Originally, that function was just called "inlinePerformIO", with the relatively tame warning of: > Just like unsafePerformIO, but we inline it. Big performance gains as it exposes lots of things to further inlining. Very unsaf

The idea that tips are based on price in general is weird. It only makes sense to me if I think about them less as compensation, and more as a power play. Given the history of tipping in the US (where it didn't gain traction until eman

Windows? Every other general purpose OS we have today can trace its lineage pretty directly to UNIX, and they have not strayed that far from their roots. Even Windows is still of the same era. The shear size of the undertaking has meant tha

Are you intending to speak generally, because there are almost no markets where that is the way things work. I can't think of any other market that is restricted purely on the demand side, and the few markets I can think of with demand

As far as disbarment goes, does that really matter. The goal of licensing is to protect the public who will rely on his services. If he cannot provide that service adequately, he should not be licensed, weather his failure is a moral one or

I haven't read the underlying report since it is behind a wall. Having said that, when companies make predictions, they rarely predict a specific number. It is likely that a significant amount of companies saw attrition that was within

This is literally the point of customs. Otherwise, literally any product regulation would be toothless as foreign companies would simply sell us products that meet the requirements of their country, not the US. Since that does not happen at

Oracle sues Red Hat for violating one of Oracle's licenses. Red Hat comes into compliance and shares the source of whatever Oracle IP is in RHEL. I'm sure Oracle can find some IP of theirs in RHEL, but I don't think they own

Why would Oracle sue them? There is almost nothing for them to gain if they win, and a long and expensive court process regardless.

Companies violate the law all of the time. The procedural hurdles of enforcing GPL are significant, to the point where blatent violations normally go unpunished. Assuming someone with standing decides to sue and ends up winning the lawsuit,

This CoC is fine as far as it goes (unlike a certain copypasta CoC that was being spread years ago). However, the real gold is in the GNU Kind Communications Guidelines [0] that is linked to at the bottom, which has existed for years (publi

What is being discussed is using context clues to determine what a word is, in the sense of mapping the sequence of symbols on paper to a word. When you teach children to read, you want to use words that they already know. Once you have the

I've worked in a datacenter that had a few different networks that must not touch each other. One of the precautions we took was color coded ethernet cables. A blue cable plugged into a red server will cause an incident if someone sees

You don't need them (other than a basic level for legal compliance). In fact, most social media does not have moderation in the sense we see in Reddit. What the Reddit model provides, and your example lacks, is a shared reality. Ther

Because as an industry, we are bad at our jobs. The network facing software has critical security vulnerabilities. Even security folks accept that as the way of the world. At the point the software is released it has (hopefully) no known se

You can kind of do that, although the process is a bit inverted. BIOS settings are "measured" into the TPM, into a set of "platform configuration registers" (PCRs). The TPM itself takes no position on what the "corr

We are talking about having physical access to the machine for long enough to partially dissasemble it and physically manipulate the mother board. There are a lot of attacks that enables, and almost no one even claims to defend against them

Hence the need for a law. Something along the lines of: * Anyone who was given a contract with a provision that the drafter knew was unenforceable can sue. * If they win, they get, punitive damages, actual damages, and lawyer's fees. *

I'm reminded of a 400 leve linguistics class I took in undergrad. We had just read Chomsky's Remarks on Nominalization , and one of my classmates remarked, "I don't think this Chomsky guy understands X-Bar theory".

A similar insight: We teach children to read and write, but we don't need to teach them to listen and speak.

Chomsky is not trying to build a flying machine. He is trying to study birds. Biologists don't look at a 737 and say "that's obviously the way flight works, I wonder where the engine on that seagull is".

This paper completly misses the point of linguistics as a discipline that generative grammar operates in. We have known that it is possible to understand language without innateness. That is what linguists do. If you look at how linguists k
