Well, I think productivity gains should correlate with stock price growth.
If we want stock prices to increase exponentially, sales must also grow exponentially, which means we need to become exponentially more productive.
We can stop that — or we can stop tying company profitability to stock prices, which is already happening to some extent.
And when we talk about 'greedy shareholders,' remember that often means pension funds - essentially our savings and our hope for a decent retirement, assuming productivity continues to grow exponentially.
I didn't ace it, but knew immediately what I had done wrong as I rode my bicycle home. I kept checking my linear transformation matrix and the Eigen values didn't compute... Looked again at the TI-89 when I got home and realized I swapped the orientation on the Jordan constants. I wrote all the equations out, so maybe my professor will have mercy on me. Oh well, another case of elevator wit - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27esprit_de_l%27escalier
In my childhood, me and my brother had access to computers (and simcity) only once a month. Because we still wanted to play, we actually made paper version of it, drawing maps ourselves and doing all the financial calculations on a separate sheet. I wanted to write my own simcity.
Later on, I spent considerable amount of time designing the code, again on paper as I still didn't have access to computers.
I think that had the most significant impact on my skills, and, eventually, my career.
Thanks for that
Thanks for repeating yourself; this comment potentially influences my decision-making about DuckDB. Good to know about the negatives too.
At what data volumes does it start erroring out? Are these volumes larger than RAM? Is there a minimal example to reproduce it? Is this ticket related to your issue? https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/issues/12480
Depends what you mean? If you want a modern high performance ray tracer with support for all the latest hardware and implementing all the cutting edge ray tracing research, there is Embree and OptiX. They don't however come with their own scene description language, which is what made POV-Ray so popular in the first place.
Nothing, except it's thousands (literally) of times slower than alternatives because it uses primitives instead of meshes and therefore doesn't lend itself well to GPU parallelization
This is weird. Their privacy policy enforcing them to delete your account. I guess it is just a catch for those who don't know what GDPR us.
4. Right to deletion
a) Obligation to delete
You may request the controller to delete the personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to delete such data without undue delay, if one of the following reasons applies:
- The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
- You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
You object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing.
- The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.
The deletion of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8 (1) DSGVO.
It might be similar to how credit report agencies have to provide the reports for free under GDPR, but not before trying to make you pay twenty different ways.
>but not before trying to make you pay twenty different ways.
This itself is illegal. It must be simple and straightforward. EU laws broadly do not tolerate the rules lawyering popular in the US, companies know what the intent is and playing games will not work out in their favor.
It’s meant to take on the large/multiple offenders; if they get enough complaints about 1 company and after warnings that company doesn’t change, they will fine.
they could fine without warning and IMHO they should start doing so it's the law isn't new isn't complicated to roughly get right for 99% of companies so there is no longer reason to go easy on companies which seem to very knowingly give a shit (independently of weather it actually was knowingly)
That would make it more like the US with over litigation, companies hiring people to find competitors in violation and going by the letter instead of the intent of the law. Also; the gdpr is large and complex but the intent is pretty clear; if we start to go by the letter, very many companies are unknowingly in violation but cannot afford consultants. They don’t abuse the data ; they just store too much for instance. It would be very strange if they get fined immediately; they will have 0 complaints over their existence probably, so a warning would suffice.
The companies that don’t give a shit aka ignore warnings from the overseer in their country, will get fined; small or big. It works fine.
also too little clarification for "predictable edge cases and ways companies try to circumvent" had been put in law upfront (laws some a form of comment section into which such things can be placed, most times as result of previous court decisions)
and from the resources which are available too many are bound in large companies bullshitting around by trying to delay enforcement by a very obvious misinterpretations of the law and huge legal teams/founds to delay and delay and delay
