In Canada, we have mandatory Amber Alert notifications that affect all modern cell phones. It is loud so you aren't likely to miss it. These alerts cannot be muted, and require the user to acknowledge receipt or another alert will co

They must be differentiating between people who Post, and people who mainly Reply to posts and in threads. But even still, the number of people I know that Post more than 4 times a week surely outnumber those who don't. By quite a lot,

How's this for an educational product idea: Use AI to read a student's essay, then produce exam questions based on the content. This test would be delivered orally (with accommodation for disabilities that might impact their abili

If you want to see this in action, check out the card magician Juan Tamariz. His style uses a memorized deck order (named Mnemonica), which is arrived at through faro shuffles with a couple other manipulations to make the deck appear random

I bet switching to paper money took some time and effort. It'll be a while yet before Bitcoin and the masses are ready for each other.

I and a group of friends built a yurt. It took a day, and copious amounts of beer. That was about a decade and a half ago and it is still in use, so they're pretty reliable. Of course it has needed maintenance etc, but that goes withou

They said that about Lisp, Rapid Prototyping, and now this. I tried Co-pilot and am neither impressed nor convinced. You get a super-amplified version of Garbage In / Garbage Out, and given where Co-pilot's data comes from, that&#

The ironic drawback to Incognito is that your ad blockers no longer work. So you choose between some amount of privacy, or all the amount of advertising. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

This is a labour of love well done. The T-shirt ad when you click on the larger image of the tape you were searching for could not be placed any better. Quite clever.

Interesting debate there. A lot of really good points. I would also mention Mussorgsky's Great Gates of Kiev, as done here by Emerson Lake and Palmer, and both spelled Kiev: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsPkNUmixMs

It is more likely that there was some discussion over time. Then Musk did his part of the deal, followed by China doing their part of the deal 3 days later.

To try it out, I wrote a Hello World function, and it literally named the tutorial it was taken from. (ie: Hello, Tutorialname!) So it definitely happens often enough, although usually it is probably harder to tell when straight up plagiari

I don't get why they equate Picasso with Hitler. That seems pretty extreme. Anyway, this news comes the same day as a story about protesters throwing soup at a Van Gogh painting, which includes other examples of the same group pretendi

Format is pretty much a language unto itself. That's why it's one of the few entries in CLHS that gets linked chapters . If Lisp was more popular, format would be an excellent topic for a big fat reference book, since it can do s

This is interesting, because also in the news is the placing of human brain organoids into live mouse brains. In the articles I've read about it, they always point out that the brain organoids are too basic and too small to worry about

I still say, only as opinion of course, do not pretend you are hiring when you aren't. What you are doing is collecting personal information under the guise of a potential gig that does not exist. There is a clear moral aspect, and a c

How long do you plan to hold onto their data? Are you going to continue contact to ensure they're still interested? Are you burdening them to tell you repeatedly over the months down the road that they are still interested (or not)? Ki

A person who signs regularly can do reasonably well from the "corner of the eye" because they speak / sign in groups all the time. Reading text is not anywhere near as efficient, in terms of understanding while watching other

In the 90's, when it was discovered that NSA was filtering Internet traffic for specific keywords, people creatively did things like write network drivers that padded packets with words from the trigger list. I'm a fan of this kin

Keep note that the article is about the use of colonoscopies for screening , which they found only very minimal benefit. But after screening with something like FIT, if blood is found, then a colonoscopy is totally called for. The shortnes

After his "BLM is a scam" and anti-Semitic Instagram posts, Elon was Kanye's welcome wagon when he returned (temporarily) to Twitter. There are so few redeeming factors. He buys awesome companies to call his own. That's

Microsoft also has released this code at computerhistory.org, and I think they also have it in their github repos, so I have no idea why this person even wants to host it on github anyway. Maybe to preserve it in case computerhistory.org go

The first image has a white background, so it is fine. But your app's output doesn't set the background colour, so it is transparent and shows up as black on dark grey in night mode. Hard to see the output result on the github pag

That's a good analogy. You can perform a signed word different ways. Faster. Slower. Sloppily. Etc. And then you have your expression to go with it - surprised, bored, funny, sarcastic, etc., to demonstrate how the verb occurred. Allca

A lot of deaf people have terrible grammar because ASL greatly simplifies and in some cases omits things that aren't really needed to get the idea across. There is Signed English, but that is primarily for English speaking people and b
