    It made me think of the “step on all the colored tiles without crossing your path” puzzles in Links Awakening! I wonder how the optimal path changes if turns are penalized as well …

    So under most brewing conditions a nonzero amount of this microbe survive, but that count is 3 orders of magnitude lower what might be termed a “therapeutic dose?” What even is a g…

    Though I guess using @decorator semantics would make it look a lot like python-numba syntax

    I think I’m a little skeptical. #pragma is a real keyword in C but # is just a comment in python - why not use a pythonic @decorator? Vendoring a library like this into an app seem…

    Where to stop is a pretty fuzzy question I suppose. In my world, I think the worst possible outcome would be a java.util.json library that does 50-95% of what I currently do with G…

    Fick’s Law. The rate of absorption is proportional to the concentration gradient.

    Reading this gives me considerable pause - I can’t think of many classes within the codebase I work on that don’t have @Slf4j at the top… Since there wasn’t a link to the source co…

    In the Java-verse it’s also do-able with Guice. I’ve tried it with Dagger but bailed (square peg / round hole). I think I prefer Springboot AOP, especially with SpEL. The term “cro…

    I’ve dealt with a question that rhymes with this. Sonarqube or CodeQL reports might tell me what percentage of a repo is duplicated code, and a large percentage of that is in src/t…

    So it’s not UL listed? Do you need the 15V input to torch the capacitors and run the relays? Could I use a 5V USB ESP32 dev board instead, and just put a boost circuit or MOSFET on…

    Really cool visuals, thank you for sharing this. I feel like the importance of padding is a bit understated on this page - BLAS and LAPACK require LDA and LDB parameters, and you c…

    I’ve been skimming the source code and it looks promising for the stated use case. Wondering how to configure and set it up for a producer/consumer scenario where the producer puts…

    I recently finished reading “The Smartest Guys in The Room.” This definitely rhymes with some of the “energy efficiency” shenanigans committed by Enron’s EES subsidiary.

    If you decide to pivot based on the comments in this thread about this turning into UberDrugz, an underserved market adjacent to this space is LTL freight. For an example of this l…

    mAh has always seemed silly to me as well. I get that the actual voltage of a battery is a function of battery charge %, load current, temperature and “other stuff”, but the batter…

    It seems like it’s quite HTTP-centric (like most of the web…). I didn’t see anything on the page about this - can it also intercept / “reverse engineer” service calls that go over …

    Comment #47620782

    I’m trying to wrap my head around the use case this was created for. If a python service dumps a numpy array to bytes and sends that as a payload to a C++ service, is that blob of …

    I am curious, did you check how much your benchmarks moved (time and errors) if at all if you told the compiler to use —-use_fast_math or -ffast-math? There’s generally not a faste…
