    I think this is just low cost/effort to reduce a particular problem. DTLA is the most walkable and accessible to public transit place in the city, the only issue is there's nothing…

    Am I missing something? The CPU dispatching in this library is done at runtime too... I thought FMV only has a penalty on the first call?

    I think the point is more that there's nuance in preventing speech (like censorship) and punishing the actions as a result of speech. I get that some would call those the same thin…

    If you don't actually need higher level math functions or it's prohibitive to implement something at the higher level. For example if you have an operation where you know the spars…

    Everyone should record a video of themselves reading text aloud, while playing the audio back at a 5-20ms delay into their headphones. It's hilarious! Same thing happens when you p…
