Plot twist: It's not actually scalable because no amount of tools and buzzwords can compensate for the lack of experience in proper architecture for scaling.

And compute-intensive hash functions. Computers this day are powerful enough to hashcat each individual pwd+salt if a fast hashing function is used.

I think the common confusion boils down to: > The moment of capturing a measurement is known as a metric event Which suspiciously reads like a log. In practice, a metric is an aggr…

It blows my mind OpenAI wouldn't be able to build a Windsurf alternative for orders of magnitude less than $3B.

It _is_ equivalent to a back door, that's the point. The UK demand can be accessed more rapidly and properly by disabling the feature than by implementing a backdoor, since it is t…

Do they have an incentive to learn? If the reward process in the company also consider it "out of scope" (meaning the remaining work is scheduled as such), there is nothing to real…

*Cinephiles took the DVD boom era for granted The reason it ended is because the general public doesn't care.

Those people seem to have a passion for developing package managers (instead of just seeing it as a tool that needs to do the job), and as long as it is the case, I don't see how w…

It can take an arbitrary amount of time. Modules are just code executed top to bottom, and might contain anything beyond mere constants and functions declaration.

Code coverage proves that the code runs, not that it does what it should do.

Unless you want an empty test suite or a test suite full of `assert True`, the reward function is more complicated than you think.

The update affected less than 1% of all Windows machines. [1] Although maybe the biggest software failure in history, far from the biggest possible one. The level of cloud connecti…

Board state itself becomes unique pretty quickly, so you would just end up with a gigantic lot of "moves" played only 1 time. EDIT: so you could define "rare" moves as the biggest …

Looks like this missed the opportunity to load the board in JS from the URL to be truly static.

Excellent advice. On the technical side, I believed waiting was due to the lock queue rather that having acquired an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock. The ALTER is specifically _waiting_ for …

I'm not sure information theory deals with this question. Since this isn't lossless decompression, the point of having no "real" data is already reached. It _is_ inventing things, …

I guess 1080p was the big shiny edge thing back at the time. 35mm can supposedly be scanned beyond 8K, so you could theoretically consider 4K filming not good enough neither.
