I think this too. My perception of the PS4 is it's just a PC in a box running FreeBSD (or something). I don't think there is any custom architecture at all. Much like a steam deck, which can already run some first party PS4 games

What happened to sourcegraph is very sad. It was a great tool, and the kind of software you wish the apache foundation was managing. I've been looking for alternatives - any recommendations?

Many Japanese vehicles are banned, especially light trucks, because they are too competitive. They are often banned for trumped up reasons, mostly to protect local competition.

Hi JJ and Mark, I'm a quant on an index desk at a hedge fund. I had a look around your app, it's interesting - I have a few comments, I'd be happy to share them if you hit me up at: reedf1@gmail.com

Someone has been independently "discovering" this every fortnight since I first heard the word Bitcoin. The answer will always always be, read the bitcoin whitepaper please... This is explicitly discussed.

Careful analysis must be taken to avoid falling victim to the look-elsewhere effect. It is easy to find any numerical relationship you want with motivated reasoning.

Salary should not be conflated with total comp. Picking the "hyperscale ultra-growth" startup is like winning the lottery, or investing in a donut shop that strikes oil. Working there comes with an implicit investment, survivorshi

And consumption of erythritol, xylitol, and other sugar alcohols (maltitol, mannitol, sorbitol...) goes completely unmonitored. It's important to note that in most products sugar was simply replaced by sweetener - not reduced. Are we o

The EU VAT directive is long misunderstood. Countries have extreme room for interpretation of the VAT rules. For example, Ireland beat the UK on making period products tax exempt by about 20 years, something supposedly disallowed by EU dire

You hold the implicit assumption that for something to be efficacious it must correlate with longevity. But it is possible for something to increase your day-to-day experience and quality of life without a meaningful affect on how long you

If this is presented at programmers, why not just say "Here is a cool practical case of a knapsack/bin packing problem."? The article seems to be intentionally avoiding this.

This is probably, given the sheer number of churches (of all saints) in Europe, the look-elsewhere effect. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look-elsewhere_effect

I am struggling to understand the advantages over the Lewis Carroll method, which I find very simple and quick. It seems to add quite a lot of complexity.

I considered a startup after university in the UK. The talent arbitrage is absurd, physics grads with 1sts from top Russell Group unis fighting to be paid £30k/yr. For me it came down to security, life is expensive, rent is expensive

Literally 5 seconds of investigation revealed that they offer three durations of membership, each a one off payment (the per month pricing is just a representative amortisation). This is actually so easy to discover, and so easy to understa

They might be dispassionate but they are not "neutral", neutrality is a position defined relative to two other positions and will always be a disputable ephemeral target. Even topic choice is an implied opinion.

I would think that you are implicitly stating your want to live by the fact you are alive. Also - would all that really move the needle? Surely the only way is 24/7 surveillance. Even then I'm sure there are remote methods of exec
