There is a abstract beauty in the implementation of the algorithms especially under the various constraints. I believe these constraints inspire creativity that those mildly practiced in or familiar with these arts can appreciate as an aest

YouTube comments do not scale for moderation; its such a huge platform that it's likely not profitable to pay people to put a dent in it. Instead they expect the content creators to do it if they care to shape their own image.

All country's diplomatic services have a similar exempt mail/pouch system; it's a service we all extend to each other. Others leave ours alone, and we leave foreign government's alone in turn (at ports or elsewhere). Gov

CentOS gets patches as soon as Red Hat publishes the source RPMs upstream or pushes changes to git.centos.org. What can be confusing about CentOS/RHEL is that many shops using them are on a release that came out years ago. But that&#x2

The problem is that there aren't enough people with spines working in these companies to smack the heads of their colleagues when they act out inappropriately because they think they have their "dream job" and don't want

I don't know if I agree on [1], because the GitLab icon draws the eye horizontally, while the System 1 proposal is vertically oriented. That it (intentionally) looks like an open book or magazine also distinguishes it. I think the dual

What they mean is that if you're doing anything that samples random, don't do it inside of something like a loop whose length is dependent on the local game state that isn't sync'd on the current turn; especially in the

The Bayesian spam filtering in Thunderbird was really good because it could be trained to the kind of spam you received personally. It was not a joke; I survived on that for my work email for half a decade before they finally bought an appl

Car stereos became an aftermarket industry with upgrade-able and louder components at the same time that boomboxes appeared on the American market; they were parallel industries, driven by the advent of cheap transistor-based amplifiers in

Agreed, and I do the same. But I bristle at the use of the term 'SJW', especially here. It's a dog-whistle of a term which has lost meaning unless you subscribe to a simplistic "us" vs "them" mentality abo

Also, remember that the /usr used to mean "user", as in, if you were "bob" then your home directory was /usr/bob. That dance was done twice! Moving stuff to /usr/bin made sense after systems got

This, a million times this. This is how chatbot functionality should be implemented. Like those "chat with us" links you see on a website that drops you into a window and you get put in someone's queue. It doesn't actual

All of their services and ad networks use the "regular" names (like youtube.com and google-analytics.com) for these services and webpages, so any browser or mobile device will be looking up IPs via those names. And it's not l

Your intuition is right, your EFI boot menu entries are pointing to the wrong path for GRUB (grubx64.efi). Basically this problem is because Anaconda (the RedHat / CentOS installer) puts the files in [/boot]/efi/centos&#

On the downside the site seems organized in such a way to SEO for Amazon link referrals and to drum up visibility of a vanity-published book series written and illustrated by her daughter. Not that it isn't an accomplishment, but it fe

If a site I cared about was teetering on the edge in the internet stone age, they'd put up a Paypal donation button and you chip in. Now, sites with value have either figured their strategy out or have something like Patreon, which I&#

Because Elon is, to American ears, a unique-sounding name with a hint of Bond Villan whereas Musk is a strong smell and is the sort of name a Hollywood hack would give an out-of-touch salesman archetype in a satire.

My takeaway from this is whoever came up with the idea of including recipe ideas on/in the packaging of staples or kitchen products was a goddamn genius. Because a common theme among many of these mistaken secret family recipe stories

I think the grandparent is saying there's a limit to the number of additional efficient light fixtures one would add with promise of low runtime costs because of higher initial fixture, bulb, and dimmer costs for LED.

To be fair, Microsoft is still doing it (maintaining several revisions through security and bug fixes) with Windows 10 and Server 2016 and priors, it's just not visible to customers outside enterprise. The change is the expectation for
