Is for pay transparency. And in the vast, overwhelming percentage of the time, an employer knows precisely what they're planning to pay for a role, with extremely little variance. These cherry picked examples don't really mean a lot.
As to your imaginary firm not hiring in "CA, CO or WA", absolutely nothing was lost by the residents of those states.
The US has a population density 1/15th India's. It's high time for a billion Indians to move to the US.
"Why are women and children on a troop transport?" is a natural next question, and apparently they were family of senior officers.
Elon is constantly leveraging the "for the children" cover for his petulance.
It's notable that legally Firaxis (and the other sleazy scumbags) largely have no legal basis, but nvidia decided not to make enemies and let them do this.
As a result, I have bought no additional Civ expansions, and will never buy another Firaxis game.
Domains go into a redemption period because they expire. Having a card or paypal on file is meaningless if you don't have auto-renew.
People lie. People lie all the time, and always spin the story to somehow make them the blameless victim.
As others have said, I cannot fathom how having to babysit an occasionally suicidal driving system is better than having no system at all. It seems perfectly balanced at the absolutely worst point of both being reliable enough that you stop paying attention, but unreliable enough that it catches you not paying attention.
If an FSD system really let me sit and watch a movie or read or book or something -- if it was that good -- then I 100% get it and would be signed up. But one that you have to babysit seems worse than pointless.
There are many things I like. There are many things I don't. Not least that everything is a 20+ minute drive away. Everything feels entirely remote.
Now add endless ticks (for some reason worse than ever the past two years), black flies, mosquitoes, wasp nests appearing everywhere, the stink of farm fields, closer still the stink of septic beds (whenever a low pressure system rolls in you smell the septic tanks. And to be clear, this is an area of very high end homes all on massive lots). Every storm is a power outage, requiring eventually equipping a whole house generator. Every snow storm is a disaster. Grounds maintenance is an endless pit of effort. The streets are barely wide enough for cars so a walk feels like a death defying activity, and almost no one actually does it. The trail is always incredibly busy.
Before we lived here we lived in a small home across from a grocery store shopping complex in an urban area. The backyard was tiny and we had nosey neighbours who'd hang over the fence and watch what you were doing. You'd hear the endless rattle of crapbox Civics with noise-making mufflers, blasting the bassline of some rap.
I enjoyed living in that tiny house way, way more. I loved just walking across the street early Sunday morning, while everyone slept, and smelling all the freshly baked goods, getting a croissant fresh from the oven. A five minute walk yielded parks, trails, pizza places, sushi, and everything else.
I have no idea why I posted this, but happiness in life really isn't as easily assessed as we often think. There are many who would be absolutely certain that their life would be nothing but bliss if they lived where I did. Humans don't work like that.
It is astonishing reading like Safari is some derelict junk when the edges are laughable trivial stuff. "But it doesn't support some random, irrelevant standard Google tried to railroad through last month..."
They also had to get verified as a mid-sized or greater corporation (Apple does use real verification partners), and further Apple can pull the rug on the certificate in an instant, immediately invaliding that $299 certificate and the considerable effort that went into getting it.
In reality this group likely had to hack an existing Apple Enterprise approved business first, then using that to springboard to the next step.
Casually dismissing that enormous gate is pretty tenuous.
Often the loudest fear mongering occurs by the hoarders (digital or otherwise) who think they are amassing some grand asset pile.
I buy a game, play a game, and then often never play it again ever. I'm not scared about the prospect of losing access to it years down the road.
The code could have made the type-specific sort macros. They could have literally written the code blocks in the actual sort function.
Instead they decided to make it separate functions and mark it inline because that is their overt intention and they thought it was cleaner.
What is the problem? Honestly, aside from noisy, useless griping, what is possibly the problem with that?
Their implication seems to be that inline shouldn't be necessary. And the truth is that it almost certainly isn't necessary, and any optimizing compiler would inline regardless. But clarifying their intentions is precisely what developers should do: "We're moving it here for organizational/cleanliness purpose, but it is intentionally written this way to be inlined because that is the entire point of this optimization".
As to the "unprofiled" use, their specific optimization was because they know the time being wasted in function calls, and the optimization was to avoid that.
That goes exactly opposite of this optimization, and is just entirely orthogonal.
> It's also super disappointing that in 2022 we're still manually marking 10- line functions used in one place and called from one site as inline.
You misunderstand the change.
In a nutshell the prior version was a polymorphic function pointer that varied by the sort type.
(*sort_ptr)(data);
Their change adds specialized cases.
if (dataType == PG_INT32) {
sort_int32(data);
} else if (dataType == PG_INT64) {
sort_int64(data);
} ... {
} else {
(*sort_ptr)(data);
}
They were used to bully people and diminish voices. It was a completely toxic element of the system. No, it isn't dumb corporate videos (who were prone to just hiding it at the outset, making the trolls hulk smash and angrily declare that unfair) that they're defending, and that notion is pretty comically dumb.
This whole post and the noise around this issue is so absurd. YouTube isn't worse because a bunch of ignorant assholes can't bully gay and minority people, or ply their misogynistic or backwards ways. There are loads of easy ways to automate videos and basically spam YouTube, and the system hasn't overcome that yet. Visible downvotes would do nothing when these players are uploading literally millions of videos.
The original discussion. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way the Casey individual approaches it. At all. And yes it is simple. If your basic text terminal gets 30 FPS on modern hardware (or worse), you have started with a bad foundation. That is just gross.
The NYT commentary is a bit hilarious as you see that claim on here daily, repeatedly.
Hot takes like yours are what make HN a hilarious joke to the rest of the world. Embarrassing.
Any framing that posits that Google is benevolently "sending traffic" betrays that it should be discarded at the outset. Google (like Facebook and most other "make money on your content" empires) desperately tries to send as little traffic as possible to anyone, which is why they have AMP, scrape content and provide a dubious "expert engine", and provided a news dashboard where they summarized every news site.
I see this same ludicrous argument made re: Facebook. When Facebook temporarily blocked news, downloads of news site apps rose dramatically. It turns out that they weren't helpful whatsoever to anyone. They are a desperate suckerfish just trying to live off of the creation of other people.
In a discussion once about viral diseases there was a discussion about RNA versus DNA viruses, so I searched up various viruses included HIV and Herpes, reading about how DNA viruses hide in the body. Now on Facebook my ads are 50% HIV/AIDS medications.
I bought a soundbar at Best Buy, so the other 50% of the ads are bizarre Best Buy soundbars, primarily the exactly model I already bought. To make it doubly detrimental for Best Buy, I occasionally click the ad to see if the price has changed.
The myth about the useful, relevant ads seems like it doesn't share a lot with reality. While my example is an anecdote, can anyone seriously saying that ads have actually been useful or relevant? When I'm not blocking them they seem to overwhelmingly be things I've already bought and services I already use.
The ad industry seems to be overwhelmingly a lie that we've all bought into. The personalized ad industry seems like a grotesque abuse under a promise that it never actually delivers.
On HNs it is normal to denigrate the "MSM" while cheering on some blogger and his completely unsubstantiated claims. Attacks on the press, because there's a strong Trump contingent here that have an issue with reality and fact having an "anti-Trump bias", are cheered on.
It isn't surprising at all.
Far inferior becomes....actually superior in many cases, even at SIMD.
The M1 has 128-bit NEON SIMD, and given its decode pipeline and cache efficiency it seems more likely to actually benefit entirely from it. AVX on Intel devices is often of limited value because it's either memory starved or gets throttled (many SKUs throttle once you start using AVX).
I've had cases where vectorizing ongoing sequential processing in the most optimal fashion available barely gave a single digital percentage increase. 9 times out of 10 it's snake oil.
But regardless, if there's an example that would make the M1 look bad, do it.
