Stata was visually fantastic - great light, most places you'd look were interesting and nice to look at. Acoustically it was bad -- the echoes in the open plan areas were terrible. Too many big, hard surfaces that reflected sounds ever

Ahh, thank you. Yes indeed: bc says: >>> sqrt(10) * sqrt(10) 9.99999999999999999994 Android calculator, on the other hand, gets this one right.

Anyone know of a comparison of the linked paper's algorithm to how Gavin Howard's 'bc' CLI calculator does it?

Estates are issued their own, fresh TIN (taxpayer id). Once established they don't operate under the SSN of the deceased.

Details about victims whose release might cause them further harm is the obvious one.

Er, what risk does the release of an SSN pose to someone two years deceased?

As a slight tangent, this prompted me to wonder about one of the things I _haven't_ enjoyed in my last two weeks of experimenting with zed: It tries to autocomplete comments for me. Hands off - that's where I think! Fortunately, z

It's a matter of degree. A _typical_ undergrad thesis is more spoon-fed from the perspective of "here's the idea, go do it". A typical masters project is still more advisor-generated than student-generated. A typical Ph.

Nah. The difference is one of (learning) rigor. Intellectual and scientific. You learn a lot in the process of getting a Ph.D. about how to think, how to analyze, and how to research.

You don't need to. If you don't draw the energy from the panels, nothing happens. It's not like a turbine where you'd have to dump the energy into a dummy load. Solar power not used is simply not produced.

Grad school is a money loser in CS for people from the US. There's no argument. But I did end up having my net worth increase over the course of it, and it was a fantastic experience. In Boston, even - a pretty HCOL area. And in the en

Prior to the new administration I would have pointed out that US CS and engineering Ph.D.s are generally paid with a stipend that's "just enough to live on". There's even a website: https://csstipendrankings.o

Competition drives innovation, but also, we've generally seen that things like municipal broadband are _more_ innovative than an incumbent monopoly carrier. Large chunks of the US don't have much competition at all in wired servic

There are a lot of LFP model 3's on the road, and my understanding is it was only canceled because of manufacturing location effects on tax rebates. A lot of BYDs cars use LFP. And they sell a -lot- of cars. The 2024 Mach-E is LFP. The

That's the point: We didn't need to, because they had a process they followed and it worked. It was probably fairly bureaucratic, which is reasonable when we're talking about trillions of dollars. Treasury moves slowly but th

No need to really - users + revenue is enough to figure it out. And you want to see revenue anyway. (I'm one of those small investors in Kagi.)

It doesn't matter because you can't do a double blind study on pot. Double blind -> the patient doesn't know what they got. "Hmm did I get cannabis or oregano? I just can't tell". :) You can still do a rando

I've had the same desire! However, it probably doesn't pan out. An energy star fridge uses about 400kWh/year. In pittsburgh, we have 5710 cooling degree days and 736 cooling degree days. Those cooling degree days are spread a

I'm a CS professor who used to write and develop the software behind a daily and weekly Pennsylvania covid report. I get the pain here. It's a messy, incompatible jumble without the CDC. Would you like me to see if there are some

Because, as someone else noted, it might be hidden for you because you're using something that's inside another function, macro, struct, etc.

Because you want the buffer to go out of scope after the last iteration of the loop. Motivating that requires bringing in more rust - It could be as simple as wanting to reuse the variable name later, but more likely it would be because you

A man walks up to an llm and asks it to tell him a joke about a puffin and a badger. The llm replies with a joke that is barely a joke. The man says "another." The llm gives another unfunny response. "Another!" Followed

This is incorrect. It's trivial and compiles just fine. The argument here is that maybe for reasons the programmer doesn't want to - such as not wanting the buffer to outlive its use inside the loop, and they don't want to ha
