Eh, it's price + complexity. People don't want to pay full price for 100% of a service's catalog when they only consume 10%. People don't want to pay the complexity of switching between more than 2-3 services when they o

Just... don't. use. Twitter. I mean, dear god, it's a cesspool of incivility. It's very structure discourages civil discourse because everyone is trying to be the most pithy. And clicking on the links that are supposed to be

I mean, what you're asking for is just profiling, but only of your async methods. I'm not familiar enough with the details to predict how async messes with profilers, so maybe it'd need support. But using a flamegraph profile

What is a 'sync action'? Async is fundamentally cooperative multitasking. There is no real difference between the 'blocking'-ness of iterating over a large for-loop and doing a blocking I/O action - the rest of your

I thought I'd be onboard from the first paragraph but then you took a hard turn into gamification. That seems like entirely too much overhead for a topic that already doesn't have enough time to teach the fundamentals properly. No

Do you have a sane setup you can share with uMatrix? Last time I looked at it, I was a bit overwhelmed and shelved it for later.

I wonder if we aren't going about this a bit wrong. As much as I love learning about the nuts and bolts of statistics, would the general populace not be better of learning the basics of why (experiment design, independence, covarianc

It was a promotional deal and I haven't let the lease on the VPS lapse. I didn't know what to do with it at first, but it was too good of a deal to pass up.

I got a special deal at a VPS provider for $1/mo for 1vCPU and 256MB RAM. With only Wireguard running, I experience no issues whatsoever. RAM usage is minimal, sub 100MB, I forget the particulars. I added unbound with a huge DNS blac

In a vacuum, reading that statement, that was the assumption I made. Certainly strikes me as a bit odd, but then, SQLite is a bit of an odd project. And sometimes odd projects do things differently in a way that works out well because they

This doesn't seem the same because we don't pick something before you give us all of the information, no?

I don't think this breaks your usage. Assuming those links/buttons sends the user to Amazon/Paypal, then the cookies will be 1st party.

Seems to have been hugged to death. Also, some of the header links seemed to not work, possibly due to overzealous ad blockers? Not sure, I clicked on something else and got a 502 after that.

Okay... This implies the light was stretched along with the space, right? Because otherwise, the photons would just... Never reach here if space between us and the light expanded faster than c.

I mean, is this even currying? Or just emulating currying? Without it being done automatically, it is an ergonomic loss, readability loss, etc.

I see the point, but I consider this more an indictment of ISPs than complexity or IaC or more abstractions. Even if I saw that the update was modeled as delete/insert, I probably would have okayed it. ISPs doing shitty things... I mea

Unless Galois Fields doesn't refer to the more specific 'field' class of object, why wouldn't primes make sense in that context? Fields can have divisors. You can define a prime as any number whose only divisor is itself

I mean, at the very least I assume that they can generate a function, check that it wasn't in the training set, then solve it and verify. Then what would be your complaint?

Bought one, returned it within their 30 day window. It wrote well, but the software supporting it is terrible. The only way to get your scribbles off the thing is by having it do some attempt at OCR and then it EMAILS you the text.

Hmm. Now if I could make a FreeNAS plugin out of it...

Memory safety? C++ has lots of bells and whistles, some of which Rust doesn't have (classes, to name one), but those aren't necessarily more important bells and whistles. Also, the Rust infrastructure is light-years ahead of linki

This is the point I wanted to make. English is terribly imprecise about these things.

That is a questionable interpretation. It means the 98% one lets twice as much air in, but it doesn't block twice as much wind because the amount of ambient wind remains constant. To be more explicit, if there are 100 units of wind and

I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised that it loaded the whole thing. How could the OS predict how much to load (or wait on)? Waiting for a page to load just for the next function call would be hugely expensive.

A linear model on a heretofore unknown predictor is basically how all hedge funds make money. Coming up with the predictor is often the hard part. For example, take the tweets of a (sane) president and run sentiment analysis on it. If it is

Unless/until a lot more is written in Rust... not much. It uses slightly more base RAM to load the binary. Some of the bloat is things that in C programs would be dynamically linked in - it isn't that Rust is doing more, it's

Sorry, I wasn't clear. Each stage is an evolution of policy. Once people rely on UBI and don't have easily accessible alternative options, those who control UBI can corrupt it to control those who depend on it. We have seen this h
