, ignoring that there are easier explanations.

At Trader Joe's the eggs have not budged on price, however the supply is limited. If you want eggs, you have to get there within an hour of opening, and you're limited to 2 dozen per person. They're likely paying the same amount wholesale and simply getting fewer eggs to sell for retail.
Accountability would be the CEOs of these companies stepping down after they've made enough mistakes (both hiring too much and then not reaching growth targets). As usual workers get screwed and management coasts on unaffected.

If the chickens are dying from avian flu, they can still be consumed as food assuming they live long enough to develop but you will miss out on the ongoing egg production of the laying hens.

Not the OP, but I eat a high fat keto diet (mostly meat/eggs/high-fat dairy, leafy veggies, and some high-fiber nuts like almonds), get regular bloodwork, and my cholesterol is fine. Per my latest labs: 3.9 chol/HDL ratio (<5.0 is "healthy"), triglycerides at 67 ml/dL range ("normal" is <150 ml/dG), and c-reactive protein levels at 0.2 mg/L (<1.0 is low CVD risk, 1.0-3.0 is medium risk, 3.0+ is high risk).
Anything that you cannot immediately tell what it is made from, basically. So a hamburger is HPV, piece of meat that you have cooked is not.

A cake is HPV because you need to know it is made of wheat, you cannot see it from it.

Alternatively, anything that goes through more than one stage of processing (so home-made marmelade is not HPV because it is just cooked fruit, but hamburger is).
"school shootings" is also misleading, because it includes negligent discharge of a police officer's gun into the wall on school property, gang/crime related shootings (even non-fatal) on the school parking lot after hours, and so on.

What we think of as "school shootings" - an active shooters targeting individuals in a school systematically - is still exceedingly rare and you know them all by name. 1-2 per year, if memory serves. Pretty bad, yea, but not nearly what it's made out to be. Pretty much chance of being struck by lightning.

If we can't publicly scrutinize people who have great sway in the industry, what does that say about us as a research community?

The fact that I argued why I found it bogus based on well established principles, and I get shitted on by people who by all means have provided nothing to this conversation and except suppressing criticism or throwing ad-hominems should tell all about the quality of discourse.

Dismissing criticism, not by arguments, but by the mere name of the person does a disservice to everyone.

The intimidation aspect is interesting here. I'm old enough to remember people being intimidated by the big scary computer on the desk. People being weirded out by VR and prophesying that it's just a fad very much so reminds me of the same responses to computers.
Again, you can also help your kids pay off the college loans, which will be much easier for you 25 years from now, than it is to save money up front.

Second thing is that you need to understand how cost of college works: basically, schools offer a lot of financial aid, but only to those who cannot afford it otherwise. This means that the more you save for your kids college, the higher the bill will be. The schools will ask your kids how much money they have saved, and will adjust the price to extract all of it. The system favors the people who don’t save, and people like you pay the cost. You are literally hamstringing yourself, thinking that it’s for benefit of your kids, but you’re actually benefiting people who don’t plan and live day by day.

Sure, because it is a manual memory managed language with RC being an escape hatch only. But there are plenty of problems/programs where you simply can’t know the lifetime of your objects, e.g. Chrome uses a proper GC for C++ as well.
Losing weight is not the only metric for optimal health.
this thread is full of clueless middle managers or middle managers who are managing more people than they can handle.

those too smart folks are actually dumb in how to navigate corporate and deal with middle managers.

clueless middle managers only understand feature delivery. they have zero understanding of maintainability, stability and security.

those engineers probably fixed tons of code smells that would completely halt business either by breaking or allowing malicious actors to take over.

but they are not smart on how to communicate that work. now the middle manager only see them when they start to work on small refactors which are actually their way to wind down all the extra work they already contributed and was not accounted by anyone.
Because we are talking about a server, so the marginal cost of operating is basically electricity. And no one is forcing other bank websites to operate 24/7, it just makes economic sense to provide it since it costs so little.

I would not patronize a business that had to regularly shut down their website, I would wonder what kind of weak IT department they have and why I would want to invest in that.

GraphQL supports schema stitching, so you can have one API endpoint request lots of different information from different services, and combine information seamlessly server-side. (e.g. Wordpress author -> user service -> posts on a different service)

Here's how we're using Wordpress and other GraphQL services at a smallish nonprofit: https://blog.codeday.org/how-graphql-helps-us-showcase-coded...

That page is powered by Wordpress over GraphQL, and you can try it yourself at https://graph.codeday.org/ (here's a sample query - query { blog { posts { nodes { title author { discordInformation { username discriminator }}}}}})
Except each service scales independently, can be updated independently (e.g. pri0 security bugs that require a breaking change can be applied to public IP facing services first), can be written in a different programming language, and can be rolled back/deployed independently.

Working in a microservice environment is nice, newly created services get the latest version of whatever tools are needed, older services can be upgraded as needed. Avoids the problem of being stuck on some ancient version of the JVM or Node.

Sometimes these requirements aren't as ridiculous as they sound.

Some websites are subject to legislation* that requires real people to be available to assist. So if they use local employees to provide assistance, the website ends up being shut down outside of business hours.

This isn't a US bank, but if you see a US government site do this for example, that's usually why.

(* an incidental "benefit" of legislation like this is regulatory capture. It doesn't matter if some code mill like Accenture is the worst technical choice, they already have experience providing warm bodies for the phone line. It raises the bar for getting contracts incredibly high since they're treated as a package deal)

Edit response because I'm being rate limited...

It's all rooted in Section 508: https://www.section508.gov/manage/laws-and-policies/

> Under Section 508, agencies must give disabled employees and members of the public access to information comparable to the access available to others.

Each state has their own extensions and guidance too: https://www.section508.gov/manage/laws-and-policies/state/

And in combination with those state amendments sometimes "access to information comparable to the access available to others" ends up being translated into needing someone to be accessible at all hours that the site is operated.

One thing to remember is that behemoths like Accenture and co also get to tip the scale. The law is vague enough that maybe in theory you could argue that you don't need a live human to meet the requirement... that won't stop incumbents for putting proposals that make it the defacto approach.
I assumed that that abstraction meant that you lost some of Vulkan's flexibility/features. Is this not the case?
That's not a particulary strong argument...

The amount of magnesium in the human body is .1% by weight. That's not too far different from the amount of rare-earths in an EV.

In the case of a human, i would not wish magnesium deficiency on them, it is not fun, can have severe long-term consequences (such as death), and generally is something that medical professionals will find concerning.

In the case of an EV I don't know what the consequences of removing rare-earths would be, but the fact that it's a tiny percentage of total mass doesn't imply that they can just be dismissed.
ps: this wasn't a joke, a lot of daily activities are 'chores' because of the context. You can almost always make it fun, more useful, more fulfilling. But society doesn't invest in that. Which leads to bore/burnout
That's about the price for a dozen eggs at all of the grocery stores around me right now.
I worked at Lattice a few years ago, back when it was under 100 people (probably doxxing myself, but whatever). They did a similar layoff right when covid hit. This definitely seems to be Jack's style, owning his decisions and not doing an HR hit-job. This post will work in his favor, no doubt. Glad to see Lattice prioritizing employees -- big fan of the 100k investment idea.

Seeing a lot of people shitting on the product in this comment forum. Plenty of their products are gimmicks, sure, but their real product is that they have a cult-following from the HR community, and they are better positioned to iterate and compete with more mainstream HR tools if they play their cards right. Lord knows they have way too many sales people (AKA "surplus elites"), and need to focus more on their product if they want to have something HR teams don't just want, but need, especially in this new macroeconomic condition. Hopefully the company can move on from this quickly. I don't think Jack is the kind of person who will fuck this opportunity up.
I've seen egg prices all over the place in my area. Ironically, the high end stores seem to have lower egg prices right now. I'm guessing the huge industrial type farms are getting hit hardest while the smaller farms, offering true free-range and other marketing gimmicks are largely business as usual.
Except it's not that simple.

0) Dying fast is clearly not an objective - if it was... Why ask people to eat unhealthy things instead of just killing them directly?

1) If you die at 17 - you never pay taxes. Dying fast != cost effective.

2) Unhealthy people that die at 17 can still have more healthcare costs than healthy people that live to 109. Age of death has little to do with healthcare costs.
Not a mistake. A calculated risk that didn't pan out.

The letter says that the takeaway at the executive level is a greater emphasis on building an all-weather business.

But frankly, investors often don't want an all-weather business. Lattice is a venture-backed startup. Having an all-weather business means being more risk-averse than you otherwise could be, which limits growth in the good times. Investors want a company that can quickly shed excess weight during a recession and then quickly grow again when conditions are favorable. That's how you get the high growth that attracts VCs.

Something tells me that most CEOs who commit to running an all-weather business during this period of contraction will conveniently forget about it when times are better.

In fact, they may use similar justification, that their hands are tied. During the downturn, it's "We had to lay these people off to make sure the larger organization can survive," and during a bull market, it's, "We had to grow rapidly to secure additional funding, which is necessary to make sure the larger organization can survive."
Creators can create public posts just like they can create private posts, followers-only posts, local-only posts. Instances may or may not display content to non-logged users. It's not up to the software, it's up to what the admins and the users want to do.

But if it's open, then you most probably even have access to an RSS feed of a user's public posts, so it can even be checked from outside the browser (and the specific app)

The crypto business seems to be a bit on a "Winter is coming, and it will last for years" -phase in EU.

An European Parliament vice-president and law-maker who was the most prominent lobbyist for more lax money-loundry regulation for cryptocurrencies is currently under detention - for money loundering and corruption.

what a load of crap, you mean linux kernel is a liability. this is typical thinking of folks who are removed from technical work & just consider development as 'cost'. Code & development history is an asset because it stores the time-series sum total of development decisions to get to this point. keeping it readable I can understand but pointlessly minimizing it without the bigger understanding of what it serves because ..

One key difference is that the Coinbase message said "accountability rests with me as the CEO". If you claim to take accountability, but there are no actual consequences, it's just the CEO grandstanding. Doesn't seem surprising that this specific bit would get called out.

This message did not make such obviously false claims of accountability. Is that enough of a difference to make up the entire difference in the entire tenor of the conversation? I don't know. But it is at least the reason for your specific example.
