   To quantify this, India had a per capita CO2 emission of 2.07 tonnes per year, while Sweden had 3.43 (2023). Sweden used this to achieve a 58,100 USD per capita GDP (2025) compared to India's 2,878 USD all while using a non-unsignifica

   At university we implemented a DCT+quantization encoder/decoder for audio, and had a buggy version produce these super alien, beautiful sounds. I've often wished I had saved that version.

   So what would you say about the PRISM and Upstream programs where metadata about millions of Americans was collected? Doesn't it seem as if they could target any US citizen by just pretending to target any foreigner they communicate wi

   The vendor responses seem pretty strange: > Magesolution (MGS) did not respond, but the backdoored packages can still be downloaded from their site as of Apr 30th. > Tigren denies to have been hacked, but the backdoored packages are s

   12 collapses seems incredibly generous, I don't think I ever had fewer than five blackouts in a day for the few months that I stayed there. Maybe it's better for data centers than hotels but I really don't believe that there&

   One reason to care about this is that random number generators are a very lucrative target to attack for security services. See for example ECDual https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/767.pdf or Linus Torvalds' answer abo

   I agree and I'm not sure what language I would choose myself if it was up to me. In reality, we deployed to kubernetes with redundant instances and memory usage was the limiting factor with kotlin and it would not have been with rust.

    While I didn't try kotlin native, I did try porting the micro service from spring boot to micronaut + graalvm native and the memory usage was pretty much identical to spring boot.

    I just like programming and I ported what I wrote at work to rust in my spare time. Basically I was thinking about if rust would be viable at work and in my spare time I tested the hypothesis.

    I've ported a lot of services from kotlin to rust. In my experience the kotlin code is about half the size of rust, and has about 200 mb + 2*x the memory overhead. Kotlin code probably takes about half of the time (or less) to write co

    I've owned two Bose headphones and both broke in unnecessary ways, especially the second where the plastic headband connecting the drivers broke and they would not simply repair it but I had to buy a new pair (so I bought Sony instead)

    It's somewhat telling that they chose Stockfish as the oracle and not AlphaZero.

    I know that it was decoded into 2 micro-ops and thus had to be decoded by the wide decoder, so perhaps 2 cycles?

    My experience with kotlin and c# is that in kotlin it just works, even with java interop, while in c# nullable value types seem like a far leakier abstraction.

    Yeah, how does the proposed solution solve the problem as stated: "Print the number of bytes whose value equals 127 in a 250MB stream of bytes uniformly sampled from [0, 255] sent to standard input ."

    I think that sounds normal. The mind's eye is more like evoking the sense of seeing something without actually seeing it.

    My situation is similar to `dwighttk` in the comments you link to, I have stats (as in `brew home stats`) showing CPU/GPU/RAM/Network, then the standard macOs stuff + magnet + weekday and full date and time and nothing is eve

    Does it really? For me, finder is below the level of what's acceptable, so I use a replacement. I also use magnet for arranging windows, but apart from that I find the experience far better than windows or linux. Maybe I'm missing

    From the article you linked it sounds more like a vehicle used to transport the money during or immediately after the robbery was what led the police to them. "Despite the daring robbery, what ended up solving it was not that exciting:
