Not too sure what the basic rules are and I'm not able to find any list of such rules. For me the biggest challenge when sharing state is that the only benefit I can see for parallelism is performance, so if I'm not gaining perfor

You can prefer one spelling over another, absolutely, but it's a bit too strong to say someone using the actual word "lead" is incorrect.

by Maxatar 2y ago
The word "lede" was introduced in the 1970s as an alternative spelling for the word "lead" to resolve ambiguity between the leading paragraph of an article and the metal "lead" which was used in typesetting. It

If you have a system where failure is impossible then none of this applies and yes, you can implement a deliver exactly once protocol. It's only in systems where failure is a possibility that exactly once delivery becomes impossible.

But that wouldn't work which is the problem. If someone named Bob was standing outside your yard discarding the 99 pizzas, then Bob would not be able to guarantee that you actually get exactly one pizza. It's possible that the one

That's what the article calls exactly once processing. An analogy would be pizza delivery. You wouldn't call someone who delivered 100 identical pizzas to you even though you only ate one of them "exactly once delivery".

You have made so many mistakes in your reading that I would urge you next time to carefully re-read people's posts before responding to them. Also never quote someone without using their actual words. For example, it was not explicitly

Because those two texts are the two among literally thousands of scientific publications that have survived the test of time, which is exactly the point being made. This might seem crazy to hear now, but when Maxwell first published A Dyna

Most research I know about in academia is absolutely about what makes money.

This doesn't seem consistent with the history of relational algebra. It was introduced at a time when there were numerous competing storage technologies from cartridges, strips, drums, as well as disk drives all of which had different

Well movies, tabloids and radio/music were the original mediums used to study parasocial relationships in the 50s. Whether it's more or less parasocial than live streaming has more to do with quantity and access than it does the s

FTX was incredibly profitable, and their main competitor Binance is today a money printing machine. FTX failed because of fraud and embezzlement, not because their core business was failing.

That hardly constitutes a precise definition, but at any rate the lecture I linked to goes over the history and I quote, once again from Einstein himself: >The next position which it was possible to take up in face of this state of thing

What was the "specific" definition of the aether? It looks from reviewing the history that there was no consensus on what the aether was or what its properties were. Interestingly enough what I did manage to find is a lecture give

The idea that a safety issue should go unquestioned is baffling to me. If an engineer has reason to delay a project over a safety issue, then that issue must absolutely be questioned so that it can be properly understood and other engineers

You're now arguing against claims no one has made, which is apparent from the fact that you seem to only quite very tiny snippets of what's said while ignoring the main argument. You seem to just want to argue for the sake of argu

Wave function collapse is one of many equivalent (so far as we know) interpretations of quantum mechanics and not all interpretations have wave function collapse whatsoever. With that said even in the Copenhagen interpretation which is the

by Maxatar 2y ago
I provided my explanation for why this is the case. A measurement device only collapses the wave function for itself, it does not collapse the wave function for every other observer/measurement device. Of course, a second measurement d

by Maxatar 2y ago
Yes, as far as anyone knows the different interpretations of quantum mechanics are just ontological.
473.
by Maxatar 2y ago
This isn't quite right, wave function collapse is relative so while within the box an observer's wave function of the box will be in a definite eigenstate, the wavefunction of the box for an observer isolated from the box will sti

You are making it seem like people aren't getting sued for drawing Mickey Mouse for personal use because Disney would rather go after the big guys. My point is that it is perfectly legal to draw Mickey Mouse for your own personal use b

That is technically true but usually companies don't invest the kind of resources to support fiber just to service a handful of residences. Once the infrastructure is in place, you usually try to deploy it to as many homes as possible.
