How is trying out a practical for anything other than unemployed new grads? I see this constantly suggested but I don't know a single person who would even consider quitting or taking vacation time to go work for a prospective company.

Most programmers have mnemonics for text motions and symbols so as long as they're mnemonics you're familiar with I'm sure there's no problem.

I can't seem to find a source for this but I remember reading an article about Kasparov playing Deep Blue talking about how Kasparov intentionally tried to use some unpredictable moves to exploit Deep Blue's algorithm. I don't think anyone

And yet the right to disassemble and replace the brakes on my car is socially and legally accepted. Why is it suddenly "scary" to modify the software?

by jotux 14y ago
So should legislation be introduced to lock the hood of current conventional vehicles to keep people from making modifications to them? Why are software modifications on an EV any more dangerous than software and/or mechanical modifications

>It could mean you can disable safety measures How is this any different from being able to open the hood on a conventional car? Or having a screw driver and socket wrench that fit the nuts/bots/screws on a conventional car?

This is correct and I guess when I titled the article "reactive text generation from markdown" I implied it should be some kind of new markdown language, which is not what I want. >The point is simplifying the writing of interactive doc

My initial idea was to have reactive-text enabled forum posts or chat input. So in, say, a hacker news comment you could embed equations in the markdown formatting that explain a specific calculation. The recent posts about how much you nee
