How often do you care about the order in which objects are dropped?

Do you mean solar energy sources? Wind turbines have plenty of "spinning mass"...

Using more than one Github account violates their ToS though.

Are you suggesting end-to-end encryption? Telecom providers have to implement "lawful intercept" interfaces to comply with the law in many jurisdictions.

It uses pyo3 to generate the bindings, so you would have to find a similar crate for F#/.NET and port the polars Python FFI to it. If such a crate does not exist, it will be even more work.

Open Source works best for building blocks of software, not for end products. Companies have incentives to share their libraries and tooling, not so much for the final product like a CAD program.

Not sure what you mean by "sourced through the employer". Usually you need to have enough qualification and a job offer to apply for a work visa that is bound to the employing company for two years. Switching jobs requires reapply

I don't think this is the same. Does it also cover transitive dependencies?

Not all potential null dereferences are covered by the verifier, they even give an example where the rule is not triggered, but null may be dereferenced by the code.

I don't think you can define the reals as a mapping from natural numbers, reals are famously not countable.

I think there is a component of memorizing solutions. For example, for mathematical proofs there is a set of standard "tricks" that you should have memorized.

In Monte Carlo simulations you usually don't care about predictability (so using a non-CSPRNG is fine), but statistical bias may compromise your results. But I agree that a CSPRNG should be the default.
47.
by whyever 2y ago
You will still get better results when avoiding the bias, even with a non-CSPRNG. Their bias is much smaller. Avoiding the division can be faster, especially if you sample many numbers from the same range. But it depends on the use case.

You can calculate the probabilities and expected number of collisions analytically, but evaluating the expressions numerically is tricky for large numbers. I can recommend https://herbie.uwplse.org/ to rewrite the expressio

Nowadays, your operating system has a dedicated API for providing randomness (e.g. `getrandom` on Linux), so you would just use that to seed your RNG. Using the time is questionable, because an adversary can often estimate when the RNG was

Don't use a non-CSPRNG if you worry about adversaries. CSPRNGs are only ca. 10 times larger and roughly as fast if you can use SIMD. According to [1], you only need 4 outputs to predict xoshiro. Predicting PCG is a bit more difficult,

I don't think GDPR is that different in that regard, you also have to minimize access to PII within the organization. See Article 25: > The controller shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures for ensuring th

AFAIK, even using a UUID is still considered PII if it uniquely identifies the user.

Please don't use % to generate integers from a range, it's not uniform, which can be disastrous if you rely on your numbers not being predictable. You can use crypto.randomInt instead.

They say it's twice as fast/cheap, which might matter for your use case.

> Without one any language's type system will feel more frustrating than it's worth, since you won't get inline error messages either. I disagree, for me the integration with the editor mostly shortens feedback cycles, and

Rust also has traits, and no struct inheritance. I think it works quite well.

My guess: If you run the benchmark several times, the OS will cache the file in RAM.

That's a known problem and somewhat mitigated by symengine: https://github.com/symengine/symengine

Why are you calculating the Jacobian symbolically? AFAIK, for complex cases, the numerical Jacobian is often faster / more numerically stable.

Not sure what you mean with GUI, but you can use it with Jupyter notebooks.
