I do some sim racing. I can race for hours with a Reverb G2 but get nauseous within minutes with a Meta Quest Pro.

From my perspective: 1. Eye tracking for interaction vs hand tracking. If the UX works out, the amount of precision that can be reached is just far higher with less effort - just seems to be an easier technical problem. 2. Resolution and le

It's also worth noting that this is dependent on model. E.g. I can handle an HP Reverb G2 indefinitely, but a Meta Quest Pro for only about 30 minutes before I feel ill.

IBM = big blue. Red Hat were bought by IBM a few years back.

Obviously, it depends. If you’re anywhere near London, you’ll probably have visited the Oxford Street/Regent Street/Carnaby/Seven Dials areas. The former is pretty horrible with half the shops fairly transparent money launder

It really depends on how automated the prover is, this is kind of like reinforcement learning optimising something unintentionally. Theorem prover bugs are problematic if relied upon, but most of the bugs folks cite are only usable in very

Naked shorting certainly leads to unlimited losses, but it’s not the only kind. Simple example is that i can buy a put option in some company. If the stock price falls below that point, I buy shares and sell them to the option writer and ma

10% is close to the point where airlines would retire their planes earlier in order to reduce their fuel cost, as planes spend their value on fuel every 5 odd years.

I've seen a few 'old boys clubs' form, and the conclusion I've come to over time is that a large part of this is due to two characteristics. The first is that it's very hard to find credible talent. Think about the

I think you're reading a little too much into that. I think it's worth comparing it to other forms of evidence. It's incredibly common in civil disputes for one party to give untruthful evidence, sometimes out of malice, some

I think most EV drivers will tell you that they use the brakes very infrequently - perhaps once or twice per hundred miles if one is driving long distances. Certainly if you're careful it'd be possible to never use the brakes. I t

While it’s true that if you were e.g. traversing a random linked list doing pointer chasing, that might be true, it should be noted that the effective number of operations is significantly improved by the prefetcher. For example, on an i7 9

It's worth saying that GitHub also has GitHub AE, which has some requirements (e.g. 500+ heads) but is a lot better for paranoid administrators, offering stricter audit results (FedRAMP High is no joke), data residency, stricter auth r

Yes, this is the way. Surprising how high level you can make this work - I’ve seen Collection implementations and all sorts.

Java uses thread local allocation buffers such that objects allocated one after another are typically contiguous in RAM. Most modern Java gcs are also compacting, meaning that the heap ends up approximately breadth first ordered after GC. W

And the FAA is a bad idea because it insulates travelers from the need to monitor what their plane is doing?

I know a team who used JooQ (code-generated query builder for Java) to generate SQL which worked on both Postgres and Oracle and worked well enough that they could support both in production (Oracle for top end perf, Postgres for everything

Few things: Regarding unit testing, it's now very possible to productively unit test a SQL database - I'm familiar with a Java package that boots up an embedded PostgreSQL, obviously Docker is now in vogue, etc, etc. It's not

In the USA my expectation is that the higher fees cover two things. The first is much higher all around credit limits - with higher fees you can handle more delinquency. In the UK it's typical to get a credit limit of around 10% of you

This is an older article (2012) showing how one excellent UK university does admissions. I think it covers some of the challenges your statement implies and showing some of the hard work such universities do. There's an interesting ane

I'm not sure about exact ratios, but in general society appears to agree that collective harm is worse. For example, the UK had 'Pals battalions' in WW1, and stopped when they realised that you could end up with whole village

But credit cards in the US also charge about 3%. Paypal’s somewhat pegging to what’s ‘reasonable’ in the locale.

K8s another example. Kind of amazing that Google effectively owns the now-standard deployment solution off of 'we don't really use K8s but want you to build your applications like us and K8s is a bit like something we do use'

It varies on focus area. Most big OSS projects are infrastructural in nature, and so if you're working in that space there's actually a lot of engineers who you meet with OSS experience beyond fixing random bugs. Even then, for ev

Ah, this is a bit of a false one. (A)GPL's pretty great for things that look like applications (or alternatively, pretty much anything GNU's ever made), but for anything looking like a library that is designed to be both free as i

I think there's probably a few things here that are worth a comment: - Information imbalance: from people I've talked to in decently senior roles at even very large companies, it might be surprising to learn that information can b

In general if you’re a professional software engineer, the productivity upgrade of upgrading your tools at least every 5-6 years is worth the money. If you bought high-end-ish laptops in 2021, 2016, 2011, 2006, you’d have gone through 3 di

My experience with Glassdoor is that there is a significant amount of non-disgruntled employees reporting. I think this is because if you want to look at their data, you have to put in some details about your own employer. Certainly most pe

How does Clickhouse handle downstream aggregations? E.g... SELECT AVG(col) FROM (SELECT MAX(col2) AS col FROM table GROUP BY col3) t; type query? Essentially, materialized views which are very unstable? Flink has its retract streams

I’m not sure it is. For comparison, Arm A8 is superscalar (can issue two non-conflicting instructions per cycle) whereas the A9 is out of order superscalar. I think the linked Wikipedia article supports me, no? My understanding is that a st
