I don't think it's about tax advantages but flexibility for the conpany. RSUs usually vest over several years. If times get tough you can slow/stop buybacks. Eventually that would have an effect on the price from dilution but

IIRC we used -ffast-math for numerical simulations of radar cross sections. Fast math was a decent perf win but didn't have any negative effects on the results. Most programs don't care about the difference between ((a+b)+c) vs (a

But the tool that jepsen uses to check whether a schedule is serializable would still be useful for any database that supports concurrent operations.

Regarding hunger, it only takes a week or two of changing your eating pattern to have your brain realize that your old mealtime is no longer mealtime. After that you won't get a spike in hunger from "skipping" what used to be

Thank you for this. I was in this exact position once, where a better offer came along just after I had accepted. Honestly, if the original company had matched (or gotten very close to) the better offer I would have still gone there since i

AFIACT Tether doesn't even aspire to any fixed time frame for redemptions, so it's even easier than a typical money market scenario. If all their assets were 30 day treasuries or shorter you don't even need to sell them - jus

Yeah the article suggests doing bilateral concentric then unilateral eccentric, but that doesn't seem very practical as you point out. Many movements have other ways to cheat the concentric using momentum though. For example with a bic

The author passed the input as &[char] not &str, so indexing is no problem. That's weird in its own right, but obviously not the core of the post.

1. Change ... so that foobar(9) instead prints "yam". 2. Change ... so that foobar(9) also prints "yam" 1 is not ambiguous, but 2 is. It could mean that it does it's original behavior and also does the new behavior.

More like ambiguity. Because of the "also", one could easily expect the resulting output for foobar(9) to print: baloney yam

If the thread you are on doesn't modify the variable (e.g. by const_cast), and that variable isn't atomic or volatile, the compiler should be allowed to treat it as invariant. Whether it does in practice probably depends on a lot

US treasuries are sometimes called "return-free risk". It seems pretty clear that the US government is borrowing unsustainably high amounts. We can't keep this pace of borrowing up for very long. So either the government star

I guess for large data centers they could use multiple IPs and the overall scheme stays essentially the same, but the article seems to strongly imply that it is one single egress IP per DC. The 64k simultaneous connections limitation is onl

Yep, it can happen that your packet gets routed to a different DC from a prior packet. But the routers in between the client and the anycast destination will do the same thing if the environment is the same. So to get routed to a new locati

Not in the stdlib, but it exists elsewhere, such as folly::Synchronized. There are some gotchas but it's a LOT better than a separate mutex and data. The main gotcha is instead of for (auto foo : bar.wlock()) { baz(foo); }

If you are looking to catch only checked exceptions of unknown type, it's easy enough to first catch and rethrow Error and RuntimeException, and then catch Exception and do whatever. The hierarchy is garbage, but at least it's f

You don't need to use it directly for it to play an important role. If you have the green hydrogen you can convert it to methane or ammonia, which have less issues in storage and transport. Methane is already widely used for bus transp

Honestly I think most managers would rather lose someone with 1 year tenure than 5 years. One year is plenty of time to make many meaningful contributions, especially if the employee is already experienced. You might not get the super deep

IANAL but I think if they knew the statements were false (or with reckless disregard for the truth) then it would be slander. This is the "actual malice" standard. But in this case it seems absurdly unlikely that Niemann could p

Alternatively, you can pass the things you would have captured instead as arguments to the lambda (by value!) and they are valid for the duration of the coroutine. So you can do a lambda returning a coroutine lambda like task<Foo>

It's all products at the edge, as opposed to the other clouds where most of the products are delivered in big data centers. So unlike lambda where you have 20ish regions, you have 100s of POPs for cloudlare workers. But because of that

Only because energy (which is more volatile) is way down the last two months. What happens when energy swings back the other way? Anyways 0.6% MoM for all items less food and energy is very far from success.
