The problem is that A might be overwritten many times between snapshots. So you may know one value for A, but you have to simulate execution forward to find out the specific value it had when execution reached that line.

“Consequences for thee, not for me” feels pretty hypocritical. In this case Musk wants the consequences for speech be limited to things (like being fired) that he doesn’t have to worry about because he is rich.

If the employees had posted on twitter instead, he totally still would have fired them. Musk just wants to be able to speak without consequences, while he’s perfectly happy to impose consequences on speech by his employees

That sounds just like Musk’s job description!

Strip malls are generally one story buildings with tons of parking. They’re exactly the sort of thing that even very strict zoning codes allow. If you instead checked how much of the state allowed 6-story apartment buildings, you’d come to

Saying that anyone who can’t afford a down payment has to pay rent + 10% of the total home value in taxes each year is absurd.

I don't blame him for responding publicly. I do however think Armstrong is behaving blatantly hypocritically by calling out his employees for violating the corporate values (that he wrote!), while he himself ignores them out of expedie

The previous tweet is also wild: "[...] But our culture is to praise in public, and criticize in private." Like seriously? In a thread where he’s publicly criticizing the actions of his employees, he really has the chutzpah to poi

I wasn't trying to be uncharitable. You said that we should have retroactively discarded 100% of votes from specific precincts, so I pointed out why allowing selective invalidation like that is a really bad idea.

I think the claim is that back then the law was “finders keepers” so it shouldn’t retroactively be called theft. Personally I don’t find that argument very compelling.

Having two rounds is by definition not first past the post. And in fact that is the difference that makes it possible in France for third and fourth parties to get non-trivial support in the first round.

The killer feature of VS Code for me is that when you open a source file for python, or C++, or whatever it pops up a dialogue: “would you like to install the extension for this file type?”. Click that and you’ve got working IDE features fo

What you’re proposing is that the official in charge of running elections can cut funding to precincts that usually vote for his opponent, and then later invalidate all ballots cast there?

Stuffing paper ballots into a box or tapping the screen of an electronic voting machine are both very easy. This stuff has to be fixed at a higher level, like by making sure the folks running the precinct aren’t corrupt or by having a neutr

The question isn’t whether any format from 35 years ago is still feasible to decode. The question is whether every format from back then is.

Yeah, it is also a matter of the changes having a smaller impact. “Feature X improved performance by 1%” or “Removing feature Y cost 2% performance, but freed up the transistors for feature Z for a net 0.5% percent win” are the kind of chan

There’s no way it is that high. A remarkably high percentage of work across the sciences is “computational” these days, which involves potentially very intensive simulation.
