Here's an opinion on it. Haven't gone out and done my own validation, or checked other sources, but it'll give you somewhere to start https://youtu.be/oG19fCFSamQ

I'm going to waste an inordinate amount of time today finding things I find offensive in VScode and ticketing them for removal.

I second the motion to remove the GP for offensive language associations.

60% of the user base didn't know it existed. 25% could have liked it, 14% could have been indifferent. But this one guy is "offended" because Christmas (the celebration of the birth of a Jew named Jesus of Nazareth) "kil

Oh very much so. For different stated reasons, but "government" (sometimes wearing the mask of religion) has always wanted to control behavior, and as a subset, morality.

They didn't invade immediately. And yes, it ultimately drove the west to start developing it's own oil resources and become less reliant on OPEC products, but that worked in the wests favor, as you would expect internal developmen

(3n+1)/2 is always greater than n, yes, but you'd need to find a loop where you're always alternating 3n+1 and n/2 to reach a rate of increase which could not be overcome. Which I take to mean that if n/2 occurs &gt

The only way to grow infinitely is to hit more odd numbers than even, but you're hitting even at least 50% of the time. And eventually you'll get a number 2^n x N which will string together multiple divisions. So you're hit

And since 3n+1 will never be prime, you'll eventually reach a number which has factors which converge to 2^n

by huffmsa 7y ago
But you'll always reach a previously seen number because 3n+1 will never be a prime number.

Had the same thought further down the comments. Since you're getting even numbers at least 50% of the time, eventually you should go on a run. You also benefit from hitting a y =2^n x N number because you get to greatly reduced the s

But it's 3n+1, so you're always getting an even number 50% of the time. And for every number you hit along the way, assuming you make it down to 1, you can stop your iteration if you've previously seen the number

The question as I, not a mathematician, read it is > For a given number, can using the operations 3n+1 and n/2 make it converge to a value of 2^i Because that's what you need. If you can get on the 2^i branch, you've w

Will definitely result in managerial approval of the design, but not necessarily a good design.

People maybe, but institutions and organizations go the other way. Human capital turnover, market trends, butterflies in Thailand all conspire to foil grand organizational visions.

But in the end it doesn't sound like they shipped the configurability features, just the Jobs UI. So the the moral here is "if you work for Steve Jobs, let him do the designs."

5 and 10 year plans are always over optimistic projections by people who can't deliver in the present to reassure investors faith. They might ship 1.4nm, but it has a good chance of having Soviet tractor quality.

I don't think Amazon pays the FedEx Kinko's rates for their prime shipments. And I believe a friend's law firm has a bulk deal because of how much next day mail they need to send.

Traffic lights are more akin to the latency of hardware switches, which affect everyone. FedEx does control which locations they stop at and make pickups/dropoffs. You can pay more to make sure they only stop with you.

And FedEx had a huge initial capital investment to buy the planes and pilots they needed. $50m-ish I think in 70s-80s money before they even shipped a package. And they still barely made it off the starting line.

by huffmsa 7y ago
But if the higher latency traffic is asynchronous, like an email, then it simply doesn't need the same prioritization as the low-latency traffic. And those FedEx planes could slow down the USPS traffic, more FedEx planes means more las

Or the Chicago expressway. You get the convenience of skipping local roads (and a higher likelihood of getting shot than driving through Baghdad, but that's a digression), but it costs $5-6 to use the road. That sounds like a physical

If that were true then no one would have entered against USPS in the first place. No one would have taken on IBM
