inflation is low because people are buying less; remember that inflation is calculated based on actual expenses (a "basket of goods" but that basket is adjusted based on how much people are actually spending); demand for the newes

Recursive parsing of CFGs is only better when they're LL grammars, but LR grammars (which are the most common grammar used in programming languages) are definitely better with an explicit stack due to the repeated way the state machine

That’s only used for .NET and other ms technologies. There is a totally different ecosystem surrounding WebAssembly.

You didn’t adjust for risk in your comparison. The s&p 500 has many companies in it that are far riskier than a grocery store chain. Now I can’t say for sure what the aggregate risk is, so you may still be on to something there. In this

I don't know about the mind uploading... but the fact that device is applying electric shocks to a person's body and physically destroying them is a massive problem. Any respectable mind uploading would leave the original in-tact.

That is horrifying that your medical issues could be used against you in insurance, mortgages, and licensing... I'd suggest just leaving the country at this rate or getting the diagnosis in a sane country that won't share this inf

What are you talking about?? We completely understand aircraft lift. Bernoulli's principal is a nearly irrelevant footnote that gives a small boost to efficiency. Aircraft lift is caused by the upward angle of the wings forcing air dow

There's a reason doctors call it "practicing" medicine... (And it has nothing to do with the word practice getting a connotation of imperfect performance long after that phrase came into existence. :D )

It's also contested because while intuitive to a countable set of countable sets, generalizing to higher cardinals is not intuitive. Although the same could be said of the Power Law as well...

I hate you and and the awful layout you have just introduced me to... Also, that is how I will be formatting all my SQL from now on.

That's not that big a deal since the UK is essentially cut off from foreign countries by water (except for northern Ireland, but there's already a ton of exceptions around that...) I wouldn't be too surprised if foreign plate

This is certainly true in some jurisdictions (including Canada where my home country bias lies), but I don't think it's generally true everywhere in the US.

Also, a lot of people may not just need a CPAP machine but a more advanced bipap machine that also pulls instead of just pushes.

This is a great idea. Have you considered moving into the closely related field of localization? If your managing copy all the time then you also have to manage it in different languages. There could be a lot more you can do with that...

Keycloak isn’t really for authorization. It’s an openid connect provider so it really does authentication (identifying who the user is). Maybe they’ve been adding features to make it better or you can shoehorn some authorization into the jw

Latency has always been part of the CAP theorem. There is a strictly stronger generalization of it that says in a consistent system the latency of a transaction is bounded by the latency of the links in the network. In the case of a partiti

Careful, memory barriers/fences have nothing to do with caches, they're for establishing an observed order on when the processor is using out of order execution. The cache still has to be strongly consistent at all times or else t

I'm going to go against the grain here and say I actually quite like this. It's totally non violent. People can still record cops doing their job. They just face challenges posting and sharing such footage on social media. Honestl

Question for others on HN: What if you used many cameras in a row, each separated from its neighbour by a single stiff anchor like a chain of Mobileyes? Then perform calculations between each neighbouring camera and gradually build up the n

I feel that your argument started out very strong but fell off a cliff at the end by making similarly alienating comments to what your parent made.

I think you might run into the issue of whether or not that capacity is actually being provided or just reported. You can definitely track that a procedure was done: you have the patient that you can contact to verify, bills for the materia

I love that this point has been brought up. Everything I see has suggested that our emotional intelligence is actually falling if anything. We're inundated with self-help material that is just the same garbage spewn over again. Everyth
