Lazy to strict is reasonably easy to do though. The problem is normally that once one bit goes strict, most other things implicitly do too. Strict to lazy is normally a rewrite.

The current situation is unstable and requires interventions to stop it collapsing. That doesn't then make it stable. It just prolongs the instability. It will collapse. You only get to influence when it will collapse.

I think American capitalist doctrine shoots itself in the foot here. Shareholder return above all else means that most of that public money wouldn't be used to develop corporate infrastructure or capability. It would probably disappear

Dropping the compressed instructions is also a performance / power issue. That matters to mobile.

Paying fair market price for energy and water is only fair if you don't need extra infrastructure put in place to support you. If you're expecting the local government to build you electricity generating capacity... No. That'

Truly a precursor to games like pong. It's just that relays turned into transistors and so we're able to operate at speeds that made manipulation of a TV signal possible.

I wonder if part of the reason it's good is because it's been trained for a more specific task. I can only imagine that if your concept of a "house" includes range from a stately home to "a pineapple under the sea&q

I suspect this was vetoed more for reasons of not wanting to handicap California in the "AI race" than anything else.

I think one of the big takeaways from Haskell for me was that errors don't always need to be explicitly handled. Sometimes returning a safe sentinel value is enough. For example, if the function call returns some data collection, retur

Scala's has made some horrible language compromises in order to live on the JVM in my opinion.

Careful now. You'll be saying waterfall processes are a good thing.

I know an American won't understand this, but you can choose not to pay a tip. If you've invoiced me $1 it's perfectly legal for me to pay you $1.

What kind of things do you want to script? Personally I use macros in an editor for "text manipulation", and drop to Python/sed/awk for "text processing". I don't find I have a need for anything in-between

I'd really like to get hold of a model for a modern CPU and properly analyse what all the performance features actually get us in terms of performance. - Branch prediction and speculative execution - Out of order execution - Massive p

You've asked the right question, and for those that think validation is as simpLe as "run it and see if it gets the right result", good start but instruction ordering can be critical around multi thread aware data structures.

It's the width of multiplexing that has to on between having a fetch line and extracting a single instruction. As an instruction can start at many different locations, you need to be able to shift down from all those positions. That&#x

If you're only comparing medians, then just plot the medians. Why a box plot with the quartiles?

I don't really see how benign communism would be sustainable. In order for communal decision making to be practical, some form of representative hierarchy needs to form. That brings the concept of leaders and that brings concentration

I don't understand the planning around "lifeboats" and the ISS. I thought that there was always an extra Soyuz capsule docked in case people are stranded on the ISS. Yet, it's never been used and it's never discusse

That was the M (for modulator) in 520 STFM. The F was for floppy drive.

One thing in the STs favour was that it's core processor was clocked slightly faster. It needed to be because it didn't have the coprocessors for memory copies and sound that the Amiga had. However, if those processors weren'

Those 3 68000 based machines did ok against the PC until the 486 arrived. At that point all Motorola had was the 68030, and it wasn't enough progression. If the processor line had had more legs, then maybe Commodore and Atari could&#x2
