In Poland I always respect the pedestrian lights. Contrary to France and even Germany, drivers expect you to respect them, and especially in Warsaw there is a very high tolerance on speeding on big wide arters. Cars crossing intersections at speeds of more than 90km/h (7.8 furlongs per minute for Americans) are usual in Warsaw.
It may also be that the moderation effort required will also continue to increase in the future, that the human ability to that is exhaustible. i.e. It may actually decrease at a point in time. You might want to act on these opposing trends before they reach a crisis point.

No amount of legislation or changes in rules will protect from people who aren't paying attention. These changes don't have an impact immediately, but the only way to make them is to do them at one point or another. The people learning to drive in NY now will know that things are different, and in 10-15 years the behaviour will change.
I think most of the optimizations were pretty low level and had nothing to do with Java itself. You could implement the same techniques in any other (compiled) language and get similar performance results. Things like cache locality, ILP, work stealing, multithreading, SWAR etc. In fact, the top solutions mostly used unsafe to use off-heap memory to avoid GC and copying of data.

EDIT: I realized I completely misread the question. I thought it was asking the difference of using a WHERE clause or putting conditionals in the JOIN (see my reply above for an example). The original SO questions is about an old-school CROSS JOIN `table1,table2` (which is a cartesian product in relational algebra) and a JOIN.

Edit 2: "old school" in the sense of joining tables before JOINs existed. I think it was System R the first engine to introduce efficient JOINs vs cross products.

Most people seriously underestimate how much power there is in a modern Intel/ARM server.

Many businesses think "we have a lot of products". Nope, even when you have more than a million products we can load all of them into RAM, even with 4 KB of memory allocate to each product.

So a million products is small business from a "load into RAM" perspective. Easily handled on a single server.

Because most judges ruled them as abuse of the court, or having no legal standing, or being malpractice.

I guess you can call those technicalities, but more accurately they were trying to use the court system to wage politics and the courts both liberal and conservative all looked at what was filed and said they were absurd and baseless.

> something like a data dump that destination instances can download without hitting the API

That gets you the old statuses, great. How do you then insert them into your existing instance? You can't just repost them because they'll appear with new timestamps (bad). You can't just repost them with old timestamps because servers and clients assume "just arrived == now" (bad). If you're using sequential IDs on your status table, good luck with that because I'm pretty sure someone has taken the shortcut of using that instead of the timestamp. Assuming you can work all those out, now you need to update the old URLs in the follower timelines to point to the new URLs (unless we punt on this and just let the old timeline sit around as it.) Except you don't know who got those statuses when they were posted - the old instance would need to have kept all the queue records for every post and be willing to supply them to the new instance. Or you can "eh" that and send them out to the new followers (except we don't want to do that because it confuses current instances and clients to get old timestamps at a new time) but that doesn't mean everyone will be updated. Or you can try and persuade the old instance to redirect each old status to its new URL once you've updated the software and protocol and clients to allow for status redirection, obviously, and worked out how to verify that server X is actually allowed to redirect A@Y's old statuses and isn't some hijacker / spammer / whatever and ...

Don't know your exact timing but I run basically on Dells Latitude laptops for past 2 decades. Since its just for travel and not my primary workhorse, I buy used corporate ones for pittance (cca 300$ for models worth 1500 few years before), and swap battery myself for another original OEM one, they cost less than 100$ from original manufacturer. Its just 2-3 philips screws and 1 cable, anybody can do it. They last just as much as advertised on new ones and don't degrade much even after few years.

Batteries (and ie chargers) are one of the things that's utterly idiotic to shop around on chinese portals. You literally always get what you pay for (or worse) and can't punch above this threshold.

Also in the UK we have pedestrian refuge islands. Not a crossing, as there is no pedestrian priority, but useful little bits of road furniture that reduces the likelihood of getting mown down by cars. As a side effect they also tend to slow down car traffic due to narrowing of the road. Americans may see them as official jaywalking points.

> crossing between intersections because it is vastly safer than crossing at intersections

It's true in most city streets because even if cars drive faster outside of intersections, if we walk fast and have good visibility then it's not an issue.

There are very busy roundabouts with crosswalks right next to them.

You're missing the point, news never affect prices directly. News generate excess (compared with current price) supply or demand, which is the primary cause for price changes. In a certain way, it's always "market reacting to itself".
There is no ambiguity here, if you don't have the right of way you will be liable if something happens. But "something happening" will likely have to be more than just disrupting an SUV driver going at 50mph by making him slow down a bit.

I’ve found the best way to deal with TZ conversions, is to use UTC as a common fulcrum.

I convert the target TZ to UTC, using my local utility, then use my local TZ utility to convert from UTC to local.

But I write iOS software, so I have very solid local tools at hand. It might be more problematic, on, say, a webserver.

On a related note, I wrote this utility[0], some time ago. It uses the TZ map from the TZ Boundary Builder project[1].

I grew up in Southern California. My parents strictly observed traffic laws, and riding in the car with them, I would often hear their disapproving gossip about pedestrians' faux pas, including wearing black at night.

In high school, a classmate tried to help me loosen up a bit, and he'd encourage our group to cross a busy stroad. "They'll stop! They'll stop for you!" he assured me. He was right...

I visited Catalonia awhile ago. My companion was a native there and helped me understand local customs. I was able to drive her car a little bit, LHD, although the roundabouts tended to bewilder me. On foot, we'd approach a busy street and she encouraged me to just cross. She showed me how to hold out a hand as a signal of my intent. Motorists would slow and yield. She was also right.

I heard that the walk signal buttons are called "beg buttons", as in "pedestrians beg to enter the street". I use them scrupulously. My justification is that a theoretical personal injury lawsuit is easier to litigate, if I can prove I was doing everything right.

Using the right tools at the right place is part of it: cars are useful for some trips, less for others. Trying to solve every transportation problem with a unique solution was IMHO the original sin of this.

> Pedestrians are more nimble

Think kids going to school and elderlies. Having something that work for them requires either putting the burden on cars or removing cars from the picture. One costs a lot more than the other, and in the case you want to keep cars in cities the former is probably more attractive than the latter.

Similar to me. Friends and relatives.

I had similar results exploring hash tables for a nearly identical task here[0].

- Uneo Park and the Tokyo National Museum.
- Tokyo Metropolitan Edo-Tokyo Museum (and I've heard great things about the open-air take on this museum in the suburbs ... which could be a better option since the former I just saw is being renovated).

And on the other side of the country, don't miss Kyoto. Just came back from there, and I'm not sure I've ever fallen in love with a city faster.

But above all, I adore just walking around any city, aimlessly, and exploring whatever I stumble upon. Turn into a temple, walk through a random neighborhood grocery store, delight in the ordinary-for-here that's not-so-ordinary for elsewhere.
