A streaming join indeed requires an unbounded buffer in the most general case when inputs keep growing and any input record on one side of the join can match any record on the other side. However, it does not require inputs to be ordered. An incremental query engine such as Feldera or Materialize can handle out-of-order data and offer strong consistency guarantees (disclaimer: I am a developer of Feldera). In practice, unbounded buffers can often be avoided as well. This may require a specialized join such as as-of join (https://www.feldera.com/blog/asof-join) and some GC machinery.
Entirely possible - I spend as little time as possible thinking about this and am just looking forward to our national nightmare of Trump being a plausible president candidate being over the week after next.
For those doubting that Tether is fully backed, note that Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgeral, one of the largest investment banks and a public company, has stated that Cantor Fitzgeral manages Tether’s money and indeed the money is all there and invested in US treasury bonds
Proof isn't required.

It's difficult to prove because it's difficult to state clearly what is "better" and it's expensive to collect preference data (or similar).

You could use common sense after looking at lots of samples and say "this method seems to work better if you are trying to optimize for X".

Those situations are nothing alike. The Byzantines lived in Greece. Byzantium was founded by Greeks. Others in Europe called them "the Greeks". They were the genuine continuation of Hellenic culture for over 10 centuries.

It's either that or Greeks ceased to exist between Roman conquest and Ottoman independence - at which point they were ruled by a German and, presumably by your logic, were actually Turks anyway, not Greeks.

If you know much about Hellenic history, you know it's been a culture in flux since prehistory. I'd assert there has never been a group that you would call "true Greeks"... except maybe the Graecoi - Hellenic colonists in Italy. Even the post-Classical period of pan-Hellenism was driven and ruled by Macedonians, who a century prior were not considered Hellenes.

Source? I'm seeing Fitzgerald say "Cantor Fitzgerald manages 'many many' of" Tether's assets (not all) and that he can vouch for their balance sheet [1]. But not that Cantor manages all of its assets nor that it's all in Treasuries.

With red meat the known benefits peaks (way) lower than average consumption. I’m not an expert but that looks to be shown more than the opposite. On a personal anecdote my doctor tells last week optimum is at 1meal/2weeks. He’s maybe not aware of breaking discoveries but this looks to be in range with what’s discussed here and there.

I like critical thinking nevertheless and it would be interesting to learn more.

I have heard of there having been earlier studies that have linked iron intake with colon cancer growth, and I have personal reason to believe them.

I have Lynch syndrome: a hereditary cell mutation which increases risk of colon cancer. Patients like me get a colonoscopy every eighteen months or so only to remove polyps. For a decade I had not had a single polyp to remove.

Then in 2022, I got another cancer which gave me blood deficiency (low hemoglobin levels), and just to keep myself alive I took strong iron supplements for months.
It did of course also stress my immune system.
I got colon cancer in record time, which surprised also my doctors.
It grew from no visible polyp (my last colonoscopy) to two inches in nine months, and in-between that I had an X-ray that also showed nothing (but which can't detect tumors small enough).

If feedback times - weather due to pipeline or personal/reviews - are long, I would also push larger PRs.
Also reviews rarely really improve anything besides bikeshedding stuff like style or whatever the reviewer might find more pleasant in terms of overall structure.
If reviews were done right you’d have to deep dive into the problem the requester tried to solve and understand his concepts and ideas of the solution.
To do so, I do important reviews (which are super rare) in pair programming style with the requester.
I suggest you should do the same especially if lot of code is changed or added.

How much Apple did to help evacuate my grandmother from the hell in Kharkiv
You are right. What I meant is sole claim to production of semaglutide. If they want to produce the injector version, which is considerably more expensive and more difficult to produce (and thus justifies their exorbitant pricing) as opposed to what the compounders are doing, then they are not acting in good faith here and are purposefully slow walking a product that is in incredible demand.
The correct way to think about the problem is in terms of evaluating joins (or any other queries) over changing datasets. And for that you need an engine designed for *incremental* processing from the ground up: algorithms, data structures, the storage layer, and of course the underlying theory. If you don't have such an engine, you're doomed to build layer of hacks, and still fail to do it well.

We've been building such an engine at Feldera (https://www.feldera.com/), and it can compute joins, aggregates, window queries, and much more fully incrementally. All you have to do is write your queries in SQL, attach your data sources (stream or batch), and watch results get incrementally updated in real-time.
I do believe that something like 70% of SV can't stand Trump. You can see that in the insane amount of money Kamala has raised from SV (which probably even dwarfs Trump's XX person oligarch haul).

It's a normal word/concept that everyone's familiar with.

As for career planning, I don't think it's very relevant. The sorta-equivalent sayings like "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life!" tend to be used in a way that puts existing preferences and interests first, and everything else as a consequence of it. The way I'd think of "ikigai" in a career context, the work being meaningful (as in the opposite of a "bullshit job") is what comes first. Since it's meaningful, it's something the world needs, so you can get paid for it. Since it's the opposite of a bullshit job, you're motivated to devote the time and effort and attention to be(come) good at it. A job well-done is satisfying. So I'd envision it as something you settle into, rather than plan ahead with your guidance counselor equivalent.

It's also not necessarily a word specific to jobs/careers in the first place, and in a literal sense only means "I live for this" / "it's worth living for". The rest is a recent fixation by writers.

Mens Rea is exactly why you need Theory of Mind. One can't judge intent without it. The point is that some naive mechanistic definition like "Structured information" that another commenter suggested isn't going to fit the bill. It is the intent to have the message be maliciously executed that needs adjudication, and you need a human that can exercise theory of mind to be able to do that. One can't do it with a regex, for example.

Especially in the coming era of natural language interfaces, the only difference between code and other language is how it is intended to be used.

In my view, money might once have, but the number of persuadable voters is quite low. If someone has decided to vote for Trump, it's unlikely they will change their mind. And if someone is undecided, they'll probably vote for Trump, because let's face it, most people voting for Harris aren't voting because they like her platform - they're voting because they dislike Trump. If you don't dislike Trump, Harris's platform is nothing world-changingly new or different.

When I see .com I immediately assume it's not a government site until proven otherwise. It's sometimes done, particularly for affiliated and contracted sites, but also anyone can just go register a .com (see the history of whitehouse.com - from porn to gambling and more) plus government ones overwhelming tend to be .gov, .org, .us, etc anyways. (.gov is really the only one of those that's a particular guarantee of much but the others are at least slightly more likely to be real sites).
> Nobody is driving in realtime over LTE, that would be insane.

To be pedantic that's not really a good argument against the possibility of remote driving. All of Waymo's service areas are inside the coverage areas of AT&T's 5G+, Verizon's 5G Ultra Wide, and T-Mobile's 5G Ultra Capacity networks.
To simply illustrate your point: if you see a computer calculate 1*1=∞ occasionally, you know the computer is wrong and something is causing it to break.

If you see a particle accelerator occasionally make an observation that breaks the standard model, depending on what it is breaking you can be very confident that the observation is wrong, but you cannot know that with absolute certainty.
< Where the fuck is this absolute delusion that "big pharma just gives pills!!1!" coming from?

The way this is phrased is a little rude, but hey it's the internet.

I'm actually curious where this idea comes from as well. I hear it all the time, but have never experienced anything close to it in all of my years on the planet. Is it some kind of political trope? Something that used to be true that older people haven't realized changed a long time ago? Does it come from 70's sitcoms?

It's certainly never happened to me with any of the doctors I've ever seen, met, or worked with, and I have decades of experience in healthcare adjacent fields. All of the doctors I've known actually really cared about their patients and would often complain that the patient just wanted pills and weren't more compliant when it came to things like diet, exercise, and quitting their vices.

It's exactly the same as farmers planting too much. It doesn't matter if people love what they planted. There is a limit to what people can reasonably consume.

Only, unlike farming, I don't expect governments to intervene in the market. Video games aren't exactly a critical good.
I'm sure we don't need to argue semantics here as you very well understand what I mean. The American public wasn't as divided as now.

That is what banks do.

But it’s more complicated because the current trading value of a bond is not the same as the expected return you’d get if you hold it to maturity. Last year Silicon Valley Bank and others got into trouble for this reason.

Let’s say you invested $100M into a 10-year bond when interest rates were at 2%. With interest, you’ll be getting back about $122M in ten years. Nice.

But what if you’re a bank and suddenly every depositor wants to withdraw that $100M? You can’t wait ten years. You need to sell the bond. Now you face the problem that interest rates are at 4%. Somebody with $100M can invest it in a 10-year bond that will return $148M instead of your measly $122M. So nobody will pay full price for your 2% bond because they can get a better return elsewhere.

> Ergo, the only acceptable company names going forward will be

chosen by fair dice roll.
So two things:

1. This is perhaps just my preference, and so is more subjective, but I don't want to have to pick and choose among various options for doing linting or static analysis or or address sanitizing or model checking after the fact. I want compilation to fail if any of these invariants don't hold. Rust can do that; C never will be able to do that. (Sure, if I write unsafe Rust, I'm going to want to run MIRI on it, but if can stick to safe Rust, the compiler should be sufficient.)

2. I'm probably not as well-versed in the topic as you are, but my understanding is that model checking tools like this cannot prove that every single program that a compiler will accept will also be free of the issues that the model checker is looking for. Again, the Rust compiler can do that. Yes, that does mean that the Rust compiler might reject some programs that would turn out to be safe and sound, but I'm ok with that trade off.
The coffee is pretty good, though.
It’s astonishing that handling and/or storing strings correctly is so hard, people actually suggest it’s somehow better to “just” stop such strings at administrative level.

I find it harmful assuming that some externally-sourced data will match any arbitrary format (e.g. contain only allowed characters), even if it’s really supposed to be so. (Inverse for outputs - one has to conform as strictly as they can.) Ignoring this leads to mental dismissal of validation and correct handling, and that’s how things start to crack at the seams. I have seen too many examples of “this can never be… oops”.

Add: Best one can safely assume when handling a string is that it’ll be composed of a zero or more octets (because that’s what typically OS/language would guarantee). Languages and frameworks usually provide a lot of tooling to ensure things are what they expected to be. Ignoring the failure modes (even less probable ones, like a different Unicode collation than is conventional on a certain system) makes one sloppy, not practical.
There's an uncertain future cost (basically an externality that impacts McDonald corporate) but in return they get a nice premium now and immediate uncertainty for franchisees. It's possible it's overall a net negative for MD corporate, but it's also possible it's an overall economically profitable trade (even though it's clearly immoral).

Been a while since I first watched the video. I would imagine the ice cream machines are a relatively small part of the McDonald's business. As evidenced by the fact that McDonalds ice cream has been an issue for quite a while. I would imagine franchises of a similar caliber to McD's also exploit their owner-operators on a similar scale because they can, we just don't necessarily hear about it because McDonalds is the largest.

McDonald's isn't known for its quality anyway. I've had my fair share of sketchy McDonalds experiences. McDs is as large as it is because it is cheap, convenient, and ubiquitous. McDonalds has no qualms with cutting corners on quality, as evidenced by its entire menu.
Nice, the politicians were able to get some brownie points on a hot button issue without actually doing anything! Good for them, I bet they feel proud, they deserve some of the ice cream they so valiantly saved.

It revises one statement in the state constitution in a very straightforward way.

It takes an infintessimal amount of focus to decide if you're in favor of that change or not.

Whether the reason it's on this year's ballot is neurotic or strategic is on a level with whether you should buy 4 or 6 rolls of toilet paper next time you're at the store. You already know if you need toilet paper or not, so that difference is relatively inconsequential.

Every consumer of its data should be sanitizing its inputs before rendering them wherever they are using it. HTML, SQL, etc. Banning "computer code" as judged by a random bureaucrat from being inserted into the database is not a solution at all, much less a foolproof one.

The absolute best case scenario here is that the bureaucrats successfully block all possible actually-malicious injection attacks but the vulnerable consumers still get broken occasionally by a random apostrophe that gets thrown in.
