The intel series MBPs do not have all day battery life, though, they last 3-5 hours when being used for software development.

I think this is obviously a useful tool and yet I worry that JS is going to end up in the C++ hole -- too much syntax for most people to remember, having to carve out practical subsets for readability.

This is good stuff. One of the most maddening habits I've ever encountered is people who start going down the path of solving the problem, them hit some dead end, then ask for help at the dead end. Usually the answer is to walk back to

With the best possible motives, the goal of a story like this is to apply pressure on the police department to discipline officers who fail to exercise due care when dealing with the public. Here two officers tazed someone who couldn't

That was always my dad's pitch to me. Don't give those fuckers one thin dime. I casually smoked cigarettes in college, but never seriously and every time I bought a pack I looked at the logo on the back and reminded myself that I

Yes. That's awesome! I was referring to the OpenBSD devs trying to hack pledges into other people's software by trying to guess what capabilities it needs while porting. That's not a good thing to try to do -- see also all th

There's no evidence of any risk of mRNA vaccines at all. The only issue so far has been extremely rare blood clot issues with the adenovirus vaccines (AstraZeneca & J&J). The vaccines are not approved for children under 12 beca

Unvaccinated staff get sick and die, and staff members of all sorts of vaccination status can get sick and miss work, and also transmit the disease to at risk loved ones.

It definitely reduces infection risk and transmission risk substantially, even against Delta, and still mostly eliminates hospitalization (which puts health care workers and people who need urgent medical care at risk) and death.

There's an infinite number of wrong answers that also anger everyone, so that's not a sufficient metric for correctness.

90% cheaper seems unlikely given how exponentially increasing the costs of CPU power to train models are.

I think that the parent comment was expressing a disagreement with your definition of "properly engineered code". I agree with them -- simpler code is properly engineered, lots of complex magic is not.

I'm quite sure that students, even grad students, at UIUC, had lots of access to windows based computers in 1993. Just because they weren't doing their work on them didn't mean they didn't have PCs running DOS or Windows

Yes we've learned a lot in the last 25 years, and it certainly isn't a good idea, in retrospect, to have the C++ API for your GUI Frame object to extend the thread class. That said, in the days of single core, single event loop on
