Not just inefficient, it was a large scale industrial accident. A canal wall was breached and not repaired for two years and the runoff all collected in this low lying area. It’s a very odd place to visit now though for marketing reasons they tried to make it into a resort destination before it became a place you can only tolerate for a very short time.

I have never heard of “material footprint” and from the definition it seems entirely worthless. The article doesn’t start with any reason why anyone would be interested in this measure, just that comment it is starting to show up in reports.

This post’s conclusions are odd. It has a bunch of extensive benchmarks showing that zstd is by far the worst performing across every metric except a slight increase in compression ratio and then says the conclusion is zstd is the best choice. Unless I’m missing something in the data.

Its entire purpose is an optimization. You have an expensive operation. A bloom filter can tell you that you definitely don’t need to do that operation. So rather than wasting a lot of time unnecessarily doing that operation, you get the cheap Bloom filter Che most of the time and only occasionally have the false positive where you do the expensive thing when it turns out you didn’t need to. That as far as I am aware of is the only use case for a bloom filter. That said, I have used it for that purpose effectively several times in my career.

That is the standard acronym for the course in American universities and has been for many decades.

The main issue with a premix is like the article. It’s fit for a single purpose. I only make pancakes from scratch, admittedly I use baking powder and regular whole milk instead of buttermilk and baking soda. But the benefit is those staple ingredients can be used for all sorts of other recipes. I’m not going to bread chicken with Krusteaz. A premix can’t be adjusted either such as for altitude. Premixes and single use kitchen gadgets are areas where corporations really seem to have done a good job marketing that their products are more convenient than the readily available alternatives.

This is such a weird example. Doctors are a professions with artificial limits specifically to raise the income of doctors in the profession. There are no starving doctors because they don’t let enough people become doctors to lower the wage.

A big part of that is “I will save you X” is a non-starter. That is not making the business more money. If you have something that will actually make the business more money then they will go “Great if I pay you twice as much will it make me 2X?” and if the answer is yes, that will be a sale every time.

The first sentence of the article explains that this is about management and strategic consulting.

I think the false advertising does great disservice to Clair Obscur. It turns off people who don’t like turn-based combat and ends up disappointing people who do like turn based combat. I very nearly bounced from what is a great game because it was not at all what I was expecting with respect to combat.

Clair Obscur’s combat would be better described as dodge and parry based as that is the primary mechanic. In terms of lineage, the combat is much closer to PunchOut than Final Fantasy 6.

It’s really fun if that is what you are expecting though.

Yes. Very funny for the author to spend a lot of time talking about null hypothesis testing, but not actually running a control experiment to test the null hypothesis that his dice are actually different from the stock dice.

Theranos wasn’t a great idea or even a good idea. The “idea” was

1. Get a drop of blood 2. … 3. Cure all diseases

That’s not even an idea. It’s just magical thinking.

Undefined behavior to access the uninitialized memory. A sanitizer would have flagged that.

This is about go not Java. Go makes different tradeoffs and does not have moving multigenerational GC.
