Leonardo da Vinci didn't just pick up a paint brush, knock out the Mona Lisa, and call it a career. He built his skills as an apprentice in workshops doing background figures and lesser commissions. Later artists (to the present day) h

> Modern Art was created An interesting aspect of this was a (partial) severing of the connection between a lot of the population and the art world. If AI means artists need to get weirder to survive, it widens this disconnect. That mig

I like the idea, kind of like the best way to get something done is to ask the busiest person to do it.

But the market is for paper gold, so the price is for paper gold. Realistically, if you want some actual gold a lot of that price is going to be about delivery, storage, verification, etc, etc. The paper gold probably helps divert people wh

And the worst part is those of us who resemble your remark just download Git Bash et al because Powershell is too verbose anyway.

Learn something new every day! And I wish we had a stronger word than unportable for echo. You see that word tossed around on shell scripting resources where the only system it applies to is a 30 year old version of ksh and it only blows up

Part of that is increased accessibility, but I think the larger part is increased technical background. If I kidnapped a computer scientist from the 1960s and locked them in a room with a smartphone (turned off), it might be a while before

The recommendations were nice because it meant you didn't have to manually curate playlists while you're out and about (but you could still search out a specific track if you want to). I viewed them as part of the value of a subsc

They did! MATE is fairly popular, but as to why it happens I think it's about people. There are only so many people willing (and able) to do the often difficult and unglamorous programming work that goes into maintaining something like

Besides all the great steps below, I like to browse the git repo to find the files that have been changed most recently and most often. Projects, especially messy ones, often behave like lava flows where there is an active and ever expandin

It's possible to have a disorganized evil! Maybe I just like a secret villain. I always assumed a component of the forest was a way to keep Hobbits at home and home with the Hobbits.

And beyond that, I thought the first half or so of this reading (that Bombadil is a lot more than meets the eye) was also common. But he is definitely one of the most interesting characters and one of the best ways the story shows it is tak

I was amazed how little work was required, then I thought about what "exim4 has a new taint system" might have looked like if you tried the upgrade not knowing what exim4 was. Real *nix expertise is spooky to watch sometimes!

I have no idea how these folks find their jobs when many top talents are struggling, but beyond getting in the door as a hire I've seen it get back out the door as a product (ML footgun as a service?). I don't have any hard number

You would think that much force would lead to broken actuators and chess pieces often enough during development that someone would land on the idea of setting an upper limit on all forces just to save money.

It's appalling the robot was designed to ever use that much force in the grip. Even if the chess pieces were made of lead I can't see it being needed. In general, more attention to failing safe. But the kid is some kind of local c

It's simple! Grant applications are so hard because they are so competitive. They are so competitive because a lot of people want to be professors. Currently, to succeed as a professor you need a research grant. If, instead, we made it

I'm far from convinced that science is less productive as a whole than it was in 1900, though I'm sure the average scientist today isn't as productive as Max Planck (but of course he was above average in his own day as well).
