Not really; they're an entirely different type of clue than traditional crosswords. As the poster above found out, if you go in expecting crossword clues, you're going to be confused and disappointed. The comment you're rep

How is that sensible? That allows the manufacturers to get around safety regulations by making the car cost more? That's bananas.

Wait, you don't think "James'" is acceptable at all ? What about "Jesus'", which is pretty common as an affected archaism?
124.
by mkehrt 3y ago
These are definitely both acceptable. In fact I'd go so far as to say that the apostrophe-only style ("James'") is somewhat archaic and definitely out of fashion.

My understanding is that modern academics studying Catharism take these claims with a large rock of salt. We have no Cathar writings, just the writings of those of their enemies. These enemies saw them as being in the mold of ancient here

I write rust professionally and I really, really enjoy it. It’s lots of fun, and has found a good (and novel!) point in the space of safety vs. speed. That said, I think in the 80-90% case, a language with a garbage collector is probably m

This line of reasoning is utterly alien to me. If your types add mental overhead, you’re doing something wrong. You should be able to rely on the typechecker to check invariants for you, decreasing mental overhead. You have to think about t

I (not the submitter) am hoping to get some good commentary here. I saw it go by and I’m curious how legit it is.

A youtube comment points out that this allows pawn walls which protect each other and block on file moves, just like in real chess.

Interesting. I just finished reading Ulysses with a group of friends, and I thought it was a work of absolute fucking genius. One of the best things I've ever read--possibly the best thing I've ever read--hands down. It's n

Ah interesting. I think it's close enough as to make no difference, but I see what you're saying.

The point isn't that it forces you to access the error. The point is that it prevents you from accessing an invalid return value.

In what sense aren't they monads? They have a bind method ("and_then") and a return method (Which is just the variant for constructing the success case, i.e. "Ok" or "Some"). It's more idiomatic to u

In rust the type system enforces you check the error. In go, it doesn't. (Because rust error types are enums/sums and go error types are structs/products). This seems like a huge difference. > In many cases it's

That it's good for them? Or bad? I walk about that much, and if I don't I start to get pretty antsy.

I would define consciousness as having internal experience, i.e., qualia.

Ah, you are probably right. I'm just deeply baffled by their answer.

I can't tell if she's a legitimate scientist or a crackpot. Does anyone know? (I haven't actually watched this video, but I've seen others of hers. They seem convincing in general to a nonspecialist.)

I cannot praise Eskenazi highly enough as a reporter.

This is baffling to me. In my experience, during the pandemic, everyone switched away from using cash, even if they had been using it previously. Most places even stopped taking cash tips.

I think the advantage of chess for something other than top down programming is that you're pretty much 100% what the API you want for the chess state machine is before you start. But how common is this?

This seems extremely cool. Howeever, I'm not sure I believe the attachment to the container beneath the sail is structurally sound enough to hold the wing, especially with wind blowing. Do you know that this will work? (I'm just

Interesting--I think a large chunk of my friends have stopped using twitter. Certainly anyone I had on my main list has moved to mastodon or just stopped posting.

Possibly Processing? or processing.js? The Coding Train on youtube (run by Daniel Shiffman) ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvjgXvBlbQiydffZU7m1_aw ) has some great tutorials.

Why do you believe Bard accurately summarized the article?

Such a weird choice. I'd love a copy of Use of Weapons or maybe Excession.

I really don't understand this. In what world are people creating chatbots by taking their LLMs and feeding it a page of instructions? Why would anyone even think this would work?
