It really seems like had a rationale:

"We suppose as aforesaid, That Electrical Fire is a common Element, of which every one of the three Persons abovementioned has his equal Share before any Operation is begun with the Tube. A who stands on Wax, and rubs the Tube, collects the Electrical Fire from himself into the Glass; and his Communication with the common Stock being cut off by the Wax, his Body is not again immediately supply’d. B, who stands upon Wax likewise, passing his Knuckle along near the Tube, receives the Fire which was collected by the Glass from A; and his Communication with the common Stock being likewise cutt off, he retains the additional Quantity received. to C, standing on the Floor, both appear to be electrised; for he having only the middle Quantity of Electrical Fire receives a Spark on approaching B, who has an over-quantity, but gives one to A, who has an under-quantity. If A and B touch each other, the Spark between them is stronger, because the Difference between them is greater. After such Touch, there is no Spark between either of them and C; because the Electrical Fire in all is reduced to the original Equality. If they touch while Electrising, the Equality is never destroyed, the Fire only circulating. Hence have arisen some new Terms among us. We say B (and other Bodies alike circumstanced) are electrised positively; A negatively: Or rather B is electrised plus and A minus. And we daily in our Experiments electrise Bodies plus or minus as we think proper. These Terms we may use till your Philosophers give us better. To electrise plus or minus, no more needs to be known than this; that the Parts of the Tube or Sphere, that are rub’d, do, in the Instant of the Friction, attract the Electrical Fire, and therefore take it from the Thing rubbing: the same Parts immediately, as the Friction upon them ceases, are disposed to give the Fire they have received, to any Body that has less. Thus you may circulate it, as Mr. Watson has shewn; You may also accumulate or subtract it upon, or from any Body, as you connect it with the Rubber or with the Receiver; the Communication with the common Stock being cut off."

Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) compilers/runtimes do something similar to that. Unified Parallel C (UPC,https://upc.lbl.gov/) and Coarray Fortran/Coarray C++ (https://docs.nersc.gov/development/programming-models/coarra...) are good examples commonly used in HPC. Fabric Attached Memory (OpenFAM, https://openfam.github.io/) is another example.

I grew up in Austin. People are arriving in droves for the cool scene and bustling economy, which is great. But a few degrees in Austin means a shift from having part of the late summer that's obnoxiously hot to having a part of the year when it's literally dangerous to go outside because of the heat.

Feels like we fail to understand how perilous just a few degrees might be to certain cities already on the climate edge...

> As far as I'm aware, the type of string literals in C++ is still a "raw" char pointer and not a string view.

You can define a constexpr std::string_view with a literal if you so choose. And if you pass a string literal to a function that accepts a string_view, then the compiler has enough information to (and typically will) construct the string_view in constant time. (A sibling commenter also points out that you can use the sv suffix: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string_view/o...)

(Meanwhile, if you pass a string literal to a function that accepts const std::string&, then that will be a linear-time operation, as it copies that data since std::string owns its data. But with any amount of indirection, you'll end up with an implicit strlen call. So this is absolutely a pitfall.)

> few libraries actually make use of std::string_view

This is a fair point, as it's a relatively new addition to the language and by no means mandatory.
Brokers exist as they are providing the service of managing and routing orders to an exchange, which market participants in electronic exchanges wouldn't be able to interact with otherwise, without having a colocation spot on the exchange and knowing FIX protocol. Retail traders don't know, don't want to learn, and really have no reason to learn how to route unmanaged orders via FIX protocol. If you want to directly interact with an exchange you can do so, you'll just have to buy or lease a colocation spot on an exchange first.

Cryptocurrency exchanges are like many FX exchanges. They are not exchanges like the regulated stock, futures and options exchanges are, but are more like decentralized trading pools with unsynchronized order books, which are opaquely operated by a single broker. In crypto exchanges, it is not that there is no broker, but that the exchange and the broker are the same entity. There is no standardized protocol to route independently managed orders directly to crypto exchange servers. There's usually no way to directly interact with the exchange server at all.
Usually no.

How are you detecting the reservation? I have a couple of trademark names and on some platforms there are no users with those names, yet they won't allow registration. Is that the trademark reservation at work? Or are there other reasons the registration would be blocked? (assuming the trademarks are very normal and not something suitable for censorship)
There's a regional airport near me, which I drive past often, and the smaller planes are all tethered to their "parking spaces" (taut cables between the tips of the wings and mounting points on the ground).

What would you hope a compiler to optimise x % y into?

Higher level change-the-algorithm aspirations haven't really been met by sufficiently smart compilers yet, with the possible exception of scalar evolution turning loops into direct calculation of the result. E.g. I don't know of any that would turn bubble sort into a more reasonable sort routine.
You're never going to have healthy birthrates in countries where you combine accessible effective birth control with secular individualistic neoliberal societies.

It doesn't matter how many services or incentives you have (see Kindergeld, or the TFR of Nordic social welfare states), the equation simply doesn't work.

Having a kid is a raw deal for a woman, even in the best of circumstances. Supporting kids for the next 20 years of your life is a tough sell even for high earners with family support.

When you remove the social/religious pressure to procreate, and you make unplanned pregnancy mostly avoidable you just don't end up with enough people having kids to keep the system running.

For many years I sought creative expression in every part of my life. Tattoo ink was just another way to decorate my body, not really different from all the other fashion-related things I've done with clothes and jewelry and makeup and hairstyles and dye and piercings and so forth.

I have known people who like to get tattoos because the experience of being tattooed does something for them in itself, but for me it was all about the art I wanted to wear. I didn't mind the pain, but it wasn't about that. There is some symbolic significance, which I mostly keep to myself, but mostly it's just that I like the way it looks.

It will be more profitable for them to deploy cars to new cities at a premium than to deploy them to existing cities to capture more of those cities' markets.

I swear to God, if this turns out to be an unpatched Exchange server or port 3389 exposed to the internet, it's going to be infuriating.

Also, of course tourism is the first scapegoat. It’s visible, disliked, and inherently not going to stand up for itself. Take it away and people will be forced to confront that it wasn’t the primary problem. Regardless of how effective it is it’s a necessary first step.

That said cities across the developed world are struggling with housing, even ones that are not popular with tourists. Why it seems no one can build anymore is what is interesting.

This is not the main reason that hubris does things up front. It does that because it makes for a significantly more robust system design. From the docs:

Co-planar quads will always subdivide into two coplanar tris. That's the crux on why the modeling work flow works. The GPU is going to turn it into triangles anyway as long as a few fundamental rules with indices are up kept, so you're mostly getting the best of both worlds here.

I think the problem is that often the order you want it in a clean history is not exactly the chronological order it was developed. Eg you may build out a feature vertically, tweaking the interfaces between the components as you go along. But a clean, atomic git history would probably introduce each component in a finished state in separate commits.

Im not saying one should ignore it. Just that it’s not a particularly good industry for a country, particularly poor countries.

The pay in tourism is terrible, usually minimum wage, except for the owners of capital, who gain enormous returns on investing in hotels / airbnbs / tourist aimed businesses.

That means it has an awful return for the ones most in need which are the poor. It’s not a distributive industry.

On top of that, it can cause a “resource curse” type phenomenon where great beaches or some other attraction causes enormous amounts of investment in tourist infrastructure leading to a lack of opportunity for other businesses which could thrive with investment. Tourist gives you such great returns on investment it doesn’t make sense to do anything else if you have capital.

Can tourism be A PART of a healthy economy ? Sure. But it shouldn’t be in charge of that economy, in which case I’d say you’re looking at a “resource curse” type economy where only the rich prosper.
Some dithering algorithms are deterministic, not all of them. The simplest & most basic dithering you can do is random, and that works quite well when targeting 8 bits per channel.

The reason I bought it up is because deterministic dithering can definitely be gamed by gerrymandering, so if you want to avoid that you might need to introduce randomness, but then you will have an even harder time getting people to buy in than with a deterministic algorithm.
This take seems a bit overwrought to me, given that the AI technologies that Apple is launching look more like fun toys that are integrated into the OS.

Wouldn't using a constraint programming solver like CP-SAT be overall a faster way to do this?

Then one would only have to specify the constraints and let the solver optimize a solution, rather than trying to write a customized packing problem algorithm from scratch. I'm sure it'd be fun, but when trying to best solve a real-world problem, I'd think using well-researched tools would be the quickest and safest way to go.
Especially if you’re in certain parts of Northern Europe where it’s common to take the whole of July off work.
That’s exactly right.

It is exactly like oil and “resource curse”, for many poor countries.

The pay is generally minimum wage and the only ones who see big returns are the owners of capital. It’s not a distributive industry. If you have too much of your country’s economy invested, I’d say you’re almost always looking at an unhealthy economy.

Indeed, it's a waiting game now. The construction companies have a valid expectation that since new construction has halted, the current supply will eventually sell, and the city will even run into a state of undersupply. Only time will tell which way that goes.

Dynamic Difficulty Adaptation Based on Stress Detection for a VR Game
Afaik there's no difference, instruct and chat are used interchangeably. Mistral calls their tunes "modelname-Instruct", Meta calles them "modelname-chat".

Strictly speaking instruct tuning would mean having one instruction and one answer, but the models are typically smart enough to still get it if you chain them together and most tuning datasets do contain examples of some back and forth discussion. That might be more what could be considered a chat tune, but in practice it's not a hard distinction.

Many of us are worried. Hell, I was publicly recognized for the depth I went into around the product you likely know and may even hate. I wrote books on it. I dove into and debugged it's closed source code. Etc.

I don't want to touch it again. In fact, I'd rather go into environmental science so I can contribute something to the greater world. But that would require schooling and that doesn't seem to be desirable in your 40s. Not that it can't be done, but it would be an enormous pay cut plus student loans.

Anyway, find something that makes you happy. Don't chase the tech. Like other's have said, blockchain was "hot", crypto was "hot", data science may be reaching the tail end of it's "hotness". I expect AI in today's form to fizzle out, as well (can't speak for it's future states).

I posted this last year and was invited to repost it using the second chance pool. After posting it, I noticed someone else posted it yesterday.
Because reality is often different from the running joke, the latter usually being an exaggeration for comedic purposes. If you constantly chase the latest and greatest frameworks, then yes, you’ll find yourself frequently rewriting your application over and over again. This applies to any technology, and it's especially common when less experienced engineers focus on the technology instead of the goal. Take PHP, for example - despite the jokes about it being obsolete and a horrible language, many developers find it effective when used correctly. I would agree with them. There are perfectly valid use cases where PHP is an excellent choice.

Being "proactive" is not rational if you're paying a higher price each day in additional complexity to possibly, maybe, avoid having to small cost later. When and if you get there you've already paid 100x the cost compared to just taking the one-time cost when it actually arrived.

Sure, but we are not paying a higher price in the name of proactivity, instead we are getting it as a bonus. As I said before, the maintenance cost has been negligible for us. Implementing and maintaining a React stack has not introduced significant overhead, the developers like it, the users like it, and we are happy with it.
A good dev I worked with was promoted to senior, due to a vacancy. They were an improvement on the decent abilities of the person who left.

The CTO confided in me one day, around six months to a year after the promotion, that the dev deserved a fat salary raise because they were doing well with their new responsibilities -- but the CTO was worried that promoted dev would expect that kind of pay raise again in the future, when the organization clearly wouldn't be able to do it.

I called the CTO dumb and told them the promoted dev was doing well at their job for the same reasons that they'll understand that fat pay raises can be a one time thing.

Whenever I think of people leaving because they aren't getting pay bumps, I don't think of managers being stingy. I think of really weird mis-expectations and what must've happened in the past to build that expectation in managers' minds.

If the Mk 14 Torpedo had worked for the US submariners off the Philippines in December, 1941 the Japanese would have probably failed to take those islands.

IIRC, the US subs put torpedoes into more than half the Japanese ships, but did almost no damage due to defective torpedo exploders.

Imagine if the US had stayed with the reasonably reliable Mk 10 Torpedo and had adopted the British Fairey Swordfish instead of the TBD Avenger.

Just deploying Swordfish along the US East Coast would have saved thousands of lives lost in the Battle of the Atlantic. Instead Admiral Nimitz relegated the existing Swordfish to ferrying personnel after they chased Japanese subs away from the American West Coast. He did not believe the reports of then damaging so many Japanese subs. After the war, he learned those reports were correct.

WW2 in the Pacific would have been a lot shorter.
