I don't think anybody is arguing against querying your emotions as part of choosing how to solve a problem. What OP specifically advised against was "wast[ing] cycles on the emotions of having problems". You will always hav

Looking at a 10+ year time frame, I feel that maintenance cost would become the dominating factor. For both.

Sure, but in this case all the elephants are still left standing in the room. And it seems pretty clear that buy-in from the general public is not an infinite resource, so these kinds of changes with minuscule impact but significant public

The fact that some (bad) programmers already blindly copy SO code does not detract from the original argument that Copilot is dangerous because it effectively copy-pastes SO code blindly.

Computer graphics maybe? You can shift goal posts what "correctness" means, but if a game renders something in a funny way, it's really not going to hurt anyone. Yes, if it's constantly a total mess nobody will want to p

Could you point out what (legal, UB-free) way exists to obtain a null reference in C++? If it requires UB elsewhere for the expression "if (&x)" to make any sense, I don't see why this is something you blame the compile

Say you have a source of A, and a way of turning an A into a source of B. An operation that uses these two inputs to produce a source of B is a monad. This is about 90% of the way there (and TFA actually contains very similarly phrased desc

Well, pointer aliasing for example is a very tricky thing in C++ too. Even with strict aliasing, it is very unintuitive from the outside when you're going to trip over unexpected performance hurdles. (Does this data structure have a ch

Some of my videos would be affected and I got an email from them. Seems reasonable to me. Of course, there is probably a large number of currently unlisted videos from accounts that are no longer active, which would effectively be lost afte

std::dequeue is as good as useless. The defaults for "batch size" in different compilers are at extreme opposites of the tradeoff spectrum. So unless you really don't care about performance, memory or portability, it's

I still don't understand what the author means with his exploits (also against Instagram[0]) involving a race condition. A race condition means that something unexpected happens when you do something concurrently. Not "it gives th

Those exploits enable any program to read essentially all memory. This means nothing you did between turning on your computer and running an application with potentially malicious code (e.g. looking at a website with javascript enabled) is

Very curious how you think ML without data is going to work. 10 minutes of research will neither give you a solution to that nor will it procure the data needed. In the end, ground truth data is almost always going to originate from humans

I think the head wound itself would cause pain, but I'm not sure the bone scraping would cause more than some slight discomfort.

The irony is that a single log computation is going to take longer than the loop. (No idea if implementing a log approximation involves loops either.)

Heh, I reasoned about the exponent by hand and got -55 but then wasn't sure whether it was correct so I searched for discussions of 0.3 - 0.2 - 0.1 and took the value they quoted (2^-54). That being an off-by-one error does resolve my

Well, not necessarily. The "and repeatable" can be quite a constraint. Imagine three redundant systems on a plane that want to compute the same from the same input array (and then check whether they all agree). You want to imple

No, that's not the same. Summing [4, 5, 6, 7] would yield the series (4, )9, 15, 22 with "sort then add", but what the previous poster described would first sum 4+5 (leaving the list [9, 6, 7]), then 6+7 (leaving the list [9,

Some of these results are indeed very surprising. The "correct" result of (double(0.3) - double(0.2) - double(0.1)) is -1 * 2^-54 = -5.5511151231257827e-17, and dividing by three comes out to -1.8503717077085942e-17. Hence, as far

There are definitely bats that produce chirps (partially) in the human-audible range. You don't need above-average hearing to notice 15 kHz sounds, which appears to be the lower end listed in some source. Most echolocation happens way
