I assumed that it meant that if you ran code at compile time or at runtime, the results should be exactly the same given the same inputs.

I ctrl-Fed for "http" in this post and looked through the 61 links, following several of them that seemed like they may be relevant. I didn't find anything that appeared talked about what you've mentioned in your posts.

Where can you buy a workstation like that for so little?

Is there somewhere I can read more about what you are claiming in these comments? How did you learn about these housecleaning activities?

This 20-minute video argues that downtowns subsidize suburbs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1G3D55LD-E . I found the arguments pretty persuasive. I'd love to hear counterpoints to them, though.

There's a coherent argument for doing so: if the law is enforced, and no one wants it to be enforced, it creates pressure to fix the law. Laws that are on the books but not enforced lead to laws meaning nothing in the extreme case. I t

Worse than vibe coding is vibe copywriting—and it appears to have that in spades. I have a really hard time taking something seriously that reads like it came straight out of Claude Code without even a minimal editing pass. I hope it's

The most practical way to do this is to ensure that your indoor air CO2 levels aren't significantly elevated over outdoor levels. One common way to do that (apart from opening windows) is to use a balanced ventilation system like an ER

I suspect the intent is to minimize return on investment. The returns from climate data are returns that the current administration does not want.

That's about what I would expect from an organization named Government Accountability Office: hold the government accountable to its written guidelines (or at least report on how well it's doing at meeting them).

One reason there's no Perforce support for Gerrit/Rietveld is that Google doesn't use those tools for changes to code that's stored in Piper. Instead, they use Critique: - https://abseil.io/resources&#x2F

A lot of academic reputation, as well as performance evaluation (for example toward tenure) is based on being published in "prestigious" journals. If you could fix that problem, I suspect the parasitic journals would evaporate ove

I wonder what the energy/evolutionary cost of densely-connected brains is. If it's advantageous, why are crows exceptional?

What's the security story? I would love to adopt cloud dev environments that are constrained enough that I can safely run agents in YOLO mode, but not so constrained that they are useless. I would want it to be safe enough to run 80 to

It helps a bit more than you imply, though: if you can launch from a higher altitude, you have less atmosphere to plow through. That lets you use more of your propellant to speed up instead of to push air out of the way.

I think the hard part for me about doing something like that is not forgoing those things, it's figuring out what to eat instead. Any tips?

Less of a possibility than in a similar combustion vehicle, though, since EVs tend to be heavier.

The first version was part of Code Search proper, and wasn't super useful for much more than just typo fixes, since it was essentially just a textarea edit box. That was eventually deprecated and replaced with a button that did the sam

Very true. It was still hundreds of millions of lines of first party code a decade ago, and could easily be over a billion at this point.

I'm curious: have you done a (single or double) blind test where you prepare dishes (selected at random) with or without MSG/aspartame/yeast extract and record the effects? To be clear: not saying you should, just wondering h

A recent Atlantic article [1] by someone involved in the Mississippi reforms gives a good outline of what they did/are doing. It includes science-based reading curriculum and holding kids back (as you mentioned). It also includes other

Are you sure it was fake scarcity for Gmail? IIRC they did it because they were worried about systems falling over if it grew too fast, and discovered the marketing benefits as a side effect.

Same thing (for now, at least). The U.S. has only defaulted a handful of times, none that I'm aware of since 1971.
