Good news. My phone would have to live another couple of years, and the next one i buy would stay with me for a decade. Just 10 years ago you could detach back of the smartphone with a nail, then switch the battery in a few seconds yourself

When does the CTO has time to be the first unit in the pipeline? How much applicants do you have? From our experience just posting a junior web developer job gets up to 1000 resumes into our inbox. And we just a small company without an est

Dark Messiah had unique combat mechanics in hazard filled environments, where you could create all sorts of physics based accidents to eliminate enemies. Game combat was showcased in the demo which made a lot of people at the time to believ

Except Malevich had written extensively about why he painted the Black Square and he never said it was to reject god. Malevich even wrote an essay "Бог не скинут: Искусство, церковь, фабрика" (God is not thrown down: Art, church,

Like everyone else i rely on open source libraries. I sometimes need to change them either to fix bugs that i encounter or to improve them in some way to better fit my purposes. It is in my best interest to send my changes to the library m

Imagine skipping i in debit. Or just say deb - it will be close. I always pronounced it somewhat like this. [1] The worst thing is that i had heard the word pronounced by native speakers hundreds of times and did not notice. Now i am not ev

Thank you. I downloaded this paper a month ago to read it eventually. Your comment made me read it yesterday and i have a question. By using the type system would we exlude potentially consistent theories? Is it similar to how limitimg ours

I can ELIP (Explain Like I am a Programmer) statements and consequences of both incompleteness theorems and two related problems. So the pemise is that you have to write 4 programs, but you can not, they all would fail for some inputs. 1. T

Yes, not the first but most open. In Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks there is a drawing "Draftsman drawing an armillary sphere" dated 1510 which shows a kind of drawing machine. It is 15 years earlier than Durers woodcut. But D

Interesting fact - Durer used a kind of 3d rendering engine to study and teach perpective. He made a woodcut of it called "Man Drawing a Lute". I learned it from Computer Graphics Principles and Practice which uses it to teach how

Just discovered plantuml and liked it - i can use some visual aid if only i do not have to draw it. Sequence and use case diagrams are useful. Class diagrams i would rather see in code. I also misuse use case diagrams for arbitrary graphs.

Einstein explained gravity without action at a distance with general relativity theory. I wonder what would Newton thought about that one since about his own theory he said "so great an Absurdity, that I believe no Man who has in philo

Chomsky refers to Galileo, who thought that theories are intelligible, only if we can “duplicate [their posits] by means of appropriate artificial devices.” So in modern terms - compute.

Here is a later text version of this lecture: Noam Chomsky - Science, Mind, and Limits of Understanding. https://chomsky.info/201401__/ I tried to edit for brevity and summarise the main point here, too: Mechanical phi

In this article [1] i see quite a lot of funny examples of false friends for czech to russian translation. Stale is cherstvyj in russian, but in czech cherstvyj is fresh. A corpse in russian is a torso in czech. Shame is attention. A cigare

Robota means different thing in czech than rabota in other slavic languages. Czech robota means corvee. There are different words for corvee in other slavic languages - "barshhina" (in russian), "panshhina" (in ukranian,

Church-Turing thesis is that for every algorithm you can compute you can define a turing machine that can compute it too. You still have show that you can compute answers to your questions about physical world or human cognition. And we kno

I find this interesting how natural it comes to use people as a metaphor to explain programs. I found sometime ago that i could read an actual code like a prose to someone who knows nothing about programming if i replace just one word - &qu

This was not what bothered me. I needed to see how this puzzle does not contradict my intuition that if i flip a coin to choose between two last doors i do get 1/2 chance of winning whatever are the chances for each door. So with 1000

I was able to predict how simulation would go when i saw the program that i wrote. When i saw the simulation confirm my prediction it was so much more convincing then any other method. If the logic was to complex for me to understand then i

This trick did not help me. Intuition told me in the end i have to choose between 2 doors and the chance of winning is 1/2. And it is if i choose in the end at random. This is what made the question confusing for me.

Programming does definetly helps me when i do not understand an idea. For exmaple: I did not understood why in the Monty Hall problem [1] do i have 2/3 chance of winning if i do change the door instead of 1/2 that my intuition tel

It seem like an illustration of the power of reciprocity in social psychology.[1] You give something away for free and then those who took what you gave feel obligated to give something back to you. I sometimes wonder if those who give away

This quote without context might give impression that Chomsky is critical of Mondragon. A bit of context around it helps to understand his point. From [1]: “LF: So it sounds as if you might support something like the Cleveland model where t
