   True, but how is it relevant to the comment you replied to?

   Wouldn’t a 24 hour delay be enough to satisfy the curious about Elon’s flying habits, without creating a possible security risk? I don’t know how real the risk is, but it is certainly not zero, as he is a controversial public figure.

   Isn’t Tether controlled by bitfinex?

   Agreed, but don’t forget about compute shaders: their programmer audience extends way beyond 3D, whereas RT with all it’s current limitations is only interesting for AAA game studios.

   There is certainly new physics involved, the issue is more that for dark matter, the evidence points to matter that hardly, or perhaps not at all, interacts* with the stuff we are familiar with (standard model). It might be that the correct

   Ok sorry for the noob question. I guessed no, just because of the risks, but now I see there is no point trying.

   One issue that plagued the mars rovers so far is the buildup of dust on the solar panels. Could the helicopter help by flying over the rover, thus blowing away the dust?

    On the other hand, now that we know about it is easy to defeat: a privacy conscious browser will just add a random amount of minutes/seconds in the “if modified since” header. The only risk is you sometimes trigger a reload because the

    I agree it sounds almost paradoxical: if a law is passed to ban it, then it must be illegal. But then it is no longer “lawful but harmful”, so… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barber_paradox

    That is of course an easy solution but I would argue that this is just throwing more resources at the problem. Not a very impressive optimization. Emery Berger has a great talk [1] where he argues that it is mostly pointless to optimize pyt

    I am surprised that this is hardly discussed here. FTX is supposedly a large exchange, so there should be lots of individual investors affected.

    Thanks for the explanation. Are addition/ multiplication still linked the same was as for normal integers? Like 2*a == a + a? Edit: I do get that ‘2’ in GF might not be the same as integer 2.

    Sounds like a fine approach, and I wasn’t criticizing. Mostly I was pondering out loud why people come up with blanket statements what good tests should look like.

    I think the issue is that you’ll always have one of those teammates who see this as an excuse to test the entire happy flow and all its effects in a single test case. I think what you want is reasonable, but how do you agree when it is no l

    Maybe it is no longer safe to put in production but it would still be useful to start with something that works.

    Well, while you are developing a language, in particular a system programming language like zig, having to write your compiler in zig is a great way to learn first hand what your users are complaining about. Normally if you dogfood your own

    TLDR: Profile guided optimization was not supported on windows. That has been enabled now. So this only helps you if you are compiling on windows and want to go the extra mile of running PGO builds.

    I do hunt mushrooms occasionally, and an app is useful if you understand the limitations. If the app gives you a name, the next thing to do is consult a mushroom book to learn if there is a risk of mixups with poisenous species. In Western

    Or they do have handling for errors and the extra code did not handle all types of failure modes and added new failure modes on its own.
