I think betting on low-power NPU hardware wasn't necessarily wrong - if you're Apple you're trying to optimise performance/watt across the system as a whole. So in a context where you're shipping first-party bespoke

Australian checking in. Our wheelie bin lids cark it every decade or two, but I'd attribute that to sun exposure degrading them. The mechanical impact is just what finishes the job.

I see it not so much as getting the compiler to ignore semver but rather giving it more granular information about the nature of the changes. As I understand it: - Anything which is breaking-changed in any way for 0.3.0 (e.g. in the articl

The Ardour DAW is kinda like this. Downloads of prebuilt images through the website are paid, but you can download and build yourself from source. (Most Linux users probably have free access via distro package manager anyway.)

Most of the issue with PR is when your assembly has to select an executive. But the US has a very powerful executive (the President) which sidesteps the problem. The US House of Reps could be multi party PR without any big issues (well, the

Aren't the HFT boxes usually stock exchange colocations? Each trader gets a rack (or multiple racks depending on size) in the exchange's datacenter, every rack has the same cable length to the switch, etc.

msephton's sibling comment notes that Pages files are a ZIP bundle. (I just tested this, and that's the case - actually they're not even compressed, just stored.) Inside this zip file there's a number of things: - three

Also there is more than one government (and currency). And sometimes people would like to trade goods and services internationally...

By more-or-less eliminating spoiler effect RCV actually benefits major and minor party candidates (and of course, voters!). For majors the benefit is clear: you don't get spoiled. For minors, you don't have to overcome the barrier

If places are shortening the yellow light to juice camera revenue then yes, that's bad. America is the land of the lawsuit right? Surely someone - or the state legislature - could take action on safety grounds alone to ensure a reaso

Red light cameras are good. Minimal bias (fn) compared to an all-too-human police officer. And it's not like speed traps, where the posted limits are well below the design speed of the road. A red light is a red light! fn: We can argue

Yeah I do this too, I can't imagine not having different wallpapers. But when I'm pinning apps to desktops via the Dock it'd be nice to have the names then.

by aldonius 2y ago
If you can _rename_ desktops though, I've never seen how. e.g. in Mission Control right now I have "Desktop 1", "Desktop 2", and full-screened iTerm2 on my external monitor, plus "Desktop 3" and about 6 ot

If your roadway is designed so that the average driver only feels comfortable going about 30 km/h / 20 mph, you don't really need to have separate cycle lanes because bikes can match car speed.

The query hints thing is actually quite useful in an educational context. There's DB internals/performance course which I'm a TA for and we lean heavily on being able to force Oracle's rule-based or cost-based optimisers

I think it could be consistent. In Australia we usually think about undergrad competitiveness in terms of the minimum ATAR rank of last years' admissions, right? But you could also think about competitiveness in terms of admission frac

Makes sense to me. The admins of the groups are responsible for managing the discussion in groups including frontline anti-spam against the porn bots and the shoe bots and whatever. So it's semi-distributed moderation. (Assuming group
