AoC is still is algorithms and data structures: there's minimal interaction with the outside world, just solving the problem for the input data. It's just about coming up with the algorithm yourself instead of applying fancy well-

I think if that was the biggest problem, they'd be used much more. There are a lot of places with light and regular winds, and we're also pretty good at predicting winds in the 1 day forward timescale. And of course there's t

Server side rendering: > One technique we use to tune the experience quickly was to make iteration in the product itself very easy. We did this using server driven UI. In a traditional client-server model, the client is responsible for e

It's encouraging that people are starting to think critically about energy usage in the US and worrying about LLMs is as good introduction as any. The main problem is that US needs to ramp down fossil fuel extraction and usage, and bri

Ongoing read of your neighbours, roommates, co-workers etc health data from a distance including recent history is getting your hands on sensitive personal data in addition to health data. You can tell what they are doing, getting drunk or

So you just scan for devices and then read? There's no authorization involved, these just publish the readings wirelessly for all interested?

Hrm. These are the top level Rust ownership rules according to the book[1]: Each value in Rust has an owner. There can only be one owner at a time. When the owner goes out of scope, the value will be dropped. C has none of

The complexity of Rust is on another level, it's a huge language.

People incl home users have a lot of uses for e2e connectivity. But it's of course a self-fulfilling prophecy, when we make the internet more like TV ("receive only") the network effects curve down and people use less of it.

As the GPGPU scene trajectory seems dismal[1] for the foreseeable future wrt the DX, this seems like the best hope. [1] Fragmentation, at best C++ dialects, no practical compiler tech to transparently GPU offload, etc

Compartments of internally unsafe sandboxes are what we have now, with browsers employing native-code sandboxes and isolated renderer processes etc. It gets leaky.

If your browser is running in a wasm sandbox, it's a minor comfort that only your browser gets compromised which contains all your creds, etc.

One advantage of TB is that it's more like PCIe than USB, so you don't typically get the slowdown from adapter chips in things like USB SSD cases you mention.

All of networking, SSDs, eGPUs would go faster than that today, nevermind during the lifespan of the device or concurrent use of those. (Current SSDs and Ethernet seem to go at about 100 Gbit/s, GPU external buses are an order of magni

Wow, disabling IPv6? Yeah, turning off your internet may increase security but this is pretty nihilist advice. Add "disable IPv4" too.

I'm sure you know but this is the opposite of what real-time conventionally means (you have hard deadlines -> worst case is the chief concern).

Maybe in the future the "alien intelligences" for next generations will be people who had classic educations before social media and LLMs.

We don't want Python programs to become the same kind of security swiss cheese as C/C++ programs.

40 bits per clock in a 8-wide core gets you 5 bits per instruction, and we have AVX512 instructions to feed, with operand sizes 100x that (and there are multiple operands). Modern chips do face the memory wall. See eg here (though about Zen

Big organizations just have a lot of bureucracy attempting to codify common sense. I bet they have paper saying you shouldn't do this.

Coming from a testing specialist - the facts are right but the framing seems negatively biased. For the generalist who wants to get some Playwright tests up, the low hanging fruit is definitely helped a lot by generative AI. So I emphatical

This sounds like proprietary syntax for SQL 2011 temporal queries. Apparently supported by eg MS SQL server and MariaDB.

I think the takeoff was hampered by being paid software at the time when it generated the most excitement and then the "free to use but proprietary" concided with XTDB. (And then for XTDB its v1 -> v2 reboot dampened that one)
