Yes, but the risk is not quantified, one also exposes themselves to carcinogens when eating anything that has been smoked and I'm sure if you put kidney cells in a bath of carcinogens it would also not do so great. Tthe fact that there

It is strange to see people with such mistrust of a microwave because it is "unnatural" and therefore unhealthy. The process of cooking anything using something "natural" like a fire creates a lot more carcinogens than a

Interesting idea, A small but impactful change I would make would be to change dollar amounts into tokens. e.g. 1 token = $50. A company might want to buy 1000 tokens and allocate tokens individually to specific issues, but they also might

The weight of the car only affects the fuel cost for accelerating to a given speed. Maintaining a speed is almost entirely the surface area * coefficient of drag * speed^2 some of which is used for cooling. Electric cars generally have bett

The larger the buffer size, the larger the latency. This is mostly irrelevant for playing an audio file, but in some cases a long chain of buffers in the OS before it leaves to the speaker can be an issue for music. The main place you will

Ah, if you need to know that for certain then you'd be restricted to 18 balls (6,6,6), (2,2,2), (1,1). Otherwise I guess you would "only" know in 26/27 cases if it was heavier or lighter (off the balance in all 3 conditi

I'm not sure why you say it won't work with 14 balls, this is solvable with up to 27 balls in 3 weighs. Weigh 1: 9 vs 9 (18 on balance), 9 off Weigh 2: 3 vs 3 (6 on balance ), 3 off Weigh 3: 1 vs 1 (2 on balance ), 1 off

The default fonts are just plain awful. It's trivial to drop in a better font and make it indistinguishable from native. Possibly a licensing issue as to why they don't include better ones by default as you have to bake it in? or

The issue in a browser is that you have a default zoom that is often not 100% and you can also "zoom" in/out of web pages which by will cause blurriness or overly sharp images. If you decide to ignore that in favor of the na

Generally I'd say that what you're doing WASM can sometimes be a lot slower than native, but if you're using WebGL to do bilinear interpolation that is something that is entirely on the GPU and is basically free, so it's

Win/Chrome, the clocks for both sides would be frozen if the bug happened then I had to press back, I often had to "redo" my move manually.

I had to click the "back" and "forward" buttons 10+ times during the game for the ai to "play" a move while my clock got significantly lower. Highly frustrating. Seemed related to how fast I played a move.

The problem is that humans fail in very different ways. I don't ever need to wonder if a human driver following behind a road maintenance truck visibly carrying traffic cones or stop signs is going to be a problem...

A lot of constants are known at compile time and constexpr solves a lot of problems. However, you do not need constexpr to solve your example- this is still a compile error: void iter(std::vector<int>& vec) { auto& vec_

by fizzynut 4y ago
Like I said, use constexpr. constexpr int a = 4; auto& b = a; a+= 1; // compile error b+= 1; // compile error Trying to make b constexpr with "a" as an int is also a compile error.

Please don't make this adversarial. I've not introduced a security bug in every for loop I've written. What I've written shouldn't be controversial, just take a look at Googles style guide: "We use int very oft

by fizzynut 4y ago
I don't think a for loop using an int is bad or even "more wrong than right". If anything int is much better than using size_t. Using an integer, in the 1000s of for loops I've written, none get even remotely close to th

Ok, a real life comparison, lets say there are 1000s of real life mines around the world that currently mine gold for say $50 per gram, but suddenly a processing technique lowers that cost for all miners to $0.50 per gram. In any normal mar

That's my point though, after the merge the proof of stake nodes are earning a lot of ETH for a fraction of the previous cost, the only way price should stay stable is if everyone with a stake agrees not to undercut each other.

by fizzynut 4y ago
Those with a "stake" of ETH will be gaining $xxxx of ETH for a cost of $x, so why would you not sell for a giant profit?

by fizzynut 4y ago
Given that the merge reduces the electricity cost for new Ethereum by ~1000x, won't the price just tank in a race to the bottom?

Yeah the main issues with visual programming are: - Logic tends to take up a lot more screen space than real code - There is no defined way to read the code. In real code you start top left and read left to right and down, but in visual cod

There's many other issues to mention, but in the "memory safe" languages you have poor control over memory allocation and fragmentation, which over time can cause issues with performance, size, swapping, etc.
