Since the spelling reform of 1996 both are spelled Föhn

GPT 4 gave me this answer:

In this variant of the Monty Hall problem, since all the doors are transparent, you can clearly see what is behind each door. This changes the nature of the problem entirely. The element of uncertainty, which is present in the original Monty Hall problem, is no longer a factor.

In this scenario, if you pick door No. 1 and see a car behind it, you should stick with your choice, as there is no advantage to switching. If you pick door No. 1 and see a goat behind it, you should switch to door No. 2, as you can clearly see the car behind it.

Since you can see what's behind the doors, the probability of winning the car is no longer based on conditional probability, and the original Monty Hall paradox does not apply. Instead, your decision is simply based on your observation of what's behind each door.

Curious that they translated it to German based on my phone settings for a product that only supports US banks? (I don’t mind that it is US banks, just… why did they pay a human to translate it?)

The game has an end, and you can get there in a much more reasonable amount of time.

Also noteworthy that on Intel at least, using AVX/AVX2 reduces the frequency of the CPU for a while. It can even go below base clock.

I've never quite understood the appeal of Dependency Injection. What's wrong with just using constructors?

Pardon my ignorance: How did Solaris solve this?

The fact that it showed me a pop-up advert for an Ayn Rand book was also indicative.

In 1517174122 daylight saving time is so obsolete...

A quick google says:

<<According to Title 3 of the US Code, the US President "shall earn" a salary of $400,000, along with a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 nontaxable travel account, and $19,000 for entertainment.>>

Where can a mediocre software developer get $450K+?!

The article spends 4 paragraphs on them. Just one example:

    Although AMD’s response in the forum was that these were isolated issues, phoronix was able to
    reproduce crashes by running a stress test that consists of compiling a number of open source
    programs. They report they were able to get 53 segfaults with one hour of attempted compilation.

In a five party system, it is quite common for voters to not feel too much allegiance to any party in particular.

The very article mentions at the bottom that AMD has its fair share of nasty bugs recently, too. If anything, I would expect AMD to spend even less effort on validation (because they are not flush with cash).
