It could be a competitor (Stark Industries) that is getting large. If the brand still has SEO or social juice, buying it then rebranding it as something like "Wayne Enterprises, now a Stark Industries Company".

It could be a cheap relabeling of existing products but if all the company who is doing that say is, "Yo, we bought the brand." and doesn't hide it or make false claims, that is completely legit.

It's a pretty smart move if the price is right, which can be a big "if".
In my experience, the biggest offender is programs trying to do syscalls directly (possibly for async-signal-safety), but not being aware of `writev`. Especially programs that do colored output can be really stupid here. Sometimes there are stupid programs that use multiple processes to do colored output even (IIRC CMake is a big offender here, but CMake is infamous for refusing to fix bugs)!

The pipe buffer is big enough that sane programs aren't likely to run into problems. The math:

PIPE_BUF is 512 per POSIX but in practice 4096 on Linux (probably others too?). If we assume a horrible-and-unlikely 12 formatting characters per real character (and assume a real character is non-BMP and thus 4 bytes, but still single-column), Linux has enough for 64 characters. With more reasonable assumptions (mostly ascii, no more than 4 formatting changes per line) we get more like 6 lines of output being atomic on Linux, and even POSIX being likely to get at least one whole line.

The variability is a bit too high for this test to make sense.

Consider the first Python example:

for _ in range(n):
pass

On my Mac using Python 3.12 I get a factor of two difference depending on if the example is run as written, or if it's in a function:

>>> import time
>>> if 1:
... t1 = time.time()
... for _ in range(100_000_000):
... pass
... print(time.time() - t1)
...
2.442094087600708
>>> def f():
... t1 = time.time()
... for _ in range(100_000_000):
... pass
... print(time.time() - t1)
...
>>> f()
1.2900230884552002
>>> f'{100_000_000 / 2.44:,}'
'40,983,606.55737705'
>>> f'{100_000_000 / 1.29:,}'
'77,519,379.84496124'

If it's within an order of magnitude, then 10M and 100M should be fine.

But the test author measured 113 million/second, which is 3x higher than what I get using the test as-written. And because it's quantized to powers of 10, only 100M and 1G are considered correct.

That higher number is because the actual timing, which I verified by looking in the repo, measures the loop performance in a function, which is not what the question asked.

Since 113M is near the power-of-10 boundary used for scoring, and the benchmark machine appears to be faster than mine, and the benchmark uses an easier-to-optimize situation than shown, my answer of 10M was deemed incorrect, even though 40M is within an order of magnitude of 113M.

There actually are a few problems with underground power lines, notably that maintenance & upgrades are much harder and more expensive, they tend to get severed by construction, they tend to get severed by earthquakes, and bad things result if the waterproof conduit around them is punctured.

On balance I think they're probably worth it for areas prone to wildfire, but undergrounding all power lines is not a panacea, and there are a lot of hidden costs to undergrounding that become apparent only after they get old and you have to do maintenance.

The org-journal extension to Emacs' org-mode is great for this.

ctrl-c n j = add new timestamped journal entry

https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal

So the workflow for this is: command-tab to switch to Emacs, ctrl-c n j to add a new journal entry, write the entry, command-tab back to whatever else I was doing. Emacs auto-saves my changes.

Of course, getting to that point requires some work. You have to be using Emacs and org-mode already, or prepared to try it, and that journey can be difficult for some.

The org-journal extension is great: It supports daily/weekly/monthly/yearly journal files (I use daily but I'm considering switching to weekly or monthly). When I create a new daily file, it only "brings forward" uncompleted TODO items, which means any completed TODOs are automatically archived out of your sight.

Because it integrates with org-mode, I have it set up such that it tracks when a task is moved from TODO into PROG, and again when it moves into DONE. (I get annoyed when columns don't line up, so I made my todo item names 4 characters long)

There is excellent evidence for then-relativistic cosmic neutrinos from the cosmic microwave background acoustic oscillations. As with the CMB, these neutrinos cooled into a "relic" field with the metric expansion.

A cooling gas of relativistic neutrinos becomes non-relativistic when the average neutrino momentum becomes comparable to their rest mass. The present cosmic neutrino background (CNB) temperature is about 1.9 kelvins corresponding to ~ 1.7e-04 eV/c^2 which is smaller than some neutrino masses.

This is still "hot" compared to Cold Dark Matter, and CNB also only a small fraction of the required CDM energy density.

The lightest cosmic neutrino background mass eigenstates could be relativistic at present, so how the CNB is split between (FLRW) radiation and dark matter is ripe for research. It will mostly be "hot" DM because of the heavier, colder species. But not hot enough to leave clusters of galaxies, unlike neutrinos produced by present-day astrophysics (and our own laboratory experiments and nuclear power generation).

What does speed mean in this setting (launching things out of Earth Orbit)? Most of the time when I hear about something reaching some speed is space I think about its speed relative to the launch site or the Earths surface. In orbit around the Sun Parkers speed is surely changing, relative to Earth, do to the different orbits. Does speed really have much meaning in this context?

> Either side thinks they can't survive without vanquishing the other.

Except, it actually is not a two way street. It's purely one way. Without users, the content sellers can't survive. But if users stop consuming ads and eliminate content revenue streams, the users will be just fine. So what if TikTok goes out of business or something?

All the failure of online advertising would mean would be regressing to a time when the internet was not very commercialized yet, which was an amazing awesome time when we had pretty much all the positives of today with few of the negatives.

They need us, but we don't need them. Big Content is a parasite.
It's good to be very careful about what you do with your email account at such a place. Most companies are tolerant of some incidental personal use of your work email address, but just remember that whoever gets control of the domain later will also receive all "your" email. So if you're using it as a recovery address for any personal online services, they will now have that.

Best policy is to use work email addresses strictly for work, even if they are OK with some personal use. This is true even if it's your own business. Are you going to want to pay for that domain forever? If not, keep it separate from your personal email.

They explain it in the article but I'll paraphrase here.

Historically there wasn't a single good answer/method that could be applied universally to many of the problems. Hence user selectable and configurable plugins to allow the user to experiment for what worked best for them.

That is no longer the case, the project has matured to the point that a optimal choice is known meaning that the existing plugin system only provided the user with a footgun. This they folded plugins and their developers into the codebase and built a database of known optimal configurations.
That kind of negates the whole purpose of multi threading. An application running on two cores might end up slower, not faster. We know that the python developers are kind of incompetent when it comes to performance, but the numbers you are quoting are so bad they probably aren't correct in the first place.

For me, tracking is not my primary concern with ads: I use an ad blocker as an accessibility tool to allow me to even exist on the internet at all. I have ADHD. Nearly all content on the internet is flanked by ads that make it impossible for me to actually read or watch it—they're intentionally distracting enough to draw the eye of a neurotypical person, and it's hopeless for me.

I dread a world where even Mozilla embraces advertising and the false idea that the only thing to solve is privacy. Ads are a problem for many, many reasons, and we need to find alternative answers for funding.

> Doing it the other way is a common pitfall in teaching programming concepts.

100% disagree

If someone is brand new to programming and you're expecting to teach them the following concepts:

A class, methods, static methods, data types, method return types, void return type, arrays, and namespaces just to be able to write a simple "Hello World" app [1] I think your approach is the one that's misguided.

The most common mistaken people make in teching is teaching things in the order the were discovered historically. Not always, but very often that is a distraction. The second most common is teaching from the outside in.

The best way to teach is to explain what your tyring to accomplish and start with a very simple example for people to play with. Then pick on concept and modify it so they can see the results of those changes. Then pick the next concet and modify that so they can see tangibly what that means.

In the hello world example, it would be starting with the program in [1] and focusing just on the constant string "Hello World!". Change it see what that means, understand what's going on. Then move out to the Console.WriteLine. Make a copy of that line have two lines of it then 3 to understand the method call. Then swap to Console.ReadLine to see what a different method call can do. Continue exploring out from that core concept.

The "static" identifier on a method class is not where to start teaching someone programming.

It's also why Racket removed a lot of the boiler plate from thier core teaching langauges for students. For them to not even have to see the things that are unnecessary at that point in their learning.[2]

It's fake because it provides information that can be used for evil purposes: attribution to an individual has nothing to do with it. It's fake if it really is 100% anonymous.

Example: Count Jackboot (your favorite evil politician, Trump or Biden or whoever) is running for office. He wants to know voter opinion on topic X so he can lie about it. He commissions a reputable polling firm to ask people about X, and give him only the aggregated results. The polling firm contacts you, asks your opinion about X, and promises you that your opinion can't be linked back to you. You'll be helping the Jackboot campaign completely anonymously.

You believe the anonymity promise, but that's irrelevant, you hopefully don't want to help the Jackboot campaign at all! Saying everything is private because Jackboot only gets anonymous information is a self-serving rationalization by the advertisers and data collectors. The only way to be private is give no information whatsoever.

I'd still like to ask a version of the same question, is gallium so special that it only makes sense to do this experiment with gallium?

If sterile neutrinos cause the production of germanium from gallium to be 80% of what we thought it was, will there be other nuclear reactions that we now don't understand? E.g. a given plutonium reaction produces 100g of uranium, currently consistent with the theoretical model, after sterile neutrinos are confirmed will we be saying hang on, this should only produce 80g of uranium with the new model, something else is wrong?

Presumably not, at least with well-understood reactions, so why is gallium so special here?
