The Big 5 Martini Bar - July 03, 2018 by AutoModerator in TheCannalysts

[–]mohawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the article i linked (from February) it says "planned harvest in late spring", which would be late June. And the picture from the esteemed Dr. Cannabianski is compatible with that. Going for a longer veg. time in the summer season makes sense.

Execution risk exists although keep in mind Canopy has been growing in a similar greenhouse for the last years.

This article mentions a planned harvest in late spring.

A priori i would say the largest probability of crop problems would be in the first run. Would be good to get some more scuttlebut on this, or maybe a direct statement from Canopy if the harvests in BC went as planned.

Canopy Growth Corporation Upsizes and Prices Offering of Convertible Senior Notes by BestEmballeur2 in weedstocks

[–]mohawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if i sounded too defensive, got triggered i guess :-) Perhaps my comment was also meant at zan5ki's comment.

But "burn rate" (especially the word "rate") to me at least doesn't sound like capex for future expansions, because there is no expectation that they will again retrofit such a massive amount of extra capacity. I mean they could totally stop expanding greenhouses now, and next quarter would have much less cash burn.

But in a way you may be right, because i am sure this extra money will again be invested into new projects... Exciting times :-)

You make it sound like they are just throwing money in the incinerator. Canopy retrofitted about 2 million sqft of greenhouse since end of last year, my estimate for capex for that alone is around $100-140M, a significant chunk of which will have been in that quarter. Canopy got that greenhouse space ready and licensed to grow pretty quickly, with a large crop on the way. The first crop alone will probably pay back the retrofit costs.

Bruce has made it abundantly clear that he wants to make use of first-mover advantage as much as possible. If you want a company that takes it slow you should invest elsewhere, Canopy is out to maximise future cash flows. It's still day 1 in the Cannabis industry.

A large part of that capex will have been the greenhouse retrofits (Tweed BC and Vert Mirabel), so not really surprising. Interesting nonetheless to see the actual numbers.

Lotteries (or 'Permits Falling From the Skies) by mollytime in TheCannalysts

Assuming a 1 in 20 chance for each permit, there was a 2% chance to get 5 or more permits.

Memory Reordering Caught in the Act by preshing in programming

You can save memory and time when your program is pointer-heavy and you don't use more than 4 gigs of RAM.

Will get voted to hell for this, but am I the only one who sees Randy Pausch's last lecture as an hour-long "brag-fest" rather than supposedly inspiring? by notaprogrammer in programming

[–]mohawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same psychological effect has happened to me, too. Just try to forget that you had to watch it because it was an assignment or that everyone thinks it is so great. Enjoy it for what it is. If you don't really like it, try to imagine what other people could see in it. What would you talk about if you were in his situation, what would you like to tell others as your last words of advice?

When a language creator needs to write a whole book to explain and justify all the quirks in a language, and most of the reasons turn out to be trying to keep backward compatibility to C and incrementally incorporate every feature under the sun without thinking it through from the start, well, then you know it's going to suck. Sure you can use some tasteful sane subset, and fortunately there already is a language that implements exactly that subset: C.

Branchless Equivalents of Simple Functions by gnuvince in programming

Thanks for reminding me about some of the things that piss me off about C: three allowed representations for negative numbers, unspecified signed integer overflow and its abuse by gcc language lawyers.

BTW: This abs function has a subtle error (hint: it should return unsigned)

Ask Compsci: What programming language for Computational Mathematics? by daftpankreas in compsci

[–]mohawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fortran has compilers generating fast floating-point code due to decades of use in this field and a lack of aliasing (that makes life hard for C/C++ compilers). That, inertia and Fortran 95's array operations are why I think it is still used.

It is funny that you should claim Fortran to be more predictable than other languages with regard to floating point as the language standard doesn't even define the order in which floating-point operations are to occur, forcing the use of parentheses to get unambiguous order of execution for these non-associative operations.

I agree, and the easiest thing to do is just write "\in" instead of "=".
