Personally, I do not recommend jobs. Avoid them as much as possible.

Good starting points would be the Christmas Special (Alan Brady Presents), “It May Look Like a Walnut” and “That’s My Boy” (just off the top of my head). There are two episodes where we got to see Van Dyke’s Stan Laurel impersonation which

There are few (maybe no) moments of Dick Van Dyke that aren’t a joy to watch. I grew up on reruns of the Dick Van Dyke Show and discovered Andy Kaufman thanks to Van Dyke’s short-lived variety show, Van Dyke and Company. Watching his dance

I had a student in one of my LaTeX classes back in the 90s who had a “I lust for latex” T-shirt.

I still find it wild that Godbolt is his actual name and not some cool term used for the tool to see what compiler output looks like.

When you left this morning, sure, but who knows what’s happened in the interim.

The swastika was in use for thousands of years before Hitler and his crowd changed its meaning forever.

Indeed, this sort of “writing with an accent” can illuminate interesting aspects of both English and the speakers’ native language that I find fascinating.

Meh. Might as well encourage people to post links to search results then too.

Ditto with Thai, Chinese, Lao, etc. I think Korean is the only east-asian script which uses word spacing. Given the late introduction of word spacing into writing, it’s almost more a surprise that scripts have it than don’t.

The similarity in names is likely to Groq’s detriment.

Back in the Apple ][ days, the timing for writing to the cassette port and to the speaker were identical (just poking different addresses), so you could load audio from cassette using the ROM routines to read a program from tape, then use a

Fake money is better than nothing, but one hopes that at the very least they’re correctly managing prices with the bid-ask spread, although real money would tend to influence what the actual numbers would be (small dollar amounts likely get

I wouldn’t trust any backtracking test with these models. Try doing a real-time test over 8 months and see what happens then. I’d also be suspicious of anything that doesn’t take actual costs into account.

Also, “new C++” refers less to syntax and more to role in the development ecosystem.

Java Generics look like C++ templates and Rust generics act much more like C++ Templates than Java Generics.

The article has a link to https://blog.okfn.org/2012/10/08/do-bad-things-happen-when-w... (Do Bad things happen when works enter the public domain?) There are answer is no, but they’re ignoring the fact that

Yes, but why read the first paragraph of an article when you can write a comment to demonstrate your knowledge and ignorance simultaneously?

I mean, I’ve not written C code in decades¹ and this didn’t cause a second’s pause. ⸻ 1. Long enough ago that the only practical way to get syntax highlighting was to run a separate program on the source code to generate a TeX document.

I remember working on some code back in ’99 when the other dev on the project used // comments in C code which, it turned out, were supported by the C compiler we were using, but which broke the embedded SQL preprocessor.

Oh man, the first graphics code I ever wrote used Tektronix vector commands for drawing. It used ASCII escape sequences to specify diagonal lines on the screen, but, as I recall you could also tell it that instead of drawing a diagonal line

It’s thirty years later, so things have changed, but now I would be inclined to only use a different subdomain if it required a different server.

Indeed, back in the 90s I remember trying to decide whether to do foo.bar.com or bar.com/foo for various subsites of my main domain back then.

Looking over the linked legal page (with the caveat that I spent ten seconds and I am not a lawyer although I did use to watch Law and Order every week), I didn’t see anything that would make the portrait of the king subject to the law.

(Playing with the HN simulator by sending it my recent fiction, this one generated a big pile of AI discussion [ https://news.ysimulator.run/item/1400 ] so I figured maybe the NI here would enjoy it.)
