I did not mean literal you neither. If “you” (the machine) are so smart, then you don’t need information exchange with “others”, so no need for “trust”

Then why would you need this information exchange at all?

I’m talking about using debuggers not even to debug, but to familiarize yourself with the codebase and gain general understanding. Measure of progress for me is formulating and ans…

Using the debugger to understand/read code is invaluable. Seeing live stacks is so powerful compared to static analysis.

> At this stage, it has nothing to do with xmin and xmax, but rather because other transactions cannot see uncommitted data Am I missing something or this statement is incomplete? …

Ok, this article inspired some positivity in my view. Here comes, of course a disclaimer that this is just "wishful thinking", but still. So we are in the process of "adapting a te…

Now this is just Moscow in summer

I couple of years ago I would ask to collect your coworker’s garbage bin :) Not as easy to find in my vicinity, at least good ones, which is of course true for any language and pro…

For me the title is a bit of a contradiction: I always think about the library as “the final language”. So author’s example of RoR/Ruby is “RoR is a great web service language that…

I believe a reasonable push back to this surveillance increase should be “incresing law precision”, like “fines for making a really dangerous maneuver vs driving fast on an empty r…

I wonder how this is the most straightforward way to know that?

Hey, community! Thank you for this opportunity to connect and feel closeness to the best parts and people in our industry. Thank you for your open mindedness, smarts, stupid fun an…

The most fun on this site is solving a problem and then having your mind blown by solutions in Apl/j/k and trying to guess what they mean without knowing anything about those langu…

You mean that they don’t have access to whole opponent behavior? It would be hilaroius to allow table talk and see them trying to bluff and sway each other :D

thinking then, that requires the extra oxygen

can you provide more context for this claim? my intuition and experience tells me the opposite. what is the definition here? are impulsive avoidance copings like playing a video ga…

there certainly is if you consider 50 moves rule. And you can derive an easy upper bound from that as 50x8x8x2 (basically each 50 moves you make a pawn move) if you only consider 3…

in chess lingo the most common is “legal moves”

I thought “there is no chess problem that is both reachable from starting position and requires more than 218 moves to solve”

> The avoidance of the words in no way devalues the achievement. You basically say that “there are no miracles, this is just an engineered system that we can reason about and study…

The whole possibility of it. If you put yourself in a position “one foot from success”, then you will be able to devalue any achievement this way. If you see from the point of “emp…

I view this process like this: code review is a communication tool: you can discuss concrete decisions vs hand waving and explaining in the conceptual space, which of course has it…

Well, Oscar Wilde argues in “The Decay of Lying” that there were no stars before an artist could describe them and draw people’s attention to the night sky. The basic assumption he…

But what I dont unserstand then is the spike at the end that goes away with “direct summation”, I expected there be no spike for larger files because of the prefetching. The only e…
