RocksDB supports point query and range query. This only supports point query. Also I'm not sure whether FASTER supports transaction, as the paper didn't mention it.
It's not so simple. There were previous articles posted on here months ago basically saying that the building standards are much higher in the United States in terms of permits and certifications and that is what is slowing things down. Sectors are heavily regulated in the United States which comes with a very high price tag, however, they are often done for the right reasons.

If American workers are expected to follow the rules but other countries have less strict rules with different tradeoffs, maybe the regulations need to be examined.
We don't have to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. He has a pretty established track record of being a fully malevolent force in American society, and to the extent I think about that guy at all it would be trying to figure out how to get him as far away from power and influence as possible.

Do you perceive Rust programmers as extraordinary?
Making a machine to automagically remove a tiny bit of material and image the result over and over would be easy for me. The image processing to take the stack of 3D sequential images and automagically process them into a netlist is well beyond my programming capabilities. If anyone thinks they could do this, contact me.

Also funny if you think like: quietly! Not like here, first shouting out loud and announcing and promising whatsoever.. and then later see what's really delivered? :D

This isn't correct. What you may be remembering is that some (not all) NP complete problems have limits on how accurately they can be approximated (unless P = NP). But approximation algorithms for NP complete problems form a whole subfield of CS.
In Ruby:

42.fizzBuzz

can return 'Fizz' because you can make 42 a method of the Integer object because Ruby is like Smalltalk. Most languages won't let you do that, and if they do, they make it difficult.

I'm not saying that's what you want to do. But Ruby on Rails uses that technique to modify the MethodMissing method of its objects. This makes it practical to implement the behaviors that make Ruby on Rails productive for many users.

Yes modifying objects might be a footgun. But if you want the architecture of Ruby on Rails, using another language might be a worse footgun. Or not, it's your code.
Idk if I'd say most, but there's definitely a bunch.

I assume I'm missing that this a joke, it's honestly hard for me to tell.

But in the conclusion, the author talks about actually making this work by providing a context object to hold all of the intermediate state and providing this context object to the callee.

Once this is required, how does this approach compare to simply using an external iterator?

Seems to me like an iterator solves the lion's share of the problem here. It moves the state into the caller's stack (or above them), it's easy to understand, simple to implement and doesn't involve unenclosed and context-dependent macros.
Healthcare being outrageously expensive in the US and being borne largely by employers doesn’t seem to help either. Ironically, I see it as a negative for the employees as well since it forces them to be dependent on their employer in the event of a medical situation.
Sure! Here's what I do to add an expense from my phone:

1. Open the Drafts App on my iPhone.

2. Type "lfood", which triggers TextExpander with my ledger food expense snippet [1]. I make use of the TextExpander fill-ins feature [2] to automatically set the current date and to give me a list of dropdowns that I can use to change the account, but usually I just leave the default and only fill in the expense amount.

3. Enter the expense amount, select the credit card that I used from a dropdown if it's different from the default.

4. Trigger the 'Save to Ledger' action [3] that I created within the Drafts app [4], which appends the ledger entry to my ledger file on Dropbox.

I created a short gif [5] showing this entire process in action.

This is where I actually pick up a loudspeaker. How many of these people did and do you know? My uncle and his wife from UP certainly did (and she was a Communist from a Khaksar family [yes, she went to SMU and Smith and then Germany for higher ed but that’s a consequence of already existing attitudes]!) I had relatives forced to flee for their lives for being Ahmedi in Pakistan. Maybe you should talk to some people for whom this is actually a life and death issue.

First it was longformer, and linear attention models. Then it was RWKV and now it's Mamba. So many bombastic claims of improved architectural performance - and no open source models that beat the thing they purport to beat.

You're suppose to write them together, at the same time. What's slower is spending all of your time mousing around the GUI like a caveman and then having missing tests and then trying to debug every future recurring regression forever the rest of the project's lifespan.

The only thing that's slower is perhaps trying to do TDD for the first time. After that, you're embarrassed at how much time you wasted wandering in a browser before your API tests were finished.

> Could you not fit every phone accessory ever made on a single cargo ship

Why do you focus attention only on the phone accessories? But even if we do focus on it:

there were not a one big single cargo ship what moved them, there was a lot of trucks, trains, ships what were involved in bringing the raw materials, bringing the processed materials to the factories, from the factories to the warehouses, from the warehouses to the docks and depots, from the docks and depots to the warehouses again, to the shops, from the shops to the garbage piles.

Everything in the process generated some pollution which ended up futile. And while some of it can be somewhat negated, ie it was only 1 ISO container from the hundreds on the supercargo ship - but again, that container could be with something more useful than a phone cases what nobody would buy.

And yes, this is not only about phone, smartphone and computer accessories. There is a lot of shit what is made and ends up in the garbage pile. Clothes, kitchen and other consumer appliances, plastic shit for everything, Christmas decorations, automobile parts... the list is long.

"for the right reason"

When companies have a choice to build in other countries then import product into the US, they will do that cost benefit analysis. If a country overly regulates and industry, it will just be made elsewhere.

When politicians pass laws that just cause jobs to be outsourced so they can say they are doing "the right thing" but not attempt to force other countries to follow, all you are doing is virtue signalling and killing jobs.
We got Hawaii catalyzed by a trade war with China in the 1890s, American entrepreneurs in Hawaii relied on exports to US and China, but both countries had put tariffs on anything outside their unions, something solved magically if one were within one of the unions so Dole chose to run a coup de tat in Hawaii with the US Navy stationed there and even though the current US President was very annoyed and appalled by this, his term ran out and the next guy said Dole could run it

What I mean is, if you ask a human to solve a travelling salesman problem and they find it too hard to solve exactly, they will still be able to come up with a better than average solution. This is what I called approximation (but maybe this is incorrect?).

Hallucination would be to choose a random solution and claim that it's the optimum.

I think there are multiple phases of a product. At one end, you have a startup still searching for product market fit. You shouldn't have a design systems team in such an organization. Consistency doesn't matter because you might only have one instance of many design elements.

However, would you feel the same if you were using Kayak and each page had a separate set of components? How would it feel if Slack had different dropdowns on their direct messages page than their channels? At some point, your users expect standardization and consistency, and you don't need every team deciding their buttons will be slightly different sizes and colors because of the team designer's tastes.

It really is a spectrum; as your product matures and your brand identity finds success, the advice of the article becomes more and more important.

Coroutines are fun, but in real code please consider using actual threads. Modern processors have many cores, but coroutines will (often) only use a single core.

Edit to add: This is a real world problem too. Until recently qemu, which extensively uses coroutines, would put a lot of its block device I/O through a single thread. This caused some performance issues. Kevin Wolf and others have spent years of effort fixing this so modern qemu will use many threads for I/O (this work will appear in RHEL 9.4).
CPAC is not there "to welcome all". From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_Political_Action_...:

EDIT: as well as

I'm going off the assumption that you're an average-ish suburban american, so if you're not that, then this doesn't count...

Cars use fossil fuels to run, and rare metals to be manufactured. These are inherently limited, thereby making our lifestyle unsustainable already (I say "our" because I am also an average-ish suburban american).

Phones, computers, tablets, etc. etc. use rare metals in production, and last a relatively short period (5 years if you're lucky, at least ime). Also unsustainable.

A lot of electricity is generated using fossil fuels.

Many foods (not just meat - a lot of fruits and vegetables too) are produced in an unsustainable way. This is not to say they cannot be produced sustainably, but commonly they are not. As an example, factory farms harvesting beef are terrible for the environment, the cows, and your health. Many vegetable farms use fertilizers that are bad for the environment, but arguably necessary to sustain enough food for the human population.

Luckily, you don't need to walk around naked and sleep in a cave. You can reduce your negative impact on the world and disconnect from a lot of the unsustainable practices and systems we have in modern society by buying your own property and living mostly off-grid (i.e., generating your own solar electricity, growing your own food, etc.). You don't even have to give up running water or the internet! The benefits snowball if you do this as a community, too.

While many aspects of this lifestyle are still unsustainable (for example, solar panels need rare metals), it is _much more_ sustainable than the de-facto standard of society we have today.

Now I'm not saying that you (or anyone) should feel morally obligated to do something like this - it's not a possibility for many people, for one reason or another. However, the more people who do it, the better!
Which is more expensive for an employer? US healthcare or EU workers' rights that include 25+ paid vacation days, unlimited paid sick leave, difficult to fire, etc while American workers don't, but get bigger wages instead?

I don't know the exact answer, but what I'm trying to say is that there's no free lunch for employers in either location, but I'm pretty sure they do their homework on this and they know the exact answer when they decided to open up shop somewhere.
> I see no evidence that UNRWA is the one trying to maintain the status quo.

You are one of the rare few. UNRWA is losing funding precisely because this evidence exists and is compelling.

UNRWA could not have been ignorant of the terror tunnels beneath its HQ. UNRWA school curriculum has taught anti-Israel rhetoric to children for decades. UNRWA telegram channel promoting and celebrating terror attacks. Not to mention Hamas employees working at UNWRA.

This is all beside the main point of the number of Palestian refugees ballooning from 500K in 1948 to 5.6 million today.

> I think it's quite obvious that if a peaceful solution were found in Israel and Palestine, the UNRWA would very quickly wind down its operations.

Indeed. That + Shirky's Principle goes far to explain UNWRA's behavior.

But that is the thing - unless you study some specific place and time, all these are guesses. Because there were periods of rich where people married a lot ... and then there were periods and places where many people were single and unable to marry for various reasons.
