That sounds like it contradicts with the fact that we've had dozens of leap seconds in the last several decades. Explain?

What was the root cause of the problem?

I believe it's 10 am PDT, which is 5 pm GMT. Daylight savings time is in effect in the U.S. currently...

Fair enough. What is an example of a test that has false positives that are not independent (and why)? Curious now.
642.
by valleyer 11y ago
Or, if the false positives are probabilistically independent, just run the same test again. If your test gives back 1% false positives, running it twice gets you down to .01%, three times gives you one in a million.

Such as trying to apply popular technologies to everything (in the best case, because of shortsightedness and in the worst case because you have a financial interest in the popular technology and its adoption for everything) instead of real

What? Isn't there already enough substantiated racism in the world? Let's not speculate up some more.

Can you provide examples of non deprecated API that Apple broke?

You are misparsing. He's effectively saying: imagine you are testing this code, and x == NULL but "bar() is invoked". Is the compiler buggy?

So you're telling me we should use base 3.

The colors are to normalize the different districts. The darkest color is always the most prevalent drug in that precinct, and the other colors in that column are relative to that drug. The brackets are presumably an explanation of how the

$AAPL ? Why not “Apple”?

Their C API is so much cleaner looking than the C++ one, imo. I avoided it so far thinking that once I want to use something not covered in the C API, I don’t want to do a big refactor. Is that a rational fear?

Haha, ok sure. :)

Sure. E.g., AppKit on OS X is in general not thread-safe (still), and for many years apps were almost exclusively single-threaded. But apps and frameworks could occasionally spin up threads as long as they were guaranteed to do work in so

Remember that in the U.S., trademarks don't need to be registered to be valid, if it can be shown that use of the trademark would confuse customers.

Where did the number 62,000 come from? Are they eliminating a class of simulations that involve differentiating results of games between two teams that are both out of it? Wins by Jacksonville? Never really thought of it as a 3^n problem
