It seems like people have forgotten the point of Google+. If I recall correctly... there were too many disparate login systems which resulted in a fractured identity. There were various legal and technical reasons which they could not ass

I have gone without any phone/computer/etc completely a few times, once for 4 months, once for 3 months, and then quite a few shorter periods. The main thing I learned was that when using the computer, I was using it too much.

I am glad someone has at least fake-formalized the infectious nature of anxiety.

Well written (I laughed), thank you for that.

Perfect, thank you for sharing.

Unfortunately, you are probably right. But if we want software to stop being in various states of "broken" forever, we will need professionals not scared of losing their jobs for doing the right thing. This sounds like syndicalis

Totally not a placebo. Vitamin-D fortified milk was a necessity (for me) in Portland to avoid depression.

With bricks you can build a useless house with no doors, but bricks are pretty great.

Feels like the silly focus on process buries the lead on the video ( https://vm.tiktok.com/9hL3uY/ ) That is brilliant awareness building.

C++ has many audiences with disparate needs; ranging from firmware, to scientific computing, to application development. Most of the industries using the language optimize their code for a target platform. And general non-optimized porta

I personally believe secrets management is not done in software. Systems should be fully constrained by networking logic. If you need to hide certain authentications; create expiring DNS records derived from a secret hashing function, have

Soundwave SnR deteriorates much faster than lightwave. That said, there are companies uses sound for generating maps.

When the light bounces off of the target surface it scatters. The light which bounces back to the sensor array has time offsets depending on the geometry of the scene, those can be modeled as curves. Similar (in that it's the inverse

These are some strange complaints. As a C++ developer optimizing numerical code, I have never once worried about any of the things mentioned here. I care about instruction folding, vectorization, loop reordering, and efficient instruction

Correct, if you partition a 256 core machine into 32 virtual 8-core machines partitioned by their NUMA architecture - you are relatively unaffected by core count (minus the consequence of some scheduling algorithms not tuned for N > 8).

They are not linear unless all requests take an identical amount of time OR the system is not oversubscribed (common in many workloads) - and even then, the current linux CFS scheduler has a complexity of `O(log N)`. When you have variable

Very few developers are prepared to write code that can efficiently use 256 threads / machine. At that level, cache coherency becomes a real and non-trivial problem. In most cases, I suspect developers will see improved wall-clock tim

Apparently. Although, I have hung out at a lot of marinas and haven't seen that style yet. Must be because those people put their legs in the hoist gears and lose their leg (about 5 from the top).

I love in that article the complete non-sequitur about MENSA members wearing white socks with birkenstocks. It really demonstrates his disdain.

The U.S. economy is one of the most stable in the world, and certainly the most stable of any major world power. In fact, many economies are directly tied to the value of the dollar directly or indirectly. A lot of foreign investors are s

Chinese leverage is high and their economy is trending down. They have to contract into slightly more conservative positions. And afaik, they were the world wide cause of inflationary real-estate. I would suspect that US markets are les

I had never seen this before, I cannot think of another way to do this. I suspect it has 1 byte overhead (on the stack) cost, but that's pretty cheap and may be optimized out.

It's bracket initialization of a struct, in this case the struct has no variables - the type is implicit from the method declaration.
