Hah, maybe Ted Ts'o is a savvier political operator than I took him for. Invoking a seemingly innocuous (to the mainstream) phrase with heavy undercurrents (to a minority) just to trigger their ire and making them seem unreasonable to

I don't see it. A lapsed maintainer's description of how, in their own perspective, an adversarial rallying cry is less than compatible with a prominent position in a collaborative setting… may be many things, justified or not. Bu

Huh? It totally has a touch screen — it has to, for backward compatibility.

GPU performance should be somewhere between PS4 and PS4 Pro. More memory is a good sign that Nintendo's machine will allow a larger software catalogue than that of the Xbox Series S, where 10 GB has been a severe impediment to porting.

I'd think that this only means that a model cannot suffer from overfitting on average. So, it might totally have been overfitted on your specific problem.

In which specific ways are they wrong, though? Being able to learn from others' mistakes is generally considered to be a sign of aptitude.

So what you're implying is that for roles where other companies do have managed to establish functioning remote work protocols, we should interpret RTO mandates as a public display of organizational dysfunction if they were unable to e

I think this is probably the best place within these comments to note that one thing some people expect of a configuration format is to be able to hide information from the consuming piece of software. Normally, it is often useful for a pro

I think what we are really talking about right now is essentially a pair of jobs that, though both called "software engineer", are vastly different in scope. One of them is a software developer who basically does just that, implem

This exchange is fascinating to me, because I still feel like we're talking past each other. I suppose it could be helpful to think of a job designation such as "software engineer" as sort of a shorthand for "businessper

Do you receive financial remuneration for your services as an engineer? Then I'd say you're engaging in an ongoing business transaction. As such, the parties to the contract this is happening under will each evaluate whether conti

As an engineer — in other words: a salaried employee — you're already a businessperson. How do you negotiate for better total compensation or benefits if you reject knowing, and thus positively influencing, your worth to the company? I

I understand this is the general policy in a few places, like Germany. The general idea seems to be that it is more beneficial to a society if criminals are given a viable avenue to lead non-criminal lives again, with the alternative being

Exactly. Ideally, we'd all follow the Benzite approach, which is to withhold any and all information from one's peers until a complete analysis has finished, and the best possible remedy to the problem has already been applied. Be

In my younger years, I used to employ the Y combinator as a way to avoid naming recursive functions because I didn't want to necessarily dignify single-use code by abstracting it into a named function that I'd never call anywhere

Ironic. A blog post on TLS has TLS issues.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting something, but… isn't this really about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_hash_function ? "Perfect" doesn't represent a statement of quality here, if that's wh

Your computer does not have a problem with non-existing LBAs. The SSD controller might not like missing raw flash addresses, but that's abstracted away from the user perspective anyway, even if for no other reason than the FTL.

This completely kills all of my excitement for WASM, because it is clear that WALI, or something conceptually close to it, will definitely prevail over the capability-based alternatives, simply because people love compiling their existing p

Now I wonder who could have given him that idea. I don't think I've ever seen him put together a line of reasoning by himself.

In medieval Europe, "procreate dreams" were thought to be caused by succubi. This landing page isn't about that.

I am always fascinated by people insisting on base 10 orders of magnitude, which introduces an anthropocentric component to many quantifications where it arguably doesn't make a lot of sense. If you take the natural choice of base, e,

The Chandrayaan programme is driven by ISRO, India's national space agency. It could thus be argued that, by extension, the Modi government is thoroughly owning the LIBS.

Please do not post obvious rage bait. Doing so generally does not foster fruitful debate.

It's both funny and sad how "Google" has become synonymous with "time-limited". You start treating a new API like a pop-up store downtown — it's okay or even good to be interested, but relying on it would be fo

Different people will probably have different experiences. I for one limit my Monster consumption to one can a day, and if that stuff was all that addictive, I don't suppose I'd be able to voluntarily hold myself to that benchmark

I have solved this conundrum by calling the country "Türkiye", while calling the bird… also "Türkiye". Thus ensuring symmetry.
