Becomes a lot less interesting when you consider that there's no way to power such a camera for any meaningful period of time without a much larger battery (ignoring the issue of storage/transmission).
Repurposing flags not always well-motivated, but one legitimate reason to do this is the memory (and particularly cache) footprint. Often flags are local to a particular object. If there are lots of such objects, you…
There is certainly much variance between the firms, especially the sign-on IME. People I know have turned down HRT core dev for big tech because their offers were unimpressive. I think an interesting target for…
I cannot confirm this. ~300k is pay (excluding sign-on) fresh out of college at a big HFT -- sufficiently senior devs make 7 figures.
Noticed this just now. It is.
The idea is precisely that you want to avoid pinging main memory at all, which is possible (in the happy case) if you do things correctly with DDIO. Not everything is done in hardware where I am. I am wary of saying…
For low-latency strategies, AMD's lack of DDIO [0] makes it a non-starter. The memory latency is a big gap to close. [0] https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/io/data-direct-i-o-t...
Right, and I disagree with that post in this sense: there is a social expectation of fitness for a purpose that cannot be disclaimed with a license. Many projects under licenses providing no warranty are nevertheless of…
There is social context to licenses. My employment contract states that I am an at-will employee, so my boss could technically fire me because they didn't like my haircut. If they were to _actually_ do this, I would…
I think the thrust of the complaint is that the society doesn't sufficiently value privacy for its own sake. In a different kind of society, websites of the sort that you describe would be unpopular, because users at…
I think it's quite reasonable to compare defer and destructors, in that case. Destructors probably cannot be usefully imported into C while preserving the simplicity of the language: then you'll want at least unique_ptr…
It does often gloss over the nuance. I ultimately try to estimate how bad I am at assessing the veracity of arguments concerning the topic at hand, which I think is most valuable. For example, I read many conflicting…
I think it is valuable to read a hundred convincingly-written arguments in favor of one point of view, become convinced, and then read a hundred opposing arguments and again become convinced. This maintains my awareness…
That's true. I should add /r/Sino to that list. I also subscribe to ChinaTalk, but I'm not sure how valuable a it is for really gauging what goes on in that part of the net. Unfortunately, I can't read Chinese, so I…
My own experience is that it works quite well for a certain kind of person: on Reddit I was simultaneously subbed to /r/The_Donald, /r/politics, /r/ChapoTrapHouse, /r/Libertarian, etc (while those were still around).…
In my view, the fact that a[b] is equivalent to *(a + b) in C and C++ (in most languages with arrays the latter notation is meaningless) is a sort of a neat coincidence which we shouldn't feel bound to in language…
I think it's a trope because most people really don't need color printing, so that advice is appropriate for them. I, for example, have only ever used my printer to print such things as tickets and documents which must…
Dockerfiles are far simpler than the Nix language. Likewise, sure, FreeBSD had jails first (and for a long time!), but they are more difficult to set up. Docker allowed reproducibility to be accomplished by a person who…
