I like folding phones that go from half to full size. Fits in my pocket and I still get a big screen when I want.
This misses the point. The individual health risk might be low, the societal response to the risk might severely impact your life regardless of your personal risk exposure.
To tire a comparison to human thinking, you can conceive of it as hallucinations too, we just have another layer behind the hallucinations that evaluates each one and tries to integrate them with what we believe to be…
The new Android foldables with edge-to-edge outer front screen are bearable, but then again you're paying flagship prices just so your phone fits into your pocket.
That really depends on what you're doing with the device I guess. For gaming, controllers will remain indispensable, and you're planning to disconnect from the real world for a while anyways. For everything else,…
The average individual contributor in a big company is not able to meaningfully influence whether they produce value or not. They might be stuck in a team or even department with an agenda that produces little value,…
Have you used the later versions of WSL (WSL 2 under Windows 11)? You have seamless bidirectional file system access, GUI applications that mesh with the rest of the desktop, can use Windows Terminal and have other tabs…
I admire your bravery for even trying to tackle this. Your rant about Emacs spoke to my soul. It's such a pain to use, but nothing else even comes close to playing the same game. I've been mulling over similar thoughts…
To know the magnitude of the most significant digit, you have to scan the whole number anyways. Looking for this info at the end of the number would be just as natural if you were used to it.
If you want a really in-depth intro into the topic (with video lectures and guest appearances from legendary VM implementers!), check out CS294 from UC Berkeley that has been made available under a Creative Commons…
There were a lot of complaints about UAT when it was first introduced, claiming it was too confusing for casual users. It was a factor in the huge unpopularity of Vista.
The matter is more simple, Facebook users are not Facebook customers, hence no customer support. Same story with free Google accounts.
I like https://www.codingame.com/ It has a very playful presentation and progress system, the challenges are nice and the solution steps usually can be visualized well. Also supports a lot of languages.
It depends on what you mean by purely functional, the lambda calculus certainly doesn't require stack frames. Even better, you can implement any programming language without a stack. Stack frames are only a convenience…
The most popular prebuilt machine learning framework, TensorFlow, has a Python API. This has helped its popularity in the area of data science where it was already big before thanks to iPython (now Jupyter)
Interesting musings. I think the author dismissed graphs a bit too early. Making lists another first-class object (e.g. by always having nodes be lists) might be a bit less elegant but would work for his constraints.…
This is a great point. Maybe there is a moral argument to be made here that we shouldn't punish people for actions they could not have prevented (since they don't have free will), but I see, my implicit assumption that…
Not necessarily, there could still be effects of true randomness that are not influenced by previous causes.
You mean notebook-style programming environments like Jupyter? They have kernels for a lot of languages. I think Emacs' org-mode can execute code embedded within the document as well. The concept you're thinking of is…
I don't think it's developed very actively, but a recent effort is PharoNOS: http://pillarhub.pharocloud.com/hub/mikefilonov/pharonos
