~45% of people work for companies of less than 500 people, ~12% for the govrnment (federal, state, local), ~6% are self employed. That leaves less than a half for all the companies…

Over 80% of the federal government's revenue comes from individuals (income tax, payroll tax). On the other hand, I guess the vast majority of politician incomes come from corporat…

For me, unstructured things (like non-formal diagrams, notes, pseudocode) are close to useless. I much prefer sketching the API surface in code right away and then iterating on it,…

I'd say, in this analagy, step two is filling in half the numbers by gut feeling, and then three is seeing how wrong the guesses were and actually solving it.

Also, the default collector, G1, introduced more than 15 years ago. Most JVM GCs are concurrent, too.

Why not go further - learning is doing, not consuming (reading, watching, listening)?

5,283 workers were killed on the job in the United States in 2023. The only thing capital owners risk is losing it and becoming a worker.

Probably "/s", if I had to guess.

AFAIU antirez is mostly writing in C, a verbose language where "create a hashtable of x->y" turns into a wall of boilerplate. In high level languages the length diffrence between a…

It seems actively maintained, latest build on Flathub is from 3 hours ago.

Being always cognizant of opportunity costs also has an opportunity cost in terms of mental health and life satisfaction.

IIRC genetic drift can reach 100%.

There is still glass (and silicone?).

I think Haskell's Software Transactional Memory has used this novel write-snapshot isolation level for close to two decades.

This is done so that the programmer doesn't have to reason about it. Polonius makes the compiler accept code that's obviously valid, but the current borrow checker isn't sophistica…

The problem described in 2018 seems completely unrelated to downfall. It looks like a potential optimization to the original spectre, doesn't even mention AVX gather instructions. …

To me this one feels cluttered, way too much going on. Definitely distracting, but I wouldn't call it beautiful.

Not really. The NH D15 is an impressive cooler, but it falls behind 280 AIOs. Even ones cheaper than itself. https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3571-arctic-liquid-fre...

Semiconductors - Physics inside Transistors and Diodes Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrpPKCDLRN0

The code snippets appear to be full of mistakes. E. g. filter_vec_avx2 doesn't declare the loop variable i and stores input elements into the output instead of their indices. Or fr…

Meaningless because (adequately cooled) modern desktop CPUs mostly run near their boost clock in single threaded loads and somewhere between base and boost in multithreaded.

Short circuiting is a special case of laziness. It's local only, so no thunks are required. The beauty of functions like fromMaybe is they're only that - just plain, regular functi…

Only tail recursion, not tail calls in general.
