Requiring 50% in a referendum is different from and safer than requiring 50% in a parliament vote. A parliament can go against the people that elected them.

You have to understand that people come from very different angles with python. Some people write web servers where in python, where speed equals money saved. Other people write little UI apps that where speed is a complete non-issue. Yet o

Disease is fuzzy word, it basically means below some made up bar for healthiness. Take dyslexia as a simple example. That disease can by definition not exist in an illiterate population. We have raised the bar and now they are diseased in n

Last I heard those gene editing things lead to so called of-target edits, so they were basically corrupting random dna. Now in this case the baby would have died without this treatment so clearly benefits outweight the risks. But even then

All I've read indicates Robinhood was incredibly good for retail traders. Payment for order flow does not not harm the user, you get the same amount of shares at the same price, just from a different seller.

Good guys should be able to iterate the files to help users achieve their goals. Bad guys should be thrown into jail.

Ironically a project that hasn't been changed in a while "unmaintained" is a good candidate for bumping to v1, while a project with new breaking commits every day is a bad candidate.

I was raised atheist and the education I received on religion was also firmly from an atheist (I guess anthropological?) viewpoint. What we were taught was that religion in theory (e.g. what is written in the holy books) and religion as it&

I think it matters how it's done. If someone has super high consumption but also invests in clean energy to save the climate that's cool by be. If someone has super high consumption but also invests money into lobbying to deny the

Maybe I shouldn't be telling on myself like this, but I think tattoos look really cool and the only reason I'm not getting one is because how many people look down on them.

Back in those days I would either create a little scene with a knowledgeable person and someone with a question. Or I would start writing a monologue and generate a continuation for it.

Thanks yeah I probably misremembered or misunderstood.

Forcing people to explicitly casts everything all the time means that dangerous casts don't stand out as much. That's an L for rust imo.

Windows is a bit different I suppose. Many pieces come together to make it kinda work there. * Privileged gui to display and approve what will run as you mentioned. In Linux, non-privileged gui is used to request permission to do... somethi

I don't think you can realistically enforce a security boundary between root, and a user account that occasionally elevates. You can enforce a boundary between root and an account that never elevates though. And as far as I understand

What would you rather use for energy when you are at that point?

by im3w1l 1y ago
Well the goal here isn't to just run it. The goal is to run it at an attractive price/performance.

I think the best usecase by far is when you don't know where to start. The AI will put something out there. Either it's right in which case great, or it's wrong, and then trying to analyze why it's wrong often helps you

Doesn't work, no windows entry (I also ran sudo os-prober && sudo update-grub)

Grub can't even boot my windows install. Maybe it's possible but after spending 4 hours on it I didn't feel like trying anymore.

Another perspective is that it's a clever way of asking for consent. Like a trial balloon, except not even carried out for real. You get to see if the public approves of the character or not, and then you decide how to proceed with tha

Not super knowledgeable either, but I'm thinking that it's simply because it's fairly easy for animals to change size. Like imagine a size constant in your code and you can just update it and everything magically works. So wh

One thing I forgot to mention, braking as late as possible doesn't help you at all, but it does free up road space behind you, which can let people behind you get through an intersection they otherwise wouldn't.

by im3w1l 1y ago
The throughput of a road is car density * speed. So from a pure throughput perspective, the ideal driver is a tailgating speed demon. To maximize time spent at high speed you should also floor it when the light turns green, and slam the bra

Homogenizing language is a good thing because it lets people understand each other with less effort.

My intuition tells me that blackmailing at scale has the potential to be quite terrifying if you ask for favors that each seem innocent enough on their own. E.g. one favor may be as simple as asking the guy walking his dog to delay it for h

It's a completely different format. Iirc .doc files are basically implementation defined files and consist of c-structs dumped to disk. .docx is a properly specified format of compressed xml.
