Do you have a source? Deeper Blue was only ever an unofficial nickname. The upgraded Deep Blue was still Deep Blue.

Yes, I guess Stockfish doesn't bother to consider a draw on the 50 move rule. It does, iirc, go for a draw if it has no better via threefold repetition.

Indeed, and same with Stockfish 13 running locally.

Stockfish 12 (280920) on my phone rates black as up 19.71

Interesting, I have a Pixel 5 and use the built-in camera app. When I point it at a QR code it presents me with a URL at the bottom to tap on. I can either do this or ignore it and take a photo of the QR code

Hope they add it to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

Pretending it's an integral type leads to all sorts of conceptual mistakes, imho. It has almost no comparable semantics to integers.

It's incorrect to call a pointer an integral type. It doesn't behave like an integer (you can't add two pointers together). You can't even subtract two pointers from each other unless they point into the same array (or one element past) without causing undefined behaviour. You can't even reliably convert a pointer generally to an integer and back again unless it's a void *.

Edit: just remembered I wrote a rambling on this in 2014: https://ramblings.implicit.net/c/2014/04/21/pointers-are-not...

One of my favourite instances of this was in podcasts where Cards Against Humanity sponsored and just sent one of the podcasters toasters to review: https://cardsagainsthumanity.com/toasters/

Nothing else was said about the sponsor's product. There should be more sponsors like that.

Maybe not the "home page" you asked for, but https://github.com/derailed/k9s gives all the info I need/want for an amazing front end.

That gets a good private plan here. Also that's after a large corporate discount

AU FAANG pay for health insurance too.

Agree with parent completely. Also, maybe this is a rationalisation for not moving to SV but our software dev salaries are more than enough to live a very comfortable lifestyle. Sure, we're not going to retire in 5 years and cruise around on our yachts, but if you're beyond chasing material goods for status then living and working in Sydney in this industry is pretty great.

This, and Google in Sydney vs London for the same role certainly does not pay 5-7x. Sydney L5 SWE is around 300-350K AUD total comp. If an L5 SWE in London gets 1.5M I'll eat my hat :)

I'm sure SF is more expensive, not sure about Mountain View, Palo Alto, etc.

Maybe it's chill compared to other FAANG. I hear horror stories from Googlers in Seattle that are ex Amazon

In Sydney It's generally fine to arrive at 9 and leave at 5 as long as you produce reasonable output. In SV I noticed almost everyone worked way over 40 hours per week, overtime was the expectation and the norm.

I would assume this is not across all teams in all cases, just my first hand experience and also second hand anecdotes from colleagues.

To be fair we have it far easier in Sydney than over in Silicon Valley. For example most (but not all) Sydney Googlers choose to stay in Sydney even though they have the chance to relocate to e.g. Mountain View or Sunnyvale for more than double the comp. This is because of the work life balance and culture here in Sydney compared to over there.

(I worked at Google Sydney for 5 years)

> Switzerland $95,753 Australia $85,167 Denmark $73,017 United States $71,858

This is a bit misleading taken at face value as the US has loads of smaller cities with far lower cost of living whereas almost all of Australia's software jobs are in Sydney, Melbourne and smaller capitals. The Silicon Valley wages are at least twice as good as Sydney and nowhere near a proportional cost of living increase.

Same, with regard to audiobooks. The only thing I find them useful for is helping me get to sleep.

Kodi ignores "The" for sorting purposes but still displays it on the titles

Chrome will just attempt https first when you type something in your browser without an explicit http:// prefix. If the https:// connection fails, it will fall back to http.

I've had this problem for years, outside of the phone factor. For this very reason, as others have said, I keep my phone on so not disturb 24/7 except if my wife calls.

However, open offices drive me nuts because of the mere threat of a potential interrupt, even if in practice it may happen only once or twice a day.

Let's see. 111.4 billion dollars of revenue last quarter.

2 million dollars/(111.4 billion dollars per 0.25 years) ≈ 2.36 minutes of revenue. Yup, that'll show 'em.

Step 0: don't work somewhere with corporate spyware. I know, I know, but it's nice to dream.

> When I saw it I just thought it was needlessly redundant.

Isn't "needlessly" redundant there? :p

It's called homeopathy.

Yes, there are many instances of project naming collisions. As long as they're not accomplishing similar tasks I don't think it's much of an issue.
