Could this be used to prove e+pi is transcendental?

if only matrices would've been invented before i..


From your description I think you accidentally applied for a position in an administrative sub-branch of Hell. This was the giveaway: "I had a little discussion with the interviewer, who said 0 was not a multiple of 3 and 5".


if you fix the one based indexing you should call yours KT@ or Kt`


"It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion."


The cursive font should at least lean to the right.


I think that might be how left-handed people write if they're taught how to write properly left-handed. (I was not.)


Reading the paper made unconsciousness inevitable, in my case.


I can recommend Wixsharp (https://github.com/oleg-shilo/wixsharp), you no longer have to learn the insane wix xml syntax to create an installer.


I second this recommendation.

In addition to using more sensible and consistent syntax, WixSharp also provides sensible defaults that just work, such as always using "major upgrades" so that you don't have to worry about MSI trying to be clever and sometimes (but sometimes not!) only partially upgrading the app.


That not-invented-here locking mechanism was a big shock to me. I'd be very interested to know the rationale behind that, are locking primitives somehow not available in file system code?


Locks are perfectly usable in filesystem code, but test_and_set_bit()/wait_on_bit() has lower overhead, so they'll get used as an optimization. This function is called on every metadata read, so the improved performance/scalability of raw atomics over locks can probably make a difference on fast storage.

Also the code used to use locks, and it wasn't any simpler: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20230503152441.1141019-2...


a bunch of useless processes, if only.. they started using Scaled Agile (or SAFe) a few years ago, which slows down software development by a factor of five or more and adds non-productive fulltime roles such as 'Release Train Engineer', 'Scrum Master' and 'product owner'.
