Was this anything more than just grading to a curve? Because yes, that has its ups and downs, but it's certainly not mysterious in any way.

The one I've heard most about in Java is single-implementation devirtualization. Since Java loads dynamically at the class level, it knows exactly which implementations of an interface or class hierarchy are in use. It has to maintai

It's a common carve out in most states to allow immediate access for "emergency access", which is why everyone in the thread is discussing exactly that.

I'd like to note that the article makes no claim regarding whether the tax cut saved households money. Rather, we now have the numbers that show a huge swing towards households owing taxes at the end of the year. That says nothing ab

There's two possible interpretations here. The implication of "shadows travel faster than light" is that information about the lack of light is faster. This interpretation is false. In your thought experiment, the informat

Is there an example of a type that has an equivalence operation but cannot have a hash operation? Seems to me that those two are identical. If you have a subset of elements within a type that defines identity, then you can hash that ident

They're not just training the model to make pictures from nothing. They're training the model to make pictures from an input. So I assume they're simulating what an input would look like of, say, a planet or astroid or ele

This is actually a huge lever of control for the federal government, and I think has contributed greatly to increase of federal power over the states. The reason being that states can tap into that large federal stream... If they meet

I think most games have orthogonal twitch and strategy components. All games of course have some strategy -- even decided games like Checkers have the optimal strategy, along side unoptimal ones. There are "action" games (high tw

Sadly, I don't. This breaks a few sites terribly, as I end up with random characters instead of whatever the "awesome" icon was supposed to be. Usually it's obvious enough from context what the icon should have been, a

They are marginal, but the margins depend on your entire income, not just capital gains income. So people with small amounts of capital gains income will tend to just fall into one bracket, and it will not necessarily be the 0% bracket. H

Honestly, it sounds like there just needs to be some higher discipline here around what the different log levels mean. ERROR should only be used if your system failed to service a request. Any other errors are WARN. Then you tell the sys

This is roughly how Java works with anonymous types closing over variables also. That's why the variables must be declared `final`. It just copies the local values over into the anonymous type and calls it a day. Of course, since th

You use eventing only when eventual consistency is acceptable. In your scenario, it sounds like it is not. So then you should use synchronous communication to ensure the expected experience is met. However, that also means that now you can&

Just a minor quip about the NoEstimates thing. I have zero illusions that some people adopt it exactly as you state. However, AFAIK the original idea was to use metrics and modeling to eliminate the need for a human to make up an estimate

So every OpenID provider has issued millions of dollars in tokens? No, of course not. All the tokens allow is offline generation of secrets. But if you don't need offline generation, then you don't need expensive tokens. I specifi

Please see my response here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19341688 If the secret sauce is key rotation, then the best strategy is to rotate for every use. Building that strategy into the system basically results in

If rotation is the secret sauce, then the best strategy is to rotate after every use. In which case, why not just build that into the system: 1. Client holds key. 2. Client exchanges key with central agency for token. Token expires after a
