I do this too. The only downside seems to be that I get caught in recaptchas constantly now. Google seems to know how to make tracker avoidance painful enough that I doubt most would follow through with it after a few weeks.

Yes. That one works pretty well, though it still lags a bit behind the efficient state machines that C# generates which can also help avoid a lot of allocations and indirection in deep task chains. One step at a time though, it'd be gr

After dealing with F#'s Async<T> in production, I'm not sure I'd prefer it to the TPL. There are plenty of performance and efficiency problems and the expressiveness is also a double edged sword (we found lots of progra

Interesting. I've been meaning to look into the AOT compilation strategies at some point. I'll have to do some comparisons with the code I'm working with.

.NET's and thus C#'s generics are very well designed but they rely on the design of .NET as a whole being a managed language, so it can get away with a slightly more sophisticated runtime representation. An example of this is that

The translation units in C++ tend to pay this cost a number of times over because of the way header files are processed. With modules, this theoretically could start getting closer to Rust, but for large projects, C++ templates can still be

It’s a shame they only mention Farey when introducing the binary tree construction. It’s called a Stern-Brocot tree (after two independent discoveries). Farey sequences end up being a specific enumeration over this tree. It’s interesting to

For this specific RISC-V variant, it seems like it requires relative expensive FPGAs. There are some other RSIC-V cores that you can play with which run on small and cheap FPGAs. I’ve played with the picorv/picosoc project on a TinyFPG

Though F# Async is quite a bit different in that it is the computation rather than a cold invocation. One can use Tasks in F# of course but last time I checked, it will only use a CPS transformation rather than the more efficient state mach

I guess his involvement may have made that look like a conflict of interest? AnandTech already has a reputation Apple favoritism (deserved or not, I can't say).

An interesting part of this project was dealing with artist names. John has done a very good job normalizing all of this data in a graph which can allow others to discover related works and even merge otherwise distinct aliases. A subset of

It is probably "losing" time because it assumes the system clock is set to local time while Linux assumes it is UTC. If either use a network time service to reset the clock, the other will look wrong between reboots. The easiest s

This reminds me of the Accidentally Quadratic series: https://accidentallyquadratic.tumblr.com/ These issues are quite common and seem to grow out of that initial expectation that N stays small which later turns out to not

I’m not sure what you mean here. I just used safari 12 with extensions installed. Are there new restrictions for extensions?

I’m not sure I passed any judgement on which is better but Fred is a very well practiced presenter and so I do recommend watching if you want to see how he emphasized particular points. (His slide artwork is also worthtuning in for.)

I paid for YouTube red until I got tired of googles own ads promoting their own content which I had zero percent interest in. I’d dismiss and disable it and it’d just come back the next day. So much for ad-free. Now I use youtube-dl and avo

Uplink was fun but I'd say this game has far more "hacking" in it. You have to do things like: - crack passcodes - manipulate tv station tapes - soft-mod console disk firmware - dial-up various hosts using a

Yes. From the spec sheet, you can order it with Ubuntu pre-installed as well.

Typically their non-touch FHD displays are matte (I think that's what the parent was pointing out). I opted for that in my recent T480 build over the glossy HiDPI display with the face detection cam. It's definitely very nice not

Which is odd for a new SKU because the lenovo ThinkPad T480 I'm typing this reply on is USB-C based charging.

Good point on the quarterly vs continuous measurement. I'm not implying they are rigidly mapped but it makes sense you can put quality changes down as an objective for a team. This can be both end-of-quarter quality but also the genera

These distinctions started making more sense when I realize they map to OKRs which is generally how Google is said to track individual and team performance. In general, it's good to be precise about how you measure and when something i

Right. You can't use xmonad to tile windows apps in this kind of setup. Generally firefox and visual studio are screen hogs so I tend to alt-tab for apps like that, which works fine in combination with the fullscreen X server.

Powershell is flashy but I find it's a poor interactive tool but great for scripting. I tend to stick with cmd as the better shell and run sh scripts when I need a little more done. It may be old and have its quirks but people dismiss
