I learned from an electrical engineer that works on systems for the power grid that running the whole OS in CPU cache is a requirement for some of those systems. I guess that makes sense when you are working with things that move at the spe

If this is the strongest criticism someone who I know is knowledgeable and intelligent can muster, it gives me more confidence in the conclusions of the book.

Someone should check the statistics, but it should be someone trained to do so.

You're right that it wouldn't work technically. But legal compliance doesn't always make things work the regulators want them to.

Also the way cases will be brought seems like it would create perverse incentives on the rulings. > The International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution, or C.P.R., was willing to allow DoorDash to arbitrate “test cases”

While this makes sense, couldn't the founder personally guarentee the loan? If they have a strong income history, maybe collateral such as a home, it should be possible.

It seems like, in the absence of panics, there is a dichotomy between "You should know everything that can happen to your program and account for it." and "If you hit some unknown state, carry on." The first one is imp

I agree wholeheartedly. If we tell people "Don't write code that panics" then we collectively start writing code that assume panics don't happen. Suddenly panics become a footgun in Rust, and it isn't the safe langu

Ah, I thought you were talking about the handheld gun versions.

How does one use a sprayer attachment? It seems like positioning would be awkward.

Geofence requests also require two warrants. The first warrant retrieves a list of locatuons for pseudonymous phones in a bounded area during a bounded time. The second request reveals the identity of select phones. Each time you need to co

Yes. We will call it autotools.

That might not be possible. What if instead we created a configuration tool that intelligently passed the correct options for you.

Go straight to software engineering, skip the PhD.

The distinction to me is they removed it but didn't also deprecate it.

by Paul-ish 7y ago
Gosh, a lot of what you are talking about sounds like what it is like to finish a PhD that doesn't have a future in academia as well. Sometimes I feel like a failure for choosing software engineering, but I should probably be grateful

This is one of my pet peeves about HN. The change post titles to match page titles, probably to prevent editorializing, but enforcement can be uneven.

I wonder if seller insurance is viable. Pay $50 for an item, company does a background check on the seller and maybe does escrow.

I would guess that in 99.9% of purchases even over $500, both sides of the transaction are happy. Requiring the buyer to go to the store adds a significant transaction cost to the buyer, and is likely unnecessary.

I use keepassx and synchronize the file with dropbox (including across mobile). It works well enough for my purposes.

I wonder what a "jury of peers" would look like in these cases.
