There definitely isn't enough _specialised_ software. If you look at engineering tools the open source/free stuff is just not good, and the professional software packages run in the tens of thousands per user. I'm eagerly awa

This point gets raised every single time managed languages and low latency development come up together. The trade off is running "fast" all of the time, even when you don't have to, vs running slow most of the time and tinke

That is the object of the sentence. He is asking who the subject is, in other words the thing or person that is doing the housing of the people. Is it the government? Is it you? I'm currently responsible for housing myself, which is an

It's definitely a step up from PowerApps though.

Perhaps, I don't consider them shitty myself but palates differ. Is engineering nirvana a place where tasks are such that any can been done by a junior engineer, and the concept of engineering skill developed through experience is non-

You can't give a junior tasks that require experience and nuance that have been acquired over years of development. If you babysit them, then perhaps but then what is the point? By it's nature "nuance" is something hard

I work on low(ish) latency trading systems in FX. FIX is the standard communication protocol and familiarity with it is essential for me. Here you can look up the standard message types and tag values: https://fiximate.fixtrading

Websockets can operate outside the request/response model used in this long polling example, and allow you to stream data continuously. They're also a lot more efficient in terms of framing and connections if there are a lot of in

This might be something I'll end up buying, I've got a pair of xm4s and they're beyond irritating. There's no way to permanently disable speak-to-chat so every time I clear my throat the music pauses. It constantly re-en

Honestly it was such a revelation once I bought it. didn't buy it sooner because spending £70 on a toothbrush (+ heads) would have been an unaffordable luxury, and anyway I didn't realise how much better it would be :)

Under $100: Electric toothbrush: Always hated having to brush my teeth and this makes it so much less tedious, also supposedly better for your teeth, from 1-2 times per day to 3 times every day. Under $1000: Nespresso machine, was using a m

They kind of go out their way to highlight that the sample size that chose that option was low. Hardly worth throwing out the article simply because there was an outlier.

Coming from the UK, I'd feel more inclined to listen to these ecological/environmental concerns if they weren't abused in such terrible ways. In general safety limits are calculated with significant error margins, so I'd

Big fan of spaced repitition, especially for language learning. Unfortunately I feel like it fares worse for topics that require more application instead of memorisation, like mathematics or electrical engineering. Would love know if there

Would be a whole lot better if it didn't prune their query logs to x (I think 1000?) characters. We autogenerate many of our own queries which can have significant complexity (regularly over 10 joins, sometimes up to 30!) and our infra

It would be great if they could have released this as an open source project for the community to maintain. Unfortunately there is a lack of good OSS circuit simulators with decent GUI interfaces.

I've been using heavily functional c# at work with LanguageExt for about a year. It has been quite painful, especially when it comes to debugging but also because things like pattern matching are really tedious (eg. imagine a class wit

Congrats to Germany for this one, I wish we could do the same in the UK. It has seemed to me that the planning system in its current state is actually badly damaging our economy and posperity. We don't build enough houses, and when we

Have you actually tried doing this? It's an absolute nightmare. I tried creating SSL test certs for my websockets implementation and just gave up because I just couldn't get them working with my libraries SSL stream implementation

Don't agree with this analysis, it will end just not like that. The workers will have worse and worse living conditions until they're reduced to effective serfdom. Eventually they may rise up and force change through voting or rio

I would think it depends also on your sense of responsibilty. For some people, the person building a missile has as much responsibility as the person who fires it. Other people might look at it as being entirely the fault of the person who

Can someone explain to me why we can't keep growing until the death of the sun? Growth doesn't mean more materials or natural resources necessarily, a microprocessor uses some of the cheapest and most abundant materials and uses l

I don't think many people I know would abandon family, friends, language, and culture to move to a different country unless the incentive was very high. Moving to the USA is also quite hard and the rhetoric around it isn't great s

Yup, exaclty. We seem to have become a nation of landlords seeking to turn a profit without an ounce of effort, rather than the industrious country we once were.

I believe (though I don't have the evidence for it) that we likely see a similar phenomenon in the UK. House prices seem to have become the most important thing to the home owning class and they selfishly oppose anything that would aff

Have yet to see a reasonable crypto defence, probably because there isn't one. The same people would have been writing "In defence of tulip prices" in age of yore except that was not as bad for the environment.

In this case the "greedy" algorithm was guaranteed to give the best possible flow in the network so this speedup applies to the optimal solution. I think in a lot of cases greedy algorithms are used when the alternative is an NP-h

This was my first thought too. How are they planning on chaining these together? Sounds like a non-starter.
