Ad the now-deleted critical sibling comment: Note that OP implied the edits were innocent, likely made by teenagers having a laugh. The misedits, which OP didn't say they made themselves, presumably didn't hurt anyone and taught a

I generally agree with two reservations. First I find that there are two types of inaccuracies on Wikipedia. Mistakes that I sometimes fix, and bias that is not worth fixing because people trying to sneak in bias are dedicated and have a lo

The difference between this model and a human developer is quantitative rather than qualitative. Human developers also synthesize vast amounts of code and can't reference most of it when they use the derived knowledge. The scales are d

The EU is in an unfortunate situation due to 1.3 billion people speaking English, but also due to member states being too slow in making their governments fully digital. Speaking from experience, it is easier to set up and run a British lim

You don't risk the machine catching fire by itself but rather someone setting it on fire by letting you wash their clothes that are designed to ignite it. Or perhaps more accurately, someone spoiling your clothes by putting a dye in th

Have you tried reading the manual[1]? I read it cover to cover once and it is invaluable because it gives you the ability to understand and describe what you're trying to achieve. The solution is always one search away if you know how

One feature that amazes me about the algorithm is that it reacts to scrolling habits in what seems to be the minimum possible number of observations. Suppose half of your feed are talking head videos. Stop interacting with them abruptly by

Coincidentally I had to write this today, and perplexingly none of the answers on that popular question seem to be as efficient and readable as what I wrote: function prettyPrintBytesSI(x: number): string { const magnitude = Math.ab

I can also relate and my native language, Czech, is in the Slavic family. GP's friend probably used the word periphery because they knew it's common to the two languages, unlike the hypothetical Portuguese synonym. This applies to

From what David Spiegelhalter said earlier it's about 1 in 250k for the under-30s. That's 0.0004%. The problem is that if you control for the right parameters the expected outcome is worse, possibly by multiple orders of magnitude

GP is a straw man only in the part where it quotes David Attenborough because the quoted concerns weren't related to this accident. The rest of their argument is valid as far as I can tell - please correct me if I'm wrong. Also, D
