Scully was always wrong, though. Is that really who people wanted to become?

Yes, and "well-formed" consists entirely of text on both sides of an @. Do no further validation.

That's fair with regards to your statement, but "doubled112" assigned the agency to Microsoft, saying that "Microsoft bounces" their traffic, which is demonstrably not what is happening.

Provocation: pull requests were always the worst way to do it.

Dennard scaling hit a wall but Moore's Law did not. Worth considering why. One of these is physical and the other is economic.

Nobody voted for it, that's true. But since reality held closely to it for decades right up to the present, it's reasonable to believe that transistors get smaller and cheaper as time passes.

That is what Moore's Law said.

Incorrect. A bounce is a delivery status notification generated by a mailer after it has already accepted a message for delivery. A 5xx permanent error is a refusal to accept the message in the first place.

I would simply like to point out that 550 at SMTP time is not a bounce.

What fun is that? It used to be fun to `net send` little notes to strangers in hotels.

I can't help myself digging into the referenced source code. The membarrier syscall can fail to allocate, returning ENOMEM. The way Folly calls it, the program would abort. Which I guess is a fair strategy but it's good to know wh

Nothing in this slop means anything particularly, but this detail is extra-wrong considering the variety of processors that the inventor says he used to create this algorithm.

A 2-year-old Mac Studio 128GB also sells for more.

Yeah I used it as well, in fact I kept using it pretty much forever because I had a comfortable VMWare image with all my apps installed and wiping out your Windows system back to a known-good checkpoint is the only reasonable way to use Win

Win9X wasn't Win2k's ancestor. Win2k was from the house of Windows NT. WinXP was the merger of the two lines. Probably very few people switched from Windows 98 to Windows 2000. That wasn't considered an upgrade path. That was

I don't know why people fall for this stuff. It doesn't make any kind of sense. You put the panels in a rectangular array in any convenient place. That's what wires are for.

Staff SWE Bench: LLM doubts whether we should do any of this, calls the entire project into question, refuses to merge code, but is happy to delete it.

Exactly. The procedure is to read the description of the change to understand its motivation, goals, and overall design. Then you read the tests, checking whether they are compatible with and cover all aspects of what was described. Then yo

Yes, I am 100% in favor of that.

Given that this happens on the main loop, one wonders how this escaped release quality checks. Is there another contributing cause that narrows the impact?

No, that's ridiculous. The number plate on a car is explicitly designed to be read from a great distance, to achieve public policy goals that offset the large and many social costs of cars. The function of the license plate is to ident

99.99% of Americans have freely chosen to do this exact thing, so any concerns about this must be imaginary.

That's too generous. It is a propaganda piece by the driver lobby using a hypothetical, fabricated privacy argument to further the central driver lobby goal of total impunity.

People who pass through red signals need a night or two in jail, not enhanced privacy protections.

1MW charging is a cute stunt but the economics simply do not make sense. The amount of copper and equipment to support that rate is ridiculous.

A scant 6,393 pounds, empty. California needs to outlaw this bullshit immediately.

Yes but, again for clarification, for the specific infraction that is obstruction of justice there has to have been some possibility that the action taken or intended could have or did actually obstruct justice. There government must prove

Yes, absolutely. This memo implies that with the same measures they could have saved 80% of the amount, regardless of the rate change. If that is significant they should have done this long ago.
