I wonder if it's the phrasing rather than the actual idea that sets people off. Many readers here understand the increasing costs of pursuing higher SLI targets, but I doubt many of them would express it as "the optimal level of a

Mine was like that too. I started using the "I don't want to see this" flag pretty aggressively, and outright blocked a lot of accounts I had no interest in. It has worked pretty well - aside from some ads, my feed is from pe

The polar diagram shown there is what should replace the ellipse in TFA. It's far more complicated than a simple geometric shape since it has to account for such practicalities as sail inventory.

Meaning that it would be harder for those languages on the clr because of generics? Would typing all generics as Object not be essentially equivalent?

You don't get to walk into a base and fly military jets either, but it's not wrong to describe them as being owned by the citizens of the country. The government owns the stock, and its performance either way impacted you (us) in

If the requirements change then the code is changed and the invariants are updated as necessary.

With tcp being connection-oriented I think it's not too hard to get right, especially if the OS won't reuse a closed socket right away. Definitely worth considering though. Of course it's doable without netstat if you can tra

This gets to the wildest thing about the Musk's "go hardcore or leave" email. There was no indication of what people were going hardcore for. It was all about how hard the road was, but no talk about the reward or the goal or

It really shouldn't be surprising that FTX is worse than Enron. Sure, Enron was run by crooks, but they were adults operating in a highly regulated industry. I've seen kids run a lemonade stand with better bookkeeping than FTX.

If we're splitting hairs, your situation sounds more like memoization, where you have saved the output of an expensive but deterministic calculation. With the correct assumptions, this can never result in incorrect behavior. Worst case

Is he claiming that FTX is illiquid but solvent? I thought the reports were that they are $6B in the hole.

The article seems incomplete without bringing in the code or test that relied on the hash code. Was the test unnecessarily strict? Was code assuming more than a collection guarantees?

Yeah that’s about it. He’s lost about $90b in net worth. I suppose you can debate whether that’s punishment enough He didn't pay a fine, it isn't any sort of punishment. He tanked the value of the asset that is the primary compo

It's configurable from within the browser, though it moves around a lot and has been getting hidden lately. I think default is based on the OS language, but of course that can vary between browsers and versions.

And it's not 1-1 the other way; there are many countries with more than 1 official language. The best way IMHO is a drop-down with the language name represented in its own language (e.g. "Deutche"), with the default based on

Did he actually say how the data is gathered? It hinted at potassium decay but if he went into more detail, I missed it. And every experiment needs a control - does the banana add anything?

Obviously I'm a little out of the loop, but what is the "attack" they talk about in the new plan? I thought the coin just death spiraled.

There's a quotation that "Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people." I think the problem is that PG is determined to demonstrate that he has a great mind, and must therefore discuss
