I think rounding up/down can vary across architectures. Mixing arm/amd/intel here should result in non-deterministic behavior potentially. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754#Reproducibility
Ah... I see. The game is using a software implementation of floating point maths to avoid this issue :). Smart. That in combination with the unified compiler should get you out of most of the trouble.
Brazil is one of the major exporters of food in the world. And they get most of their fertilizer from Russia. Russia is cranking up their prices because of the trade war being enacted on them because of their actions in Ukraine.
Brazil had also imported a ton of wheat from Ukraine before the war. And is full of people that couldn't really afford a 15% increase in price versus the over 100% increase in retail price of wheat.
Just ask google who the top producers of -fertilizer- are. You can't farm without it.
Yeah they give you a lot more on the free account now, don't they? :/
"Java is write once, test and debug everywhere."
Also the ui toolkits for JVM ecosystems are just not as nice to develop with. But I was pretty hardcore C#/.net back in those days so take what I say there with a grain of salt.
I think the current title "Cash Transfers: No positive effect of cash – if anything, negative effects (ssrn.com)" is greatly missing the message here.
It is very funny having to explain to people why shows like "star trek: the next generation" basically had to reset everything by the end of the episode back into it's original state in order for syndication to work (episodes are basically played in any order aside from the few 2-parter episodes).

shrug. It's always hard to guess?
Especially since greenhosue gas emissions for the airline industry is about 3% of all greenhouse gas emissions.
Global variables in that kind of codebase might be -really- hard to keep track of how you are accessing and writing them :/.
This gets really fucking nasty when you're doing things like setting it to volatile and potentially accessing it across threads and you end up with a partial write and then doing a read, etc.
I'm sure the axiom of "it's never tested as much as we want" still probably applies here and that's slightly terrifying.

“Spaghetti code”: Incomprehensible code due to unnecessary coupling, jumps, gotos, or high complexity
Yeah that sounds fun. really fun. This is why I purposefully never work on any system that could kill someone. I just can't imagine being in charge of something like that and not wanting to go insane with knowing my code wasn't checked enough. or I wasn't careful enough.
The MCAS system was built to work on a very buggy angle of attack sensor. They are notoriously unreliable. The max kept one on each side of the plane (the airbus equivalent has 3 on each side). Further compounded by the fact that the (this was true at the time and theyve joined systems now) pilots computer only used the left side of the plane instruments and the copilots computer only used the right side.
So no. Boeing fucked up in the first place by trying to stealth fix a hardware problem (stalling at a new lower angle of attack in the "same model airplane") with software. And then lying through their teeth about the impact of this.
The equivalent military 737max with MCAS simply allowed the pilot to more forcefully adjust the flight control stick to turn it off. So they knew better.
Companies attempting to skirt legislation in the face of better profits is always going to cause issues here.
The entire max disaster was an attempt by management at Boeing to get pilots to be able to fly all 737s with basically no retraining.
I believe we can't detect C0 and things like N0 so they just straight up kill you once you pass out from oxygen deprivation
I'm not 100% sure on why Russia is holding back their air force in this conflict but once it's engaged it's going to go very poorly for the Ukraine soldiers if they don't have a way to assert control of their airspace.
You send in naval air forces to obliterate defenses on shore then send in marines.
This is probably why China is deeply invested in long range fighters (their modern fighter has significantly more range than US ones). And aircraft carriers as of late. That and enough surface warships to defend said carriers.
Local Nebraska man shows up with fracking fluid to ask the commission if they would drink it themselves.
And it has a tendency to leak through most materials.
https://planetforlife.com/h2/h2swiss.html#:~:text=Hydrogen%2....
"B&E estimates that a liquid hydrogen tank designed for automobile use will loose about 5% of its capacity every day, which is to say that all of it will be gone in 20 days. Losses of this magnitude are acceptable for, say, a taxicab fleet, but unacceptable to most people."
Also new to me that it's a greenhouse gas: "Hydrogen cannot be vented to the atmosphere because it is an explosion hazard and because it is a greenhouse gas. The vented hydrogen must be burned. A continuously running gas stove with one burner set to "medium" would do it."
"According to the sociological perspective, members of privileged groups can experience prejudice, but their experience will be different than the experience of someone who experiences systemic racism."
One could argue that being in the majority you would have an easier time getting a lateral promotion than someone as a minority.
"How do you get to tokyo from paris", the cheapest, the shortest time, the least layovers, add a stop in X, etc. Not that easy.
Then you have to remember all the stuff under the hood like how are you caching all that information, how do you actually register the sales of all those tickets. Are they in your flight alliance? Are they goign through your regional airline systems too?
I would never want to touch that stuff. Way too hard. Way too many legacy systems powering it too, probably.

Which is now owened by google and probably powering google flights lol
So when we see it being limited it freaks us out.
