That simply does not work. The "slices" are done so that each slice have roughly the same amount of people. So if one party has sliced things so that all the slices are nicely cracked and packed, the "picking" just doesn

Snowden is complicated. Yes, the level of wiretapping and surveillance was bad. It should have been exposed. However, that's not all he took. And those documents have had negative effects on U.S. operations and that of their allies. I

I'm reminded of an episode of Masterchef where the cooks are given live crabs to prepare a dish with (as part of the meal, not as an assistant). Most contestants left the crab alone until it was time to boil them. One starts ripping th

I like the Reiser story. It's one of the higher profile crimes that's not really related to the technology at all. This is simply about a dude who murdered his wife. But he also happened to be a brilliant programmer writing one of

Ok, because that one seemed real familiar. I was a little confused because I was like "It doesn't already?"

Even if you were to do that, parking has a larger footprint than habitation. Or whatever you want to call existing in a space. For example, if I go to Chipotle for lunch, I will go and park my car, go inside, get in line, order, blah. My ca

I have two parking spots that are essentially dedicated to my car. At work* and at home. I don't have to worry about parking at either of those spots. Ever. Everywhere I go out has parking. I need to pick something up at the hardware s

I don't think it's a problem per se, but it will cease to be a good example of a break in GPT because once it's "fixed", people will point to it and say "nuh-uh". When really, the "fix" is "

My only real response to this story is "And?" Being responsible for saving Toy Story 2 is a good thing, yes. She should be celebrated for that , yes. However, it should not potentially shield her from any and all repercussions in

It's really up to the front office as to who gets rings and who doesn't. Not to mention, there are usually a couple of tiers of rings. Naturally, all of the players and coaches get rings. But after that, there are various executiv

She probably sees it differently than you do. Because when she wants socialization or interaction with you, she gets it.

There's something to this. When I read The Trial, I was struck by the sheer absurdity of it all. Josef is never charged with a crime, is never coerced into any action, yet at every step remains a willing participant in his own punishme

That's the rub though, isn't it? It just exposes the fact that these LLM/generative AI models don't actually know context. ChatGPT doesn't "know" that it's "generat[ing] factual citations" s

Just looking at the gameplay video, they have a bit of work to do to avoid a DMCA request from maybe both The Tetris Company (I think that’s the name) and Nintendo. The game lifts a lot of design elements from the Game Boy version of Tetris

Look, if Toonces drove a boat instead of a car, I'm sure Free Willy would be fucking his shit up, but as it stands, orcas don't know where any of what is caught is going. They just know that the boats are stealing their food.

Kernel Version numbers are also kind of sus because they often choose numbers based on what programs are checking for rather than anything else. Windows 10 uses 10.x, skipping right over 7, 8, and 9. Like the reason we don't have a &qu

That's not true. 95 and 98 were well received. ME was garbage. XP was liked, mainly because it wasn't ME and also the first consumer NT kernel. Vista was hated for many good reason. 7 was liked mostly because it wasn't Vista.

First, you need to be able to critically evaluate the criticism. Incorrect code is incorrect. There should be no ego there. Either in pointing it out or in correcting it. It could be incorrect due to many reasons: faulty assumptions, misund

Bob Ross wasn't the most skilled painter, and he would probably be the first to admit to that. He had a certain skill set that lent itself well to certain styles of paintings. Now, he developed that skill set because he liked picture

Not a "shopping mall" mall, but an old-school open area with shops and restaurants. I don't know if you watch Ted Lasso, but Lasso and Beard live right next to a mall and frequently walk through it or meet up at a bench there

Eh. They don't push in the classic ways. I don't think Nintendo has ever put out a console that was on the cutting edge of technology. What they like doing is taking common components and milking them for all they're worth. O

Pinball always seems like something that is just below the threshold of pop culture at any given moment. Every now and then it pops up over, but for the most part, it's just under the radar.

Not exactly what he's saying. To be fair, he's expressing himself poorly. Because, yes, "If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." He wants to say something more like "Con

There's a difference between "an engineer" and "a good engineer". So those saying he's not an engineer at all are probably wrong, but those saying he's a good engineer probably aren't correct either.

Nintendo cares about battery life above most other concerns. The Game Boy was not the most capable handheld when it was released. It was severely underpowered compared to the hardware that was out there. Atari released the Lynx a few months

I'm sure Kent State University is searching for Accuracy here and not of any shred of possibility that it wasn't culpable for the death of four unarmed students. Honestly, the last group I'd want to hear from about what trans
