Boolean arithmetic sometimes uses + for OR and * for AND. When considering only zero and non-zero values, the semantics are the same. 1 + 1 + 0 is non-zero, 1 * 1 * 0 is zero. Substitute + for OR and * for AND, and you wind up with the "same" result.

From the linked article:

> one is „and data“, the other is „or data“.

Structs/records/product types fit the description of "and data", because it's a compound value comprised of this type AND that type AND that other type, etc.

Unions/sum types fit the description of "or data" because it's either this type OR that type OR that other type.

Neither of these are really the places I look at when examining flame graphs. I tend to look at the bottom, and work my way up.

The key thing (imo) to look for are wide pieces that are not a core part of what the code you're profiling is supposed to do.

In the first example of your first link, you have a flame graph of code that seems to draw an image. There are a bunch of functions like 'CopyPixels' and 'RasterizeEdges'. Those seem to be a core part of drawing an image. In contrast, there's a 'KiPageFault' function that's pretty wide that does not seem to be important to the code's overall goal. I think a bit more context is needed to arrive at the author's conclusion, though.

I think flame graphs, like all graphs, are more helpful when the reader has a lot of context about what's supposed to happen, or some intuition about how the chart is supposed to look.

Reading about these with accompanying images of spaces or objects demonstrating the presence or absence of these properties is what made it stick for me.

However, to read only Meditations and go on to make claims about the philosophy as a whole is a bad idea that ignores hundreds of years worth of philosophers who also contributed to Stoicism.

For those interested in a more broad treatment of Stoicism, a wonderful follow-up to Meditations is Donald J. Robertson's Stoicism and the Art of Happiness

Are you sure? My understanding is that people who live in dense cities rely less on automobiles, have their waste treated more efficiently, and consume less energy per capita in order to enjoy clean air and water. Those factors are more important than the land mass required to feed someone.

I'm no expert, but my understanding is that more denser of paper (80 g/m^2 and up) take much better to fountain pen inks.

I swear by Clairefontaine and Rhodia notebooks and paper.

Meanwhile, I find it ironic that the same state enacting this "intellectual diversity" law has specifically banned teaching critical race theory in public schools.

A voluntary survey invites participation bias; respondents will likely skew heavily toward the "I feel I am being indoctrinated/I feel uncomfortable voicing my beliefs". The spirit of the law aside, this law looks like a lever to pull funding from universities where the median Floridian, who votes Republican, would feel like their views are being challenged.
