I appreciate the fact that IMB is trying to present a optimistic view of the future. Not all sci-fi needs to be negative or dystopian, and his remains plausible despite its optimis…

1. Exercise good judgment about what projects are “away team-able”. Be okay saying “this needs to be done by our team” even when that’s hard. Otherwise you’ll end up with tricky fe…

How does that work when the thing you want to change is a complex micro-service with a public API? Do you want to spin up your own version of that service and own it forever? Even …

There are more than two kinds of infinities. Consider the set of all subsets of the real numbers. Also the rationals are countable by diagonalization.

This should never happen on Prime Video. Major breach of customer trust. If it’s happened to you please call customer service and complain. If they can’t fix it or refund you, plea…

I don’t follow. It’s exactly like C in this regard, except with Box::new instead of malloc.

I feel like this is easier if you’re a non-lever-puller. If you think it’s wrong to pull the lever if it causes anyone’s death who wasn’t dying anyway, then most of these are easy.…

I think (3b) isn’t true, since the sanctions are effecting every part of Russia’s economy. And while the petroleum industry is like 40% of their exports by revenue, the other 60% i…

Is it really sane to have a world of software that can’t survive new compiler or loader warnings? That just seems crazy to me

1. The parent comment is referring to waste in the environmental sense. Nature does not care how expensive the trash was--just the volume/composition 2. It's a big stretch to call …

How is removing 3rd party kernel modules a “pure political decision”. Do you really believe there are no technical/security factors behind this choice?

Like: https://github.com/mheily/libkqueue ?

Nit: you cannot see the Great Wall from space unaided: https://www.nasa.gov/vision/space/workinginspace/great_wall....

I think this comment implicitly assumes that just because people survive on less than 18, it’s livable That’s not necessarily true, since many people around or below the poverty li…

Bounds checking, dynamic dispatch is more expensive, wasm semantics have no undefined behavior to exploit for optimizations. And there is bloat in the process. I’m sure losing info…

10% worse performance. Not 10x worse :D

I worked on one as an undergrad: https://github.com/gwsystems/aWsm Full AoT compilation, C programs run within 10% of native

The issue here is that YouTube (and other platforms) encourage this. It works, in that if you ask people to like comment and subscribe, they like comment and subscribe more. (And t…

I understand this comment was made before the edit. However, is it really that surprising that “build a wall” narratives and racism to hand in hand? (It’s not as if the border wall…

I think this is fundamentally a regressive idea. Currently the very poor pay zero (or effectively zero) income taxes. No matter how you structure the sales tax, you cannot go below…

Who are the “they” here? I’m assuming you’re not calling trans people abnormal, right?

1) People are calling this an “insurrection” because it’s so directly an attack on country leadership. (Whereas the incidents you’re referencing are predominantly riots and attacks…

I think that squashing commits sometimes make sense. Like is it worth retain two commits if the second one is just fixing the formatting, logs, or metrics from the first one? Also …

I don’t think this take is quite right. In the early/late game, sure it can end up being memorization. But the game has so many states that the mid game tends to be quite complex a…

Maybe I just misread this article but it really sounds like they don’t own YOLOv5. It’s someone else’s project they think is cool and are amplifying. If that’s right, then I think …
