That would have been more possible a decade ago when the web browsers were less compatible and sites relied on the lowest common denominator feature set. With the increase in compatibility sites now rely on libraries that each depend on a d

It is being likened to bubblesort in various places but your description (which I quite like) makes it seem like quicksort with an intentionally bad (worst possible?) bifurcation.

It is pretty obvious if you search for any old topic that is also covered incessantly by the news. "royal family" is a good example. There's no way those news stories published an hour ago are listed first due to a high PageR

You're focusing on the overweight side of the ledger, causing your character judgement to kick into gear. Controlling your weight can be difficult without moral failure. When I was 14 I was desperate to gain weight (5'10" 128

While I don't advocate for mass applying, I have always believed that most top candidates for a position will only hit approximately 5/8 desired experience/skills points. As Carmack says in the thread, the labor force simply

Likewise, I've never found any correlation between those degrees and security improvements delivered by consultants. Honestly, the best security consultants I know of are essentially con men (and women!) who have devoted their amateur

I agree that people often don't treat the exit code the way they should when using the backticks. However there's better options in the ruby stdlib too, like `system` and `spawn` and `popen`. Using the other methods allows you to

Their evidence consisted of more than web server logs. I personally don't think their claims matched their evidence but they did provide details about the exploits found, corroborated by the FBI. The primary implant found on the DNC ne

This summary of the common disingenuousness of Apple defenders is decent IMO but the associations this post makes to other socially controversial debates is not helpful. The COVID precautions mentioned are designed to protect the entire pop

Game developers end up using the distro tooling when they port the game to SteamOS. One of the tensions with Ubuntu was that developers felt familiar with it (good) but the system libraries lagged what was needed by new games (bad) so devel

Considering MacOS share of developers is around ~30%, most developers can't cmd-click :) Seriously though, there's whole camps of developers who don't use an IDE. Some people are just more productive keeping a model in their

One reason the SSR mess is so easy to walk into is that everyone knows it's a reasonable amount of refactoring to get out of later. The cleanup of an SSR app lacks the deployment headaches of SPAs (doubly so with the service worker lay

Multiple news orgs have stated in public that they don't care about paywalls bypassers because they put up the paywall to convert only the most amenable readers. This is very similar to the paper distribution model where an extreme min

It's far from clear that draw-on-top paywalls qualify for the protection offered by either the DMCA or the CFAA. Even if they did, the mechanisms by which this specific extension works are indistinguishable actions users take for many

Sounds like you have tests that need to read (probably cached) data files while the parent poster has tests that need to write to disks (probably in a database transaction). Those are different enough that run times won't ever be compa

AI and ML have different goals, which sometimes overlap. The goal of ML is to discover relationships in data that can only be (easily) observed by a machine. That usually serves as decision support data for a human decision maker or another

Which of their actions are so obviously pro-Russia? I can think of some that are pro-Russia in the sense that they are attacking Russia's opponents but those targets are opposed by others as well, making the conclusion less clear. The

The point is that the editorial board's denunciation of Snowden is empty, dishonest, and to be ignored unless it comes with an equally contemptuous charge against the WaPo news dept.

The HTML comparison was referring to the python bytecode rather than the language. A more apt comparison would be CISC vs RISC processors, where the V8 IR is more like a RISC processor.

Another way to look at it is that using multiple suppliers and multiple designs allows them to shorten the production time window before launch. That allows them to use more time for design while curtailing their suppliers' ability to
