Interfacing a brain sounds quite complicated. Instead, the mechanical box could just be a human body since we have over 1000s of years interfacing that with various vehicle controls. We could probably harvest these fully functional units in

I’ve seen no evidence that Fuchsia is bringing much more than 90s era embedded OS design. Just because it’s not Linux doesn’t mean it’s new. Not that this is a bad thing, but someone please correct me if there is something fundamentally rec

Euler lived in the 1700s. Not sure how that would have affected your training unless you’re much older than average. Cauchy and Taylor both formalized many concepts, again in the 18th and 19th century. What are you thinking is ad box?

So the article is probably correct that trade has been a bigger issue than automation. Well let’s assume that’s true, to be charitable to the mentally challenged Slate authors. So what happens after you put the screws to trade? That certain

There are plenty of academic and academic center trained physicians that understand study design and are competent in research. They aren’t typically primary care/general practitioners so you just don’t encounter them as much. And yes

It requires flash. It’s annoying but not enough to stop me from using it, as it has saved my ass countless times.

Needing flash is an annoyance, I wouldn’t call it “extremely difficult” (especially on HN) though. Luckily Citi still offers the service. It also requires flash. However the feature is worth the inconvenience. I’ll run a small windows vm fo

Yep for 3 days before Linux! And then most of the later betas were Windows only. It wasn’t the final full featured release of Quake III though. And as stated in Carmacks .plan it was because these gaming communities were so tiny so I’m not

I think you’re reaching a bit. I’m aware of this. Most of all because what this article doesn’t mention is that q3test was also initially released for Linux before Windows and you better believe that was a huge deal on slashdot at the time.

8 bit software still works on OS X Catalina? Last I checked just as this guy is nursing his old ass pre CC adobe software along nothing is stopping them from continuing with an older OS X.

They could have bought the company if necessary. Frankly it just wasn't worth buying. That is the market speaking. The market said it was better to develop the thing in house.

No that’s not right. The implementation is not changing. The prototype is changing to break code that was poorly formed in the first place. If you had cast to the correct type in your code as you always should have, this change shouldn’t br

Well there isn’t any better spreadsheet software in 2019. Like what even comes close in terms of features and fit? Photoshop. I think it’s a tiny little more mixed opinion of the overall program in terms of UX, but again, the closest replac

It doesn’t require much memory to shuffle, essentially just an integer permutation generator and possibly an index of block pointers. You could store the latter in the NV storage. This assumes no storable “playlist” at all. If you have pla

That doesn’t mean multiple long running processes will share memory though unless they actually create a shared mapping, which I think the gp is referring to. In addition to tremendous memory waste this also kills cache performance.

I think this is still versioning. You just end up versioning with the endpoint URI. Eg many names that end -2 or -3.

Perhaps I just don't want to fucking be bothered with a gender label and will use the perfectly acceptable gender-neutral pronoun. God tells me that this is a reasonable thing to do. Somebody recently referred me to this nonsense: htt
