I previously researched that USA does not allow private citizens to operate their own nuclear power plants. Why doesn't Amazon lobby against this law, and then build their own energy generation to offset their carbon footprint and redu

My company gets sensor data from millions of devices and records. Happens all day, all around the word. It adds up. If you don't delete that data, it becomes petabytes. Thanks god GDPR et al exist so we have a good excuse to "need

Although you mentioned the word "nuance" in your comments, I don't find your world view particularly nuanced, especially since it's an extremely common one (in US culture I'm aware of it's the standard world vi

There is no conversation we can have if all you say will be "you'll learn with age" especially without knowing other commenters age. You sound nothing other than like a religious zealot.

First, very condescending to assume a certain wisdom comes with age. Downvoted just for that. I think you're completely wrong, especially about 1. Human nature doesn't shape our technological reality, it is becoming more and more

Risk: happened literally once, we have all kinds of engineering knowledge how to prevent it. Reward: energy that doesn't destroy the planet.

This is a good thing. The way I see the more EU states take attention away from Russia and especially China the better it is for the world. Well, I'm biased but as an American I think US has been nothing but utter farce last few years

You cannot reduce the perceived value of the codebase in most cases since the value is already communicated with the customer, there might even be contracts, and SLAs.

With enough work, anything a human does can be automated. Unless you believe human brain does something non-computable (like e.g. Godel), which makes you a dualist which comes with its own philosophical baggage (how do different types of on

From the linked github code: /* Intel actually recommends calling CPUID to serialize the execution flow and reduce variance in measurement due to out-of-order execution. We don't do that here yet. see §3.

I guess I still have no idea how come this falls into customs (what is being imported exported here? The domain?), but I can accept it as a fact.

Can someone explain me why ICE has the power to enforce intellectual property laws on the internet? What does this have to do with immigration enforcement? Can ICE enforce other seemingly irrelevant laws? E.g. can ICE bust e.g. drug users,

I understand that this is not one such case, I was merely pointing out that that's a possibility when it comes to bat rabies cases.

by gnulinux 5y ago
They may not necessarily know that they're bitten by a bat. It's unlikely but definitely possible and there have been such cases in the US before.

Precompiling C headers is almost never useful. It gives essentially no benefit (since compiling most C headers is fast) with more binaries to worry about. I only bother to do it for especially slow libraries in C++.

If you want to carry messages across the internet SQS et al is fine. But within the same system, e.g. in the same computer, or cluster, it makes much more sense to use something like this rather than something like SQS. Different tool, diff

Anecdotal: I find pair programming great for my productivity, and I'm generally a shy/reserved person. Making things explicit by talking them out loud makes programming way safer imho. I almost never solo program if it's a li
