AI doesn't have to learn to be classed as AI. Source: Every video game ever made. Just look at deep blue. Most would consider that AI, but AFAIK there is zero machine learning involved. Edit: I think I hit the wrong reply button, meant

To be clear, Go is not "solved". We just have AI they is strictly "very good" at it (superhuman).

Pretty sure parent meant that one wants something, opens the fridge, and then immediately forgets what one wanted. Not sure this is specific to males, though. In my experience it's been pretty evenly distributed between the sexes.

It only shows what it finds, and it only searches what is already indexed. If you want something to show up, you need to include it in the search indexing, run a reindex, and wait for the index to be completed (and potentially reboot). For

I am in this exact situation. It's one of the best places to be in as an employee IMO.

Employers will hire the best for the job. Don't mistake meritocracy for scabbing, nobody is entitled to somebody else's money. Employment is, after all, a consensual trade between two parties.

opensource.com would beg to differ. I suppose it depends on where one gets their definition from.

I'm not sure if this already took place, but didn't Musk say they were going to layoff loads of inefficient contractors a month or two back? Could that be the "restructuring" that is being referred to?

Yes it is. Open source literally means that the source is public. I think you mean CC non-commercial is not "free software".

Wot. Citation needed? I may not be an "android user (average)" but I download apps every day (paid and free) and have spent far more money than I'd like to admit on the Play Store.

> This is, I imagine, part of the reason why so many developers left single-platform development for web development. At least, that's my reaction. Spot on. You even gave an example of this: VSCode. If Microsoft is doing it, you can

I know I'm not contributing to the discussion (sue me), but I just had to let you know that that last sentence made me chuckle.

I use GitKracken, I love it. SourceTree kept crashing :( Anyway, my comment is that I still need to use CLI for some things, ie. Git merge squash, so while the GUI apps are good learning tools for git in general, you still need to Google th

You're mentioning something about zooming with two hands. I exclusively use one hand to browse, and I use double tap drag to zoom. The thing I find most annoying is moving my hand from the bottom of the screen up a bit to reach the nav

I love pull to refresh in Chrome. Considering I usually hold the bottom of my phone with one hand, if I had to move my hand to open the menu and click refresh every time, I would use a different browser. Also the refresh doesn't happen

I believe you're making two assumptions, one of which is untrue, and the other isn't necessarily true. The first being that it's a better indicator of independence to have no CEO than a Microsoft appointed CEO. The number of

I'm trying, but I can't see your point. Company A doesn't have CEO. Company A gets acquired by Company B. Company B thinks it's a good idea for a company to have a CEO, and so provides an employee to take that role in Co

I specifically avoided the example of roads, because, yes, everybody uses roads, and so everybody should be taxed to pay for them. My point was that people shouldn't have to pay for a service that they have never, and will never use. I

I absolutely do not disagree. My entire point is in your first paragraph. > The superficial “number” of parameters is not important. Whether the number of parameters is small or large does not change the complexity of the function, thoug

You're absolutely right about the floor space, I had not considered 3x4m glass boxes, and I apologise that my post came across that way (pure provocation) -- perhaps I was in a sour mood. I have not worked for a significantly wealthy c

I tried using Angular 1 when it came out and it seemed like too much work to learn for such a small benefit. I started learning React at the start of last year and have found it phenomenal. I am not comparing the two, let alone arguing in f

It takes self-awareness to not get too carried away, and courage to say what you think is right. I know you didn't explicitly agree with me (or anybody for that matter), but the mindset that you conveyed is what we need more of on both

Absolutely my bad there. Thanks for the info! jQuery's popularity must have been phenomenal, because I hadn't heard of Prototype until maybe 2011.
