I'm not completely sure that you aren't joking. Maybe for a mathematician the latter would be "very readable"?

It's well-designed as a means of exchanging viruses with all the other users. At least its purpose is clear, so I can avoid it when I see it.

Software too, unless every small piece of it has a dedicated full-time maintainer. If there's an infinite stream of tasks incoming, why go improve something that fits the current use well?

Declaring the types manually ensures that you don’t change the interface by accident. If I start using an attribute of an argument that wasn’t required before, I’ll get an error from the linter that will prevent me from breaking user code.

What exactly is wrong with Callable though? The argument and return types can be structural types. It doesn’t really make the function less powerful if you only constrain the input to have the exact interface you need, and nothing more.

When PyTorch fails to load the CUDA runtime for any reason, it falls back to CPU, often silently, and becomes more than 20 times slower on CNN inference. Not sure if this system could avoid it. Debugging that remotely on a user’s system was

If you have 0.01% failure rate and sell a million devices, that’s a hundred expected failures. Some of these buyers will want to blame someone, so they’ll go on Amazon telling everyone that their study with a sample size of one shows how in

The sentence you're answering was about security. I don't think "fixing vulnerabilities faster" is something Flatpaks were created to solve. It was more of a solution to dependency hell, that makes vulnerabilities harder

I have an M1 MacBook Air and the Open/Save dialog opens in less than a second. I think your system has a defect.

How does it become profitable though? Maybe Musk can fund it as a very expensive pet project, but if the Mars base doesn't produce anything that can't be gotten more cheaply closer to Earth, the money must run out at some point.

Thank you!

Okay thanks. That's on me for being too impatient I guess.

So I was excited about Project Hail Mary and went to the Wikipedia page [1]. Can someone who has read the book tell me if the current intro is a spoiler, or something we learn in the book's first third? ("He gradually remembers th

French intelligence agencies pushed some domestic legislation to let "black boxes" (the media's word) designed by them have access to telecom networks a few years ago. I think it passed.

Yeah but how can I merge all the breakages into one commit, so I can break the most things for my users? I couldn't even do that without merge.

Who suspects Matthew Green of being an "NSA mouth", and why? He's constantly advocating for more privacy and stronger crypto in software.

How else could we take two diverging branches and mix them back into one?

Definitely, it only disables the client-visible effects of tracking. But I don't think one can avoid the hidden part by watching without a Google account either.

The UX sucks on iPhone though. The page fits on my screen, but can still somehow scroll horizontally into blank space, so I have to go out of my way to keep it well-placed. The address bar doesn't disappear when scrolling because of so

Hacking the closed-circuit cameras probably only works in a James Bond movie, since all you have to do is keep that circuit air-gapped to prevent it. I imagine that physical access to the cameras' control system is also guarded.

Out of all western countries, who would chose a Scandinavian one to qualify as a dystopia? They probably have among the highest standards of living in all of Europe. That sounds like the same prejudices the OP said westerners have.

AMP reddit's only useful feature is the button that links to the non-AMP page. It's so useless, you can't read more than the first two comments on it, you get sent to the normal version if you expand. Why does it even exist?

Why in hell are there things called "bail" and "time served" that apply to mental treatment? Do they think it's some kind of crime that has to be punished?

It will be expensive no matter who does it. Probably more for a contractor, given that they’d have less experience and internal knowledge of the hardware.
