This is a very post hoc explanation. What does "coverage in the training data" mean? Take a simple task of something like "How many a's are there in the word bookkeeper" -- what is your theory for why it can answer

I mean, AAA games for VR get a lot more hype because ... well, because that's a part of the spend, on marketing, etc. But the vast majority of games (on Oculus at least) are very much casual games in the vein of Beat Saber, but they al

I mean, I can't turn globbing off -- applications do not do glob expansion in unix (with rare exceptions like `find`), so they just wouldn't work. This is an intrinsic decision in how linux applications are designed to work with c

Sure -- but they could make the phone thicker so that the bump is flush, and fill the rest with batteries.

Win32 in theory has globbing done by an OS-provided standard library -- the `FindFirstFile` and `FindNextFile` win32 calls process globbing internally, and they are what you are expected to use. Some applications choose to handle things dif

Question of where the pain goes, I guess. In unix, having to deal with shell escaping when doing routine tasks is super annoying -- URLs with question marks and ampersands screwing everything up, and simple expansions (like the `cp *` examp

This is more of a sweeping generalization than I think would be appropriate. The command line handling as I note above is a really crufty old Unix thing that doesn't make sense now and is confusing and offputting when you get papercuts

UTF-16 is fine so long as you are in Plane 0. Once you have to deal with surrogate pairs, then it really is awful. Once you have to deal with byte-order-markers you might as well just throw in the towel. UTF-8 is well-designed and has a con

Practically speaking there are a number of developer-facing concerns that are pretty noticeable. I'm primarily a Linux user but I worked in Windows for a long time and have grown to appreciate some of the differences. For example, the

My feeling without being rigorous is that something is wrong with this solution. Notably the size 13 case enumerated in the post, choosing 1 as the Chooser will always take 3 guesses (the most possible). Even in an iteration of a mixed stra

Especially given the fact that things are moving (too slowly) towards the XDG specification, my dotfiles repo is just my ~/.config directory, with a policy of basically ignoring everything except those things that I want to track. So m

Since I live out-of-market of my home team, on entering the season I am once again considering putting up an OTA DVR at my parent's house and watching all the in-market games. Are there any good out of the box or open source self-hoste

I understand why it can be problematic to use humans in test images, but this is in conflict with the purpose of test images. The purpose, briefly, is to allow human eyes to easily spot defects in image processing. While we can use automate

This has been consistently my experience -- if I am awake at night and use a phone, I will almost never get back to sleep; reading (on a book or on a frontlit kindle) means that I'll start to feel sleepy and go back to sleep. This is i

Better? I guess there are two ways you could implement this, the legal and the regulatory route. The legal route would say that upon discovery of the lack of said backups, they would be subject to penalties. So if they get hit by a ransomew

This seems significantly more lightweight than bubblewrap -- it doesn't attempt to do much in the way of containerization or isolation, just remapping certain files. I feel like this could be done in a small shell script if you reduce

Concretely, most of the time, Google is the executor of these warrants. Now it's totally possible that you will find a Google employee sympathetic to law enforcement who is willing to kick off a flume job to isolate the users who were

From this decision is it doubtful that a judge would grant the warrant under any circumstances -- the knowledge, for example, that there are only three results, is only available after the warrant is executed. Since no warrant would be so g

In the specific cases in question, the officers had video evidence of one of the perpetrators using a cell phone, and used that to justify the warrant. The court ruled that even this was insufficient, but is part of the reason why they are
