  1. A single bun? Is that really newsworthy?
  2. Microsoft is actually just a group of people as well.
  3. yep, it sounds like the first implementation step really should have been to gather a large test set of data and develop the system with that in mind after understanding the test data, starting with making tests from the test data.
  4. yes, that's the joke :)
  5. the reproduction is always fake to some extent, that does not matter, the point is to do as good a job as you can.

    for example you can have a fake transaction server with the credit card numbers made up and mapped to fake accounts that always have enough money, unless the records show they did not.

  6. Swiss people can't ever grasp html
  7. surely you have logs from the production systems? just gather the logs and run them through the dev box. verify the end result matches between the two. You dont actually need the dev box to sit next to the production system.
  8. again, read what the topic of conversation is
  9. it is extremely linear (in Sweden)
  10. Code review exists.
  11. reading comprehension

    the topic is fertility collapse due to prosperity

    the point is, is that actually the core issue?

  12. income correlates with fertility in for example Sweden where the highest income bracket has 2.1 children.
  13. there can be no hole on the cd shaped object, technically disc is the word to use but the point of the sentence is to provide a vivid picture
  14. The position of the points on the surface can be changed without worrying about the topology and its the topology we are worried about
  15. It just depends on what architecture your computer has.

    On a PC, the CPU typically has exclusive access to system RAM, while the GPU has its own dedicated VRAM. The graphics driver runs code on both the CPU and the GPU since the GPU has its own embedded processor so data is constantly being copied back and forth between the two memory pools.

    Mobile platforms like the iPhone or macOS laptops are different: they use unified memory, meaning the CPU and GPU share the same physical RAM. That makes it possible to allocate a Metal surface that both can access, so the CPU can modify it and the GPU can display it directly.

    However, you won’t get good frame rates on a MacBook if you try to draw a full-screen, pixel-perfect surface entirely on the CPU it just can’t push pixels that fast. But you can write a software renderer where the CPU updates pixels and the GPU displays them, without copying the surface around.

  16. A manifold is a surface that you can put a cd shaped object on in any place on the surface, you can change the radius of the cd but it has to have some radius above 0.
  17. I have had these exact issues a lot with codex (gpt-5-codex)
  18. your very measuring stick (balanced, far-right) has bias built in to it
  19. adding more skin colors and gender won't help my jira tickets get done quicker?

    maybe we should reevaluate to do more along the lines of diverse personality types and personal histories instead
