Okay, great, it’s called USB-D. Is this a new connector? Or do we now need to resort to labeling cables and checking the label? Do we do this for every new version and combination of versions for USB? USB-PD? Thunderbolt? DisplayPort?

> There shouldn't even need to be a label. A USB-C cable should be a USB-C cable should be a USB-C cable. Then USB is forever frozen in time, unless we start using new connectors. This was the tradeoff we got when standardizing on o

To be fair, very few proofs involve the creation of new machinery wholesale.

Also, the spec says it’s undefined. But compiler authors can always special-case their own compilers.

With all due respect, you might be overanalyzing it. Obviously it is trivial to merely exist. All of us are doing it with (for the majority of us who are healthy) minimal effort. The author is taking artistic license with the word as a shor

You cannot in the same breath argue that there are simple market strategies that offer superior risk-adjusted returns, and then claim that big money won’t go after it because they can’t get out. There are more actors in the market than just

Thinking there are straightforward, simple algorithmic strategies to beat the market requires one to also believe that the billions of dollars behind large investments for some reason doesn’t care about using these same strategies to make m

I couldn’t care less about solo developers who never release their hobby projects. The cautionary tales are always about potential coworkers , and as far as I can tell that stereotype simple doesn’t exist in the business world.

Also part of the issue is that lighting at night creates enormous contrast between dark areas. Even darkness is something our eyes are well-adapted to, and we can see surprisingly well with even a little moonlight. We struggle with alternat

From my experience, it took about a month of 150mg magnesium supplementation per day to see effects, two months for my insomnia to go away entirely. Doing a quick search for magnesium-rich foods, it seems like it would take either an unsust

I don’t think it says the opposite. Apple claimed a record 20% of the market. Samsung overtook them with a 24% market share. These aren’t contradictory statements. I suspect Apple’s percent of the profit share remains undefeated though.

Any sufficiently advanced imaginary technology is capable of performing anything you feel like imagining. That doesn’t make it plausible or convincing.

I suppose zero is a pretty significant number. Without new physics that isn’t even remotely visible on the horizon and that utterly contradicts most of what we believe to be true, this isn’t going to happen. Robotic AI probes sent to othe

Yep, it’s a super cool concept. A black hole of a given size has a finite amount of matter that it can ingest over a period of time. Trying to stuff more matter into it causes an outward pressure from essentially the friction of the swirlin

The argument is not that you get better prices, it’s that you get accurate prices. First, this definition has always been circular: what’s the most accurate price? The one the market comes up with. More market, more accuracy! Second, ther

This is quite literally government control of the means of production, which is the central tenet of the economic philosophy that the right repeatedly claims is their greatest mortal fear: socialism.
