oh wow, what a trustworthy source of information this human written article is.
Handling of "to" is a bit odd though.
150 kn in km/h [277.79976 kph] - this is unit convertion
150 kn to km/h [-276.79976 kph] - this is unexpectedly subtraction. I expected the unit conversion here, because of Raycast and Google
it sounds like greed, not incompetence.
I just do not believe in a worldview where almost all CEOs of large tech companies are incompetent. Whatever the explanation for layoffs is, incompetence ain't it.
Still, people are almost everywhere.
It is harder to get funds from foreign clients, primarily because customers are wary of paying money to a russian company (because of hackers and scammers, i think). But you can solve it by registering a US company.
There is a "local market" trap: Russian market is obviously smaller than US one, but still large enough to be considered as a viable single option. That's why many russian companies go solely for the russian market, and that's why companies from Belarus or Ukraine (where local market is not large enough) are often focused on US/Europe from the start.
As for the recent events, I am not a fan, and hope that the situation resolves peacefully.
More nuance: - hashmap may be resized if it's over capacity, the resize may cause a latency spike.
- hashmap is essentially a single random memory access, tree is a couple of accesses but they are not random
- tree is a bit like a sorted array with fast inserts/deletes. Some trees, like leveldb, are in fact sorted arrays (plus some tricks, of course)
- if you use b-tree, you are more memory-efficient (but less cpu efficient), and access to nearby elements is almost free. That's why b-trees are used to store data in a permanent memory
- there are many other tree variants, each of them with different trade-off
Technically, you can squeeze out some bits: there are 36-37 possible characters of which you are using only 32, so with arithmetic coding you would be looking at about 1 extra bit for 5 characters, but it's a nightmare to code. And after those extra bits run out, you will get the same problem anyway.
2) Why would you want to do that? You'd use bitmap index because it's quite compact and you can process the data at the speed of memory bandwidth, using ascii defeats that, no?
3) Not really. I just can't imagine costs of running any large website or app with serverless.
4) I think it's the same in the US - everyone competes for the same talent with FAANG (MAANG?). The salary gap between big companies and startups is even lower in Russia. Also, we humans want to do meaningful things, some of us struggle to find meaning in being another bigco employee.
5) Py

i wonder if it's a coincidence?
And I have no idea how to use emacs. Is there any helpful user manual? Should i give up on magit?
It seems that authors of the article how "facebook can ban you for whatever reason" banned whole country.
It seems to me that big techs acted against Parler not because it represented a threat to them, but because of emotional reasons. "It was the right thing to do" or something like that. If they acted for business reasons, it would likely be slow and gradual, not "like a pack of wolves hunting down a rabbit".
> The days of downloading source code from sourceforge anonymously are long gone.
I can't believe that author is deeply concerned about centralized github but an the same time feels nostalgia about centralized sourceforge. At least github does not spread bundleware.
Notes&todo app. You write everything like it's a document, and then view/change todo items on a kanbad-like board.
I would love to hear some feedback.
But you can't sell apps when you switch platforms, so not really sure how this country/state analogy helps
You can then define somemethod for other data types, without touching the original definition, and that makes your new definition available to the other code that used the original somemethod. It is a unique feature of Julia (at least unique in a sense that it is absent from mainstream languages)
The feature is called "baseline" everywhere in the text, not "preloading feature", and that's why i got confused.
For example, "As expected, when I start uno with the baseline and don’t do anything with my laptop, it is almost silent since everything that comes in has been seen before."
So, i did all that and downloaded the tool and run that command and found out that the feature is "experimental" and not included in the binaries. It's a bit strange: the tool got my attention, and i was ready to experiment, but i couldn't.
If the reason is that it's a paid or saas only feature, that's totally fine but i think authors should make it a bit more obvious from the web page. Otherwise, i'd suggest to put "experimental" binaries there, too.
