The rival's point of view is utterly irrelevant.

Their burden of proof has already been satisfied.

No, because you can't prove that it would spread slower among UNvaccinated people.

> Any state mandate must be enforced through violence or it has no effect. I don't see how that is really true. The state can, for example, refuse to provide you services if you're not vaccinated. If you're not allowed to

One interesting thing would be to know how much of the performance improvement in some of the compile tests is due to the high-bandwidth memory interface on the M1 chip. Since the M1 chip has both different cores AND a quintuple memory band

Surely it has a more generic name, then.

I've basically just said that, e.g., instead of the identifier EmployeeTheNumberThatIdentifiesATupleInARelation, you should really be using the identifier EmployeePrimaryKey. That is, you usually refer to things using the name of the

> Nobody who cares about performance is doing rendering on a CPU, it's all GPU accelerated. Has OSL already been ported to GPUs? You're implying that OSL users such as film studios "don't care about performance"

Surely this issue is already explained in introductory programming books. Or at least it used to be, from what I recall.

It would seem reasonable to me to use the latinized form of the Chinese word as part of the identifier instead of the awful descriptive identifier.

But if you don't live in an English-speaking country, then "what the creator called it" doesn't even matter. So for the vast majority of people this argument is irrelevant; you generally don't code-switch into Eng

The only one that comes to my mind is antivaxxers selecting themselves out of the population. Not sure if that's what GP has in mind.

Wouldn't a Raspberry Pi 4 be faster than the old Athlon box anyway? I know that "Reuse, reduce, recycle" is a thing, but still... Reusing an old Athlon for example certainly does not reduce the amount of electricity consumed.

Perhaps a userscript exists that fixes that? Or even a browser extension? Seems like a reasonable use case for these things.

That's exactly what SBCL does, for example.

But the "Use SSH or TLS" interpretation seems to make as much sense as saying "use a square or a yellow" regarding shapes. SSH is not (easily, anyway) a substitute for TLS where TLS is applicable.

At least systems were smaller then and much better documented, so the effort was at least well supported. Perhaps the quality is correlated with that since you weren't able to squeeze quantity into your work anyway, so your efforts ha

When I was 9 years old in Europe, I was walking to school almost two kilometers on my own. And since that age I've never been hauled to any school by my parents using any means of transportation.

Wasn't the idea behind this to make most code boring, and have only a small part of it exciting? Just like when structured programming was created, or even local variables introduced, etc. (Of course, the exciting part had to be move

Sciter currently isn't FLOSS, but you're free to use its dynamically loaded binary distributions.

Not quite sure how pointing out that similar symptoms are non-specific is "letting our imaginations run free". You can't really tell for sure.

It was an example, since obviously different uses of energy will have different improvement factors - but major uses of energy have considerable improvement factors. In case of heating, for example, the factor is theoretically infinite beca
