That "if you can afford it" is an important qualifier. I read people struggle to source insulin in the US.

Learning to touch type is all about automating the typing, reducing the cognitive load. The load is reduced to a point where one is thinking ahead a few words and the typing sub-process (as in sub-conscious) works the queue. That queue can

That absolute -0.1 % is 10 % of where I'd like my HbA1c to move to! Nothing to sneer at.

In general yes. In particular some roads provide negative utility and should be closed or not built.

Good public infra is wealth with much higher utility than private infra.

Sure if you define terms in your own strict way you can write a long comment on how everybody else is using the term wrong. Why should people use your definition though?

I didn't expand on that but actually that system was part of a global network; entirely separate from the Internet. There was MS Outlook installed on the terminal nodes. One can see how somebody could become nervous about not having AV

In your logic obviously the majority of people must be left handed because the left arm being closer to the heart means higher blood flow and thus better stamina. Oh but why isn't it so? Because of venom? Let's set our scientists

Wordpress probably still enforces magic quotes which made me bail the hell out when I looked into it ten years ago.

Thank you, that is the best just-so story I've read in a long while! If the subtext is not apparent: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-so_story

The professionals who defined this update protocol have access to classified information I'm sure that allows them to assess risks us readers of public blog posts are not privy to! So we shouldn't judge on the morsels of public in

The funniest part is that the update was an exe to be run from the USB stick. The one thing you should not ever do on any system. Unfortunately I wasn't prepared to broach the subject in a way that didn't have me say "you&#x2

Reminds me of the time I was looking after a SECURE system: One of the tasks was the daily update of the antivirus. So I would grab the blessed stick, insert it into the Internet-PC, and using FTP would download the latest antivirus update.

So could FTX, at the time of its bankruptcy, let everybody get the assets they had title to? Because that was the issue wasn't it? They said they were holding stuff for customers, but didn't. The way I understood it the fraudsters

As somebody who operates their computer mostly at docking stations, I'm not sure what the keyboard is going to provide when all other peripherals must be available. The promise of a laptop is that it works without additional trinkets.

It's weird to me how the article in the very first paragraph mentions brute force, but as data problem. As if we hadn't seen a staggering raise in ops and memory bandwidth. Machines have been able to hold the textual history of hu

I tend to switch to the language hinted at by the accent of the person I'm speaking to. And I only notice which language I speak when I can't find a word. The question then becomes whether I can substitute the word from another la

Yeah I can't believe they wrote the whole article without including a map!

When I arrived at the blockchain part, I knew they wouldn't tell me how they'd done it. Looks like a PR dept wrote some fluff which got taken up by a magazine. The worst part is how they present it as if they totally could have pr

One thing that's only lightly touched upon in the article: Is this journey unusual and where is the fertilizer usually unloaded? The way the article is written, the ship's operators may with plausible deniability be deliberately t

As much as our brain contents are unlicensed copies to the extent we can reproduce copyrighted work: If the model can recite copyrighted portions of text used in training, the model weights are a derivative work. Because the weights obvious

English as input language works in simple scenarios but breaks down very very quickly. I have to get extremely specific and deliberate. At some point I have to write pseudocode to get the machine to get say double checked locking right. Bec

I'm not convinced machines can come up with styles like humans can. After all, a style will be judged by humans. How humans respond cannot be determined from previous styles.

Ok thanks, that sounds reasonable. Now I want to try Gerrit!

All this rebasing sounds like constant pain to pull from Gerrit. Does it actually create new branches v2 v3 after a rebase? Or how do I switch my local checkout to the rebased branch from remote?

I fitted a few low-power Philips bulbs twelve years ago, always on in a hallway. I don't think even one of them failed yet.

I don't know these places. The parent comment talked about flooded streets which from reading the article does not seem to have happened. Do you think the article misrepresents that situation or am I missing something?

I've gotten into the habit of just trying what was suggested. Often it's in an area that was a bit neglected and can use a brush up anyway. If it doesn't end up well we can look at the commit and agree that the improvement is
