Yes. You also have to be good enough to be able to guess what is most likely to best the best engine move.

Players only reference the engine to resolve a claim, after the move has been played.

I have difficulty with your premise, because I’ve read many pieces across many news organizations about how bad the fraud at FTX and Alameda was, and how much of a villain SBF is.

I literally number my questions in those instances: 1. Is X true? 2. If X is true, does that mean that Y is also true? People sometimes, but not always, follow suit and number their replies.

“Deprecated” usually implies intent to remove. Regardless, even dealing with such rejections is a support burden. And security vulnerabilities will tend to be fixed, even in deprecated code.

Woooow. I saw you play at a tiny show that took place in a dorm common area in DC. One of the other bands was Midvale.

I felt the same. The most important thing for a new library or language to do in its introduction is to show meaningful examples that solve a problem in the target domain in the canonical way.

Disclaimer: I work at Meta. I don't work on Velox, but my work intersects with Velox in multiple ways. The short answer is consistent semantics. We have a large data warehouse, and several different engines that query that data warehou

Doctors, lawyers and CPAs are instructive examples, as they have far stricter credentialing than software engineers. Doctors probably being the most strict, lawyers next, then CPAs. Particularly with doctors, the total amount is tightly con

I think you are mischaracterizing this meta-analysis. First, a meta-analysis is never about just trying one thing; that's what a single study is for. A meta-analysis looks at many studies, over a long period of time and tries to find c

Agreed with your overall point, and your specific example. Myself and one of my good friends I met in my physics classes in college both felt the importance of Taylor series had been massively undersold in our calculus courses, because it j

Publishing falsehoods about other people is not always protected speech. (Whether the other people are considered “public” or “private” changes the standards for deciding if the speech is protected.)

I saw this because it was deep in the HN submission about the completion of C23 ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32352569 ). What caught my attention is not the physical stuff, but what starts on page 18 of the pdf: Gen

I don't think it flows as well as just "tropes." (And I'm allergic to Oxford commas, but so many of my thoughtful friends who care about language use them that I've started to think that's just my problem.)

[shudder] I tried the first whimsical, benign thing I could think of: "indiana jones eating spaghetti." The results are clearly recognizable as that. But they are also a kaleidoscope of body horror; a Indiana Jones monster melte

I think it's important to know what problem the no-unused-imports error is solving. See Rob Pike's talk from 2012, and in particular, the section of dependencies in C++: https://talks.golang.org/2012/splash.ar

What Computer Science programs were you aware of where someone could graduate with no programming experience? I am unaware of any.

I don't think it is a fringe belief. I have not heard of such a consensus among "most scholars of antiquity." What are you basing that on? A discussion I heard in the past few years which mentions that is an open question is

Shared memory of some kind will be fastest. It requires a re-architecture of the application, some of the times. Unfortunately, I can't find the Linux kernel mailing list response any more, but the kernel devs were not sympathetic to t

I discovered something similar in the early to mid 2010s: processes on different Linux systems communicated over TCP faster than processes on the same Linux system. That is, going over the network was faster than on the same machine. The r

In the sequel, Deckard is human. I feel it reinforces your take on the first.

Dragon Quest 11 did a great job with these recaps. Someone else already gushed about how great they are: https://www.usgamer.net/articles/dragon-quest-xi-recap-featu...
