As a side note, the requirements in open-source licenses (such as redistributing source yourself, giving attribution, etc.) are only enforceable because of intellectual property. Someone owns the copyright, and often has contributors assign

Could you educate me on what's really different about a card that is "server-grade" vs. one that is not?

It would take a lot more calls to random.randint(0, 1) than that for me to think something was wrong. Especially since we're actually talking about values that rarely go outside 0.4 and 0.6.

I mean I'm no Trump fan, but Ohio is also notoriously a swing state. Not sure it's remotely fair or relevant to talk about a fluctuating margin of voters as characterizing a state.

After their initial announcement, they updated the same post after months as they had since discovered it was worse. And in some cases it turns out the vault data was not as encrypted as they had ever said. Here's one of the better wri

I'm not sure I interpret the article or the parent comment as saying American Airlines isn't allowed to do this. They're just making life harder for their employees and dont seem to be addressing the problem they're work

I don't think anyone was wondering and I don't think games are leaving GPU resources unused, but yes. Nevermind the datasets - language models alone barely fit in-memory on A100s.

I don't think it's fair to call this victim blaming. You did indeed borrow money and fail to pay it back on time. That's exactly what the concept of a credit score is for. We all make mistakes, but your score represents the b

Nope. By happy coincidence, I ran into my brother-in-law at the airport as he was discovering this, and I have a credit card that I love collecting points on and just set to autopay.

Rental car companies will sometimes not rent to you unless you use a credit card specifically (not a debit card).

I'm enjoying my free credit monitoring, because it's oh so transparent and useful.

That may be how the term was coined, but that is not the common usage in my experience. Simply Googling 'Mandela Effect' will yield many examples of widespread misconceptions and false memories that you can easily verify with a fe

Yeah I believe Minix is actually a complete rewrite intended to be more useful in the real world than just a teaching toy (and at that it has been successful). I can't imagine enjoying reading the source code apendix from a book as muc

Also, there aren't many OSs that have books to teach you about them, but MINIX does. Operating Systems: Design and Implementation by Andrew Tanenbaum. I suppose the value you get for free in MINIX 3, you pay for if you want the book...

There's definitely a place for these counterarguments, but I have had Amazon's own consultants tell me that quota issues are exactly the reason they think you should architect to span many Amazon accounts if you're big. There

I know that's what you meant and you absolutely have it backwards. These are the people who built some of the most iconic technology BEFORE building Plan 9. Are you seriously not familiar with their work on UNIX and C at Bell Labs? Bec

by TallGuyShort 4y ago
I think you're looking at the wrong end of the timeline. The people who built it had already built UNIX and C (and one of them would later write Limbo). Go's initial splash in the "press" was helped massively by that ped

The irony of referencing September with one's own obnoxious overconfidence that everyone memorizes the same XKCD jokes as you.

I think the "Great Compromise" helps correct for the fact that people in different locations value different things and have different experiences. People who live in farming communities understand plenty of things that people in

Open borders isn't their policy either. A census that just counts people isn't their policy either. Source: censuses I've taken under Democratic exrcutives asked me plenty of other questions. And even if those things were t

I'd be fine with that, but let's be clear that that's not the system the Democrats move towards. Instead we have this weird system where a bunch of people jump through hoops to be here legally and a bunch of people don't

I don't understand the Democratic side here either. There's a question of citizenship, but census data is used to determine allocation of electoral college votes. The electoral college system being something that I support but tha

There has been an undertone in almost all controversies in F1 for decades that technology (and by proxy, money, computational power, etc.) is gradually replacing driving skill. It's hardly an argument that just came into being because

As does this - that's what the NOTICES file is for. When I've looked at it on TVs it looks the same: Copyright notice and license terms that they're required to bundle with any redistribution.

I'd be curious about the inverse though: does the rate at which a random sample of the population is willing to tell you something incorrect if you paid them change significantly?

I don't feel attacked :) Some of these folks have indeed been randos from the Internet. Some of them are people that I've known well in real life and I'm convinced they genuinely think this. I could be fooled - I wouldn'

That makes a lot of sense. I'd be curious for a link or reference to that research if you remember any details.

Yeah I could understand that. Depending on the forum though, I seem to see people have the same conversation repeatedly, like they're just as confident as they were before. Vicious cycle if that is what's happening - that they bel

Yeah that crossed my mind as well. People who have so little understanding of the mechanics behind it all that they think it's impossible we've put anything in Earth orbit - how could ANYONE understand that? In one case though I h
