So one effect I've seen over the last decade of working: if it never needs to change, and no one is adding features, then no one works on it. If no one works on it, and people quit / change teams / etc, eventually the team t

Good question. I think something to keep in mind, the US hasn't fought a war on the home front since 1865. The Spanish American war, WWI and WWII, Vietnam, Korea, the Gulf war, Afghanistan, Iraq - none of these were fought on American

Perhaps then there should be a subscription API, so Apple could make the nice "see all your subscriptions in one place" UI? Or maybe banks could better offer this as part of online banking for credit cards. Not sure the right pla

Yes. And most server hardware is already at least ECC ram. You may still want some light radiation shielding to prevent the worst, maybe some heavier shielding for solar flares. But beyond that, simple error correction can be baked into

I've had several cases of drivers just not picking me up. Reading their time to move anywhere at all, driving away and keep getting further and further away, it driving towards me only to turn some other direction. I always just canc

Almost every js API for making requests is asynchronous so they do return after the request is made. The exception though is synchronous XHR calls, but I'm not sure if those are still supported ... Anyhow I think it doesn't matte

I don't believe this is true? As others have pointed out, preflight options requests only happen for non simple requests. Cors response headers are still required to read a cross domain response, but that is still a huge window for a

Maybe some use cases want to know if there was overflow? In which case having more space for carry bits to accumulate makes it easy to give an accurate answer
101.
by dgoldstein0 1y ago
There's not just "result with carry" and "result without carry" but rather one variant of that per word of the input ... Which likely isn't that bad to code up.

Off the top of my head? Bazel is the Java program I use the most. Hadoop/hive and similar stuff also heavily Java but I'm not sure how much that's in use anymore

That last one should largely be solved by 1) TLS 2) make your cookie __Secure- or __Host- - which then require the secure attribute. If DNS is wrong, it should then point to a server without the proper TLS cert and your cookie wouldn't

I appreciate the sentiment but I don't see that catching on. I think a variant of bricked makes sense as it basically means you can't use the device until you can figure out how to fix it. Which the "muddied" analogy d

Sounds like it. But the compaction section has more details - basically you can discard events that are overwritten by later ones

My guess is they are thinking of it more as a replacement for dram or disk. I didn't read far enough to learn if it failed after all those cycles or just "we stopped testing it". Either way it sounds promising.

That's a good argument against bad and exploitative ads. Not all ads are necessarily bad. Eg have you ever seen an ad for an event in your town? Maybe a play or a concert you'd want to see. Those to me feel more like "public

But Congress doesn't actually decide to print new money? When they decide to spend they have to raise taxes or issue debt (treasuries). The federal reserve, on the other hand, controls interest rates and other mechanisms which actually

It's going to vary business to business, but if you have to spend money now to make money later, there's always going to be some preference to make sure that if the % return later is too small the money gets reallocated to somethi

It might depend on the state and the age pool but I have to pay a percentage and based on that it's more like $10k/year. So you are almost 2x undercounting ... But maybe if the average employee of a company is 25 they could get a

Key word, "if". Trump hasn't stated that goal. It's unclear he has a particular goal in mind other than "trade deficits bad, tariffs can fix trade deficits therefore tariffs good".

Lol I like the implication that they might drive you into the median or the side of a semi truck. Very apt analogy - we built it because we could, without asking whether we should

Having taken a minute to understand this, I agree with the chrome team - it's not a bug, but rather an unfortunate complexity of interacting with caching and a server. It's definitely a choice on their part to issue a request dif

I think the more common architecture is for edge network to terminate SSL, and then transmit to the load balancer which is actually in the final data center? In which case you can http2 or 3 on both those hops without requiring it on the ap

One idea that crossed my mind while reading the article: for websites that already use react-intl, have react-intl implement an API to allow supplying machine translations of messages into languages otherwise not supported by the app. The p
