Yes, and, Bush-Cheney were the modern forefathers of pushing the unitary executive theory, building on the work of Reagan after a 90’s shaped lull. Reagan took ideas from The Heritage Foundation, who returned in the ‘24 elections pushing Pr

Need to triple buffer or there’s a condition where you have used a plate from the clean pile, but the dirty wash is still running. You’d just have to stand there in the kitchen like some kind of Sims character.

Great Stuff Guys! But I worry the concept of a long-running gag may be lost on today’s youth. If you had some way to illustrate an aging joke, possibly situated near to something much younger (for comparison) I would be deeply obliged if yo

Removing context to make a selective argument is intellectually dishonest. The article contrasts the operating environment of “Big Three” auto-manufacturers across countries. It compares manufacture costs in Germany and Japan with those in

Challenging this axiom is why when I think of the threat model I face traveling from place to place, I come to the inevitable conclusion that I am very likely a target of assassination attempts. Consequently, I ensure that my motorcade of a

One hop from the parent article is a discussion on why these researchers believe it matters. Hacker News comments have been in a bit of an anti-academia, pro-business mood recently, so most relevant question copied below. Imagine an (exploi

Best drop that M from STEM; from the article, and similar recent reporting, the graduate Maths program is one of the indulgences Virginians can do without.

Knowing that group N passengers may be forced to check their bags, the pricing to put yourself in group N - 1 is your “calculated misery”. Repeat across other airline convenience fees like seating.

Sigh… I guess we’re doing this! The term cpu-hotplug in the arm world almost never means hot-adding a new package/die to the platform, we usually mean taking CPUs online/offline for power management. e.g. cpuhp_offline_cpu_device(

CPU Hotplug is a long established name for this process, whether for correctness or power, particularly in Linux Kernel contexts.

I like a good analogy challenge, let me try to shape something around your framework! We sell particularly high-value, unique jewels, that are seated in jewellery. In fact, our jewels are so valuable to us, that our stores are able to modif

There is a large user manual available in “Books” ; https://books.apple.com/gb/book/iphone-user-guide/id15159955... I imagine most iPhone users don’t know it is there!

Why would you consider prediction based on dynamic conditions to be the sign of a dystopian optimization cycle? Isn’t it mostly intuitive that interesting program executions are not going to be things you can determine statically (otherwise

From what I can tell, this is a set of recipes from other medieval cook books, not a translation of “the Boke of Cokery”. In a random sample of ten recipes, each gave a different source and none was Boke of Cokery. Still a great website!

Next you will want a building in which to keep these objects, which will of course need heating and lighting (need I even start to compute the power cost…) and will take up real estate that could otherwise be used for apartments where peopl

I’ve switched out meat for plant-based substitutes for most meals in a week. My reasoning is that a great deal of my mid-week cooking is lazily constructed and only making use of meat by tradition rather than the meat being treated with eno

You are right, I’ve read a quarter’s numbers as the numbers for the year in the naturalisation source. Multiply my estimates for lawful naturalisation by 4 and get to between 400,000 and 800,000 (backed up by 2017-2019 data https:/&#x

The downvotes are likely because you’ve made an outlandish claim that is unlikely to hold up to investigation - that America admits more immigrants than the population of some democracies that criticise it. Total estimated population of una

People have become deeply confused between censoring and censuring. They feel bad when told their opinions are unwelcome and consider it an act of silencing, rather than an act of reprimanding. Calling something a lie and choosing not to en

A very disingenuous comment with a courageous logical leap of faith! What they can’t do is ban people from their platform and say “the FTC made me do it”, unless the FTC actually made them do it. Since the FTC didn’t actually make them do i

The chart shows a "harm score", made up of 16 criteria, not total deaths. I haven't pulled the full article for what the 16 criteria were, but a little more detail is in the abstract on the Lancet where it was originally publ

It is interesting to me that despite considering myself well informed on politics, and having voted in both of the elections you’re talking about, I can’t remember which of you is more correct! Such was the strength of the Tory media covera

Do you know whether this applies to everything which executes? If my build scripts create a build script and run it I guess that will be ok, but if my build scripts build a specialised parser (say, from C source) I need to add a step after

Did you just publish the result of a benchmark or performance comparison test you ran to establish the difference in $/performance ratio between competitors? If so, I have bad news for your license compliance...

So first you malign my choice of how I spend my leisure time with an implicit “my hobby is more wholesome than yours” and now you call me ignorant? I had hoped to add to the conversation by holding a mirror up to your silly “my hobby is bet

I only exercise in ways that require minimum investment. Ones I can do 15-30 minutes at a time with resolution. Stuff like HIIT or 5k runs for example. The only exercise I invested serious time in the last 5 years was a half marathon. Exerc

Clang works much the same way by default. All compilers have to pick a baseline, and assuming it is arch_of(your_core) is a recipe for disaster if you are compiling on your high-end machine for release to a broad user base. For many users o

The GCC community is normally very good (if blunt) at picking up duplicate bugs and linking them to the right place. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/ Is all you need. Just don’t feel bad if your bug is closed!

You say you’re stubborn on what you take an interest in. Could you expand on that? The other prompt that felt interesting to me was that you feel an intellectual limitation in terms of what you retain, what does that look like in practice?
