It's only because they know how to translate from English to a rigid, formal language that they already know. Just like you can map English to the language you use at work. You had to learn the language first, or you wouldn't have

Let's be real, legalese wasn't invented "to convey a false sense of authority" but to settle disputes as objectively as possible while leaving no room for misinterpretation. i.e. by formally specifying the constraints th

TIL that formal languages are better at specifying rules than informal languages (it's why legalese exists)

If they're doing fingerprinting then they're clearly collecting too much data. If they need javascript to collect their metrics, they're clearly collecting too much data.

I believe it's like a tree that's sprouting. Imagine the sensory pathway from sense organ to brain. As information travels it preferentially goes in one direction as opposed to another. When it reaches a dead end it splits and for

I guess we would need two telescopes very far apart in order to get stereo images? Wouldn't any two points converge at the horizon, considering the distances involved, otherwise?

I wonder why they went with that shape, surely it's possible to design anything if you start from the principle that some materials expand when moist and contract when dry. I guess it's an efficient tiling

No, and there was no need to be an asshole about it. It's like talking about your human childhood and adolescence to an alien therapist. I hope you see what I'm getting at.

Are you purposefully playing dumb or what? If you don't see how the answer is obvious, I'm afraid nothing I say is going to make you change your mind.

"A quick look through history" is what I'd expect from someone who skims over a book and completely misses the point because they think they know it all. Indeed I gave you three constraints but you're only looking at one

Yeah it's hard to explain this to my therapist.

Fair, I used a very loose definition then. My issue with capitalism is fundamentally split in three parts: that profit is the driving force behind action; that short term effects are prioritized over long term ones; and that global markets

The fact that Open Source is about sharing, and they don't share. They only take. It doesn't have to be written in legalese somewhere, it's the spirit of what makes Open Source what it is. And I'd argue that doing someth

Evolution intends in the sense that it follows an abstract fitness function. I didn't think I'd have to explain that here. I know how to implement evolution algorithmically. And no matter what you think about tribal societies, we

Yeah there's some default production-ready presets for widely-compatible MP4s which I use every time I need to edit on Vegas Pro. In the "Video" tab there's also a "fast decode" toggle which is useful to me. Ne

I actually managed to buy it back after I insulted them and let them understand that I wasn't interested (so they let it lapse as well). And I've set it on auto-renew ever since. But it's not like it didn't happen to Goo

It's not that FOSS fails, it's that unethical corporations worth billions of dollars go unpunished for abusing it (because the law exists to protect them). FOSS is fundamentally anarchy (the good kind that shows that human beings

It's not naive, it's how languages work. That grammar doesn't necessarily convey 100% of semantics is a problem of natural language. Or rather, of people being poor at communicating unambiguously. Programming languages can al

250/s is still nothing when compared to an actual NLP pipeline that takes a few ms per it, because you can parallelize that too. I know it's hard to understand, but you can achieve a throughput that is a few orders of magnitude hi
