For me Emacs pretty much grinds to a halt if I turn on showing line numbers.

"Use" in this case means theft. It can't be repeated enough, they stole customer funds, and did something with them their self not as an agent for the customer (hesitate to say invested). At best this is like your stock broke

Ah, good point. Policy can be different than individual actions.

I know one observation is just an anecdote, but my experience is totally different. 1) I had one fall from a bicycle in my 30s from a front axle failure. My fault on not setting the quick release on the wheel correctly. I had the good fortu

It isn't so much the "G" of GMOs, but that they are mono-crops usually licensed by near monopolies like Monsanto. Things are going to be bad when something goes wrong with one these, and there is no replacement and no way out

The Cassandra point is interesting. I think the loss of freedoms Richard Stallman described were very much what was already happening around in with the Lisp environment. He was correct in saying this would be repeated as software ate the w

Super point. I can't resist repeating it back. When incorrect work outperforms correct work in superficial evaluation, it is then selected for.

A lot of the big CEOs repeat a mantra that they are really on the edge of destruction. I've heard that from 2010s Google. It is just a motivating chant.

Nice framework. Also once you allow more than one assertion, there is no need for top-level && in assertions (making them simpler tests).

Just about the only think I use swap for on Linux, is not bombing out during the fork/exec (even for something like a system call) from large processes. Back when I last looked, it appeared they need enough backable virtual address spa

In a non-compounding pharmacy (which is what most pharmacies are now days) I presume they are not making pills or capsules. So one could eliminate almost all of the chain if pills just came pre-packaged in containers closer to what is given

The previous "de-orbing 25 years after mission completion" sound a deliberately unenforceable rule.

The usual observation is the Peltier system moves the heat about one millimeter, and then one needs a conventional cooler to remove the heat from that location.

Seems a bit circular in what such audiences seem to expect. Any dietary craving likely have, in addition to mere psychological triggers, likely has some biological triggers. A biological trigger related to food craving often ends up being c

> People on Twitter are either wil[l]fully dumb or simply ignorant. Can't repeat that often enough. No matter how much I think I have internalized this, it is a continuing lesson.

Wowzers, I thought that was gong to be some template re-write expansion trick. Nope, just willing to run nearly arbitrary code if you wrap it correctly (not a complaint!).

I agree. The incredibly semantics-hostile optimizer ("undefined means I can do anything", whereas in old C "undefined" just mean you were no longer sure what number was the result of an overflow) just takes the cake.

A bit of a friend of a friend story on my part. My Mother said a close friend (whom she named) was re-configuring their smart TV. Something went wrong and a pop up on the TV started directing her how to restore her account. Her husband told

There are a number of good packages in Python specializing in variations of powerful chained processing in Pandas. My own is this one: https://github.com/WinVector/data_algebra .

I'll give it a try. The study is two small populations that are assumed to be similar. If this were the case, then knowing the study ID (1 or 2) would sometimes wrongly look predictive for different conditions. However none of the meas

I like the FromSoft games. I think the difficulty is a bit of a cross-cutting issue. What I like is the diegetic treatment of death in the games. There are reasons in game or in story reasons the player character and the monsters re-animate
