Presumably at some point you trigger a forced client side reload to get people off old client versions? I'm impressed you kept the measurements going long enough to track the 600-day users though!

This is pretty cool, but if you're rewriting resource names server side then you need some machinery to rewrite references to those resources. I see the example you linked shows the root HTML being generated server-side from a template

Although, yes, this sounds absurd, it's worth noting that the TV licence pays for the BBC and the BBC has extensive radio (and web) offerings not only television. Of course, that still doesn't make sense because to the best of my

What's half-baked about GVisor? It's been in use as one of the security layers in various Google products for years, see for example: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/containers-kubernetes...

I don't think auto-completing a code-word leaks any information, since the set of code-words is fixed. Just think of each word as being one character from a large-ish alphabet. Code-words are used so that the one time secret can be eas

If you're representing dates back into the 1600s you need to keep in mind that calendar maths and things like "was this year a leap year" become more complicated. The Gregorian calendar was introduced in the 1500s but worldwi

I have no argument about your description of the current legal situation. But I disagree that the nature of the recording makes no difference. Recordings captured by CCTV aren't typically being made with the intent to publish them for

When I was asked this (early in an application process) the question came with an anchored scale. That is, each number had a corresponding description. I thought it worked fine.

I've only skimmed so far, but this post has a lot of detail and explanation. Looks like a pretty great description of how fast matrix multiplications are implemented to take into account architectural concerns. Goes on my reading list!

With chiplet based designs, how big are the individual chiplets? Would triangles make sense in that context? (Asking from total ignorance)

This is a little different to art in that it's less subjective: an optimizer that produces faster code (or perhaps smaller code, or some other optimization goal) is better, and this is measurable using benchmarks. A tool that can give

My experience has been that the older CS papers (from the 60s, 70s, 80s) commonly have very clear, readable text, not weighed down with unnecessary "academic style" verbiage. It's the newer stuff that's painful to read.

I said "rasterisation", not "rendering". Rasterisation is one specific step of the rendering process (+). GPUs rasterise triangles. If you're writing a software renderer you can include algorithms to directly raste

GPUs don't rasterise line-by-line like old software renderers, and they basically only know how to rasterise triangles. If you're rendering on GPU then I think the approach in the article is pretty good, despite its apparent compl

You don't actually need mod to do fizzbuzz, even if that's the most obvious way for people who know what mod is. But without any "real" math at all you can do it with, eg, two counters and some if statements. Or if yo
