Strange to see a lock-free ring buffer without seeing mention of LMAX/Martin Thompson's Java Disruptor (https://github.com/LMAX-Exchange/disruptor)

Weird to see this here! I've used CoralBlocks in the low-latency trading domain previously. Highly recommend. The API is kind, they're very responsive, and the latency is exceptional (and comes with all the basics like thread pinning built-in for convenience)

The Dacia Sandero unfortunately gets a 2 star Euro NCAP rating (which is typical for Dacia cars). Not something I personally would feel safe putting my family into!

A year or so ago, my son needed a tool for making really simple minecraft plans. All the drawing tools out there he could find were overly complex or weren't 'quite right' for him, so I took the opportunity to learn some web and javascript stuff and made this: https://draw.pixelweasel.com/
One outstanding 'todo' was textures!
Then I wanted to make ASCII art automatically from any picture, so I played around and made this: http://ascii.pixelweasel.com/ (again, playing with javascript)

Super cool. Love the interface, was not expecting to be thrown back a few decades!
On mobile, I tried recording to /c/PepTalk, but after recording my voice, none of the buttons ('save', 'play' or 'stop') did anything. So I wasn't sure if it had actually uploaded.
Then when I went back to the /c/PepTalk channel to check I had a popup saying something like 'failed to fetch waves' (sorry, I don't recall the exact error message!).
I'll keep an eye on this ongoing though, as I adore the concept.

Same boat here. Do we need a hiring market specifically for generalists?

That's a big part of it. But their scale and presence also means they get to do things that have been invaluable for us, like being able to book meeting rooms in and have access to other WeWork premises with low effort.

Spreadsheets are phenomenally flexible, but they obviously don't scale well or behave nicely with source control.
I work at Anaplan, and the most common way that our biggest customers discover us is when they've been bitten by spreadsheets as they've scaled, and now they have users emailing spreadsheets around and someone with a full time job collating them.
We've modelled the product around the flexibility, but rigor and scale on top of it.

I don't speak fluent maths, but i'm extremely interested. Is anyone in a position to explain what the initial equation for U(x) means?
I'll be in your debt forever!

It's interesting that the article doesn't delve into non-Asian martial arts like Krav Maga, which, in my limited experience, offers an extremely reductionist 'does it work' mentality.
Interesting also that the gold standard of the article is 'in the ring'. I would have thought messy 'real world' combat is gold standard (but obviously less reproducible, from the science perspective). Additionally, multiple opponents.
