What part of Europe? When I got my license 15 years ago they were a minority, but already not that uncommon in Germany. E.g. a friend from school drove an old Merc with the 4(?) gear automatic. On the other end of the scale [at least to a p

I personally wouldn't trust optical systems, but to be fair I've never driven a recent Subaru. The radar on my 2014 Volvo is extremely reliable, even in heavy rain and I make heavy use of it in nearly all traffic situations. It on

While I agree that kids programs doesn't have to reflect 100% of reality (else there would be no magic kingdoms for the heroes to save) the rest of your statement is absurd: "Same-sex affection" is a part of our world*), and

The Ryzen 5 1600 is nearly 5 years old (Apr 2017), and the current 5600X is a little older than 1 year (Nov 2020). The 5800X refresh (X3D) is announced for Q2 2022. Now that's still a matter of perspective. If you got an early low-end

It could also be signed using SSL or GPG or really just any other kind of PKI. In the end I need to establish a root of trust, so I either way I need to know that 2c414...2d7 is indeed the hash of the chain_address/ssl_cert/root_c

Oh, isn't this a variation of the Knapsack (or more precisely subset sum) problem? With the additional constraint of adjacency.

Around here that's a rare story. Actually, I know nobody that did try this and succeeded. But then we don't have true offline retailers around here; those with offline stores sell most of their GPU stock in their online store at i

You can interpret my comment as part joke since I really hope that zero-click attacks on the payment method will not be possible, but also part "uuh, that can go wrong". I expect MS to reduce the user friction to some minimum, sin

I haven't watched RT in the recent years, so I can't judge that instance (but I have do admit that, unless there is some heavy misrepresentation going on, I can understand why they want to ban it. That's without judging the

Doesn't seem like it is, and the sibling xkcd is spot on. For rare surnames it's still possible to see trends, especially if you know the high-density areas. I tried some random surnames for Germany, and while Klein ("Small&q

Ah, yes, the funsies of unwinnable seeds. Either the developers run some sanity checks to (somewhat try to) avoid them, or they are just part of the game(-design). Both approaches have their merits. Even in a simple game as Hanabi [cooperat

If I would have read something like that for the first time, I think I would have felt merely uncomfortable and puzzled, like "they're either kidding or insane". But 90 years ago my country essentially redefined the meaning o

Yeah, definitely not the first to consider this. I remember my Dad experimenting with proper lightning (brightness and spectrum) in the early to mid 2000s, and to him that was not really that novel. In my office room (32m²/340sqft), I

Hm, possibly? I mean, I luckily don't have diabetes and know the Libre 2 only second-hand (my Dad uses it to monitor his non-T1d). So I am not too familiar with the details, hence first of all thanks for the clarification of what that

I can totally relate to these observations: 1) We recently moved from a 80m² flat to a ~145m² house, plus 50m² of basement (860 -> 1560+540 sqft). We had a lot of stuff but it fitted well. Now the house is already equally full with thing

300 USD? That is incredibly expensive! In Germany, the general public can order a Libre 2/3 from their website for 60 EUR. That's 150 USD per month (assuming 26 devices per year). Though that's a purely theoretical price: A

It seems you did BB stuff before, but ended up on the dark side. If you want to avoid sliding in there again, a "regular" security job might be a good idea. It sounds a lot like pentesting in a web-focused team would match your sk

I'd be careful with this assessment. HN isn't immune to these effects. Especially with the approach towards quality. Maybe that's just me, but I often end up not submitting comments on HN, or reducing them*). This self-censor

I'm not in the loop here, most of the games I've installed from steam are in the 1GB to 20GB range, with a few outliers up to 80GB (I guess). IIRC some recent AAA games are in the 200GB range due to HQ textures. So I think 400GB g

One decade later: 1 GbE means hosts are capped at 4 to 6 simultaneous 4k bluray streams, or loading a single 400GB game per hour. Still fast enough for most consumers. Outside of a home lab, only maybe a NAS and one or two hosts transferrin

I don't know the JIT internals, but just ignoring them I'd point fingers on the setBit(x) = "load byte from mem into reg, set some bit in reg, write back reg to mem". Now it's just a "write byte to memory"

A lot of your time is spent on the branching and on accessing the memory. So on the ASM level, memory access patterns, caching and branch prediction will affect your performance. My bet is on the branch predictor, since IIRC AMD has a novel

With the suggested method you could skip a production cycle by unlinking a producer from a consumer. Due to the setTimeout the fluctuations propagate through the factory just as they would with resource nodes flying around. Of course the de

Huh? I am surprised that you choose to use a "setTimeout"-like callback there. Everyone on the internet is an expert (/s), so here is my intuition: If a mine produces $stuff at a rate of x $stuff/s, the factory it is sen
