If books aren't your thing, I also highly recommend the BBC's miniseries 37 Days [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/37_Days_(TV_series) ] for a slightly dramatized, but still highly educational take on the titular

It's in comparison to weapons manufacturers, coal and oil companies, etc. A "less awful" index, if you will. If they were actually only including socially responsible companies the index would be useless, as it would be empty

I would wager that doesn't make up for how much slower the hardware is, though. The 4MHz value is the clock speed, but all instructions take a multiple of 4 clock cycles to accomplish, so you often talk about it as a 1MHz "instruc

It can be. It can also be more serious. This is the whole point of the article - everyone is arguing about two entirely different things, a most extreme version and a least extreme version, which need different ways of thinking about how th

Everything you described is a physical trait, not something deeply intertwined with your personality and identity. For people with mild autism, a closer analogy would be an aspect of your personality. Do you like to travel and explore new p

I think the assumption is that you're interested in the behaviour in a tight loop where you're doing almost nothing else - that's generally the context in which this kind of tight optimizaton matters.

Google assistant is the reason the phone is so cheap. The same reason a smart TV is cheaper than a dumb one, and why most of those "home assistant" things are cheap. You're not paying with money, you're paying by allowin

Well, shit. I don't understand why they're so bullish on this. They've tried to get rid of the single-transaction model before. I just don't get it. All they're going to do is give more money to paypal, at the expen

Of course, the other thing to consider is how many more people will drive due to a loss of trust in the FAA and airlines over the failure to ground the plane once it's percieved as unsafe. "I could drive or fly...oh, no, but what

"Dangerous" is probably the wrong word - anomalous is a better one. Most software doesn't need to know, say, how many entries there are in the Users table. It generally is querying for a specific user, or a range of users wit

.test is also problematic for the purpose of hosting internal (but not development/testing) domains on a private network. There is a draft RFC to reserve .internal for this purpose, which I think makes a lot of sense. https:/&#x2
