   I installed a brand new unit last month, I’m now the proud owner of 900kg equivalent CO2 on my roof. It’s 20 times less than before, but not nothing.

   Here (Grenoble, France), we have a bike highway (it’s a suburb-workplace interconnection), and it becomes a bit sketchy when the crushed leaves start glazing in the fall.

   It’s a bit complicated, those companies can’t really borrow money (because the bank can’t seize the capital and fire the management of things go south). A friend of mine had her coop buy its HQ, that means the workers/owners had to per

   Same for me, I'm watching the MIT OCW videos now that I'm 43, because I feel like it's the right moment to learn theory, to tie my experience together.

   I do, but I’m an independent software contractor, so sometimes I need to do windows stuff. It’s also useful to lend to house visitors.

   I would rather send fake PhDs to little guys who did great stuff in their garage. (Or maybe business fake PhDs to rich people if they increased their net worth?)

   I saw a graduation a few years back, and I had the same feeling, a financial backer got an honoris causa phd and made a speech.

   Doesn't one of the SV rich kids want to make the world a better place by building non-crappy printers? The only innovation would be to forbid anyone with a MBA from making any decision or suggestion at any level of the company. Normal

    I think there is already an entire Rube Goldberg machine like that in the kernel for spectre mitigation.

    Let’s even add some background story, you’re a guest on a zoom meeting talking about filing a patent, do you really want the discussion to end up in a language model that your competitors will use for their engineering meeting just because

    I see automatic translation of normal websites a lot too. I'm French and doing some home renovations, and according to google our houses are built in a way that is vastly different from my experience on the ground, and it's really

    thanks for pointing that out, I'll make sure to include it next time I write a new application.

    It's funny, as a non-english speaker, I see all this self feeding language model garbage every time I look for a translation. I had this exact problem when I searched the French word for "louver" on google a few minutes ago.

    One of the critics said that the pressure vessel is subject to fatigue and is not inspectable, so even testing the final article is not going to help. They are not facing small engineering issues, and didn’t seem well equipped to tacle hard

    There is a bit of a giant ominous nanny: insurance companies create a lot of the procedures that are practiced around us. And in a world of passing the buck, a lot of people want to insure their civil liabilities, so now our world is direct

    Weird coincidence, I interpolated my pivot in a binary search 3 days ago. (Didn’t improve things, my data is compressed, so only irregular stuff is in the array)

    I believe by having deeper inlining, unrolling and specialization in a JIT you can gain more performance than by static analysis. You squeeze more performance out of stupider algorithms.

    a weird detail is that javac seems to have crashed in the CI: https://github.com/vamsi-parasa/jdk/actions/runs/5125771268/... I really don't see why changing the JIT would influence the bytecod

    it's higly unlikely that they would do anything else than dropping it from a crane, which is not overseen by the FAA.

    by nraynaud 3y ago

    A bit of context is that the FAA doesn't want plane crashes at all (unless you're NASA), even "safe ones" because of the public image, so it's extremely difficult to get a waiver for a stunt if there is a real risk

    Well he had no choice, if you want to jump safely, you need some height, which is contradictory with trying to land the plane (it’s actually a bit of a problem for planes with a parachute basically you can’t try to save the plane) I don’t t

    I suspect that it’s worse than that, it’s somewhere in windows. So you’d probably have to start by hunting for a task then find the binaries associated and hope it’s not too high up in the OS mess.

    I'm pretty sure you can't get anything else than roll frequency out of this.

    I'm pretty sure they are tested again, in a real way, and that it starts with a static stability test before doing anything dynamic. Here is a video that explains a bit the endeavor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F93

    I wonder the same thing, no other industry moves such a big load in close quarter that fast. I suspect it's some kind of supersitious tradition more than any engineering reason.
