Border guards in the US tend to be more strict than other countries though. I’ve heard plenty of stories of friends being refused entry into the US, and I don’t personally know of anyone who was rejected coming in to any other country.

It’s devastating when this happens because not only are you thrown out of the country on the next flight, but once you’ve been rejected at the border once, you can never apply for a simple online visa permit again. For the rest of your life you need to go to a consulate with your passport like this article describes.

I was almost denied entry once when I visited Hawaii. The immigration officer heard I was on vacation for a month and had no cash on me (who travels with cash?). Turns out he was worried I’d end up homeless. He didn’t realise that as an Australian, I get paid while on vacation and I had plenty of money in a bank account online.

This isn’t (just) a race thing. I’ve heard plenty of rejection stories from white, Australian men.

The caste was never a Hindu concept. If you said varna or jati, it would have made more sense. Caste was introduced by the British because they wanted to homogenize the different heterogeneous communities in India into one structured classification.

Varna is occupation and jati is tribe. Each tribe had people with different occupations who supported the village life through activities of their professions. Inter-jati marriages were allowed, and so were inter-varna marriages. There was no discrimination within jatis, in fact, they all supported each other for the sustenance of their jati.

Untouchability was present in some cases, but it was between 2 jatis. Meaning, one jati would consider the other jati as untouchable. However, it was not between varnas.

This system became more rigid after British started classifying people into different castes, providing benefits to some and taking away some from others, and that's how the caste system evolved into what it was.

Hash is so powerful in Ruby that people often overuse them.

One of the most common issues I found on Ruby code-bases is to not create classes to represent their domain and simply use hashes everywhere.

The downside is that a hash has no shape. It can (and will) be anything you want it to be, often causing havoc once the system grows.

Checks for keys everywhere. Almost all statements use the safe navigation because you never know what shape you're dealing with. Multiple places performing the same map/reduce/filter/etc. All because people stick to hashes a bit too long.
This isn’t quite accurate.

Graded exposure can be a more manageable way to get to the end result (fear extinction), but reminding yourself that the threat isn’t real is a fear-neutralizing behavior that will limit the effectiveness of the treatment. The point of exposure therapy is to feel the fear and to do nothing about it other than let the feeling (eventually) climax and dissipate. (In fact, “lean in harder” can be even better than “do nothing”.)

[Edit: I want to emphasize this point for others who may find this post: if you are doing exposure work or you’re supporting someone who is, please don’t reassure yourself/them that the exposure isn’t dangerous. At best it undermines the treatment; at worst it reinforces the fear. When you violate your anxiety by facing a feared situation or idea, it will and should feel like you are doing something bad and dangerous.]

Second, graded exposure isn’t always necessary - flooding (direct exposure to the high level fear situation) works too, and can work a lot faster.

But I think most people with anxiety disorders have a number of fears not just a single isolated phobia - and they’re connected in a network of sorts. It’s often helpful for the person to experience success in extinguishing a low-moderate grade fear first, to grok the process and build confidence to approach their worst fears successfully.

insertion sort only ever makes one outer pass; it does almost exactly half as many comparisons as bubble sort (n rather than 2n-2) in that case, and the same number of swaps (1)

the wikipedia article has a cleverer early-exit version of bubble sort that keeps track of the last pair it had to swap; it will do 1.5n-1 comparisons in that case on average (because the swapped pair is on average in the middle of the array)

above i linked to working code on godbolt (modulo the extra unnecessary swaps on duplicate keys that you were kind enough to point out earlier); edit a comparison counter and a swap counter into it and you'll see

This right here is exactly why Snowflake is a good fit for my org.: we could pay someone's salary to install, maintain, and upgrade some open source alternative (and the VPS to run it), or we could just pay for Snowflake and stop wasting engineering's time on the Data Science's team's stuff, which frees them up to move faster on the core platform features bringing in the big bucks.

This reads like a flavor of the same argument I've heard many times over. You know what the biggest cost of an org. really is as we head into a recession? Labor. Stop wasting it on stuff done better by specialized companies that free you up to get stuff done.

Why? Getting someone so sign off on a CLA is a huge burden. There are loads of companies that have huge software development teams but the company is NOT an IT company. Legal isn't setup to figure out a CLA.

At least that's in my experience. It's significantly easier to not contribute back than spend ages trying to involve legal. Sort of like a barrier to entry, though maybe called a barrier to contribute.
Plus, getting hundreds of people to take flights from all over the world in order to watch keynotes seems very disconnected from current state of the world.

According to that Wikipedia page, this looks very similar to the ESTA.

Having had to apply for that last year, it's not at all clear to me how that could help prevent any kind of illegal or unwanted migration. It's not rocket science to say that "yeah, you're only visiting for a few days and that yes, you intend to go back".

So I think it absolutely is a political circus, aka retaliation.

Just like during COVID, when at one point cases started taking off in France again, some country (can't remember which, might have been the UK) started asking for a negative test before entering. Wouldn't you know it, the next day it became mandatory for people coming in the other way. Cases hadn't moved in that other country.

For a long time I have had this idea of finding a radioactive decay chain that produces mostly alpha particles, then encapsulating it fully in an inert pill. My thought is that you could swallow these pills when climbing Everest, and these pills would just provide a little bit of heat continually, reducing calorie requirements on the mountain, and reducing a little of the strain on your body from having to produce that heat.

I don't know if this is feasible at all, but the idea keeps coming back to me.

> The Fortune 100 have a use case for these companies, the rest are overpaying.

There is a difference between "a use case for $data_platform" and "a data use case for $data_platform". Scope on the first one is the platform in $data_platform" and second is the data specifics requirements in $data_platform.

Working on a non-Fortune100 insurance company in Europe, almost all our use cases can be easily done on traditional RDBMS like SQL Server, or on BI tools like SAS. Thankfully with higher granularity over time, Excel usage is fading out constantly. No big data, no heavy computing necessary - at least from my point of view.

All setups in place today, can be called self-service platforms. With cautious estimations we have at least 100 of such "platforms" running since years, or even decades.

This situation implies direct, we have a use case for a $data_platform itself. Costs are the biggest driver here, mainly due to the hidden costs of keeping these 100 systems up and running. Governance and management of the data, locked-in in all these stores, processed by slow and ugly SQLs nobody understands anymore, and with an unknown state of data quality, is key today.

You're complaining about people encoding dates in string and at the same time you encode numbers in string. That's funny.

There's standard to encode dates to string. It's called ISO-8601 and it's supported everywhere.

Also JSON poses no particular limits which would force anyone to encode string as number.
That’s one phone with overpriced features unfortunately. I understand you’re paying for a small batch, niche device (that some users have had a lot of issues getting the thing shipped) to get a slow CPU, measly RAM/storage, meh camera, & an IPS panel. I’d rather go the route of postmarketOS with BYOD that with better specs (even a 4–5 year old phone can easily outcompete) & an OLED panel, but much of the effort is not in telephony (I understand it’s all volunteer hackers, but it’s an unfortunate effect). The PinePhones have the same spec issues even with a better sticker price. It’s just too hard to justify. I flashed postmarketOS & Ubuntu Touch on an old OnePlus 1 which has similar specs & it’s gruelingly slow. Phones in the last 3 years are now all ‘good enough’ (hence sales across the board plummeting as upgrades have meant a lot less finally), so until the specs can get there, it’s gonna be a pass.
We are serializing our dates to ISO8601, works great. Have never had any issues.

> Which is irrelevant, because there is barely any functional difference between the two

Well it is relevant, it tells that you're not familiar with the subject and most likely googled what looked related and found outdated man pages which seemed related.

> Wrong, they absolutely do. "Accessing" something doesn't just involve the IO, it also involves the setup

I think common sense would disagree, but if that's your line of arguing, sure.

> And the argument in that post stands as solid as it was before. `mmap` MAPS memory. This mapping requires an address translation overhead EVERYTIME THE MEMORY IS ACCESSED. This translation doesn't happen in userspace.

How deep are you willing to dig your hole there?

Two messages ago you were arguing that accessing a shared memory required syscall and thus was slow. Now you've accepted it doesn't require syscall but argue it requires some magical dynamic translation by the kernel?

I'm sorry but again that is just wrong. All the kernel does is inject the mappings when setting up TLB/MMU at context switch.

The virtual address translation happens without kernel intervention, through the MMU, in _exactly_ the same manner whether this is a named or anonymous memory mapping, whether it is a shared or heap page. In fact the MMU couldn't care less what these addresses are, it has no concept of the meaning of what it translates.
That was a long time ago and it was Linden Lab inviting me to some sort of Second Life open source discussion group.

I wouldn't have done much good there anyway so it was no big loss for anyone -- My spoken English was barely understandable at the time, I think most of the talk was related to the protocol which I wasn't even working with at the time.

Kind of a pity it didn't work out because I think it'd have been an entertainingly awkward experience for everyone involved, and I wouldn't have minded the English practice.

> How about just give up and quit your job? It would have the same effect.

If by "it would have the same effect" you mean that it will be ignored, then maybe. But if you are saying that not attending international conferences is the same as not getting a job as a researcher in the first place, then I find this an exaggeration. Especially considering that one can participate in the scientific process by submitting their papers to journals, and that every country, including those in the Global South, can have their own conferences.

What you may refer to is prestige. But that's a separate matter altogether.

An overview of the impacts of feral cattle, water buffalo and pigs on the savannas, wetlands and biota of northern Australia

Feral ungulate populations have considerable impacts on soil, water quality, waterhole hydrology, vegetation, fire regimes and the spread of exotic plants, and resulting changes to habitat have flow-on effects for native wildlife. Ungulate impacts on vegetation communities and associated changes in fire regimes are particularly concerning given that sustained grazing can lead to the permanent removal of key grass species and changes in fire intensity and frequency can result in the conversion of grassland to woodland. Native wildlife can be affected by ungulate disturbance in a multitude of ways, but overwhelmingly, habitat loss or degradation is the main driver for declines in biodiversity.

> We're used to the world economy growing a few percent per year. This has been the case for many generations.

This is a thing that has been puzzling me for a while. Isn't "growth by a few percent each year" already exponential?

E.g. if you had a constant economic growth of 1% per year, that would mean that this year's GDP would always be 101% of last year's GDP, which is exponential growth.

So even with a "constant" relative growth rate, the plot of "absolute" GDP over time would eventually become a hockey-stick curve - things would be expected to get weird at some point if the steepness of the curve crosses some threshold.

Never underestimate incompetence. It usually succeeds despite itself.

It also could have been apathy: knowing there was a better solution and just not caring what was implemented. I feel like this is more common than incompetence, especially in larger projects or organizations. Nature tends to take the path of least resistance.

Why can’t it be cached? Because it’s unique per device. Only thing that makes sense.

There’s no reason to think the ARM package is supplemental binaries to overlay on top of an Intel package in the way your original comment stated.

All the article says is Intel gets 1 500mb package, ARM gets two packages, a 700mb and a 1.1GB. It doesn’t opine on the contents. All we know is that Intel gets 1 cacheable package and ARM gets 2, 1 cacheable and one not, and that the Intel one happens to be roughly the same size - but not exactly - as one of the ARM ones.

It’s very easy to forget how annoying Visas can be, if you are from a privileged country. I’m a German married to a South African, but before that we were long-distance dating. Me visiting her was effortless. Fly there, stand in line, get my stamps, done.

Her visiting Germany? A lot of paperwork and appointments in both countries and usually paying for a 36h document courier to get her all the documents in time because it always takes longer than expected …

And that’s not even talking about them marriage itself as SA is not one of those countries where you can (ab)use easy Danish marriages because she then would have to fly back to SA as she’s not allowed to change visas while not in her home country.

Conceptually at a high level yes (if the hardware was ~identical). Resuming from hibernation on the same machine resuming from hibernation is basically loading an image into memory and executing it that OP asked about too. But in either the resume or hypothetical hypernation migration cases, you can't just start running where the previous boot left off, you have to go through hibernation resume functions which basically do the same thing as boot in terms of configuring hardware.

On virtual machines there probably isn't nearly so much real hardware to set up, and hypervisors can optimize virtual device setup. The machine image could also be provided via COW snapshot of memory. So I don't know, possibly at some corners it could be faster to do a resume type operation than a full boot. I haven't played with hypervisor guest boot at these kinds of speeds before.
