There's a lot of FUD against AGPL. I suspect that's because companies with deep pockets don't like it -- for reasons that are entirely by design of AGPL and simply s matter of preference. The only toxicity here is from people

How many unicorns are from Israel, though? Israel should be lauded for managing to be an intensely vibrant and high-tech country, and European countries should try to learn from that, but even that is apparently not quite sufficient. So I t

That's not self -contradictory though -- it's just good old contradiction with a different position. So a person who only holds one of those beliefs would potentially be fine, as far as self-contradiction is concerned. Besides,

That seems fair to me. If this reasoning is correct, then conservatives should be becoming worse at gauging liberals' position on social justice-related topics, considering how their reporting tends to be dominated by extremists as wel

Technically, one could make arguments based on genetics for the "middle" position. Something like: allowing abortion following rape puts a damper on the spread of genes that tend to lead towards rape. That's probably not a g

Part of the problem seems to be that Firefox goes out of its way to hide this use of unstable features. Perhaps that makes this a Firefox bug, but given Firefox's historical relationship with Rust, that's not a good look for the R

I bet most people never had to worry about those though. Making them mandatory for covid would be a big change for the majority of the population.

FWIW, calling somebody a piece of shit goes against personal insult laws in many countries, so in your particular example, the neighbor may in fact be obligated to take down the billboard, or at least to modify it. Obviously depends on the

I seriously doubt that the money was printed . It's all electronic nowadays. There's so much confusion and cargo-culting around money, it would serve as well to use accurate language. The money was created , but not printed. Thi

It appears to be an engineering limitation, if the engineering problem is "how does human society survive into the next century, given climate constraints". Perhaps hydrogen cars is a theoretical alternative, but they just don&#x2

Most of it is header files full of redundant register names. It's pretty ridiculous. The driver code itself also has lots of code duplication. It's just strange.

In that case, you really shouldn't fly in commercial planes to begin with. In case it isn't obvious: the number of people who can be triggered to be violent in the right circumstances is far higher than the number of people who

Eh, some people are inherently violent. Many more people can be pushed to extremes given extreme circumstances. As long as you don't really know all the details, chances are good that people regret their actions and are going to learn

You're right about the implications of Kogge-Stone, but constant factors matter a lot . In fixed width ISAs, you have N decoders and all their work is useful. In byte granularity dynamic width ISAs, you have one (partial) decoder per

I understand what an equilibrium is. The question is: who are the players who are in equilibrium? Apple dictates the terms of the iOS app store. It's clear that Apple has a set of moves it can choose from. What moves do other players

The contradiction is asking for help from the EU on the one hand while not accepting the EU's rulings on the other hand. What GP is criticizing is this attitude of trying to get representation without taxation, to put it in US terms.

I think we're largely in agreement. I just got the impression that you treated X developers as a homogenous group who all think that what happened was the best thing. That's not the case.

The use of "arrived" was precisely to abstract from this sub-discussion. But since you raised it: your description is quite misleading. One person proposed Wayland. Some others (who happened to be already unhappy with X) thought i

by atq2119 5y ago
This is at least somewhat circular logic. The arrival of Wayland is a big contributor to killing people's motivation for further development of X. Had Wayland not arrived, somebody might have well been inclined to solve problems in X i

This is still too simplistic. Think along the lines of: void foo(T *p) { if (!p) abort(); bar(p); } void bar(T *p) { use(*p); MACRO(p); } In other words, the first null-check and the latter chec

NP-completeness has a rigorous mathematical definition. People who know the field definitely agree on it, there's nothing fuzzy about it.

I wouldn't call economic doom porn "very well reasoned". And conversely, if it's truly very well reasoned, I wouldn't call it porn.

Did both machines compile to the same target architecture? If you did native compiles, then perhaps LLVM's ARM backend is simply faster than its x86 backend...

by atq2119 5y ago
That's true. And there is seriously optimized software out there using linked lists (e.g. in the Linux kernel). However, with bigger data in my experience a very good solution is often to have a vector of pointers to the actual data.

Well, they don't print the USD. But you're right, perhaps a better analogy for what people mean is a central bank trying to maintain a currency peg. Which also often ends badly...

Sibling comments express justified disbelief at this question, but just in case: in our modern monetary system, reserve requirements aren't the "last resort" against bank runs. The central bank will jump in and provide the re
