I lament that it seems to start out with a 80-90% free disk and ends with a 60-70% full disk and reads mostly blocks that are free. And when it's done it just restarts with a fragmented disk...

I think besides learning how to balance and steer a bike, kids have to learn propelling the bike using pedals. A bike is different from most other pedalled vehicles that kids usually use (with the exception of pedal karts) due to the gear r

I don't think this is true. The virus can survive in some for a long time. Same as with the flu. I think the endemic phase is absolutely inevitable. The only question is how long does it take, and how many people will be killed in the

The binary stl format uses float precision. But the point is much more that parsing takes CPU cycles.

These stats were made before the EU's most obese country left the union ;) If you look at obesity level per country, the most populous country in the EU is on rank 79 of 191, not far from the middle of the table, while the US is on ran

Without knowing anything about how python is being developed, but I know that the python 2 -> python 3 transition was nearly fatal. And from other projects I know that the easiest way to prevent such events is that you put people in char

By users you mean investors? The article argues that only a small group of investors have power. So replacing one man one vote by one dollar (or bitcoin) one vote is a loss of democracy. I don't see how corruption can be prevented by r

If your dataset is large enough to benefit from such a hyperoptimized parser you might not benefit from the human readability anymore, which is the main reason for the required CPU cycles on the first place. So you should probably use a fea

So, basically you want better management for firefox, and hope funding to magically appear out of thin air? Are you sure that the loss of market share is due to mismanagement? Could it not be due to a competitor with unfair advantage? I mea

You are correct. This article, written in 2021, does not apply with the motivation stated in the article anymore, outside of niche applications. FP is actually faster in many situations nowadays (for example divisions). If you account for t

So your argument is that imposing the view that harming others isn't good is worse than imposing harm? Sorry I don't follow. Also are you arguing that the fact that people harmed others has happened that somehow means a world wher

I think the idea is not to do overtime. The idea is to use some of the slack you have because you finish your normal work early to consider process/architectural improvements or similar. Some people here consider it so obvious, that th

You increase carbon taxes, outlaw fossil fuels and subsidize alternatives. This kind of innovation doesn't work without government intervention.

Whatsapp does allow it and this nicely allows anyone to create a small personal note taking area: just create a group chat with anyone else and then ask that person to leave again.

I'm not so sure it is even a strong suggestion. Actually inline nowadays mostly has a semantic meaning - the symbol can be defined in multiple compilation units without causing multiple definition errors from the linker. Usually you ca

They are still playing catch up in many areas. Wait a few more decades, and they are sure to also innovate. Probably China will open up, just like they opened up economically, when it suited them.

There is zero reason why developers should even concern themself with BE these days. LE officially won, just as two's complement, UTF-8 and IEEE-754 won. Sure, most software could easily be agnostic and probably most software is. But u
