I (author) agree that certainly at the higher end of element counts, it would be a very strange decision to not use an index. One of my favorite related papers is RadixSpline by Kipf, which shows an index based approach.

However, the inner loop of indexes usually is some other kind of search algorithm. Graefe mentions in BTree techniques that interpolation search is sometimes applicable to inner nodes in btrees. One of the SIP evaluations was using SIP as part of the inner loop in LevelDB, which doesn't displace the use of an LSM for managing the larger data set.

If you don't need a lot of range queries, eytzinger, or cache-line optimized btrees do get a lot more interesting, but the iteration logic gets a lot worse. SIP returns an element if it's present and a sentinel if absent, which is an odd choice since the index is usually what's needed. No clue, but hopefully you'll have some sympathy for revisiting your old code and wondering who wrote it. :)

I do think that optimizing search algorithms is still worthwhile in an indexed setting for two reasons:
1. The size of a node within an index like a btree depends on the efficiency with which that node can be searched, so if you are able to decrease the cost of searching a given node in the index, that might motivate larger node sizes. I know that a common heuristic is to use a multiple of a page size, but that is based on the assumption that the whole node will be used as part of the search.
2. Pushing algorithmic decisions to just in time can be more costly than the time saved from choosing a better algorithm. You lose icache efficiency, stall on the decision, etc. I think it's still good to steel man, as best you can, that your index is actually buying you improved performance for additional complexity or update overhead.
I don't have any experience with this, but maybe they found a store or something that they could use to get a refund to a specific card and they used your stolen debit card info to get the refund and then proceed to spend it all hopefully before the card holder notices.
Hey, the only thing you don't have to do is lie. If that's so hard, best of luck your in life, you'll need it.
Personally I think a non-unique name is best for security concerns, all things considered. You don’t want one ex-boyfriend or whatever to be able to find every last trace of your online existence, trivially, for the rest of your life, just by knowing your name. It is better that it’s going to be mixed in with tons of chaff from all the other Greg Jacksons or Catherine Williams (or whatever the applicable culture’s normal names are).
I stopped reading when the author categorized "prisoners of war being told to read confessions over Chinese propaganda radio" as "testifying publicly", almost at the start of the piece:

> It was the propaganda version of an incendiary bomb. In 1952 U.S. Air Force and Marine flyers, shot down during the Korean War, testified publicly that they had been ordered to drop biological weapons (BW) on China and North Korea.

The two sentences feel intentionally written to obfuscate the fact that the statements were made under duress as POWs; it strongly implies that they testified, after the war, about dropping biological weapons.

Even if much of what he does discuss did happen (the US secretly pardoning Japanese units that did absolutely horrific experiments on people for chemical and biological warfare, for example, and of course we used a lot of horrific shit in Korea and Vietnam), there's so much that is unsourced / uncited mixed in.

Half the links in the text are to his own writing, another chunk are to other Medium blogs, with a sprinkling of newspaper clippings (because the newspapers were so trustworthy back during that time)...pass.

I guess telnet is going to make us oldies feel old. They don't teach it these days :)
There's a jpl service kicking around that's on telnet and is fun to play with. Nothing requiring a password - it's published material, essentially a website, but in command line form. Presumably the anon account permissions would take some care to set up, but once that's done it's a good interface, I think.

"File transfer" -- too generic?
Eh, if you seriously believe this you can ask it the same question but change "vaccine" to something else and see if that changes the math.
In vscode the Genie extension does these things and you can provide your own contextual hooks with custom prompts. It’s particularly good at explaining syntax and semantic errors.
Russia. Left. With Putin. And Aleksander Dugin.

Please, don't use drugs.
I see people usually use the term "premature optimisation" to mean "I wouldn't think about this thing, so no one should". Also people really take that one quote and consider it gospel, forgetting that "premature" is contextual and subjective.

Meanwhile I think it's a bit silly that they didn't have a plan B for 425 TiB (!) of data and are scrambling to figure it out now. It's not about "fixing problems that don't exist", it's called "planning ahead for a scenario that is practically guaranteed to happen" and has high risk for the future of the project if they don't have such a plan.

They created essentially a SPOF where "failure" was losing the financial goodwill with some company.
A friend told me that 2.5” drives might be more common nowadays. With the same density they would still hold 400 TB worth of data!
"It doesn't make sense for every single distro to maintain customized versions of user level applications"

Why it needs to be a customized package? Software is software and every Linux application which is open-source can be compiled and placed in /usr/local or whatever non-system level directory.

Why is it so hard to compile the latest supported version and package it in a distro-agnostic way?
> What exactly did DANE achieve? Replacing CAs?

The RFC provided a standard, but people choose to ignore it.

> This thing I find really funny. It basically boils down to "we secured DNS. ok, we figured out it doesn't really work. Ok, how about let's stuff our DNS security system into TLS, because over DNS it does not work? Then we have secure DNS!"

Not quite. DNSSEC secured DNS, but it turns out that this by itself is not important in the today's world.

However, we do have a very fragile situation where half the Internet now depends on the goodwill and competency of just one organization for their security (I'm talking about Let's Encrypt).

> Though I've heard this idea many years ago, and it appears deployment is nonexistent, so... probably not gonna happen either.

TLS extension is a fairly new idea, and it only now is starting to get some traction.

You know that Intel makes GPUs right? In fact, they are by far the biggest producer of GPUs by volume.

Sure, they aren't being used in datacenters but if you are making an application that needs to run locally then you absolutely need good support for intel GPUs.

git may be hard, and bad, and terrible. it’s not the only thing like this. it’s not even a prime example. welcome to software. infamously, this is fine.

overcome it. if you can beat git, you can beat anything.

perhaps you’ll run into aws next. like git, it grew organically, has way too many knobs, and is easy to screw up. like git, it’s the best we’ve got.

as with all things, experiment in a safe context where failure is ok. learn which knobs are important and tape over the rest.

practice until you can do it asleep or drunk or both. maybe write some bash functions so you can forget some of what you learned if it doesn’t matter.

tldr; git good and have fun doing it!
This reminds me of a video I stumbled across on YT : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMq-fApmzts

This guy alleges that the US were 'kind' on Japan (only light tribunal?) after the war because they wanted to acquire the bio-warfare knowledge of the Japanese.

And the Japanese tested bio-bombs.
You can discourage people from using it while still maintaining compatibility.

I have a Go library with some functions that have been deprecated since Go 1.1 (2013); they're just some aliases or wrappers for the newer symbols. They will stay there forever until I have enough reason to release a v2 (which may be never). POSIX also includes plenty of legacy/deprecated stuff like mktemp() that will likely never be removed.

A CLI is a public interface; breaking compatibility is kinda bad.
Developers are not a major source of delays, and benefit from getting their money back faster. We’re so far behind in housing waiting isn’t going to help prices significantly.

I miss TFC. I remember learning how to conc-jump with the medic and figuring out the detonation points for pyro, and ultimately getting to the point where my presence was materially beneficial to my team. I never managed to get there in TF2; they had (at least at first glance - I presume the meta simply changed) blunted the ability of a single player to significantly move objectives forward. I had already been burnt by the changes between Day of Defeat, and DoD: Source, and the TF2 changes seemed to confirm that I was simply not a member of the target audience for the Source remakes.

Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the furthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness: a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say 'no.' But saying 'yes' begins things. Saying 'yes' is how things grow.
There are several theories in designing constitutions. Many countries just give up and rely on common law instead. The more rigid constitutions tend to be ignored or the countries fall off into chaos, so America is somewhat successful in its implementation of constitutional law.

I'm currently trying to do this on my little stack of Pi Zero and Zero 2 boards. I remember at some point this worked great, and then I couldn't get it to work again. So far I'm not having any success. The Pi doesn't show up as a USB device using lsusb on the host. Working my way through a stack of micro-usb cables. Maybe they all are charge only. Anyone have recent success with 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS and Ubuntu on the host end?

Furthermore, Libre Office is not the slickest software, nor do they listen to their users. For about a decade people have been asking, Wth do you mean, I can't select multiple images in a doc and move them?! The team's response remains, You're not supposed to do it that way, you must first smush all your images down into one, then import and move that. This prescribes a waterfall model of doc creation; they're admitting Writer discourages experimentation and stifles creativity. Just a rotten UX and a rotten attitude. They should get better or get lost.
What sort of account activity of yours was suspicious to them, do you think?
1.08 in 100,000 cases of vaccine related myocarditis (VRM), 2.16 deaths per 1,000,000.

Hard to take much meaning away from that without understanding the risk posed by not vaccinating.

If vaccines can prevent long COVID or "post viral syndrome," that's another potential cost benefit analysis. (which would make sense from a laymen perspective, killing k random cells seems bad, but killing N random cells seems strictly worse).

This is the second time on this thread you've claimed that a DANE stapling extension is in the works. But it's not: it was proposed and shot down, years ago.
My Wife has had a small home-based business for 10 years and her customers pay through PayPal about 50% of the time. It was going great until she had a major surgery and put her business on hold for a few months. When she was able to resume, PayPal decided, seemingly arbitrarily, to hold all customer payments for 21 business days going forward because her sales had dropped. That's all, that's the reason that was given to her.

As a small business, this is devastating and there is absolutely nothing that can be done about it unless she increases her sales back to what they were previously, which unfortunately is unlikely given the inflation and economy here in the US. Anyone who runs a small business knows that you need cash to buy more inventory, and if your liquidity is sitting in PayPal so they can get interest on it, your sales are going to slow way, way down.

In 10 years (nearly 11) she has had one customer complaint through PayPal. The customer said she never received her item because, according to the customer herself, it was stolen from her porch after USPS delivered it. In what world is that the seller's fault? Only in PayPal's (and apparently this particular customer).

That is an incredible track record given that period of time and the number of sales she has had (10s of thousands of purchases over that period).

Many of her customers have said they would go elsewhere if she drops PayPal as a payment provider, which will only make things worse (much of her business is repeat business, like 80%).

PayPal finds or manufactures reasons to hold the money you worked your butt off to earn so they can sit on it and, I guess, earn interest. You have no recourse. Zero.

Stay far away from PayPal.
To say it was like this in 20 years ago and I doubt it has changed is pretty crass. Especially for such as Desktop Linux which is essentially unrecognizable from 20 years ago.
I guess you know nothing about Politics, specially in South America, so i will translate it to you. Lula knows the senate, he knows that there is no way this would be approved, but doing as he did, people like you would believe he wanted to change anything. He has other instruments to change it, if he really wanted. This is simply virtue signaling.

Why trust the internet dude? Marina Silva, a strong person in the ecology sector, is probably leaving the government, because of Lula decisions: https://www-estadao-com-br.translate.goog/politica/apos-reun...

"Still during a trip to the G-7, in Japan, Lula had already signaled that he could contradict Marina regarding Ibama's refusal to grant a license for Petrobras to drill oil deposits at the mouth of the Amazon River. The project put the head of the Environment on a collision course with the Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira , as shown by Estadão"
That's what I mean about terrible undying ideologies plaguing Linux. I get it, I feel the same way too but what you don't get is most humans can't painstakingly configure Linux to be secure. What you end up having is something worse than Windows, a system where because you think you are "responsible" it is secure, your false sense of security as a result will cause you more harm.

What I want is for Linux to have good and secure defaults that assume I am an infant with scissors but then if I want to change that and stab myself with a scissor, it lets me do so in the most efficient way possible.
The overall REM stage is in fact critical for the consolidation into long term memory of procedural information learned during the day. Suppressing REM leads reliably to deficits in this type of learning. Interestingly however, prozac fully mitigates this deficit without restoring the actual dreams themselves, which suggests that the mechanism is somewhat independent from dreaming.

Yes, that would be the right decision, not necessarily what middle class voters want, but what they need.
I think you are missing the whole point of what is being suggested. There is no DNSSEC if clients are talking directly with authoritative services using DNS over TLS. No signatures, no sovereign countries who controls keys, not anything which is defined by the DNSSEC. Once a client is securely connect to an authoritative service using TLS, everything that the server is transmitting is by definition authenticated. The client need to traverse the tree of authoritative servers by itself, but that is the only drawback.
Platform risk always exists, no matter the timeframe.
> Rent control: A random windfall for whatever tenant snags these coveted apartments when someone dies in a 3 bedroom apartment they haven't needed in 30 years but "can't afford" to downsize from since they have been paying $650 since 1989. Also the illegal subletters who are numerous and shameless, from personal experience.

This is a misrepresentation of SF rent control. Rent increases for pre-1979 apartments are only capped if the same tenant lives there continuously -- when the apartment lease turns over, the rent can be raised to market rates.

That being said, there are some people that abuse the system by keeping a lease for a place they haven't lived in for 20 years and subletting it, sometimes for a profit, but there aren't apartments where the rent is permanently capped at 80s levels like you're suggesting.
Those people are all amazing. I also recommend Stafford Beer.

The US had invaded Japan, they did not need to be "nice" to acquire any of Japan's knowledge.

My understanding is that the US were worried about the communists and Japan's stability in general and decided not to unduly rock the boat.

I have become increasingly concerned about non-privilege escalation security breaches. As a developer, I run so much code in the form of tools, libraries, etc which are barely vetted, yet they have full access to read and upload everything on my system. SSH keys, credentials, env files are all a minor project takeover away because there is effectively zero user space isolation. Running everything inside a guest VM is looking like an unceasingly sane strategy.
