Could it be "command line flag"?

My Seattle Mazda was hit by this bug. The backup camera still functions for the most part, although it does flicker and occasionally blank for a second or two (presumably while the…

It looks like -> on a line of its own means "everything before this implies everything after it". So, for your second example you want x,Hx->Mx -> Hs->Ms which returns "The stateme…

Or sit in a dark room, unable to see anything. There is more to it. See, e.g., https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_theory_(vision)

X-ray lenses don't really exist, although you can produce focused beams (using either reflection or simply collimation). So, these methods typically involve scanning a sample and m…

Yes. The V in HSV is a greyscale value.

In the nexus presentation, they mentioned that a few symbol keys were moved up to soft keys to fit the keyboard while keeping a laptop-like distance between keys. So, it might not …

If you treat the indices as between elements and include all elements that are between the start and end elements, there is only one reasonable choice. It would be more "special" t…

I parsed his comment as "a request that results in 20 nested RPCs completes in a few ms".

>I was gonna say, who calls reversing a tree's ordering inverting? The guy writing the tweet (not necessarily the interviewer).

This is especially true if you have multimodal distributions (such as the income datasets in the article). Although its true that there are simple algebraic properties that allow y…

I don't think that will actually change anything. Two positively slowing lines (of any slope) have, by definition correlation = 1.0. The "random data" he used is just a small amoun…

Here, "good" is on the left and "bad" is on the right. The color is orthogonal (it gives the number of operations with latencies in a given bucket). For example, a red square on th…

For apps that have been popular for a long time, I wonder if there is a negative bias in reviews (beyond that already present in all online reviews). A customer who gets an update …

I agree with you on the need for good dedicated test engineers, but even an apparently low crash rate can be damaging at scale. If you have 10,000,000 customers, a crash rate of 0.…

GCE added Ubuntu support recently: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/operating-systems/linu...

I agree with your first two paragraphs. But, be careful about the last. The pilot wave in Bohmian mechanics is not a wave in space time, but rather a separate physical entity. Basi…

That was a fun one. I seem to recall it taking a day or so to generate a suitably colliding prefix pair using publicly available code. After that the rest was pretty easy.

I'm that someone, and it was written in a weekend on a jail broken iPod touch on iOS 3.2. So, its unlikely that it still works (and I wouldn't recommend using it even if you can ge…

This scheme is only broken if all entities fail to keep their keys secure. In the event of a key compromise, updated keys could be pushed out and used to reencrypt. Of course that …

Friendly pedantic clarification: you get better location accuracy when WiFi is on by combining access point location databases with the GPS signal.

"In the filing, JPMorgan said there was no evidence that account information, including passwords or Social Security numbers, were taken." I wonder what was actually "compromised" …
