I found this paragraph particularly interesting: > Trimming the working set of a process doesn’t actually save memory. It just moves the memory from the working set of the process to the standby list. Then, if the system is under memory

Insufficient test coverage doesn't necessarily mean lack of self-discipline. It can also stem from project management issues (too much focus on features/too little time given for test writing).

This is what puzzles me - while time drift does occur, it tends to be in the form of minor errors which build up over time; large jumps are relatively rare. You'd think the mechanism described in the article would have a failsafe ens

I'm curious though - how many of those applications were for recently posted positions? I ask because I assume that the older a job posting, the more likely its position has been filled but the posting hasn't been taken down. If

I've had the best luck with recruiters that have contacted me directly on LinkedIn. Conversely, I've had zero luck with the recruiters that contact me via phone call. My assumption is that this is because many of the latter are op

I'm getting ready to do this with my group as well. So far I'm really enjoying Pathfinder 2e's mechanics. I feel that the three-action system is much more straightforward than 5e's action/bonus action system, and th

As a layman (albeit one with an interest in Biology), one thing that makes me skeptical of this article is the way it's written. Very specific assertions are often paired with very vague references to other papers. For example, an oft-

The "updated microcode" package is installed on your system manually (like any other package). The "automatic" part comes in when your system boots up, after this package is installed. On boot, when the package is inst

I think the point being made though is that CWD and other prion diseases are quite rare. Is there any danger from compost sourced from human bodies that died from non-prion-related diseases?
