I would consider an offer from coinbase over FAANG now based solely on this move by their CEO. I say this as someone who has worked at Apple, and bluntly told multiple Facebook-email bearing recruiters to F off.
Meanwhile I can’t believe Apple went to the trouble of an entirely new FS without implementing BTRFS style block-level checksums. The number of data corruption issues this could have prevented by now are too high to count. Not to mention there is a direct monetary incentive for Apple to do so, as it slightly inflates storage requirements at the cost of safety (and apple commonly stratifies their products by storage capacity). It’s 2020, we need ECC RAM and block level checksums for all new platforms going forward.
I looked up DDR5 on Wikipedia, but it seems like ECC is just an option, which I understand was an option with previous generations too (at a much higher cost). Please elaborate on the ECC part, especially if manufacturers have committed to making only ECC versions.
The high voltage sticker is ubiquitous. It's not representative of anything other than what it stands for: "high voltage".
If anything else it might be a decoy to scare away ... maybe nobody that would matter.
The mods only have themselves to blame. They create insanely broad rules allowing them to ban anything and then limit mod positions to concentrate their power.
The role of mods is to delete off topic submissions and remove illegal content. Nothing more.
The role of mods is to establish and maintain the community they wish to have in the space. That takes a lot more than deleting off-topic submissions and removing illegal content.
And deleting off topic submissions and removing illegal content is what they do the most. Just because you read that some seemingly related post got removed, does not mean everything the remove are those.
I admit, I don't understand the tendency of people like this to insist that their hyper-libertarian ruleset must be so. That for a community to have its own set of rules that they enforce is inherently wrong somehow.
That's not important in practice. What's important is that null infects all reference types in Java and C#, whether you asked for it or not. Just today I've spent a half an hour looking for a null dereference error - which the type system should've warned me of but didn't. The sad fact is, neither Java nor C# are fixable, because no new feature will fix the broken, null-unsafe code already written. All because of this billion dollar mistake that should've had no place in a GCed language but was blindly copied over from C++. The sooner Java gives way to Kotlin and completely fades into obscurity, the better.
The big difference is that nullability is the standard in Java and C# while in Swift it's the other way round, it's non-nullable unless you clearly indicate it's not.
Every time Orwell's 1984 is mentioned on the Internet it gets this exact followup comment about Brave New World. Not saying it's wrong, but this is just some kind of law of internet discussions.
The government at least ostensibly needs a warrant to access your communications to a smart device. Mandatory government surveillance and opt-in convenience products are not on the same plane.
You need to look at the source. Most Forbes content is bad, but this is Ethan Siegel's blog, which is usually pretty good.
The CERN article is also good, and the two don't actually contradict each other -- nobody is rebutting anybody else. An anomaly which has only a 5% chance of holding up still is extremely exciting. Probably not worth all the media attention it randomly got, but definitely worth more investigation by physicists.
I case anyone wasn’t already aware - Forbes.com allows just about anyone to publish on their platform. Their editorial standards are FAR more lax than the print publication that shares its name.
-Raptor is operating at previously unheard of pressure, and uses advanced new materials and heavily utilized GPU-powered flow simulations during design.
-it's super efficient. It's the first operational full flow staged combustion engine AFAIK. High thrust + High efficiency == a good time.
-it uses METHALOX fuel, which can be made on various celestial bodies somewhat easily (importantly: mars). Water + solar energy + CO2 == methane-oxygen fuel
-uses more difficult spark ignition w/unlimited restarts instead of more reliable but "cartridge" based TEA-TEB (sp?) igniters that rely on mixing volatile complex to manufacture toxic chemicals to start.
The test hopper has 1 engine. The orbital prototype will have 3. The production booster will have 31 of these bad boys and put out 2.0-2.7x the thrust of a saturn V
