This is 10 year old story. It’s very interesting which ones stay in the public consciousness.

You’re missing context. We are discussing their 5+ other lawsuits.

Only for the larp value. What attributes make it more dangerous?

AR-15 is merely a body style, there is no metric by which it is more dangerous than a hunting rifle.

Sounds like a principled take based on rule of law.

Wikipedia page disagrees with you. Whether they collected that amount, I do not know.

No. I actually don’t think lashing out at any wallet that happens to be in the area will make anyone happy. The people who are responsible are dead.

Don’t forget their many other successful lawsuits: - school administration - rifle manufacturer - the shooters mother (home insurance) - other journalists who wrote about the event I don’t know exactly what compensation they should get, but

I have yet to hear what meaning tolerance has in this interpretation. Surely chairman mao agrees with free speech that doesn’t harm his society and social programs

I agree. The right thing to do is to wait for the task to finish. I wrote that first line in jest, I’m making fun of the notion that blocking = slow = unresponsive.

> you run out of (OS) threads very fast. What does run out mean?
15.
by tightbookkeeper 2y ago
And somehow all these programmers who never care about performance because “computers are fast” become micro-optimizers, willing to restructure every line of code to save a few KB of RAM and rare handful of ms for a context switch.

If you’re talking about the course where you write a linked list, hash table, quick sort, etc. That’s pretty basic and fundamental stuff. And I don’t know why you would like programming. If you’re talking about the course where you prove th

But most windows 98 era Ui programs were 1 or 2 threads…. You just handle events in order in a loop. It works and is far more responsive than what we have today. > Disks are certainly not quick enough to have File.Delete(...) be blocking

The planes are important for collision and occlusion queries. And yes. Intersection of planes is a higher level language than vertices and UVs. It pushes more work onto the computer instead of the human.

A previous employer thought that sql databases didn’t understand graphs. So they made their own system for serializing/deserializing graphs of objects into Postgres . They never used queries and instead had their own in-memory operator

That sounds right. Based on my reading the CDC numbers are basically death with Covid test or symptoms, with the exception of an obvious distinct cause. Which honestly I can’t think of a better way for mass data collection.

by tightbookkeeper 2y ago
I’m not the one claiming Covid is as impactful or dangerous as TB, a very unusual claim. Please make your case.

Can you estimate those absolute numbers for us?
