I can't speak for him, so for myself: some years ago I had to almost beg for a new disk for a server. A disk. I didn't even bother to ask if we could have a bigger server, no point trying.

$340,800/year. If that doesn't make a material difference to your company or department you've never worked where cash is tight. More bluntly: you've been spoilt with excess resources. That's a lot of cash to waste

Depends... set the pagefile to something large, run the program. If it doesn't thrash too hard you can observe it to its largest growth. You'd probably want an SSD. Maybe that would work. Maybe.

Well, read this < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_of_indigenous_peoples... >. It's not very long. Genocide is discussed, depending on defintions of it. Some say genocide, some say it wasn't. I'

So what are the $%^&* semantics we're supposed to build into the language to avoid the need for speculation via OOO exec and branch prediction. Because as a guy interested in languages you might have something to teach me, assuming

I'm one of those and rather unsure of its value. The original reason is the modelling of the program as a reducible graph (if I'm not getting confused with other stuff). I occasionally have a couple of returns in one func but only

Aztecs weren't charming in this regard and by that probably sowed the seeds of their own defeat by pushing other tribes to support the invading spaniards, but the conquistadors went in for full on genocide, totally deliberately.

Right. I'm a brit - now that should make it clearer - I'm not on that continent. If you were, yes, I can see your point, there should by my argument be more exposure therefore uderstanding. And there was no education about aztecs,

This surprises me as I read a lot about Aztecs and their iconography was described by an expert as 'dense and obscure' and i never found good examples of any of it, so this is ... interesting. Some doubts, the 'blood drops&#x

Thanks. I'd be very interested. I originally had added the HAVING clause to nastify it further, because this would cause values to appear and disappear, so to handle that you (probably?) have to materialise the entire result of the GRO

There are too many questions here. What does it not do? What's the overhead of monitoring the main DB and how's it done - triggers? Does it need schema changes? What about race conditions - can you guarantee none? What's the

Get beyond a certain size of python program and you lose dev time. IOW you lose both. It's not a huge size either.

Welcome to being me decades ago - except I was even crapper. 1st off, don't fret too much. Some people learn x and think they know it all. You and I learn x and realise we don't know a, b, c, d... and lose confidence. Don't.

Depends. In the first it will depend on the branch predictor which will depend on the relative expected magnitudes of num and x In the 2nd, which I assume should be { return num*num > x * x; } then it depends on the micro-arch,

Questions, then, genuine interest in how you see this (not looking for flames). What is wrong with judging then by the standards of now ? If we did as you seem to suggest and not judge, wouldn't that negate the ability to learn from
