If our reality is built on top of a lattice, there’d be a fundamental coarseness to it, since there could be no details in our mock-universe smaller than the resolution of the simulation. I'm pretty sure I read an article about some

"There were 25,339 homicides in Mexico [in 2017], a 23% jump from 2016 and the highest number since at least 1997, the year the government began tracking the data." (CNN) Good to see that the Mexican government is focusing on what

You're the one that raised the metaphor, but okay And your response was absurd. You don't rebuild a transmission in order to run a shop. You don't even rebuild a transmission as an engineer creating cars, you shop that ou

Can you point me to a RISC architecture that doesn't have push and pop instructions?

I'm not going to play anymore metaphor/semantic games. It's nice that you did that project, but it's not at all necessary for someone to engage in that in order to understand performance issues.

I'd argue that you shouldn't be driving a car unless you've rebuilt a transmission yourself, but that argument wouldn't go far.

A computer does not need to implement a stack What general purpose computer exists that doesn't have a stack? Push/pop have been fundamental to all the architectures I've used.

Why not apply that logic to digital devices? They did, at least according to the article. But it's a low hurdle, and cops quickly figure out the script to bypass restrictions like that. It's no different than the mishandling of

By that logic, if you owned property that was rented by a murderer, you should be banned as an accessory to murder. It's absurd.

i guarentee that TSA is going to check for hidden partitions, patched kernels, suspiciously clean OS, etc. How would they hire enough manpower smart enough to do that?

I wonder what the overall adoption rates are for UWP. As someone who's written Windows software since the 90s, I can't shake the feeling that Microsoft just churns out completely new development stacks every few years.

Click the hamburger (3 vertical lines) in the top right corner of the screen I found it humorous that they simply call it 'the hamburger', and that they confused vertical with horizontal.

With regular inheritance, you affect behavior from the bottom up. With the "Curiously Recurring Template Pattern", you affect behavior from the bottom up and from the top down. To be honest, I don't know if it has value for

At Harbor Freight, every Indian-made tool I've used has been junk (wrenches). Every Chinese-made product has been acceptable to good. Every Taiwanese- and American-made (yes, they have a few!) product has been excellent. The chrome a

No it isn't. Harbor Freight is one of the only consumer-oriented tool sellers that's constantly and regularly improving their product lines. There are enough stores that it's handy for most, and their warranty returns are re

Tbh, the AP exam does not prepare one for programming at all That's why it's called the AP Computer Science exam rather than the AP Programming exam. any self respecting university should not accept credit for passing it. I

For example, from 2007 to 2017, the number of males taking the AP computer science test went up by a factor of 7, Are AP CS exams relevant now? I took both in the early 90s, then got to college only to find out that nobody accepted AP

Some of the worse problems I've seen have been created by software engineers who lacked empathy for their teammates, or even their future selves.

On the other hand imagine how much you would learn if you could spend all you gym and bike time learning computer science and other things You'd reach burnout extremely quickly. You'd literally go insane. Your body would break

I don't see how your response has any relation to what I wrote. It looks more like moving goalposts to me.

I was invited to a tent-covered block party in SF by a friend active in politics and the Asian-American scene. I was told that the party was being thrown by a Chinese family that owned something like 30% of SF property. I have no way of v

lots of government regulation of what people build and do on their property. That's an inevitable result of population density.
