There has been a change. The traditional supporters of reunification are outdated.

The original Irish nationalists would not want a weaker national identity but a stronger one through unification. I've heard that the older supporters feel that something has been compromised. I'm not saying older supporters are racist - rather that the ideals they have of an Irish people and nationhood are not being promoted by their previous political champions. The people hold outdated views. Newer adopted ideals of immigration and open borders are perceived to be more important than campaigning with these older ideals for reunification which many consider to be at odds with each other in some ways.

My impression is that their old views are comfortably dissolving away than being actively or angrily being fought for which leads to less enthusiasm about the issue. The notion of what Ireland is to them is less important now. They have more peace with a corresponding weakening of the Cause.

Many modern people today consider the very notion of national identity as outdated and troublesome. From Ukraine to Palestine, its based on the thorny issue of nation and people. The Troubles were based on the issue of nation and people.
That's not necessarily true, on JIT vs AOT split. I'm mostly going off of how the divergence in available optimization is starting to look like in .NET after introduction of Native AOT with light research into LLVM and various optimization-adjacent Rust crates.

In particular, with JIT, you are able to initialize certain readonly data once, and then, on recompilation to a more optimized version, bake such data as JIT constants right into emitted machine code. This is not possible with AOT. Same applies for all kinds of in-runtime profiling/analysis and recompilation to incorporate a collected profile according to this exact run of an application. JIT also offers the ability to load modules dynamically in the form of bytecode without having to have a strict machine-level ABI, only the bytecode one, which allows for efficient generics that cross modules, as well as cross-module function inlining. And last but not least - there is no need to pick the least common denominator in supported hardware features as the code can be compiled to use the latest features provided by hardware like AVX512.

On the other hand, pure AOT means a frozen world which allows the compiler to know exact types and paths the code can take, performing exact devirtualization and much more aggressive preinitialization on code that accepts constant data. It also means bigger leeway in the time the compiler can spend on optimizing code. Historically, GCC and LLVM have been more advanced than their JIT counterparts because of different tradeoffs more favouring to absolute performance of the emitted code as well as simply higher amount of man hours invested in developing them (e.g. .NET punches above it's weight class despite being worked on by a smaller team vs OpenJDK or LLVM).
There‘s an excellent book that I used to read as a kid by Peter Connolly on the topic. Based on the life of Tiberius Maximus, a real life legionary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius_Claudius_Maximus

Sounds very reasonable. In the blog post about 20s were shaved off by assuming we don't need complicated string parsing. An of the shelf library can't make that assumption so they will always have to pay the extra cost.
People seem to have lost all understandings of boundaries.

Bunch of people suing Apple because they don't like how their iPhones back up to iCloud is an equivalent of a child throwing tantrums because their favourite toy won't accept other batteries it wasn't designed for.

It's not like Apple put a gun to anyone's head to force them to buy iPhones and Apple has been clear about how their devices work from the get-go. If people are salty about how iPhones work, they should choose to buy other devices or pound sand. Because, some people actually like how their iDevices work with the closed-loop integrations it offers.

In the book "Masters of doom", at least during the doom era, Carmack seemed like a really bad collegue. Very, very demanding and complete lack of social tact. The book gave the impression that he wanted everyone to be as commited as him, and his commitment was extreme.

Obviously this was a few decades ago.

Originally, there was no separate "player" version of Hypercard, so the stack editing/development tools were universally available. The Hypercard player appeared as a separate thing after Clarus took over as Apple's software distribution arm.

Typing "magic" in the message box of the Hypercard player converted it into a full version of Hypercard.
Exactly. The thing is, most people don’t have any problem with the existence of the police, which is why the “defund” message does not work well in practice. Most people understand that mechanisms to limit crime are useful. The problem is when the role of the police is not to do that, but instead enforce prejudice, harm and harass specific categories of people.
The users attention is a infinite Ressource and the great cope out of all security. Do your jobs, stop being lazy, is not something you can yell at the user, when you turn their days into endless amounts of legal busy work.

“Snapping is not new, but it is newly resurgent,” said Daniel Gallant, the executive director of Nuyorican Poets Cafe on the Lower East Side. The practice, he said, dates to the heyday of the beatnik poets, who would gather in coffeehouses and at hootenannies to perform poems laced with cultural rebellion and political activism. (It has also long been popular in bastions of counter-counterculture: sorority houses. Some historians say snapping was used in the days of the Roman Empire as well.)

Apple has lost all understanding of boundaries. Just because they make a pretty phone with a good camera, they shouldn't be allowed to dictate literally every other aspect of one's digital life.

Your car doesn't limit which brand of tires you buy or which streets you take. Your TV doesn't limit what channels you watch. Why should your phone be any different?
If future satellites have fold out antennas that are 45 meters diameter, spot sizes of half a mile are possible. With that, service will make sense everywhere except urban areas.

45 meter fold out antennas are very possible. Imagine you screen print antenna wires onto a mylar sheet, then double up the sheet and seal the edges to make it like a large airbed. Then, when in space, inflate it.
Actually I don’t really see the problem as long as there is a free competitor (Android). Just boycott Ford/Ikea in these cases and don’t buy their products. It only becomes a problem if everyone does this, the question is if you want to stop it at the start and prevent anyone from doing this, or if you want to allow it until it becomes a problem

The first time I got an email from Facebook I thought it was a scam- because they don’t send their emails from Facebook.com they send them all through Facebookmail.com

You're essentially calling this person a liar for sharing an anecdote.

Why is this even a matter of belief, what makes you uncomfortable about it?

With a modicum of effort you can indeed corroborate that this happened - I hope you do so - but I'm more curios about the knee jerk reaction.

You clearly don't want it to be real and simultanously you left open the possibility that it is a thing you aren't familiar with. But first and foremost you called him a liar. This is worthy of further rumination.

My guess: If you run the benchmark several times, the OS will cache the file in RAM.
If that is faster would seem to depend on if you can get most lookups from the L2 cache. Otherwise you're waiting for main memory, which is a few hundred cycles. Even with multiple loads in parallel, it would be hard to beat arithmetic.

Why would they contract this out to Cognizant? I would have guessed that their music streaming service would have been a priority for them, and something they would want to do in-house with well payed employees?

What am I missing here?
Benchmarking this gets tricky once you realize that the file might be entirely cached if the computer has enough RAM.
This is just 5 paras of excuses for not testing squat.
A few months ago, I had to quickly bang out a script to output about 20 million lines of text, each the output of a hash function. My naive solution took more than a few minutes - simple optimizations such as writing every 10k lines cut the time significantly. Threading would have helped quite a bit as well.
that might be a sustained single threaded read performance.

What if the method of access was concurrent from different parts of the file, and was operating system cached?
Ha ha. A more realistic worry is that you could sneeze and kill everyone you love with whatever gave you runny nose.

Which is why you take your course of antibiotics to the end, because superbugs are a thing.

Interesting as Canada's system only works on LTE or higher (we still have 3G here).

I camped on 3G for a while because they kept sending out Amber Alerts at the "Presidential" level for custody disputes. Gov repeatedly denied any issue but haven't sent any for a while. Either people stopped "abducting" their own kids or they changed their threshold-to-blast.

Sorry to nitpick on this tangential detail, but what does “reduced sentence” entail? On paper it sounds like many people would rather take the secret to their graves.
Until you are forced to explain exactly how your helper algorithm came to that conclusion, explaining the logic and calculations step by step in easy to understand language... (With the "I can't" not being an acceptable answer.)
This feels like a bad ancedote

A) kind of sounds like a toxic work environment

B) this is a bad way to reason about performance without knowing more. Is this actually a bottleneck? Would the heroic effort be better spent saving minutes elsewhere where its easy to save time instead of saving seconds during boot where its hard to save time and users encounter relatively rarely? Optimizing boot might be the right call but it also might not be.

Anything can be optimized. The real trick is to optimize your optimization so you optimize the right thing to get the most improvement possible as you are almost always limited by the amount of time you can spend optimizing so you can't do it all. Picking a component at random is a terrible way of doing optimization.

This is why I can't watch him anymore. He has really painted himself into a corner and allowed this to become an obsession. He would have been happier if he had just given it the three months he initially thought the MMX project would take, and when that got out of hand cut his losses and dumped the project. He's a good composer and musician. He has hardly made any music for years and his band members are probably not going to wait around.

Sure, he might actually get there in the end, but at what cost? Both monetary and in terms of mental health.

Yeah, it has been fascinating, I've learned a lot from watching him, and I really want him to succeed, but this is painful to watch.

Instead of hash table I'd try sort of "eager" trie inside stack allocated memory. So I can find the slot for the stats of given station after parsing minimal number of characters that differentiate this station from others.

Isn't the term people are clutching for "lawlessness"

If anything defines the current epoch it is "post-legal".

For example, massive fines, now in the billions of dollars, pay
superficial lip-service to laws, but for mega-corps are simply the
cost of doing business.

The irony of course is that giant monopolies exist only because the
protection the rule of law bestows allows that. They are _very_
vulnerable. If we interpret "take on monopolies" using their own
rules, they'd be hacked off the grid in weeks if not days.
Enumeration might be endless, which sounds hard, so perhaps we should make a statistical model that generalises over all know examples and gives us the ability to forecast new and not-yet-known cases? :P
