Interesting. That didn't happen to me when I stayed a month in an Airbnb in Serbia, although the host did ask me for a copy of my passport. (Not that I'd expect it from an Airbnb host even if hotels were doing it... just an additional data point).

For renting a vehicle (or more likely, something like a bike or moped), I can understand why they take your ID as a form of collateral in exchange for the material goods they're lending you. But for a hotel there's no real reason to hold onto it.

Out of curiosity, did you acquiesce and leave your passport with them?
Can you post a link to the article if you can find it?

I'm wondering if they're downsizing given median home cost in Texas is about $300k versus $750k in California, from a quick search. It's nice to have the extra money go to equity instead of taxes, I'm sure, but I'm not sure how moving to California without the bump in income would make sense from a pure cost of living perspective.

Maybe if they're coming from Austin and moving to somewhere cheaper in California they'd find apples for apples. Austin's always been a little expensive but never anything near where it's gotten the past few years.

Another few interesting facts about Texas property taxes:

- Your primary residence gets a "homestead exemption" that lowers the overall rate and also caps any tax increases to 10% a year.

- If over 65, you can defer paying property taxes indefinitely for a 5% yearly interest rate as long as you don't move. You still owe the taxes, but they'll be taken out of your estate.

I like the 10% cap as it makes costs way more predictable, while still not having the weird effects that a permanent capped tax does where people are still paying tax rates based on a home value from the 1980s.

One of the terminal emulators I use, possibly the one that comes with lxqt that Lubuntu installs by default, pops up an "are you sure?" window showing exactly what I am about to paste whenever I middle-click-paste anything with a new-line. It can be disabled, but I found I quite like that extra check and would not mind if other applications did that.
Thank you, this post is pretty much just an advertisement. I was hoping for some more actionable information. Your links you posted are more useful.
Can you be more specific about the flaws? My reasoning as a vegan is based on similarity of nervous systems and the potential for suffering of species similar to me (similar defined by genetic relatedness). I do think that plants have capacity for suffering but it is incomparable to the suffering of a cow, for example.
Some studies show bacteria from fermented foods colonizing the colon and others do not, although regular consumption does tend to marginally increase microbiome diversity (a generic and in many ways crude measure of GI health). In theory, an optimally functioning GI tract would be killing a majority of the live bacteria long before they reach the colon via a combo of enzyme activity, stomach acid, bile, pancreatic enzymes, and immune activity on the way down. What has been more consistently shown is fermented foods causing decreases in GI inflammation and other positive impacts. Some researchers now believe that many if not most of the benefits come from all of the microbial action prior to consumption.

Fermenters such as Lactobacteria do a lot of work for us ahead of time, such as breaking down so-called 'anti-nutrients' and converting low-bioavailability nutrients into high bioavailability nutrients, producing anti-inflammatory metabolites, outcompeting pathogenic bacteria and fungi, and so forth. Bacterial fermentation has even been shown to break down pesticides [0], aflatoxins [1], and other potential contaminants present in the raw food. I wouldn't be shocked if microplastics and/or PFAS gets added to that list, at least under certain conditions, in the coming years.

Years back, I found an oversized Amazon Commercial desk chair.

It's built like a tank, ridiculously wide, and has a decent tall back on it. Apparently it's rated for 500 lbs. I find it supremely comfortable, as I can lean to one side, slouch, sit up straight, anything. Sadly, I can't find it anymore so I'm holding onto it for dear life.
> And the final point is don't be afraid to rewrite the entire system if you have that ability.

No... you should absolutely be afraid of that.

https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/things-you-should-...

Rewriting your entire system is almost always the wrong thing to do and has been the end of plenty of products and companies. I think Joel is spot on here. It's much more difficult to read code than to write code, so new developers always think existing code bases are junk and need to be scrapped while ignoring the value that platform has delivered over years if not decades. Developers aren't paid to be craftsmen. They are paid to deliver a product that provides business value.

Too often developers lose sight of the business value and want to write code for the sake of the craft. You're working for Ikea and complain that you can't use your fancy woodworking tools and techniques and have to stick to dowel based assembly instead of that fancy joinery you'd rather be working with. Those fancy joints are stronger and more stable after all! And what the fuck is up with all the particle board?! All real woodworkers know the stuff is junk and will fall apart as soon as it gets wet. We should be working with mahogany and walnut with cocobolo inlays!

There are places where your fancy joinery skills are appreciated and none of those expenses are spared. But most developers are working at an Ikea or equivalent where the predictability of cost and process is well understood and a reliable product can be delivered at a reasonable price. If you want to be a craftsman, you need to work at the places who are looking for those skills and not just the places who want flat pack furniture quickly and cheaply to keep delivering value to their customers.
> Would it be worth it if one has to consider that the data needs to be moved to the GPU and the result be retrieved

Depends on your batch size. If the computation on the CPU is less than lets say 200 ms it's probably not worth it.

Also consider that integrated GPUs don't have separate memory, I'm not sure, but they might not have a high cost of moving data to memory.
Indeed, Michael Franz's work was certainly impressive. It's unfortunate that the code readability of those parts didn't quite match up to the rest of the system.
Probably not. The computation is only a few trig instructions per array element, so most of the time is moving data on either CPU or GPU.

> In your sort of moral framework, a company would not be able to reduce headcount until bankruptcy.

That's not the case here, where the company has explicitly, publicly stated that this is not for financial reasons. At least when a company is looking at it's financials and realizes it isn't in good shape, it has some justification. That's not the case here: they're explicitly saying they're just greedy.

> Employment is purely, by definition, a transactional relationship. You sell labor. They buy labor. It's why you are free to leave as soon as it makes sense, and it's why they can do the same.

This is strictly false. Businesses go into a relationship with an employee with the knowledge that they simply cannot fire someone without cause. Businesses have elastic labor needs: less labor means less output means less revenue, but it also means less expense. The cost of living for an individual is very inelastic: the threshold for shelter, caloric intake, and other human expenses cannot simply shrink, or at least not on a short timeline.

When you weigh "we might not make as much money as we could because the people we hired aren't as strategically useful to us anymore" against "here's a bunch of people holding up their end of the bargain who still have bills to pay" I cannot understand how you COULDN'T stand behind my moral framework. Morality is about people, not profits.

Not the answer to your question, but:

> I duplicate the array and remove the first item in the duplicated array, append the last entry of the original array to the duplicate in order for them to be equal in length.

I assume/hope this is only what you're doing logically, not physically?

Otherwise you might as well just compute the length using n - 1 points from the existing array, then do the remaining portion manually and add it to the existing sum. That would avoid the copying of the whole array.
> Because their primary purpose was to provide open access to literature and information, which is now widely available thanks to the internet.

Even if you reduce a library to this primary purpose (and maintain that’s it purpose must be static for time immemorial), there are still people that don’t use the internet.

Some can’t. Some think they can’t. Some just won’t. Some don’t have affordable access. Some don’t have access at all.

Libraries still fulfill this information access purpose to a not-insignicant portion of the population in the US.

I think we’re in a bubble here where our idea of minimal computer / internet skills can greatly diverge from the reality of the broader community around us.

And that’s not even touching on the other reasons I listed in my original comment about why libraries still matter.
That's certainly romantic. The real question is how much money - how much of your personal peace - you're going to give up to make space for that culture. Even if it's just putting yourself in conflict with rich people to convince or force them to pay, your asking to change the status quo when a lot of people are quite comfortable with the way things already are.

If you want to go down a deep, dark, sad rabbit hole, look in to the digital audio part of the "audiophile" world.

For me it began when I looked at a friend's catalogue that had a $2,500 (25 years ago) CD player that claimed incredible fidelity in part because they bathed the underside of the disc with blue light while reading with a red laser, as though this somehow made reading the bits better.

I explained to my friend that barring scratches and speed fluctuations, bits are bits, and none of that matters one iota until you get to the digital to analogue stage.

My example was that you could write the data on strips of cloth from old pyjamas using free crayons that restaurants give to kids, put them in Dixie Cups and transport them across the Sahara on camelback, and so long as you reassemble them in the right order, the bits will be identical to the bits from a $2,500 CD player.

He's a brilliant guy, but it took him longer to understand what I was saying than I could've predicted. The whole thing - the scammy market, the FUD, the bullshit, the desire to believe - was and still is fascinating, albeit sad.

Someone somewhat recently did a review, if you can call it that, of "audiophile" ethernet switches. Yes, they want you to believe that the bits somehow are better if you send them using their special ethernet switches. Might be worth a quick search.
You should tell that to the tech people. They have a thing named DRM and they may "go to jail" if they try to modify even the software not to mention the hardware. They are treated like criminals.

The point is to make folks answer without the help of external tools, such as an IDE, on the basis that they will be able to reliable accomplish more advanced tasks with such tools in practice. Whether or not this theory is mostly reliable or barely, or not at all, depends on the viewpoint.

If a more advanced question is posed, then the assumption is that the requirement is for the prospective employee to accomplish even more advanced tasks in practice.

At best you can add your own contribution to your environment, with exponentially increased difficulty as what you want to influence grows in scope from family (2-4 people), relatives (10-15 people), friends (30-40 people), city/village (100s or 1000s or people), big city (100.000s or millions of people), country (tens of millions to hundreds of millions), or the world (8 billion).

I think GPU computing should not be done in application layer. It's way too low-level.
I wouldn't say iPhone 13 Mini fixed the battery life problem. It was just iPhone 12 mini was so bad. Especially with 5G. I use it a lot for work ( email and whatsapp ) and 13 Mini just dont quite make it.

Technically they could have made an iPhone SE as Mini size, with single camera, down clocked A18 ( on N3E ), more internal space for battery due to one less camera lens, tune the OLED panel for energy efficiency rather than brightness and quality.

But modern Apple is all about operational efficiency. I doubt they will do any of that.

I guess that is also the issue with Power10 here that causes Raptor to go its own way. For SPARC, it mentions the 32-Bit SPARC v8 and says that 64-Bit SPARC v9 is proprietary, which seems weird given that the T1/T2 are based on that SPARC v9, but I guess that just because the CPU Core is licensed under GPL, the ISA itself is still encumbered?

It will have to be seen if this statement will age like milk or like fine wine:

In software, the desire to throw away all the old and start brand new is often a bad idea because a lot of the janky stuff in the old stuff exists for a reason, often not a very obvious one. But no idea how much baggage old ISAs carry that can be truly discarded, achieving high performance is often a messy affair.
