Yeah I’ve done most of my playing since all those changes. I still find the game way too long!

I'm not the person you replied to but I'll give you my link [1]. At one point I had all species, backgrounds, and gods won but they've added a couple since I stopped playing. My win-loss ratio isn't anything to write hom

Apparently this is in the wake of OpenAI pivoting to a consumer-facing ad business, away from trying to disrupt every white collar worker on the planet. I would say that still points to a bubble beginning to pop.

They are until they aren’t. Look at the Russian regime. Even billionaires could find themselves on the outs. All that money and to live in fear of open windows.

Who would want to be an iron clad gate keeper when the world is descending into authoritarianism? Powerful people don't think this way. They think they can leverage the authoritarian regime to their own advantage. They're biased

A compiler is allowed to halt on a syntax error. Syntax highlighters ideally should not give up on colouring the rest of the document due to mismatched parentheses (or braces or any other delimiter pair).

They hope they know. They hope they're not in a bubble. It's the same hope that keeps people in a ponzi scheme.

That's really interesting. I did not know that India used commas for numbers like that, 3 digits and then 2 digits, and then apparently 2 digits again? 3,00,00,000 instead of 30,000,000

There's no "must" here. Forgiveness is hard. That's why it's a virtue. It's not without its benefits though. Forgiving someone who grievously hurt you or your family is the first step to letting go and moving o

I think you’re reading too literally into the words sin and charity. Sin in this case just means a transgression or wrong to you or your community. Charity here is used in the philosophical sense, meaning an openness to tolerating transgres

Forgiveness only counts when you believe the crime to be unforgivable, yet forgive the criminal anyway. "Forgiveable crimes" are just crimes you merely tolerate. “There is a limit to human charity," said Lady Outram, trembli

So I submit a query, click a link, then I give up and close the tab. How do you tell that apart from me finding exactly what I wanted and staying there? Whether it's my first query or the 10th (and final) query in a chain of re-queries

How do metrics tell you that a search query produces the result the user really wanted rather than fooling the user or forcing them to settle or even give up? A lot of my queries involve clicking a link and then realizing the site is garbag

I really miss the spatial classic Mac OS too. I don't think spatial orientation will ever come back to the Mac. Apple seems to have moved on completely. In some ways, the world has moved on as well. Spatial orientation worked really we

Dependent types can do this. This is information that can be known at compile time by means of a proof that the values are what they should be (or within certain bounds) through the entire call chain.

Can you replace 10 5 and 3 3 with variable names and still get the warning without first calling the function?
437.
by chongli 1y ago
No, not at all. You still have the advantages of scopes, name shadowing, namespaces, and collection types. If your language supports them, you can also use algebraic data types to further reduce the number of names you need to deal with.

Okay the fact that Talon Linux use Dragon via Wine successfully is a big vote of confidence. I was reluctant to recommend that to my friend after seeing Wine's status page for Dragon but I'll give it a go!

Anyone have a good suggestion for Linux dictation software? My friend wants to switch to Linux but he does all his writing with Dragon NaturallySpeaking.

it's basically impossible to remove an instruction. Of course not. You can replace an instruction with a polyfill. This will generally be a lot slower, but it won't break any code if you implement it correctly.

I don't know, but I have substantial evidence: 1) I know that I have emotions because I experience them. 2) I know that you and I are very similar because we are both human. 3) I know that we can observe changes in the brain as a resul

How do we know we've achieved that? A machine that can feel emotions rather than merely emulating emotional behaviour.

Heat pumps are not inherently expensive though. It depends on how competitive (or not) your HVAC industry is. Sounds like New Zealand has issues with this (probably due to being a small market).

Oh you live in New Zealand! Where I live (Canada) if you don’t heat the entire house then the pipes freeze and burst and then the whole house floods.

There’s another alternative: a mini-split. Larger than a window unit, with a refrigerant lines you run yourself but with the actual refrigerant pre-charged inside the unit, so you don’t need to handle it yourself (which usually requires a l

This is talking about cold-climate heat pumps. A $200 window AC isn't going to heat your house when it's way below freezing outside. $20k USD is insane though. I live in Ontario and we paid $12k CAD (pre-government subsidy) for a

Art and philosophy have very limited or zero dependence on a material substrate Not true for either. For centuries it was very expensive to paint with blue due to the cost of blue pigments (which were essentially crushed gemstones). Philo

You can Google it yourself. There are tons of studies showing a decline in technology literacy among younger generations (Z and alpha). Millennials were the peak. This shows that younger kids aren’t using traditional PCs, at least not to th

Credit card and location data is one thing. If we opened up these devices to the Wild West we’d have spyware that tracks every single thing you do on the phone in real time (and logs all your conversations and everything else). We’d also ha
