Purely speculation, but maybe because it makes a typo way more likely to invoke an actual command? If say, "rm" was just "r" and "find" was just "f"... well those keys are right next to each other on

They own Sunrise, which has produced a ton of the most famous anime series (they own the license to Gundam, for instance). Bandai USA was responsible for a ton of the shows I grew up watching on TV, from Power Rangers to Dragon Ball.

I think this implementation is intended as a toy or proof of concept, maybe something like this could be used but I doubt this specific one would ever be used in a product. Seems like a lot of overhead for a single-purpose microcontroller.

Very likely true. I know that stockpile maintenance is at least a tangential concern for all of them, even if it's just to have something available in reserve. Budget allocations are complex beasties, especially in DoE which pursues a

Summit is an open science machine (meaning any researcher can apply for time, but it's very competitive so getting an allocation is difficult) and is not budgeted to NNSA for stockpile maintenance as far as I know. It should be running

This article suggests that Summit cost somewhere in the low $100 million range and last I heard from DoE that was accurate, so they aren't exactly paying retail. https://www.nextplatform.com/2016/11/20/de

I agree, I think they should focus on filtering quality not censoring based on content (as long as mature content is gated off). They should be policing broken games and asset flips.

I think the parent's point was that this probably won't attract that many new users - most of the people who would buy porn games (especially VR ones) are probably already on Steam. I do worry a bit that it might trigger some so

Yeah the thing I see that sometimes confuses people is that they think "else" works kinda like "finally" or "__exit__" in a context manager, where it's guaranteed to be called even if an exception is raise

I seriously doubt it. I do agree with you, it's not a big deal for most devs. The only place I'd worry about it is systems where it might be expected to be in service for many years or intended to be ported frequently. In that c

There are some old architectures that used one's complemeny and there are probably some still in service e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIVAC_1100/2200_series

Heh, that's the conundrum about weddings. It's supposed to be about you and your spouse, but the people getting married end up spending all their time stressing out over keeping the guests entertained.

My point is mainly that it's determined by the loop iterator, not the body of the loop; the else clause being skipped if you explicitly break is a consequence of this, not a cause. This is important because there is another case that c

No, an explicit break skips the else clause and the else clause is evaluated if and only if the iterator in the loop raises a StopIteration exception (i.e., it's exhausted). For example, this code will still evaluate the else clause ev

This is exactly why I warn people about relying on Fusion 360 too heavily. Fusion 360 is a good piece of software and they let hobby users have it for free, but Autodesk loves vendor lock-in. If they decide to pull out the rug or fold you

I remember me and a friend figuring out how to use `net send` to send messages in my middle school typing class. They had everything so locked down, but they allowed command prompt for some reason. We felt so accomplished.

It's just my choice of words, I don't think they are calling it that. I doubt they're gonna focus on monetizing it any more than the library manager they already have (which is to say, not at all). You can probably buy commer

This sounded like BS to me so I looked it up, but it seems like there is some genuine scientific evidence that this is a real thing. The baking soda doesn't actually make it into your muscles, but it does lower the pH of your blood, wh

Yeah I'm aware, they're just limited. My problem is that they are focused on component-wise manipulation. There's not a good way to do symbolic manipulation of generic vectors/matrices/tensors AFAIK. It's impro

Sounds like they are planning on having an app store with pre-built cores that you can load into the FPGA depending on what functionality you want. It's a pretty good model and Arduino isn't the first to try it, hopefully it works

Von Neumann was also fairly normal. I can think of a few, but I can think of far more who were crazy (many, quite literally).

Oh, right indeed. I had forgotten about those since they aren't really practical. I honestly find it pretty amazing that any sub-cubic algorithms can even exist for dense matrix multiplication. It's just far enough away from my ex
