But you can't be a professor and work full-time on another project, which is what he wants to do.

Well, that is just choosing the semantically correct parse from multiple syntactically correct parses. This parser isn't even finding syntactically correct parses.

Seems to fall for a lot of easy traps. Garden path sentences ("The old man the boats" or "The horse raced past the barn fell") are parsed wrong, and it parses the two sentences/phrases "When he did that I laugh

No, it predates it, to the 80's at least, to my personal knowledge, and I have no reason think it's not older than that.

What he removed is actually a pretty fine essay on the pitfalls of classic C. Maybe I'm just old enough to be the target demographic, but I found it pretty illuminating. Zed is frustrating sometimes.

Don't underestimate the human capacity for circumlocution. The Hungarian language has no word for "to have". Seriously. And they do just fine without it.

Well, why aren't they moving their corporate offices to India or Thailand instead of Brooklyn? I mean, cost is the only metric, right?

Ooh, yeah, hadn't thought of Detroit - I'm from Indiana myself and the GP mentioned Indy, and away I went. Point being you could find much better locations than Brooklyn without going straight to China (while keeping your own se

Yeah. MakerBot could easily move to Indianapolis, after all. Or even less expensive locations elsewhere in Indiana, for that matter. Brooklyn is one of the most expensive markets in the United States, yet Indiana has just as many qualified

The original calculations were pretty simple: "Will this get me more votes?" Puerto Rico has always assumed that the economy would soon be turning the corner and everything would work out, with a healthy helping of cargo-cult New-

And of course this was sold as an anti-terrorism feature: http://444.hu/2016/04/01/a-kormany-buntetne-a-titkositott-ko... As always.

Speculation? Ha. But Fidesz does this with everything . I mean, look at the tobacco sales permit thing. It's just that threatening the Internet threatens one of the few industries where Hungary is actually making good money, so there&

This appears to be a rather sensationalist headline for a move that is admittedly boneheaded on Orbán's part. To ensure the state's ability to surveil, the government had a plan to enforce the inclusion of backdoors. However, it a

It really does! At twice the sampling rate it's pretty interesting, too. Incidentally, this little idea rocks. It's amazing what's buried down there in Unix command-line utilities.

This would catch something like "even more unique". In fact, looking at the code ( https://github.com/amperser/proselint/blob/master/proselint/... ) it would even catch something like "

It's painful to brick your phone, which is the risk when trying to jailbreak it. It's devastating to brick your $100,000 car, though.

There is literally no way for you to know that, because the facilities you would have needed to know it only grew in later. Your memory is not at all definitive here, because we make up memories to make things make sense, at this level.

I'm starting to think Apple has found its first viable post-Jobs narrative.

This is of course a difficult procedure to apply post-mortem.

It's not pedantry. "Digital" says nothing about the physical medium, which is a crucial issue if what you're talking about is the viability of long-term archives. Much better to say "magnetic" or "optical&

We're making a fuss about mathematics because this program is sold on the basis of the infallibility of mathematical tools. Especially for non-technical people of a certain age, this is a very persuasive argument (just watch any movie

When I was in school at Rose-Hulman, the Dean of Students lived in an apartment attached to one of the dorms (my own dorm, as it happened). He had a teenaged daughter, and at the time, Rose was all-male. They had a cordless phone. Some bril

After some thought, I think it would be trickier to teach the neural net how not to do it.
