The majority of readers might very well find it inefficient if words are wasted on explaining things they are familiar with. It can also turn people off the content. If an article on woodworking (my hobby) explains what a cap iron is, I’m l

I think it’s possible that we’ll be able to run large simulations on models whose mechanics we can’t really understand very well. It’s not a given we’ll be able to step through a sequence of states. Even more so if it involves quantum compu

An array will carry type information for each element. Link looks like an optimized array which only allows three types so it can more efficiently pack the type (and presence) information for a block of items into a a couple of words. Plus

I think a bunch of people learnt a new thing from your comment, so it is a good one. I hope my reply didn’t come out as gatekeeping, it was genuinely just to help put a name to a thing.

First, the model in FIDO is that it's the piece of hardware (in this case, your laptop or iOS device) that is your authentication factor. The biometric is a local facility for unlocking that device and approving that specific action. S

I really like that he points out the dragons. Most books just explain the language/system design, and add value only by crafting good explanations. But Scott (and others) add an element of experience as well, which is extremely valuabl

Second for Scott Meyer Effective Modern C++. I was in the same situation as you and it seemed like the book was written almost specifically for that.

For the recent eruption prevailing winds were from the north, and the volcano is on the south coast. So most of the effects were blown out to sea. But farms in the vicinity of the volcano certainly felt it: https://www.nasa.gov&#

I use beancount, and a somewhat custom importer and categorizer. (happy to expand on those but this comment is about the multi-transaction). I have the categorizer send such transactions to a temporary "limbo account". So I have t

Coalition governments are often very stable across many election cycles. There’s rarely one single party entirely in charge.

Absolutely. Just going off the language used in the post which is maybe tailored to Brent's student audience.

I think a shorter way to write that is to first note the downset representation of reals. Then your definition of min is just the set intersection and there's nothing more to show.

I’m the opposite. I used Chromecast for years and it always put me in a foul mood to fiddle with broken and slow apps on my phone. Ended up getting a Roku and couldn’t be happier. Only issue I ever have is misplacing the remote.

This isn't saying that you are not allowed to use some other language, just that you might be on your own wrt an SDK etc. FTA: "Supported for end-developers means that the Fuchsia SDK contains tools and libraries that help people

If the discharge has another 3p caveat, then generally you'd have to get that discharged also before sending it to a server. Either way, in each deployment a server supports a set of caveats that makes sense and rejects others. Or that

No, the discharge is indicated to the verifier cryptographically. The user of a 3p-caveated macaroon has to request that discharge from the 3p before sending it to the server.

I had the same reaction to the headline, but in this particular article it actually means exponential. (It does make a leap from computation to intelligence though.)

I don't agree, but I wanted to say to everyone else: Please don't downvote coherent comments where someone obviously put an effort into expressing their argument just because you disagree. This is perfectly valid discussion.
