It sounds like their architecture enables them to solve much more interesting problems than would usually be encountered in meeting their business requirements.
ID.me also seems to be the only way to interact with the IRS online, and has arbitrarily decided my identity is unverifiable.
Apparently surfraw has an elvis for it: https://gitlab.com/surfraw/Surfraw/-/wikis/current-elvi
All languages have redundancy; it serves as a form of forward error correction. I recall some sort of study (sorry, no link) finding that information density was (by some metric) similar across different languages. So…
Interesting idea. I've just tried it with a couple of languages: - TS with Vue: SFC are not really working (it's showing a style change as if the whole stylesheet were replaced with a mostly-identical stylesheet). -…
I can't picture how that would work. While collaborative features require that some objects are shared and synchronized, efficiency and programmer sanity rely on the fact that some objects are not. If synchronization is…
I don't know what kind of computer weenies you know but speaking for myself: needing to interact with someone to get exercise would add a major hurdle for me. OTOH, I'm really getting in to minmaxing myself in Garmin...
I went through the same paradigm shift with cycling. I used a cheap bike that was slow and heavy because higher efficiency wouldn't allow me to get exercise any faster. Then I got a nice road bike, and it's so much more…
Well yeah. SSDs are worse than HDDs in every way when the denominator is capacity. The headline would be the opposite if they were comparing per IOPS. The shocking conclusion: Use SSDs when you need fast random access;…
I have an Android TV and streaming subscriptions. If I want to stream something I have to find out what service carries it, open the right app, and attempt to type the title with the arrow keys on the remote. For me,…
`for` is a foreach. If you want to increment a number through a range like a typical C `for`, you have to use a `while` loop. I don't really see the draw.
> do black-and-white code editing You've piqued my curiosity. No syntax highlighting?
Well I assumed it would be an electron app because getting it done with a shedload of giant 555 timers wouldn't be as funny :)
Oops. It's 40ms!
It would take an electric signal about 40ns to travel from the center to one corner and back, and a signal certainly needs to do more than that in a clock cycle, so the physical limit on its operational frequency would…
It's not mutations that are the threat, it's mutated COVID-19.
We are talking about the relative evolutionary fitness of different variants, so until we have the ability to decide whether to avoid someone based on what variant they have (and may not be showing symptoms of), I don't…
That's only a problem if you use code that is unsound. Well-written crates do not incorrectly mark functions safe.
It depends on how high up the software stack you work. For most people it won't make much difference, but for some people it's huge. I do a lot of SIMD optimization, and x86 is 128/256/512-bit short-vector SIMD. Arm is…

Is it emulated, or does it have a peephole optimization for the mask/multiply idiom? If it's hitting the emulation path on this case, that can easily be fixed.
