So why is that extra term needed here? w = 1.0-hz; return w + (((1.0-w)-hz) + (z r-x y)); ------------------^ here

While chat is intuitive interface to start with. I think we'll see more integration of these NLP models in traditional tools, like we saw with Adobe Firefly and Unreal Engine. That way users retain the control for fine tuning and doing

TrackIR is existing and mature product using the original idea. Sure it requires extra hardware, but it's amazing in first person games that support it. You get to use your good monitor, don't get dizzy like in VR and it could be

I think it's hard to get all the details right. Many APIs already use code generation from some higher level specification, since you really want your API to be cohesive and unified. For now AI tools are great for exploration of new id

I find that money thing hard, people do spend their own money differently. If I would spend company money like I spend mine there would not be growth at all, just cost cutting and terrible amounts of not invented here syndrome.

I think tool like this can make sense if you cannot read the code. Probably this still gets confused like humans do when variables and functions are named less clearly or even plainly wrong. I wonder if reading explanation like this makes y

One option is that you just don't verify. Just filter obvious spam and hide reviews from accounts that give excessive amounts of reviews. If you have large user base, you could do some kind of randomized peer review of reviews, so inst

I think you could choose many other two properties and they would still make sense. We all know it's simplification and it's easy to read so it looks intelligent, albeit incomplete. For example I make 2x2 matrix of growing roses w

I don't really mind copyright at all. But I'm worried automation tools take away my (false) sense of control and the art of coding. Why care about variable naming since AI will generate most names anyway, why care about common lib

I wonder how much that helps, obviously you can try to assign some expected value or maybe few different scenarios on how value might realize, but then you have two different knobs to play with. If your organization has lots of politics you

Looks very good, but if I read validation docs correctly there is no built-in validation for group of fields, like range of dates or product price range. Or even more complex where third field, type of product, defines lower boundary for pr

I think it happens even with out the growth in community size. Many companies perish, many groups of friends disband, rare bands last for decades. People change and situation changes.

Yes, tech talks don't need to be boring and I agree on many points on the post. But also not just 12 slides, more like hundreds of slides. One example I have is Chandler Carruths talk in CppCon 2019 "There Are No Zero-cost Abstrat

I think game like Factorio shows that level of automation is kind of quantized. First there is no automation, then one resource is automated but others are not, then several are automatized, but combining them is not. There are gaps where b

Visualized like this it feels like security through obscurity, but there must be reason for this. I did wonder why initialization is like: 1. Initialize hash value h0 to h7: first 32 bits of the fractional parts of the square roots of the f

So comparing to more traditional established providers like Cloudinary it's much cheaper and has less options? Seems reasonable. But surely pricing and analytics is something that needs to be resolved.

I like how client and server code is separated, but I do wonder how changes in expressions are evaluated. I'm thinking about autocomplete that on new user input (needle='ad') filters previous result from server (needle='

It's looks great. I think for me biggest problem with code snippets is that I encounter them with mobile device. Lines are quite long, like who uses 80 character line limits these days, more like 160. This combined with reality that mo

I also find that setting goals from ground up works better for me. I find it very hard to believe in audatious goals so that makes them really unmotivating. But there are many directions where you can achieve small victories. I think happin

I'm not sure what is problem with that? Firefox supports service workers and other PWA stuff, right?

That kind of makes sense. You use logical expressions to build mask that you use to generate view in the outer expression.

I guess lambda is too verbose a[lambda i: i > 5] = 0 Probably would expect something like this np.set(a, lambda i: i > 5, 0) But that might be too cumbersome when combining values from multiple arrays.

Great article full of examples, learned quite a bit new things. Personally I don't quite get why something like a[a > 5] = 0 is possible (a is NumPy array). I think it is confusing to use same name for element wise comparison and th

Not sure how it's supposed to look like, but in Mozilla it looks like there are staggering levels of change. Looks like it's some sort of cell that is much higher than it should be. https://imgur.com/JmoWTAa

I guess most people use it for getting access to content restricted for different region in video streaming services. When you consider person that regularly watches Youtube they might be interested.

Makes perfect sense. When you eat, sleep and exercise well your body and mind gets better. You can always ask if more screen time causes more depression or more depression causes more screen time.

I have affection to many games in this article. While I never did know (or I guess care) idea that roguelikes were meant to be free. I think that is the reason I ended up at least trying many roguelikes you've mentioned. ADOM was a gam

I was kind of caught up on comment "if (m2, m1) and (m1, p), then output (m1, (m2, p))". When input is [(m2, m1), (m1, p)] and is pairwise switched and joined with unreversed input. If m2 manages m1 and m1 manages p then m2 manage

If you think what CRDTs can do, they enable consistently merging state over distributed system, even after partition. Usually one person edits one text snippet at time so CRDT might not be huge benefit. I'm not familiar what Xi did dif
