It does, which is slow, then the disk emulation makes it slower. Yes you can do it, but it’s not much fun. Improvements are on the way.

3. Your code base may start to become contorted. I've seen good programmers create bogus classes to allow test-time mocking, or add oddball env vars and configurations to let the test harness manually reach every last line. Even if tha

Your last sentence appears incoherent. Got links? Are you willing to move out of fire country for the greater good?

Fly out there, spacewalk over, give it a little jiggle, looks good, fly home. It would be like driving six hours to push a power button, but epic.

MGT is limited to the light that filters through the atmosphere. JWST will be tuned to longer wavelengths (redshifted older objects) that can only be seen in cold space.

That’s minor. It sounds like you agree with the rest of the post?

You'd probably also downvote all the pay-for-placement results on Google's search page now. That would lead to some difficult questions.

They lied in their abstract [0], they lied to their IRB, and Kangjie Lu's aspirations have been wasting a lot of Linux maintainer time. The real disgrace was the experiment. The response was fairly natural for humans with imperfect inf

They lied in their abstract: https://twitter.com/SarahJamieLewis/status/13848760502079406... They lied to their IRB. What evidence do you have that they're telling the truth now?

You're comparing less than ten years. Here's what I see, 2009-2019: iPhone 3g: 4.5 Wh / 0.0335 kg = 134 Wh/kg iPhone 11: 11.91 Wh / 0.047 kg = 253 Wh/kg For a 1.9X improvement. Agreed, consumers aren't see

Your iPhone example is problematic because Apple has so many competing requirements, but ok... Battery capacity from the iPhone 3gs to the 12 increased by over 2X. Sure, some of it is packaging (the 12 is 15% heavier) but the biggest facto

When I tried using a previous edition, the page numbers and most of the exercises didn't line up. "Thursday's test will be on pp 144-172 inclusive, and get to know exercise 5.17." It put me at a surprisingly big disadvan

They wanted to write a paper. APTs have been trying to put holes in the kernel for 20 years now… this is not news.

It’s too early for that. I expect their followup will have details on failures but first they need to figure out exactly what happened. That will take some time and effort. At least now they’re burning UMN time and not kernel maintainer tim

Is "we acknowledge that this will waste their time but we're going to do it anyway" really an adequate answer to that objection?
