> I'm going to guess that you're a really good shape that a 2 km walk isn't a big deal, but I don't think most Americans can do that.
Shit that's horrifying.
I have health issues and walking 2km a day to try to help fix. So I see 2km a day as basic. 6-10km run a day would be "fit" IMO. things as humans are designed to walk.
Living in suburbia means I have to walk "for the sake of it" although I cam make it useful e.g. get some milk!
As for cold. Anything above minus 5 should be OK just wear stuff like skiiers wear which can be got cheap off brand.

Looks like the 72/90 is actually from shadow banning.
But to answer whose opinions do you want to ban? Who is speaking correctly?

Thanks. So sounds like the same machine should run the same calculations and get the same results each time, but differences may appear between machines.

Startups might be the new SDE1 while trying to do stuff outside of capitalism might be the new startup.
Not in terms of financial reward of course. But in terms of rewarding career off the beaten path.
Personally while I want to do a startup I am finding the boring path you mention quite fascinating!

Do you have any feeling as to why it only lasted 4 months. Sounds unusual to have the spot on CFS like experience for such a short time so wonder if there was a trigger to recovery.

Root causes I suspect. The problem of a syndrome.

Was a root cause done on that? Was it due to wind power?

Thanks! So machine differences in their FP units drives the entropy, and the code doesn't handle that when picking eigenvectors?

It is good for ballparking. PR count is more interesting as if it is high it means you must have a good CI CD pipeline. I worked places where there were limits on commits a day due to monolith plus master CI/CD taking an hour. You then end up thinking of strategies like "I'll do that in the afternoon and get it to that state and it gets merged at this time" and so on. Which is inefficient.

Not every PR is a feature. There will be lots of laying groundwork. Stuff going in but not yet activated as a feature flag. Small changes often make roll back easier. Regressions easier to detect. You can blue green your little change and auto detect if it is causing latency or availability issues on 1% then 10% etc. of traffic. This means you can early detect and do easy roll backs as nothing much has changed.
Downside: your code is always a Frankenstein monster of feature flags that need to be cleared up! But hey that's more PRs to boast about.

Yeah I get itchy if the pipeline to prod ain't working for more than 24h for one microservice. I love continuous deployment.

Nice. C looks like a safe language with the casual using an int as a bool.

I don't grok this but if you had to describe it in a nutshell, is this because of a race condition? Differences in HW? Floating point ops have some randomness built in?

More like the country bans the sales of cannnabis but you are allowed to grow your own, so you buy some lamps etc.

If you could get some YT influencers to take it a look (or sponsor them) I think that might work than app store optimisation. There is too much competition on app/play stores even 10 years ago when I last looked.

Try to get your head around this while simultaneously not thinking of gravity as a force but curvature in spacetime.

Re:Ask HN: How do you promote your personal project in limited bugget?
on Thursday May 22, 2025 @03:44AM (#44059686)
Depends on the project. For an AI code generator like yours it is hard because there is so much noise in this space to stand out. If it really hits with Java devs, maybe speak about it at Java conferences? But make sure it's a kick assignment product first.
Re:Decibels Are Ridiculous

They are units too. When you have regulations relating to sound they will say how many dB the limit is.
