> if the underlying buffer needs to reallocate after some edits the entire process slows to a crawl as you need to allocate a larger buffer and copy each byte into the new buffer and destroy the old one. It can turn an O(n) operation into O(n^2) randomly.

This would still only be a O(n) operation. The constant value might be higher, but the complexity is the same.

I don’t buy the argument that gap buffers “are bad for multiple cursors”. I get the argument on a theoretical level, but real hardware is not theoretical. There are several operations that are theoretical faster with a hashmap or b-tree than a vector, like insert and delete. But in reality the vector is usually faster in the real world except for very large inputs[1]. Gap buffers are basically vectors.

Another point with multiple cursors and gap buffers is that Chris Wellons animations show the gap moving back to the first cursor every time it needed to add a new character. But in reality you would just walk the cursors in reverse order each time, saving a trip.

I have actually written and benchmarked a very naive and unoptimized gap buffer, and the results showed that it was faster than highly optimized rope implementations on all real world benchmarks[2], including multiple cursors.

That being said, a gap buffer is still probably not the best data structure for a text editor because it has worse “worse case” performance than something like a rope or piece-tree. Even though it is faster overall, it’s the tail latency's that really matter for interactive programs.

Overall I enjoyed reading the post, I find the topics fascinating and this was well presented.

Well, yeah, back in 1982: "The Berkeley RISC project delivered the RISC-I processor in 1982. Consisting of only 44,420 transistors (compared with averages of about 100,000 in newer CISC designs of the era), RISC-I had only 32 instructions, and yet completely outperformed any other single-chip design" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_instruction_set_comput...)

Which was followed by x86 chips being used in nearly all PCs for forty years ...

I just want selected/declared "final results" to be restorable in a new kernel. Papermill let's you easily parameterize notebooks and execute them.

Papermill does a great job of recording the input parameters and execution history. But there isn't anything equivalent to the "return foo, bar" part of a function which makes it difficult to build up modules. You don't want to have to digitize a plot to carry on to the next step is what I'm saying.
Yeah, I got a Seiko 5 for under a hundred bucks awhile ago which was actually scary accurate.

A startup going from being VC backed to PE is one that is greatly reducing its expectations of the future value of current work.

I can see how it would feel like the PE firm is ruining the business to a current employee. Projects that you worked on, saw a lot of money poured in to, that you personally still believe in; get shut down and you think "why would these idiots buy that just to shut it down? Must be finance shenanigans involving write offs and shell companies" when really they valued those projects at $0 or less when they bought the company.

I recall reading not that long ago something about some condiment that was apparently on every public eating table in 18th England. Yet (as I recall the story) virtually nothing is known about what the condiment actually was. It was so ordinary yet unremarkable, there’s like only a single surviving written reference to it. And that reference was something like, “is there even anything to be said about the humble table jar?” And in retrospect, yes, there was!

Are you trying to attribute that difference to child labor? Because uhhh… that’s a huge, huge stretch.

Japan’s poor production numbers were not due to lack of successful “pivot” of their workforce, nor of idle hands, nor of lack of skill. Everything was on all cylinders for the war effort.

It was a tiny, resource-poor country of craftsmen and corrupt sycophants fighting an industrial war of attrition, already many years deep in their own theater by the time the US entered. They were doomed even before Pearl Harbor and doubly so afterwards for dozens of reasons aside from their use of child labor prior to the war.

They were towing (handmade, not assembly line) Mitsubishi Zeros out of the jungle by oxen.

The child labor theory is beyond silly.

If all systems talk this we'd save tens of thousands of man hours. Just do the conversion for us mortals, or other necessities.

I agree with your point. McDonald's value meals have been a staple for low income households for a long time, and from what I hear the app provides daily deals that can mean the difference between someone going hungry or not.

Of all the corporations a person could get mad at, choosing one that is well known for feeding low income families is an odd choice.

This is not at all true and is the direct product of a lack of anti-trust enforcement in the US. We have monopolies and near monopolies in many industries and open collusion between firms on pricing. Most of this would be impossible in a more competitive landscape or one where the Feds did anything other than attempt (and often fail) to squash the most egregious consolidations.
Specifically, $100,000 is about 80th percentile income in the US.
The US still spends almost triple (per capita) what any other country spends on healthcare. Between the hospitals and the insurance companies, Americans are definitely getting a bad deal.
If you're unemployed, you almost certainly qualify for Medicaid in 41 states. It's the best insurance money can't buy. It covers everything. You pay for nothing. In fact, it's illegal to charge you for anything. Balance billing doesn't exist. You cease to be a mark for the healthcare racket if you can engineer your income to $0 on paper. The vast majority of medical providers will accept it. It is the best insurance I've ever had. If it were possible to get private insurance for $0 premiums, or pay $500 a month out of pocket for individual Medicaid coverage, I'd pick Medicaid every single time. I cannot overemphasize how much I despise the private insurance racket. The only reason we don't have a public option is because it would destroy the private racket overnight.

Mental healthcare is a different story, but it's not any better with private insurance. Every therapist or psychiatrist in the insurance racketeer's provider directory is either dead, moved out of state, or not taking patients. "Ghost networks," they're called...

The worst insurance I've ever had was at a FANG, via United Healthcare. It covered nothing. Hardly anyone accepted it, apart from the on-site health clinic. It was worse than a university health plan, for god's sake. As to quality, you say it's the best in the world, but the fact that the US now has a life expectancy lower than China, Cuba, and Albania determines that this is a lie.

Unpopular truth on this forum: the healthcare system in this country is owned and operated by organized crime entities. It is completely illegitimate. It consumes 19% of GDP of the richest country on the planet, and Americans are some of the least healthy people outside of active war zones. Unless you're using your doctor as your Xanax dealer (John Mulaney explains how that hustle works: https://www.tiktok.com/@funkytownmc/video/722624028419819447...), this system sucks for you too.

I would be shocked if the Mexican cartels weren't deeply involved with United Healthcare and all these other corporate gangsters. This industry is the greatest crime of all time.

I don't agree with the part about starting a new project with no legacy code being easy; starting a new project with no old code at all can be paralyzing.

in python you can turn nested dictionaries and other data structures into json, but only if the data structures doesn't include circular references. I use that a lot.

>>> print( json.dumps(d, indent=2) )
{
"a": 1,
"b": [

> You have never trashed your system from virtualenv?

Unless one have done something they shouldn't have done (in particular, using sudo while working with virtualenv), this shouldn't be possible.

Due to limitations of most commonplace system-wide package managers (like, dpkg, rpm or ebuild, not modern stuff like nix) system packages exist to support other system packages. One installs some program, it needs libraries, dependencies get pulled. And then its distro package managers' job to ensure compatibility and deal with multiple version conflicts (not fun).

But if you start or check out some project, common knowledge was that you shouldn't be using on system packages, even if they're available and could work. With some obligatory exceptions like when you're working on a distribution packaging, or developing something meant to be tightly integrated with a particular distro (like a corporate standard stuff).

That is, unless we're talking about some system libraries/drivers needed for CUDA in particular (which is system stuff) rather than virtualenv itself.

The problems Turkey has had due to this are due to misaligned global-trade incentives, though, no? (I.e., having low interest rates during inflation, and so intentionally tanking your currency's foreign valuation, makes your exports even more worthless and your imports even more costly.) There might well be some kind of positive internal-macroeconomic effects, but they'd be impossible to detect through (and mostly irrelevant due to) the overriding external-macroeconomic impacts of these policies.

It would be interesting to see whether a country that had little-to-no dependence on global trade — North Korea, say — would actually see its internal economy benefit from low interest rates during an inflationary crisis.
