Not necessarily. According to philosopher Paavo Pylkkänen, Bohm's suggestion of the quantum mind "leads naturally to the assumption that the physical correlate of the logical thinking process is at the classically…
There are theories [1] that part of the brain's function might work at the quantum level. If true, we probably won't be able to really understand what happens by measuring it this way... [1]…

A friend of mine, from Romania, has fond memories of his youth under the communist rule of Nicolae Ceaușescu, being always reminded how great the leader was and how he admired him as a kid. He discovered later he was…
On a mac I can't live without "Magnet" [1]. It lets you do organize your windows in half/thirds of screens with simple keystrokes. That should be part of the OS. [1] https://apps.apple.com/us/app/magnet/id441258766?mt=12
After years of struggling with config file in heterogenous production environments, I'll argue the opposite: environment variables are the BEST option to manage your configuration.
Nocebo effect is proven for vaccines. Even if we inject salted water: many will develop fevers, arm pain, headaches, nausea, ... (because they expect such symptoms). In some cases, as many as 90% of observed side…
Great achievement. One remark though, it sounds like the author does a lot of assumptions that something is better without actually benchmarking before and after. On those kind of projects, one should measure the impact…
I never run it manually. I plug this tool in my scripts that import transactions from banks (and stripe). The scripts extract transaction details (amount, payee, currency), then they use `ledger-guesser` to create…
I use ledger-cli + ledger-guesser [1], which uses use machine learning (brain.js) to classify entries automatically. I've been relying on this for the last 3 years, it works very well. [1]…
Funny how "lottery" is the word that comes out the most when we talk about making games for a living. Big studios solve this by publishing games by the hundreds.
Game publishing is a numbers game. Most games go unnoticed, very few will break even, only "lottery winners" will make real money. The stores are full of well executed games with original ideas that you/we never heard…
"vim only provides basic text editing functionality by default" It looks like someone has never read the vim manual.
Some bits of text are missing (because of badly written CSS I assume), stuff floating in front of the text... I definitely stopped reading before the average 40% of content: annoying layout.
A manager gave him the "senior" title. Where I am, "senior" means "experienced". When you need a senior developer in a team, means you need someone that went through many projects and know the errors and mistakes a team…
Thanks, those log-scale plots are way more interesting than linear one. Small mistake: Israel isn't in Europe but in Eastern Mediterranean.
You'll also hear frequently "rabza" for "les arabes". The liaison between the "s" and "a", prononced "za", is incorporated in into the next word before it is inverted.
I'm French. My grand father used this form of slang with friends when he was young so they didn't get understood by others. I've leaved in many parts of France and never heard anyone use it, probably long dead?
AFAIK, Telegram's private conversations are encrypted with private keys stored on device _only_ (not on the server). At least it's what they claim. If true, government requests for data stored on servers are probably…
There's one privately owned generator in the neighborhood with cables running to each buildings. https://browse.startpage.com/do/show_picture.pl?l=english&ra... The owner sells a fixed monthly fee per 5 amp, so there…
I tried that in a different context... The problem if you're managing many servers is that you'll have to setup a different local port for each server. When I needed it, I had to go check the .ssh/config each time to…
They're more practical: ssh into the server. start the tool. [do your stuff]... close the tool. close ssh session. With a web UI: ssh into the server. find out you want to check your containers statuses. ssh again while…
Unix has this built-in tool called "su" that allows you to "sandbox" different parts of the filesystem. Pretty handy. "su - project1"
Adding to the list of ideas: * A flat probability distribution for "will take between X and Y" is probably wrong, a bell curve would be more accurate (where X and Y are the 95% percentile). Another question: is it…
