I have been incredibly skeptical of frequency numbers. Case in point, the AMD FX-9590 had a 4.7 GHz base an 5.0 GHz boost back in 2013 [0]; and the Ryzen 9 5950x has a 3.4 GHz base an 4.9 GHz boost [1]. To me, the frequency has become a &qu

Taking a look at the website the ID.4 is branded as "Voltswagen ID.4". Looks pretty serious to me. https://www.vw.com/en/models/id-4.html

I find it important because it lowers the barrier of entry to print debugging. I have found myself using less prints in Java than in Python both because of static typing and having to write the full `System.out.println`. This is also import

This is actually really cool. I was going to say that so many people miss the point of print debugging and as a consequence forget to shorten the import line as much as possible. from icecream import ic;ic() is 28 characters import q

The same thing happens all over Software really. Just because a tool is powerful is looked up as superior, or better. The main argument that I have seen is that in print debugging you are relying on the program being executed in a non-descr

I had never heard that phrase. Very insightful.

My professor thinks otherwise As for my personal opinion, I haven't reflected on it too much, but I think capacity implies a quantitative (edit: measurable may be a better word?) output, but not necessarily fungible.

To be fair to my professor, the question does make sense in the context of the subject. That is, the subject focuses on answering questions like: How much I am producing? How much could I produce? How do I measure that? Etc. The subject int

Just the other day I was in my logistics class and the professor started deviating into something that I believe was pure nonsense. He started the lecture by analyzing how many pieces a machine could manufacture per day. Fair enough. He ext

While I somewhat agree with the sentiment of your comment, one of the reasons I believe Hacker News is so civilized is because the arguments are always very rationalized. That is, it is easy to point out faulting logic. Following up with yo

To be fair, certain compilation flags can change the time complexity of some algorithms if the mistake is trivial enough to figure out.

Fixing bugs that reduce engagement is profitable. I am pretty confident this kind of bug has easily costed Rockstar in the order of 10-100 million dollars _per year_.

I see a huge potential in cryptocurrencies, just not in Bitcoin per se. I can totally see the European Central Bank controlling some kind of CryptoEuro that is tied to the real euro and allows individuals to make transactions without banks.

If you freed all those resources, you could equivalently reduce fossil fuel consumption (up to 0%, of course). So I say it matters very much.

My experience with mypy has been pretty negative. Not because mypy is bad per se, but it just doesn't flow into a Python workflow naturally. Every time you try to interact with an external module without these annotations you immediate
