Msquic can be built as a driver. https://github.com/microsoft/msquic/blob/main/msquic.kernel....

Apple Watch 7 doesn’t measure BP. But yeah I get white coat syndrome every visit.

A much better article on this topic: https://www.nist.gov/pml/us-surveyfoot

nytimes slogs through boring narrative before describing the actual definitions of the two types of foot.

Are you claiming that flowers are shipped entirely (or even mostly) with unused transport capacity that would be otherwise wasted? Because that seems very unlikely.

The article seems to promise to explain the fundamental uncertainty of physics in simple terms, but it accepts axiomatically that physicists describe physical properties with probability distributions. Too bad.

A pinhole camera does have a large depth of field, but (due to diffraction) usually produces a less sharp image than a decent focused lens.

And with a moving subject, a lens obviously makes a sharper picture, since the pinhole requires such a long exposure.

Too complicated.

I think the problem with enthusiasm for unnecessary consumer goods is the environmental impact.

I do agree consumers don’t deserve condescension for geeking about technical details, but I still see it as at least ironic when somebody buys an overengineered product.

“the right question to ask is not whether a particular test is flaky, but how flaky it is”

Yet again, a problem is not solved but paved over by a new level of indirection, and the house of cards grows taller.

Passive voice can be used to omit the doer of the action, which is preferable when the action itself is the focus. The choice between active and passive voice should be based on this choice of focus. You can’t say categorically that the active voice is better than passive, classical rule of thumb notwithstanding.

Loving the incomplete set of kana keys.

They didn’t sell it to you, is the thing.

I’m not defending Apple, but I disagree that adding features is the same as innovation. I wish the tech industry would focus on quality over quantity.

Many research papers are undated too. It’s aggravating, but I can see why authors do it (especially for any blogs with ad revenue attached).

Taylor swift likely makes major ad revenue from YouTube.

I’d gauge luxury on necessity, not commonness.

The word "integrity" has a positive connotation, but it doesn't simply mean "goodness". It also means consistency. In that sense, it makes sense to call the way we act differently in front of different audiences a "lack of integrity".

So, I agree the statement is a bit robotic (specifically because it points out a natural part of human behavior as a character flaw), but not that it's twisted.

Hi, sorry, but “credibility” is the word you and GP want. “Credulity” has basically the opposite meaning. Sorry.

The opinion articles are on the same webpage, about the same topics as the “non-opinion” articles. The single indicator of the “opinion” status of these articles (which in the case of all papers mentioned here is just the word “opinion” above thw articles) is easy to miss on a skim.

If you ask me, the same journalism standards should apply to every word on the website of any news outlet that wants to claim to be “unbiased.” Whether a paper without opinion sections would stay in business is a good question of course.

Anyone got a specific search term that gave poor results on ddg compared to google or vice versa?

I see zero specific examples in the comments right now. For all I know, you people are searching for “howbakecarrotsovengsgshd”. In my experience there’s no difference in quality worth talking about between any of the popular search engines.

FYI, FillOrKill/ImmediateOrCancel are not the same as a day order.

FoK/IoC means “do not queue this order”. It’s immediately filled (or not) (or, for IoC, partially) based on whatever orders are already in the book, and then you’re done.

Whereas a day order is queued until the end of the day or until it’s filled, whichever comes first.

You are only better off in the sense of having more opportunities to collect rent from each other. The result is still zero-sum.

Here’s a mental shortcut: as long as the objective of the game is to bankrupt all other players (i.e. to own all of the money), the game is zero-sum. No other details matter. It’s a cake-cutting game where everybody wants all the cake.

You’re more likely to notice expensive cars, and also more likely to notice cars with unsafe drivers.

Teslas are more expensive than the average car (hence might be driven more carefully), and autopilot is more likely to be enabled in predictable driving environments like highways.

I’ve read some po-mo stuff (like Baudrillard). Terms are constantly used without clear definitions, and rather than a logical progression of thoughts it’s a snaggle of metaphors. That kind of reading is very thought-provoking, but it’s the antithesis of math.

This isn't "brute force." It's solving the specific problem posed rather than a generalization, which in this case is both easier and more efficient (since there are cases in which you could terminate the loop early).

You also hear people use “Intellectual Property” to refer to their favorite films. And extended conversations ranking revenues of different media franchises.

I’m sad that you seem to be the only commenter who is taken aback by the implicit commoditization here of not just art and entertainment, but also learning.

Yes, this! If you walk slow, then you walk in a straight line to the destination.

“You might consciously check in some bad code temporarily, intending to upgrade the code at some future point.“

The problem is how often devs forget about “temporary” code.
