It isn’t criticism. The comment is unsourced speculation. The stock market moves up and down all the time, so there are tons of other explanations for what happened yesterday and there was no effort to rule them out

It is extremely helpful to be able to estimate performance without building out a whole system. For instance 10ms vs 100ms vs 1s latency makes a world of difference as far as what is possible and what component might be the bottleneck. Thou

MA does massive amounts of surveillance testing of people who don’t have symptoms. So infections should be picked up by both wastewater testing and PCR tests at about the same time

Even in that situation it is still worth asking what order of magnitude the performance difference will be. If a junior engineer codes up the slower one, should they rewrite it or is it not worth the time? I just don’t understand why enviro

A key piece of advice in performance optimization is to profile first. The same should apply to environmentalism. Some interventions have orders of magnitude more impact than others, and we shouldn’t pretend otherwise

The problem is that the "most natural sized number for the platform" was 32-bits for so long on major platforms, that now everyone assumes that changing that will break too much for it to be worth switching

The problem isn't whether a valid contract was formed. It is how many billable hours it will take the lawyers to agree on the exact text of that contract. Perhaps the defendant claims that version 5 of the contract was displayed to the
