In this case it's actually the other way around. There are good theoretical arguments that without junk DNA at least human reproduction would be quite difficult. The average number of mutations per human generation is known and most mu

Let's assume expectations scale with budget. The original cost estimate was $0.5B [1]. Now it's roughly at $10B. So there was a 20x cost increase. So if we assume original expectations it would need to exceed original expectations

At this price point it better be good. It has to make up for all the other astrophysics missions it killed with its (near) endless budget overruns.

It could be also more females reaching reproductive age. Traditionally a lot of kids died early before they could reach it. This was a traditional limiter on average life time.

They wait and wait and think and some point they realize how much the whole thing is going to cost. That makes them reevaluate priorities and they leave if they can. I bet things would be different if Health care had sane pricing. Would be

Reminds me of a speech rms gave about programmable editors. Money quote: " Multics Emacs proved to be a great success — programming new editing commands was so convenient that even the secretaries in his office started learning how to

Would have been nice if they had showed at least parts of the "slummy parts" of Rome (as they put it) where most people lived too.

Interesting table. So except for the burrito mix at $5+ (why is that so expensive) the salads are most expensive ($4+). Fries ($3+) are far more expensive than the burger buns (<$0.5)). Everything else is dirty cheap.

windbg has many powerful plugins, and some do automatic verification (or talk to tools that do so), so it can be a tool kit for verifiers like valgrind is.

4. My use case was: If you have a some what fuzzy parsing problem that is harder than a single regexpr and needs backtracing, and then generate a report from it. For these things TXR is great. If you want to do multi threading or best perfo

I've learned/used basic TXR some time ago. I had a text parsing problem that needed backtracing, and it seemed simpler to use TXR than to use implement this in python or perl. Basic TXR matching is really quite simple. Match some

This might be a stupid question, but how is the assisting crane finally disassembled? Is it a different type that doesn't need disassembling in the same way?

Sounds good to me. Essentially it ended up being an ethical investment. I hope Cerberus can use its "methods" on more gun makers.

Likely they will get a gigantic sea of trained deep learning weights that noone understands.

Yes that's the real solution to the problem. If you have to access something in lots of code, don't make it go away asynchronously. There are many techniques to archive that. Keeping objects around in an error state is one easy w

Most (all?) of the production usage probably doesn't enable the assert though.

One of my old professors had an interesting story about this. He had an management job at an larger European company and actually had a driver for his company car. He complained to his boss that he doesn't need a driver, he could drive

That's the positive spin. The negative spin would be: how to spend a lot of effort to solve a problem you would never have if you didn't use rust. Yes it makes great blogs but it doesn't necessarily make his programs better.

It is even worse in internet recipes. The authors tend to go on and on about their feelings, family and personal stories before finally getting to the point how to actually cook the dish. I usually have to skip several paragraphs.

The dogs can only outrun the human in arctic conditions, as the article mentions. In warmer weather the superior human cooling system wins longer term.

Don't we already have that to some degree in GNU C? gcc has an __attribute__((pure)) (not sure if it enforces it though) and there are C++ constexprs.

Is that a good thing? Instead of a single postgres this there will be a lot of subtle or very different variants, all needing completely different tuning, like it happened with MySQL. May well fragment the ecosystem significantly.
