OCaml predates multicore CPUs. Having a global lock was basically free at the time it was invented. It's totally crazy to dislike a language because the authors made a decision that was obviously correct at the time.

> if you reduce latency from one second to a hundred milliseconds, could you celebrate that you've made it 10x faster Yes you can, because speed has units of inverse time and latency has units of time. So it could be correct to say

That's an interesting update. I remain a bit skeptical based on the fact that the obvious sources I'd look to for this sort of thing haven't updated on that study (it seems to be https://www.tandfonline.com/do

I'm not sure what conclusions you think we should draw from that. California's advantage over Washington is primarily one of size - Washington's GDP per capita is actually about 3% higher than California's. The most gene

Typewriter keys cost money, and dropping the 1 allowed them to drop a key without significantly affecting the use of it. As far as I can tell, that's effectively the entire rationale. This wasn't meaningfully the case prior; the p

Labeled tuples are effectively order-independent. Your implementation's order has to match your interface's order, but callers can destruct the labeled tuples in any order and the compiler will do the necessary reordering (just li

Why would that be more correct? A trailing dot indicates that a domain is fully-qualified, but that's not the issue here. The browser is trying to decide whether your query is a search string or a URL. Also, a trailing dot would indica

Putting a slash '/' at the end consistently gets you there, at least in Chromium-based browsers. We use this a lot at work (via DNS search suffixes, not private TLDs).

18f built but did not then manage login.gov. It was handed off elsewhere. The implication of them managing it was that disbanding 18f left login.gov ownerless (or at least handed off to some group that knows nothing about it) which does not

I would assume they're pointing at the comment at the top of this thread ("They built / manage login.gov?") rather than the article itself.

Ah, we draw a distinction between checked-in generated code and JIT generated code, and the former does show up in code review (which is sometimes the point of checking it in - you can easily spot check some of it to make sure the generator

Our code review process involves a reviewer explicitly taking ownership of the PR, and I think it's a reasonable expectation with the right practices around it. A good reviewer will request a PR containing 1000s of lines be broken up w

All of the months with numerical prefixes are wrong by the same offset, though. So as long as you remember that as well, it can be useful. Particularly since they're the last ones and thus take the longest to count to.

September is a funny choice to use as an example, because it is named after a number (sept-: prefix, 7). The wrong number, though.

In fact, it sounds like the 40% includes all exits, including those that returned only 1x. That would mean that the 60% is all 0s, and that the chart shows a negative total return in all rows, without even discounting for the holding perio

Gap insurance covers a tightly-bounded amount of loss (it will never pay out more than the remainder of your loan), which is why it's so cheap. That's also why it's a great target for self-insurance - you know exactly how mu
