It might be the study discussed in this article: https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg15220571-700-why-time... But it's actually saying the opposite, 3:40 passed while the older subjects counted 3 minutes. edit:

Checking the Oxford English Dictionary (2nd Ed.), they have accessor only as a form of accessory (as a noun). So yeah, the programming use is "new". fwiw, they have "default", in the computing sense of the preselected op

It's calculated year-over-year by matching months because there are significant seasonal effects, so you can't easily go from YOY to figure how it changed month-to-month.

Could you be more specific? I've heard this mentioned before but not seen an example. Something like one of those Diskdude! strings? What game?

They're battery powered: > More than 2 years of autonomy for the ROOMZ Display and more than 4 years for the ROOMZ Sensors. Runs on single Batteries that can easily be replaced. Still, 2 years is pretty good.

For the original one at least, yes. The official stuff is at https://remarkable.engineering/ and there are a few Rust projects built around libremarkable https://github.com/canselcik/libremarkable

Interesting rundown, thanks! I'm a bit puzzled with the "not a dox" tweet, what is going on here? I know that this is probably the least interesting part of the article, but I'm confused and curious.

This is why model checking and directed fuzzing are so effective! There are situations so stupid only a machine, or reality, could come up with them.

And equivalently, if you had heavily-relied-on proofs that were as narrowly read and hard to follow as software, mathematics would be in just as bad a state.

That's a prefix code, they're defined by no code word being a prefix of another (so if you put them in a trie the code words only appear on leaves). A trivial example is the reverse: _. _.. _... Which can be decoded by,
