> For the sheer number of surveillance cameras and phones around today, we should be getting far more UFO pictures.

Surveillance cameras usually aren't looking up. They are for catching Bigfoot, not UFOs. :-)

As far as phone cameras go I used to agree. Then I started feeding birds, which led to trying to learn the names of the birds in my area.

When I'd see a bird I didn't yet know I'd try to get a photo. That worked pretty well for birds that landed to eat the seeds I put out. For birds that I saw flying by I usually only got evidence that there was something in the sky.

I've had similar poor outcomes when I've noticed a plane that wasn't one of the usual airliners or UPS/FedEx cargo planes or Boeing test flights or smaller private planes that we get all the time and tried to get a photo.

When young, the fur often hasn't grown yet.

Also, the fur itself may degrade in UV, making it weaker, fading, and losing waterproofing and other properties the animal relies on.

And finally, the cost of fluorescence may be very small - meaning that it may have had some benefit at some point in the past, but there now no selective pressure to get rid of it.

I've been a Rails dev for almost 10 years and the magic is the worst part. When something just works but I expected another hour of work, I feel like I've fallen into a trap. So, instead of just moving on, I look in the documentation for what just happened.

When you find yourself interacting with the magic parts, it is imperative that you comment what is going on so the next dev, which will probably be you, isn't also surprised.

It's not perfect, but it's a good proxy that you can calculate from macro figures without needing data from every single company etc.

Profit per hour worked (which will be somewhat correlated) puts a hard ceiling on wages, so it is important.

It's more to do with the type of industries a country has. The USA has many of the world's largest and most successful corporations and their HQs generate a lot of highly productive and well-paid jobs.

Meanwhile Southern Europe, for example, depends heavily on tourism which creates less value and tends to have low paid jobs.

The thing about how Europe has no Big Tech companies is almost a meme. But it has some truth to it.

It does work. The "different" coordinate system is only a facade.
I'm almost out of my depth here, but I believe this isn't (only) about escape analysis. A function call (like pthread_mutex_lock(), or any other) is running on the same thread.

I can see how failure to prove that a variable hasn't escaped a certain scope must prevent compiler reordering when a function of unknown implementation is called -- but not how that failure should require emitting memory barrier instructions.

However I realize that setjmp()/longjmp() isn't about threading either. What those functions do is quite weird.

High concentrations of the stock market has been around since forever:

There is this comparison of student projects in different languages https://thume.ca/2019/04/29/comparing-compilers-in-rust-hask...
> In C++ there's actually a lot more freedom.

Not really. The two languages are similar on this. The 'volatile' before 'sig_atomic_t' is still required in C++ for the same reasons as C. You can access non-volatile sig_atomic_t variables in C too, but in both languages that's not enough for the signalling that type exists for, so you have to use 'volatile sig_atomic_t', in C and C++.

An example of scenario 1) is the loop below. The 'volatile' is required in C++ the same as in C. If you interrupt the loop below in C++ with a signal handler that updates 'flag', the loop is not guaranteed to exit unless 'flag' is declared volatile.

You can test this easily. Just now I compiled the C++ code below with Clang/LLVM with -O on a Mac, and GCC with -O on Linux. On both systems and compilers, Control-C fails to stop the process if 'volatile' is not used. If compiled without -O, Control-C always interrupts the process, but you can't rely on behaviour of disabled optimisations.

#include <signal.h>

#if 0
volatile
#endif
sig_atomic_t flag = 0;

void handler(int sig) {
flag = 1;
}

int main(void) {
signal(SIGINT, handler);
while (!flag) { /* Spin waiting for flag */ }
return 0;
}

I'm talking about citizenship. I'm not familiar with every single country's policies, but it's simply a fact that the USA is more accommodating to immigrants than Germany and France, for example. France for instance barely provides support for English speakers, god forbid any other country that speaks other languages.

An immigrant who finds themselves in New York City, to contrast, will see that the city provides government assistance in dozens of languages and proof of address and things of that nature aren't even required.
The car also has certificates from the manufacturer, and those certificates have a maximum 90 day validity. The charger has to verify the certificates before providing power. Some but not all chargers let the car have internet access to renew the certificates from a manufacturer server.

Effectively, that means if your car manufacturer goes bankrupt, you lose charging ability 90 days later. Same if you only charge in places without internet connectivity.

> Taking this approach, Aristotle proposes that the highest good for humans is eudaimonia, a Greek word often translated as "flourishing" or sometimes "happiness". Aristotle argues that eudaimonia is a way of being in action (energeia)[14]: 230–251 that is appropriate to the human "soul" (psuchē) at its most "excellent" or virtuous (aretē). Eudaimonia is the most "complete" aim that people have, because they aim at for its own sake. An excellent human is one who is good at living life, who does so well and beautifully (kalos). Aristotle says such a person would also be a serious (spoudaios) human being. He also asserts that virtue for a human must involve reason in thought and speech (logos), as this is an aspect (an ergon, literally a task or work) of human living.[1]: I.7(1098a)

In most countries it's _impossible_ for immigrants to get on welfare, until they become fully naturalized. This is a myth that's put about by the right.

Moving your player means only changer its relative order to a few blocks, so even a bubble sort will do at most a few swaps (typically 0 or 1 swap per frame unless it moves many blocks per frame) so yes, it should be inexpensive.

And you don't need to run the full bubble sort on all blocks, just on the 2 blocks adjacent to the player (in the sorted list), and repeat until stabilized.

Edit: I'm not sure about the symmetry thing though. You're sorting into a cone, so maybe there are cases where you're not symmetrical at all.

I'd like to add to what the other commenter said. I use the same stack but I mostly limit Copilot to autocomplete, the built in chat is not really as good as just copying and pasting into GPT-4 for anything even remotely complex. There is also Cursor https://www.cursor.so/ which integrates GPT-4 into the IDE but you do have to switch to using their custom version of VSCode. ChatGPT Plus is also getting multi-modal support so you can send it images, this has been useful for working on webdev for me but I could see it being useful in gamedev as well. If you haven't used ChatGPT much before, make sure to fill in your Custom Instructions with details about yourself and your preferred communication and programming styles. It really helps focus the model on your use case.

Are you sure?

According to [1] (page 139), 36.4% of US adults have net worths between 100k an 1M, and 8.8% are millionaires. 26% are under 10k, 45.2% are over 100k.

But 32.8% of Europeans are under 10k, and only 29.5% are between 100k and 1M, and only 2.7% over 1M. So 32.2% are over 100k.

Median wealth for the US is 83k, and for Europe, it's 26k. (page 130).

Looks like Europeans have a far larger proportion of poor people, and far smaller upper middle + millionaire class.

Can't just construction workers bounce to a new job if their existing job is abusing them, asking them to work under unsafe conditions, etc? It would seem abuse can only happen if they can't find another job. Regulations about how the workplace can't be a deathtrap is strangulating the market. /s

Imagine you are a lone mother taking care of her kid, you are carpooling to work, and barely making ends meet. Then your landlord starts making some demands on you and starts hinting that he might throw you out otherwise. Is it realistic to say "The mother should just move out the next day, and find a new place for herself and her child, and find a new means of transportation to her job. If that new landlord abuses his power she should just move again the next day."

Your viewpoint isn't uncommon, but the last few hundred years of modern society has repeatedly demonstrated that if people have leverage over others in terms of their access to food, medicine and shelter, then that power will be abused. If companies could they'd be paying you in scrip, we had to outlaw it, not simply tell workers to find a non-scrip workplace.
It looks like this service is intended to replace the kind of random "notify us of a missing manhole cover" type forms that are found in their thousands on government websites.

Only a small fraction of government services will have their own custom backend application supporting them.
"if worn properly, no discomfort whatsoever"

Teach me. I'm at an event right now (not CCC obviously) and wearing a mask for some hours and it's killing, making me look for any opportunity to get outside and take it off for five minutes. It pulls on both ears, pushes onto the bridge of my nose (that issue seems to be this particular mask though), and depending on how I adjust it, either shoots jets or air into my eyes or onto my glasses and fogging them up. How does one wear this "properly"?

Not like you can turn it upside down or inside out, I'm not sure what options I have? I've tried one of these plastic things for behind your head, so it doesn't have to hold onto the ears directly, but that trades added nose hurt for reduced ear hurt.

This has been the case with all masks in the past years btw, so unless there's a secret brand, I'd not guess it's brand related. The thing has to be somewhat leak-proof for it to work so that seemed to make sense to me

It's not like this is mandatory atm, just trying to do the right thing (most people don't wear one)...
I've been bitten by reordering. In my case, the toolchain developers implemented the reordering step in the assembler as an extra optimization step (on by default of course), so I had to disassemble the binary to even find the problem. They had redefined the assembly language semantics to require "volatile" keywords wherever you needed ordering maintained. I turned that particular optimization off.
