No they are not equally qualified to discuss the moral aspect of it because they have nothing at risk. It's very easy to make cheap moral claims when there is nothing at stake. What's interesting is the kind of moral decisions and

If the person bringing up the hypothetical were remotely as talented as the people on this list and then made a claim that they'd refuse a free $100,000 in order to advance their interests, that would be a worthwhile discussion. Then w

The point of my post is that there is nothing particularly significant about claiming that you would refuse to take money from someone who is never going to offer it to you to begin with. It's a completely worthless and trivial stateme

Coming up red 10 times in a row is expected to happen once every 2000 rolls. Given 45 spins an hour that means a table will spin red 10 times in a row once a month. Given a casino with 20-30 tables you can expect to see it once a day. Hardl

Comparing a dude who quit their job to court a woman and lift weights while living off of their friends income to the plight of blacks in America or European Jews is quite something.

I never said anything about proving or disproving. People are welcome to believe anything they'd like to on whatever basis they choose to... if you like Chinese medicine, go for it. Think drinking that awful cough medicine will make yo

On the contrary it gives me a great deal of confidence that there is no scientific consensus on this subject based on how intuitive or how obvious it seems, and that instead scientists are hesitant to come to a consensus without experimenta

Most bad hires can be rooted out in a few months, yes... but a not insignificant number of them can take years as well. Also many, if not most people, simply stop learning and allow their skills to stagnate and that can become a liability a

There are plenty of really bad hires who cost a company lost time and money because they simply are not competent. It's made even worse because many incompetent people are genuinely nice and pleasant people, they are open minded and ma

His intention isn't to undersell himself, for whatever reason it's very favorable on this site to tell people how you have decades of experience working in this field but can't write fairly basic data structures or algorithms

I feel like this is the issue with calling most software development a form of engineering. That term has been mostly adopted for prestige or to make it seem much more established than it really is. Certainly in some limited domains, yes, i

To be fair, the purpose of referencing the Google Scholar citation was not to support the claim that econometricians predicted no decline in manufacturing, it was to refute your claim that: "Econometricians are unlikely to have made pr

I have no opinion but I find it interesting that you started this conversation by saying: "I can't see how anyone ever thought..." and end the conversation with: "Nothing unusual about two people reaching different inter

This is just untrue though, my company has to eat the cost of fraudulent transactions and the burden is squarely on us to prevent it.

It's not about sending a message, it's that the sentence will almost certainly be carried out concurrently. That means even if she is found guilty of the remaining counts it won't result in any additional time served.

The green tint was not part of the original theatrical release. The green tint was used in the sequels and then added back to the DVD/Blu Ray release of the original movie. You can go on Youtube and watch trailers for the original thea

Playing cards is not among the things listed as having failed; it's as if some of you guys go out of your way to fail to understand basic English.

Yep in this case it might not have helped, but all this to say that some exploration of having multiple reference counts is a great idea. The balance becomes the overhead of coordinating multiple reference counts versus the gains from reduc

If you are using a mutex to guarantee real-time scheduling requirements, you have failed. Furthermore if you think a discussion about benchmarking an algorithm on a 24-core SMP system involving atomic reads, writes and shared caches has not

Happens all the time, what's fascinating is that in the original discussion there are people who came to the conclusion that it's just a leaf that is in front of her face, either one that is in the process of falling down or one t

It's a great idea and in fact a variation of it is being explored by Python to eliminate the use of the GIL without introducing performance regressions. The variation is instead of one count per thread, have two reference counts where

Don't see anything more misleading about lock free than about anything else involving parallelism. Lock freedom has to do with guarantees about scheduling, you can be lock free and still have contention but a lock free algorithm is gua

That's not what the article says. It says that Nintendo tried to pivot away from the playing card business into several other businesses, each of which ended up failing except for electronic toys/video games. Given that Nintendo n

This is also untrue, if the standard did mandate that pointers to functions could participate in a memcpy and the behavior was as if the instructions of that function were treated as an array of chars, then C++ compilers would be forced to

This is the type of reasoning that leads people to write insecure code, by trying to outguess the compiler with implementation details that are entirely inapplicable. It suggests that if the code was self-contained or position independent o

The reason it fails is due to UB. There's not much point in saying that most of it isn't UB since the part that is UB is the part that causes the failure.

Forget delivering food, just a week ago there was a discussion on here where the predominant attitude in the comments was about how CTOs shouldn't be programming, and CTOs who program are wasting their time when they could be doing muc
