    I'm also not sure you can really learn chip production from widely available public information. It's a hugely complex industry where the details tend to shape larger strategies. F…

    You can do better than O(N^2) if your changes are monotonic /independent (or you're able to cache for basically the same reason). This usually requires either luck, a huge amount o…

    If your CEO is going around talking about how your product will "most likely lead to the end of the world", people are right to expect you to be pretty careful in what you're doing…

    It's entirely possible they're using something like block floating point, where most of the hardware is simply fixed point. AMD's NPU does this, for example.

    Even if that's the case, max_user_watches is never less than 8k unless you've set it lower for some reason. If the editor is prioritizing currently open files as it should, there s…

    Not exactly a strong argument if you need like 5 qualifications to demonstrate the issue. If the right node fails, if it happens right as you walk up, if it's raining, if your porc…

    Do you have any hard numbers from your community on how many cases had flock as crucial to resolving the case? When my community banned them, the police were only able to offer a s…

    I'm building an EMR and there is a large portion that is CRUD, but that doesn't mean I don't rely on enormous forms or don't need client-side validation. Another way to interpret t…

    How long did it take you to review things for correctness? Like an incremental query engine is a few thousand lines of reasonably difficult code on its own, a reliable WAL is anoth…

    That would explain why mine is increasingly lagging as it ages. Unfortunately, the libra H2O went with eMMC for water resistance, so replacement is slightly more involved.

    I don't know why you're telling me this. It's not like I agree with the article. I'm offering it as an example of people who think DWB is political.
