I've used "fraction" for this purpose .. but that isn't general enough. In fact a convention I've used for nearly 2 decades has been varName_unit .. where the part after the underscore (with the preceding part being

I was looking for a reference to the physical size of the reactor and couldn't find it. The sites only say "smaller". Any links with size info and requirements for containing infrastructure?

Thumbs up for "The Age of Em". A nice example of how to assume a technology and work out economic consequences. Hanson goes into some good detail and includes physical constraints, emergent properties like relative time elapsed fo

Oh this is so frustrating with today's OSes. While it is easy to see latency as being an issue with media centric applications (gaming, music ..), a mundane impact has been the increase in interactions where you do something like click

Not only do dots not matter, you can suffix "+<anything>" to your user name before the "@gmail.com" and it will still come to your email address. I actually love this "+" feature and use it a lot .. like

Is it hard for Google to blacklist these questionable domains and block them at the Android level instead? .. if the claimed issue is really a concern. That way browsers will also benefit from it.

I recall another tool called "Harvard Graphics" using which 3d-ish text could be printed using a dot-matrix printer.

UI in the browser isn't the right frame to think about webassembly. The right frame is wherever you can benefit from running a piece of potentially untrusted code within a sandbox. This is important for platform vendors who have to run

From what I understand, Terraform's k8s provider doesn't abstract k8s details. You still have to deal with the same complexity. (Disclosure: I work for Pramati - the parent company behind Hyscale)

I would also place as a requirement that the code be comprehensible to someone familiar with the domain - .i.e. a "peer".

Another way I like to state this is "bottlenecks are beautiful design devices".

There appears to be some hope in the (currently largely Julia based) SciML - scientific machine learning - ecosystem. The goal there is to combine scientific models and learn corrections from data. Pretty impressive set of libraries in this

From a financial perspective, it appears unfair to also charge 30% for in-app purchases after the safety guarantees of the app have been established by apple, thereby invalidating their claim that charging a cut of in-app purchases is also

There's also an expectation that memory footprint will be lower and that can contribute to speed by reducing GC time. The "JIT can do it too" arguments generally don't consider bounded memory.

The writeup is not so much about the semantics of the words, but more about the fact that there are so many moving parts designed by diverse teams that no one individual (or even team) has a complete enough understanding of the whole that&#

On a parallel front, it feels like something similar has happened with computers too. Laptops have gotten better (more cores, more RAM, SSD) over the years, but still the more frequent interaction occurrence seems to be me waiting for the c

I'm willing to go a little further with recombination given that a good part of a traditional musician's education consists of studying and re-performing "standards" be they jazz, western classical or Indian classical (w

The reality is likely neither here nor there - i.e. computing may have more to offer to the creative endeavor than creators would like to admit, but still leave an obvious gap which technologists might be loathe to admit. It may be instruct

From a neurological perspective, this seems to be at loggerheads with findings that active brain engagement (puzzles, games, music, etc) can help push out alzheimer's and such degenerative diseases. At first read, I felt an urge to con

Careful there. Any metric used as a proxy to gauge the value of a dependency to the project could result in the system being gamed.

Why do such fees (online, appstore, etc) have to be "some x% of the transaction value" and not just a flat fee?
