Denver also mints coins for circulation (mint mark D) and San Francisco does rarely, but mostly does proof sets (legal tender, but generally kept by collectors). Apparently there’s also a newer mint at West Point which uses a W mint mark an

I’d not encountered that term before. I’d always called it spatchcocking.

Because Russt and Swift are doing much more work than a C compiler would? The analysis necessary for the borrow checker is not free, likewise with a lot of other compile-time checks in both languages. C can be fast because it effectively do

It’s not quite that bad. My brother was a veterinarian and in his case, it was very much a vocation thing: he knew he wanted to be a veterinarian by the time he was maybe 10 or 11 and took a remarkably direct route there. The vast majority

If you give them the money after they do the favor, it’s legal, the supreme court said so. Plus, apparently trump feels that bribing foreign officials is essential to American competitiveness so FCPA is going unenforced. Welcome to the futu

The other thing is that privatization is old-school patronage on steroids: if you structure it right, you get to channel government money to the recipients in a way that continues even after you lose power.

Yeah he goes on to talk about an external data source for metadata, so this statement is, as far as I know, wrong, even by the standard of what’s in this article.

I had always thought that the odds of doubled discs based on the TOC were unlikely, but it turns out that with discs with fewer tracks (≤4 or so), you can get duplicates quite easily.

I kind of look forward to freshman composition essays “written” with AI that are rife with appeals to use online casinos.

I’m looking at the picture and the roof is many stories up in the sky. I think they’ve got foxes in more places than just the roof.

0th triangle number and I think that can probably be connected to 1+1-1+1-1+⋯=½ somehow.

It’s possible, I suppose. One of my favorite proofs that the sums of each row are powers of two comes from the fact that the numbers in row n+1 are the coefficients of the powers of (a+b)ⁿ, so setting a=b=1 you get 2ⁿ (most discrete math st

That’s the piece. I knew it was either a story by Asimov or something in a collection he had edited. (Of course, I also needed to confirm that this was really the name of the story and not something that ChatGPT fabricated.)

There was a point before Google got “smart” searches when it could find stuff like this more easily. I used it to turn up things I’d read thanks to remembering just a line or two from the book.

There was a short story I read back in the early 80s (although it was much older), which predicted LLMs—albeit rather oddly. The system had a chimpanzee connected to a computer (the chimp being the magic sauce to make the AI work). You coul

The memory management strategies in Rust and Swift are similar. The big performance hit in Swift would come in method dispatch where it’s following Objective C strategies which would result in indirect calls for object methods. This is poss

I don’t know that there’s anything that magical about Swift in particular, but rather the difference of running without the big runtime of the JVM and the advantages of memory management. Go will probably give improvements (and likely be an
