Try-things have the benefit of accurately representing the thing you're describing. Leave it to the caller to decide whether to panic or resize the data structure or whatever. That's also not the only choice in the design space fo

I'll bite. How do you serve 100x the traffic without 100x the costs? It costs something like 1e-10 dollars to serve a recipe page with a few photos, for example. If you serve it 100x more times, how does that not scale up?

One thing I experimented with was writing a tag-based filesystem for that sort of thing. Imagine, e.g., using an entity component system and being able to choose a view that does a refactor across all entities or one that hones in on some c

I saw that, but I'm still not sure how this fits in: > The enemy has been trying to spin it as "AI bots DDoSing" but one wonders how much of that was their own doing... I'm reading that as `enemy == fingerprinters`, `

Hold up, one of those things is not like the other. Are we really blaming webmasters for 100x increases in costs from a huge wave of poorly written and maliciously aggressive bots?

I think the usual bearish sentiment comes from: 1. The marketing (even "research" papers) vastly overstates these systems' capabilities 2. We've observed unacceptable failure rates for the majority of useful tasks 3. Des

The proliferation of crawlers is part of the problem. They're also more aggressive and poorly behaved than typical search engines. Some issues: - They request every resource, vastly increasing costs compared to a normal crawler. - They

The ratios are way way way off. For pure citric acid and bicarb you want something like 45.7% citric acid by weight. Lemon juice is only around 3.9% citric acid, and lime juice is only around 3.7% by weight, so the desired proportions are a

Still buy your cheese in blocks and hand grate, but sodium citrate is better made at home for sauces I think. Titrate baking soda with a tart citrus juice (e.g., lime or lemon, whatever fits with the dish) over medium heat till incremental

The success rate is also likely pretty high. You're not necessarily restricted to just the entropy of a single password, but depending on the attack vector it can be conditioned on also knowing the account owner's identity or user

Anti-folates (similarly with magnesium and a few other things) are closer to chemotherapy than anything else. They promote cancers because they promote nearly every human cell, and the logic behind removing them is that since cancer cells d

That's not been tested much in the courts. Recent rulings suggest OSS at least has consideration and thus can't be blanket terminated without some justification, but the USC provides that justification (with some onerous requireme

Most launchers I see aren't necessary for any technical reason. Most don't even bother to enable any functionality at all to the end user's benefit. They're instead used to exert some form of control in a way that's

Funny, I'd rather have the break at the start or end of the emdash-implied break than just before or after it, not having to mentally handle some single dangling word divorced from its compatriots.

Alright, then quantum chemistry simulations. It's very common in the field to have algorithms with known error bounds given a certain floating point size and to choose a size amenable to the scale of simulation you intend to attempt. I

K-means is optimal for some problems, like in bolt quantization (and hierarchical initializations tend to converge quickly). It's not really applicable to TFA, since you'd choose the cluster count via metrics which have nothing to

There's no confusion between what a borrow checker and a GC do. The borrow checker enforces safety by adding constraints to the set of valid programs so that it can statically know where to alloc/dealloc, among other benefits. A G
