Some stores won't let you near the stuff they sell, you have to talk to somebody. Maybe that's what the GP is talking about.

Anyway, it's expected that you'll ask for the price and may go away after hearing it. So crazy mark-ups are risky business.
I think anything that can treat arterial plaque would be great. Take it once every other year as a part of your regular checkup, prevent any issues known to be caused by arterial plaque.
If you're selecting the n:th element, where n is very small (or large), using median-of-medians may not be the best choice.

Instead, you can use a biased pivot as in [1] or something I call "j:th of k:th". Floyd-Rivest can also speed things up. I have a hobby project that gets 1.2-2.0x throughput when compared to a well implemented quickselect, see: https://github.com/koskinev/turboselect

If anyone has pointers to fast generic & in-place selection algorithms, I'm interested.

I do agree that it is a code smell. However given that this is an algorithms article I don't think it is exactly that fair to judge it based on code quality. I think of it as: instead of writing it in pseudocode the author chose a real pseudocode-like programming language, and it (presumably) runs well for illustrative purposes.
> ILOVEYOU, sometimes referred to as the Love Bug or Loveletter, was a computer worm that infected over ten million Windows personal computers on and after 5 May 2000. It started spreading as an email message with the subject line "ILOVEYOU" and the attachment "LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs".

Interesting point about the GDPR; I will soften my point to mean that lawmakers have started (late) to regulate data retention / deletion and the rights of users in general and that might be a trend for the future.

However I would like to avoid the impression that with the description of the technical status quo the topic is settled. To do so I would go back to my previous point: Imagine some truly illegal pictures are in that cold storage backup, and one day you might have to restore that data. (Since aparently the user's wish to delete data is not quite as respected as certain other hard legal requirements regarding content)

What solutions to mitigate the situation could a company, or backup tool/web framework etc. reasonably come up with? Maybe check the restored data against a list of hashes/IDs of to-be-deleted-data?

In my market (Portland, OR), the cost for new construction seems to be in the range of $250-350/square foot. A buildable lot in a decent neighborhood costs $300k-ish (if you can find one).

Assuming you’re building a family sized building of 2k+ square feet, building costs definitely exceed land costs.

Anecdotally, all the new construction in my neighborhood is top of market - builders are selling large houses at $1.3M+ when a typical existing house sells for more like $700k. Smaller homes would sell faster, but the economics seem to only pencil out for larger/higher end.
Making sane DB indices and constraints. It's amazing how often people just don't add indices even when the access pattern is clear from the outset. "Premature optimization is the root of all evil!" ok, so when are we actually going to add that index? (Answer: never)

Kind of says it all.

At the end of the day if you have a complex product but don't have comprehensive test cases, it's just a matter of time until your users notice your product sucks.
The type system is a big part of what made Java cumbersome. It's loosened up a little over the years. TS itself may allow partial typing, but when team/company policies are involved, you'll often end up being forced to type everything.

Any Ladder logic editor would have two views: the block view and the text view.
I used to work on Siemens PLCs. I started using only the block view, but over time migrated to only using the text view.
Now, I understand that the text view is basically a kind of Assembler. I liked it because I was able to think and visualize things in my head much better using text. But for simple flows, and people not versed in programming, the only option, really, is the block view.
Here's an example of TypeScript failing to be sound - it should give a type error but it doesn't. I believe Flow does indeed give a type error in this situation:

If this feature ever becomes the default (ie not behind a flag) - how will the NPM ecosystem respond? Will contributors still bother to build CJS end EJS versions when publishing a NPM module, or just slap an 'engine: nodejs >= 25' on the package.json and stop bothering with the build step before pushing to NPM ?

I personally would very much prefer if NPM modules that have their original code in TS and are currently transpiling would stop shipping dist/.cjs so I unambiguously know where to put my debugger/console.log statements. And it would probably be very tempting to NPM contributors to not have to bother with a build step anymore.

But won't this start a ripple effect through NPM where everyone will start to assume very quickly 'everyone accepts TS files' - it only takes one of your dependencies for this effect to ripple through? It seems to me that nodejs can't move this outside an opt-in-experimental-flag without the whole community implicitly expecting all consumers to accept TS files before you know it. And if they do, it will be just months before Firefox and Safari will be force to accept it too, so all JS compilers will have to discard TS type annotations

Which I would personally be happy with - we're building transcompiling steps into NPM modules that convert the ts code into js and d.ts just to support some hypothetical JS user even though we're using TS on the including side. But if node accepts .ts files we could just remove those transpiling steps without ever noticing it... so what's stopping NPM publishers from publishing js/d.ts files without noticing they broke anything?
I don’t know. People spend a lot of time thinking about network partitions. What’s the difference between a network partition, and a network that is very slow? You could communicate via carrier pigeon. Practicably, you can easily communicate via people in different regions, who already “know” which partition is correct. Networks are never really partitioned; and, the choice of denominator when calculating their speed means they’re never really transferring at 0 bits per second either. Eventually data will start transferring again.

So a pretty simple application design can deal with all of this, and that’s the world we live in, and people deal with delays and move on with life, and they might bellyache about delays for the purpose of getting discounts from their vendors but they don’t really want to switch vendors. If you’re a bank in the highly competitive business of taking 2.95% fees (that should be 0.1%) on transactions, maybe this stuff matters. But like many things in life, like drug prices, that opportunity only exists in the US, it isn’t really relevant anywhere else in the world, and it’s certainly not a math problem or intrinsic as you’re making it sound. That’s just the mythology the Stripe and banks people have kind of labeled on top of their shit, which was Mongo at the end of the day.
I really don't understand what you mean by this. 1) it's not known whether chess is a win for White or not. 2) IMO problems, such as 2024 problem 1 which the system solved, are often phrased as "Determine all X such that…".

Agreed. More specifically it's a tragedy of commons of people who are of average iq + maturity.

Overall cohesive group size is directly proportional to the iq + wisdom of participating individuals.

The reddit post mentions that DCM is evaporated and it is basically not present after the process. Actually the thread mentions that all the fuss like your post is mostly scaremongering without actual understanding the mechanisms. Do you have evidence that indeed the phase change and separations may not happen?

Depends on what support means. If support means root on ZFS can be installed effortlessly, then yes. But if support means if things failed and you can get support to fix it, then no.
Digital camera sensors are still quite noisy, perhaps even more so as sensors have gotten smaller while resolutions have gotten higher (meaning even smaller pixels). We just process all the noise away most of the time.
"They probably wouldn't show anything other than the pack price if they had a choice"

The absolute dream would be to price it like health care. You only find out the price months or years after buying the item and multiple phone calls to clear up errors. And for one person it would be 50 cents and for another person 200 dollars.
It's a good question. A lot of FPGA projects I see (including some real life products I've looked into recently) don't really need an FPGA. One I was asked to evaluate recently could easily have been done with a microcontroller with PWM outputs. The frequencies involved were well under 40MHz. Yes, there were a couple of multiplications going on in the FPGA, but there those could've been easily handled by a micorcontroller. An RP2040 would've sufficed instead of what they had - a microcontroller + an FPGA.

I'm all for giving equity in a company to incentivize employees.

The problem I have with this blanket statement, and the article itself, is that most of those employees didn't take on any of the risk. The risk/reward system is askew at that point.

You‘re really going to make your point with an Article from 2007 of a mentally ill man that didn‘t even answer his letters from the Arbeitsamt? He didn‘t even apply for aid. Also, you never have to go hungry in Germany. Anyone can go to a Suppenküche and get meals for free.

Your other article is from 2022, the middle of the Ukraine war which caused an incredible explosion in heating costs. There is no mention of welfare there. Even then, if you actually read the stats behind it, Germany was still in the top 3 EU wide by a far margin. Also, as per the Statistisches Bundesamt, the people polled gave self assessed answers in these polls. There is no information to be found on the severity or degree of how many funds they were lacking, or even what „enough heating“ is supposed to mean. Bit disappointing to be honest.

These articles do not support your point at all. What even is your point? Are you even German? You‘re discussing from a point of severe misinformation. I really don‘t get your agenda here.
Kinda? Chess isn't solved. Complex problems can have better solutions discovered in the future.
Different rpg systems provide different experience with their rules. Dungeon World is much better than DnD at providing a cinematic experience that just feels loose and fun. Even if you want a lot of clear rules, D&D is a really bad game at that, and there are better systems (Gurps does that and plays much faster for example). My favorite system in Burning Wheel which is great at bringing out character development and pushing the story forward really focused on what the characters are striving for.
A different but to my taste more mathematically conventional way to make this argument would be instead to say that a symbol is a function from the square to [0, 1], that is, a grayscale image. A symbol, because of limitations of either its writer/printer or its reader/viewer, should have some "regularity": as you move around the image, there should be some quantitative restrictions on how rapidly the darkness of the gray color should change. In this kind of setup, the space of symbols is compact by a version of the Arzela-Ascoli theorem, which I think was fairly well-known by the time Turing was working. This also has the advantage of being straightforward to generalize to things like colored images by just changing [0, 1] to, say, [0, 1]^3 to represent RGB space, or whatever you want, as some others are mentioning in the comments.

As an aside, this is an interesting companion read:

"A pedagogical history of compactness" (https://arxiv.org/abs/1006.4131)

As a working mathematician, I can say that this kind of argument has become totally routine and, were I reading Turing's paper carefully, after seeing "epsilon" and "compact" I would think "makes sense" and move on. But, historically speaking, it's interesting to realize how recent the development of the abstract idea of compactness was when Turing was writing---the time between Frechet and Hausdorff's work on compactness (see the pedagogical history) and Turing is about the time between Google being founded and today.
This reminds me of a reddit post from about 10 years ago where people started to notice that when they get decaf coffee at work it sometimes bleeds through the styrofoam cup while the regular coffee never does. There have been several other reports of this since. The most credible theory was that sometimes there is solvent left over after the decaf process:

> Advertising is really the only successful economic model of the web at this point and has been for more or less its entire existence (at least in so much as it had economic relevance to begin with).

This is false.

Self-publishing on the web was successful to the point of dominance for a decade, and remains successful for many. In fact, "pamphleteering" has been successful for centuries without ads:

Economic relevance of idea and knowledge sharing is unmeasured but not irrelevant.

I once lost an entire Christmas vacation to fixing up the damage caused when an Elasticsearch cluster running in AWS responded poorly to a network partition event and started producing results that ruined our users' day (and business records) in a "costing millions of dollars" kind of way.

It was a very old version of ES, and the specific behavior that led to the problem has been fixed for a long time now. But still, the fact that something like this can happen in a cloud deployment demonstrates that this article's advice rests on an egregiously simplistic perspective on the possible failure modes of distributed systems.

In particular, the major premise that intermittent connectivity is only a problem on internetworks is just plain wrong. Hubs and switches flake out. Loose wires get jiggled. Subnetworks get congested.

And if you're on the cloud, nobody even tries to pretend that they'll tell you when server and equipment maintenance is going to happen.
Avoiding fusors won't do you any harm. On the other hand alzheimers is miserable. I'd personally be ok to try a treatment where the odds were 50% cure 50% death.

Edit: To defend my response, the model definitely knows when it hasn't yet found a correct response, but this is categorically different from knowing that it does not know (and of course monkeys and typewriters etc., can always find a proof eventually if one exists).

> Prison labor is legal in the United States due to a loophole in the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which banned slavery, except for people convicted of crimes.

The 13th amendment is interpreted as allowing forced labor while incarcerated, but that's not the same thing allowing slavery for people convicted of crimes. I can't see how it helps to confuse the two.

Good idea, I'm gonna quit my job today and start my own coop with all the earnings my current employer shared with me! Oh, wait...

I'm not sure why you think there will be a clear answer, since communism is not a word with a clear definition. It means many things to many people. It's no different to "capitalist" in this respect (and you often see lib-right people claim the US is "not real capitalism" because things like social security and govt bailouts exist).

It's obvious that "communist" policies don't entail that you have the same government as the USSR, so I think it's fair to call arguments that suggest so propaganda. It's probably meaningless to argue about whether the USSR had "true communism".
"Bolted on" is how I'd describe it too. Using TS means messing a lot more with random config files. And standard tools like the NodeJS profiler don't work with TS, which hopefully will change soon.

These may also be an answer to the Fermi paradox in the sense that a species that perfected D+D fusion might be able to build larger space colonies and live their lifestyle out there, possibly consuming objects like dwarf planet Pluto entirely.

Happiness. What hell is it even? It means nothing.

Why? Because I am the most happy when working at a high paying job with loots of interesting problems to solve.

I would be the least happy working at a high paying job with nothing to do.

Happiness is a comparator, not a number. Money on the other hand can be counted, and thus can be measured. I am 100% sure every Greek ever would be more happy with more money given nothing else changed. Only somebody who found happiness through suffering would ask for less, and be more happy with less.
> This structure is why I don't like those ridiculous interviews where it starts with "the actor sits in his home with [long description of furniture], wearing [long description of clothes], he sips coffee from a [long description of mug]". I just want the interview, I understand that the actor is living somewhere and wearing something, it does not matter.

While I agree with you that I find this style of writing commonly found in the entertainment section of a weekend piece to be very grating, I would argue that this still follows the bottom line up front. For the audience that these pieces are geared towards, the important part is whether the actor passes the vibe check or not. The latter part of the interview itself is not too important because it is mainly promoting whatever the actor wants to promote in the piece.

For instance, "the actor sits in his home with [long description of furniture]" describes how they keep their home's interior stylistically. What the actor wears shows how good their fashion sense is. Sipping coffee from a fancy mug shows how wealthy they are and/or shows the morning vibe they would exude on a good day.
