(author of the essay here) I agree bodypainting can be garish (one of the reasons I no longer do it!), but the reason all those pieces were political is that every year the championships have a theme and that competition on that day the theme was literally 'propaganda'--so that was the theme the artists had to work with. Other years the theme is very different--I competed in years where the themes were rebirth, evolution, sources of power, transformation etc--idk I can't remember exactly, but they were generally set months in advance.
In my opinion, Discord has done a good job of withstanding the typical enshittification[1] of their platform. I've been using Discord for 7 years now, and while I have my complaints (poor archival functionality, video streaming can be hard to troubleshoot), it's my go-to recommendation for anyone wanting to build a friendly online community.

I am deeply worried about their future because their path to profitability has always been a bit of question mark. As of this point in time, I pay for nitro namely for the higher video streaming bandwidth, and to hopefully vote with my wallet so that the platform doesn't try to squeeze more revenue out of its users in ungracious ways.

Discord's Partner program[3] seems like a good first step to assuage my concerns , but at the end of the day it puts them more closely in competition with Twitch and YouTube, since all of these platforms are basically competing for broadcast time from a small handful of entertainers with huge amounts of loyal followers willing to subject themselves to ads.

At least you have the option to fight it and/or destroy it. Even if you plan to cooperate, it's never a bad idea to have more options on the table.

If the cops want to catch a thief that ran away on your street and ask for your camera footage, being in control of the video files means you could send them the outside footage and pretend you don't have have cameras inside. With a cloud provider, they will just send everything and not give a fuck.

To be specific in NY, local governments whether they are run by Democrats and Republicans are all concerned that much of their budget is mandated by Albany, particularly there was the decision to pay for Medicaid (health care for the poor) through local property taxes which are frequently inequitable as opposed to income taxes which are targeted at people who have large amounts of income. Thus if you rent, the cost of health insurance for the poor is baked into your rent.

There may be other things than money that make people happy!

But I agree with fairity that a lot of the appeal of this pop-science junk idea "$75k is all you need" was "haha, those rich people aren't actually any happier than me, in fact they're making dumb choices because more money is a dumb thing to pursue".

It's just not true. Much richer people are in fact very likely to be happier than you. Not 100% of the time, because money doesn't solve all human problems, but 10x more money solves a huge fraction of problems for basically everyone, and people who aren't rich are just fooling themselves a lot of the time.

I've seen different people mean different things by this, do you mean the IR is a list of bytecode handler addresses, and then the end of every handler is a load+indirect jump? Or is there also a dispatch table? In my experience the duplication of the dispatch sequence (i.e. no dispatch "loop") is worth 10-40% and then eliminating the dispatch table on top of that a bit more.

CPUs work hard to predict indirect branches these days, but the BTB is only so big. Getting rid of any indirect call or jump, regardless if that is through a dispatch table, is a big win, perhaps 2-3x, because CPUs have enormous reorder buffers now and can really load a ton of code if branch prediction is good, which it won't be for any large program with pervasive indirect jumps.

it was just a statement of what the researchers did, but with a sneer.

Are you talking about me? There was no sneer. Stop projecting nonsense onto me.

The very broad claim made in the title is not really supported by the limited research cited. The thing is, it wouldn't even be that hard to cite other studies that establish a pattern supporting the claim, like what another commenter here did. But neither the author of this article nor you did that.
I don't think likes are currently their major issue. Instagram at least created its own problem:

1. start with regular people posting regular stuff - it was great fun

2. the professional users are the most active and polished

3. regular people stop posting because their content isn't polished enough and they resent comparisons of their life to others'

4. regulars follow less (to preserve their sanity) and post less

5. to maintain growth, the platform pushes more and more suggestions (people you don't want to follow, ads you don't want to see, reel encouragement you don't want to do)

Final stage is a platform that has deterred you from participating and constantly assaults you with things that you don't want to see. I used to really enjoy using Twitter and Instagram. I haven't touched Twitter in a couple of months and I usually resent using Instagram (but it's key in my industry).

Amazing! We actually haven't tried it a lot on developer docs use-cases. How did it perform for you?
You still haven't explained what you want to do with the data, so suggesting any particular storage is pointless. I can't imagine why you'd want to binary search a set of tokens (or token strings for that matter), it seems kinda silly. A frequent application of search is binding identifiers to definitions by walking scope-chains, but that's something different than simply a list of tokens.

> This reply strongly reads of 'im smarter than eveyone'

Dude, where's everyone, where?

I'm smarter than the guy who posted this nonsense about asyncio, that's for sure, but that's a very low bar...

Now, when it comes to Python, then, it's an environment that is flooded with the programmers with the lowest skill level imaginable. This is where all those month-long bootcamps pump their graduates, this is where all the people who took a month-long intro to CS with Python class go, this is where a lot of people who only use Python accidentally, to compliment some other programming activity (or just general computer-related activity) go. It's a swamp, and there's no reason to pretend it isn't.

On the other hand, anyone who had any serious aspirations for Python left the scene ten or so years ago. Today, Python is the worst parts of Java and PHP combined. So, again, it's a very low bar to be better than most Python programmers. Without even trying, when I searched for a job and had to do a bunch of automated assessment tests, I was consistently placed in the "best" decile, often in the "best 5%" of all applicants, and I hate the language. I'm honestly not good at it and don't want to be good at it. You don't need to try hard to be "as good" as I am, because I'm not good... but, yeah, in this particular area everyone is hands down awful.

I also had to interview about two dozens of applicants in my last job. I had people who couldn't explain the difference between expression and statement. I had people who couldn't tell what __str__() method is for. I had extremely low expectations, and yet I was consistently disappointed by the knowledge level of applicants. It's surreal what's going on there.

> Overhead startup isn't worthless.

Yeah, maybe... OP never measured it anyways. OP never created any asynchronous I/O tasks. OP measured how long does it take to run couple functions in Python. Admittedly, it takes a long time, but it's irrelevant to async I/O. Especially in the context of comparing whatever OP's doing to threads. Which was their goal stated in the opening statement.

> you can be sure that they can’t bypass you and get the footage while your fighting it

They also wouldn't request data from cameras offsite. I mean, they could, but why would they (and would they even make the connection that these cameras are also owned by you?)
If they get a warrant like the story in this article you'll still have to hand it over.

The fact that it's not on a popular cloud camera provider may make it harder for them to discover what it is they need to request, but they can still do it and you could still be compelled to comply.

In that case I would kind of rather they go to a megacorp vs. me needing to get a lawyer and figure out how to respond.

But generally I agree that it's sketchy for a third party to hold the data.

This is what I was thinking. Is there maybe not a big enough market for non-techies who care about privacy and understand the implications?

It needs to be basically the same as a Ring with just one additional requirement, plugging another box into power and your network to act as the DVR/brains, with a QR code that you scan to link it. Sure that can have more customization options, but the default has to be zero config. Probably gonna need a cloud server for notifying and serving the mobile app without having keys to the video (users have to know the difference), which would cost money monthly.

Shift them to the right one bit :-)
Note that a string view only gives you the token text, not the token in general (like, most importantly, the token type, i.e. identifier, string literal, integer literal, keywords, etc). So the additional length information that's contained in the file doesn't help much, you'll have to lex again anyway, unless you're only interested in the text.

Apart from that -- a string view is typically understood as being implemented using a pointer to the string buffer, which is something else -- a pointer is 64 bits instead of 32 bit (on most systems, of course). And it requires the source file to be cached in memory at a stable location, can't be serialized and deserialized, etc. etc.

In short, it's the typical fashionable modern C++ approach that is also wrong.
I miss the good old days when people would just burn down the server room. Would have saved a lot of people a lot of time.

Geothermal startup company's wells can be used like a battery
Other people asked a bunch of q's so I tried to present it a little differently

Key concepts that were net-new from the article:
* 10 year concept IRS restriction
* Concept of a transfer Block essentially requiring a company sponsored secondary
* Idea that Stripe could stay out of it, and just allow (partially) transfer waiver to 3rd party investor
* The concept of most startups strong preference against creating liquid wealth events for early employees prior to IPO

Perhaps you knew all of this, but the other commenters didn't seem to have this knowledge top of mind.
They're the wrong sort of people.
I'm saying literally anything you want to do with them is faster due to cache locality if they're closer together than farther apart as with the file offset proposal.
For the police to subpoena the footage they at least have to know you have cameras. They'll have much tougher time figuring out you have indoors cameras and requesting data from them.

With Ring it seems to be more like selecting a box on the map and click "request".
Unless the status page show response times and is automatically updated when stuff stops working, assume that the status page is used as a marketing page.

here are the reasons I hate apple more than facebook:
1. they force developers to buy mac os x to work on their platform
2. their app store monopoly is extremely hostile towards developers and thus democracy
3. they force me to enter my financial information when I sign up with them
4. they won't allow me to use their products without an apple account which means I need yet another password to sign in
5. they won't even allow me to download apps without signing into my apple account.
6. the whole apple ecosystem kinda locks you in.
7. planned obsolescence, which I really hate.

On the other hand for facebook. I can just ignore it completely for months on end and easily block all my notifications or emails from it. or block them one by one if I choose. if i dont like the feed, then I just don't spend time on it. nothing about facebook isn't easily circumvented whereas apple has a death grip on you, as long as you need to use it's products.
And the bad boys and girls can still hack CRA and if they defraud you using the data they stole is CRA still liable in spite of your paper-based filing?

“In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.”

I'm a normal enough person and so I can get good at most things. But, it'll take a few tries to get good at it. Riding a bike, swimming, SATs, etc. The first time I rode a bike was a disaster. I hurt myself and fell off. But I got back on and built up my bike balancing skills and, well, now I can ride a bike without falling off.

Soft skills, like managing people, are just like that. Another skillset to build, with practice, just like in an RPG. But one thing that I've never had to do before is find a successor to own my business. It's just not a muscle I've ever used. Nor, I bet, have many other people. So when Mark Fletcher, who seems like he's held this since before the Yahoo times, decides he's had enough and wants to retire, is he going to have a well practiced "find a successor" muscle? or is he going to fall off the bike, disastrously? Because the other thing about riding a bike is that you can read all the books, listen to all the podcasts about it, but that all pales in comparison to actually riding a bike and practicing.

You know who does have experience with replacing people like they're cogs in a machine though and nominating successor? Giant machines aka Google in this context.

So to each their own. I'm going to bet on dogfood keeping the dog alive until the owner decides it doesn't love the dog called Google Groups any more. I'm still very sad about Google Reader being put out to pasture and more recently Stadia, but lovable the German Shepard of a dog that is Search won't stop getting love from it's owner Alphabet and neither will Keep.

Preventing alert flapping is hardly "very highly polished", it's the base level for having even internal monitoring. And if it works for you internally, you could definitely make some automatic information available.

It's not rocket science we're talking about. Having a status page that can automatically say "Everything OK" or "Something seems to be not OK" would even be enough, but most companies don't offer something like that.

Sure. Sometimes it’s wrong. But I spend less time finding an answer on ChatGPT than Google. For example I’m not a c++ developer but I’ve inherited some c++ code work to do. So I’m like wow this vector thing is only ever looking for this 1 value. It would be better to use a dictionary or hash map or something. So I ask ChatGPT and it recommended unordered_map, and I asked why the existing code snippet I gave it had a lock around it, and it explained the thread safety with read/write etc. So fixing that all up shaved off 700ms in processing time in my test scenario.

I can ask it what’s the difference between 2 lists. I asked it about concurrent_unordered_set and it told me that it only exists in VisualC++ but if I want it cross platform I can look at Boost or TBB.

None of this information is easy as a non C++ developer to find on Google.
