Youtube just reccomended a video to me by a guy with this as his pinned post on twitter??? Also the comments are like "white people shouldn't be in government because it's a satanic institution and we need hitler back"!! Crazy that people like this have any support
We need to end liberalism, end democracy, repeal forced association legislation, kick women out of priesthood and government, return to Christianity as a basis of government, return to ethno-religious community, kick out non-belongers, essentially undo the 20th century, return to pre-enlightenment metaphysics, revive scholastic and classical thinking, and implement post-liberal Christian Subsidiarist Organic Aristo-Republicanism and maybe things will be fine.

If you do this you save the West.

For the most part since starting uni I haven't seen any word problems, so I assumed the stereotypical "maths word problem scenario" was behind me, but now there's seemingly commercial terrorism in this week's work
The graph in figure 1 is a sales network, where

- s represents a factory producing pop-its
- t is the local school
- other vertices (a - f) are agents onselling pop-its
- edges represent sales connections

A radical group wants to stop pop-its reaching the local school by disrupting sales.

There is an attached image of a graph that is 2-connected

It's this, and I am definitely over complicating it

Crazy tool use
Cachegrind is a good profiler for determining if a function is inlined. When looking at Cachegrind’s output, you can tell that a function has been inlined if (and only if) its first and last lines are not marked with event counts. For example (alt text note: rust code):

      .  #[inline(always)]
      .  fn inlined(x: u32, y: u32) -> u32 {
700,000      eprintln!("inlined: {} + {}", x, y);
200,000      x + y
      .  }
      .  
      .  #[inline(never)]
400,000  fn not_inlined(x: u32, y: u32) -> u32 {
700,000      eprintln!("not_inlined: {} + {}", x, y);
200,000      x + y
200,000  }

I am very happy with the API I worked out here for abstract interpretation over stack size github.com/leastinforme..., I am excited to implement it (hopefully I have time tonight), the connection between the concrete and abstract instructions is very pleasing to me, writing that binary operation
A snippet of rust code:
struct StackSize {
  // I assume that the maximum size of a python stack is usize::MAX, but I do not know for certain.
  // Worth checking when actually implemented
  height: usize,
  depth: usize,
}

impl StackSize {
  fn pop(self) -> Self {
    StackSize {
      // this subtraction is saturating because whenever subtraction would
      // become negative, the depth is increased instead
      height: self.height.saturating_sub(1),
      // similarly depth only increases if self.height == 0
      depth: self.depth + (1).saturating_sub(self.height),
    }
  }

  fn push(self) -> Self {
    StackSize {
      height: self.height + 1,
      depth: self.depth,
    }
  }
}A snippet of rust code:
// this possibly is best expressed as a fold
fn get_stack_size_info(block: &[Instr]) -> StackSize {
  let mut stack_size = StackSize::new(); // new instances have 0 in both fields
  for instr in block {
    stack_size = match instr {
      Instr::Pop => stack_size.pop(),
      Instr::Push(_val) => stack_size.push(),
      Instr::BinaryOp(_kind, _lhs, _rhs) => {
        // Popping lhs, rhs, and then pushing `lhs op rhs`
        stack_size.pop()
          .pop()
          .push()
      },
      // ... and so on
    }
  }

fixed that for you wikipedia 😘
Wikipedia excerpt screenshot:
A technological innovation is Hicks neutral, following John Hicks (1932), if a change in technology does not change the ratio of capital's marginal product to labour's marginal product for a given capital-to-labour ratio. A technological innovation is Harrod neutral (following Roy Harrod) if the technology is labour-augmenting (i.e. morally good); it is Solow neutral if the technology is capital-augmenting (i.e. evil).

The moral comments are clearly edited in a photo manipulation program so that what was "helps labour" is now "morally good" and "helps capital" is now "evil"

Reddit has the sauce?!
Reddit post on indie head circle jerk
Subject: Furryfolk
Body:

RIP indie music. Geese was the last nail in the coffin. Furries have taken the genre from the real connoisseurs, the true appreciators of music.

I first noticed this trend in 2006 because I got a zune that year. People said Grizzly Bear was the best band when I knew it was LCD system because I got an early mp3 leak of sound of silverlake.

Following year I learn about a sinister cult named, Animal Collective. Okay.... peep this, there leader  Panda Bear, is behind this take over. After him, so many bands and musicians joined the cult by naming their band or song after bears, mostly. Desiigner tried to warn us but they framed him, said he was jorkin it. Idk why, but this right out in front of our faces. They fuck animals bro. They wear animals and kill their victims by making them od on ketamine or pain pills because that's the only way their old Mcdonald orgy music sounds good. Modest mouse? More like slutty mouse!!

I can't do degenerate, music named after animals when I know this truth to probably be true. The best bands and musicians either use their own name, a safe word, or make up their own language and take a word from that (e.g. Sigur Ros).

If your brave enough, include any animal bands we need to avoid, because I'm canceling this furry folk  culture once and for all.
