That is exactly why I said that that only comes in once you publish something. The legal argument isn't as strong as the moral one is for me anyway, I never publish anything. I think making a PR isn't forcing code on…
Eh, most of the time you do have to publish it. MIT/BSD/Apache allows you not to, but most big projects are using LGPL or another share-alike license. With those, if you're making a project that you do publish (e.g. a…
That'd be a nice way of looking at it, if serving content was cheap. It is not. I want to put my CV online, but I'm not willing to shill out tens of thousands every year to have it scraped for gigabytes per day. Doesn't…
Putting stress on the concrete requires force, and causes the concrete to deflect. Force over displacement is work, and energy can't be lost to nothingness by just breaking the concrete. Thus, the concrete releases the…
more than 3 chips, basically
Yeah, C++ enums are just numbers that are really good at pretending to be types. And for that reason they're not actually objects that contain things like their name. And they probably shouldn't, in the vast majority of…
wow that's really evil of them i quite don't like them for this as i too played garrys mod back in the day and it pains me to see such a loss of community effort and beloved mods
It sort of isn't though. You put it there and you don't take it away. You don't put anything else in there to load it. It stops loading entirely if you take out the ethernet cable. That kind of seems like it's loading…
It's not really saying "only expert programmers" though, is it? It's people who know Haskell, which by coincidence happens to be overzealous undergraduates and a certain subset of experienced programmers. FP is a…
Ah, sorry, one of those situations where you think about what you'll write and don't end up writing it down. I am of course referring to the inverse in the second sentence, moving data into a brain from a computer.…
Whatever Neuralink is missing, it's none of these things. They're certainly missing a lot, as is their owner, but it's absolutely none of these things. Like, we've been using brain electrodes to control devices for a…
I don't think currying happens without you asking to, though. It happens because it happens, it's part of the language, and it's something you implicitly keep in the back of your mind every time you see a function call.…
It is in most places. At least in Europe where I live there's a limit of 12 years old for cycling on sidewalks and pedways marked with only a pedestrian sign, whereas sidewalks which are wide enough and marked with both…
That's already an issue with cars. Most EVs beep or sing or hiss quite loudly when you put them in reverse gear and at low speeds where tyre noise is low they have to augment with ICE and/or whining sounds to not be so…
Sensors form a big issue, though. The newer Teslas especially are excellent at ruining safety sensors for the rest of the industry. Now instead of turning your head left to look left and see your blind spot out of what…
Yeah, I would guess Iowa is quieter. LAPD is one of those archetypal failing police organizations, with so much on their plate even their own officers form organized criminal gangs. No wonder they don't have time for…
Solvable, yes, but at least in Europe it is currently dirtier than anthracite coal due to leakages in lifetime emissions. Solvable but not solved, and we really should be looking for solutions.
Eh, that's true, and that's a convenient way of doing intermediate representation, since its very machine-friendly. But really, finite state machines are just callbacks, just as generators can be treated as just…
It's not really just keeping snapshots that is the issue, usually. It's just normal FS operation, meant to prevent data corruption if any of these actions is interrupted, as well as various space-saving measures. Some…
Yeah, Microsoft looked at callback hell, realized that they had seen this one before, dipped into the design docs for F# and lifted out the syntactic sugar of monads. And it worked fine. But really, async/await is…
It's not orthogonal, though. We had online encyclopedias for around a decade, they functioned extremely well, and it was the way people got their information. During the latter part of that decade fiwiki started to…
Wikipedia displaced traditional encyclopedias. The number of encyclopedias produced in Finnish fell from ~10 to 1 in the last two decades, that one being fiwiki. The same is true for many languages. What once was a…
Being published in Nature basically means that your paper is fine as far as review can see and that it could have a large impact. It retracts all the time.
No, it's very close to useless. This is exactly the kind of thing that experienced developers talk about when they warn that inexperienced developers using ChatGPT could easily be a disaster. It's the attempt to use a…
Character rendering and recognition breaks with characters outside plane 0 (BMP), however, normalization seems to still work correctly. For example, [◌𑄮] u+11131 u+11127 (two characters) is interpreted as five…
