I think the main thing that's different about Go compared to more old-school languages is that the Go binary distribution includes the cross-compilers right out of the box. So anybody who can run "go build" can also cross-c

I wonder: if a meeting is held over Zoom (or whatever), and one participant turns on automatic captioning, does the resulting text that exists in their computer's memory constitute a "written record" that legally must be pres

Even if an object is moving in a parallel orbit to Earth's around the sun, if you "zoom in" to the point where it enters the Earth's sphere of influence, the influence of the sun is relatively small. It's roughly as

You have to bear in mind that until the 17th century or so, the philosophical doctrine that "nature abhors a vacuum" seemed to be backed by very reasonable evidence: namely, the fact that it was basically impossible to actually cr

That's a convention that varies from one region to another. For instance, in the UK it's normal to write initialisms in all caps (e.g. CNN or the FBI) but not acronyms (e.g. Nasa, Opec, or Geico).

Any time you actually need to use the ordering property. For instance, if you have an ordered map with string keys, you can very efficiently find all the keys with a given prefix. With an unordered_map, you'd have to iterate through th

IPFS is a content distribution system that doesn't really solve the problem of archiving and preserving data. It can only be relied on to "store" data as long as at least one node has the data pinned, so really it's ju

That is one possible way to approach this situation, but it has some problems: * It's a well-established social norm (at least in the SF world) that money should always flow from publishers to writers, never the other way around. That&

Just about everyone who describes Docker, including the Docker documentation itself, describes "exposing" a port as creating a "mapping" between ports in the container and ports on the host. Furthermore, the "contai

I guess you're being sarcastic, but postponing the worst effects of climate change from "now" to "millions of years from now" would be an enormous win.

That doc link is funny, but it's also very frustrating -- you would think that after all those warnings, there would also be some glimmer of information about what sets the accursedUnutterablePerformIO function apart from unsafePerform

It's not nearly that simple. If your encryption scheme is deterministic then this leaks a ton of information, because anybody with the public key can just encrypt lots of values to reconstruct a mapping between plaintexts and ciphertex

Right now, if you go to bing.com, there's a big "Introducing the new Bing" banner, which takes you to the page about their chatbot. You have to get on a waitlist to actually use it, though.

The point I'm trying to make with that sentence doesn't depend on the exact license. I apologize if I didn't word it clearly enough. Java is licensed under the GPL, which says any derivative works of a GPL'd work must al

No problem. It's not necessarily your fault -- you have to be careful what you read, because a lot of people seem to have very strongly held opinions about the AGPL that are based on hearsay, not on what the license actually says.

The quote is talking about code that is supposed to find the ceiling of a number, and does so by adding 0.5 and then rounding to the nearest value (breaking ties by rounding towards even). If you have a very small but non-zero positive nu

I am all for transparency and limited intrusiveness of telemetry. But in practical terms, the problem with this approach -- if I'm understanding it correctly -- is that it has no way to detect and reject outliers, and therefore the dat

No, you seem to be misunderstanding the conjecture. It's about the maximum number of steps executed by a Turing machine that eventually halts. If you simulate a Turing machine up to that many steps, and find it hasn't halted yet
