    I have to assume that unless the cost of buying at costco and driving back home is higher than buying it all at amazon and having it delivered. The total price + driving cost is a …

    So how do you trace the boards? I am assuming that you put the board at the correct angle on the floor, let it go over the upper entry floor, use a ruler to extend the line of the …

    Maybe they could have included an option to switch between GC implementations, like Java had done before. Maybe in all those years they could have thought of that.

    I honestly doubt this; very few companies have enough data. Maybe we could see mergers so it happens but basically it would mean everyone would need to be Google sized for it to wo…

    Very few people are going to play this on a CRT, tho. And even if you included a CRT shader, most people will turn it off. It's ok to pine for the old techniques, but this is a gam…

    This is great but keep in mind that Go allows the programmer skip these invariants in various ways. I wish Go had a serious type system. Never mind algebraic types, but one that fu…

    Newer, more expensive console runs better than older, cheaper one. Insane.

    I will give you 4. 1, 2 and 3 happened a ton in the good old times before AI. If anything, we can make the code be more tested than before, but that requires a lot more engineering…

    Don't say single nine, it sounds ugly and bad. Say five eights of reliability. Maybe six.

    Worst case, meta will sue the programmer who produced infringing code. I mean if the code is not copyrighteable that does not mean anything; it's just public domain code except tha…

    Surely there are existing rails right now that could be transformed into a bullet train line. Like properties and regulations are a true problem, but it's not like trains don't exi…

    Right but who is going to prosecute? the Department of Justice?

    I mean they could just feed the solutions into the training data. Then suddenly the bot will do real good at HLE.

    USA won't injure or kill 1 in 25 of young adults in the Iran war, unless somehow Iran does have a nuke and wants to use it, come on.

    You are not telling the whole story. You can mix indentation and braces to delimit blocks. It's insane.

    Dunno about Xcode, but if you put a go compiler in there, I doubt it will compile or run slowly. Some dependencies may require C, but you could avoid that mostly.

    Have you ever looked at a dollar bill in your life. Who do you think printed it. Who signed the bill? The US can just print money and receive goods in exchange of literal paper. Or…

    No company ever got a man to the Moon. Sure, some companies participated in the process. But it was a government that did it. It's been more than 50 years and private companies hav…

    Conservatives discovered a cheat code to get: (a) people to have to identify on the computer everywhere and (b) control what they can do with and without this identification. Of co…

    This whole thing is the problem. AngularJS was released in 2010. If in 2010 I'd know that the damn thing would die in 2021, and that I would have to rewrite it all by that date, I …

    Well yes, but the coincidence that Quarks have charges of multiples of another particle, that is not made up of quarks, should rise your brow, shouldn't it? Like we could accept co…
