If this is an open-source project that accepts contributions from people outside the company... go nuts. Otherwise, use the company laptop.

I love Linux. I've just been burned too many times to trust it on my primary laptop. This is a machine with a high availability requirement -- if I have a job interview, the camera had better work right now .

To be clear, I'm not talking about self-indulgent essays embedded in comments. I'm talking about comments that convey context for humans. Here's a made-up example: // Parses a Foo message [spec]. Returns true

> do not use natural language questions That is really absurd! AFAIK, it is not possible to pose a question to a human in C++. This level of dogmatism and ignorance of human communication reminds me of a TL I worked with once who believe

Yes, and if I type X, backspace, X, backspace, and click somewhere near X again... you'd better not say I clicked X!

Great point! Something like this could work, modulo ffmpeg arguments which I didn't check. find . -name '*.mkv' \ -exec bash -c \ "ssh server ffmpeg < {} > {}.transcoded.mp4" \;

You can `tar` them though :)

I think it depends on what your objective is. Like if you want to simulate the LinkedIn experience, it's natural to train on LinkedIn data.

Neat, I didn't realize that would skip drop()!

You can kind of achieve this at runtime like so struct Foo { bool dirty, } impl Foo { fn clean_up(&mut self) { // ... self.dirty = false; } } impl Drop for Foo {

It's not pointless, the disc drive is necessary for a resale market. I buy game discs on eBay for $30 instead of $70+ on the PlayStation store. And in theory I could also sell them for roughly the same amount when I'm done!

My primary point was that peak bandwidth and billing period are finite, so no plan is truly unlimited. When a customer is comparing the 500 MB plan to the "infinite" plan, they could have actually given a number.

by bqmjjx0kac 2y ago
Not a single "unlimited" plan has ever been unlimited. I think they should be required to advertise a demonstrably achievable figure instead, such as 10 TiB/month. Or better yet, a sustainable MiB/second that won't

It's just a new flavor of uncanny valley IMO, but this time it's an approximation of communication/language. I am in awe of the technological breakthroughs that brought us this far, but disappointed in how it's being int

Disappointingly, it's a dark art often because the CPU is a black box. Intel X86 chips translate the instructions you give them to some internal microcode and then execute them speculatively, out of order, etc. I'm still mystifie

Wouldn't that broadcast a stable identifier to every site you visit?

I'm with you. If I have to use the default keyboard to enter arithmetic expressions, I'd rather SSH to my own server. I'm not exactly sure of the privacy implications of typing things into Siri.

Believe me, I looked for a while. Nothing quite scratched the itch while also being free, ad-free, and private. I guess I sound quite picky, but SSH + python checks all the boxes.

I switched to an iPhone a few years ago and I really miss the Android calculator app. It showed the entire expression typed so far and its current value! In desperation, I have resorted to SSHing to my desktop and using `python` as a calcul

I think it is knowable, to some degree, in retrospect. The day before the first iPhone was released was its price unknowable?
