I would normally let this comment pass, but the vital importance of the topic we are discussing creates a moral imperative for me to respond. Given that "whether or not pot with a lid with holes for draining pasta" counts as a co

I was there when XP came out and it was clearly better than any of the entries in the two "parents" that it replaced (NT/Win2k, and 9X/ME). I was the local "hey, my PC is broken" guy and the first thing to try

I like that this article at least links to a document with the features they want under scrutiny, but they do avoid a definition, and nearly all networked systems have at least some of the features in the document[1]. Is google docs social

I don't know if the other people complaining have a pihole (or equivalent), but I do not.

I've been told that the military also won't take people who have a prescription for Ritalin; not sure if that's true. OCS wouldn't return my calls, but I think that was more due to my GPA than my prescription for Ritalin

Does a pot with drainage holes in the lid count as a colander? If so then I tie with you, otherwise, you win.

It depends on the population you are taking from. Being the top quartile embedded C developer in the world is perhaps unimpressive (there are up to 2 billion people better than you at embedded C programming), but being the top quartile emb

That's a great quote; over the years I've internalized something similar which is why I try to be less clever on the internet than in person.

I'm far from being a Caillou apologist, but putting it below, much less way below, Pepa Pig is rather harsh.

If you think Peackock is bad, try Paramount+, it's an impressively bad app that, along with being very laggy, will crash fairly regularly too.

I live in the US. If those numbers are true, then it seems likely that I know at least one person on it. I however don't know that I know someone one it, since people (at least in the US) don't usually announce "Hi everyb

Those awkward 5 minutes of greetings and unrelated discussion are because other people don't join until 5 minutes past, and sitting in silence would be even more awkward.

I can read and understand e.g. Python, but I have seen subtle bugs that were hard to spot in code generated by AI. At least the last time I tried coding agents (mid 2025), it was often easier to write the code myself then play "spot t

The comments linked there have a rather high signal-to-noise ratio, so if anyone is thinking about clicking, you should do so.

How do you verify that the AI translation to Lean is a correct formalization of the problem? In other fields, generative AI is very good at making up plausible sounding lies, so I'm wondering how likely that is for this usage.

I use navidrome rather than Jellyfin for music. Stream to my Android phone with Dsub2000. Amperfy is my preferred iOS client. I haven't tried it, but there is a program called Finamp that is specifically for music streaming from Jell

I buy CDs and rip them myself. That's technically buying a digital copy of the music, since CDs are digital.

Just be aware that there are more prime hashes than there are hashes with a specific 2 hex-digit prefix, so even relatively short messages will be much harder to find.

From TFA and AndyP's slides it seems to specifically refer to a variant of SSO where, for large strings, a fixed-sized prefix of the string is stored along-side the pointer, in the same location as that fixed-size prefix would be fore

According to TFA, the name was coined by Andy Pavlo, who did his undergrad in New York, Doctorate in Rhode Island, and now teaches in Pittsburgh. I see no indication that he is German. [edit] Lecture slide with the term is also linked from

In TFA the author states that it "won’t have any practical impact for the average user" but it would surprise me if the average user didn't violate at least one of those terms. I found an article that (uncited) claims that

That's probably the real problem there; going into trades is pareto-suboptimal (for any combination of motivation and talent, you can get a better job)

Does one ever polish a crystal? Having it raised would make that much easier (also if one does, tell me who can do it to mine, my crystal is scratched to the point where I can't read my watch if the main lighting is behind me).

My Seiko Kinetic that I got for around $100 has the crystal surface about 1mm above the case (it is beveled though, so slightly narrower on top than where it meets the case; I assume a right angle would be both unpleasant to touch and more
