That's an unfair characterization of the situation. Epic v Google was decided in a jury trial, whereas Epic v Apple was decided by a judge (as preferred by both parties). The other big difference is that Tim Cook wasn't caught try

Another way to frame the brute-force solution: there are "only" 5151 cases when you naively consider the integral constraint and the total number of individuals. Python one-liner: >>> [(x, y, 100-x-y) for x in range

I mean, there are really only three bleeding-edge foundries: TSMC, Samsung, and maybe Intel if they've gotten their yields back on track. Samsung has a fab near Austin, TX that was slated to make 4nm but it's been postponed to 202

Are we assuming that ~all packet loss is due to the physical medium, and almost none due to congestion? The reason why TCP will usually fall over at high loss rates is because many commonly-used congestion controllers assume that loss is li

The one example I can think of with a pre-seeded dictionary (for web, no less) is Brotli. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7932#appendix-A You can more or less see what it looks like (per an older commit):

Seems weird to attribute Haskell to Microsoft. Simon Peyton Jones joined MSR Cambridge in '98 (about a decade after the name "Haskell" was chosen), Erik Meijer joined Microsoft in 2000, and nobody else linked from the Wikiped

This is likely in no small part due to CS education only really teaching the mechanics of RSA (modular arithmetic, Fermat's little theorem, etc), or at least, that still seems to be the case at Berkeley. I'd guess because elliptic

You're certainly not wrong here -- it all depends what you're measuring and how. The 5-5.5 figure seems to be average length inside the internet routing tables, which is going to be skewed by smaller networks with relatively spars

I would wager the 1.1 figure is "average path length from CDN to end user", and quite possibly weighted by bytes served. Most of the major players in the space (Netflix, Akamai, YouTube, Facebook, etc) have boxes inside ISP networ

I was surprised that you opted to use the tag ID as a primary key instead of writing the relevant metadata to the NFC tags in the first place. NTAG215s have about 500 bytes worth of rewritable storage, so you could even embed the full deep

I think you missed the parent commenter's point. The purported performance hit wouldn't be from the propagation delay on any given router, but rather from shifts in traffic resulting in a longer path. In practice, I suspect there

std::span is no more a trap than the rest of C++'s standard library in that regard. Are you also eschewing std::vector and std::string? std::string_view, std::array? I suppose C++26 brings std::span::at, although exceptions are a diffe

That works somewhat for finding uses of a native Go module, although I've seen lots of cases where the module name is autogenerated and so you need to import with an alias (protobufs, I'm looking at you). It also doesn't work
