6 million dollars in conferences sounds like a lot? Are they holding the conference?

The C macro systems never last. Just write it! It’s no harder than a for loop.

Yes it was an analogy about measuring two unrelated things.

This is just dumb. You wanted to improve performance but measured memory instead? Whoops. Why not measure performance for which there are many good metrics.

If you aren’t willing to change the system (have no business reason to) then you can’t implement or benefit from any new paradigms or advice and are necessarily bound by prior decisions.

The fallacy is assuming it takes more work to get good performance. When what’s really lacking is clarity about the problem and solution. Optimizing code for max performance does take work. But just not doing incredibly dumb things and writ

That quote mostly applies to human organizations where the connection between outcome and metric is questionable. Or where incentives unexpectedly change behavior. If your goal is fast software it can be measured quantively and you’re likel

Cases where your cpu work is not a step in that pipeline are rare. (Cannot be parallelized)

Bottleneck is a misleading word here. Yes the network is slow. But you can still save 200ms in response time by working on your CPU.

No they don’t. Because the small sellers don’t make much money.

Engineers and scientists would like to imagine our society operates off a specification. But laws are only justifications for what people in power want to do. All of what you’re talking about reinforces the myth that the text matters and is

It sounds like you’re saying “sophisticated marketing”. Can you distinguish that from marketing that say McDonald’s does towards kids?

The comment above says that Facebook “raped” children’s minds. When really it failed to protect children from the dangers of the internet. The dishonesty of not acknowledging the existing problems with the internet, suggests we are trying t

That’s not what the comment I’m replying to says.

Doesn’t Facebook invest a significant part to protect their brand by limiting and censoring content? Last I checked Facebook didn’t have Rotten content on it.

by groundzeros2015 1mo ago
Are we going to pretend that internet did not expose inappropriate content to children prior to Facebook?

Containers and VMs are well supported.

That’s great. They still don’t have 1950s ethics around organizational membership. To give one example. The Boy Scouts is a relatively tame org. It has different offices, voting, treasury, awards, oaths, meeting notes. All of that is basica

Because of the level of commitment, loyalty, and group sacrifice expected. The article isn’t about subject matter. Virtual communities require no group sacrifice. You join the lobby and you leave. Maybe there are some niche WOW guilds out t

That’s not what I’m referring to. Good writing is not limited to professional writers, and focus on the medium can often be a distraction from good ideas.

> None of those compare to cult shunning I absolutely disagree. I’ve seen cult shunning and if there is a version which has mass appeal now it’s politics.

by groundzeros2015 2mo ago
I think you’re correct that mainstream leaders of the parties try not to talk about each other in that way and mostly succeed. But I absolutely do know family members and friends treat it with that level of zeal.

by groundzeros2015 2mo ago
I have no sympathy for group bullying, hazing, or manipulation, but the concept of a cult seems to only be possible post-enlightenment. We say there is a secular society outside that we always need to preserve and that sets limits on the le

If that’s the definition both political parties are included.

> people who want to be writers but rarely read books. And I don't get it. Some of the best books are not from writers, but people who have something to say and writing happens to be a medium.

Trump grievance is allowed and the comments are extremely low quality.

Yes, friction like this. It’s just not a fully featured SQL implementation. As their saying goes, it competes with fopen not oracle.
