I had a car broken into this last weekend. They broke into every rental car in the lot (by the ferry building). A police officer was rolling through, telling people not to leave anything visible in their cars (nothing was visible in mine).

I said “I think that argument is disingenuous, at best” to someone recently. Their response wasn’t glowing.

We have TA's at Amazon for L12 (Jassy) and L11 (SVP). However, being a TA also involves active advising and commenting first on document reviews (a lot of executive communication at Amazon is via written documents and review meetings t

20 years ago I was at a company that had gone from small start-up to acquired by a company with more than 100k employees globally. At a site all-hands a year or so after the acquisition, someone from HR briefed us on a change of insurance

2^57 nanoseconds is ~40032 hours. I wouldn't be surprised if someone out there was counting intervals in a 64-bit value and masking off some of the higher bits for flagging. Any time I see these sorts of issues (odometers that kill th

This would be akin to the rate as set by the governor in Linux, which can be configured to respond somewhat slowly to rising demands. Server configurations of the ondemand governor in Linux often take 50-90ms to reach max state from idle in

The general rule to follow in power consumption on CPUs is to do your work quickly and then get to sleep. Propagating clock is going to eat the bulk of your power. The mild difference between multiply and add in actual usage is inside the

They scuffed with Autel and initially lost (but then had that patent invalidated), and their currently brewing fight is with Bell Textron for camera control. (This is just a quick googling. I have no skin in this game either way, but I bel

To stay with the "write-only" nature of this, they need to publish a GitHub for their perl sample code... What a delightful bit of whimsy.

I've used Numerical Recipes in C heavily since 1996, but I've never used the code (which isn't great). Instead, I've used it as a reference to understand approaches and algorithms. Any code I've made using that bo

TDR was responsible for the logos, team design, manual, and packaging of the first WipEout, working through XL to Wipeout 3. The feel and character their work gave to those simple polygonal wedges was impressive, and that graphic design pe

Would you pronounce it “Grin-drrrrr” because you just want to normalize to a hooked-on-phonics view of pronunciation while using a language that is a crash-merge of proto-Germanic and French with a sprinkling of centuries of colonial cultur

It’s 308% the rate of the M1. I already subtracted out the 100% for baseline to get to 208%.

I completely agree. X times the rate of Y is unambiguous.

As a parent I live each day with a nearly paralyzing fear informed by the tragedies that have landed on others. It's heartbreaking to think of what you must be feeling, the sort of feeling I've only imagined in nightmares. In you

So if they start beating you, you have to stop filming? (Kidding... Kind of) I can't see how this could reasonably constitutionally hold, but that rarely stops legislators.

Keeping a rolling social history via some sort of merge-friendly approximate frequency data-structure (e.g., count-min sketch - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count%E2%80%93min_sketch ) would allow you to score the game

This is indeed annoying, but you should probably just embrace stderr as stdNonPipeOutput and call it a day. One of my workarounds for utility scripts is to go waaaaaaaay overboard and output results and log output as JSON-per-line. The ups

One certainly can’t just put a bow on blaming cronyism and assume that capitalism without cronyism would just work (which is what the title implies…. And the article hedges but still kind of implies). Capitalism eventually leads to some pr

How there can be more than two ways to spell words that sound like “to” is just too much. When people do that, I wonder if they’re messing with me or if their minds have fallen prey to a language of many sources. I pray that we will one d

Typically the “mixing of the cards” is done via a one-way function (e.g., modular arithmetic), making it impractical to fake and impractical to reverse.

Mate can be forced in N moves. This generally requires involvement of the king (e.g., check, no other pieces, guarding of the king) such that the only legal moves remaining are dictated by the positioning of the attacker.

ARM also licenses CPUs, GPUs, and just about everything that one would need to build an SoC. And those elements are used to enable the manufacture and sale of cheap chips. Semantics aside, ARM is the critical player in several market segm

For me the biggest reason knobs are useful in a car can be observed by the surface-exposed HVAC dials of the early 2000s Impala (axis-aligned with X or Pitch axis): If you're twisting a knob with two fingers and hit a bump, the anti-di

Look up “instancing” with regards to geometry on GPUs. The mesh can just be rendered twice with different transforms. That said, it often makes sense to drop some of the decorative flourishes used on the primary instance of the model due to

It could just as easily be evidence of a previously non-understood physical phenomenon or mechanism being recognized by new methods. Of course, that’s exactly the kind of thing a simulation would type!

There's a cap on valuation. You can buy them from producers or pay the ceiling cost per credit from the state (e.g. California). Now, if the WallStreetBets folks want to go into clean mobility, I'll pop the popcorn and watch that
