I'm immediately reminded of Apple's "goto fail" bug, which was in part overlooked because of poor formatting and/or style: https://dwheeler.com/essays/apple-goto-fail.html

The supreme court sure did take power away from the executive in Sacket v EPA, Ohio v EPA, and Biden v Nebraska, but it's likely that reasoning only applies to liberal presidents for the 6-3 conservative federalist society majority.

Youtube used to add mid-roll ads to videos that were at least 10 minutes, so your video would basically make twice as much if you stretched it that long. I think the threshold is 8 minutes nowadays. Short form is hard to monetize (if you ar

2018 wasn't a presidential race, which consistently have higher spending. 2020 and 2024 were each over $15B, and there is a steady upward trend in real dollars. https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2024/10/to

That's actually one of the reasons the president has a veto. If the president doesn't want the law to pass, then there isn't much point in passing it unless Congress makes a show of force with the 2/3rds majority, which

Ours with snow tires does great. Most people probably don't have snow tires though, and they may have tires that perform worse-than-normal like LRR tires or full summer tires. Snow tires are great on all FWD and are probably way cheape

Moderately well sealed houses still exchange quite a lot of air, but if it wouldn't be satisfactory, they often have a fresh air vent usually with a heat exchanger to maintain heating and cooling efficiency. The HRVs and ERVs mentioned

The original cron was programmed this way, but it has to examine every job every tick to check if it should run, which doesn't scale well. Instead, you predict when the next run for a job will be and insert that into an indexed schedul

A lot of campuses have actual police. In some ways campuses are similar to a municipality and have many of the services that entails (fire, trash, water, power, snow removal, parks, and security/law enforcement). You could similarly as

The "How it's Made" for cymbals is a Zildjian factory. By the time this was made, there were already many competitors, so I doubt anything in the video wasn't already replicated by Sabian, Paiste, etc., but it's sti

This implementation uses unsafe. You can write a linked list in safe rust (e.g. using Rc), but it probably wouldn't resemble the one you write in C. In practice, a little unsafe is usually fine. I only bring it up since the article is

I usually reduce the width of my browser window, but reader mode is a great idea too. I like the minimal aesthetic, but text width is so important to readability that danluu really should add a max width.

What you describe is kind of like a theoretical heat exchanger that only averages temperature at a single point. You can improve this by exchanging heat across a continuous length along opposing flows. Imagine two parallel pipes thermally b

Part time makes sense for a company if it's a specialized role that they can't saturate with 40 hours of work per week but still need on an ongoing basis. E.g. * Remote hands for 10s of racks at a datacenter * SOC2/auditing p

People complain about having to reinvent major discoveries in interviews, but in my experience this is very rare. The overwhelming majority of coding questions are more advanced versions of fizzbuzz, which merely require reapplication of co

There is a retention policy, so the raw events aren't kept very long. The rollups probably compress really well in their time series database, which I'm guessing also has a retention policy. If you have high cardinality metrics, i

Any IC that would be practical to DIY is available for <$1 and you could probably get something 1000x more powerful for nearly the same price. Making chips isn't the issue here.

The better version of this is sagas, which is a kind of a simplified distributed transaction. If you do this without actually using sagas, you can really mess this up. E.g. you perform step 2, but fail to record it. When resuming from crash

Is 800 euros that bad? In the US, we were quoted $10k a few years back. Even if fiber is already at the road, $800 is probably a fair price just to trench the line from the road to your home and install an entry point. If they provide free

If the stock is liquid, then this makes sense. However, if it's not, then you might not want to hold that much stock (or especially options) in a single company. It's also common for the refresher grants to be much smaller, especi

We once accidentally made a change to a python project test suite that caused it to successfully run none of the tests. Then we broke some stuff but the tests kept "passing". It's a little difficult to productionize an always
