Why would that cause a surge of users given how trivial it is to add it to an existing install today?

Consequences are in line with what happened, not the least charitable possibility of what that class of error can be. Google absolutely has the technical ability to auto-update my phone to send deepfaked porn of me to all my contacts, but i

This really depends on your development style and experience, but not in general, no.

It's a local maxima, but it prohibits maximally readable code. I just don't think it's a big win, but I've found it's a hard rhetorical battle to fight. Everyone's more cynically fearful of ugly code rather tha

Hi! We at Mozilla certainly don't see that! I'm at 815 tabs in this window alone and switching is instantaneous. Did you happen to file a bug report about this atypical behavior?

We can eat some inflation, and it's worth remembering that the developed world has trouble with underinflation these days, so adding inflation isn't a negative in the short term.

That is not what UBI proponents are really simultaneously suggesting.

Yeah that's flour's perennial problem, and 15% is enough to really throw a bake off. Avoid any baking recipe that doesn't have a nice round number for grams of flour, and even then be suspicious. (baker's percents are al

Not at high speeds! Or at least, not in a way that's unique to electric motors. ICEs use multiple gears, but it's a similar overall torque picture. (Try multiplying out ICE torque with its gear ratios some time!) Torque is k*HP&#x

While you have every right to think someone's shoes are bad, you are not always free to express this thought carelessly with no regard for others. In more common words, you're free to express your opinion, but you're abso

There's a great guideline: Always be at least two of: kind, necessary, or true. Publishing Scott's legal name is truthful, but neither necessary nor kind.

I imagine this is reactive, since they can't proactively moderate their content. When they do get around to moderating (like checking reported comments), they can then penalize people who promoted the unacceptable content. I think ther

FWIW Firefox issues a warning if it finds your charset declaration late, outside the 1024. Long copyright or license headers can cause this problem, annoyingly.

Wow, no, following orders for a paycheck isn't acceptable. I think most of us felt that was definitively decided at Nuremberg. There are many other ways to get a paycheck that don't involve, well, all that we keep seeing on the ne

Many of these feel like throwing the baby out with the bathwater, where, out of fear of misuse, tools are thrown away. For example, while `std::string` does have issues, number of allocations more indicative of poor usage than an issue with

Since there clearly aren't penalties for corruption (even corruption-lite like this), it's no surprise that it persists. While we can understand why they do it, that does not make it acceptable, and there have to start being conse

Don't strawman. We literally have agencies that enforce degrees of truthfulness today, such as the FDA, FCC, and FTC. Our legal system is explicitly designed around determining degrees of truth in the courts.

I don't think most people want AMD to win completely, as no one expects Intel to ever fold. Also historically, Intel has been much scummier, and it's paid off for them. When AMD was previously top dog (most recently with Athlon64)

Most people don't buy new processors every year, and pre-built machines (especially laptops) are slower to switch from Intel. Slow adaptation is part product lifecycle (laptop lead time is on the order of a year) and part customer dema

It can't be done, because that's not how viral memes work. Facts are boring and require nuance. Things go viral because they're outrageous, surprising, or (my favorite) wrong enough that people make responses, which in turn a

What are you doing that needs such a wide CPU and beefy GPU? That's a real narrow niche between GPU-heavy gaming laptops, and cheaper many-cored desktops. I would love a 4900 with no dGPU, myself. (wide-CPU compile workloads) The iGP

I think this is a notation and definition problem. To me, it behaves differently in `Y = 1 / X`, which distinguishes quite strongly between `X = 1 - 0.9999` and `X = 0.9999 - 1`! If 0.9999 ought be exactly equivalent to 1.0, there oug

Those are great questions that not every system is required to address in the same way. (In a similar vein, +0 != -0 in Java) This is breakdown in notation and/or convention. There is no ground truth, just what's true within the s
