I mean, that would be a problem in a world where the phone is physically stationary in a far corner of a house hooked to the wall with a wire. And where I would need to schedule time to sit near the phone so that I don't miss the expe

The writing styles seem sufficiently different to me. Also the accounts were both made years ago and years apart. A much more likely and charitable interpretation of events is that 'lemming year' is an event that many people have

The really funny part is that training an AI or even just setting up a monte carlo style generator based off of your existing typing cadence would allow you to give a body of text to the algorithm and then have it produce a video that looks

You beat me by four minutes. I feel this is the only way this has a remote chance of actually working. However, I think you also need to make sure that the judge feels in on the joke as opposed to being the butt of the joke.

I feel like the only possible way for this to work would be to get the opposing side to prove that the ridiculous fake breathalyzer doesn't work only for the box to be opened and it is revealed that it is in actuality the same model of

I was going to say that this probably isn't fair because they do get quite a few languages and nobody is going to have the bandwidth to get all languages... but then *they* say "...for all programming languages...". I mean

With circuit design you have OR gates and AND gates and NOT gates. However you can program everything with only NAND gates because with that gate you can express all other gates. Ultimately though using universal NAND gates is a convenienc

Humorously enough there's a Peter Watts essay out there someplace bemoaning how the scramblers ended up as starfish aliens just like how everyone else does their eldritch aliens. The book clearly does a lot of legwork in the 'thir

Part of me cannot wait. Like, I really want to see Frasier go on a date with a person who he (and everyone else) is only dimly aware is a xenomorph. We as the audience will see it as a full blown xenomorph and see it kill background chara

I was probably never going to learn unity in the first place. But when the news came out that shifted to, "Well, now I'm definitely never going to learn unity." However, I missed the news that Unity merged with ironSource.

Omon Ra [1] is probably the most important book I've ever read. The wikipedia page suggested to me that it would be a surreal alternate history comedy about the Russian space program. There was however no comedy ... or at least nothi

If lex/yacc style parsing works for you, then great. However, I suspect most people are going to get more mileage out of just hand writing a recursive descent parser and moving on with their lives. The benefit of recursive descent is

I mostly agree. Parsing is as complex as the theory-heavy books make it out to be (and more as you keep going down the rabbit hole). But the necessity of that complexity is isolated to some pretty niche areas. If you've been brushin

As a side effect of getting older, you're eligible to have friends that you haven't seen in very long periods of time. Just because you're old enough for that amount of time to have passed. I was talking to my grandparents a

It doesn't help that we don't have a good definition for what 'clever' means when referring to code. This article talks about a time someone made an abstract class and then took DRY a little too far. If this is an examp
