I dunno, I've read a lot of very well presented nonsense and some very useful insights that were barely readable. I think it's probably useful that people are being trained out of this bias (though of course that's in large p

I think whether it's negative sum or not matters quite a lot, really. The variability of the outcome is a thing that might create some addictive components, but it matters a lot whether it's something with positive effects with so

I mean, in general, the fact the git doesn't deal with large files well is not really a feature, even if it incidentally makes it a worse idea to check build artifacts into your repo.

Except in game dev where you want to version control your art assets as well.

A lot of this really seems to be pattern matching on superficial similarities when the meat of the issue is probably the more important one. I think for LLM usage to be compared to gambling, it has to be a) universally negative-sum in the l

Yeah, and how and what someone jokes about will often tell you something about what and how they think. I don't think they'll literally just ignore everything after that point, but I do expect that they are going to tend towards a

"race to the bottom" is also a response to a "market for lemons". It's not necessarily a good thing because while pricing drops to the floor so also does value to the customer in general. Usually it happens when pri

See, what you're saying makes some logical sense in a vacuum but it's so utterly unlike how any other website works that unless you take a huge amount of effort to explain this to people, gently , then it's not at all surp

You would probably have gotten a better response by explaining this before posting vague, dismissive comments around the subject. If your post in response to the first question was the one that's like 6 responses deep in the argument h

Well, a combination of that and understanding human psychology. For any of these common issues, SO usually had an answer of what you were supposed to do, but it was usually very counterintuitive.

by rcxdude 3mo ago
The barriers are far more understanding the very counterintuitive set of rules and expectations of the site than they were accumulating the points (though I don't think the decidedly odd set of things that require a certain reputation

Being able to edit answers isn't even a mod thing. In fact, for most of SO's life, it wasn't even a 'being logged in' thing (you could just edit an answer anonymously). How they wound up with a Q and A site where yo

It's not uncommon for me, while debugging, to find that someone has had the exact same problem as me, asked the question on stackoverflow, and that it has been closed a duplicate of a question which is only slightly related to it (and

I did, in fact, spend a bit of time trying to look this up, because as pointed out by other comments, it was not entirely clear what relationship this revocation (which is about inspecting built aircraft vs the design) had to do with the cr

Apple tried the damnedest at that during their intel era. Silicon gets exponentially leakier at higher temperatures, and that will outpace quadratic growth easily. (Electronics that works at 200C do exist, but they're not gonna meet a

more confusingly, it swaps direction between the wipe comparison and the side-by-side just below it!

I would assume the poster is asking for a more detailed explanation of the implied connection between this and the plane crashes.
410.
by rcxdude 3mo ago
The two are unrelated, though. The airworthiness certificate is focused on whether a particular plane is built according to the design. It doesn't say anything about the design. And the planes were still being certified, just by the FA

One piece of managment advice I've gotten is to be very careful about what ideas you're throwing out there, because people can very easily get the wrong idea about the priority, and this can get worse as multiple layers get involv

It is only feasible to do this if the whole of the codebase idea designed to allow it, and it's still going to blow up in odd ways of you don't have a way to describe lifetimes in your interfaces. The magic of rust's design i

Identifying the voice as fake is not the main defense against these scams, though. The main defence is recognising the situation and taking a step back to double-check. Primarily the scammers are trying to stop you from engaging your critic

A priority queue where the last thing to enter the queue is the highest priority is a stack, yes.

It's essentially blowback from the number-one security problem being out of date software with known vulnerabilities. It's also easy to measure without deeper knowledge of the system, so it gets focused on to the detriment of stra

The way to guarantee that is to pay one of those cybersecurity firms, that's basically their business. And the most effective strategy is to audit and review your dependencies and any updates to them. That probably constrains how many

The cooldowns effectively make the initial push into the package repository into a pre-publishing step. It's pretty much isomorphic with what you're suggesting.

A cat and mouse game at least raises the bar for the exploit. The status quo requires no attempt at obfuscation at all. It also makes it harder for such an exploit to turn into a worm, since developers have time to notice their credentials

Framerates beyond your display's refresh rate are not completely pointless, though a bit wasteful: they do mean that each frame as it is displayed shows a more up-to-date representation of the game state than if your framerate is match

You can hack things together pretty effectively in rust if you put your mind to it (so many things that bog people down in rust are due to focusing too hard on premature optimization of either performance or correctness), and the easier to
