All I took from the story was mostly that the wife claimed to be adding potassium to his water, while actually (or also) adding massive amounts of vitamin D. The potassium and calcium could come from anywhere (including supplemnents taken b

How is something rotten? We are only seeing one side of this story, true, but it sure looks like a crime and smells like a crime.

The job of the game engine is also to render the world given only the worlds properties (textures, geometries, physics rules, ...), and not given "training data that had to be supplied from an already written engine". I'm gue

As I remember that it was only matching bits of text that are displayed in the view and not all text within each panel (such as “gateway”) . E.g as shown here https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/image/serverpa

Good. Should have happened earlier. The old one wasn’t perfect in any way. It could have been modernized slowly over the years instead of adding a new incomplete one. The jump between them becomes very jarring. But the new one has felt like

A GUID is just a string or handful of bytes. It’s not reallt globally unique despite the name, unless we actually initialize it correctly… But yeah I get your point.

That safety is merely accidental, it only appears if the dangerous state (the atomic counter memory location) is in the same crate as the UniqueNumber type exposed. A pair of crates (one which defines the struct UniqueNumber(u32), and one

Sorry yeah I mean "resolve the dependency versions" from the listed version requirements, and if needed downloading them. "Restore" is used by e.g. NuGet (.NET) as you suggest and others (npm for js, etc). The cargo dep

Perhaps a log wasn't the best example due to how the resource (a log sink) is often external. Take some simpler example: a counter (such as sequential ID generator). It's an in memory counter doing an atomic increment that returns
851.
by alkonaut 2y ago
How does this work? Assume that the log crate in its internal state has a lock it uses for synchronizing writing to some log endpoint. If I have two versions of log in my process then they must have two copies of their internal state. So th

> "If you're watching this educational video you might like Brilliant" I think there is a nuance. If there is a video that does this for 5 seconds in a 15 minute video, to sell a product they really know and like, and that

A hundred times this. I'd go so far as saying I'd trade the 2024 media landscape for the 2014 one in a heartbeat. And honestly, I'd also trade that one for the 1994 media landscape. "Content creators" are the worst

What do you mean by "not anonymous" here? Obviously the server will receive what video you are looking at, as well as anything it can deduce from your request (such as IP) in order to work. Whether it just gets the video (required

Because decisionmakers literally think that potential customers who are comparing products side by side look at whether ProductA has a tick in the "AI" column and ProductB doesn't, so A must be better. I think it's as si

That sounds exactly like how I would want law enforcement to work.

That type of hierarchy is “open” in the sense that when you handle them you can’t know whether you handled all of them. Anyone can make a new implementation of your interface, potentially in code that isn’t yours. Also, the options may not

This varies a lot between cultures and jurisdictions obviously. But not even half of Dells emplyees are in the US, so presumably a large chunk of these layoffs will be elsewhere.

A line-by line doesn't require much "AI" either. You could probably make a rough translation in some (mostly unsafe) Rust. Assume the AI actually needs to figure out lifetimes and so on to be actually useful and make valid pr

I think seeing the development of a project like the F-35 as solely a project to produce a fighter jet misses the point. It's a political project, strategic project, international project. "Making a good plane" is also on the

Oh sorry Google fooled me, when asking for US pop density it answered per sq. mi (96) and for EU it answered per sq km (106). The numbers are less similar with the same units then…. Some sparse countries like Ukraine aren’t counted in EU ho

What does car ownership rate have to do with anything? Even in a suburb with 100% car ownership, I want to walk - not drive - to buy milk, when possible. Walking the dog should ideally be possible from every single home without even having

The US is not large and not sparse compared to the rest of the world in general or compared to Europe in particular. This argument pops up every time but it just has no basis in reality. There are sparse (rural) and dense (city) areas every

It was pretty simple up until the whole netcore fork and netstandard confusion. Then it was confusing for a number of years. And now it's actually pretty simple again. The naming of ".NET" and ".NET Framework" is co

4.6 instead of 4.8 because 4.6 comes preinstalled with any Windows (Any supported Windows that is, i.e. Win10/11 or equivalent server), so from the user's perspective it will be a no-dependency app, just like a Win32 app.

It is. They realized that writing a modern browser (i.e. one that for example uses multiple cores efficiently by doing layout/rendering/etc in parallel) is almost impossible in C++. To the point where creating a whole new language

Nice to see. The only thing that would meaningfully set it apart from the others would be to have a core that isn’t a big ball of C++. That would potentially allow it to be developed and maintained with less resource than the other browsers

The motivation for the seemingly strange rounding is that a set of numbers can be rounded before summing without biasing the sum. It has good use cases but so do all rounding modes.

There was a time when a VCS could just be a slightly better VCS and it could probably gain traction. But now, for both better and worse, git is no longer just an app or a tool, it’s just a fundamental library and protocol that IDE:s, Build
