Based on my reading of this Arch wiki page[0], it looks like this doesn't impact packages in the AUR. Does anyone who is more familiar with this know if that is true? It appears that it does work for community packages though (see the

PetrisP's answer covered a lot of your question, but there are some additional considerations, even for English. Let's say you decide to grab all of those TV broadcasts and use them as training data (we'll ignore the fact tha

Paul Graham has an interesting take on the idea that the strong Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis applies to programming languages, though its not exactly phrased that way: http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html I tend to agree with your

One interesting point: "1,000 hours is also a good start, but given the generalization gap (discussed below) you need around 10,000 hours of data in different domains." Many of the companies working in this space who aren't G

I feel like owning a print copy of CLRS just implies that you studied Computer Science at a university, not necessarily that you're some super gifted hacker. But then again, most people who own print copies of Shakespeare are probably

Is "rustfix" what is running behind-the-scenes when you run "cargo fix" or is it something distinct?

Not OP but this is my reading: * "Breadth" as opposed to depth; in the sense of someone who knows a lot of relatively surface-level things across many areas, and can synthesize them. "Associative" in the way you're

Yeah, the 'discard' keyword is a pretty cool way to note that you're using a procedure only for its side effects.

Nim is a relatively small programming language that uses a Pythonic style of syntax. It adds some features that make it better suited to systems development, like type safety and better performance. It can be compiled using a few backends,

Linguists call "I think" when used this way a "stance marker"[0]. It's definitely not redundant: it reveals pragmatic information[1] about the context you're speaking in, namely by tempering your stance and rev

You should just use the same tricks for images that you would use for binary files. Instead of doing a diff, and merging the bits and pieces of conflicting files, you want to select the version from the two branches that you want. In a merg
