I personally think so, though I haven't come (even close) to digesting all the details. Worth noting it's a blog post that goes into some depth on a wide-variety of papers. (There's also a secondary follow-up post, which I ha

seems like probably right? i wonder why it's even limited; i'm guessing somehow it can't faithfully represent just "normal" colors at that level of brightness, but can do hightlights per HDR information. which which

Yeah, I got taken in by the 1000 vs 500 nits thing. I was expecting this display to be brighter (which would be great for use in bright environments), but, no, it's the same as my old mb pro. Way faster tho!

I guess it depends on how high a level you're looking at it from. Both lockstep and rollback are variants of the general approach of "shared deterministic simulation" where you're mostly just sending inputs. ("Mostl

Product types + nullability is the same as sum types if you treat it that way, but it's less nice because the data representation in memory will not be as compact, and you won't get any guarantees from your language that you didn&

Smart rich kids can continue to go to academically rigorous private schools. Smart poor kids can go pound sand. Of course, to really strike a blow for equality, they should also ban the private schools. Reminds me of the Vonnegut story. &

That'd be extreme, but there would be all sorts of possible ways. See eg https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/oct/23/gough-...

It's also just good optics. "$160K is a reasonable developer salary." Even if in practice it's not how they want to use the money right now, it's setting expectations correctly.

Historically unlike Apple, but becoming increasingly common sadly. Beyond any tech details, I think the real problem is they've somehow just lost interest (or maybe even ability?) in crafting software to a high, delightful quality bar.

Lovely, thank you! Unfortunately, all I have to give in return in this video of a sloppy Safari animation. :-) https://filebin.net/59kjnt15u834j7xl/safari-anim.mov

Haha, yeah I'm not going to argue for rich Corinthian leather, or the aesthetics of the old iTunes UI or brushed metal or whatever. The visual style now is great. But the usability and quality of the animations and general fit-and-fini

With the glaring exception of the butterfly keyboard debacle (typing on, what, my fourth right now? and already showing some signs of wonkiness), I agree hardware quality is amazing & best its ever been. The software though... Fit and f

Well, it's not really dividing, sorting, and merging, so I wouldn't say it's too similar to quicksort. It's basically insertion sort, but with the curious property that the last value of the sorted subarray immediately a

High level description of why it sorts: The inner loop takes an array and an index i in the array, and rearranges the array to put the largest value at index i. This is done in such a way that if the sub-array up to but not including i is s

Yes, but you can see how it makes sense: weather and the various dangers of being unprotected (walking or biking) in an urban environment. Ideally we'd have better designed urban environments to alleviate at least the second, but alas.

This might be a very naive question, but would it not be the case that many contracts would be essentially similar in nature? So while weird loopholes would exist at first, over time there could be a large library of tried-and-true contract

That's pretty crazy. So I wonder, do Frank-Lin put any flavors in their vodkas? Or is it just water + alcohol, and any perceived differences in flavor are down to the labels? Edit: Nevermind, just read the Skyy link. Indeed, they add f

Interesting points. If I were to hazard cynical guesses, I'd say anti-corruption drives are genuine, in that corruption hurts American business interests, and anti-sex-crimes stuff is convenient to intelligence services who use sexual

Beyond even Trump supporters, Twitter banned Trump himself. (While he was still the democratically-elected president!) Among those alarmed by the move were...Navalny, who described it as "an unacceptable act of censorship". https

I don't think liberal democracies care about these freedoms, other than as a rhetorical stick to hit countries that "illiberal" with. E.g. imprisonment of Julian Assange, removal of Trump from twitter, Atlantic Council as off
