Oh boy...

edit: One issue might be they fear that bad news will lead to a knee jerk reaction that gets them or their teammates fired. They should feel comfortable to encounter problems and openly discuss them in the open with out fear of repercussions. In fact, I would argue this is one of the major advantages of a team; pooling collective knowledge and abilities. If people fear honest communication then the performance of the team is impacted. The manager has the greatest ability to fix this, IMHO...

For example:

1. When n is small, an array is almost always better. Arrays have very little overhead compared to even a hash map.

2. Algorithms with the same O() may still have significant differences at runtime and might be balanced differently between insert and search times. AVL trees take longer than Red Black trees to insert, but might be 1 level better in height. That means one less access. Useful for a routing table, for example.

So, in summary, if your looking at other people’s code and see lots of arrays don’t get too smug…n is usually small.

It was just hanging off the OBD2 port, so if you're concerned about it when leasing or buying a new car then just make sure to check that port.

I still have it in a box somewhere. I'm not sure if there's anything interesting that can be done with it...

[edit: minor grammar]

"During its initial committee hearing, sponsoring state Rep. Mary Young, D-Greeley, said allegations of neglect or lack of supervision have been on the rise in Colorado, even as the number of substantiated cases are dropping. In 2019, there were 3,854 allegations of lack of supervision; 82%, or 3,169, were unfounded, she said."

edit: more context to quote

E=mc^2, or energy = mass * (speed of light)^2. According to Wikipedia a candle can produce 77 watts of energy "combined." I guess that means 77 joules (1 watt = 1 J/s). So we have:

77 = m * (299792458)^2

Solving for m via Wolfram Alpha:

m = 11 / 12839369696240252

Which is in grams. That's a _very_ small amount, but it's not zero.

edit:

[1] If I'm being honest, I got E=mc^2 from watching the Twilight Zone as a kid, not college physics.

In certain contexts saving a node transversal will have a meaningful impact on performance.

Indeed, this says no:

Also, I’m sure FB is only piling on because of the privacy changes to iOS which harm FB’s core advertising business. FB would charge 30% in a heart beat.

Again, I would do away with the 30% fee, but please find me someone other than Facebook to feel sorry for.

I know insurers have apps that you can install on your phone or ODBC modules you can install. Does anyone know of any way to collect this data privately without reporting it to an insurer?

Apple claims to go to extreme lengths to anonymize data collected from Maps. Any information about locations visited is kept locally on your iPhone. Whether you trust them or not, it would be major news if it where found to be otherwise.

I think a lot of people are interpreting this as mandatory with no easy way to switch off. The article doesn't indicate how it will work.

Did I miss something?

If all I can afford to pay a developer is minimum wage, is he or she now obligated to work for me at my "market rate?" At what point does it go from not having enough money to afford a highly qualified developer to becoming "poaching?"

ed: Toned it down a little. I think tech is making an absurd amount of money and it's exasperating to see people complain about paying their workers too much.

So the fact that they’re offering a reduction seems fair, I guess. Although I wonder if they’re really only seeing a 15% reduction in costs.

I mean, imagine of Facebook tried this and started spamming your friends asking for donations to help you. I can't believe that even in Silicon Valley anyone can be this tone deaf.
