The extension estimates the "true" dislike count based on the like/dislikes it has in its database. E.g. if the database contains 100 dislikes and 900 likes, but the video has a million views, it'll estimate 1000 dislike

Heya, Dutch person here. Pretty sure that the whole heart problems angle on licorice is at best overstated. I, and plenty of people I know, have occasionally eaten much more than a pack of licorice in a day and survived. I'm sure you p

For shits and giggles though you should get a cheap fountain pen and try cursive with that again for a bit. Yes printing works best when using a cheap ballpoint, but cursive is much quicker given the correct instrument. Still probably don&#

I do mean that. I can't find it now, but I read it some years ago in a news article. The project was slated to run for a loooong time so I've assumed it's still going on. Sorry I can't be of more help wrt sources.

Running trains is rather expensive and generally not something you'd do to test software. Especially given that in this case a software crash can result in a train crash.

House numbers are not numbers in plenty of cases. Youy'll probably want to account at least somewhat for international addresses too, since most companies end up dealing with them sooner or later, if only to tell the customer you won

Generally phone systems like that are set up so forwarded calls jump the queue. This is to avoid people getting stuck in a queue for a long time twice.

I'd imagine so, I just knew about the dutch railways for certain. IIRC they are doing a mechanized translation from COBOL to C++. The idea being to first test that exhaustively, and then slowly manually translate the COBOL-y-C++ to mor

Similarly: I try to keep the amount of horizontal surfaces (floor excluded) in my house to the minimum I can live with. Any available horizontal surface just accumulates clutter. Minimizing that means it never gets to the point of overwhelm

Or do like what the dutch railways are doing: run the old and new systems in parallel on real inputs and check if the outputs match. Then proceed to only use the output for the old system until you're really really sure there'

No reason a hypothetical recursive mtime needs to be atomic. The kernel could just stick it in a buffer somewhere and deal with that sort of think out-of-band and in batches. You'd probably need some filesystem journaling trickery if y

What's that quote about metrics and goals again? Crash testing will need to continually get updated to avoid manufacturers being able to target the tests too much.

Oh yeah for sure. Not at all denying that. PoS is just more on-the-nose about it.

And yet Neopets, which fits that description perfectly, was wildly more popular than even the most popular blockchain based game.

A good tactic may be to teach D instead. It's rather close to C (especially with the -betterC flag which disables among other things the garbage collector) but fixes some of the more egregious flaws. No spiral rule. Proper modules. No

Some of em were spring loaded to where if it got past halfway it'd snap shut all the way. Flicking one of those makes a good noise.

It creates a system where money makes money. It's hardly surprising if that leads to the richest people making the most money. The result won't be more people joining in until the expected reward is low enough, The result will be

Most cars do particularly poorly in overlap crashes. It's why those get tested specifically. it's harder to absorb than a full overlap crash.

The car is only a hard requirement in the US because the country is designed for it to be a hard requirement. It's not some intrinsic fact of reality.

That's on purpose. Used to be they only tested straight-on crashes. Of course this ment that car manufacturers only optimized for that situation. In the real world you're rarely aiming squarely for the front of the other car thoug

I get why thin pillars don't work with modern safety standards, but surely tall windows are fine? There's plenty modern cars with fairly tall windows, like the renault kangoo?

Hub servers basically serve a world whose sole purpose is selecting which server to connect to. Sometimes they'll include an item shop or the like.

It's gonna be totaled in either case I imagine. Can hardly imagine the battery catching fire without somehow damaging the rest of the car.

Rocketry traditionally contains a lot of euphemisms like "off nominal situation". E.g. the self destruct system on rockets is generally called a "range safety package". I do feel like it's distinct from corporate

My mom got one mainly because it was convenient for transporting my grandma. Not many cars you can exit from sitting height. Of course it also fits a lot of crap when e.g. going on holiday. It's an odd in-between between a sedan and

Presumably they needed people to keep working, instead of being glued to the news. Harsh but in the case of an ISP makes some sense.
