Well building anything with tubes makes no sense at all but that doesn’t rule out making headphone amps. Many small devices are unable to drive many kinds of headphones so you need something to bridge that gap. The other reason you might ha

You put the building cladding, whatever it is, outside the foam. So usually from inside out: a wall, foam on wall, drainage screen, cladding. Can be brick, wood, whatever. There’s also exterior foam cladding that’s made to be open to the el

Usually concrete walls have a foam core. Solid concrete is only about R0.5/in, about half as good as wood. Even so, insulated cavities are totally obsolete. Exterior foam is far superior.

I wish the article discussed huge pages for executable text and their beneficial impact on the iTLB.

I always find comparisons with tcmalloc hard to parse, since it has a million knobs and the defaults are terrible. If they are running with 16 threads I would normally advise increasing the thread cache size far above the default 3MiB. also

That’s a good point. The regime in Berkeley only kicks in after the first time the property is leased.

The ability of cities in California to require landlords to report rents and vacancies is already well-established. For example in Berkeley landlords must report vacancies within 15 days of tenants quitting.

That's only right if you tax rent, which LA does not.

How about if Prop 13 just doesn't apply to homes except one's primary residence?

Intel chips are still significantly better than AMD for many common workloads. If you are running SpecCPU or Cinebench in production then AMD might be right for you; in all other cases I urge you to run your own realistic benchmarks before

If the other poster has the tan pinned then it is probably very easy to find. Perhaps even command-2 if it’s pinned in the second tab from the left.

That’s only true if you configure it in a particular way. By default it stays running when closed so it can notify you and update its badge.

Going on intuition I figured that “boxthorn” and “razorbills” were undoubtedly English words but not knowing them I followed the rules and answered no. They both are, apparently, English words. 87%.

Why does anyone use the app instead of the site?

Only hacker news can impute so much malice into the plans of an intern. If she can really disrupt free software in only 12 weeks then good for her I guess.

It sound to me more like they want an easy way to exercise QUIC.

I've noticed that when anyone claims to have invented something on HN, they get voted down. But I have no reason to doubt it. Please tell us more about how you came to use this question, and why you think it wasn't in circulation

I believe email is significantly larger than the web. Wouldn't that be your largest repo of knowledge, in aggregate?

Kanev[1] disagrees. Flat profiles are the common case in actual practice. Edited to add: Since apparently you also work at Google, you should walk over to Svilen's desk and just ask him if profiles of production software are generally

It makes a big difference if all your function signatures in a Go program take a string parameter or a []byte parameter, or if they take some other expensive type by value. Refactoring this later can be close to impossible. I would say rath

I'm looking at US Census American Community Survey B25001 "Housing Units" which is all-inclusive. This figure stood at 30,898 in 2017 and 29,247 in 2010. These estimates are consistent with the ABAG report which says that R

Putting the "explosion" in context, Redwood City built new housing at an annual growth rate of 0.8% between 2010 and 2017, the latest available data. This is far below the historical rate of new housing starts. At no time betwee

Very little of the Bayshore plan permits "high rise" building. I believe there is exactly one 15-story building in the plan. Everything else is 5 or less (sticks over garage style construction). The vast majority of the _land_ i

That seems like a weird analysis. Leaded fuel was available but not exactly widespread in EU in 1999. Their timeline was similar to the American timeline: 1973-1996 phaseout for US, 1976-2000 phaseout for Europe.

The risk of write-profile-optimize is that you might write a big slow program with a totally flat profile. If it doesn’t meet performance requirements at that point, then what?

Yes. Read the paper. All confounding factors are controlled. It is the holy grail of causality.

True, but there is recent evidence that is pretty much the gold standard for a perfect randomized experiment where they tracked children with high blood levels who did and did not receive interventions to lower it. Those receiving treatmen

That's just a detail of how linux is developed. The fixing patch was mailed on May 17th and it mentions the CVE.
