As pointed out by other nearby comments, that is not the greenest choice (which is to not drive), nor even the second greenest choice (which is to replace your ICE with a refurbished Prius like your colleague), or even the third greenest ch

> All of this should happen prior to replacement... it actually has to "catch up" with your existing already made working ICE that has no new cost for construction That is precisely the sunk cost fallacy though: the principle i

I think that analysis might have the “sunk cost fallacy” assumption? Just because we already have the ICE doesn’t make it more efficient to keep using it, over immediately replacing it with something more efficient, as long as you then keep

UTF-8 has many similar problems with malformed sequences, such as overlong encodings. There is a similar scheme to this necessary if you want to handle arbitrary bytes as almost being UTF-8, instead of treating them as an inaccurate Latin-1

So you're saying having plumbing in the computer makes it not a computer? What about water-cooled gaming and HPC systems: are they computers?

There must be some difference, as otherwise my washing machine would be a computer too since it has a screen, input, and an operating system; and conversely that the Windows phone wouldn’t have had such a brief existence.

Usually planes are turned around too fast to be waiting for them to fully reboot every time they fuel. Typically they would prefer to keep them running for weeks at a time to minimize any issues or delays with extra steps when the clock is

Only if you only play 3 times though (in your previous example). Statistics also are about figuring out what sort of outliers must exist for a process to be fair (true random). For something like a mega lottery with terrible odds, then winn

This sounds to me more like an inlining problem than an ABI problem. If the calls take as much time than the running, perhaps you just need a better language that doesn’t arbitrarily prevent inlining due to compilation boundaries (eg. basic

The text of the law seems to be specific that the beer exemption (and other alcohol) is about a permission to put the vintage (year month, etc), since alcohol are expected to change over time even after bottling (some better some worse) so

My recollection of history is that the standardization of stdint.h happened long after the transition to 32 bit, and is only just finishing up becoming available on some major compilers after the transition to 64 bit is well behind us

Wait, is this blog actually about how to introduce a backdoor into your Postgres install by rolling your own very bad rng?

The article says they also valued them 10% higher, meaning they would have been willing to pay 10% more for something which gave them no actual additional value. (although I don't know if the conclusion that sleeping on it made them be

ASAN also checks for memory leaks like valgrind, the main difference with the tools is whether you can recompile all of libraries to get the compiler support for detection or whether binary instrumentation is better ( https://gith

My understanding had been that you get a double whammy of there being too many versions of the “common” dependencies, so it is already in-effect a per-site cache (or nearly so), but that uniqueness also means a fingerprint can be establishe

nodejs (via libuv) transparently switches from fork to pthread_spawn on Darwin when the options passed support it. The dup2/cloexec is a mess, but there are some Darwin-specific enhancements to work around it. There is work done to mak

If anything, shouldn’t that drive prices down, as landlords now know exactly how much to undercut their competitors to still make a profit but also get more rapid turnover? I thought microeconomic competitive market theory assumes that more

In microeconomic theory, it is still set by demand, except that they are capturing some of the rents, causing “dead weight loss” in the market as a whole (eg higher profits but less overall money changes hands). So there are still limits o

From Apple Watch, I learned I get 11 minutes of deep sleep last night, and generally average well under half an hour (for a full 8 hour typical). I can fall asleep easily, but apparently not very well. Yours sounds great.

Runtime syscall number detection is very common in practice, since the kernel returns ENOSYS to enable that exact ability for glibc and other shim libraries

Should the better fix then to have been to revert the bad commit with the malicious commit message, rather than just deleting the dot (as was done)?

It is likely because the bank doesn’t know what checkbooks you own and use, and has no way to know it. You could have ordered more third-party checks (legal, not fabricated), and if you do, commonly you would use a different sequence starti
