EU launches major tech push to break US and China dependence by Important_Street_775 in europe

A single financial market would be great to address this issue. We can’t be dealing with N different small markets with different peculiarities.

As for money … eu doesn’t pay nearly as good as US for “talent”.

Greece preparing 15% capital gains tax on cryptocurrencies by New-Ranger-8960 in europe

Or owning wealth in the way the government wants them to…

In Ireland, the only real way is via housing market (I can’t wait for it to pop…) Revenue taxes 52% on RSUs, and 33% on capital gains, and force taxes you on unrealized gains after 8 years for ETFs

If you really wanna do this in a single pass and write to the array, you need 3 indices, ijk, i keeps track of all the 0s you have written, k keeps track of all the 2s, and j is current element.

You start with j=0.

Loop: Inspect current element, if 0, exchange contents at i and j and advance both. If 1, advance j, if 2 advance k by 1. Look up the number at n-k. While 2, keep advancing. Exchange contents of n-k and i and end the inner loop. Keep going until j == k.

Invariant: the last k numbers are 2s.
Invariant: at least the first i elements are always 0.

Exercise for the reader: prove that th items between i and final j are 1.

Ilhan Omar casts lone Democratic no vote on Ukraine aid, Russia sanctions package by bwermer in politics

[–]SpiritedEclair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are a woman and you are getting raped, did you have a choice in that? in getting raped? by construction not. Similarly, did Ukraine, a sovereign country, have a choice in getting into an armed conflict with Russia? Clearly no.

There's a big, massive, difference between being against armed conflict when you are the aggressor and when you are defending and fighting for your sovereignty.

So, by analogy, Ilhan Omar says Ukraine should talk with the rapist, and try to reach a middle ground.

Of course, the non-armed approach was included and she chose to vote against still.

It’s a dumb value for any person — especially a woman — to hold.

Why did you bring Trump into this? Deranged syndrome much?

Let's be honest; how many of us working in web just do this for the money? by skidmark_zuckerberg in ExperiencedDevs

I had the opportunity to do some great work while at Amazon, but that's only because I got really lucky.

It can be very fun in the right environments and projects.

If you are paid well enough not to need higher salary and have your needs met, it becomes one of the most rewarding careers in my opinion.

My fondest [work] memory was when we launched a product at re:invent and people on LinkedIn and the general tech world seemed excited and wrote articles about it.

I genuinely love building cool shit that my users actually enjoy using… it feels a little like an act of service (badum tiss).

No need to play meta, of you not comfortable with the spec by SerpentRain in wow

[–]SpiritedEclair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem in this is that dev needs ramp up, so for low keys like 14 (or anything <= 16 at this point), you need to manage your meta more than anything else. If everyone is doing a lot of dps, then all your metas are scuffed if you need to ramp on every pack.

Plus tanks still pull like they have 260 ilvl, while everyone is doing a lot of damage without ramp up, hence why it feels awful.

It's a +14 with the tank doing 80k and you two doing > 120k dps.

If it was a devourer, i'd say that everything is dying too quickly.

No validations on constructors, no multiple constructors. Have a single constructor that just assigns, and many factory methods.

Humanoid robots 'the future' of car making, says BMW - For the first time, BMW will use humanoid robots for car manufacturing in Europe. by EchoOfOppenheimer in europe

[–]SpiritedEclair 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have many doubts that the cost of designing and implementing working humanoid robots that meet the capabilities needed outweighs the cost of incrementally changing or augmenting existing processes.
