I don't know what rock I was living under, but I finally tried it yesterday after a misadventure forced me to upgrade to Windows 10 to support a new nvme drive. Tabletop Simulator, The Witcher 3, Endless Legend, all play perfectly. Hav

It'd be pretty hard to prove or even notice. It's probably happened, the corporate world is too big, but it may not be common.

eh, arbitrary protocols, sure. But the web has always been human-readable and I don't want to change that. Therefore, you're gunna get serialized strings.

Taxes are not totalitarian, which was the implication.

It's not clear to me that asymtomatic doesn't mean immune. If the primary symptoms are due to over-replication of the virus and not fighting it enough resulting in cell death in lungs and other airways, then asymptomatic infection

This is mixed news. While this indicates the death rate may be lower and the infection rate higher among the general population, the demographic of individuals in the US military are going to be of significantly higher health than the gener

This demonstrates how to represent a failed computation (empty list), but doesn't show how to distinguish a failed computation and a successful one with no solution. Or how to represent errors. What does Result look like?

by eximius 7y ago
Its interesting, but I'm not sure that your proposal still qualifies as concise. Nor am I sure that ADT-based error handling (Option/Result/etc) belongs should be considered silently dropped. Option certainly sees some abuse,

> An intuitive understanding of monads is necessary to understand how to work with monads like Result fluidly. I think it helps but is hardly necessary.

While compelling, flattening doesn't make something a monad, does it? Not snark, if that's a consequence of one of the three laws, I'm just unaware of it. I know what monads are but I'm not practised with them. But of le

How does the error case break the monadic model? All of the monad rules still apply, I think.

I took a look at fehler but the thing that kept me from forming an opinion is I have no idea what things look like at the call site - and couldn't find examples in the docs. If the ONLY thing fehler does is Ok-wrapping on the annotated

And that's fair! It's not perfect. And, ignorantly, I would assume it'd be easy to add, so they probably should. But I can understand why this is a trade-off they'd make in terms of your comfort level (relatively rare to

The DO NOT slurp your contacts. They invented a way to do contact discovery in a secure way: https://signal.org/blog/private-contact-discovery/ . From the article: "Using this service, Signal clients will be a

They have similar IDs, but they are IDs not authentication methods in and of themselves. SSNs are Bearer IDs that the knowing of is proof of identity, which is dumb.

by eximius 7y ago
Contact Discovery is not seen as privacy invasive, I guess. It says, X has Signal, but that's it. So I see how it is, strictly speaking, broadcasting 'private' information, but it is hard to care terribly. I'm far more c

A userland process can view/edit the memory of another userland process. Not so with kernel processes.

Is this actually lossless - that is, the same pixels as the original are recovered, guaranteed? I'm surprised such guarantees can be made from a neural network.

Presumably they have conversations somewhere between those two poles. But maybe they really doesn't care.

Odd article as this isn't new . Is it new in that other manufacturers have started and they have no plans to? My current Honda has a very comfortable interface, probably my favorite of any car I've driven.

Toy OS, so he has less to worry about. But also maybe just be more careful around kernel modules, if that eventually exists?

What do you mean by functionally equivalent? Channels are just queues and passing methods. Rust style futures are closer to continuations. Both are powerful and can accomplish neat taska, but not ABI compatible or even used the same way.
