If it’s so good that it sees everything, and they just haven’t seen anything of interest enough to stop you yet isn’t that scary?

Officers are licensed professionals. Doctors carry insurance. Engineers carry insurance. Teachers carry legal insurance, too. Sometimes the employer is also financially liable for damages, but not solely. Yet the police tend to let a city o

Life is alright I suppose. There’s been a lot of cancer in our families, which is rough. There’s been some wonderful responses to treatment though. My job since late 2022 I mostly really like. My fiancee and I moved from Texas back to Illin

I for one knew that. I’m mr_mischief on there, not that I visit regularly these days.

Thanks for that perspective, Ben.

Have you tried cpanm?

If they specified ‘perldoc -v $|’ instead of just ‘man perldoc’ I’d have been thankful for that as the entire response. It’s literally a pointer to where the answer is and to how to use the canonical tool to find it.

I think more specifically it was the hesitance to move Perl 5 significantly forward in the meantime that caused the damage. That has been decidedly changed the last few years, with great strides being made. That time in between is lost, tho

I haven’t done nearly as much of this as you. One or two calls into a library with a simple C interface isn’t that bad with Inline. You just use Inline to handle the Perl to C to Perl part, and actually do the interfacing in the inline C. I

Somewhere in the continuum from SWIG through XS and on to Platypus there are also the Inline modules these days. They allow one to put inline sections of other languages into Perl code the way many language tools used to allow one to inline

It’s strong as a better shell. Perl is even getting an increasingly good and complete default object model in the core language. One of the big complaints was always that the TIMTOWTDI included object libraries, of which there are many. Mos

One of Python’s killer features is how easy it is to find a Python library wrapping some native code library written in C or Fortran. Those used to be notoriously difficult to write for Perl.

What exactly are we counting as “a conditional”? Is it only “if” statements? Do “case” or “switch” statements count? Do loops with loop conditions count? Do all the included functions being abused count for all the conditionals in them? Do

There are also only certain ways each character can tell him those things without him shooting them down and shutting them out. Chuckie is a lot more free to talk to him about where he’s coming from and a lot more free to be blunt than his

Chuckie is the one who can say that so plainly to his face, too. A math professor he’s only getting to know saying plainly that his life to this point is inferior, that he should leave all his friends and compatriots behind, and that he’s w

A few things in the article are Douglas Adams quotes, and more specifically from the Hitchhiker’s Guide series. Creating the universe being regarded as a mistake and making many unhappy is from those books. Whenever someone figures out the

Primates, canids, felids, and ungulates are all subsets of mammals and all have further subsets. Mammalia is further a subset of animalia. When we’re discussing categorizations, it’s often helpful to have multiple levels of categories. I’m

Is it hard to beat on performance for the cost, though?

I’m no ML engineer and far from an LLM expert. Just reading the article though it seemed to me that leveraging an SQL database here was a bigger issue than using traditional ML on the data, rather than the LLM being a win specifically. Just

Fair. I don’t believe I said they were useless terms for differentiation of types of compilers, though. I just said they can all be thought of as a class as different types of compilers.
444.
by cestith 11mo ago
I think they are fine definitions. I think a transpiler, a term rewriter, an assembler, a stand-alone optimizer, and even some pretty printers are subclasses of compilers. I define a compiler as something that takes an input in a language,

To be a lumper for a second, all models are flawed. But some are useful.

I like your definitions, but all three of these could be called subsets of compilers.

A few anti-cheat systems rather than inspecting the local machine look for things like impossibly fast target acquisition in FPS games, or the server noticing when a shot is taken on an opponent who’s supposed to be totally obscured. Those

I can’t speak for brendo, but I do most of my gaming on a separate PC-class machine from my home workstation, both of which are separate from my work laptop and personal laptop.

Honestly, as much as I prefer Linux for most things Linux staying pat and macOS stealing market share from Windows is almost as good as Linux taking those users. I think we’re currently seeing a trend starting of people leaving Windows for

The x86 running Windows isn’t perfect. The x86 rack system running Linux isn’t perfect. Android isn’t perfect. The Ford F150 isn’t the perfect pickup. Budweiser is far from the perfect beer. The phrase “worse is better” has a lot of histori
