You're trivializing search. DDG only works because for the hard stuff it's grandfathered into an old Bing API. DDG is small and scrappy but it's built on the shoulders of a giant investing billions of dollars.

I think it was something like 100% of their models will have an electric option? edit: yeah, found this: https://electrek.co/2018/04/25/volvo-electrification-plan-fu... . And their goal is 50% of sales will b

Nah, I think this might look worse than it is to "always online" types. And sure, it might be the death knell for Twitter and reddit. But it fortunately has zero impact on face to face interactions. I guess the 90s, before social

Oh, ha, you're right! I read this post and thought, "wow, so cool!". But after reading your comment I checked my own GitHub profile and sure enough, I have it, too!

Very interesting! Thanks so much for sharing. I have a couple questions: 1) The `bump` function interacts with the worker GenServers via `send(pid, :bump)` and the GenServer has a `handle_info` for that. I would normally add a client functi

When I read the output of this model I'm really quite impressed. However, given the sheer size of it and huge training corpus, to what extent is it just regurgitating source text?

RIP. I think I was one of the last years to take this wonderful class. I guess it would have been in 2004 or 2005, since I took it as an elective (being an Econ major) on the strength of its reputation. It was hard but so interesting! Since

It can, but then so can ruby's Bundler and elixir's Hex. But neither of them have the same issues as npm. I think npm's issues arise from a culture of making lots and lots of tiny dependencies, probably spawned by JS's a

Yeah, I agree with this. I see it kind of like Go's lack of generics, in a strange way. With Go, no one was explicitly "anti-generics", it's just the core team couldn't find a design they liked, and as time went on

Is it worth trying to move my friends from WhatsApp to Signal? As I understand it, they're both e2e encrypted. I'm also trying to move my chats from SMS and Gchat to something encrypted, but am torn between WhatsApp and Signal. Th

I don't think you're modeling the cop very well. They're not going to be in a state to reason or debate with you, and the statement "for your protection" if not paid close attention to sounds vaguely like a threat.

Very interesting post. I actually have been feeling almost the opposite lately. My work laptop is a 2017 MacBook Pro, and a couple months ago I dusted off my old personal laptop, a Mid-2013 MacBook Air to work on a side project. The thing t

Maybe intercontinental travel? I was watching the launch live stream and at one point, they said, "if they abort in this zone, the crew will land just off the coast of Ireland". That was like 9 minutes after liftoff! So if I under

Sublime Merge is a standalone app that isn't really all that integrated with Sublime Text, despite the name and coming from the same company. In other words, using Sublime Merge with VSCode is roughly the same as using it with Sublime

Once `mix release` was added natively to Elixir in 1.9, I haven't found the need to use distillery anymore. Is there still a use case?

No, this is just atrociously wrong. It pains me to see because the post you're responding to about getting everyone to chip in a small amount to investments every month is one of my pet goals that I've helped many friends with. Ev

I know pcwalton has been banging the "just use threads" drum for a while now. Rust used to use a green thread approach, but if I recall correctly, they ripped all that out for just native threads with the idea that in most cases

Not necessarily. Their population survey had 1.5% positive results. The false positive rate of the test is not known for certain but I believe the 95% confidence interval goes up to 1.7%. If that were the case, all the positive tests coul

"Yelling fire in a crowded theater" is a great example because it comes from a horrible Supreme Court ruling defending the arrest of someone handing out anti-war pamphlets. I can't think of a better example of something that
