This was hard, but fun!

One suggestion: make empty spaces visually distinct from filled spaces. Why? Because cell 73 in the tenth puzzle (today's) is small enough that I completely overlooked it, and used faulty logic to deduce all but two spaces before I discovered it. I was ready to file a bug report!

Yes, the time complexity of m-cfa is polynomial.

See https://arxiv.org/pdf/1311.4231

I'll borrow a few choice pieces from the paper to try to explain why.

The main difference is that:

k-cfa is sensitive to the last k calls.

m-cfa is sensitive to the top m stack frames.

This turns out not equivalent: with k=1 vs m=1: a program where main calls a calls b. in k-cfa, the context will be the call to b. in m-cfa, the context will be the call to a.

How m-cfa came about and why it works:

k-CFA is EXPTIME-complete (so no polynomial algorithm can exist).

However, it was observed that there are plenty of provably k-cfa equivalent points-to for OO languages that ran in provably polynomial time (and none for functional languages). Diving into this caused folks to discover the difference between objects and closures matters a lot to the time-bounds, and led to the formulation of m-cfa.

Space complexity was never as much an issue as time complexity was, due to BDD's and other things.
"other than not to violate that right,"

we do not have the definitions of social rights then.

What we may have, is a different experience with people who will violate other people's "rights" through either inattention or malice. We also have cases where "rights" collide because of cultural differences (e.g., you may feel that you have the right to make fun of my religious figure and I feel that I have the right to decapitate you for doing so)

Thanks, that explains it. Coreutils certainly counts as "vitally important for the system’s operation"...

As one of the other replies (nested too deep to reply to directly) said, many of us were raised to be humble and self-effacing, especially about skills related to innate abilities like intelligence. So it feels unseemly to say, in essence, "Hey, you should hire me because I'm great at X, Y, and Z." It feels weird enough to list skills and accomplishments in a resume, but overtly selling yourself feels wrong.

Maybe people like us should team up in pairs and promote each other. I'd have no problem talking up a colleague I knew to be talented, far more forcefully than I'd ever do for myself.
I'd agree, except IMO the ranges are not 5-20 and 20+, but more like 1-10 and 10+.

I had sirius xm with a new car, I subbed for a year or two additional then cancelled as a cost savings when I got the axe at work. I still every few months or so maybe get my radio switched back to xm for an ad for another xm subscription.

As I've been resigned to the decline of civilization I just sort of noted that I had a few seconds worth of work added to my life in turning it off to the profit of someone else so it really isn't that bad I guess, especially as it only happens when starting the car which is the best case if it has to be that way.

This particular ad, at every stoplight well thats quite a bit worse in my opinion. I feel lucky now that its just sirius xm ads for me.
The road tax basis differs per country. Some are using CO2 per km, others weight, it depends.

Nope. I don’t know why the Java folks decided not to use the fairly standard verb “isolate” for this method, but that’s what it is[1]:

> public static int highestOneBit(int i)

> Returns an int value with at most a single one-bit, in the position of the highest-order ("leftmost") one-bit in the specified int value. Returns zero if the specified value has no one-bits in its two's complement binary representation, that is, if it is equal to zero.

There isn’t a straight floor(log2(·)) as far as I can tell, only Integer.numberOfLeadingZeros, and turning the former into the latter is annoying enough[2] that I wouldn’t prefer it here.

I think someone in OP’s situation is likely to have several friends and acquaintances that are at least engineering managers at this point in their career, who in many companies (not huge ones) can have a lot of influence over hiring. If you work in startups and stuff it’s highly possible that some friend or acquaintance is a founder that is currently hiring.

The main reason I’d second the advice to use their network is that I get tons and tons of unsolicited contact from developer contracting firms and basically don’t trust any of them. The only people I have contracted with are people I knew already and trusted. Also, if I did end up paying contract developers who I didn’t trust already, I’d still probably not be willing to pay any of them exceptionally unless they were a known entity, whereas someone I trust already would be less of a financial risk since I’d have a sense of what value they’d actually add.

Anyway, I think the answer to your problem is “build your network” but I always found that advice kind of silly. The actual valuable parts of your network are people who you’ve built relationships with while working, which is more of an incidental than deliberate process in most cases. I guess maybe you could be a little intentional about it though by carefully choosing where you work and who you work with, and how you engage with others at work.
Growing up in Southern California and New Mexico, the first exposure I had to systems like this was in Cities Skylines.

The land value would be determined by surveyors based on the characteristics of the plot itself, the values of the plots around it, and the values of similar kinds of plots elsewhere. So if you tried such a stunt it'd be pretty obvious because your plot would be a crazy outlier wrt everything around it for no good reason. Or you'd need to agree to some conspiracy with your neighbours to drive down the value. Of course this isn't a perfect system because surveyors can be wrong or corrupt. There would be a lot more litigation about fair land-values because more is at stake. This might or might not outweigh the reduction in legal fights over other kinds of taxes once LVT displaces them.

Another strategy is to make it so that if you want your land to be worth X for tax purposes, you're not allowed to refuse a good-faith offer to buy it for some multiple of X (plus the value of improvements). Although, this amounts to an expansion of the idea of eminent domain, which is politically difficult.

LVT is a dilution of what we currently understand as property rights. It would necessarily come with a lot more government oversight of what kinds of land sale agreements are legal, to prevent the kind of chicanery you mentioned. You wouldn't really "own" the land in the sense currently understood, it's more like "stewardship". You'd still own the things built on top of it though. I think this tradeoff is worth it (especially if other taxes are abolished), but it's important to admit the tradeoff exists and not everyone would like it.

> These passive custodian investor companies just vote along with the board's recommendation rather than making opinionated or activist decisions.

I don't know where you get that idea from. They own so many shares they have direct control over who gets appointed to the board, and unlike a small investor when these guys walk away with their money it hurts. I often see the news reports of them flexing their muscles in the board room.

It's true they probably don't have much to say about bets like 18A or corporate culture. But they will almost certainly be involved on the decision on if or when Intel will be split up - if only because these investors decide which, if any of the new entities they are prepared to fund.

I second "Modern C" by Jen Gustedt.

- Get the `cdecl` tool to build intuition about function signatures. What does "int( * ( *foo)(void))[3]" mean?

- Write it yourself.

- Be disciplined. Develop good hygiene with compiler flags, memory/address checks, and even fuzzing.

- Read good source code such as the linux kernel. This is an amusing header file from the git source code that defines some banned functions. This is wisdom if you choose to follow it: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/banned.h

- Push the language to its limits. Play with memory and data structures. Inspect everything. This book "Data-Oriented Design" by Richard Fabien is a great to explore as well. It's about organizing your data for efficient processing.
Agreed. They're a bit mental on "safety" but given that's not likely to be a real issue then they're fine.

Wow, so many weird things said so far in comments...

It is absolutely a good idea, but with some minor tweaks and for the right use case.

It's a great idea if you want to have modern hardware that is not very expensive and predictable media that will be readable after decades. And preferably a lot of pacience due to max 125GB on each disc, or low space size requirements. Discs ain't cheap, though!

For regular backups (even seldom, like half a year) I'd still go for HDDs, as they are available at around 13USD per TB. Also USB drive enclosures are as cheap as $20 so you can store them with drives. But drives will fail if you leave them with no power for a few years.

But if your archive is supposed to be one time (no often archival of the same content with minor changes), or you want to store that for many years, maybe decades, discs can be the easiest reliable way.

Standard discs won't guarantee longevity. They are sensitive to heat and moisture. Use m-discs for that. You can get them at 125GB for around $20 a piece. So MUCH more expensive than HDDs. But these will hold up for decades, don't mind humidity and even high heat.

Compatible drives are at around $100, like Verbatim I have. There are modern ones, still. With full power via USB-c, quiet, supported by popular software.

It's easy to store a drive (and even an old usff computer) in some box next to your discs, in your off-site place.

I find it more likely to be usable and better chance of being available after many years, compared to, for instance, decommissioned tape drive readers that some homelabers like to use. Also much cheaper.

Search for m-discs tests on YouTube. There are some hilarious tests there where a guy compares them with standard disks by leaving them outside during sun and rain for days, digging them in dirt, washing with soap like a plate, burning with cigarette lighter etc.

Spoiler alert: m-discs work like charm after that. Standard ones won't even spin properly.
