If the makers of a software program make a big deal about the implementation language (in Lapce’s case, they mention it in the first paragraph), then I take that as a statement that they’ve taken advantage about that language’s unique featu

I’m insinuating that the internet is like TV: that the cynical stereotype that all traders are insider trading is all over the internet, including those parts that got used as training data. In that context… of course the trading bot would

Written in Rust and yet when I downloaded it — admittedly a few months ago now — it segfaulted within a minute of me opening it for the first time. 0/10, not inclined to try again.

Why would you expect anything different from something that’s role playing a trader at a financial institution?

I wonder why this manual process can’t be automated?

Probably just because it’s Xmas Day.

A Chrome monoculture would be worse. We saw what happened with Internet Explorer.

The core of it is the databases. Everything else is window dressing.

Not HN-like, no, because it’s important for me to be able to filter out jobs based on various criteria, and HN has no filtering — which is fine for what it is, it just sucks for a jobs site.

There’s plenty of time for catalysts to show up before the 60s get here. My point is really just that it’s too soon to tell.

I thought CPU clock speeds had plateaued for nearly two decades now?

It took 40 years to get from E=mc^2 to the Trinity test, so ask again in the early 60s

Sure, but that’s not what the 14th amendment to the US constitution says.

TCP packets will have your IP address anyway. Why add more tagging on top of that?

Nvidia were also lucky enough to be in the right at the right time for crypto as well, weren’t they? Feels like he should entertain the possibility that they made their own luck.

You jest, but given America’s preference for traditional units of measure, I’m amazed they adopted a decimal currency to begin with. Pretty sure they’d still be on the Julian calendar if Britain hadn’t switched over before American independ

An ex boss of mine (head of engineering and later CTO) contributed code by working on small things: either prototypes that an IC would later reimplement properly now that the requirements were nailed down, or a small service that could go s

This is a proposal to change the clock, change the calendar, and abolish timezones in one fell swoop. This would be harder to introduce than introducing each of these three things separately. But I think it is satire.

What do you mean by “withheld from the public”? Technology is already partly trade secrets. There would be no point preventing the Dutch from exporting fab machinery to China if that were not so. I’ll make some narrow predictions about prog

Which language(s) do you use?

All existing programming languages are shit. Software engineers in a hundred years will wonder how we managed with such primitive unergonomic tools.

How long have you been looking for this time? Personally, it feels harder this time, and most of the recruiters I talk to say the market is weak right now. But I’ve been seriously looking for less than a month, so it’s normal for me to not

“Why 538 is wrong to give Trump a 31.5% chance”?
536.
by dave4420 3y ago
Where does the headline come from? I don’t see it in the article. I think you are confusing “chance of winning” (as I recall 538 was give Trump about a 1 in 3 chance of winning in the days up to that election) with “share of the vote” (I do

What would you be using it for? You do not always need consent, e.g. if it’s necessary in order to deliver a service the fingerprint owner requested. Would you be able to delete the hash if the fingerprint owner asked you to?

If only a strange fringe minority believes in trickle down, it’s a strange fringe minority that includes a substantial proportion of the parliamentary Conservative Party, and large numbers of elected Republicans.

If you believe that China would like to turn Russia into a puppet state, or that they would like to prolong Russia’s war in Ukraine for as long as possible (to bleed the West before China invades Taiwan later in the decade), then reducing R
