I don't think the title is that misleading. We talk about the sonic boom as something that happens when we travel faster than the speed of sound. We don’t specify “in the same medium you’re traveling in”, and noone reasonable thinks “i

What I find wild is the presumption that with a prompt as simple as “I want to wash my car. My car is 50m away. Should I walk or drive?”, everyone here seems to assume “washing your car” means “taking your car to the car wash”, while what I

I think it's a bit disingenuous to reduce the article to a single sentence that's in parenthesis and links to a widely shared publication about an a MIT report. Especially when said article continues with "Don’t get me wrong:

The idea seems very cool. I didn't create an account because it's asking for my email address when using my google account. Don't want more spam. Also, some decisions seem more politically charged than necessary, like using &

Some could argue that the transistor wasn’t an invention but a discovery: the physical behavior of the semiconductors has existed for millennia, and we discovered that behavior, but we had already invented vacuum tubes before which did the

I'm not sure if the linked pages was updated recently, if I'm completely misreading it or if you're trolling. There's only one processor family (matisse) that's documented as "no fix planned). All datacenter pr

I’m going to rebound on that and explain why it doesn’t make sense to hold on to RSUs. Disclaimer: I’m an IC myself. I worked for my 1st company for 15 years. Held to their RSUs most of the time. Then moved to another (public) company and s

I’ll play with you: It might not be such a bad thing to increase cost of trans-oceanic transportation. Right now we’re shipping stuff that makes little sense no to produce locally simply because (cost of overseas labor + cost of transportat

When B wakes up the 1st thing it does is state.exchange(sleeper,…), which returns unlocked, and set the state to sleeper. I think it works. I had some concerns about the second one, but I think it works too…

Really nothing disingenuous here. “Trusted by top companies with learning budget” is pretty damn clear and accurate. All in the same font, so there’s no “fine print” argument to be had either.

seeing as some people have already added some comments criticizing the code of conduct, I thought I'd add what I think is the most important parts of that code of Ethics : > No one is required to follow The Rule [...] or even think

Who cares about screen refresh rate? It’s not a FPS, if’s a webservice for bookmarking. If they can stay under 100ms, everyone would be fine. 16ms is starting to flirt with the limitations of your eye, without even taking into account info

translation of the main points (of the linked article, not the full 43-pages BEA-RI report) : Fire started simultaneously in a battery and and in a power inverter. It doesn't look like there's any comment on why/how it starte

I’m totally happy using the properties format from java. There’s comments, it’s easy to grep. Main missing part are value types and multiline (or maybe it’s there, I’m not sure). The parameter reference substitution would be nice to have t

no only paying the warehouse, but also you'll soon be on the hook to pay for part A, B, C and E even though you have no way to sell the widget you were supposed to build with them. And if you're really lucky, those stored parts mi

Here, take my upvote. Can’t remember the last time someone seemed to genuinely apologize, explain what act they’re apologizing for, acknowledges their knowledge gaps and seems to actually thank their corrector, all the while sprinkling the

The beginning of your post did sound like a lot of bragging. Once I got to the end, I felt that I could have written a large part of it... Feeling of being rarely challenged, loneliness, frustration with slowness, and urge to go and fix &qu

Being from Paris and living in The bay area, a lot more women breastfeed here than in France. Even in the countryside of France, where my extended family is, few women breastfeed. Please let’s not make blanket statements about Europe vs USA

I just don’t understand the answer. Seems to be conflating “energy cost” and “financial cost” under the same umbrella. I don’t think Prometheus is disputing the energy costs of “the physics required to assemble a molecule”. Current processe

As others have said, you seem to be focused on the deep technical aspect of your projects, with no clear customer or market. What is the driving force behind your attempts to start a software business ? IMO, that is the most important quest

The word « apathy » is a pretty important one, and that’s what they responded to. Depression is not necessarily accompanied with suicidal thoughts and dark feelings. For many depressed people, « apathy » is a pretty accurate description. So

Is really 99% accuracy good enough. A 1gHz computer does 10^9 operations each seconds, 10^7 of which would be inaccurate. That sounds like a pretty high number to me, but I’m no quantum scientist

Honest question : as a GoF researcher, wouldn’t I generate thousands (millions) of mutations from my 1st virus pool, which would each have a low number of mutation (s or n) compared to the original strain, then “select” the most resistant o

Maybe you didn’t fit the addiction part of aloholism, but when it comes to consumption, a 6-pack a day definitely puts you in that category, along with associated psysical and psychological risks. I’d definitely mention that level of alcoho

Even for stuff as simple as handling LOBs, I buffer on both read and writes. Some DB APIs really do “what you tell them to”, even if that means being unbearably slow when unbuffered The worst I’ve seen was actually streaming the LOB on getL
