The other point I find missing is that this kind algorithmic optimization tends to miss solutions that are quite obvious to "system designers" due to local maxima (evolutionary roadblocks). For instance, nature has not figure out

User contributed is not a good idea. One of the sad realities is that even in the enthusiast market a lot of people don’t know/don’t care to tune and test their system, and there’s a lot of traps that would make the results useless. Th

The one I've had to use (and find reasonable) is to have "trusted devices". That's how it works, at least with 1Password: - You log with your 2FA into a device. - You set this device as trusted. - In case you lose your p

You should've left it after the first paragraph. The problem of journalism is one of scalability. Your run-of-the-mill software has good returns over periods way larger than the development time. Your average article has a low return o

Not an expert, but after reading around OP is saying you only need a constant sized buffer (that could be as little as a character deep) to read the whole file looking for line breaks. This roughly takes O(1) space (A lot of commenters ar

I don't want to sound dismissive, but isn't this just a problem with numerical instability? How is this different from trying to solve the following system? x^2+(2+y)*x+1=2 x^2+(2 -y)*x+1=3 And playing with the value of

How do you get to the conclusion that producers will want to reduce their output? If anything they will increase it, since the feedback loop that tells them when to cut back is now way slower, and most consumer facing would rather overprod

I would caution against using LCSC chinese ICs in general, the fact that they are available now does not mean that they will be available 6 months later. This can work for small productions where you’ll be stocking the full production bef

While the article centers specifically on Hungary, this is true on other countries as well. In Spain for instance the biggest recipients of such subsidies are the House of Alba, a family connected to the nobility. It's also well known

And you are talking software, which is known for being quite dynamic. You'd be surprised how much "inertia" there is in other sectors, some stuff keeps happening even when alternatives are not just better, but also cheaper .

I’m more worried about Google pulling the same stunt they did with the Gmap cars and having thousands of airborne wifi enabled devices trying to get into every wireless network they can find and collecting data from it.
