   If you do a bit of a repo dive, the repo was initially MIT licensed from its initial commit for at least a couple of years before that license was replaced by Apache 2.0, so there's an argument to be made that that license also applies

   Because noone has stated an injury and made a complaint about it. It's likely that there's some copyright infringement going on with the current state of the repo (due to lack of the author's adherence to the requirements of

   This doesn't capture all of it though. There's also a bunch more that you can access by looking at commits in the Pull Requests.

   Wow, this brings back memories... I recall investigating a similar issue as an child sometime 35 years ago. I suspect this bug explains more of what happened way back when. Somehow I'd overwritten our hard disk's boot files and bo

   A stronger hypothesis to test might be the statement: "the closest kebab to the station is worse than the next farther one", which would be the intuitive implied meaning of the original statement (even though it's not a perfe

   No, it's an obvious data error. The same drives reappear in future months. Pause and look at 2013-08-01 through 2013-11-01, or 2015-09-01 through 2016-01-01 to confirm this.

   there's a few places where all the dots seem to drop (guessing there's some discontinuities in the data?) There's also a few places where there's duplicate labels (e.g. Hitachi 3TB) Would be great to group by manufacture

   As a white straight male, the only inkling that I may have been discriminated against in the workplace my entire life has come 100% from right wing media outlets and conservative politics. I have never been on the receiving end of any decis

    The core of my argument was against "There is no reason to think that LLMs will improve at all." This is a falsifiable statement if there is one or more reasons to think that LLMs will improve. I provided one such reason. I don&#x

    No, the purpose of these is to progress a nationalist agenda that advances a political goal. This is achieved by repeating the lie that these policies are harmful to members that aren't in these groups. Harming the people involved is a

    The only reason to believe that statement would be that training data is finite and cannot be meaningfully synthetically generated in a way that is useful to the LLM model. If you can agree that there are certain things which can be qualita

    GitHub often actively doesn't act in situations where acting would be prudent, which portrays from an outside perspective a disinterest in those who give their time to document shortcomings. Would you care to guess when the last time t

    If you're worried about being able to make an array where a.length == int.max, (which is reasonable in an algorithm which does any math on the length), replace the array with another substitute which you can mock the size of (e.g. in J

    No. I'm presuming that you're able to look at the branches in code and write white box tests. Here the relevant two branches are 453 and anything other than 453. For addition of unsigned numbers, the relevant branches are 0 + 0, 0

    The problem with this article's name is that we're in an era where actually checking whether "nearly all sorts are broken" against all publicly available implementations of binary searches would be almost feasible, but t

    I'd be interested to see Atwood and Ballmer in a room to discuss this (given Ballmer's Billionaire status and what he's working on recently).

    I made that exact thought many years ago and came to the direct opposite conclusion. It was worth the cognitive overhead to make the change and I haven't looked back. Most of the time I'm just hitting aliases (from OMZ's git

    I'd rephrase and simplify this article a bit. `git switch` and `git restore` are better alternatives to the `git checkout` command, as they have a lower cognitive overhead and fewer footguns to avoid. Although these commands are marked
