The HN post title is severely misleading. From the linked article: "There was a fault in the system which, when a female passenger checked in for the flight and used or was given the title ‘Miss’, caused the system checked

The discourse is that Play store and App store are monopolies (arguably duopolies) facing the developers, not the users. I expect that developers for the Play store and App store are two sets with a big overlap

It would maybe help if the parkers would compete during these two weeks. This prices from the registrar would be higher and only domains with less speculative value would go into parking. Still makes it a sleazy activity IMO.

In signal processing on constrained domains (constrained including the lack of an FPU), the usual alternative to floating point is "fixed point" arithmethic. Basically you use the platform's native types (e.g. uint32) and dec

On the other hand, for more traditional companies, covid and expectations of post-covid mean replacing 100% office time with a mix of office and home time. In these cases this mix means more mobility, so more value to laptops over desktops.

I have no info, speculating: could it be to reuse the existing programmer's knowledge and code corpus when porting Unix from PDP-11 to x86 machines? This is assuming that AT&T valued similarity with existing Unix assembly codebases

I am surprised why anyone is discussing who signed first, given that in the contract AstraZeneca warrants that: "it is not under any obligation, contractual or otherwise, to any Person or third party in respect of the Initial Europe D

The article explains several other effects to wildlife that you are skipping over. Namely, disruption to coastal food chain by melting freshwater, and the longer round trip for penguins feeding their chicks. > Surely, penguins can deal w

I really don't think this is about a tradeoff between time and reliability. Other developed countries have, for decades, reliably given results within hours of polls closing, without "automation or obscure technology". Time t

The general concern with IQ when used for policymaking, or with standardized "intelligence" tests in general, is that they can fail to account for environmental or cultural factors across individuals or populations. In both case

I would love to see that happen. But it will also depend on the outcome of Oracle v. Google regarding the copyrightability of APIs

This. The HN title is editorialized to the point of stating nearly the opposite of the paper's conclusions.

From my time in the industry, AGL is not even close to considering targeting Engine Control Units. The primary target is infotainment systems. At the time I never heard anyone - not infotainment guys, not ECU, not the Linux geeks - seriousl

Well, if I were buying an ad I guess I would pay more to reach 10 people one time, rather than 1 person 10 times. It would increase my chances of getting a receptive customer.

Seeing that Plausible Analytics is not using cookies and instead hashes fields including IP address - the measure of "unique site visitors" could be a proxy for false uniques by Plausible Analytics. For example, an user visits o

I disagree, I was on Podcast Addict and then moved to Pocket Casts and did not look back. Podcast Addict's UI was a bit too full for the simple use I do of podcasts.

That is my exact habit now - DDG for the easy/lazy stuff, google for more obscure. I'm still giving them some search info to profile me, but hopefully it's skewed enough that it's value is lower. And I'm definitely

Maybe you want to functionally validate your task in the SW environment that you can take with you.

Great article. I have recently been looking at the state of Clang on Windows, though not so much from a performance perspective. > Microsoft have announced that a full integration of Clang into the MSBuild framework will be coming soon.

That stuff is great. Once in an embedded SW shop I received some prototypes routed like that. It was unexpected! I couldn't stop smirking and showing it off to everyone around :)

In broad terms, performing music is much more sensitive to latency than A/V playback is. Think of it like playback vs a phone call. If you have 0.5s gap between audio and video, you hardly notice. But the same latency in a phone call m

Beyond zig as a language, these release notes are a treat for anyone interested in toolchains and environments for system languages. - "zig is also a C compiler" . Flag-compatible with clang, and with integration with zig's b

Indeed. The instruction latency tables in particular [1] are great as a quick reference when considering the cost of each instruction. [1] https://www.agner.org/optimize/instruction_tables.pdf

I used discord for the first time two days ago and I missed exactly this. As a comparison point, I think it is Skype that friends you to a test bot who replies things to you. This would have saved me some awkwardness when joining the group.

They did show me a banner asking me to accept cookies and offering a management panel - where I turned all but the "necessary" identifiers off. I thought this was GDPR compliant, enlighten me I I'm wrong.

I have been using Phabricator for the past couple of years, mainly for code review. I would point out the very wide feature set for a development team, beyond code hosting and review. A couple of times I was thinking " we should set up
