That's just a rude thing to say. If you all coded like him you wouldn't be having the discussion.

The issue is when you have people who do not code with efficiency in mind, and someone who does think about those things reviews the code.

Most efficiency gains are probably marginal and not that impactful. So you're probably OK ignoring it. And it's true that bringing such things up during code review and then going back and changing it will take more time.

But if people wrote the code with efficiency in mind to begin with they likely wouldn't be spending much more (if any) time while writing the code. Just have to use their brains a lil.
Sure, the stack as storage never shrinks, but it's constantly reused for different kinds of objects. Having said that dynamic memory is also rarely given back to the OS, and you are lucky to get a segfault from a use-after-free there too. This is not the problem.

The problem is accessing objects that are outside of their lifetime, not storage. The objects are gone, even if the storage might still be there.

I tried this the other day, I wasn't able to "use front" (mapped to CTRL key, which works for some things, but not others). I downloaded MAME for my computer and the Cat ROMS so I could use it without triggering a new browser window (among other problems).

When I went to use it in MAME proper, it popped up a big red warning that the port was incomplete and to expect problems. Unfortunately, they weren't kidding. I could type maybe a paragraph before the emulation hung (sometimes with the speaker activated, which was... nice). The "leap" keys worked enough to show that they could be a powerful way to get around a file.

So, yes, you can start it up and see the credit screen, but (for me at least) it's not a proper emulation. It would be interesting if some of the "distraction free" writing "appliances" like the upcoming BYOK or Alpha-Smart replacements would do something like this -- they all seem to consider features that can make review/revision pleasant to be outside their "distraction-free" mission.

Hi!

I am one of the maintainers of https://opensource.zalando.com/skipper http proxy library, which can support similar cases. We use this at Zalando https://www.zalando.com/ in Kubernetes and allow developers to connect to different kind of data applications including chat based LLMs or notebooks. We have of course OTel/Opentracing support https://opensource.zalando.com/skipper/operation/operation/#....

Likely the comparison with lb algorithms round robin and least connections is not a fair choice. Better would be to compare with consistent hash, that naturally does stateful load balancing. In skipper you can tune the behavior by filters https://opensource.zalando.com/skipper/reference/filters/#co... and https://opensource.zalando.com/skipper/reference/filters/#co... per route.

You don't want auto scaling? You can also limit concurrent requests to a route with queue support and make sure backends are not overloaded using scheduler filters https://opensource.zalando.com/skipper/reference/filters/#sc....

If you need more you can also help yourself and use lua filters to influence these options https://opensource.zalando.com/skipper/reference/scripts/ .

We are happy to hear from you, Sandor

As for formal education - I've seen dozens of people with an engineering diploma who barely can write a FizzBuzz, so it is not the best indicator and mostly people don't look at it when it comes to recruitment aside from big corps. Although that kinda changed lately as junior positions started evaporating and without experience the diploma is the main thing they check.
It is possible to have a memory model that blocks word tearing without full logical data race prevention. Java does it, although it benefits from not having to deal with packed types etc.

Thanks for writing this up. I studied education in college and was a middle school teacher at a public school before growing so jaded I had to become a software engineer (that and I couldn't afford to pay my student loans).

So many people have no idea about education theory and incorrectly assume public schools are the most efficient because they are taught by trained educators. Unfortunately, trained educators were all taught NOT to teach this way and are prevented from doing what is most effective by the administration and the state.

Our schools are designed to stamp out creativity, critical thinking, strong collective bargaining and solidarity, democracy, and the love of learning.

A metabolomics study like that does not measure metabolic rates, you are fundamentally misunderstanding the article- it has no relevance to this discussion or my statements. They are measuring metabolite concentrations which tell you essentially nothing about metabolic rate. For that people use direct or indirect
calorimetry.

What do you mean by 'better' and 'worse'? In other words, what is your definition of a good market?
Counterpoint is that you've paid so you feel less bad for not showing up.

The solution is to just accept that some people won't show, and that's okay. Many meetups are fundamentally social events, and sometimes people just aren't in the mood for it on the night. That's okay; even the most extroverted person feels like that sometimes. Especially when "social" means "be social with strangers", which at least double the effort. And what's the alternative? Force people to come against their will with a long face? Aside from being unworkable, that would be silly.

Some people get very worked up about this, but IMHO this is like getting worked up over the weather. Perhaps understandable in some cases, but also totally pointless and changes nothing.
> The author says something to the effect of “we are all adults here” but that makes me question where the author has worked.

It's true I do say that, but more in the sense of this is what we're supposed to be. In reality, it isn't the case.
It's pretty common from my experience, for Fortune 500 type companies to do an annual raise of 2-3% for employees that is not tied to a promotion. They may not call it a "COLA" raise, but that's what it is. Though, yes, I'm sure some have frozen that in recent years.

Edit: Okay here's an example:

https://www.imercer.com/articleinsights/2024-first-quarter-u...

Note that they talk about it being a "merit raise", but that's sort of double talk. It's the budget for raises that aren't tied to a promotion. So the pool amount is 3.5%-ish, and you get some leeway to personalize it a bit..some people get 0%, some 2%, some 5%, etc. But it's just a COLA in disguise where most people get just under the pool percentage. Meaning most people get 2.5-3% or so.

Mercer gets their data from roughly 500 companies of varying sizes.

And, yes, I'm sure there are some places that don't give any sort of annual COLA type raises at all.

Freedom to screw people over with intransparency

Price discrimination doesn't guarantee cheaper products for poor people.
E.g. the same shampoo when labeled for women here costs more.
Or say Netflix costs less in some regions that are considered poor, but the rich people there still pay the lesser price.

If a business is only viable by extracting the most from every individual instead of finding a fair price, is it really better for society that business exists?

What a about the principle of fairness and people being treated equally?
" Those parties certainly seem more sympathetic to Russia than "centre" parties in their rethoric and likely policy. However, do you know of any cases of interference becoming known recently? " This is a good counterpoint.

> But flagged known images was the point of Apple's algo, for example.

You whined at me a little while ago about how all this was about "abuse, not just porn". Yet you're using that to justify a system that, as you describe it, could only find old, known images that have been circulating around the Internet and made it into a database. Meaning images of past abuse that cannot be prevented, by third parties who would not be caught by this.

Pick a threat model, because the measures you defend don't address the threats you claim justify them.

... and if you start talking about "grooming" or "normalization" or other silly bullshit that hypothetically might have a third-order effect, but probably doesn't have any meaningful effect at all in real life, I'm not going to bother to answer it.

> Still everyone just went "forget abuse, my privacy is more important for me".

Everybody's privacy is important to me. Including the privacy of the children whom you want to have grow up in an ever-expanding panopticon. Because this isn't just about stupid bullshit like your embarrassing disease. It's about people ending up in prison. It's about building infrastructure that can trivially and secretly be repurposed to hurt people, including children, in serious, life-changing, and potentially life-ending ways.

I recently built a small hand-wired macro pad using an Arduino Pro Micro equipped with ATmega32U4, it's apparently quite popular amongst hobbyists building custom keyboards. Quick and fun project for a beginner, the most tedious part of this project was to carve the wooden case.
The idea for the site is that lately I have been constantly challenged by my kids. They come from school and tell me about all the stuff they learned and they ask me questions which I usually have no answer to... So I started writing down all their questions/topics and then when I get to my computer, I would chatGPT it to get a summary/overview of the topic. It's been very educational for me and thought why not turn this into a blog/newsletter of daily "fun facts/tidbits".

But thank you for the feedback, I will re-evaluate this after a week or so and see how i can improve the process. I just launched it yesterday.

PS: maybe I will hire a VA to edit/review/double check each article before it is published.

'The hacking groups EquationCorp and USDoD are reportedly responsible for a major data breach involving the criminal record database. The breach, which resulted in the online leak of the database, contains 70 million entries. It includes the full names, dates of birth, known aliases, addresses, arrest and conviction dates, sentences and other information of millions of Americans who had encounters with the U.S. justice system between 2020 and 2024.'

I think employers, landlords, and potential dates should be able to use such information in making decisions. People who have stayed out of trouble should benefit from that, and social and career costs of criminal behavior will deter crime.

I don't know why you think that it isn't. You can do so, but AFAIK almost no libraries are written with the expectation that their computations might be interrupted at any time by another thread. The best you can hope for is that you "only" interrupt some pure computation and not throw your exception into the middle of some delicately sequenced IO side effects.

Second hand laptops are usually bigger, have a screen (maybe broken, so why not go for the SFF), and often due to this more expensive as second hand. Harder to open, maintain, and for thermals.

I prefer the Lenovo Tiny as they use a lot of the same parts as their notebooks, and are smaller, more stackable. I had 5 M93p machines for OpenStack development. Still use these machines for my son's workstation, one as a router/firewall, etc. Only one thinkpad for work as I can drop that in my bag for travel, but otherwise I have only Tiny ThinkCentres... TB3 for external graphics card.

I even take an M-series I5 n my backpack on travel as you can power them with a Slimtip USB-C cable, bluetooth Thinkpad keyboard (dual connectivity option) and an external USB-C screen for notebook/tiny. They are amazingly versatile and easy to maintain as parts as interchangeable. Can't say this about most MiniPCs, such as NUCs.

Forgot to say, they are cheap as chips when bought second-hand or from an execution sales. If it wasn't obvious... I love them!
It's weird that CPUs tend to use more power every two years now instead of less. Looks like this time, the TDP didn't increase. Yay! i guess. Don't most people think their PCs are fast enough already?

Kotlin ML Pack: Technical Report
You're right about the first part, of course. But don't you just need to truncate?

In any case, my point was more that it's not "piecewise linear". Piecewise linear means that the map is defined on some interval; it's not, it's defined on a discrete set of values. To take your example, the map isn't defined on e.g., 2.3. You can decide to interpolate linearly between the value at 2.25 and the value at 2.5, but that's a decision you make which isn't reflected in the code.

Or said differently: do you consider that any map defined on a discrete subset of R is really a piecewise linear map?

Jax-metal on Apple M-series GPUs is barely useable in my opinion. It's not possible to invert a matrix, for example, because Apple has not implemented the necessary triangular solve operator. It's also not possible to sample points from a normal distribution, because the Cholesky decomposition operator is not yet implemented. Apple hasn't responsed to both of these issues for the past year. It's difficult to take a numerical computing framework seriously if one cannot invert a matrix.
