This seems like one of those things that we think might exist because it's something we can think of right now. But in the future the idea of building structures like this might seem like a huge waste of resources or have some other problem.

I mean, they were part of the PRISM program, so they must share some data with the government that is not known to the public.

Besides, that article talks about push notification data. I was referring to their refusal to decrypt phone data for the FBI[1]. How much of that was done for self-serving purposes, and how much they actually cooperated, will likely never be known publicly.

If there was a valid reason to write software that efficiently, besides idealism, I'm sure developers would do so. But there isn't in the vast majority of cases, so we don't. iow computing resources are cheaper than labor.
golden-ratio is very convenient. I also split the frame to two windows at most, and most of the times i focus on one window, and the other window takes just 25% of the screen space.

What i have not found a solution yet, is when one window is expanded to 75% of space, then it collapses to 25%, the notes i wanted to focus on get moved up or down. After some trial and error i put my cursor somewhere downward not far from the text i want to be displayed, and most of the time it gets displayed after collapsing the space.

I have yet to figure out how to select a region, and golden ratio keep that in display after rebalancing.

I think it's caused by the nature of how most companies scale their productivity up, which is by adding more people and creating more teams. As a result the codebase for any given product starts to reflect this organizational structure.

For example, a bank app might have a team for user management, and another team for product management. Then in the bank app, the designers added one module for selecting products on one page, and another module for selecting users on another page... and even though at the implementation level, these two modules are essentially the sam, they are implemented separately, as there is a lot of overhead in communication to have both teams implement one that handles both requirements.

I think this phenomenon guarantees that as codebases grow they accumulate tech debt. As more and more people develop on one application proper global abstractions that would be more efficient are not as common because of how the teams are structured in a way that is not aligned with this abstraction and instead is aligned with how the business side decides to structure teams.

I think it is born from a fundamental misconception of how software should scale as you add more and more features, and typically companies favor adding more people instead of asking their engineers to do the scaling using the software itself. Within a certain domain, there is very little reason not to abstract the implementation of features themselves, which would scale the application just by adding a few lines in a configuration file. Then a single engineer can be developing multiple features in the same amount of time an entire team completes only one. This might just be a blind side of someone who has not studied computer science theory, and instead thinks that if you want more software you need more people.

Those are orthogonal; Debian is free, Windows is paid, guess which one spies on you and shows you ads?
Sigh, as always in tech, the answer to "is soft delete appropriate" is - "it depends".

Do you want to support reversible deletion in the business logic sense? Soft delete is a trivial way to do this.

Do you want to support business logic deletion in a normalised schema while retaining other records that relate to that entity for auditing requirements? Probably worth looking into soft delete first.

Of course at large entity counts, soft delete can impact performance, but that's usually a rather large entity count, and then you can start considering approaches like a delete log or denormalisation.

Afraid of throwing away data you worry you might need later but don't have an existing use case for right now? There are better ways to data hoard, and you should regularly analyse how often that hoarded data is actually accessed before your data lake turns into a data swamp.
Fun facts, in addition to sine and cosine calculation and generation, CORDIC can also be used for many operations including log, exponent, square root, vector magnitude, polar-cartesian conversion and vector rotation. Spoiler alerts, the authors provided the teaser regarding these propects in the conclusions.

I've got the feeling that by using quaternion instead of conventional orthonormal matrices, CORDIC based operations can be executed more efficiently (less compute cycles and memory) and effectively (less errors) [1].

I tried to get good at fpses back in the day but never did.

I was however making decent progress at learning an instrument at the time (the French horn, if you must know) and thought there should be some sort of tool to learn the fundamentals of first-person video game shooting using time honored music practice techniques.

The key to getting really killer music technique is to go as smoothly and calmly as possible, over and over again, even if that means going at a fraction of the target speed.

I would have liked to see an fps trainer that lets you practice shots at anywhere from 1/5th to 1x game speed, so you could master it at very slow speeds and gradually up the "tempo".

(There are some very good trainer programs now in AD 2024, but none that I know of that let you manipulate speed like that.)
Trying to get into the clubs is enough.
Yeah, before breaking out Debezium, Kafka Connect and S3, consider soft delete first. It might not scale, but maybe you don't need to scale just yet, and maybe a column called is_deleted is far more appropriate and far less complex for your current purposes.
It can be extended to arbitrary Lie groups IIRC
For example right now I have Gnome configured to scale the UI by a factor of 200%, which means that my display will fit only a quarter as many UI elements (e.g., letters of the alphabet, icons) as it would if I ran at a scaling factor of 100%.

(I'm not using a HiDPI monitor, just a 1080p one.)

The other difference is that chess is a 1v1 game: the only person you can blame if you lose is yourself.

Counterstrike is a team game, where (if the matchmaker was competetently designed) on average you shouldn't be able to carry your team. I think this contributes to a lot of toxicity, because it's very easy to find a cause for the loss that isn't your own skill.

Imagine a team match of chess where everyone controls a couple pieces. At low brackets, you could know "tech" like en passant or underpromotion. You might have vague ideas like "control the center" and might know a few lines of theory. You might be screaming at the screen when a teammate castles into mate-in-3 and blame them for your loss - even though you were the one who moved a pawn to h3 on turn 1.

The same reasoning applies though. The compiler is just another program. Outside of doing constant folding on things that are unspec'ed or not required (like mmsqrtps and most transcendentals), you should get consistent results even between architectures.

Of course the specific line linked to in that GH issue is showing that LLVM will attempt constant folding of various trig functions:

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/faa43a80f70c639f40...

but the IEEE-754 spec does also recommend correctly rounded results for those (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754#Recommended_operation...).

The majority of code I'm talking about though uses constants that are some long, explicit number, and doesn't do any math on them that would then be amenable to constant folding itself.

That said, lines like:

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/faa43a80f70c639f40...

are more worrying, since that may differ from what people expect dynamically (though the underlying stuff supports different denormal rules).

Either way, thanks for highlighting this! Clearly the answer is to just use LLVM/clang regardless of backend :).

Excited to share my first English short story here .

As some of you might know , I have been writing short stories on my native language (#tamil) for a few years now and published a few short story collections etc!

Writing on my native language never really presented a problem as it was my first language. But I hesitated a lot in writing in a second language. Main reason being my lack of reading on English literature. so I took my time to write this one out ..

do read and let me know your comments and as all the rookies say - " go easy on me "

The standards have gone up a lot over time. Your average player now knows who the tops teams are and watches them play. Vastly different from the early 2000s when just knowing to aim at heads set you apart.

Even to be a top 10% player these days you need to either be a veteran or to practice for long hours.

Must be hell for anyone new who wants to try the game!
Ah, I guess I never looked at dead comments.
How to Load-Test Anything
This is neat but rather than this mouse interaction, I wish there is support in the simulator to translate linear mouse motion into circular crank motion, or absolute mouse position into absolute crank position. It would make it easier to debug games that require precise crank movements.
That is... I don't even know how to understand this.

People just stand around the tables were? Are they ok with this? Does it fit more people?
I love Erlang and BEAM, but the reason the GC is (mostly) cheap is because self-referential data structures are impossible, so you can have a very simple and yet still very effective GC. One heap per process also helps immensely.

Also, when your process has a giant heap, the GC gets expensive. There's been lots of improvement over the years, but I used to have processes that could usually go through N messages/sec, but if they ever got a backlog, the throughput would drop, and that would tend towards more backlog and even less throughput, and pretty soon it will never catch up.

That sometimes happens with other GC systems, but it never feels quite so dire.

There's definitely many, many different sounds of snow and ice based on temperature, and probably humidity, pressure, etc. Or what those conditions were 2 days ago when the snow fell, what they were yesterday, and what they are now.

'If you drive a luxury car, it is almost certainly to create the envy of those (like me) who drive a cheap Honda. Or to lessen the envy you feel with respect to those who drive luxury cars.'

I drive a Honda Accord and notice that my wife's Toyota Highlander provides a much smoother ride. Luxury cars are higher in quality than cheaper cars, and one should not assume that people buy them primarily to induce envy in others.

I like this visualization, but it got me thinking about how we often portray the universe in media. It seems like we always end up with the same message: 'Look how small and insignificant we are.' It's like we're drawn to the idea that our existence is just a tiny blip on the universe's radar.I think this perspective is a bit one-dimensional. It seems almost nihilistic.

I‘d say I‘m very proficient with FPS games. I also got to Global Elite in CS:GO. My take is that you mainly need two things, map awareness and aim. The first can only be acquired by playing A LOT. The latter too but the time it takes by playing gamemodes line Free For All Deathmatch where you get to practice the shooting aspect very frequently.

If taken seriously I‘m confident a player can get proficient within 500-800 hours of playtime. That sounds like a lot but with daily practice/playing ofr 1-2 hours its not that big of a deal.

It's an approach I've seen before that can work nicely - often when you want to retain records for auditing/compliance purposes that refer to a deleted entity.

But I'd usually consider soft delete alongside this approach,
as it always really depends on what you're doing and what your needs are - if you constantly query the dependent records joined to the entity you may or may not delete, then a deleted entity table means you now need to left join two tables when before you could inner join one table. So soft delete might be simpler.

But if that's a rare use case, then soft delete might be more complex depending on how many separate codepaths are querying the primary entity.

My next blog post should be called "It depends - avoiding the overly broad generalisations anti-pattern".

underpowered compared to what is meant by "cluster" or "GHz"
I'd like to think I have some domain knowledge here[0]. So here's my two cents: there is no performance-based stat that will tell you if you're good. Rank is the only thing that matters.

There are however a lot stats that can tell you if you're good amongst your peers in your current rank.

The idea is that once your rank converges with your skill, your stats will trend towards the median.

But the good news is, most players are interested in exactly that. They want to know how they're performing compared to players of a similar rank.

This was the basis for our[1] Tracker Score performance rating, which grades player performance relative to players at their level (so both an Iron and a Radiant player can have similar ratings.)

As opposed to event sourcing, which every time I've seen it in use, contains a bug ridden slow implementation of event sourcing.

Interesting looking book. I'll have to check it out. In my experience, discussing this material online tends to devolve into an atheist/theist debate. Both sides are very sure of themselves and it isn't about exploration and curiosity so it tends to turn off us more agnostic-minded people (or just those both open to abiogensis as well as other creative possibilities).

One issue is that the permissions are hard to understand.

The end user doesn’t know, like, what bus-xyz or a socket is and if this app needs it!

The apps have to be shipped in restricted mode, and ask user-understandable permissions. Basically, like phones.
