ID_AA_Carmack Someone noticed that when you have hundreds / thousands of cores in a supercomputer, the individual utilization boxes in Task Manager start to look like pixels. People started making pictures by doing different amounts of work on specific processors.

robertgriesemer The result is 0. The Go parser cannot tell if int(0,) is a conversion or a function call without type information. Per the spec, a call permits a trailing comma; a conversion doesn't. This is a "zero-day" bug in the spec, or the compiler.

"Instead of timidly admitting to our various privileges, let’s ask ourselves what a world where all black life matters everywhere would look like – and accept nothing else."

"Capitalism’s inseparability from anti-black racism lives on through neocolonialism, which compounds black suffering across Africa through extractive, ecologically damaging multinational corporations, the predatory practices of(…)lending agencies, and(…)military intervention."

"Racial capitalism, as a term popularised by the scholar Cedric Robinson (with its roots in apartheid-era South Africa), is a way of understanding capitalism’s processes of exploiting who it racialises and racialising who it exploits."

"To the privilege-renouncer, there is little need to address an inconvenient fact: the immense economic order that spans the globe has historically needed a black underclass, both domestically and overseas, to survive." amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

sarahookr The technical interview format is broken.
Nice to see some research backing up what everyone already knows.

ojahnn I always find it so silly and unrealistic when characters on TV shows give exhaustive context in each conversation they have, to catch up viewers, but - today I realized I do the same thing in my biweekly meetings with my supervisor, I literally have a "previously on..." routine

@wayfu See also: motor theory of speech perception. In that context I once heard it said that under certain circumstances, people can get hoarse from just listening because their own vocal tract subconsciously imitates what is heard. Not sure if true though.
