An old metaphor: conventional brain-to-brain communication is literally serialization. The thought is serialized as a sequence of letters or sounds, as writing or talking, and deserialized by the reader/listener. As with data structure

you can divide a project into modules without using microservices... but microservices can scale in performance terms, and are the future (or something like it) IMHO - including local many-core. they also enable an app-like per usage busi

maybe VR is real this time, but I've seen nothing but hype. though Carmack promotes it, his in-depth technical reports convinced me we're a tremendously long way off. it might be OK for particular orientations and movement directi

Melbourne, Australia (I added more details above). Thanks, that sounds like it exactly! So, I'm not going crazy (or, at least, not alone in it). I'd guess it's related to industrialization in some way, as low frequency sounds

White noise + earplugs Question: when it actually is very quiet (like 3am), does anyone else hear a low-pitched hum? It's so low and quiet, it's more like a pressure than a sound. And if there's any sound at all (e.g. even if

Speaking descriptively, not normatively, it just seems the industry is moving towards easier , not safer . yes, including PHP, but also python and ruby. I think the trade-off is that safer requires more upfront design, and is more visco

(speaking for myself only): I find the ?: syntax clearer... probably because I've known it for so many years. It's the doing several things at once that, for me, makes it unclear. Of your examples, I find the very last one the c

Re 1. everything is an expression benefit, condition example: C-like languages often have the ternary operator, cond?exp1:exp2 , that is exactly this. I feel clever using it, but I consider it a hack, because it's (usually) less clear

NYT used to do similar - workaround is to adblock the specific JS script, or just disable JS altogether when on that site.

[just your first question] I don't think it necessarily implies an internal language, as crows, not being mammals, have a different brain structure. Specifically, they lack a neocortex. They instead have an independently evolved higher
