Even if this reviewers weren't allowed to be submitters, if there is more than one conference, or the conference runs for more than one year, the same mechanism can be used.

I wonder if the title "The Shadows of the Coming Race" alludes to "Vril: The Power of the Coming Race", published eight years before, if that phrase was already in circulation. Google ngrams first sees it in 1868.

I assume they just use the Gregorian calendar throughout - roughly what is called "proleptic Gregorian" [1], although since the Gregorian calendar started on 15 October 1582, which is before 1601, it's not really proleptic. J

Is anyone old enough to remember when Google was an aspirational place to work? They had the best engineers and were doing the best stuff, and people spoke their name with awe. Now it's just Microsoft with a salad bar.

Wasn't most performance-sensitive 6502 code back in the day handwritten in assembly? How does the performance of this compiler compare to that? Not to detract from this work - it's really cool and interesting! But i wonder if it w

I got my first iPhone a few weeks ago, and was surprised and disappointed to find this missing. It makes for such an easy routine when going to bed, or into a meeting or whatever.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone with substantial experience of trunk-based development who prefers a merge workflow, and can articulate why. Comments on TBD posts are usually either TBD enthusiasts, or people who have never used

The spec itself contains an informative section which says: > The following code defines a pair of functions that could be incorporated into applications wishing to ensure that the same sequence of numbers is generated across different m

by twic 2y ago
The spec [1] only requires that the sequence of pseudo-random numbers is repeated for a given seed within a single process ("subsequent" and "is then"). That means rand as specified is useless for reproducible sequences

I run Steam via Flatpak on Fedora and it all seems to work fine. I haven't exactly pushed the machine to its limits, though. Team Fortress 2, Overwatch 2, and various random old or indie games. Stock Proton works fine, and i also use P

The most striking this about this paper, to me, is that the editor accepted it without a resolution to the mystery! That's a rare treat in the story-hungry world of modern science. Also, the story about potassium flare stars is good:

We don't have great language or models for talking about this stuff. It's possible for there to be a person or group who are fine, but who attract or allow followers and fellow travellers who are not fine. Then it's possible

This sounds to me like industry bodies such as WG21, TC39, JSR expert groups, etc. A way to get people with full-time jobs in relevant industries together to plan their shared future. I doubt the members of this board are wealthy people joi

It would be really helpful to see an example of one of these naughty excess demand curves, along with the utility function for each agent. For an economy with a small enough number of commodities and agents that it might be comprehensible,
