Order of magnitude in casual conversation typically means 10x. I don't think 2x vs 10x qualifies as pedantic.

Yes. '\' denotes an escape sequence, and "\{" was/is not a valid escape sequence.

The only times I was really happy and motivated at work was when I was working within a team where we were really friends Ditto! A business is made of employees, but the employees are not the business. Sometimes that means decisions have

This. I worked at Google around the same time. Adwords and Gmail were customers of my team. I remember appreciating how much nicer it was to run Java servers, because best practice for C++ was (and presumably still is) to immediately abort

I haven't had a chance to look at these yet, but generated APIs are often a bit of a step down from hand curated APIs. The blog post doesn't mention any improvements, but rather focuses on the fact that GitHub can spend more time

What vehicle and charging are you referring to? I don't routinely need to charge in very low temps, but I have had the experience of charging at 0F just fine with M3P with home L2 charger.

But it's not like that. Examples of clearly infringing prompts in TFA were as vague as "animated plumber". Asking your session musician for something "melancholy" and having them pass off Stairway to Heaven as origi

What happens when you lose connection mid-maneuver, or there's congestion on the network causing high latency? The vehicle would have to be smart enough to execute all the tactical parts of driving anyway. Adding remote piloting just a

I'm not a PM, but I found this really weird initially, too. Then I realized I could start safely storing things in the glovebox conveniently - behind a code, no physical key necessary. It changed my mind and I started considering it we

I was talking to folks who did this in the southeast. Compensation was the problem, not location.

Dear no, rather exactly the opposite. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised at this point if all new cars have the capability to reboot the display system in the middle of driving. You definitely don't want these systems intertwined. I

Many years ago, I discussed possible employment with a major head unit manufacturer. They were very excited about modernizing but basically stunned into silence when I mentioned typical senior FAANG pay. I'd be surprised if things have

I read through some but not all of the rationale. This seems crazy. I used to live in a relatively rural area (think 10mi from the nearest town of 500 and another 30 miles away from the nearest "city"). All of the other options as

There are probably hundreds of ways a plane could fail that would require constant low latency supervision by a pilot. For example, in this specific circumstance, the pilots had to manually maintain speed within a narrow range of 3-4 knots

I didn't live in SF, but I flew there several times a year for over a decade. Market Street definitely saw a huge decline over that period. By the end, coworkers were refusing to walk it anymore for safety reasons.

This is incorrect. The JVM has an explicitly separate link phase [0]. The difference with AOT compilers is that linking is deferred until runtime. Rather than saying there's no link phase, you should think of it like as if your favorit

Yeah, this was a very strange statement to read. In fact, it's even more wrong than that. The ability for managed runtimes to perform LTO across dynamic code loading means you're even able to get LTO across code your compiler has

"If you don't look back on your code and think of ways it can improve then there's a good chance you're not learning." I say this exact same thing to junior engineers who are acclimating to code reviews and might be

Way back when, for a while, our local (Google) office's internet access ran off the same physical lines as the local prod datacenter traffic. So, any time there was a datacenter traffic outage of any kind, our office was also out. Ther

The same linked website (iihs.org) says between 30-60% of all fatal accidents involve alcohol. I strongly agree that the safety comparisons aren't anywhere near the same ballpark. They are just too apples to oranges. All that said, I d

Some creators have previously stated, here on HN, that they get a much bigger slice of YT premium. Sorry, I'm too lazy right now to Google a link for you.

FYI, Spanner came long before CockroachDB. Indeed, the founders of CockroachDB are Xooglers and Spanner was inspiration for the latter.

There are many pieces of process global runtime state that can get corrupted that are irrelevant to the input data. You can get lucky and sometimes avoid corruption, but eventually you're going to hit something important like leaving a

They're describing sending a signal to a thread, not "killing" it. IIRC, the only thing tgkill is going to do for you is ensure which thread runs the signal handler. For example, if you send a SIGTERM, (IIRC), you will termin

I'd love to better understand what you're describing. Thread-level compute limits generally seem like they need to be managed in some sort of cooperative fashion, otherwise you end up with the possibility of dangling locks and oth

Historically "AI" meant what "AGI" now means today. That's what they're referring to.
