Google wants everything to run on Chromebooks for the education market, so writing native desktop apps goes against their own interests.

I imagine it would work quite nicely in Iceland, with abundant energy and little (any?) arable land. It’s arguably better than mining Bitcoin with that energy. You can also significantly decrease water use, which matters in places like the

Oh, interesting. See looked amazing but the story was just not good at all in my opinion. Glad someone enjoyed it!

I think the logic is that the scaling up manufacturing is already occurring in parallel, so it isn’t as simple as an N day delay causing N days worth of deaths. The excess deaths would be N times the (small) fraction of daily deaths that wo

Well, in Texas it varies from a minimum of 6.25% to a maximum of 8.25%, but 8.25 is indeed typical: > Texas imposes a 6.25 percent state sales and use tax on all retail sales, leases and rentals of most goods, as well as taxable services

People who have made a difficult personal sacrifice for their ideals often react poorly to that sacrifice becoming obsolete, and transform the now unnecessary sacrifice into a social marker. In this case: meat is enjoyable, but eating it is

Kind of. Incremental adds are possible with a Bloom filter, but not incremental removes. Resizing is also not possible, so you’ll want to redownload occasionally.

People can be irrational when it comes to their diets, but that doesn’t make them wrong. Some people care and some don’t. Restaurants tend to take the strictest interpretation of a diet because that minimizes angry customers.

I think most people my age (22) in the US use Facebook Messenger. It’s certainly how I do most of my communication. Facebook Messenger is like iMessage except you can generally assume everyone is on it. The main caveat is that you get the b

This looks really cool! Some feedback: I don’t understand exactly what the colors are. Is it 2016 results, with darker shades being more extreme? Is it 2020 polls? Something else? I would like an option to sort alphabetically so that I can

I agree, those are good points. The art is definitely in knowing when to switch between zoom and slack, balancing all of these factors.

by senkora 6y ago
I’m sure this differs across people and companies, but in my experience a one-on-one Zoom meeting is often faster than the slack discussion would be. It’s similar to walking over to your coworkers desk to chat for things that are too longwi

That’s true, but they also benefit more from UBI. If you are taxed less than $12k of VAT and are given $12k of basic income, then you still come out ahead.

by senkora 6y ago
The author makes a reasonable argument against using an income tax to pay for UBI, but Andrew Yang’s platform was to establish a Value-Added Tax, not an income tax. I don’t think that the same negative substitution incentive occurs with a V

I’m pretty sure x86 does have split L1i and L1d. From Wikipedia (not the best source I know): “L1 cache size unchanged at 32 KB (KiB) instruction and 32 KB (KiB) data cache per core.“ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky

A somewhat related idea is called "benign effects." The idea is that you write code with an immutable interface that uses mutation in its implementation. So there are "effects" (non-functional state changes) that are enc

noexcept is also important for optimization. If a template function is guaranteed to be exception-safe, and it’s called with a type whose move constructor isn’t noexcept, then the function needs to fallback to the copy constructor to mainta

That’s probably fine for a growth product. They’ll increase monetization once the network effect is well-established.
