1. Exercise good judgment about what projects are “away team-able”. Be okay saying “this needs to be done by our team” even when that’s hard. Otherwise you’ll end up with tricky features implemented by people who don’t…
There are more than two kinds of infinities. Consider the set of all subsets of the real numbers. Also the rationals are countable by diagonalization.
I don’t follow. It’s exactly like C in this regard, except with Box::new instead of malloc.
I feel like this is easier if you’re a non-lever-puller. If you think it’s wrong to pull the lever if it causes anyone’s death who wasn’t dying anyway, then most of these are easy. Except the “you can’t see the track”…
I think (3b) isn’t true, since the sanctions are effecting every part of Russia’s economy. And while the petroleum industry is like 40% of their exports by revenue, the other 60% is obviously significant. Also from a…
1. The parent comment is referring to waste in the environmental sense. Nature does not care how expensive the trash was--just the volume/composition 2. It's a big stretch to call AirPods "disposable" I (and many…
How is removing 3rd party kernel modules a “pure political decision”. Do you really believe there are no technical/security factors behind this choice?
Nit: you cannot see the Great Wall from space unaided: https://www.nasa.gov/vision/space/workinginspace/great_wall....
10% worse performance. Not 10x worse :D
I worked on one as an undergrad: https://github.com/gwsystems/aWsm Full AoT compilation, C programs run within 10% of native
The issue here is that YouTube (and other platforms) encourage this. It works, in that if you ask people to like comment and subscribe, they like comment and subscribe more. (And that boosts your standing within the…
Who are the “they” here? I’m assuming you’re not calling trans people abnormal, right?
1) People are calling this an “insurrection” because it’s so directly an attack on country leadership. (Whereas the incidents you’re referencing are predominantly riots and attacks on the police.) There may be hypocrisy…
I don’t think this take is quite right. In the early/late game, sure it can end up being memorization. But the game has so many states that the mid game tends to be quite complex and there is a lot of skill…
Maybe I just misread this article but it really sounds like they don’t own YOLOv5. It’s someone else’s project they think is cool and are amplifying. If that’s right, then I think it’s reasonable to defer naming to…
I feel like hashed passwords are somewhere in between “completely okay to publish” and secret. With good crypto, it should be difficult to make a password hash useful even if it is public. (Although weak passwords can…
From the article it seems like recapturing the helium is impractical without a significant investment in a reliquifier
For in depth information on what specifically was merged see: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/RELEASES.md (These are the official release notes.)
I love Google's products, and I put up with the fact that they harvest my data. But to have such terrible support for their services is absolutely ludicrous. I've seen too many stories of people losing their content,…
If a company is failing, the existing management will need new jobs anyway. All the government is doing with the parents strategy, is ensuring less jobs are lost and less lives are impacted. It's not like the government…
I think that globals are not a problem when "you have a good [enough] understanding of the code you're writing." The problem is when code bases grow, references to globals can start to appear in lot of different places,…
Isn’t O(n) here relative to lines of code? So O(n) * k is just O(n^2)?
It is qualitatively untrue to say that most academic philosophers are dualists. https://philpapers.org/surveys/results.pl (Also modern dualism is much better than spiritualism! There are some good reasons why people…
I feel like this is a bit of an oversimplification of a complicated topic. For example, qualia is not a solution, it's a problem! And while Dennett does present an interesting picture (especially in the way he resolves…
Is this a bad sign for SpaceX? Is ‘getting leaner’ why they’re really doing this?
