Ohh, the hard work theater... Humans love human sacrifices, all the ancient cultures did it. Human's effort is not linear. Try this: Go outside, measure some distance by counting steps, like 500 meters, or measure it…
A very important thing with software is that the most painful work can be done by the computer itself. Tools like Lisp are essential in your toolbox for whatever language you use for coding. If you can script and…
I use Zotero. The native UI search is horrible and is very slow as it needs to load gigabytes of info but it uses SQLite internally and I use my own software for doing serious things. The author of the article is…
I got so frustrated with CAPTCHAs that started using my computer's visual and natural language recognition software to solve them. It works much better than me at solving those stupid puzzles. It is great because if the…
>Back in the day I got my weekly homeopathic dose of assembly language from a local home computer magazine. I had the same experience, until I (we)found that the knowledge of those magazines were taken from books, so…
> There’s no question that Apple has struggled to craft a cohesive, compelling narrative for the iPad... We know what it’s good for, and we can easily imagine what it could be good for, if only Apple would set it free.…
The great thing about Autobahns is freedom. If I travel in Spain, the speed limit is 120km/h. Now they have removed the 20 kms/h extra you could do for overtaking other cars. It is ludicrous. Everybody goes over the…
I agree with you. I was in Spain, and Maradona played there while he was not yet the shadow of himself that became later. Lots of people admired this man but when he started doing stupid things like being totally drunk…
It is a simple process, everything that you do in a language needs to be mapped into lower level instructions. If the lower level hardware instruction does not exist, you use multiple of other instructions to emulate…
Most of the time, it is not plastics themselves, but the hundreds of chemical additives that each plastic has, like plastifiers, ph and surface tension modifiers. The most important is hormone-like compounds like…
I think this is not sad, they are free to demand whatever they want, like you are free to accept that. In fact, it is not a very good idea to accept that. You will be labeled instantly as "provider", not as a "lover".…
For me the testing process feels painful and slow. I believe the best way to know the illness is through controlled infection of volunteers. I would have volunteered myself. I have been around people risking their lives…
I talked with a Spanish scientist that has developed a vaccine for covid and other vaccines for other illnesses before that. He said something like that most of the work in testing is for the "carrier" or something like…
You need a hardware USB logger. The expensive ones makes things much easier. Cutter is a program for the disassembly of programs. In order to use it you need knowledge of assembly, and that usually takes at least a year…
That is something that must be done, but not by facebook. It should be done by public and private institutions with a clear control of the data real access and ownership. The problem with cloud providers is that you can…
"What made TSMC so successful? Is it primarily thanks to their business strategy?" Basically they are riding the new wave of cheap devices that outnumber the x86 devices by 10x 20x. Basically everything uses an ARM CPU…
You simply don't understand. Do you suffer for thinking on English? Do you suffer for driving your car and changing gears? Do you suffer for using a pen for writing? You can try to write with the hand you don't usually…
The difference between a modal editor and a GUI one is that in the GUI one, the commands are organized in the menu and you access this mode(the menu display mode) by clicking instead of pressing a key. In fact, if you…
It's up to you. You should have much more knowledge in the agriculture field than most people. I believe it makes no sense that you discard the knowledge you already have. You can apply data science methods with the…
Vim is a tool. The more knowledge you have, the more powerful it becomes. Vim was my first editor in Linux. Before that I used Borland, VS(Visual studio) and MASM(Microsoft assembler) editors. After learning regular…
"There isn't a single country in the entire world that could challenge USA to a 1-1 military battle." That was also true of Nazi Germany. But is actually quite possible to defeat USA on the seas and on land if different…
I studied in Europe's Universities and met and befriend a lot of smart people coming from lower classes families. The number one problem with them is they being "penny wise, dollar fools". They had been trained all…
PS: You also need to understand that everybody is different. I am incredible good remembering faces and facial expressions, very good remembering places. I see a place on a picture, I know where it is if I have traveled…
I thought I had bad recall, but the fact is that I did not know about the memory. I have trained people in my environment and they have improved enormously. It is a very good idea that you read a book about mnemonics,…
It is interesting because for me it was obvious that Jane will be the easiest to lie to by far. John knows you much better. Usually psychopaths and sociopaths are always moving so people don't know who they are and they…
