The calculus changes for someone like Musk, who is not a troll to a large fraction of the population. In that case, it's beneficial to post something like the GGP because it signals to other people two things: first, you're not al

Variable pricing is a HUGE industry in the US (and elsewhere). It's true for fees like this, and it's even more true for variable rate mortgages. Whoever owns your mortgage can add arbitrary fees to your mortgage at any time, and

In practice you need a global coordinate system. For example, you'd create a "spawn point" for all players, and then, before the game starts, move them to their starting positions at a fraction of c. The game is still keeping

This is super cool. I think it's funny how Quanta writes, "It is expected because JWST was built, in part, to find the ancient objects." "Ancient" is equivalent to "distant" because of special relativity.

I don't think this adds much. The important thing is that your logic runs in the database--how the logic is ultimately exposed is up to you. We did a java app server calling SPs over JDBC with generated, typed bindings and this worked

by javajosh 3y ago
True enough; the binding tool handled this. The system of record was in the app server. The db was considered slaved to the app, and more-or-less tightly coupled to it (within reason). This provides a really solid mental model. Side-note: t

I'll probably get down-voted for saying this (again), but a key way to squeeze unimaginable amounts of performance is to lean into stored procedures . Look, I get it, the devx sucks. And it feels proprietary, icky, COBOL-like experien

This is a very common architectural smell, when you have uservices and "no-one knows how they all work". The whole point is that no-one can or should know how they all work; the fact that someone does in order to fix or modify the

How are people supposed to produce videos that include other Youtube clips without a tool like this?

Once upon a time I wrote a feature request for the Chrome extension team to allow an extension to change the response code of a request. This would be a real boon to testers wanting to see the behavior of the browser under those conditions

Fun fact: did you know you can inline an image without base64 encoding it? Use svg you can inline the markup using a data url without base64 encoding. This is how I do my favicons at simpatico[0]: <link id="favicon" rel=&qu

Yeah I wasn't expecting real time control, but rather high-level objectives and alterations to the self-driving module. E.g. "hit the next pedestrian lol" or "swerve into oncoming traffic lmao". Chat wouldn't a

I won't be happy until I can stream my driving experience on Twitch, with the option to occasionally hand over control of my vehicle to chat.

Yep it's almost like Moore's Law in reverse.

It's odd but comments like yours would normally elicit something like anger, now elicit sadness. Why do you take this tone? Why do you willfully misunderstand my point? Why not take a charitable view? I'd be happy if even half of

It would be cool if there was a neighborhood watch but for projects and/or money. Like, a couple dozen people in the community who watch that specific money like a hawk, to make sure it benefits the community and moves along at a good

When these types of things are funded one always gets the sinking feeling that the money is just getting stolen and/or wasted by savvy insiders who know how to write grants or who know the right people. In fact, I think that's a r

You are very kind to explain this, and I now feel slightly guilty for making the joke (which is a bad pun).

If fake those researchers careers are over. Like, they'll have to go into programming or something. And they've also besmirched the good name of Korea, and their moms are going to beat the shit out of them for fucking up that bad.

I'm honestly a little jealous that you've managed to carve out a niche where you get to imagine and built insane/cool stuff. A dream come true! Congrats and great channel.

I guess I don't see the point in arguing that someone has the right to be offended. Of course they do. Everyone does. But is it a good thing? Isn't being offended a bad thing? Doesn't it feel bad to be offended, and doesn&#x2

Great post, as usual. Lots of good advice for me. However it makes me sad that she blocked people for defending the author's meaning of "dig". Ignoring seems like a better path. I've often heard grope used in a non-sex

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I think maybe my objection to MY curriculum was being handed a lot of mathematical tools which I didn't need, and so it was impossible for me to "slot them in" to my toolbox. Most named sol
