I think you're greatly underestimating how difficult it is to preserve this sort of knowledge. A particle accelerator is not a case where you're going to build exactly the same thing again, like you might do with an F-22. Any new

It was definitely in Arc first, and probably in other lisps before that: https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki/blob/master/arc.arc#L1... Edit: Yes, it's in Common Lisp too, so it goes back at least

I understand that they replace them with whatever is newest at the time, so since I did my replacement in fall 2018, yes.

I wrote my Ph.D. dissertation on the 2016 MacBook Pro keyboard. It's... ok, I don't hate it, but even after years of using it, I still sometimes get this odd feeling that something is slightly off. I've never had this feeli

It gets printed to the console by default when you run cloud-init, and e.g. in AWS you can retrieve the console logs with an API call and grep for what you want. I've got a script sitting around here somewhere which does this... Not ne

Klee is also a great example of the cost of LLVM's never-backwards-compatible approach: according to their home page, the stable release of Klee runs on 3.4 and 3.8 is "experimental". (The LLVM releases since then have includ

Maybe this was intended as a joke, but if someone with legal experience can reply, I'd be interested to know how far this can actually fly. After all, companies frequently have "drive-by" EULAs that you "agree" to b

Presumably, you'd also adopt a base 12 number system, so that decimal 12 becomes 10, and decimal 36 becomes 30, etc.

I'm not sure this is realistic in our modern society. Online, there is some flexibility: you can pay to remove ads for some things, and use ad-block on the ones that don't provide such an option. But in the offline world, I'm

I do find it surprising how often a short reply (of any kind) just isn't appropriate, but Google goes ahead and makes a suggestion anyway. I would have thought that "no quick response" would have been one of the options they

I don't know if you've ever seen Kokkos[1], but that's one of the big C++ frameworks for taking parallel loops and using templates to generate code for SIMD and multiple cores. They also support GPU code generation to some de

What bothers me is that this has to be designed under the assumption that the other car could be malicious and that any input received could be intentionally deceptive. I'm just not convinced that auto (or aerospace) companies have a h

I have a theory that boredom, and specifically long-term boredom, is a resource that gets depleted by being continuously busy. The day-to-day grind of a job can be conducive for productivity, but it can really limit creativity. To date, I t

Personally, I always go to Wikipedia for these sorts of things. Information density is so much higher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Google_Pixel_sma... Looks like the Pixel 3 stats aren't up yet, bu

That's the feature for viewing a separate feed per friend list. The basic functionality of creating friend lists and assigning them different privacy settings isn't going anywhere.

The funny thing about coding is that every time we automate something away, we just go on to take on ever more ambitious projects. We've been automating away our own jobs for decades, and... the jobs haven't gone anywhere. If anyt

For the record there is a level you can pay for CBS All Access that turns off the ads (at least on original content, which is I assume the only reason anyone would sign up for it anyway). It costs more than the ad-full version, but that&#x2

Most stores don't sell products for third parties. And no third party sellers means a drastically reduced inventory. I don't like the fakes any more than the next person, but I think the problems are genuinely more difficult than

There are two levels. One has ads. One doesn't. Presumably they're doing this to force their ad-viewing users to actually watch the ads.

I see your point, but isn't that a problem for any enforcement scheme? Unless Amazon is going to invest the energy of their own employees into determining what is fake and what isn't, the best you can do is rely on the signal you

Similar to the sibling comment, I can't seem to repro. I switched "More Space", restarted Firefox, loaded up a dozen or so tabs. I even watched a YouTube video for about 10 minutes. The video did cause CPU to jump a bit, but

I would just note, for anyone else coming on this, that in Terra you can also call back into Lua. From an implementation perspective, sure it goes through the C API, but as far as users are concerned, it looks pretty much like a normal func

I don't know exactly what conditions are required to reproduce the bug, but it clearly does not apply to all rMBPs. I'm on a 15-inch 2016 rMBP and have been using Firefox on it successfully since I got it. Before that I spent a co

For those of us who are only half paying attention, how does this compare to Terra[1]? Are you using something (e.g. LLVM) for code generation? Can you generate binaries that are independent of the Lua runtime? [1]: http://terral

Wow, this is a tough set of questions! Some initial thoughts: > How does Legion differ from languages like Halide which separate scheduling from the algorithm? Yes, that's one of the similarities. Legion, Sequoia, and Halide all sha
