Wait so you just merge right into prod? That sounds scary. The thing I work on runs like tens of thousands of tests on large PRs. It's reassuring but sometimes annoyingly slow.

That's definitely what this is. Not a twitter employee but probably all internal projects have a ci.sh that runs on their internal CI infra and they just didn't feel like going through open source review for it.

I'm not blaming wages for inflation. Just noting that inflation is also responsible for a large proportion of many peoples raises and promotions etc. The government tackling inflation is going to repress wages.

by xmcqdpt2 4y ago
The frustrating thing with the inflation crisis is that a lot of it is an emotional response to eg food prices. This is totally valid! Vital goods going up in price is scary! Wages also have been going up, maybe not as fast as the price of

Exactly. The 250k limit is clearly meant to ensure individuals don't have to fear bank runs. Saying companies should split accounts so that they all remain close to 250k is clearly a hack that goes against the intent of the law. I thin

Scala can be quite Haskell-like and is eager evaluating by default. (It's a lot less opinionated though so you can use it to write Java like code.)

This here is why I never believe anything someone says about cryptocurrencies. Every time I ask a crypto enthusiast they'll eventually relent that yes they do own a lot of crypto they expect will go up in price. (And in case someone ar

I've been using Bing AI instead of Google for a few days to test it out. It gives responses with citations. A few times already it has hallucinated details that aren't on the cited website at all, but that do sound very plausible

Insolvent in the sense that they won't be able to pay the debt? That's not very likely given that the US controls the emission of its own currency, which is the currency the government bonds are denominated in.

I agree. And you can do it very quickly, you can automate it and test it as part of a CI/CD system. Creating training material for employees and then checking that it properly addresses biases is hard. It will be a lot easier when you

Specifically I meant OMP workshare which parallelizes vector operations in Fortran, https://www.openmp.org/spec-html/5.0/openmpsu39.html sorry should have been more specific.

by xmcqdpt2 4y ago
Neat! Vectorization is the best part of writing Fortran. This looks like it makes it possible to write fortran-like code in C. I wonder how it compares to ifort / openMP?

by xmcqdpt2 4y ago
This is neat! I like it. In classic chatgpt fashion you can easily trick it if your function name is wrong however. For example, https://whatdoesthiscodedo.com/g/ab146f8 https://whatdoesthiscodedo.com/g

https://www.fdic.gov/bank/historical/bank/bfb2019.html Actually I think you'll find out if you look at the bank failure list that most deposits are paid out in full even if above the insured limit.

That happened before the fdic got involved. If it turns out he was hiding something, the SEC might get involved but otherwise he was fully allowed to sell his own stock based compensation. That's how stock based compensation works.

You are correct, these are two different kind of risks. The "risk-free" rate refers to counterparty risk (which should be zero when the counterparty has the money printer, or can be bailed out by the money printer.)

From the FDIC's own Insurance Fund, which is paid by fees assessed on banks. Ultimately I guess taxpayers pay for this because they pay for banking, but it isn't through taxes.

by xmcqdpt2 4y ago
Of course, that's why SVB failed. But the FDIC doesn't need the money now (well assuming they successfully stop the dominos from falling).

Well the op did downsize so details had to be reconstructed. Also the noise from having the image being projected through a screen and then a retaken through the camera sensor means that it isn't just your standard perfect convolution.

The example in the article doesn't make sense to me. It basically says "You want to switch out a piece of a monolith to a new service, you do it with feature flags etc. That's hard." Which is true. But then it says &quot

I doubt it frankly. Computation consumes a lot of energy, true, but it is dwarfed by how much energy we use in transportation and food production. Energy use per capita in most of the Global North is about 75,000kWh per year, https:/&

I think if that was the case Apple would be a much smaller company. People buy iPhones because they "feel nice." And the feel they are talking about is performance. If you are forced to use an app with bad performance (say Teams)
