OP was ambiguous, he means that the article "The Cost of Enabling Exception Handling" that was linked only applies to Windows x86, not to Windows AMD64 or the Itanium ABI. The Itanium ABI and 64-bit Windows have near-zero cost whe

I mean you claimed categorically that they definitely do not do it, and now it's changing to maybe they do in some parts of the company. I feel like it's common on HN for people to overstate their credentials, only to find out tha

I don't know what the percentage is, but I am finding articles dating back almost every year back to 2016 saying that Tesla does stack ranking, whereby some percentage of people with the lowest performance reviews are terminated. It ma

Only about 1 in 5 people who use cocaine become addicted to it [1]. It also looks like it's pretty hard to overdose from cocaine alone. Overdoses seem to happen due to impurities mixed into the drug. [1] https://www.michigan

Don't see any evidence that it's worth 3 billion dollars. All I see is a quote from Rihanna herself saying she thinks her company can raise that much by the time they IPO. Forbes estimates the value of her company at 1 billion on

>It was never stated that a Turing Machine could be simulated completely, but that one can choose an N that is large enough for a given need. What I read was that an FSM can be used to simulate Turing Machines that always halt which was

Not quite sure I follow. There is a Turing Machine that will halt for any input you give it and return true if that input is valid HTML, and false otherwise. There is no FSM that can do that. For your second point about iteratively rebuildi

This is most certainly untrue, a finite state machine can only decide a regular language. Pushdown automatas, which can decide context free languages, also always halt but there is no finite state machine that can simulate them. In other wo

Yep and what's worse is no parent is going to ever admit that they gave their child unlimited screen time and now their child is addicted. Anecdotes that exhibit this kind of asymmetry are effectively worthless.

by Kranar 4y ago
Can you cite those experts? I am genuinely asking because the research I've seen is mostly mixed and inconclusive but does lean more towards what OP is saying. There are tons of articles that say screen time is bad, social media is bad

The $10B was the development of the very first XBox and no, MS never made 10B in income on that console, on the contrary MS lost 4 billion dollars on the first Xbox [1]. The total revenue for the entire Xbox division as a whole is currently

To the best of my knowledge it's negative so far but it's very hard to tell since MS only reports revenues but not the expenses. I'm guessing Xbox's main purpose right now is to serve the purpose of keeping MS relevant t

My experience with those generated CC numbers has been poor. A lot of sites somehow recognize them and reject them.

Imagine we were talking about the population of countries, and you made the assertion that "4 million people live in Canada" and then when I point out that "No, 40 million people live in Canada" you get into a hissy fit

To the extent that you've made verifiable statements, involving actual concrete numbers or claims that can be sourced, they have all been incorrect so I'm not sure what there is to misunderstand. It's very unpleasant for me t

About 12 million people watch the NFL on Twitch. Not sure what you count as a heyday, but LoL was always more popular than SC2 as an eSport. LoL's first championship was in 2011 and debuted with 1.69 million viewers. The peak viewershi

LoL doesn't get 200k viewers, it gets 2-5 million viewers [1]. Blizzard officially sponsors the ESL Pro Tour and DreamHack SC2 Masters [2]. LoL is also older than SC2, it was released in 2009 whereas SC2 was released in 2010. I am not

Are you being serious? What is your experience or background with SC2? Do you watch it or play it? At any rate, the average game duration for GSL is 00:07:51. You can review the statistics here: https://liquipedia.net/starcr

You make it seem like 8-10 openings is diverse. 8-10 openings gets very stale and repetitive for a game that only lasts about 6-8 minutes with only 1-2 minutes of actual engagement (and 4-6 minutes of setup).

Fair enough but at least we can quantify what people mean by solid. I think for most people, viewership of 5-10k is absolutely abysmal, basically dead. You can get 5k people to watch almost anything, including people eating copious amounts

Definitely not the first eSport. People played Warcraft 3 competitively, not to mention you also had arcade game tournaments like Street Fighter 2 that go back to the 1990s.

I play SC2 and watch from time to time. I don't see how you can claim there are longer term strategies at work when the average game lasts about 6 minutes, and the first minute or two of the game are basically "filler". I thi
