There is no "standard" terminology but I would say small line count is a definite factor here. Small LOC count implies low complexity of integration and low risk. Risk? Yes, the smaller the codebase, the easier it is to take your

'Surely "weather", if it were to blame, could be avoided.' AFAIK rogue waves are called 'rogue' due to their unpredictability.

I love my simple kettlebell program. Basically I just do kettle bell swings and pushups. I start with quick warming and stretches (a couple of minutes) then do intermittently kettlebell swings and pushups. I train three times a week, each s

My intent was not to imply that founding a company is hard or expensive (just that creating a company that results in generational wealth is an unlikely proposition, if we take as the potential founder pool "those that statistically ar

I believe that the sampling to enter the highest strata of top earners is also partly lottery. You get to a well paid engineering role by acing studies. But to transit from low-generational wealth to non-low generational wealth status requi

The interesting thing in AI is that the whole field is participating in empirical experimentation on computational models of cognition. So far the search has resulted not in AGI but in realization that cognition is far more complex topic th

All the references I found just referred the auto-bracketing (I.e. shooting the the images with different exposure) but I can't find any mention of in-camera composition of the final hdr - all sources just tell you to use an external s

ChatGPT also has no skill whatsoever in logic or deductive arithmetic - just like some humans - but would you want such a human performing professional knowledge work?

I think you need to be more explicit on the specifics of revenue mechanism to be helpful. Anyone can host a buzzword laden web page for sure, but what would the specific funnel and revenue generation mechanism be?

No problem :) Nordic countries is a well defined collection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_countries - Greenland/Nuuk is part of them given it is a region of Denmark. I don't think the racism can be hel

It is a bit weird you got triggered by this out-of-context association when we were discussing the ethics of Woz's story, but you are correct, nordics are quite racist: https://harvardpolitics.com/nordic-racism/

This was not as much about privilege than about Woz having a life long experience of trying to bend conventions and rules and probably had a good intuition how far he could goof off given his social and financial status etc.

Wow, this is awesome, thanks for sharing. Perhaps a bit jury rigged, but I love the ingenuity and the rough aesthetics.

I'm not sure why you are venting, but if you are having a hard time in your life I'm sorry you are going through that. Now, our discussion was about Woz's zany antics, but I still have to clarify some geographical things: 1.

It's fine to recognize you're built out as a one trick pony and then enjoy the trappings of success. I don't mean this in a disrespectful manner - building and selling WhatsApp was an astounding feat.

Most definetly, maturity and actual level of danger. I don’t think anything Woz has done is moderately dangerous. If they wanted to lock him up I’m sure he could call to a competent lawyer and state he is a respectable citizen who co-found

I guess you would get a small cloud of radioactive dust without fission yield. Generally you need to create sufficient neutron flow of neutrons of very specific energy to start fission chain reaction. This happens by bringing more of the fi

In context of ”the husband has potentially dangerous quirky hobbies, should he stop them or not”, not ”it’s ok to go ahead and ruin your familys finances” - the latter is not really a realistic scenario here.

by fsloth 4y ago
Maybe it’s my nordic background where people value independence (perhaps patholohically so). In general if a husband had any moderately dangerous hobbies it would sound a bit weird where I’m from that they stopped them just because they got

I don’t understand why you presume woz had a responsibility to ”take a care of his wife”?

"most FP ideologues run screaming from M$" This can be also a blessing that makes the F# community quite pragmatic rather than dogmatic :) FP makes pragmatic sense, it's not an ideological concept.
