The article here is fairly anemic, and left me wanting for a better description of the match instead of a poor rehash of the history of computers in Chess. This is more what I wanted from the article: https://en.chessbase.com&#x2

Yes, exactly: I'd deprecate it entirely. It shouldn't be a single flag.

I don't think it should exist at all. It's such a crazy grab bag of code changes disguised as "optimizations" that it's completely impossible to reason about, even for folks that "don't care" about t

I wholeheartedly disagree. -Ofast Disregard strict standards compliance. ... There's strict standards compliance and then there's the crazy grab bag of code changes that is `-ffast-math`. Further, I'd say g

If you're having trouble naming something, don't just name it `x` or `a` if this is something you're going to have to maintain. Instead, it's a red flag that your abstractions are wrong. It's often worth taking som

The hints definitely aren't manually chosen — they're just a word some distance closer to the target than you've gotten so far. And I wouldn't be surprised if the targets are randomly picked from the word2vec dataset, t

This is a silly take. The "true" cost of an employee is _always_ higher than their salary. Often by 50-100%. Your argument here is like saying the minimum wage needn't be increased because the "true" cost of an emp

There are both TA assistantships and research assistantships. As a graduate student researcher, your stipend "responsibilities" include research output.

Knowing adgjlsfhk1's work, yes, this would be for correctness — specifically measuring error in ULPs. Most frequently, adgjlsfhk1 pushes Julia's numeric routines to errors below 0.5 ULPs — that is, perfect correctly rounded behav

You can also use `julia --check-bounds=yes` — and our testing frameworks automatically do so.

I do think there's a particularly unique challenge to Julia in that so many packages can theoretically coexist and interoperate. While it quadratically increases the power of Julia, it also quadratically increases the surface area for

`eachindex` is — in quite a few situations — faster than `1:n`. We've also been trying to promote a culture of not blindly putting `@inbounds` notations on things as the compiler gets smarter. `@inbounds` is a hack around a dumb com

The most tragic thing here to me is that we're losing Yuri — who has been an invaluable contributor and bug-reporter for issues like these — and that Yuri got burned out instead of feeling empowered.

The reflector ensures that's not possible. There are 26 independent circuits that go from the key switch through the pegboard through the rotors and to the reflector. Pressing a key makes one of those 26 circuits hot. Now attach the

This is my MO for unknown numbers these days (which I only answer when I have a reasonable expectation of getting a call from a new contact). Automated systems will just disconnect when they think they got a dead line. Humans will go, &qu

Come hang out on our #gripes slack channel for a while; it's one of my favorite channels. But core folks also regularly discuss negative points on the discourse board, too. In my recent memory (like, past month or so?) that has inclu

That doesn't jive with the history in TFA — the Unicode name and location was inferred from the symbol itself without knowledge of its meaning.

I'm not convinced Bird is irrelevant, specifically because the city made a rather convoluted agreement with Bird to enable its use in the city. Use that is _known_ to be largely done outside of the terms of use and/or city law.

It is very major. There are only 3 roads that cross this (nearly 3 mile) ravine that cuts off a huge portion of the city's population: a local 2-lane neighborhood road, Forbes (this bridge), and the limited access interstate.

It's funny: becoming a parent made me FAR less judgmental of other parents.
