The BBC recounts by means of interviews the experience of a few ambassadors in these matters. "I was called by the foreign ministry and was told 'We need to see you immediately,'" Mr Casson [former UK ambassador to Egypt] tells the BBC. "The first thing they said was, 'We are not summoning you, but we are going to tell the press we are summoning you. If it had been a summoning, we would have sent a formal diplomatic note summoning you.'" This is the way things normally work in a summoning - a f

A visual introduction to big O notation

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-02 08:39:36

Big O notation is a way of describing the performance of a function without using time. Rather than timing a function from start to finish, big O describes how the time grows as the input size increases. It is used to help understand how programs will perform across a range of inputs. In this post I'm going to cover 4 frequently-used categories of big O notation: constant, logarithmic, linear, and quadratic. Don't worry if these words mean nothing to you right now. I'm going to talk about them

Stepanov's biggest blunder? The curious case of adjacent difference

news.ycombinator.com Roman Kashitsyn 2025-11-02 04:30:59

The curious case of adjacent difference If you have ever tried using the std::adjacent_difference algorithm in c++, I’m sure it left you puzzled. As the name suggests, this algorithm computes differences between adjacent elements of the input sequence, but it does one more thing: it copies the first element of the input sequence into the output sequence unmodified. The following example demonstrates how to apply the algorithm to delta-compress a postings list of document identifiers that contain

The Plan to Turn the Caribbean’s Glut of Sargassum Into Biofuel

wired.com Edith González Cruz 2025-11-18 23:00:00

Esteban Amaro, director of the Quintana Roo Sargassum Monitoring Network, agrees that fuel is the best product to focus on. Processing the seaweed into other consumer products is possible, but inadvisable given that the health risks of doing so have not yet been sufficiently studied. “I believe that sargassum’s purpose is to produce energy, because when it decomposes, it releases many heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, and cadmium,” Amaro says. “Therefore it is better to produce biofuels or bi
