How is "person with a surplus who is renting out their 2nd/3rd apartment" anything other than a landlord?

IP67 means "completely dust proof and submersible up to 1 meter". You can safely hose it down to clean it, pressure washers are probably a bit much.

Anyone can hire security guards, and if they have the appropriate licenses for those bolt action rifles I don't see anything wrong with that. Calling it a "private army" is way overblown, this is more a rich person cosplaying

Who knows about "the same bikes", but yes in general the e-bikes we have over here are quite reliable.

You misunderstand entirely how much the author of any software with "achievements" cares about whether it works well in shell scripts and/or from python.

Pretty much your fault entirely for choosing to use my tool but not reading at least the README.md, which would explicitly state that there might be achievement texts on stderr. Anyway why output that stuff on the standard streams anyway wh

You don't have to rely on (faulty) memory, the very Wikipedia article mentions that the USA was a signatory of the Hague treaty. As an aside it is pretty hilarious in hindsight that at the time all the countries who are now permanent U

What will StackOverflow content teach the model that millions of pages of programming language documentation, github repos and developer blogs could not? SO is nice but it's hardly the only source of programming knowledge out there.

That also struck me as a great way to make software more whimsical. Imagine if you randomly got an "Achievement unlocked!" message if you churn through more than 10 GB of data in a single invocation of `grep` for the first time or

I think quite a lot comes from teenage nostalgia from whichever era you are from. The original trilogy is not actually all that good, but some people still talk about it as if those movies are the epitome of moviemaking. I think it has a lo

Historically, the people taking up arms certainly did NOT distribute wealth if they won. Rather, the leaders of any successful rebellion just became the new elite and the poor remained the poor but with new leadership.

Would it even wiggle the eardrums relatively to the rest of your head? Intuitively it seems that would only happen if the wavelength is exactly right, but at that wavelength the frequency would be inaudible because the speed of light is so

If a few people from a company you acquire can seemingly overthrow all principles and radically change the engineering culture, I'd offer that maybe the culture at Boeing wasn't all that strong in the first place. In any case, the

If the model was trained over (say) a week during there was no full moon, how would the model know what this unexpected message means? It would probably just ignore it and continue playing as normal. Nethack is full of messages that can be

Well if it was only trained on non-full moon days, even if the model did detect a difference it would have no idea how to adapt its play style.

I think you missed the part of the strategy where losing 75% of customers is actually part of the plan.

I don't know why you think that it isn't. You can do so, but AFAIK almost no libraries are written with the expectation that their computations might be interrupted at any time by another thread. The best you can hope for is tha

It's really striking that the prompt is just a variation of "using the following text as reference material: <paste text of relevant document here>, answer the following question: <paste question here>". It's

Europe just seems to go for much more mid-rise high-density neighborhoods compared to the US with skyscrapers in the city center and then sprawling suburbs that are so low-density you can barely get out of them without a car.

Triggers have much larger overhead than writing to the replication stream (which most databases should be doing anyway), so if you have a lot of traffic this is faster.

Funny how it probably differs per ~5 years who is the most famous BDFL. I'd have gone for Linus Torvalds as the most famous, or maybe Guido van Rossum.

I think you have indeed missed the joke, yes. This author has an entire series of blog posts about this witch doing insane low-level stuff during interviews.

Mostly depends on the volume of the part, or equivalently it's weight. Complexity you get mostly "for free" when it comes to 3d printing. What type of material you need to "withstand temperatures and pressures of a rocke
