Scientists are pretty solid overall for the Government. Lots of Phds that decide to take the steady reliable income and solid benefits over the risk of Academia for a few post docs hoping for a professor job.

At this point we can just have a Bot repost this exact submission every day and it would be right more often than not.

Weird seeing Syracuse here. One thing I have learned is that there are inviters and invitees for friends groups. Most people kind of just sit around and wait for things to happen. Some other people will make plans and invite people. Taking

I don't think a Linus rant ever hit anyone that was a rookie, they are always AFAIK against people "who should know better". Veteran developers, with multiple commits merged.

Why does issues and prs need to be federated? I can't think of any part of Github that benefits from federation. Just set up your own instance.

by ecshafer 6mo ago
Why? I really don't see the purpose of a federation of git repos. Git is already totally decentralized. 99% of projects only have a small list of committers. Tangled just doesn't solve an actual problem. Github was used because it

The latest chatgpt Image generation model is producing really nice results for turning sprites into sprite animations. Which is something a year ago felt impossible to get right. But 3d has been impossible for me to get anything good.

Has anyone found a really good ai modeling and animation workflow? Ive tried a few like Meshy which work but I am not super happy with the results.

My daughter was watching Blue's Clues. They were doing color combinations (red + blue = purple, yellow + blue = green, etc). They then also did a further step, blue + green = cyan, and did green + yellow = chartreuse. Now maybe its my

I ran a 16s 100m in highschool.... as a thrower, and was very slow. The 100m dash with the fast people was like 12s.

I've tried my hand at a few of the Erdos problems and came up short, you didn't hear about them. But if a Mathematician at Harvard solved on, you would probably still hear about it a bit. Just the possibility that a pro subscripti

Talking to random people about anything, and talking to girls, and talking to girls romantically are all separate skills from talking to someone about an interest. I am going to assume you're a smart, educated guy with niche interests.

Isn't this one of the things IBM did multiple times through the late 90s and early 2000s? Is Microsoft the new IBM?

It would probably be less efficient to have a more complicated waffle machine with a dispenser attached that costs more. Having a re-usable glass or metal cup, would require cleaning, and waffle batter is kind of annoying clean. Instead you

I think Rust is "higher level" than C or Zig in the sense that there are most abstractions than C or Zig. Its not Javascript, but it is possible to program Rust without worrying too much about low level concerns.

I make the mistake of thinking its 2020 as well. CUDA was announced 2006 and released Feb 2007. So its actually 20 years that AMD/RADEON hasn't caught on that they need a good software stack.

Affordable housing has always been old housing. Housing is essentially a pigeon hole problem, where some pigeon holes are nice and fancy and some are older. The pigeons simply bid their way in, and the more extra holes the cheaper they a

I know this is a joke. But when I was at Vanguard, something like 95-99% of our users literally just logged on, checked their balance and logged off. A decent percentage of the user base does that every day. So only a few percentage a day a

I've never bought a Mac, I have used them for work. They are the best built laptops on the market, bar none. Too bad their OS is awful. Its not just marketing.

Elaborate. Buddhism is going to have the same epistemological issues as anything, since its a human consciousness issue.

All people think dogmatically. The only difference is what the ontological commitments and methaphysical foundations are. Take out God and people will fit politics, sports teams, tools, whatever in there. Its inescapable.

I wish Skeuomorphism returned. I like that these apps were cool and distinct. They were also running in way less memory than electron apps.
