FWIW I found it much easier to get a reservation at Crown Shy last minute compared to most nice restaurants in NYC, starred or not. Didn't even realize it was starred until after (probably a good thing so I don't set expectations

FWIW every NYC subway station already has service, which I think is the most important thing. Most London Underground stations don't have service, which is super annoying as a tourist ("uh oh I forgot to map my route in advance an

Am I understanding correctly that the Numpy one doesn't actually use Numpy to do the calculation, but just to store the data? If so that's a super disingenuous example. The speed of Numpy comes from being able to stay in C for the

It would not go through: you can only buy as many shares at once as other people are currently offering at that specified price, which would be negligible compared to the total amount of shares.

It's pretty nontrivial to buy a majority interest in any public company. It's not like you can just spend 1/2 the current market cap to acquire it, the price will shoot up drastically as soon as the market is aware of someone

Maybe we have different definitions of inputs and outputs, but all of those things seem like outputs to me? Maybe in this scenario the inputs and outputs are really the same set of variables so there isn't a huge distinction. The reaso

Yeah exactly. And sorry I wasn't trying to disprove the study or anything, just providing the name of one of the effects they're describing.

CUDA the language itself isn't necessarily the biggest obstacle for porting code, it's the usage of low level hardware features. You'd have to make a chip that's pretty dang close to Nvidia's before most hand-writte

Kinda disappointing that the spherical harmonic data is just totally thrown out. It's a pretty big factor in making gaussian splats look so good, and I'm sure there are interesting ways of compressing the data!

Additionally, all the existing lightning cables would not make good mouse cords because of their length, flexibility, and lack of strain relief. Apple chose not to allow people to keep a cable connected not just for the aesthetics but also

All texts were green for years before iMessage (and blue texts) existed, so I highly doubt it was picked to be ugly on purpose.

I have a Roku TV (it was free) that I've never connected to the internet. Even when starting it up with an Apple TV it'll still hang out on the Roku home screen for 5s before even starting the input change. It's pretty infu

I think a lot of Apple engineers would love to have more time to be able to fix bugs but for the most part they're all stretched pretty thin. Prioritizing fixing old bugs over developing new features isn't a call an IC can really

I sympathize: even filing radars internally at Apple gets much of the same treatment, albeit with the ability to see the state of the radar.

It's been illegal for insurance to use your DNA to discriminate against you or charge different costs since 2008 (see the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act). If that changes I'll regret having used 23andme, but so far I&#x

I've used this before for memcpy with arbitrary values that are likely to be one of a small set of known small sizes. Calling memcpy with an arbitrary value always has to call out to libc but a specific value can be inlined into a sing

Android apps could also do certificate pinning with the same effect though? In this case there isn't any difference between Android and iOS in functionality.

So, no proof then? Also, your implication that a company is performing illegal activity just because they're successful is rude and uncharitable at best.
