This can probably be added to the toolchain pretty easily when non-OSM "signals" are converted to OSM format first. All you need then is an OSM data merging tool, all other tools w…

Am I right with my assumption that by "fundamentally different problem", you mean we lack a good simulation model, but that the number of degrees of freedom would actually be manag…

The message in the dev tools is, at least for Chrome, extremely developer unfriendly: The blocked request is displayed in a very strange way, without any information that it was bl…

And yet, you did buy the fan despite the bright LED (because you didn't know it was there when you bought it). Rowenta got your money, so from their perspective, they did everythin…

The article shows nicely how "every byte matters" is false. First, it starts off by talking about the cost of a new field, when the actual topic is array-of-structs vs. struct-of-a…

This was bad wording on my part. I wrote "open" but that should have been "files in the workspace/project". Really, "open" WRT files is so overloaded already, they can be in the wo…

Ideally, the permission list is meant for curators which end-users trust and can rely on. Also, historically, permission lists have been fine-grained but too coarse at the same tim…

Bonus points for the kafkaesque responses you get as the end-user when you try to actually pass that information upstream where it could be fixed...

So? Many would prefer a DoS-type event over spending $WHATEVER_THEIR_HARD_CAP_IS. This is kinda the definition of a hard cap, so you would place it sufficiently high that DoSing yo…

It seems hard to believe that a one-hour delay on such a counter is impossible to achieve, and one hour would reduce the risk from "catastrophic" to "serious problem" in most cases…

I think there is: It is the line between "not spending extra money to make sure it works" and "spending extra money to make sure it won't work". There is a related problem with war…

This may sound absurd, but it was a mental breakthrough for me to realize that all these "what-ifs" (multicore 6502 computers or whatever) are really simple to simulate in software…

By that logic, operating system developers struggle to understand that putting two files with the same name into the same folder(1) is very much possible in the physical world. (1)…

Questioning standard nomenclature is useful too, as long as it provides insight and is not just bike-shedding. "optimization" (in the context of an optimizing compiler) is generall…
