If you assume the complexity of an elements grows linearly with the number of states it can assume (e.g. if complexity of a bit is 2a then complexity of a trit is 3a). Then the total complexity of for example representing a number N is log{

That's where the "mandatory" in the mandatory military service comes in (btw, I agree with your sentiment that it is stupid, the point is that you can't just not do it, you will be forced to).

I used to use vimium for years, but today I discovered surfingkeys and it seems to just be better. One killer feature for me is that pressing `I` will open a vim-like text editor for the text area in current page.

Off topic: Jesus Christ that table is bad. How badly have they messed it up that reversing sort order takes multiple seconds on my pc? It was so slow that I thought maybe it is sending a new request to the server every time I change the sor

What are you talking about? Symbian came out a decade before iPhone and was very widespread. Maybe you mean the Maemo operating system used in N900?

Yeah this is the right way of doing it. The archlinux (and most other distributions') way is profoundly stupid.

Frankly, I think dynamic libraries are less secure (at least when talking about a desktop environment, not servers) because sometimes package managers update dynamic library dependencies without actually checking if binary compatibility w

I don't think that's what they meant (or I have misunderstood). Running the same algorithm on the same input still has variations because of OS/CPU idiosyncrasies. When measuring performance we usually run the algorithm on th

If the children had headsets too they could render everybody as if they had no headsets. Whether this is a good or a bad thing I do not know.

This looks like the exact opposite of what I would do if I were to redesign operating systems. The job of operating system is just to run application and get out of the way, and most importantly be deterministic and reliable. I don't n

Insanely misleading title. The author is basically showing off their A100 GPUs. The ChatGPT part is just clickbait, the only relevance ia that ChatGPT supposedly is also using A100s (definitely not only eight of them though).
