Didn't even think of this, but yes: 5km/h ~ 1m/s, which is 1/10^8 the real c. This multiplies the sun's Schwarzschild radius (normally ca. 3km according to Wikipedia) by 10^16, making it 3 10^13 km, with 1AU = 150 1

This does not match my experience. The amount of manual tuning needed for memory management in C/C++ (which Java was designed to improve upon) was orders of magnitude greater than with Java just to get it correct, let alone efficient i

In that case, isn't a sufficiently reasoned "why" a contribution in itself? Not trying to downplay the time wasted to reject the PR, though.

Now replace "Claude" by "human" and see how your comment goes. Specifically, humans are known to decide subconsciously, then invent some "reasoning" out of thin air to justify it. This matches my experience wit

I'm not convinced it blows up. It might also end up placing a larger burden on contributors, and especially first-time contributors, to provide concise, high-quality documentation that justifies their contribution. I'm thinking of

The more I think about it, the more I think that bootstrapping the build isn't actually the huge problem it first seemed to be. There are practical problems to solve, but they CAN be solved. In contrast, how can you make sure that the

Just for perspective, the people working on his are pursuing their hobbies and sharpening their programming skills. In contrast, you are using your time to whine about it on the internet.

Opcode mnemonics is something that a tool can show when you inspect a binary. You will need to go up the ladder a lot before the source code is more expressive than a disassembly. Comments are a good point though, but since they do no affec

It saddens me that we're banning speech patterns on HN, not discussing arguments. I have seen this in another thread yesterday(?), where somebody was accused of being an LLM based on speech patterns and downvoted, no further evidence n

I tried and with 1:1 zoom, a "10cm" width DIV was actually less than 7cm. Why even call it "cm" if it is actually "whatever, I don't know"...

Worse, the "press up-arrow to get the previous command, then fix the errors in it" flow is broken when an exclamation mark causes a syntax error.

We put it into the "irrelevant" section because AI is no worse than a human support drone who has no useful knowledge nor permission to act. It is one of those cases where AI is only tangentially related to the actual problem.

This can probably be added to the toolchain pretty easily when non-OSM "signals" are converted to OSM format first. All you need then is an OSM data merging tool, all other tools will then get the same data format as before.

Am I right with my assumption that by "fundamentally different problem", you mean we lack a good simulation model, but that the number of degrees of freedom would actually be manageable?

And yet, you did buy the fan despite the bright LED (because you didn't know it was there when you bought it). Rowenta got your money, so from their perspective, they did everything right.

The article shows nicely how "every byte matters" is false. First, it starts off by talking about the cost of a new field, when the actual topic is array-of-structs vs. struct-of-arrays. Then, this: > How much of an impact can
