It could be very useful as a tool to avoid over-fitting though :)

As mentioned there's an inverse trade-off between life and brightness, so if you found a way to make an 1100 hours lightbulb, you could equally make a brighter lightbulb than the competition.

If you break videos up into short chunks, then you could simply encode those chunks on-demand into the perfect encoding for the requester. The advantages are: - You don't waste CPU encoding video into formats that won't be used. -

Right, but then they would only need to refund content purchased in the last 5 years.

IMO it wouldn't matter if they'd used the word "Rent" or "Licence" instead: it would still be unreasonable. Account termination is entirely at Apple's discretion, meaning the term of your "rental&quot

I don't think that's correct - this would only happen if the notification queue was already full. Assuming the notification queue is not full then the original transaction does not wait for the notification to be ACKed. You can av

Most C++ compilers support precompiled headers, which would be the closest equivalent to incremental compilation within a single compilation unit.

The "used from a single thread" aspect is a red herring: RefCell can only be used from a single thread anyway, and the compiler enforces this statically. The "state" value in a RefCell is overhead, although it's f

I don't think you'd need to further complicate DNS, just have a service running that checks a calendar and syncs your DNS TTLs appropriately. eg. - Check if there's a maintenance window in the next [max TTL] - If not, set TTL

I believe they mean that when you poll a future, you pass in a context. The future derives a "waker" object from this context which it can store, and use to later trigger itself to be re-polled. By using a context with a custom &q

AIUI, photovoltaics also lose a lot of efficiency when they heat up, so the ideal place to use them is somewhere cool but with a lot of sun. In contrast, solar thermal runs at extremely high temperatures to begin with, so even in a hot clim

How is that proof? You're again pointing to a design flaw in NPM: that authors can easily delete packages without warning. If you yank a package with cargo, it doesn't break people's builds who already depend on that package,

I disagree: the problem is not that package managers make things easy, it's just that several of them are poorly designed. The fact that pip/npm/gem etc. look for packages in a fallback location if not found in the private re

Have you considered offering an on-premise solution? Ideally a docker image you can easily stand up and point to a postgres DB. I can only imagine using this "for real" if I could actually store the users in a database I manage. T

The UK government did a lot wrong, but we still don't know what a "competent strategy for social distancing and containment" actually looks like. Half the time we look at a country as being a good example of this, things fa

A negotiation can be for anything: it could be to include additional safe-guards in the contract for example... You could even negotiate a higher price in exchange for something more valuable (for example, paying extra per vaccine in exchan

by Diggsey 6y ago
The timing matters because that's when AZ could start ramping up production. It's incredibly expensive to build new plants, and they're already doing this with no margin for profit, so they can't just do that in the hop

So you're suggesting AZ should never have agreed to supply the EU at all? The contract clearly says they're to make their "best reasonable effort" to satisfy this contract. Breaking previous contracts would be unreasonab

That seems akin to predicting the stock mocket... If you, as a lender, could predict before everyone else when the cliff was approaching, then you would stop lending sooner. If everyone does that, then the cliff moves closer, and your algor

According to the Bekenstein bound, the maximum entropy in a given region of space is proportional to the area of a surface containing that space, not its volume so to really future-proof it, we should probably go with per mm^2...

In a subtractive colour model you typically have a fourth channel (CMYK) because simply mixing all three primary colours together still reflects too much light to get good contrast. For E-ink the colours don't actually mix with each ot

I work with someone who just installed this. The effect was that he accidentally muted himself every time he started typing. Not ideal... Filtering out key-presses from the audio stream without completely muting it would be much better.
