As explained in the piece, the law does not consider the act stealing but voluntary parting , making it a civil matter. The author did go to the police and their insurance company, and both said the same thing. I think this issue kills K

I've thought this way for a while. Once (if) we start feeling the diminishing returns in transistor scaling, there will be more incentive in the computer architecture side to experiment with the relatively fixed transistor budget that

This is worth stressing: such regulations often exist to prevent fraud from outright scammers. If such a regulation did not exist, I am confident there would be institutions that called themselves a "bank" but met none of the basi

I refer to them because their arguments make sense to me - they seem measured and nuanced. I've encountered a lot of pseudo-science, and this has none of the hallmarks that I associate with it. The argument is not that renewables are b

Your rationale does not address the core argument of the piece, which is that as reliance on intermittent energy sources approaches 100%, their cost will rise steeply.

The member m_currentIndex is a std::atomic<uint32_t>. The loads and stores to that member specify the memory consistency, and will use the appropriate fences as needed to meet those requirements.

Nuclear power does not compete against wind and solar, as wind and solar are intermittent power sources. Nuclear is a firm energy source, in that we can use it to create steady-state power during periods that intermittent sources are no

Hmm. Sorry, no, that's not my understanding. I think the phenomenon of discovery is distinct from the changing of behavior. I believe it is the discovery itself that is called a "medical reversal." I think the submitted pap

You or your grandfather could make a report to the DMV, or contact her doctor, who could do the same. (Googling around, a doctor's request to the DMV has special status.)

My laymen's definition of medical reversal: a current medical practice that is worse than what we did before.

I imagine the most above-board use for something like this would be in scripted tv and movies. Basically an enhanced form of ADR ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubbing_(filmmaking)#ADR/post-... ). Of course, I anti

When I wasn't working in the office, I did my work in coffee shops during grad school. I still try not to work at home now, and walk to a local coffee shop if I need to work on a weekend. Working in a public place made grad school more

SoCal is not just the Mecca of BJJ in the US, I think it has become the Mecca of BJJ in the world . IBJJF Worlds has been held in Long Beach, CA since 2007. (And was last weekend!) But, I also submit that the NY area is the central place f

Seconded. I've been training Brazilian jiu jitsu for 15 years. For most of that time, friends from jiu jitsu has been half of my social life. When I graduated and moved to a new area by myself for a job, jiu jitsu is how I met people.

I disagree that the combination of the two studies supports an effect of language choice on bug rate. Given that the original study showed a negative association for about half the languages; the replication has significant disagreement on

I think you're making the same confusion a lot of other commenters have made, specifically responding to the original study as opposed to this failed replication of that study: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2

A common thread I'm seeing in the discussion here is confusing the claims from the original paper with conclusions made by this paper . This is a replication study, and it starts by stating what the original paper found. What the or

I think you're confusing the conclusions from the original paper with the conclusions from this paper. This paper is a reproduction of the original study, and for the most part, it is not able to reproduce the findings.

I believe you are confusing the conclusions from the original paper with the claims from this paper. I think this is the case because this paper removes TypeScript from their dataset entirely: "4.1.2 Removal of TypeScript. In the

There's probably a disconnect in expectations. The researchers are probably publishing the code more as a document , to say, hey, this is how we did this. It sounds like you have expectations that the code is part of an ongoing proje
