It seems that approach is a way to generate losses without actually losing the titles. These losses are needed to offset incomes elsewhere thus not paying taxes on profits.

Investment fund's commodity is value - the rest are just tools to optimize the value.

WSL was a subsystem to run Linux under Windows 10 without an explicit VM host. It was an Ubuntu Linux version. Later MS released WSL2, complete redesign, still for Windows 10. With Windows 11 the WSL2 also supported GUI programs.

There's hardly a standard for a 'quality' contribution to discussion. Many styles, many opinions, many ways to react and support one's statements.

If anything, it had been quite customary to supply references for some important facts. Thus letting readers to explore further and interpret the facts.

With AI in the mix the references become even more important, in the view of hallucinations and fact poisoning.

Otherwise, it's a forum. Voting, flagging, ignoring are the usual tools.

"...C is my favorite language and I love the freedom and exploration it allows me. I also love that it is so close to Assembly and I love writing assembly for much of the same reasons!"

I wonder what is author's view about user's reasons to choose a C API?

What I mean is users may want exactly the same freedom and immediacy of C that the author embraces. However, the very approach to encapsulation by hiding the layout of the memory, the use of accessor functions limits the user's freedom and robs them of performance too.

In my view, the choice of using C in projects comes with certain responsibilities and expectations from the user. Thus higher degree of trust to the API user is due.

I'd count also those memorable school talent shows/performances and events. Another reach out avenue is volunteering, these have a higher chance to match parents with similar availability at least.

... Why do we "call" functions?

I always thought that the functions did not need a call keyword, as they normally would return a value, so that functions would appear in an assignment. So one just uses the function.

What needed a CALL was a subroutine, which effectively was a named address/label.

Indeed it would be just as possible to GOTO the address/label and then GOTO back. CALL keyword made the whole transaction more comprehensive.

So in a sense it was similar to calling up someplace using the address number. Often times this would change some shared state so that the caller would then proceed after the call. Think of it as if a 'boss' first calls Sam to calculate the figures, then calls Bill to nicely print the TPS report.

Eventually everything became a function and subroutines were associated with spaghetti...

Now, why is that it's called routine (aka program) and subroutine?

I thought a prime time for contacting the parents is right after school when picking up the kid. Everyone is there waiting, so it's just natural to chit chat, esp when the kids are friends.

Does HFSS visualize the field in real-time or a user needs to set the geometry/parameters then precalculate the field and only then be able to explore the visualization?

Say, if I wanted to see immediate effects of changing an incidence angle, could I just "scroll" the incidence parameter?

What are the battery requirements for such feed combo (RC + FPV + servo)? From experience, how does this translate to play time?

...That year he said: if you didn't need to worry about money or success, what other career path might you find interesting.

Such a wise way to both elicit ideas and encourage introspection. Very inspiring!

We live in a world full of uncertainty. When someone you know is in a current need, helping that person is one way to hedge against the uncertainty of the future. Who knows, one day you may need such help too...

That's why this advice is common. It's important to be clear about the reasons for reaching out.

It's more gruesome about the chicken. These are also said to be counted in fall. It's not just about hatching (in summer), but rather about surviving till fall...

The original Nokia 5110 obviously lived long, probably still is there in author's drawer in some disassembled state.

Yamaha digital pianos have on-board recorder which is quite convenient and separates left and right hands.

However, the internal capacity is fairly limited and there's some tolerable yet a delay after the recording to save the buffer on the flash.

I don't think there's a ready way to copy such internal recording from the piano onto some external medium.

This device may be a nice 'upgrade' for such digital pianos. It'd be nice if the recordings can also be played for a selected hand, so that it could be used in learning.

IMO, the firstmost source is your own observations. 3x cube is very tactile, so some moves are just natural.

It helps also to develop some sort of notation for yourself. This way you can track and repeat your moves.

Solving by layers is kinda logical. So solving one side (first layer) is not hard. Then some experimentation with rotation sequences which temporarily break the solved layer/face and then re-assemble it will lead to discovery of moves to swap the edges into the second layer.

The hardest then is to solve the third layer. Again, the notation and observations help charting your way through.

A curious discovery may be about some repeated pattern of moves which may be totally shuffling the cube yet, if continuing it, eventually returns the position to the beginning state. It's kind of a "period".

Have fun.

+1. Scratch indeed is very flexible environment for that (even younger) age group.

Lots of interactive ideas could be easily implemented with already available assets (sprites, backgrounds, sounds), customized too. It's more tooled for platformers. There are many nice tutorials (loadable projects). Tons of books (we used 'Super skills. How to code').

The other day this 8yo even had to face first ever concurrency bug - the race condition. Alas there are no ready mutexes as such in Scratch, but we found a way to synchronize the execution.

At times I did feel that it'd be faster to just type the code, but the kid actually felt more in control doing all the needed coding with touch/mouse.

Also the projects/games are shareable, so friends can load that too.

Perhaps, my comment is seen in detachment from the article in question. The "blah blah" is actually part of the article, and serves to dismiss the verbosity of a formal description of RAM.

I do question the need for the verbosity of their own.

As a constructive advice, I do believe that a visual representation of the subject serves better not only to this context but also to the target audience.

As a side-note, I have a member of such audience still enjoying the summer break ... the wall of the OP text proved impenetrable, despite the initial interest.

How does this reflect on SQLite's possibilty of parallelizing some of the operations, like aggregates, for example?

Tried it on SQLite's own Fossil repo, which is a kind of SQLite db too.

The resulting diagram shows no relationship arrows.

Turns out the Fossil's schema uses REFERENCES clause with a table name only; I guess, this points to table's primary key by default. Apparently, the diagram generator requires explicit column names.

So called slow-thinking may not be an all around trait, but rather specific mode in some contexts.

Do you generally experience slow physiological and neural reactions? In other words is it a 'hardware' limitation?

My guess, in your case it may be more about specific contexts. Some topics/domains may not be your forte, so to speak, yet you could be familiar with them enough to get engaged.

So a reasonable choice could be not to engage into debates, instead take a role of a talk show host which encourages guests to talk and tell. It's a win-win case, the other side shines, you learn about the person and the topic.

Eventually you'd know which topics are "yours". It's not possible to know everything, yet it's very much possible to listen to anything (unless it's a preschooler asking for ice-cream non-stop).

Also, exercising your memory may be of great help in life in general. Fast recall saves you more time for processing the information.

...turning the fourier series into the continous fourier transform

Yes, if talking about the Fourier transform. My understanding was that author proposed that "trick" in context of discrete series for bounded non-periodic functions x(t), y(t).

Instead, what followed was more like an extension to periodic function.
