Me too, but I actually think the complaint is totally valid. I mean, somebody does use it, and it isn't some horribly obscure feature, it's built into most terminals, it's pretty much standard Linux functionality at this poin

That's fair. But I wonder if developing a "better REPL" won't be essentially a bug-ridden implementation of half of the ipython. Like that lisp joke... So I don't know if community work to de-couple ipython into &qu

First off, I want to say this is kinda baffling to me, that this is some kind of novel "research", and it's published by Apple of all companies in the field. I could be more forgiving that some journalists try to sell it as &

There is no "rule", it's just how these terms are defined and what they are supposed to mean if we are pedantic enough with how we use them. "Present perfect" is a tense (or, if we are really pedantic, it's a t

No, it doesn't make it a tense. Different moods may have their own form in one or more tenses and it has nothing to do with being "optional" either. To be fair, distinction is a bit artificial, but generally these are defin

As otgers have said, a mood, not a tense. The same thing exists in Latvian. "Viņš ir" = "he is", "viņš esot" = "he allegedly is".

Yeah, as if Linux has AI and Blockchain and these don't exist on BSD systems... Admittedly, Linux really isn't boring enough for me. By boring I mean I don't really want to notice that OS exists, I want a distro that has most

I really don't see what's even the problem with bare excepts. Yes, I do want to catch all exceptions sometimes. Sometimes, I don't even care what the exception is. I have ignored my linter's suggestion to fix it on multi

Yeah, but, I mean, the least you could do is to say UTC-7. I'm sure everybody living in PDT knows it's, well, their time, but how the fuck should everyone else know what time PDT is.

I don't see where we disagree. That's pretty much exactly why my points are less relevant for math papers: they are supposed to be self-contained. And while the result is sometimes interesting and can be put into TL;DR, I'd s

Then 99% who read academic research papers are not the audience for academic research paper. And that's a problem.

You are misinterptreting the law. I won't recollect the specifics now, but I wouldn't bother to comment if I wouldn't know for a fact there is a difference in data packages. My current plan, for instance, is no-limit for a sm

I am less delighted, than some in the comments. I mean, most of the advice is genuinely good general writing advice, so general in fact, that it borders on advices like "be good". Typography advices are good. But if we keep in min

There is some difference in included data packages between home and EU-roaming, but, yeah, it feels like it's about 10 years late. FWIF, 10 years ago I saw much more of free public WiFi. One part why it changed surely is security reaso

Is it really completely legal? That would surprise me. And, of course, is it is, it shouldn't be. I mean, in the end, it's just how you frame it, so it surely must be a viable class action lawsuit. When a teenager playfully hacks

We already had not one, but multiple. They lost to android. I imagine there were multiple reasons, really, but one of them seems pretty basic: simple SDKs. Even when there was no Android apps, making one was easier, than making... whatever.

Does it work with rustc binaries?

Somebody really should come up with better names. I know for a fact I knew the difference once, but right now I cannot even remember what it was without clicking the link. Surely many people who heard about this problem (and that's a l

Since it's paywalled, I assume we are discussing the title (as usual). It implies that there was the time when [we] took him at his word. Uh, ok, maybe. But what does it matter? "We" aren't the people at VCs who fund it,

You seem to have some very peculiar definition of "work". To display time, maybe? I don't think I need to buy a $800 fitness watch for that. And you cannot export any data without "connecting". Hell, you cannot real

Yeah, ok, I could assume that from the gp's post, but what about answering my question directly? How do you address him at the airport, if you have no connection whatsoever? IDK why, maybe you wanna ask him some question, or take an au

In case if here is somebody Chinese, I wanted to ask: is it even possible to distinguish given name from family name by glance? Like, in the example of "Fred Yao Ming" or "Fred Ming Yao". I mean, if you know Russian, you

There is countless number of such situations. For example, airline tickets. You cannot just enter "Jack Daniels" into the GDS, both first name and last name are obligatory, and they are separated by slash. That's just the for

About the first point, is this really universal in USA? I mean, consider you see Bill Gates (i.e. somebody well respected and quite older than you) in the airport, and you want to address him for some reason. Do you yell "Hey, Bill!&qu

I hate such "jokes" so much. I just need to say it. Obviously, me saying that won't change anything, I don't even believe there is a minor possibility that anyone reading this may remember it in the future and know bette

Currently I'm just using bare rclone to backup to my own remote machines, but obviously this isn't very professional solution. Was thinking to add Backblaze B2 as a remote, but I guess using rclone wouldn't be a state-of-the-

Technically, acceleration is movement in an inertial system... Anyway, I was wondering for a long time, why phones/watched don't attempt to do it (at least, I never saw useful results of it). Surely it would be more useful to me t

So, remembering the exact location once, and then tracking all movement with almost absolute precision, thus calculating all future locations? Did I get it right?

I think this should apply to most essential services (and libgen absolutely is an essential service; others are E2EE messaging and E2EE cloud-hosting). After all, people like to imagine (and are often told) that taxes are not a ransom you p
