Operator overloading has been a feature of many languages dating back to the very concept of using operator notation in programming. I know of no language that has the * operator dedicated solely to a single type. Typically you have at leas

You're welcome, but your point was not very clear.

This is a fundamentally flawed way of questionning, "knowing all the laws of physics" is probably impossible to achieve, but we still produce accurate predictions for a lot of phenomena. You can see that we do in fact "replic

I've been using pandoc + rst + beamer for producing very large (1000's) training slide decks, and pdf2latex is so slow that using a CI to generate the 10's of decks configurations in parallel makes for a very valid use case,

One way is to set up a flottila of sensors around a certified control sensor, such as an aerotrack, and measure how they evolve in regards to age, temperature, wind, level of pollutants, ans measurement time. That is a pretty rich task, bec

Membrane sensors have to get very high in temp locally in order to do a membrane cleanup, thos being large compared to a temp probe, the probe is probably catching of the heat because it is not properly isolated. Some SW model for heat flux

Specialized ASICs are not easy to come up with, what's more if it's in a tug of war you can expect those to suddenly become obsolete, rendering this approach too costly for a scrapper. Also you may have missed the part in the orig

Hey there, I've been privately toying for some times with the idea of repository governance that would based around some democratic principles, and I've finally put up the time to get to something that works, and looks like it cou

In my own experience people typically do that when they have some experience in bash, none in python, and try to do something in python the way they would do it in bash. So for those my advice, instead of getting back again to bash is to ge

As you said, you can pass physical property, why would you need that to be extended to other area on top of it ? I mean you would think that inheriting the actual capital generated by the art pieces, on top of the unsold original pieces, wo

Yes, what some programmer don't really understand from atop their STEM superiority complex is that, similar to how you wouldn't be called a good programmer if you never actually write code; you don't really get considered a r

To be clear, the official role of HR is to protect the company, which objectives are defined by the owners, represented by the board, not the CEO. Goals of the CEO and the board may align, but they may not, in that latter case a non-corrupt

I guess they meant paradoxical. Being a security company they are juicy target for an attacker's rep, meaning they are in the situation where they are both more protected than usual but also more at risk. That's the arm's ra

If you're not into chinese cooking, there is also some cooked lettuce in French cuisine, with petit pois à la française. That's in season too!

That view of the development process is a bit reductive, I'm not sure the dev working on fixing a regression on some crusty, old, ugly, but contractually maintained branch of the product considers itself to be a big shot. But that&#x2

Well you could use some heatmap to represent latency, where the hottest part would be those of high latency, turn those particles and boxes red or blue depending on their mean latency...

I'm not sure where this 10x comes from but if this is about modern on-demand CI clustered runners vs old timey dedicated hardware and servers, then you have to take into account the fact that those hardware and servers were never prope

I am 100% behind this affirmation, we have been historically bitten times and times again by blind trust in "renowed experts", and while I trust most of them om their fields of expertise, saying we should ritualistically let them

There is no consensus on truth, happiness, or the reality of the universe we live in though, so nothing to accept there "as a layperson".

It is hard to put yourself in other's people state of mind, and to reason that it's because they must be idiots is not really the proper way to go. I don't have any advice to give on religion, if it's not your thing fine

I did not use ad hominem, I clearly and unequivocaly reflected on the post's brievity and unearned assertivity as being of little value in the context of a discussion. Maybe I'm doing a bit of sniping, but so are you, and I have t

Also average IQ at any given time is 100, by definition. I believe this post was trying the classic "all contemporary creations are degenerate" take on architecture and art, but not doing so very eloquently.

I believe we are slowly but surely getting out of this. Positivism as a strict adherence to the dogma of "the scientific fact" (with a conveniently moving definition, backed-up by Sagan quotes for TV viewers, or Popper for book re

Yes sure, putting all believers in a single bag really shows how complex and informed your point on the matter is.

I agree with you. I really enjoy this idea that understanding, conscience, are emerging properties of a system, which does not need to limit itself to any scope to happen. In that light the current approach most people take on this, taking

I'm pretty sure that this is exactly what the poster above is refering to: they would profit more out of longer contents due to the way their ads placements work, but they have to adapt and propose shorts anyway.

I think everone is using a different definition of "failure" here, because it is impossible to formally, unambiguously, and objectively, define what is a successful AGI. Do you consider yourself a successful AGI? I guess you do. D

Well for one submarines have parts that are over water, and can be stored in dry bays on the continent, for repair or construction (also the steel itself is stored on the continent prior to being used). For second the coldest wind chill rec
