How do you propose for this to be solved without breaking existing CMD batch files and PowerShell scripts and invocations by applications?

The issue is that we only have time as the 4th dimension, which just means the chips have to run slower to dissipate the heat over more time. ;)

I had to read it twice to come to that conclusion. Maybe the prima facie ambiguity is intentional.

While agree with the main statement, I don’t understand the point about RNG. You don’t need Turing-completeness nor imperativeness for RNG.

The usual insinuation is that if you don’t like it, you “just don’t get it”. I meant not “getting it” in that sense.

The fact that the numbers are in a brighter color than the end marks, and that the numbers go inwards, makes it slightly more difficult than it would otherwise be, because the eye is biased by the more prominent space between the numbers be

Cron also has @reboot. Not exactly the same, but has been sufficient for me so far.

The first one is pretty C-specific and for example doesn’t exist in Java. Similarly for the second one, the reason is that `while` is used for two different constructs, which for example isn’t the case in Rust. These are just accidental com

That’s mostly an artifact of concise regex syntax I believe. When you write regular expressions in an ABNF-like form, they become much more intelligible.

But that’s not how humans writing code generally think about ambiguous expressions. You can see that by how few precedence rules programmers tend to internalize, and often prefer extra parentheses to make sure that the parser interprets i

That just moves the subtle and often arbitrary differences to the functions and macros you use.

There are reasons why not that many programmers “get it”, and it’s not because the others are uninformed. It’s a matter of valuing different things.

This would result in hardware farms of such devices being automatically operated, like the existing iPhone farms used for similar purposes.

The way people voted in the last federal election did a whole lot. Granted, it’s effectively limited to people in swing states.

The article mentions that feature and how it doesn’t work for the author.

If you want, you can actually use assert for conditional logging (and other conditional program logic).
921.
by layer8 5mo ago
Few Java programmers are using assertions, the two most important reasons being that it’s difficult to reliably ensure they are enabled in production, and secondly that an Error tends to be too disruptive. Instead, most programmers use alwa

That’s not how the current laws generally work.

But who says that the numbers are representing the points, rather than representing the intervals between the points?

And for many others, the appeal of a Windows PC is that it doesn’t run macOS. But I agree that ARM is still a caveat for those machines, in particular long-term driver support.

The chance of a random 64-bit integer matching some pair of 32-bit integers is a 100%, though.

Hidden advertising is illegal in most jurisdictions, so it has to be indicated to the user for each specific occurrence and hence be trackable anyway.

I disagree, unless it’s about a topic the LLM already knows or can research based on public information, or unless the domain expert can actually judge the specification and have it iteratively corrected by the LLM until they are satisfied.

An, sorry, yes, I confused with Wi-Fi for some reason. Nevertheless, they allow changing the name they broadcast, in the sense that other devices that see it for the first time see the changed name.

It’s commonplace for Bluetooth speakers to allow changing their Wi-Fi name (SSID) using the related app. Everyone being able to identify each other’s Bluetooth speakers is exactly one purpose of that.

Chess is a precisely defined mathematical problem in a fairly simple artificial world. Most domains aren’t like that.
