I wasn't suggesting the presidency for the guy. You know how the people around him keep getting replaced for being out of touch with reality.

Be careful about that Brooks guy, he might qualify for the White House, the way things are going these days.

So, how exactly is evaporation to outer space less of a problem in these red dwarf systems? Shouldn't eyeball planets suffer of that depletion especially?

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with the panspermia argument is that space is a very unfriendly place for anything living to reside. Okay, it might be that conditions on Eart

When I quit schools at a level that should have prepared me for "work", I left a place that had me running at full speed and flailing. Ever since I took hold in my career on my own terms, I knew that is probably the very elephant

Who said you couldn't have a hexagonal lattice? Instead of 8, every field has 6 neighbors. The only problem with that really is that you have to expect the 23/3 rule to look differently on that grid. So, no standard glider.

These visualization techniques have something going for them. I mean, it's amazing work and with new visualizations, people will make new conclusions based thereon much more easily. Analytic continuation ad nauseum. :)

I guess you couldn't continuously support and update (terrorize?) people's smart stuff otherwise. It's not like open source, where you build it and are responsible when it breaks.

As a CS history lesson I think bash is extremely well fit. The UNIX shell started off at some point, and in the meanwhile it became possible to use newlines and spaces and unicode, and to have that tool still proving its usefulness after al

Actually, for a rather unconventional understanding of the term "machne learning", which is basically anything that makes living and working with machines easier, you don't necessarily need to make the machine's function

It's not surprising, it's actually a birthday paradox kind of thing.

I think both is true. Taking care while being the wild thing you are, is basically what coming of age is about. The more you know the world beyond your comfort zone, the more unlikely places where they are you can find, too. With age you ar

I'm 33, love metal and what is that football thing you're talking about? Oh, we have something similar here in Europe, but I don't follow that either. Do I have to grow 40 to realize that life is unfair and finite, happiness

...get a real job. Both you as a con artist and you... as... wait for it... the person pretending to be an imposter you are.

I don't really see the downside here. You can now literally not buy into another newssite's BS.

Exactly. You might end up giving yourself a harder training than anyone around you. And there you go. My current job is mainly kata for me, because most code reading, tweaking and engineering I do is well within my abilities. I can both cho

I was once told that optimizations in the sense of dead code elimination the way clang does it could be bypassed by making a variable volatile... Wouldn't that help here as well? volatile unsigned char *p = malloc(w * h); ...

I don't understand how someone who ended up working on a C compiler feels intimidated by the standard/-s such software needs to adhere to. And if such people work on a C compiler, we're not logically in for a ride of WTFs?

As far as I understood what I do about C, is that most of C's here called "quirks" have actually been enablers for much of the portability and performance of modern platforms. Therefore I don't like "undefined behav

YAY, they published it!!! I think this is amazing news. I'm almost fully convinced to buy a Switch now.

So, what about the obvious rename to "Jugoter"?

That reminds me of the cognitive bias of trusting a behavioral flowchart from a stranger on the internet. Or the cognitive bias of having to weaponize everything that's even marginally psychological. But hey, I'm not here to devel

I followed the debate with Jordan Peterson. That Queen's University talk with everybody chanting idiocy outside was creepy stuff. What the serious breakdown of civilization.

When it comes to these things, I remember when I was younger, how "metal" always was an interesting study object. I would have to decide myself which of it was "artsy" and which of it was just "for the masses",

The way you're presenting the issue it's making the whole question about taste unsolveable, really. Knowing what is great in ones own measure can still be learned, though, and please trust a stranger on the internet on that accoun

What's it called when you look for a general wisdom in an everyday situation? ethics? That's all I see myself pointed to in the article. Would we accept "OR ELSE" as a society? Should we? What laws does our government co
