As someone who likes both mathematics and programming, I find this comment and the article too divisive for divisiveness’ sake. Programming is applied mathematics. An assignment is not 'sloppy' like the article posts, it is just a

Ubuntu had the alternative software called Upstart. It was killed because of the Red Had power behind Systemd. Technically, I don't know which one is better, but politically, Systemd was a power move by Red Hat.

One would be tempted to say that deleting a user and logging out are definitely different operations with expected different outcomes.

I think the main reason for the "introverts" draining, is a set of preconceived notions about social interactions, they expect certain answers and not receiving them will be frustrating and confusing. Therefore, the best thing the

You got it backwards. His use of knots is a bit more complex than our current mathematics of knots can explain, if we talk about knots in the 3D space. In fact, we don't have a predictive model of knots that can in the general case say

Reminds me of semiotics. The essay talks about the ability of generating explanations. It affirms explanations are the basic building block of GI. But an important intermediate step is also the ability of generating meanings. The AGI would

Microsoft has been the new IBM for a few decades already. In fact, this is considered ancient history nowadays.

Just the idea of writing getters and setters that don't actually do anything at all, except to allow access to a 'private' variable, makes me want to tear my hair. It's boilerplate for the sake of boilerplate.

Oracle. The fact that it is associated with one of the most scummy companies in the planet doesn't do the language any favours. A second data point is: other languages improved enough, Java is just another one among many. There's

Performance. So many people say it doesn't matter. Until it does. Python works around it by having so many libraries built in C or C++.

They do it because employers are too averse to increase salaries, and job hopping is sometimes the only way to get raises. It is a game of perverse incentives.

I remember I was so proud of 'discovering' this ratio when I was a child. I used an electronic calculator, so I had some superhuman help, and I discovered it several centuries after it was truly discovered. But this is still a goo

I think it is also because of the game publishing industry. I made a Tetris clone in Pascal, running in a 286 machine with 1 MB of RAM. It took me about a week of coding, and it ran as a single segment program, so it was limited to 64Kb of

I had to remove the old client and install the new one. Login in the different account. In all devices. Apart from that, yes.

Even more: It was about the price per transistor. Not about transistor size of performance. So it was an economic insight, more than anything else.

That's how it happened. OVH announced the EOL about a year before the system was shut down. pCloud is a replacement I choose, nothing to do with old OVH service.

> We need local desktops with a decent distributed filesystem, and vendor agnostic access to that filesystem from all our devices. I am very happy with pCloud. One of the reasons I got it is: it works very well on Linux. It works on Andr

Exactly. I expect that to happen to tether eventually, just because of inflation. There's also the probability of a 'flippening' event in the future, because ETH is no longer PoW. So ETH would switch to be the #1 currency. Or

Every time someone says cryptocurrencies are 'a bubble' I know they are not paying attention. Or for some reason think there is going to be a single event that will finally end cryptocurrencies. Or they have an agenda and want the

I think it is properties again. And harder this time. Except this time it is worse. It's not about the rising prices of properties, but the idea that there isn't something else more profitable than real state long term that makes

It depends a lot more on how calculus is taught than it depends on calculus itself. If your calculus education is: learn these formulas by rote memory and apply them to this set of problems. Yes, calculus, and in fact any and all the mathe

While I agree with VLC and I wish they succeed, their notice says: “Any such proceedings, if initiated, shall be solely at your risk, cost, and for breach of your own rules,” And it is funny they include "cost", as if every countr

That sounds to me like any framework nowadays. The difference, of course, the framework has extensive documentation. So that was the missing ingredient. He made a framework, but wrote no documentation. Writing documentation would have made

Humans are awesome. Some of them anyway. Knowing one or two people in your life who could do such things is actually the opposite of being ordinary. I think you are coming from a place of distrust for cults of personalities, and while I agr

El Memorioso Funes is more like a journalistic/chronicle parody of the phenomenon, rather than an exploration of it. At least that's how it feels in the Spanish version.

You could also experience to be bankrupt when trying to run a startup. Success is not guaranteed at all, and the statistics show more than half of them fail.

It's not even close. Linux overcommits memory by design. If you disable memory overcommit, Chrome based browsers won't even start.
