So fun fact, if you compile int sum(int n) { int sum = 0; for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) { sum +=i; } return sum; } clang, with -O2, will turn this into the polynomial (n+1)*n//2. It can a

Microsoft and Apple preceded the dot com bomb by several decades. (Microsoft 1975, Apple 1976) Amazon was a company that was around and survived the dot com bomb (founded in 1994, roughly around the time of the beginning of the bubble) [tho

It is this argument, about what benefits the jaguars themselves bring to the farmers, that is unfortunately lacking from the article. Thank you for the additional context.

I don't get it. The article's title is that the ranchers have become allies to jaguars and pumas. But nothing in the article supports that view. What has changed are cattle ranching practices that reduce the opportunity of attack.

Trump is notoriously transactional. If the unions continue to play ball, he might apply leverage in their favor.

Do they actually provide applications the ability to access raw camera data? They don't allow that on the Occulus. They can only rely on 3p devs if they allow access to the hardware.

The Jacquard Loom predates that by over 80 years. I'm sure we can stretch the definition further and go back even farther.

I mean, say what you want about Meta only releasing the weights and calling it open source, what they're doing is better than this.

I mean, if you want to argue it's a Non Profit, not a business, go ahead, but I'm not particularly interested in fitting modern tax code and business rules to an entity that has existed for 1500 years. The organization has existed

This doesn't explain why the insurance companies don't have an incentive to fight back. If Acadia is engaged in insurance fraud, the insurance companies have every incentive to stop that.

Sounds like fun :) You should write up a blog post where you had to debug some weird gnarly issues. A lot of us higher up the tech stack are pretty far removed from the signals level issues you're talking about but would love to hear a

Based on what it seems that you're asking, it is not, and cannot be, a foolproof process. consider int getSpecialArrayElement(char *array, uint64 key) { i = computeOffset(key); return array[i]; } Compute offset can b

They aren't a book; they're a tutor. Tutors cost recurring money. A brief google search shows that in my area, 1 hour of math tutoring goes for $50 / hour. Can they achieve equal or better results than a tutor? That's a
