I'm extremely interest the general feeling and views societies had in the past: how they perceived the present and the future, as a whole. Objectively life has become better and more comfortable for the vast majority of humans since th

Seems pretty silly? It has opened a bunch of issues and is harassing devs on github repos complaining about missing SECURITY.md files? https://github.com/search?q=%22Issue+created+by+Allstar.+htt... No judgement, but I gues

It's a slightly different flavor of the same thing. VS Code is an amazing tool that's getting huge adoption because of how awesome it is, and how open source and community centric it is, etc. They've gotten a lot of mindshare

I thought OpenAI was originally supposed to be some kind of for-the-good, non-profit institution studying AI and its safe use in particular with an effort to make it more accessible and available to all through more open collaboration. This

Emailing patches is a classic git flow, used e.g. by the linux kernel. Git even includes a command to format emails and send them. Nothing wrong with it!

That's not how timing attack mitigation works: just because you're doing some other stuff too doesn't mean the timings can't be exploited.

You can't even use Linux on Intel Macs properly, no chance it'll work on the M1 anytime soon. The kernel might boot in some form, but last time I checked, even the SSD wasn't working on Intel Macs under Linux.

Ah, that makes sense! I always wondered why any search term would just return 8 year old stuff at the top.

Or the case where you work google which goes down and then you can't possibly duckduckgo it, that'd be too humiliating.

I had a hand saw in mind...

by z77dj3kl 5y ago
A more apt comparison would be to using a saw vs using a saw with gloves on. With gloves it's safer and more comfortable, but you're not quite as in touch with the wood as you would be without one. Without gloves you feel badass b

They're a public employer though, no?

Advertising? Have some articles be part of the bundle as a "preview", and most articles behind an individual subscription? This idea of building your own newspaper sounds kind of interesting actually: a mix of authors you've

The social networks are offline. Universities are great at open collaboration, it's just not a kind of online collaboration where anybody can walk in and partake. People spend a lot of time on a different type of communication: going t

I've heard of mathematicians being frustrated by physicists who use fancy stuff without full understanding of the underlying principles, and sometimes they just manipulate the notation without fully justifying what that manipulation me

What do you mean? Mathematics is all about formal verification, i.e. proofs.

Pitting code review against trust and responsibility is just disingenuous. The point of code review is not that you distrust others. It's that everyone makes mistakes and often someone else having a quick look over your changes can com

The OSM style is here: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto There is an issue about converting it to vector: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/3...

Doesn't need to be OMT though. That's just the de facto free & open source tile generator from OSM data.

Yes, you can render raster layers (tile sources). https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/map-tiles/

No, but they will pay 2% more to fix something if it means 5% of customers don't write them off as "awful, unethical, big corp" and not buy stuff from them. There are plenty of examples of companies that did or did not react

Auction design is a very active research area and what the "right solution" is, is not so easy to figure out. This has huge applications in... adtech.

It's random math words put together and doesn't make sense even in isolation.

Yeah, I've noticed this too. Most of the time when you look up something gRPC related, the first links are for some of Microsoft's gRPC documentation! gRPC is one of those projects that I'm not sure if Google really wants upt

It's a tradeoff between software and infra complexity. I would argue that if you've built a system up from scratch, this is much easier to debug and maintain than a foreign piece of software. Rabbit is just way overkill if you hav

This wouldn't be the primary backup, but Deep Glacier is just such a good deal that: I'd be happy to pay the $50 per year for a call option on my data, it'd make me sleep better at night! Part of my calculus is that I have qu

Suppose I have ~4 TB of data. If I dump it into Deep Glacier, it'll be ~$50/year (free ingress), if I ever need to retrieve the data, it's like $370. Normal S3 would be ~$1.1k/yr, or around half of that for the infrequen
