It's also not clear that a better filter will result in a substantial improvement for SQLite. If the improvement is on the order of a tens or hundreds of nanoseconds per a query, that's nothing compared to hitting disk. Edit: I gu

Looks like most countries are up on 4th grade math, and quite a few are down or flat on 8th grade math. My sense is in 8th grade math, countries below a certain performance level are able to increase performance, while countries above a cer

Which is another way of saying that there's nothing being done about inequality, the problem is worsening. Hard to teach poor kids, hard for kids to get out of poverty when the government literally removes anti-poverty measures because

Look out for Long COVID for which there are no approved treatments and a high incidence of between 5-20% only slightly modified by vaccination.

You're right that we are in the zone of intense cognitive dissonance right now. COVID is everywhere but no one does anything. People that don't protect themselves by wearing respirators and cleaning the air will likely pay a price

It's strange that none of these companies will include a closable cover for the camera. I got one aftermarket. It is very reassuring since no hacking or accidental misclicks on my part can move the cover.

Is it more democratic to let the majority be oppressed by a tiny property holding parasitic class or is it more democratic to repress them and express the interests of the majority? Bear in mind when you answer that scientific surveys show

tbqh, first if the insinuation is that China is not democratic, that is only true in the sense it is not a liberal democracy with a conservative wing represented (a good thing), but it is still a democracy with elections. secondly, if peopl

gotta say, having written some scientific computing code, the libraries out there do not always cover the exact operation you need and are not always using the best algo in the literature. i was able to beat the existing ecosystem 6x head t

They are, but China regularly dispossesses them and sometimes executes them, so the communist party, with huge popular membership, is in control.

i think you mean war-hawk capitalists, this taxpayer thinks cooperation is fine

by tehjoker 2y ago
basically, it sounds like the U.S. should not treat China as a competitor and we should cooperate. this insane hypercompetition for literally no reason (other than US capitalists wanting to remain dominant) is going to destroy us all.

tabs are not great in Python because they can hide spaces, and that causes the code to break. in other code? i guess tabs are nicer because people can size them as they like on their devices.
