I thought the plane eas delivered with the plugs missing because a contractor failed to install them.

Robert Griesemer worked on V8 and Ken Thompson invented C. V8 is obviously not a language, but it is a massive project to make it as obscenely fast as it is and used in as many places, which should give Griesemer some credibility. I persona

Isn't that constantly happening? Every millisecond it's "deciding" what to do.

So the inventors and maintainers of V8 and C are very bad language designers? I don't like either of those languages but those are aome pretty strong words.

I wonder how constrained the code has to be to satisfy all those properties. Anyone had any experience using this?

As a guy who lives in the JVM most days and mostly ignores allocation optimizations, what are some examples of things that are actually newer features in such a project? Isn't allocation a mostly solved problem? Is something about WebA

The issue the parent is trying to solve is you don't really have fine grained enough control, or apps nag you and won't load until you give them everything they want. My mom has a cheap camera security app that allows me to see th

Just because they seem grossly underused, there are probably plenty of other non-ideal constraints like power usage for instance.

Or maybe the computer they had analyzing the data takes a while to search and it had nothing to do with people at all.

My friend found out the school he sysadmins for was using weak rfid card keys (despite the readers being smart enough to handle higher level encryption) and found he could clone his key and get in places. So basically he pen tested and then

I don't think that's charitable. They are stating that iOS enforcing the second browser to exist makes at least some space for the third to exist and preventing Chrome from completely taking over.

I'm not dying for them to record more than absolutely necessary, but I really hope all the voice ui engineers do log curses to know when their app is doing annoying stuff. The number of times these things screw up I definitely get real

Clojure is such a joy to use. I get the maturity of the Java ecosystem and the immutability, functional style, and concision of a lisp. If performance really matters, and Clojure does perform well, you can always dive into stuff with all th

How is that not an implementation detail? You can't really inspect the stack at runtime in a useful way. It's literally just performance and yeah you might run out of memory somewhere but that's true of every language detail,

I'm sorry you are so attached to implementation details but that hardly detracts from the general usability of a language. Clojure is hosted both on the JVM and JavaScript and is, all things considered, both usable and popular enough o

I recently blew the dust off my GameBoy and Tetris game, put some fresh AA batteries in, and it happily booted up and played like a champ even after decades. I wish any hardware or software written today would preserve so well, everything r

Pretty sure you can disable it in Firefox unless they removed this since last I checked.

AOSP has effectively been dead for a long time. You need Google Play services for almost everything now and more and more creeps into the proprietary portion.

I think I've seen something similar for computing fibinocci values by converting the sequence into a series of matrix multiplications which can then be done in parallel because they are commutative (?). Each mareix is 2x2 with 1 in 3 c

My understanding was that nearly every production vehicle on the road is 12V and that Tesla and perhaps Audi as you mentioned are doing things differently. Who is using 400-800V systems? That sounds extremely dangerous.

How would it become less secure? Because newer crypto algos aren't in the set allowed by FIPS?

You're missing the point, in this case they don't even need the warrant at all. And yes, it is because you would have to ask a judge for each and every person surveiled and then provide a reason. They wouldn't have any reason

I commented above but check out Luminus or Kit.
327.
by gleenn 3y ago
Luminus has been around a long time and Kit is newer. Most Clojurists believe in libraries over frameworks though so that's why you don't hear about web frameworks much. I've messed with Luminus a few times and it is really e

I thought the point was that the DB could reach into JSONB for you (potentially indexed as well) instead of having to deserialize outside. So the exact serialization isn't maybe as interesting as the direct queryability.

Brainfuck, while difficult to actually use, is very easy to implement. There is one array data structure of ints, and iirc 8 operators that work on the array. They either manipulate the current pointer to the array cell by either moving up

I wholeheartedly agree and also extend this to software I write. I try very hard to have booleans never be called e.g. disableFoo. It isn't always easy, but you glue enough logic together and then try to say it becomes very difficult.
