I really don't notice this effect. The first five or ten times, I use the GPS because the path is unusual or new. After that, I know it and don't need GPS anymore. GPS is like the teacher, that shows you the best routes. You learn

When I move heavy stuff I don't use my car, I rent a truck, which was made for moving heavy stuff. I also don't see a reason to carry toddlers to grocery shops.

There's nothing embarrassing about modern PHP. Laravel DB migrations are very convenient, and very DB agnostic.

True, and shows how far we have fallen in the war against latency. In theory it should be possible with a standard sound card, or a sound chip in the motherboard.

I disagree. I don't need to know the compiled opcodes of a Java program to know that I wrote code that tries to perform a division by zero. What I need is a clear explanation of the issue using the actual source code I wrote. That'

For many years, and in so many companies, the policy has been the opposite. All company laptops must have windows, anything else needs to be vetted by the IT admin. Now that the Edge browser works fine on Linux, there's really no need

It is not. And it is irrelevant, because the objective here is to produce good-looking documents, not to create or run programs.

Technically, it is just an interpreter. But it behaves like a compiler, reads a file, process, transforms it, writes the result, and exits. This is part of the problem, it could be more "interpreter" like, and persist in memory.

I kind of want to see a result with the objective of having (La)TeX documents to be easily editable without having to re-run the entire (La)TeX stack over and over again. I think we share this objective as something positive. Like having Wo

But... persistent memory TeX? Where you only change one letter and the entire document doesn't need to be rendered again? Just that letter? A way to make TeX work more like WordPerfect 5.1. That's what I want.

Just put everything in queues, even immediate things. The AI feeds the action queues, and another isolated component performs the actions, including delays and follow ups.

Ten years ago, that was the feeling. C++ was perceived as a dead end. Everything was going to be Java or C#. But it didn't die. And today there are more C++ jobs available than a decade ago. In contrast, today there are some new langua

Don't be that misleading. That's the rust compiler. You should analyze an executable created by the rust compiler instead. AFAIK only glibc and libgcc are linked dynamically in a program written in rust, and there's a way to

Now the question is: Can machine learning process texts and generate word lists with definitions for the other languages? That would be one way to approach the lack of available data sets for languages that are not English.
