In general, this happens to me while trying to fall asleep. Very random, distinct, sharp and lucid childhood memories of certain points in time, though I do have be drifting into sleep. I've certainly never had it when trying to actively memorize new material.


Same here. Can actually consciously try to remember events 20+ years ago and often that will trigger a memory I haven’t recollected in a very long time. A person, an event, etc. Happens very well when I just wake up.


Typically it means you can invest in niche markets. These market would be out of reach for larger players as they would struggle to find liquidity for their portfolio size. On the other end, smaller players would not be able to adjust their positions sufficiently granularly due to minimum lot/clip sizes specified on the market - similar to a quantisation effect if you don't sample at a sufficiently high frequency.


godbolt?

edit: curious as to how you perform this optimisation.


It's been a few years since I've had to do it - but back then I just used the Visual Studio disassembly. You can get something similar (but more messy) with objdump.

Godbolt seems like a good solution now-a-days, but you still need to run benchmarks


Hate speech and incitement to violence is not welcome in the UK, and quite rightly so.


And who decides what is hate speech and incitement to violence?

The country which Orwell called home should know better than this.


Lol, you should ask Indians about that.


Ouch.


Neither Lauren Southern or this guy were inciting anyone to violence. And if you watch the video there was no "hate" in any reasonable sense of the word.


How does this square against the housing situation? From what I've heard Vancouver housing is comparable to London.


Vancouver has the tech salaries of a small city like Boise and the housing costs of San Francisco.


Come try Montréal, the housing is fine!


Name and shame buddy, we need to know who the toxic abusive employers are. There is no such thing as professional decency in this situation. Exploitative capitalist behaviour needs to be dealt with in unconventional ways.


Shall we start with the harassment and domestic violence problem? Or do you want me to pull out the statistics on "native" European populations. At least they don't go shoot up schools....


" But WeWork takes extra steps to encourage fraternization. Like beer kegs that never run dry.

More than most companies, WeWork promotes the consumption of alcohol as an inherent virtue. Posters on the wall encourage people to have a drink. There are wine tastings at WeLive. Company parties feature top-shelf liquor. Mr. Neumann has a well-known penchant for tequila, and a well-stocked bar is prominent in his office.

On a recent Tuesday at 4:07 p.m., the community manager of a WeWork in Midtown Manhattan sent an email reading: “It’s time to get your creative juices flowing! Join us on the 5th floor to drink some wine & paint a beautiful picture.” Just after noon on Valentine’s Day, there was an invitation to share wine and cake in the common area.

Though alcohol is a social lubricant for some, it can be off-putting to many others. Many women have shared stories of feeling uncomfortable with what they described as a frat house culture at some WeWorks, prompting some to leave."

So office space AirBnB for a bunch of frat boys. No thanks.


Alcohol = frat boys. Ok.

Back in reality it's a very, very common social lubricant, and is a pretty good... Add-on(?) to we-work that attracts people. Alcohol isn't expensive if brought through a distributor, but most people attach a high 'bar' price to it, so see it as an expensive freebie when really it's not.

Just because some people don't drink means we-work is bad? Also not sure if 'wine tasting' screams 'frat boy'....


I've worked in one of these trendy tech companies with a bar. They attract exactly the same kind of employee. Generally a complete bellend twat probably privately schooled and educated on his parent's money with grand delusions about his place in society. If you want to get smashed, there's plenty of pubs near by. No need to enforce your social code on me. I'm here to code.


Same, except our bar is made of plywood and is tacky as hell. It attracts our employees. I'm also here to code but some free drinks while I socialize with my colleagues isn't bad, especially given central London drink prices.


You are in for a bad time then my friend as that has nothing to do with WeWork. You just described every professional services firm in the USA (CPAs, Lawyers, and Architects concord by my personal experience) and most likely the culture of most team oriented employers in the United States.

It also turns out that the reason is because that’s what most people do anyway. Remember college? Most people were out drinking to socialize. These companies are jus trying to mimic that but with their employees instead of a group of friends hoping it will case friendships and better team cohesion to form. Also because they had a tough week and want to get smashed in the company dime too.


Great, feel free to go out and socialize. No need to try encourage alcohol - one of the most destructive social drugs in our society - in the workplace. There's plenty of people with drinking problems, recovering and former alcoholics who don't want the awkwardness of it all just because some 22 year old frat boy hasn't grown out of his college beer pong man child phase.


No doubt given a giant step ahead by open source initiatives such as TensorFlow, ironically.


The problem is you're trying to hire engineers to do business analysis, product management, support and quality assurance. The problem is your lack of engineering culture and process.
