My first guess was debouncing. They assume that the switches are worn out, deeply weathered, and cheaply made. Each press will cause the signal to oscillate and they're taking their sweet time to register it. When the device is new t

Yeah. Just like another engineer. When you tell another engineer to build you a feature, it's improbable they'll do it they way that you consider "right." This sounds a lot like the old arguments around using compile

I don't understand this comparison. An EV's battery cooling system is a cooling system. Regen braking isn't more complicated than an alternator. The rest, yeah. The chemical stacks in the batteries are expensive, and deale

Yet the largest codebases I know of are either C, Fortran, or C++. Who's doing anything really big (in terms of LOC) in another language?

Go was made because Rob Pike didn't want to do Java.

No they won't. DoD is small compared to the rest of the software market. You get better quality and lower cost with COTS than with custom solutions, unless you spend a crap ton . The labor market for software's no different.

I always interpreted that as cosmetics are OK because it doesn't make the game unfair. You can't buy advancement in the game that way. Subsidizing the game's devel/ops cost isn't a bad thing. Especially if it&#x27

Slowly getting their stuff independent of wintel gives a lot of flexibility. And the big gaming market's on phones / tablets. A steam controller could find itself paired to an iPad running steam in a year or two.

Microsoft's a competitor. And they have a reputation for being the first ally to stab you in the back (e.g. SGI / DirectX). You don't want to depend or trust them when they like the market you're in.

The way for the community to fight this is to keep finding holes in the app until they stop trying to put one on.

Yeah this is the wrong audience for this argument, but it has merit. An app like this can be both a massive government power grab and useful to protect many, many people who are vulnerable to fraud. The number of my relatives that will

My guess is that investors expect AI to automate manufacturing, and are waiting to see where that tech goes before spending a ton of capital on soon-to-be-obsolete machinery.

Call me stupid for asking, but what is "safe" here? I get the length-checked buffer copies and accesses, is there anything else? Less allowed type conversions?

Your eyes can skip around and read a lot faster. Most things I read have me skipping around quite a bit. The only time I'm straight-linear with reading is in fiction, and for that I've moved to audiobooks.

I had a fold 3, and now a fold 6. The screen protectors are easily replaceable yourself. It's the only weakness on the phone I've found, and a cheap ($17ish) wear item. The replacement ones I get feel much nicer and thicker tha

Hard disagree. We'll be able to use more expressive languages with better LLM support for understanding how to express ourselves and to understand compiler results. LLMs are only good at stuff that better languages don't require

I remember TLMs being considered a bad idea in 2010. Looks like the pendulum took a full swing in the mean time.

How many cycles does the ebike battery go through in 200k+ miles? An EV car does ~300 miles/cycle. So 200k miles = 667 cycles.

I wonder if advancing robotic tech can help in the disassembly/reassembly process. Stuff that isn't cost effective right now (e.g. removing drywall sheets for reuse) could be replaced with things that are cost effective when it&#

They required unreasonable things from the compiler for instruction scheduling.

I think a better one would be the average compute cost for xbow per exploit found, if you're interested in the shift in security economics this represents.

The model Y was the best selling car in the world last year: https://www.statista.com/statistics/239229/most-sold-car-mod... That's a lot of flaunters.

The software tool takes a higher-level input to produce the executable. I'm waiting for LLMs to integrate directly into programming languages. The discussions sound a bit like the early days of when compilers started coming out, and pe

Culturally, I think C++ has a policy of "there's no single right answer." Which leads to there being no wrong answers. We just need more answers so everyone's happy. Which is worse.

I'll wager the ones that do the poorest job in removing pathogens are also the most power and water efficient. Trade-offs matter.

Gas stations generally break even on gas due to high local competition. They'll try to profit from a service center or a shop.

Agreed. Anyone who's tried Azure non-trivially knows why to use GCP.
