>To paraphrase Norvig's Latency numbers a programmer should know, if we imagine a computer that executes 1 CPU instruction every second, it would take it days to read from RAM. It's a detail, but this is a little bit off. RAM l

64K starts to be a little too wasteful. It is a small performance gain as you'd expect, but less granularity means significantly more wasted memory On a phone with limited RAM, this starts to be a bad tradeoff quickly. 16K is a reasona

I will be surprised if the EU CRA results in more F500 companies entering suppport contracts with their major OSS dependencies, but that would definitely be the ideal outcome. There's some good pro-consumer intent in this law, but as i

Git does forget, it has a gc mechanism specifically for forgetting. GitHub can't use the native git gc, and apparently doesn't have their own fork-aware and weird-cross-repo-merge-aware gc, so they might just not have built a way

Europe had been enjoying decades of peace, but it is now waking up. However there is no sense in which Western Europe is under a credible military threat by the US. If you look at the French nuclear doctrine for instance, it is designed to

Just make sure you don't benchmark it. Comparing to the competition is a serious breach of contract. Oracle is not an abusive relationship, it's just that you shouldn't be looking elsewhere, and infractions will be punished.

It's the other way around entirely: the story is the unrigorous bailey, when confronted they fall back to the actual research behind it And you can certainly criticize the research, but you've got the motte and the bailey backward

So, taking a non-expert look at the actual study, it looks like they first depolimerize PET into some acyl hydroxamate as a preparatory step. Then it seems the big finding here is that this Lossen rearrangement, a regular non-biological che

I've sometimes had uv take up to 200ms to install packages, so you could feel a slight delay between pressing enter and the next shell prompt You don't have that problem with Poetry. You go make a cup of coffee for a couple minute

You also need to consider pressure, not just temperature. The same wikipedia page is talking about dozens to hundreds of gigapascals of pressure. If you look at your triple point graph, it stops several order of magnitude below.

OVH has been getting a lot better. They recently discovered that Terraform exists and have a usable infra as code provider now. They're starting to take multi-AZ seriously. Sometimes their network is UP and working normally, which comp

The ideal for me would be Asahi support from Apple, but the software support on their hardware is so far behind the hardware itself (which is amazing).

It was Google's study that showed almost all bugs are in new code (and this was also the case of this incident) You don't need to rewrite everything to prevent the majority of new bugs, it's enough to protect new code and kee

They did make it sound like almost anything would necessarily have n scale with new users. That assumption is already questionnable There's a bit of a "What Computational Complexity Taught Me About B2B SaaS" bias going.

You burrow this simple idea in pages and pages of obfuscated tedium, and that's good enough that everyone is happy. Patent office gets their fee, lawyers get paid, company can say it has a supercharged patented innovation.

Probably minimal, it's mostly lower memory use from not having to boot a separate V8 engine with its own GC, like how Electron apps have to boot a separate browser engine. But CPU-wise it's not doing anything interesting on the cl

Trivial in math is a term that refers to anything you've already learned. You sometimes hear people say that math is tautological. But regardless of whether it's all just an elaborate rephrasing of the axioms, it's quite beau

Speaking of the beam dumps, looks like they just had to use them while I was reading. (Something about a fault with quench protection in sector 12. Hopefully the magnets are fine)
