Ghandi notoriously nukes EVERYONE in Civs 2 through 4. It's become (or maybe became, but it's still all training data) a huge internet subculture. Penny to a dollar this is a baked in training issue, through low quality…
This was the line that did for me, as an old school backend engineer who has accidentally deleted way more production databases than I have fingers over the years - > We have restored from a three-month-old backup. You…
Is English your first language? If it isn't, I completely agree with you. However if it is, then I would make the argument that it's exactly the right way to teach it, particularly to young people. As you point out,…
I guess it depends. There's been a major issue in the UK for a while regarding quite a few very iconic, decades old, live music venues. Back in the day they were in less salubrious areas of town so no one really cared,…
Slightly on topic - anyone remember LeapMotion and is anyone aware of any current support for that? Found an original one in a drawer when I was having a clearout the other day
Yeah, but people who grow or sell flowers are not on the same level as the very very good engineers who develop these dystopian systems. The people in the advertising industry who make these systems could absolutely do…
And I would argue that this very quickly becomes a race to the bottom, where the viewing of mass produced trash accelerates because "that's what people want to watch" becomes "we'll flood the market with cheap mass…
I love Vim. I use it pretty much exclusively. I found it very funny. So, yes.
Ah! ok - that makes sense. Thank you. So it would be a specialised chip with a load of hardcoded functions, kind of like an ASIC?
Even if it is a cheap one, it's still wrong. I have the same visceral gut reaction to seeing a musical instrument get destroyed as I do to seeing a book burnt. I own a lot of very expensive, very nice instruments.…
I've had a driving licence in the UK for 26 years, and have never once paid for my fuel before filling up. This is normal everywhere in Europe at least, to the point where I suspect the US is the outlier
As a kid, I learnt violin and trombone to a very high orchestra level standard, and could read sheet music from a very early age. I then moved on in my late twenties to guitar, bass and keyboard in a rock band, and…
It's also not unheard of for native English speakers to use it differently (in speech, at least) as a consequence of regional accents. I would use "a history book", because my accent pronounces the h sound. My wife says…
I don't know how it works in the US (and tbf, I'm not much wiser after reading this article), but the UK it falls under trade dressing - eg the Royal Mail have rights to use one shade of red on postboxes and delivery…
I mean, cool. If you're already an athletic freak who can do this for a couple of hours at a time with a massive room with no furniture in. You're basically describing Wii Sports, which was a great novelty at the time.…

Not for me. It's the new one too.
The status page is now showing some dramatic drops in everything but error rates, which are through the roof. It's not just old.reddit either, its the new abomination too
Or indeed the New York Post posting a factually correct article about a laptop. Incidentally, as someone from the UK who was unfortunate enough to have him as my MP for years, I'll also point out that Nick Clegg is one…
It's the Gell-Mann amnesia effect (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Crichton#GellMannAmn...) in full flow. Journalists, almost entirely as a group, are experts in nothing. Colossaly ill informed on every subject,…
This is an eye opening thread, to say the least https://twitter.com/christogrozev/status/1500959074653024259
Zero chance of them doing anything about the games basically being 90 minute Gazprom adverts though
It's anyone with a HSBC or Barclaycard credit card, so probably quite a lot of people
As someone who grew up on a small beef farm in the UK but is also very picky about the source of the meat he eats, my personal anecdotal experience is that vegan or meat eater, the problem is that the vast majority of…
