   That's a great goal, but it seems like their adoption of systemd is counterproductive to it. That init system seems to have created a lot of extra vulnerabilities. [1] [1] https://security.stackexchange.com/questions&

   Sorry I was vague. I don't know the reasons for the difference, but on my X230 OpenBSD seemed to have higher latencies in starting programs, and ran big programs like chromium slower than ubuntu and void did. Driver support is great,

   I just switched from ubuntu to OpenBSD, realized that it's not optimized for desktop usage, and have been happy with Void for a while now.

   See the subsection titled "Abstraction-based summarization" in the article. Basically, instead of copying important sentences verbatim (and spending all your analysis on choosing those sentences), rewrite entire paragraphs into ne

   I wish there were also tools like this that did paraphrasing. The article mentions the possibility, using deep learning, but doesn't go into any details; and I haven't seen anything that can summarize below the sentence level any

    I think you misread me...I was trying to make my sarcasm obvious. Did you notice that the snopes article was directly contradicted by the washington post article? I'm going to hold onto that link you sent. I've been wanting some g

    I'd be really interested to read that source, if you were to dig it up. It's nice to explore hard-science based alternatives to prevailing theories.

    I think he's also putting it off because nobody's going to talk about him once the series is finished, and he can't bear to lose the attention.

    I think the problem is, we intuitively estimate the readability of code based on the space it takes up, when we should take into account the information density. That code is extremely readable - if you assume it will take just as long to u

    It's a question of false positives and false negatives. Most medical tests have a decent percentage of both. > Screening test results may appear to be abnormal even though no cancer is present. A false-positive test result (one that

    I still see two things missing from currently available APL dialects: being able to compile programs, and being able to create a control loop (which is required for continuous access to data input). I wonder how much effort would be require
