To me message passing is like it's own thing. It's the most natural way of thinking about information flow in a system consisting of physically separated parts.

Self driving cars will make it much more viable to use cars for last mile on either side of a public transport trip.

Isn't it the other way around? An unsafe block must respect niches.

I haven't made up my thinking about this yet. I think first there is the principal question. Is a library deleting content always a violation of free speech? And I think the answer to that question is no. A library comes with an expect

As a citizen, your best bet is to educate yourself cultivate good judgment and speak the truth so you get the respect and trust of your circle. So that even people that disagree with you still take your opinion seriously. And realize that p

I unironically agree with that idea.

If you are not building AI into your workflows right now you are falling behind those that do. It's real, it's here to stay and it's only getting better.

For all it's many faults, even C++ fstreams is not vulnerable to double freeing (and as a partial reply to @Galanwe, they way they avoid issues is runtime checking).

It's much easier to reason about a child process sending you possibly corrupt objects over a pipe, compared to a child process possibly corrupting shared memory as you are reading it. I've read enough about processor level memory

I could totally believe that it would be good for our health if we could somehow eliminate the radiation background (but it's clearly not feasible).

Dynamically switch algorithms between one that is faster but has more register pressure and a slower one with less pressure. Lowering numerical precision might be on the table too.

Dexterous robots do already exist. But there are many tasks they have not been taught to do yet, clearly.

Installing air filters is an intervention that has a cost and thus needs to be verified and proven. You don't roll such a thing out on a broad scale based on "the effect could be large".

Agree on Finalizers being crap. Do x with resources is shit too though because I don't want indentation hell. Well I guess you could solve it by introducing a do-x-with variant that doesn't open a new block but rather attaches to

I was gonna reply to this earlier but forgot. I think there is a difference between a theory of ongoing dynamics and laws compared to a theory about what happened once upon a time. The former is easier and more valuable. But the latter ha

I saw this comment a day ago but it only clicked today. The way we tell it's AI is the use of too formal grammar. I think that means they now pass the Turing test. Or at most a hair's breadth from passing.

Your war rhetoric is false and dangerous, because if we are at war, then acts of war against them are justified. Should we bomb them because they work too long hours?

push pop is faster though

by im3w1l 2y ago
In this code past uses push/pop and future uses shift/unshift. But they can both use push/pop.

The system could go haywire and crash in such unexpected circumstances. They might also not. It's hard to know how they will behave.

How certainly do we actually know that? If the evidence you claim is that there are no Y-chromosomes from other hominids, an alternative explanation could be that hybrids with Y-chromosomes from other hominids did exist, but disappeared gra

An advertisement is only spam if it's unsolicited. If you forget to uncheck the box "yes send me promotional offers and deals" when signing up it's not spam according to that definition.

I sort of imagine (but I'm not experienced enough to actually state) that you could create a negative specification. Something like: this program will certainly not open the file flag.txt This doesn't guarantee the program is co

Just because we struggle to verbalize something, doesn't mean that it cannot be verbalized. The taste of a specific dish can be broken down into its components. The basic tastes: how sweet, sour, salty, bitter and savory it is. The s
