What exactly is the connection between hyperthreading and safety?

I really enjoyed An Elegant Puzzle (the book by the author, this article is there). The greatest thing about it is that it is opinionated. For example, it gives you the optimal number of developers in a team. You can disagree with it, but a

At first I agreed with you, but then I thought about the variation with 100 doors (this is what originally helped me grasp the correct answer): you choose a door out of 100 (with very slim chance of choosing the correct one), the host opens

You are not enumerating the options correctly. You have 3 rows for the GGC and GCG options but 4 for the CGG option, which is assigning the CGG option higher probability. In reality, they have equal weight.

Same here. I had a monthly billing of a few dollars and couldn't figure out where it's coming from (and given that it's only a few dollars, it wouldn't make sense to spend many hours investigating). In the end I just can

Talented people will also have higher standards (want large compensation package, or interesting work, or something else), and figuring out whether a job opening is up to that standard takes time. The result is that even for developers in h

Do you really need SSDs to store video? If you build a surveillance system, it would probably be cheaper with HDDs.

It's a good 10-minute story, but it was needlessly stretched to 30. It was so long and repetitive that he didn't even have enough stock footage to fill everything and had to repeat each shot 3+ times.

The C4 Model looks pretty good, it's like a very simplified UML. The main selling point for me is that it's very intuitive to understand without knowing anything about it in advance. However, I don't have much actual experien

Yes, many employees want to come to the office part time. But Google says they will need to come to the office (almost) all the time. How many people want that?

Yes, that's exactly the issue. I don't remember the exact file name, maybe it was a directory named "static". The behavior was not as expected, and only a Google search helped me figure out why files were disappearing.

Do you have anything to base your skepticism on? The length of the whole canal is 200km and it took 10 years to build. I don't claim that it's exactly linear, but it sounds reasonable to assume a few weeks for just a 1km segment.

by tomerv 6y ago
I actually don't understand why this isn't the best option right now. The east bank is mostly empty, and the channel is pretty shallow. You could probably construct a 1km detour within a few weeks with relatively low cost. Seems l

Israel: The most common form used to be 100g slabs wrapped in paper (with lines printed for 25g blocks) for locally produced butter. Recently I'm seeing more of the 200g slabs, which are the same size except double the height. Also mor

You should read about the Kibbutz settlements [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibbutz ]. These were social settlements, that succeeded for a long time. However, many of them stopped being so social due to capitalistic pr

I am pretty sure this reporting style predates internet journalism. I see it as a very American style. It appears in almost all long form articles in English language articles. Almost every article has this irrelevant segue about a third wa

Many people have some misguided belief in the power of deterrence. My point of view is that if you want to scare people from doing something bad, you need to catch it early (the "it's going on your permanent record" approach

I think we all agree that in this case the mother - who is a light offender - should not have gotten such a harsh sentence. Your vision of the mother being with the child effectively means that the mother gets a lighter sentence. But sadly

I'm pretty sure that Spotify has this button. It depends on the interface you're using, but it generally looks like a "no entrance" road sign. I used it a few times, and I didn't hear the song again.

Seems to me like you're proving GP's point: you had the experience and knowledge to push back against the default legal process. A less experienced person might not have done it.

Of course there are! And it's all part of SV culture. A few years ago I tried to sign up to LinkedIn only to find out I already have an account. But it was not my account - it was someone else's, who has a similar name (and appare

There is some shadow pattern where you need to refuse to install the app (or make it seems like the installation didn't work) and it will eventually give you a link to the web client. I'm not sure whether there is a reproducible w

I suppose it depends on the definition of government. I was thinking of the executive branch (maybe I confused the terms). Parliament legislation would be the branch that has the responsibility to protect from such things.
