Wait, what?! SO hides questions with answers... but still retains them and allows logged in users with enough karma to see them? That is insane.

To be fair, Microsoft also sold a lot of Xboxes that were misdesigned from a thermal perspective, and thus red ringed themselves.

Yes, if one had the budget to do all those things, from scratch, better than an existing component manufacturer. Not many companies have NASA levels of "throw money at it until it works, and every part has been signed off on five tim

As near as I can tell, SO prunes duplicate-tagged questions. I 404d on the first few examples I pulled.

After reviewing a few meta posts on it, much appears to boil down to there being poor SO UX options. I.e. there isn't a "closed for being homework" category Consequently, duplicate served as the go-to but inappropriate "

I've volunteered as leadership in mixed IRL/online groups, and agreed that the online components were far more toxic. People who can't avoid being assholes to other people tend to avoid actually being around other people, but

It really is obscene how many useful answers I've found on threads that were subsequently closed as duplicate -- with a link to a question that's not even close to the same.

Yes, that's per-client performance scaling ("significant number of connections"), which indicates a pooled connection model might mitigate most of the performance impact while allowing some core code to remain process-oriente

As someone with similar experience, 100% agree. Free, competent, altruistically interested Pick two when looking for leaders. The "volunteer leader problem" boils down to looking for an altruistic individual who's capable and

I appear to have missed them, then. Could you point out, aside from the large numbers of clients I mentioned (and the development overhead of implementing multi-process memory management code), what the article mentions is a primary drawbac

For video narration elocution, I'd say it was most of the way there. When. Narrating. Videos. One. Tends. To. Speak. Differently. Or, the more important case -- if I'm listening to audio-version-of-X, is it sufficiently human-like

Was curious about this as an architectural solution as well. We're really talking about X-per-client as the primary reason to move away from processes, right? So if you can get most of the benefit via pooling... why inherit the pain of

For younger folks, I would suggest looking at E3 convention 1998 and 1999 galleries. That will tell you what you need to know about the state of the computer gaming industry and publishers at that point. This was circa-"John Romero&#x2

Give it 30 years. First comes military parity. Then come politicians who think it'd be a grand idea to use that to drive more favorable bargains. Then come politicians who figure it'd be better off if they just controlled the whol

Those both sound pretty boring. Curious in general, has Seattle as a greater entity mostly split into red & blue lines? Last time I was there, I remember there were more independent (and interesting) anti-WTO/globalization and anar

Inquiring minds (and a future resident) need to know -- which Seattle subreddit is the best? Or at least, what are the flavors?

Agreed. As weird as that was, I prefer it to the original.

I'll go on the record of being in favor of species-swapping Ewoks and Gungans, with Rancors and Gamorreans respectively.

As with many development methodologies, it probably has a formal version that I'm not understanding. But in my head, it's always been (1) identify areas of risk, (2) sprint to a prototype that decreases or quantifies that risk, (3

My litmus test for whether someone is worth talking to about this is whether they need to vilify any particular institution or individual. It's intellectually nasty and petty to spend more effort on pointing fingers than working thro

I'm of two minds on that. On one hand: yes, more data will inform future technical approaches and procedures. On the other hand: no, people are technically ignorant, xenophobic, and more willing to scapegoat and project anger than refl

People need to start thinking of politically-impactful truths in terms of probability distributions and outcome possibility spaces, rather than absolutely. If it were a lab leak, there are probably a handful of eyewitnesses. Any informati
