If you are in a field where everything is being rewritten in Rust, then it may be a good idea to spend some time on it. It is not the case of every field though. Basically, Rust seems like a good replacement for most C++ applications. It of

What is that supposed to mean in English? In French it usually refers to the eponymous book from Rousseau, that basically explains that leaders powers are always in balance against the people's will to overthrow them and that there has

There is something I don't understand in the Chaebol strategy: Why is it considered a controlling share if it is less than 50%? I can see how owning 51% of a holding that then owns 51% of another company can be seen as a wealth multipl

I mentioned that work in a comment and realized that it is crazy that this is not more well-known. It shows how crappy mechanics with tons of backlash can be compensated by a smart control loop. I think it is really an important notions to

Depending on how much you are comfortable tinkering with control electronics and encoders, know that getting a good repeatability can just be a matter of tinkering with the control eletcronics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Funny how they ask it now that China took the lead in patents. Why does US only recognize a bad idea when they end up on the receiving end?

It should be taught somewhere at school that if your job involves lying, there is probably something deeply unethical about it.

To me, the important quote was this: > so a few dedicated nerds wanted to see how far we could get with that. In all honesty, we didn’t actually expect to get very far, but it was the height of a pandemic and we didn’t exactly have anyth

Yes, that's related to what I call the religion of paper. Here is its credo: Paper is official. Paper is non-falsifiable, especially if you stamp it. Paper can't lie. Paper comes with a date that is trustworthy. Paper can be sent

I fail to see your point. You are saying that communication can help developers be more efficient then you give an example of a good developer who did not need a team to develop a ground breaking product?

A while ago, a very simple agent I made had to do tasks in the maze and evaluate strategies to reach them. I wanted it to have no assumptions about the world, so it started with minimum knowledge. Its first plan was to try to remove walls,

How about that: starting a campaign to nominate her to a nobel prize. I am not sure at which she would qualify the most, but I am sure there are no shortage of academics to sing her praises (this is a condition for nomination)

I feel that her case is exactly what presidential pardons are about. Otherwise, write to whatever lawmaker represents you to talk about it, to ask for a change of law and to support asylum for her if she ever asks it. But for now Russia see

In this article they measure "boringness" by the amount of traffic news websites receive. It is a debatable metric but has the merit of being fairly objective.

We are all vulnerable to predatory lawyer trolls, whether we do things correctly or not. If you are accused of reusing a GPL code, then you ask clarification on which and you rewrite. It is likely to be just a snippet. I doubt Copilot would
