It's actually `letSlightlyDifferentAIJudgeOutputSanity()` rather than `isOutputSane()`, I think.

And more importantly, all are part of NATO. So if Greenland is attacked, the Netherlands has to help defend.

I've never seen anyone in Dutch government with a MacBook. On the other hand every single government agency is addicted to Office 365 / Outlook / Teams / Azure, and I don't see them getting rid of those any time soo

The main thing with his YA books is that the themes are darker and they're scarier than the regular stuff, imo.

That's assuming Putin would use nukes in case Ukraine succeeds in winning back their territory. Which he won't do if mutually assured destruction is credible. He's not going to destroy the world including himself and everyt

For me the difference is the amount of focus that reading a long, serious book requires. The other things you mention are much more passive.

"Granting access to data" is what authorisation is.

by Scarblac 2y ago
It's the other way around, if you don't need authorisation, why would you need authentication?

Also, there's only one hard problem in software engineering: people. Seems to apply to AI as well.

I often spend way too much time on my phone (like now). The days when I keep my ereader nearby so I look at that instead I am much happier.

There's also the Council of Europe, which has an almost identical flag as the EU but is completely unrelated to it. Not to be confused with the European Council, one of the ruling bodies of the EU.

FIDE has organized its own Chess 960 championships in the past, and organising championships is how FIDE makes money. It's direct competition. (Freestyle chess, Chess 960 and Fischer Random are names for the same game)

That's unbelievably high for Apple when its hardware market share is much less than that (around 30% for iphones and significantly less than 20% for laptops and desktops, hard to quickly find consistent numbers).

NATO without the US can easily hold against Russia, provided nukes don't fly and the US does not stop selling munitions.

Europe isn't doing nothing, it's sending weapons to Ukraine. That hurts Russia, but not as directly as firing them yourself.

The discussion was about storing a timestamp as UTC, plus the timezone the time was in originally as a second field. Postgres has timezone aware datetime fields, that translate incoming times to UTC, and outgoing to a configured timezone. S

I read it but I only see an explanation about what it does, not the why. It could have stored the original timezone.

The stations arent the hard part, it's the rails. Cities were built around the train tracks. Say we wanted to double them all for more capacity, that means tearing down a lot of expensive real estate to make room.

And there's more to see out of the window, and you can take breaks (leave the train for a couple of hours to explore a city along the way, then continue on the next). And of course it's much better on CO2 emissions. But trains nee

On the one hand, communication is easiest if everybody uses the same language. On the other, the dominance of English is one thing that gives US too much cultural power. I think I'm happy that there is still content in other languages

I was about to switch from Emacs when I found TIDE for Typescript development (which is what I do), and it kept me in Emacs for years longer. Recently though I couldn't resist experimenting with Copilot and I switched to VS code for it

Exactly, and with most dubjects what the average person thinks is useless. The average person knows very little about most subjects.

Also ELO ratings for chess (named after Dr. Arpad Elo).

The answer is going to be negative regardless of the names, so this geometric proof won't work.

That's also my experience, the AI is very helpful for doing common things with languages you're not great at. Makes it easier to pick up a few extra tools to use now and then.
