I have a problem on the brand new Mac (2 different ones, after getting a replacement) where USB A devices stop working every few hours and don't work until a reboot. I've tried 4 different USB hubs including Apple's own USB-C

Instrumentation is huge too... I had a bug with the webcam on my Razer Blade which I was able to fix on Linux because it was open-source. It was a pretty simple patch and I submitted it as a patch to Linux. I had a bug with USB devices on m

The landing page looks good. The UI screenshots are a little small and hard to read on my screen, but overall, the design is great. You might also want to consider explicitly stating the value proposition: how will I save money/time&#x

So, voting power is the best way to counterbalance the downsides of living in a small state? I'd understand if someone proposed, for example, increased federal aid for smaller states that don't have as many support systems, but vo

Why do those who live in smaller states deserve more voting power than those who live in larger states?

It was intended to be a representative democracy. It is not representative because it assigns unequal voting power to constituents based on what state they live in.

Somewhat off-topic, but it's funny you mention Iran contra and not Operation Ajax [1] where the CIA literally distributed propaganda and overthrew the Iranian government. This lead to huge stability in Iran and the middle-east and argu

Honest question: what's the difference between storing dependencies in the executable (statically) and storing them in the Docker image?

I don't think that's true. This is a true supply shock. Nothing fundamentally changed except that there is a "short-term" (1-2 years) issue of workers not being able to work and consumers not being able to get a job. In

More importantly, pandemics are correlated risks, so the insurance company is not reducing any risk by insuring against it. If they did, everyone's insurance rates would go way up after a pandemic in about the same amount as they would

Isn't it because the compiled code makes some assumptions about the types of the arguments? So if the types of the arguments change, it would need to downgrade to interpreted code?

I've seen this argument by investors, but what's going to change? The virus isn't going to magically get better overnight one day. It doesn't expire. This is either going to be EXTREMELY bad in the short run or very bad

It depends on the time-frame you plan to invest. If it's a short time frame, investing in individual stocks can be OK. There's just so many variables that go into the price that something that causes the stock to go up/down 2

Investing in an index fund consistently gives returns of about 5-10% a year. This turns out to be a LOT of money in the long run (1.1 ^ 30 = 20x). Trying to time the market is a bad idea. Picking individual stocks is a bad idea. This is ass

Front-end performance optimization is surprisingly lacking when it comes to web apps. We focus so much on shaving off 50 ms when it comes to server response time, but we're fine with a 7 second load time for front-end. It's very s
