Great post for intermediary programmers, who started programming in Python, and who should now learn what's under the hood to get to the next level of their education. Sometimes (perhaps most of the time), we should ignore the nitty gr

The fact that there are reasons for things that they are how they are is one thing, and it's true he does not elaborate - but I take it his point is one of general attitude: U.S. Americans are different from Japanese. I would not say e

This looks pretty cool - except... modes like in vi are a no-go area; has anyone tried to modify the GUI (key bindings) to make it similar to Emacs or Notepad? The extra keypress for switching between "i" (inserting text) "ES

Buffet loves making money, is may be the wrong guy to give it away. Based on his article, his children seem very locally oriented rather than global visionaries. If I was him, I would not leave this to my kids, who may never agree on much,

The OP is anxious to predict the future because he has been wrong or late in the past, but that should simply been seen as a first attempt. Because there is enormous value in predicting somewhat well, it's only fair that a first round

Nice to read an older piece of clean C code once in a while. Gives me that cozy retro feel and fond childhood memories. Beautifying the output sounds like a good idea, perhaps something like this should be an option of standard ls? What str

Why was the page generated? Is it a landing page to anticipate interest in order to decide to implement the framework or part of a link farm?

Reading some of these books recommended here, perhaps the most shocking thing is that so much is due to randomness: an arbitrary person does something small that turns out to be on the critical path, and without it the big thing would not g

This code is very beautifully written, thanks for sharing. However, you should consult the book "C: Interfaces and Implementations" by Dave Hanson, which has a library called "Arena" that is very similar to your "Po

There is a lot of truth to this. Having said this it helps you in terms of personal growth to immerse in another country, culture and language as much as you can. (If you view it as a challenge that you enjoy taking on, and you enjoy the ta

Better to trust independent news agencies like AFP or Reuters rather than news outlets from the fighting parties, IMHO. This one is produced by "Ukrainian volunteers". I'm not saying this is "fake news", just be awa

The European Union has just made producers of software liable for bugs, as has been the case with other e.g. electronic products already for a long time. This means it would be quite risky for companies to rely on only a few junior develope

Great article. I have had a similarly positive experience with older laptops, in particular ThinkPads (x230) and Latitudes (e7460). The older machines often also have much better keyboards than more recent laptops, IMHO. As the OP writes, s

I believe most people do not WANT a new device, as getting used to new ways and new quirks is a unproductive distraction. For instance, I would pay a lot to get my BlackBerry back, screw all that app bloarware nonsense. Fast email, phone, a

Grammars are not AI, it's just another formalism (like regular expressions, Turing machines etc.) - formalism alone doesn't solve anything. In formal language theory, you have different classes of grammars, the most general ones c

You could use CPU inference on a smaller local model (either always or after a demo budget is spent). Don't forget to put up a "donate" button.

The idea sounds useful. For European citizens: there does not seem to be a company behind it, and no Data Controller is given on the site, so it's not GDPR compliant.
