CGP Grey did a fantastic short video titled 'This Video Will Make You Angry'[1]. I'd recommend that anyone who is interested in this thread take a watch.
The central knowledge shared is that knowledge behaves like germs and can spread. Those that play on emotions spread better, and among the thought germs that spread based on emotions, the ones that play on anger spread the best.
Worst yet: There are anger based thought germs which live in symbiosis and harmony even if they cause conflict among the humans who hold that germs. You can see this take hold when communities exist entirely of folks who hold a singular belief and they spend all day constructing and destroying uncharitable straw men of opposing ideas.
I've noticed that Reddit _really_ likes this sort of content and fosters these sorts of communities. Communities at scale on reddit quickly become about fostering negatives: hatred of others, blame on the system, self-pity, snarky responses. Instead of the better and more effective: tactical empathy, acceptance and understanding what is within your personal sphere of influence, concrete actions, personal improvements, and forgiveness.
I'm definitely not saying one has to accept the world for how it is, or that it's fair, or anything like that. Humans should change this world! You should vote, you should volunteer, you should help your neighbor, you should understand and be kind to others with different beliefs, and perhaps under the extreme you should die for your beliefs to help enact them.
What you shouldn't do though is spend all day reading and posting memes about subjects you are already familiar with. If you've already made up your mind and are informed on a subject you don't need another meme to help radicalize yourself.

The Golden Record acts as a good thought exercise about how we'd go about communicating with an alien species. It's also a good public outreach and educational tool. It inspires awe and encourages taking time to reflect on what we are most proud of as a species.
I think you mean to say that you couldn't afford to devote the time to making a map that Microsoft did. Generally, in C++ we get to use data structures that have had far more attention to every detail than we could apply personally because they are used by many more than just us. Microsoft's gets used by everybody who uses their compiler, and so commands attention. It probably deserves more than Microsoft actually spends, but that is a management problem.
So definitely don't use it if you care about performance? (You can't write it, but anywhere you'd use it you can probably beat it). But we're getting into discussion of sensible benchmarking of actual deployable applications so let's leave that for another time.
Or just make PHEVs. Cars that have small batteries, that are big enough to do 95% of your driving on electricity. That still let you jump in and go somewhere without hoping that there is a place to charge up. And even when running the ICE engine, you're getting fuel economy much higher than a regular ICE car.
I think that if everybody could reduce their ICE usage by 90%, and only use 1/4 of the batteries, that is a win-win for everybody. People driving around in 200-350 mile EVs, that only drive less than a 1/4 of that on a regular basis are just wasting batteries that could have gone into other cars and saved them on the cost of their current car.
Like seriously, how often do you drive more than 100 miles? Once a week, once a month? We all know the stats for people's commutes are far shorter. Most people don't need long range EVs except for once in a while. That's what pro-EV people have been saying for years.
Even a Jeep Wrangler 4xe that only has like 10 miles of range... if your commute is 20 miles round trip, that's still half the gas usage. That guy probably wasn't going to buy an EV anyways. PHEVs are also a way to get skeptics to reduce reliance on gas.
I believe ludjer is referring to S3 Storage Inventory. This is a daily, or weekly, file produced containing metadata on every file within a S3 Bucket. It does not use the synchronous List APIs.
> You can use Amazon S3 Inventory to help manage your storage. For example, you can use it to audit and report on the replication and encryption status of your objects for business, compliance, and regulatory needs. You can also simplify and speed up business workflows and big data jobs by using Amazon S3 Inventory, which provides a scheduled alternative to the Amazon S3 synchronous List API operations. Amazon S3 Inventory does not use the List API operations to audit your objects and does not affect the request rate of your bucket.
>
> Amazon S3 Inventory provides comma-separated values (CSV), Apache optimized row columnar (ORC) or Apache Parquet output files that list your objects and their corresponding metadata on a daily or weekly basis for an S3 bucket or objects with a shared prefix (that is, objects that have names that begin with a common string). If you set up a weekly inventory, a report is generated every Sunday (UTC time zone) after the initial report. For information about Amazon S3 Inventory pricing, see Amazon S3 pricing.
Configuring emacs isn't a test of intelligence, it's a test of investment. I wish the mindset that conflates intelligence and investment would go away.
Software is going to continue to play a bigger influence on everyones life. The majority of this software is going to be written by engineers of average intelligence. Having tools that are easier for everyone to use will make your life better down the line too.
