I just got energy back. Seems like it was all of Spain, eastern Portugal and southern France.

I actually think you
Might be into something.

Like, how can it be that
You can see the truth clearly and
I, cannot see such evidence.
Not everyone can see it, I guess.
Greatness is all you deserve.

Considering your typical OS workload has upwards of 200 processes running, 4 cores or 100 makes little difference.

You have contention. Cellphones are usually much more biased to keeping foreground processes running, for obvious reasons, to the point it heavily impacts other tasks.

But still, downloading is still I/O.

I/O is inherently serial. No amount of multithreading will make it go any faster.

You want asynchronicity, not parallel processing.

@CaptainRant

Loyalty to a company is a two way street.

You are not a slave to your employer, and should not behave like you are.

Your boss must also know you are not his property, and ideally, compensate you according to the value you bring in.

So yeah, in the end it's about trust.

I never once asked for a raise in my old company. My boss would give them to me based on the value I was providing.

That builds trust.

Not on just the compensation, but also being kept in the clear about the direction the company is taking, what troubles we face, and such.

That's not an employee's job, but it's it's really nice knowing that kind of stuff to plan your life and big events better (such as buying a home, having children, etc)

In the end, it's transparency, which builds into trust.

I guess it, at least nowadays, comes down to the whole short term-ness of the workforce itself.

People jump jobs much more now, usually for better salaries, and that's completely alright, but in the end, that makes companies not want to invest in you long term.

Because yes, on the clock education is an investment by your employer, to actually draw more value from you (and hopefully paying you back part of said extra value).

With the volatility of the market right now, it's no surprise that employers don't want to take those risks.

My previous company I stayed at for 8 years, until we were bought off. My boss paid for a shit ton of stuff, such as the drone flying license. Were there other candidates for it? Yes. He took the one he knew wouldn't just up and leave for a marginally better offer the next month.

@jestdotty

Don't interact. This happened before you came here.

He disappeared. We all assumed he was interned somewhere to get help.

Suddenly he came back. Seemed fine at first, like, you know, taking the meds he needs.

It's back to deranged rambling now.

He'll call you stuff. Don't engage, it's pointless.

Actually, a Carrington event is long overdue from what we can predict.

Our sun seems just to be a benevolent overlord.

@Navid-mnzh

As @cuddlyogre said, webview in android is functional, but on crapple, they don't want you skipping on that nice 30% cut and sweet data access, so it's probably capped to the point of uselessness.

React native is an abomination which while trying to do react, forces you to end up having to write native code anyway for any non trivial app.

So at that point, just consider going native, or at least non-web, with something like flutter or such.

You really need to take your meds again.

Just go WebView I guess, and join the other gazillion of shitty WebView apps.

@antigermgerm

Did you just implicitly admit Belgium is the "back door", aka, France's ass?

Also, since you are such a bitch that you throw jabs without tagging...

@tosensei , please do your thing.

Well, without it meaning a precedent, I agree.

But it's not something new. It has been this way since media are media.

The most critical skill to teach our young is to have critical thinking, even if they make mistakes. There's no need for more peaceful sheep.

You got it wrong.

It's LBGTQQ, another Q, and the Batman symbol.

There was a four somewhere I think, but can't remember.

And in any case, I shall simplify.

Tesla doesn't care if every time the car stops it's because there was a person in front. That's accuracy

Tesla cares about the car not stopping coz it didn't think it was a person.

That's recall. It matters. More than most of you think.

Say. You are a developer at Tesla's autonomous cars division.

Your car comes to a point where it must decide whereas there's a person in front or not, but it's not sure.

What do you do?

Exactly, you stop the car at the bare minimum suspicion that it might be a person.

You can not allow a false negative. That means your company going bankrupt.

False positives? Sure. Might be an inconvenience, but no harm done.

Tesla wants recall, not accuracy.

There's actually a really good example of this very phenomenon
(If anyone else knows statistics, yes, it's not the same but I'm trying to illustrate)

When dealing with a binary classification problem, just saying if something x belongs to a class a or b, seems simple enough, right?

Well, it's not about whether x belongs to a or b, it's really four scenarios.

You thought x was A, and it was, or wasn't A.

Same for B.

Naive reasoning would say they are complementary. They are not.

The two metrics for statistical accuracy are, stupidly, accuracy and recall.

You can't get perfect in both. One measures how many guesses turned out right, and the other, how many guesses actually matched the right result, which is surprisingly tricky.

Statistics are tricky.

Without any further info, what it means is that, given a sample population, of which an unknown percent developed dementia, we establish a prior hypothesis, whether everyone, dementia or not, eats an egg a week or more.

When calculating the odds of developing dementia taking into account this prior, you apply Bayes' theorem and get the compound probability, which seems like it comes to half of the value without the prior.

But that's the tricky part, yes, you may be half as likely to develop dementia, but you already had a slim chance to begin with.

@retoor

You know, that kinda scared me a bit XD

I go by that alias on other places, but I guess it was derived from the capitals... Or wasn't it? 🧐

I mean, that's why I did it myself xd

Then again, I've given enough info here that anyone with time and half a brain cell could locate me, so no worries whatsoever.

@AvatarOfKaine

Replying just to save @tosensei from your bullshit.

By all means, keep tagging me in your nonsense, and I'll happily continue to ignore it, but please don't bother others.

@kiki

CPython is the reference (and fastest) implementation of python.

Any python sort implementation that doesn't use intrinsics will always be slower than C qsort, or than any equivalently implemented sorting algorithm.

If only because python objects always result in pointer deferences, which is orders of magnitude slower than fast L3 access.

Great, does that mean we can get you aborted now?

@kiki

You are aware that qsort is already part of the C standard library since 30 years ago, right?

And yes, yes, if you are gonna get exquisite it's actually not mandated by the standard that it must implement quick sort, but all major implementations do.

You are also aware that CPython uses C qsort, right?

@kiki

"Sorting array in python will be faster than sorting array in C."

No. It won't. Ever. As you correctly said, best case scenario CPython will implement it using C sort, so there goes.

And yeah, kinda agree with the sentiment that any non trivial development (meaning anything not web related) requires more than just gluing APIs.

@TeachMeCode

Hahaha. Welcome to the brotherhood.

From now on, you may only reply to other fellow hunters with "BONK", "unga" or "bunga".

Happy unga, go bonk!

@Lensflare

Nah, I almost never downvote XD

You know, just me and my hate for crapple and not wanting it to infect anything else XD.

@jestdotty

There's no such thing.

You can apply constant force, but it doesn't really accumulate over time.

Either you beat whichever force is acting against you or you won't get anything done.

(And you gotta keep beating it to keep things moving because we don't live in a frictionless vacuum)

@12bitfloat

And purges.

@TeachMeCode

You gotta be very brave, or very foolish, to order seafood in most fast food joints.

Come to Spain/Portugal. Here, near the ocean you can get excellent seafood at more than attractive prices.

Yes, including fresh oysters, like, a dozen for 5 euros. And of course they taste great.

@Lensflare

You are making it very hard for me not to downvote you 😂.

This will probably sounds stupid, but I've always wanted to be able to swap brains with my best friend for 24 hours.

I'm sure I'd find the whole world and human relationships fascinating.
