IIRC the block was on archive.today's side as a protest against 1.1.1.1 intentionally not supporting ECS. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36971650 https://news.ycombinator.com…

Shockley? The guy whose employees hated him so much they went and founded a rival company which then gave rise to Silicon Valley? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traitorous_eight

Hilariously, "os as g" adds one more byte than it saves, since os is only used 4 times but the alias takes 5 extra bytes to save 4. And "socket as s" comes out even. If you wanted …

Agreed. That said, FDIC would have not been able to cover all $150 billion or so of uninsured SVB deposits directly from the insurance fund, so had that been the only available opt…

Indeed; most personal banking customers can fall back on FDIC insurance ($250k should be more than enough to cover your emergency fund). This isn't the 1920s.

This is approximately the section in the video titled "Memory controllers hate you" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKbgulTp3FE&t=1399s ), combined with the following section. Th…

Eh. It depends what your bottleneck is. If the bottleneck is now, say, CPU cache contention because you've doubled your thread count, it's entirely possible that FL1 running on the…

It depends what dates you're looking at, but energy (gas prices and more) and food (including eggs) are generally recognized as way more volatile than the rest of the CPI. Eggs wer…

Agreed on all those fronts. I'm just dismayed by all the comments suggesting that maintainers just merged PRs with this trojan, when the attack vector implies a more mundane form o…

Looks like the repo owner force-pushed a bad commit to replace an existing one. But then, why not forge it to maintain the existing timestamp + author, e.g. via `git commit --amend…

Well, it shouldn't be slower than "Read 1,000,000 bytes sequentially from memory" (741ns) which in turn shouldn't be slower than "Read 1,000,000 bytes sequentially from disk" (359 …

You probably meant to say oversubscribing, not overprovisioning. Oversubscription is expected to a certain degree (this is fundamentally the same concept as "statistical multiplexi…

So, for 10 pairs, 45 guesses (9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1) in the worst case, and roughly half that on average? It's interesting how close 22.5 is to the 21.8 bits of entropy…

It should be easier to understand the optimal truth booth strategy. Since this is a yes/no type of question, the maximum entropy is 1 bit, as noted by yourself and others. As such,…
