Just because this is such a pervasive idea. Is it actually true that sugar correlates to any kind of hyperactivity? In the past I have seen studies concluding no correlation between sugar intake and energy. Also anecdotally, a few teaspoons of sugar has never given me the ability to run faster, or a little bit longer. It’s never made me become more active or wired. If it did, I’d be more prone to strategically use it to “gain an edge”.

That is to say, I’m even a victim of joking about this with other parents. But I do because I felt that it is a pervasive “truth” and I encounter no human that is willing to entertain the contrary. To the same extent, I’ve also never witnessed any adult sneak a tablespoon of sugar to get that hyperactivity boost.

Fat is also more calorically dense than gasoline. But I’ve also never seen someone bounce off the walls after consumption.
South Africa is one the most unequal and dangerous advanced economies where middle class white people almost universally live in fortified compounds. Desperation, unemployment, and crushing poverty is what drives such property crime.

A friend of mine lived in the suburbs of Moscow in 1991. The family was watching TV when suddenly the power went out. It turns out someone stole the power lines to sell for scrap. Infrastructure cannibalism is a sign of civilization on the verge of collapse.
It was faster in the early 2000s. It hasn’t been for the last decade and a half - try it now and be reminded just how bad IE6 was:

The thing which was slow is changing more than you need to change. When the React marketing push included performance, that’s almost always what they were comparing it to - someone would have slow code making the same updates multiple times or triggering reflows by forcing the browser to do a partial update to measure something, and then updating again.

There’s an argument that the guaranteed overhead of using React is better because it helps the average developer who doesn’t measure performance much do a better job than they might have otherwise, and that can be true for many people but it also tended to get oversimplified to “React is fast” despite widespread evidence to the contrary.
> Sure, maybe if you are some sort of SaaS with a need for a small single DB, that also needs to be resilient, backed up, rock solid bulletproof.. it makes sense? But how many cases are there of this?

Most software startups these days? The blog post is about work done at a startup after all. By the time your db is big enough to cost an unreasonable amount on RDS, you’re likely a big enough team to have options. If you’re a small startup, saving a couple hundred bucks a month by self managing your database is rarely a good choice. There’re more valuable things to work on.
same. Though only 0.25Tb so far. :) getting there. I struggle with bands that do not sell CDs, but everything from my childhood is cheap and easy to find.
Agreed.

I also do not see any value in the current questions; individual status should be communicated with in a tracking tool.

The standup is a chance to get everyone together, raise and share any issues or clever solutions or whatever, maybe get a 'feel' for status, and tell some jokes. It should be short, maybe extremely short sometimes.
Check out beam.cloud. They’re impressing me with calling GPU runtimes as a FaaS

5.604¢ for my last bill. (About 6¢ after taxes.)
I think the title is a bit misleading, it's thousands/millions of robots that try to learn flying (in simulation) and only one of them gets really good at it and is selected, then flashed onto the real quadcopter.

It is kind of impressive that it works that well. But also shows how much at the beginning machine learning still is. Theoretically a robot could learn flying in the same way as a human, without crashing million of times first. And the robot could learn much faster than a human does.

I actually enjoy doing this, it's also easy to automate with github actions too
Can you explain more about this? I personally don't see anything wrong with what the original poster said, so I'd be curious to hear if I'm working with outdated information.
From the stackoverflow link within TFA:

> With GCC when your program doesn't use multiple threads shared_ptr doesn't use atomic ops for the refcount. This is done by updating the reference counts via wrapper functions that detect whether the program is multithreaded (on GNU/Linux this is done by checking a special variable in Glibc that says if the program is single-threaded[1]) and dispatch to atomic or non-atomic operations accordingly.

> I realised many years ago that because GCC's shared_ptr<T> is implemented in terms of a __shared_ptr<T, _LockPolicy> base class, it's possible to use the base class with the single-threaded locking policy even in multithreaded code, by explicitly using __shared_ptr<T, __gnu_cxx::_S_single>. You can use an alias template like this to define a shared pointer type that is not thread-safe, but is slightly faster[2]:

The word we’re all looking for is “systemic”.

Disclaimer: The following might make you feel hopeless - I apologize for that in advance. I guess I’m a little in shock right now by the latest Sam Altman news about him looking to pour trillions into driving people out of jobs and possibly jeopardizing humanity. This is indeed like Oppenheimer all over again. I can see it now. Or maybe I need a fresh perspective. Comments are welcome.
/Disclaimer

Yes people don’t want to get involved. Yes they are stretched thin. Corporate America puts such onerous demands on them that apathy becomes rampant.

It only furthers the agendas of powerful figureheads. Their self-actualization goals influence how the society is governed (top-tier in Maslov’s hierarchy).

Individual needs of the people - the worker bees - suffer as a direct consequence. There is no longer the “life” part in work-life (the weekends maybe, if you take out kid duty and household chores).

There’s no easy way out, and as much as I love everything being done in the name of scientific progress, I don’t like the cost we are paying for it as a society. We’re an unhappy bunch - this wasn’t the American dream, or any dream.

I think what’s increasingly missing is some culture - like non-commercial good music. People doing stuff because they were motivated by themselves - not commissioned art. Maybe what we need is a renaissance.

Why? To help people losen up a bit, so they can start to remember what living used to feel like. Then maybe, just maybe, people will also start to care more about each other. And dare I say, they might even have some time to volunteer in the service of others.

Also, I am not saying everyone fits the above narrative. There are people who do this today - they have dedicated their lives to service. But it’s not the norm, it’s not even 20% of the population. People like me are the norm. We wish well, we want what’s better. But wanting doesn’t automatically translate into actions - that requires motivation and dedication. Which comes from being inspired. And you can’t get inspired by anything when your life is about surviving each day.
The nutritional label doesn't provide clarity either. It doesn't differentiate between types of sugars, and although there is the newly required "Added Sugars" category, it doesn't include sugars from concentrated fruit juices, which can be misleading since these are technically added sugars too.
Death porn and poverty porn are disgusting.
I drank orange juice with every meal growing up. I'm not overweight but I feel like it may have contributed to the severe acid reflux I experience now as an adult.
I’m a DBRE, which means it’s somehow always my fault until proven otherwise. And even then, it’s usually on me to work around the insane schema dreamt up by the devs.

Multi-tenant DBs can work fine as long as every app has its own users, everyone goes through a connection pooler / load balancer, and every user has rate limits. You want to write shitty queries that time out? Not my problem. Your GraphQL BFF bullshit is trying to make 10,000 QPS? Nope, sorry, try again later.

EDIT: I say “not my problem,” but as mentioned, it inevitably becomes my problem. Because “just unblock them so the site is functional” is far more attractive to the C-Suite than “slow down velocity to ensure the dev teams are doing things right.”
> The point of C++ is performance. If you don't need performance, why not just use Java or Python, why use Rust?

As a counterpoint, I also don't need to use `Rc` or `Arc` in Rust, and I can get by without reference counting. Why use C++?
well if their "developing" you should prepare for an eventuality, but it is as over as a flying partridge is ready for dinner
The UK needed to regulate its way to being one of the greenest countries on the planet, forcing everyone to make the necessary sacrifices.
But it is what you are saying, you pay the 'normal' prices with cash for not being tracked. Otherwise you use loyalty cards to fish for discounts and being tracked
When I was writing a game engine and doing a multithreaded resource loading system using job queues, I was concerned about TLB shootdowns, but was unable to really experience the issues with them.

I tried both regular IO and mmap and was unable to make regular IO as fast as mmap.

This is on a machine with 32 real cores running 64 job threads, saturating all of them with jobs. The jobs are a mixture of small (metadata) and big (textures and models) files. In theory, this should be a pretty bad situation for the TLB shootdown, and I was concerned about them.

But in reality it seemed to be fine, and a fair amount faster than with regular IO due to being able to have one less extra copy of the data.
There's no good explanation beacause fibre doesn't 'cancel out' sugar.

Bad schema decisions are made regardless of whether you’re one database or 50. At least with many databases the problems are localized.
I also used to believe in OK-ish to Good Pens but cheap notebooks punctuated with the usual Moleskin, Field Notes, etc. Then I tried some of those Japanese ones -- they are super good and you don't wanna waste and leave no whitespace -- you write and write everywhere.

You should try Midori https://www.midori-japan.co.jp/english/

Now, my idea it to stick to a standard size wherever possible; I've chosen A5 as my go-to Notebook and a mix of a lot of good ones and a few of the best ones.

>> So you are certainly aware that there are avenues to creating the data set. Given that, it is quite reasonable to say that search is unnecessary.

How is it unnecessary? They used none of those methods, so they had to use search. That is search being necessary, not the opposite.
They're not asking for a timeline-- they want to know what you consider the seminal experiences in your life that make you the way you are.

You aren't part of the Excel gang so you don't get it. There is a level of Excel user that is in fact a special type of human. Quant traders and accountants for example. They are very hot key dependent and the speed at which they do things in Excel is superhuman and would make you rethink SQL queries. You try to take their Excel from them and there would nothing less than a revolt.

i don’t think most adults, let alone kids, know what the “serving” is. They just don’t look at the nutrition label. Or they don’t care.

I’d bet most kids have 2-3 servings of juice without realizing it. The serving size is usually tiny. That’s not counting all the other junk they might eat in a single day, like cereal.
I also think the Safari is just a very cool looking pen. I haven't really gotten into writing with fountain pens much as of yet, but I saw a Safari in a store and bought it based on looks alone.
Largely agree with you, but also wonder if this is something that will change with time. 30 years from now, maybe the big streamers start to drop license deals for older music that few listen to.
Previously: Spend $60k to save $200/month
Now: Spend $60k to save $100/month

Break even would then be much further in to the future.

Solar is a large capital expenditure, and this change reduces the return on that investment.
You use Rust if you want performance (especially because there is no garbage collection), and strong safety guarantees.

If you don’t care about safety guarantees and abstractions like shared_ptr, you might just as well use C instead of C++.
I remember in school, we would buy these super cheap fountain pens. And then as they started to break down, starting combining them. Take the good nib from one pen and put it on the pen with a unbroken body. Get the cap from some other pen, etc. Quite a lot of fun.
I agree with the “writing it down, makes the idea more clearer and helps understand things better.” This is one of the life-lessons that I want to and try to teach my kids -- write it down, even if you are just copying, write down your thoughts -- then copying later to your digital notes is OK.

Many a lot don't appreciate the power of hand-writing with a simple pen on a paper; it is a super power.

And yes, love the Muji too. I bought a few, just in case. I think, I'm starting to collect.
If you get paid for playing with a toy, and you do not get paid for other things, then that puts rather a different face on it.
UNION is certainly one way to eliminate the OR condition.

In theory, a hash join is possible with a condition like `ON t1.a = t2.a OR t1.b = t2.b`, but Hash Join would need to build two hash tables and only probe the 2nd one if the first lookup found nothing. I don't know if there are any RDBMSs that allow multiple hash tables in a hash join.
You'll need to pivot or adapt in some way, you saw a gap they saw it too.

That they validated your idea is kind of still an unproven, since they are selling it as ancillary to their service whereas it is primary to yours. If it cant work on its own its not a product on its own.
In Go, capitalized identifiers are exported, whereas lowercase identifiers are not.

In the example I gave above, clients outside of the package can instantiate Username, but they can't access its "value" member, so the only way they could get a populated Username instance is by calling NewUsername.
I was surprised to note that 100% fruit juice, Coca-Cola and fruit mousse for toddlers all contain approximately the same amount of sugar(s) - ~10% by weight.

The worst offender in my cupboard is a mousse by HiPP (a brand that supposedly focuses on quality) - 12,6%. Weirdly, a juice box from the same manufacturer has just 3,7%.

In any case, except for the juice box, that's a lot of sugar.
I agree we seem intent on crippling ourselves, but the inverse move would likely be better, which is give tax credits for hiring US citizens on US soil that offset any savings they'd get by hiring out of the US.

If you run the numbers, you can adjust individual income tax upward marginally across brackets to account for shortfalls, and it will be far less complicated to implement and enforce.

This gives an incentive to keep the dollars domestic vs abroad.

You may even want to give some additional tax incentives for companies that close their foreign offices to re-open them in the US. This would be similar to a scheme that helped with bringing some manufacturing back from overseas
But then the DB Team – if you have one – is responsible for 50 databases, each full of their own unique problems.

This will undoubtedly go over poorly, but honestly I think every data decision should be gated through the DB Team (again, if you have them). Your proposed schema isn’t normalized? Straight to jail. You don’t want to learn SQL? Also straight to jail. You want to use a UUIDv4 as a primary key? Believe it or not, jail.

The most performant and referentially sound app in the world, because of jail.

Showed a young kid (I think the machine was older than him) an old Gateway G6-300 machine from 1999. Pentium 2 300MHz, 128MB SDRAM, 5GB hdd, Win98 FE, with over 3.5 GB free. I'm more a hardware than software person so the main draw for me was the unknown (to me) Chromatic Research Mpact AGP onboard graphics.

Even if others disagree with your endorsements or regrets, this record shows you're actually aware of the important decisions you made over the past four years and tracked outcomes. Did you record the decisions when you made them and revisit later?
You need to factor in all pros and cons in order to arrive at a net positive or negative in the first place.

I was actually thinking about the Apollo computers. We assisted man on landing the moon with a micro fraction of we have today. And flawlessly!

The problem is that pattern "fails open." If anyone on the team forgets to define an untrusted string as UnvalidatedString, the data skips validation.

If you default to treating primitive types as untrusted, it's hard for someone to accidentally convert an untrusted type to a trusted type without using the correct parse method.

fentanyl also has value, but it also kills (unnecessarily) more 18-45 year olds than anything else (USA). Just because people pay for something doesn't mean it's not something that shouldn't taken off the market for the betterment of society. I consider bitcoin in that same area.
This. We were supposed to hire a junior dev to help me build out a new app. I'm moving so fast using copilot we just forgot about it.

I'm putting out a complex product at break-neck speed using frameworks and tech I was barely familiar with when I started.

This is not a good time to be a grad or junior dev, or a search engine.
This is so strange to me.

I'm hoping because Quanta's explanation was approachable, but ultimately, wrong when I try applying it the following way:

Theorists will spend an enormous amount of time developing algorithms that are O(kNlog(N)) that are impractical in practice because

- K approximates infinity

- It is well-known K approximates infinity.

- It is not expected for K to decrease.
Yeah it feels like for some arbitrarily sized array contains join having something like a bloom filter involved could help reduce the search space. But I’m not a db engineer so perhaps the specific implementation details of that would turn out to make it a bad idea.
