I think the problem with forking is you can't take the 'lodash' noun on NPM. So you make a fork of lodash, fix the outstanding issues - but getting every single dependency to actually accept it is a whole 'nother missio

For comparison, The Intel DTK was a P4, with an Intel GMA900 GPU, shoved in a powermac chassis. It wasn't indicative of the performance of the core duo & xeons they in the first-gen Intel Macs. The DTK is a minimum viable platform

I believe the NDA forbids benchmarking. That doesn't mean it's not going to happen, but it might hurt Geekbench's case for releasing it. Or even receiving a dev unit.

If you saw a stock quote with a red triangle pointing upwards, would you be confused? The orientation is meaningful.

I've always preferred trunk. We branch off a trunk - branching off a master always seemed like a weird mix of analogies.

I think I’d disagree with this. It does hurt him, in that he’d earn more where he is. He will take a hit from this. Unless he’s entirely mismanaged his finances, it shouldn’t hurt much, but it will hurt more than it would otherwise.

It’s somewhere around 400k for ww2. I’m really hoping these numbers don’t become relevant. I was simply trying to make unimaginable numbers, imaginable.

I honestly don’t think we know yet. I think most resources are being pumped into things that are actionable. I’m not trying to fear-monger. But if people want to come up with “alternative” statistics, I think they need to be justifiable.

What really boggles my mind is to consider the next "milestone". The US lost 116,516 in WW1. We're probably less than 2 weeks from reaching that on paper, and probably past that in blood. We passed 9/11 (on paper) on M

I'm not sure we can actually calculate that - especially given the permanent damage left to lungs, heart and kidneys - we don't actually know how many years this is going to take off survivors. If you survive covid at 20 and die a

That’s what I stick to. If a sentence begins and ends within a quote, the stop is also within the quote. If the sentence starts outside of quotes, I end it outside of quotes, regardless of whether it’s “correct”.

The last numbers I saw (2016-ish) put Advertising at 86% of Google's revenue (Or perhaps Alphabet's revenue? I'll admit that all that stuck in my head was this 86.) If those numbers are still anywhere near close, Google is a

It probably is a free speech issue. Free speech is not the end-all and be-all, in Europe at least. Person A wants to put a photograph of Person B on facebook. Person B does not want their image on facebook. Person A has a right to freedom

As a European, this is the biggest distinction I see. Policing as a verb is society's job. Police as a noun, is someone who's taken this as their primary role. It's not supposed to be us against them - there is no them.

I suspect that only going ARM on a few models could be detrimental. The risk is creating a niche within a niche. If they move everything, as with previous arch moves, it's "do or die" for third-parties. But if, eg, MacBook

It should disconnect eventually. And the timeframe for "eventually" has been changed in recent years. Originally there was a grace period because of pulse dialling. Each "pulse" is actually a hangup - so the system had

I must admit it’s never a good look when a week-old company receives a sizeable federal contract. Especially when the founders are political insiders. There could indeed be perfectly innocent reasons - but it smells funny.

Any you'd suggest in particular? I often find it cheaper to get 10 boards made in China than to get 1-2 made anywhere near remotely local. (And DHL from China isn't a lot slower than DHL from Germany)

So fun trivia. A nautical mile is one minute of latitude (1/60th of a degree). The meter was originally 1/10,000,000th of the equator to the north pole. So I'd argue the nautical mile was more logical than the statute mile

The problem with these systems is rarely the language itself. It's that they're spaghetti monoliths - with decades of growth and tangles. And it's really difficult to overstate monolith here - government and finance are oft

It doesn't help us much now, but I think there is a strong case for expecting them to build up a warchest. American, Delta, and United have all had bankruptcies before, so we know they're not invincible. 9/11 hit them hard

We're theoretically not able to prevent follow-ups for this exact reason. If I've just failed a customer, I just tick the box to say no follow up? Angry customers are why the feedback loop exists. (We're technically able.
