I'm not gonna bother quoting you to fisk you. Your approach towards my evidence is weak overall. I'm gonna throw more evidence at you. Miller and Dean Tribble have been working on WeakRefs lately: https://github.com&#x2

I get to be part of the discussions since I hack on E-related things. Mark Miller worked on E and then on Google's Caja (stands for 'Capability JavaScript'). He has been leading an effort to port features from Caja into ES vi

I am pleased to see that features from E continue to be smuggled into ES, like finally-style asynchronous cleanup and template literal enhancements. Edit: Downvotes can't undo our improvements to ES. We will drag JavaScript and its use

Let us analyze this further. Suppose that Alice browses 4chan. 4chan uses a Google image-classifying captcha. Alice is viewing user-generated content posted for free, including 4chan advertisements. When Alice chooses to post, she completes

I feel like users should be compensated for giving Google their time and mental energy since this is literally making users manually tag their machine-learning corpus for free.

As a resident of Oregon, I notice a curious pattern wherein shitty knockoff or generic products are more likely to carry the warnings, and the warnings don't say which ingredients caused the warnings to be issued. Doing reading on vari

Why did your ear, the outer part and the inner bones and the canal and the fluids and the brain, all evolve together in a way that grants Fourier analysis for free? Coincidence? Maybe maths could help us understand biology or other non-math

I've apparently read my last complimentary article for the month. Slate also has an article about this, so if it's a hoax, it's a very convincing hoax: https://slate.com/technology/2018/02/a-clo

I'll believe it when I see it; the authors are well-known for arbitrarily-long delays on upcoming releases as well as bare-bones git repositories with nothing inside. Unfortunately, I expect that this reference implementation will be a

You'd think so, but check out the 'smooth surprise' in Kahan's great writeup: https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~wkahan/Mindless.pdf We can approximate quite a bit, but ultimately further analysis is

No, the text is awesome. I read it over the weekend. As an amateur mathematician, don't worry about attempts to apply mathematics to the real world; mathematics is the pattern which emerges from the real world's incidental complex

Nix is for everybody; I don't do functional programming but I still use Nix for everything. If OpenBSD is simple, or C is simple, and Void is also simple, then it sounds like I should not bother trying out Void.

Why would one use Void instead of NixOS or another Nix-based distro?

While it might seem arrogant of the author to take this stance, the Sampling Theorem generalizes extremely well and is considered an extremely stable result. My favorite generalized Sampling Theorem is https://arxiv.org/abs&

To give context to all of the surrounding links, which are all about libel in the UK, remember that truth is not an absolute defense to libel in the UK. In addition, the burdens of evidence are different.

You mentioned elsewhere that you haven't been asked any hard questions. So, here's the question: Does this 'quality' of art exist in the things which we observe? Or is it subjective, existing only in the observer? Please

It's not just arrogant, it's disappointing. I could ask you to answer 'the big questions', to tell us what life means or what the teleological truth about our creators or why we seem to all broadly agree on quality of ar

People are uncomfortable with Malthusian conclusions when applying his model to other systems. Malthus highlighted a tension between the relative sizes of populations in certain resource-allocation games wherein a population both wants more

Books, as traditionally written, are too big for the amount of information which they typically contain. We need knowledge representation which is capable of coherently and consistently storing information in a more direct, relational forma

Discord's founders promised open-sourcing their client and API long ago. I don't think it'll ever happen. Still, it's great to see them contributing to the wider community. I am deeply disappointed by Discord's appr

Not sure whether this is being hyped extra due to Intel's desire to tar and feather AMD. Certainly, the FUD around where AMD's chips are made is other-than-honest, and many parts of the paper are blatantly speculative. One part of

Interesting syntax. Can Picat programs be run backwards or in other-than-expected directions, as in Prologs and Kanrens? This relational aspect is the killer feature of logical languages, and it would be unfortunate if Picat doesn't ha
