What is the point of being frustrated by referencing important things. For most of the world, colonialism is one of the most important things that ever happened, as it directly affected most of the humans alive. Would you be similarly frust

They catch CO2 from air. They make fuel only from this and electricity. Then once someone burns the fuel, it produces the same or less CO2.

They hot-swapped all kinds of model hyperparameters such as changing activation function and optimizer. It doesn't look like there was a principled reason why they kept switching optimizer or activation function. Maybe as they were tra

Solo TTRPGs have been a thing since TTRPGs have been a thing. You do realize that centuries before solo video games, there were solo table-top games? They fell out of fashion due to (1) solo video games became standard (2) table top ended u

I don't like it because it's not backwards compatible with traditional Western notation. This will cause problems with anyone transcribing Clairnote work without being an expert. What looks like G, actually notates G#. Major probl

I frequently edit CSVs by hand. As long as you understand your data, and stakes are low (e.g. it's a one off analysis not prod code) it's pretty easy and convenient.

I like the format description, thanks. Sounds like something I might implement some day for fun! The reason I still don't like this is because most of the time I'm sharing csv is to a jira ticket or an email, or to customer and cu

These anecdote-based "it's not that bad" comments are very misguided. Even the OP article clearly points out statistically even small differences like 5'7 vs 5'8 make huge differences and something like 5'6 to

Unfortunately, I don't expect to have emacs server running in an EC2 instance intended to run a company service since it needs to be a copy of prod instance (for testing/development). In such instances nano is helpful.

by gnulinux 5y ago
Regardless emacs can take long to boot up (unless you invoke it with -Q) but nano is instant. So when I need to change one line of a file real quick, nano is the better tool imho.

I don't understand and agree at all. If information is from public sources, why should spreading it ruin someone financially or mentally? If it's not illegal, what kind of repercussions are acceptable here?

by gnulinux 5y ago
No, it is not. It is public information. The only thing kid did is tweet information that can be accessed by all persons in the US. Do you mind not being stubborn on things you don't know about?

by gnulinux 5y ago
The information shared was perfectly public, in this case there is no such thing as doxxing. What you're also missing is that US legal system can bankrupt you financially and mentally if you're poor enough. Musk is clearly in th

It is good for programmers. Programmers think in many different ways, but it seems to me that a sizable portion of programmers think of code in terms types. Type hinting makes it easy to convey type ideas. Where are we going from which type

I wouldn't call it a full interpreter, it just walks expressions' AST. No way to create class/abstractions.

Uhhh I did this back when I was an infant (probably 12 or something I'd play games with cheats) and to this day I can't derive any enjoyment from most games. Cheats really do ruin it for some.
