The shell is the tool that allows us to talk to our computers, and for our computers to talk to us. Until a better way comes out to tell the computer what to do, the command line will prevail.

Qt is by far the best choice for me.

Truly universal UBI will result in reductions in paychecks by the amount of UBI. Business owners will think like this: "Hey Joe, from today we all are getting X amount of dollars from the government. Thus, I am going to reduce your pay

All these security issues stem from the fact that all the programs have a common view of the system. It's a major operating system flaw that no solution for it is in the horizon.

Time measurement is coupled to space, not time itself. Actually, time does not exist. It's simply the rate of change of matter.

Why operating systems don't provide a sandbox for running unsigned apps by default? Is your app signed and secured? it runs in the current environment. Otherwise it runs in a copy of the current environment, with restrictions as to wha

Oh man. I've tried iosevka too, it's very ugly. Source Code Pro looks so much better both in Visual Studio and in Notepad++.

Ugh! I just tried it in Visual Studio 17 and it is ugly as hell. Source Code Pro is way better.

Also, nothing prevents an AI model from having a goal like maximizing pleasure or uptime. Then we could see some "real" intelligence, in the sense that the AI will do things that will help it 'survive', which might inclu

How come, since we know so much, not produce a mechanism that counteracts the virus? how come we only know how to tell the immune system how to react? As a programmer, I suddenly got an urge to learn how I can program proteins to do the stu

Wouldn't a Rust interpreter solve this issue? Does Rust have anything that prevents it from being run interpreted?

In 80 years we have gone from nothing to deep learning. In the next 80 years, we will have AGI, and in the next 8000 years humans will be androids/cyborgs. That we haven't managed to create true AGI for now doesn't mean anyth

Microsoft wants to keep developers close to their platform, so as that the value of their stock does not fall.

I disagree that we don't need to unify gravity and the other 3 forces under one model. We need to unify them because there is obviously a missing link between the two theories (QM and GR), since spacetime is one and the same and there

It seems the soviet condemnation of public figures has nothing to do with what happened in USA: in the case of the USSR, the condemnation started from the ruling party, i.e. from the top, whereas in the USA case presented in the article, th

I wonder why we still have passwords. Couldn't we have a simple USB device that is encrypted, cooperates with the native O/S in an encrypted manner, and then allows remote login to sites also in an encrypted manner? The device cou

As a seasoned C++ programmer, that occasionally plays with Haskell, here is a question? Has finally Haskell the problem of how to do destructive updates or not? If it cannot do destructive updates, I am not interested. The kind of software

So what if I chose to live in an area more expensive than what the company is in? would they then increase my salary accordingly?

I think this might be of interest: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/thir... It contains answers to how things are done internally, the threading model, etc.

It seems the main point of this language is implicit concurrency. From what I have read, from the link above, the main idea is that it executes individual expression trees in separate threads, taking care of dependencies between threads and

My own theory is that there is no entanglement and no link between the particles, it is just that the particle states are affected the moment they are created. I also think that light is not a wave and that light particles are not fired in

I still don't get it. In Bell's thought experiment, the angle between the axes of two particles is well known before any particle is fired. Why do you say the following? > you can't tell what angle the other particle will

by axilmar 7y ago
I don't get it. If the source is responsible for the correlation, what other explanation do we need? why we need to explain it with a local hidden-variable theory of QM? Why isn't it enough that the source is responsible for the c

The Win32 API could have been much better designed even if done in plain C. The problems the Win32 API are basic, and can be solved in any language that provides minimal facilities.

I wouldn't call the Win32 API clean. To me, it's one of the worst APIs I have ever encountered. It worked and it was well documented, but that does not mean its design is very nice. To me, that is.

Very nice and clean GUI library. Clean GUI C++ libraries like this always make me think that Microsoft deliberately chose to not implement such a nice C++ GUI API for Windows and instead gave us the horrible MFC in order to lock us in into

That's way the most appropriate way to develop software is to actually create it piece by piece with the client side-by-side. Unfortunately, there is such software development platform in which software can be 'sculpted' as i
