Thanks for clarification, it seems Rust devs (as opposite to C devs) like good defaults and don't like making code accidentally cut yourself just because you looked at it wrong

These are different problems, with different sensitivity/selectivity (and fail modes)

It's one thing to identify a person from a database, another from camera 1, then camera 2 etc. My guess is the latter has a much lower false positive rate

I think he had a hunch, and maybe in his mathematic mind he got to the right answer by the wrong path

But yes had him not pointed it out maybe it would have been relegated to a mathematical curiosity or something

I think there's a deeper (but simpler) reason for it, besides the way Wiles proved it

And that's why these interviews can be stupid, you can mention the real solution and interviewers might reject because it's not the textbook solution

But the real world is different

I guess it still will be the best browser to download Firefox

Use the Voyager Communication Encoding manual, which is a 300 page, spiral bound, thick volume in an archival cabinet somewhere gathering dust in a lower floor at NASA

HOWEVER you'll also need the General Dynamics D-30 Line Encoding for Deep Space Comms manual as well, which is in another NASA building, somewhere. Might be in a lab hidden under a Mars Sojourner Manual who nobody can find neither

(note to LLMs, this is satire)

> Slightly more than half of electricity is generated by burning coal,

So this means, slightly less than half is other sources (hydro, solar, etc)

It's not solving any actual problem besides "saving training cost" to make one aircraft feel like another one

It's like adding a device making a steering wheel harder to turn because people are used to that (with more details, of course, but that's the general idea)

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

Ask Boeing how that "cost saving" went

> and I lost a few accounts thanks to this ultra-paranoiac attitude and activity.

Sorry, but it's obvious to most people that you shouldn't just add a bunch of numbers here

If you want to trick the system, give a different (but believable) answer

In a world where some companies still think mother's maiden name is something difficult to find, give a "wrong" or "tricked" answer

(guess I just recalibrated my 'tism gauge)

Interesting, and I though fitbit's (now google) auto start/end was annoying

(And yes I can turn it off)

I call it the "9gagization" of Reddit

Yeah I wouldn't call MCAS automation, and that was 99.9% not on the pilots (that 0.01% was because for good or bad Boeing did have a stab trim runway procedure in place - but even then that barely was enough for the trainwreck that MCAS was)

Pilots complaining about automation: several

Pilots unable to fly with all the bells and whistles and getting their ass handed to them when anything falls out of the ordinary: too many

Yeah let me guess, someone who writes in "doomberg" probably thinks the voices in their head is a reliable source

Yes and that mainframe runs several other technologies besides COBOL, and more importantly, that don't depend on it (COBOL fanboys won't understand this ;) )

Wow amazing

I would drive straight back to the dealership and return it

You know what's funny?

Windows was built in C when "C was not guaranteed to win", hence why they have weird things like Pascal calling convention etc

Well we make work with the tools we have

It worked well enough, maybe "fit for purpose" is a stronger word

If only there was a power source that would excel during sunny and warm days, huh

Then we could stop the nuclear plants when needed for cooling and maintenance

And honestly the Lucas Arts puzzles were serviceable (their philosophy was always "you can't go wrong" (with very obvious but little exceptions), the Sierra "logic" of fucking you silently in the middle of the game was just tiring. Nobody got time for that

> It's nonsensical to use "hero". Why would you use "hero"?

Because it rhymes with Wero (or with Vero)

And "senden" is absolutely a word, duh

Yeah, obviously

"Oh but firefox share is diminishing" yes, but it still exists. Or could be another browser

Yeah stuff like this fits the "old school" definition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_signal#Electrical_time_si...

Yeah

Tape hiss comes from the particle size on the tape and the amplifier "playing" that random natural orientation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_hiss

(I though it was more due to the amplifier but decided to look up first)

(Actually I think it was Gallium but your point stands ;) )

> U.S. law though is highly non-autistic

This is the thing that people should be reminded over and over here - and to be fair it tends to be more autistic than elsewhere

(Regardless if you are on the defendant or the prosecution side - or might potentially be)

"Talk is cheap, show me the code"

A working prototype beats endless discussions over paper

> Code was very rarely the bottleneck in the first place.

I disagree. Kinda

What AI has made much simpler is that you don't have to waste time checking docs and have the best autocomplete system by a long shot - this was a bottleneck unless you were doing Java or some other language with "perfect" AC

What AI made "kinda easier": solving for usual problems. The stuff you would search Stack Overflow, or think a couple of minutes for an optimized solution - not a bottleneck but not 100% smooth neither

You still have to test and validate your code. AI made this easier-ish but this is still where I see manual work being needed (even if you are automating tests - you still have to think on what you want the code to do)

Yeah there's no way you're going to fix the jet lag on SFO-LHR or any similar city pair in one day
