Nice and very responsive, well done. I searched for "Imeprial March" (the John Williams Wiener Philharmoniker version) and this was one of the highest ranked results: Inauguración del Ferrocarril (by Nathan Stornetta). I kind of c

I'd rather try to empower students to use ChatGPT as a tool or incorporate it into class work than worry about cheating. This is a pretty unique time for teachers to step up and give their students a nice edge in life by teaching them

I highly recommend this, it made the whole topic of "how does a computer actually work" approachable for me. On their website there's a projects section where they highlight things their students did and there's a projec

Oh cool I wasn't aware of these. Thanks for sharing, both look very interesting. I like the idea of reusing projects to teach different tech :)

Yeah I'm more interested in the ISA and diving back into low level stuff. Doing everything in Rust is more of a nice to have but my goal is to default to Rust and only reach for C if it is absolutely neccessary (I'm ok with C but

"Hands on Rust" teaches Rust by building a rogue like game step by step. Before that there's a chapter where you rebuild Flappy Bird from scratch that teaches the "basics" before diving into more advanced concepts i

RISC-V (+embedded Rust) is my tech-skill resolution for the year. I like the openness and the modularity. I've massively ignored everything close to the metal over the last couple of years so it's kind of fun to dive into an ISA.

For reference, 4 of them are still in the current TIOBE top 50 ( https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ ): BASIC: 6 and 13 Pascal: 16 (Delphi/OP) COBOL: 27 ML: 50 Mentioned as being in the next 50 (for reference, Elixir

My exposure to SmallTalk has basically been from professors who always referenced it as great and a pillar of OOP back in the day at university. Of course I was a crontrarian student who was drinking the functional cool aid at the time so m

It's a great time to dive into board games. There are so many great ones available these days. There's also a renewed focus on solitair board games which have replaced some of my leasure reading as a nice calming activity. Highly

The problem with this approach is that it is biased towards short term effects at the cost of long term effects and when you realize this it's too late already. "Feels better" is obviously a very good heuristic and usually wh

The key advantage of Python is that it's good enough at many things and that there is a giant infrastructure of libraries and a huge community (and thus tutorials, howtos, stackoverflow answers etc.). You mention Julia/C++/R

I'm curious if you are also opposed to encryption in general. How about https? Should all traffic be http?

That's exactly my experience in Europe. We want to fire 50 people/close a factory/whatever without blowback...let's hire McK to tell us to do exactly that. I've also had some experience working for a smallish compan

I never got into BBS because Europe but I had a similar experience (or origin story). My first quest to find another programming language came when I figured out I needed something that could produce .exe instead of .bas. I went to a local

That's exactly why they are my place of last resort now. There used to be a time where I bought almost everything at Amazon. These days I have very little trust that the products aren't some cheap knockoffs or already used and rep

My cousin had a cycling accident where his helmet cracked in half (pretty much) but the head was safe. He just slipped on some leafs or ice or something so there wasn't even anyone else involved. Ever since I saw that picture I'm

This is interesting. It seems like there was some time/thought invested into trying to be sensible in the responses (they use Moderation API). Alas, it seems like this is pretty over the top and approaching parody level. Maybe this is

The skill here is to find some ways to chunk the final output into smaller sizes. That usually means compromises and sometimes publishing some stuff that you want to reference later in lower level (or only tangentially related) conferences

I think I agree with this. The "great minds" will always (or let's say often enough) be driven by intrinsic motivations. So the goal should probably be to give them "good enough" environments so that they can concen

Nicely done. Really enjoyed it. Would be interesting if you combined it with DALLE-2. Either with a prompt at the top that generates the picture on the fly or just by curating some DALLE-2 pictures and using them for the puzzles (and maybe

Wow thanks a lot. I wasn't aware of this website. That's a place to spend hundreds of hours :) They even have printed books covering all their articles...those will make excellent x-mas gifts for some friends of mine.

There's quite a few in Germany. The most famous one is probably Merck (1668). There's a couple of really old banks (Berenberg Bank in Hamburg, 1590) and the industry with the most old companies is probably the glas industry. There

I have not followed this saga at all but for individuals, legal fees are also usually covered by insurance in Germany (I'm assuming this applies for the stockfish team). So, assuming they have legal insurance (which is quite common) it

I don't fully agree. I do think it's a pretty bad and predatory industry but there's a tiny bit of value. It does provide good estimators of probabilities of real world events. Like if someone would ask me how likely it is th

I can only speak for MTG Arena. Been playing it 100% for free since a bit before DMU came out. I play pretty much the number of games that give me stuff, often 4 wins/day because I don't have time to play more. Mythic in Standard

I was very positively surprised by Andor. I really like the way they show the empire side of things and how one (presumably) "advances" in such a system.

I basically write code in any paradigm but (loosely defined) FP feels very natural to me. Immutable data and thinking about how functions get some input and provide some output is the most natural way of thinking about a domain for me. I ha

Thanks for pointing this out, I've never heard about this model before. Sounds quite reasonable to me. The only problem I see is if they treat all requests equally. I'd be concerned if security related PR get cancelled because the
