Negative temperature happens in physical systems when there's a constrained state space and energy in the system comes near the maximum - as then adding energy reduces the number of possible states the molecules are in. Iirc the math w

Wouldn't surprise me either. I know a guy who worked at Apple on iOS perf and the one time he was telling me about it years ago, it was "camera app doesn't start fast enough, so we reworked memory management". Apple re

Yeah ... If true, that's almost enough to identify them. Probably 5 people max at each food delivery company that could be, and their supposed role would be enough to single them out if the company can correctly guess it's talkin

Yes, or by http3's in order guarantees on the individual streams (as http3 is udp)

I think the underlying protocol would have to guarantee in order delivery - either via tcp (for http1, 2, or spdy), or in http3, within a single stream.

Same. That said if you try to use that with ordinary parentheses usage it would get ambiguous as soon as you nest them

yup. Fixed list of supported cpus. Well, I suppose it grows to include newer CPUs. That said the rufus workaround can work for these - I'm writing this from a machine that's not a supported cpu that I just upgraded to Win 11 wit

by dgoldstein0 10mo ago
totally agree, but it is a bit ridiculous that this workaround is required.

Yeah I agree, it sounds like a misunderstanding. I'll go further and say what we probably want is for the derivative of net income as a function of earned income to be monotonic increasing but max out less than 1. So that there aren&#

This. No need for continuity in the derivative - the marginal tax rate should be fine to jump around - but should start low (I'm fine with negative) and increase as you earn more. Like US federal tax brackets, but with benefits also

Did we read the same thing? I think Google here said there would be a $25 fee per developer (for those who can't fit in their limited distribution category). I suppose it's much better than a fee per paid install but it's no

I think authoritarian fits better. They may be copying Soviet techniques which is a government that happened to espouse a communist economic philosophy, but in practice this has nothing to do with the economics and everything to do with ex

Also can you imagine trying to download software over the Internet in the 90s? They couldn't depend on their users having high speed connections because most didn't. App stores probably couldn't work before 2000.

Which is why the default is often move to trash these days, or includes an undo option for a bit instead of a confirmation dialog. But some actions are pretty hard to undo (eg installing malware), so the issue in general stands.

Yikes. I missed that. Makes sense it wasn't just the station it was tuned to but the particular data they broadcasted; insane there was no way to power reset the system into a good state.

I think it depends. Encrypted filesystems typically encrypt contents of each file separately - that way you don't need to read / write the whole disk to read it write any individual file contents. Of course that means metadata m

Looks like recipients can be anyone but would be forced to create a guest account if they don't have one. Which sounds like Google meditating key exchange? Which isn't really e2e encryption at least for the initial message.

by dgoldstein0 1y ago
Any idea what those are exactly? Does it only work for recipients on teams with SSO? Or is this just gating who can start these supposedly e2e encrypted email threads?

One thing I found is the field of view is much better in landscape orientation on my phone than portrait. Still a little small but not nearly as bad.

An IPO means selling a whole bunch of people, whereas fundraising rounds pre-IPO mean courting a small number of large investors. I think it's partly a sign of the times that there's enough concentrated capital that you can get e

It might be referring to the check if whether npm is up to date so it can prompt you to update if it isn't?

But why are those teams incentivized to exist? For roads, brushes, wastewater, sewer, electricity - it's because these things are public utilities and ultimately there is accountability - from local government at least - that some of t
