It looks like this post was second-chanced, and already has a few better answers than what I had written here a few days ago. I only answered because nobody else had commented on this post at the time.

Sorry for commenting, I guess. I was just excited to share something I knew. I deleted my reply as much as I could. In the future, you might want to ask your question a little more clearly, or else you risk being misunderstood again.

Edit: Removed. I would delete but I can't, because there's a reply now.

Stack Overflow requires you to get 15 points before you can upvote things. I imagine their reputation problem (nobody wants to post things there because it just gets deleted) plus the 15 point requirement precludes many people from upvoting

What an amazingly well researched and interesting post. I’m very grateful to the author for having done the legwork to research all of this. I loved how they were able to peel back the Todd Howard reality distortion field to really understa

My favorite memory of playing Doom on a not-PC was when I jailbroke my iPod video and installed Rockbox on it, which could run Doom. I used it to kill some time on a long-haul school trip from New England to Disney in Florida, a ~24 hour bu

As an ex-Microsoft SDET who worked on Windows, we used to test for those things as well. In 2014. Then Microsoft made the brave decision that testers were simply unnecessary. So they laid off all SDETs, then decided that SDE’s should be in

Funny you mention that… I have a DS1515+ which has an SSD cache function that uses a whitelisted set of known good drives that function well. If you plug in a non whitelisted ssd and try to use it as a cache, it pops up a stern warning abou

There's a big difference, though. In your case, you're the only employee of your business. And if you're not there the business will literally go under. And you also get directly rewarded for being there. I would guess that

The text preview underneath the search result is one thing I remember being contentious (some news websites in France took Google to court and won if I recall correctly) For mostly the same reasons people are against AI. If you read that te

I wonder if we could combine ‘thinking’ models (which write thoughts out before replying) with a mechanism they can use to check their own entropy as they’re writing output. Maybe it could eventually learn when it needs to have a low entrop

Well, that feels like a rather extreme jump to conclusions, and was certainly not something I thought the GP comment was even suggesting. I don't see any reason why people couldn't adjust from meeting friends at restaurants to hos

As someone who used to work at Microsoft, this is spot on. The sheer amount of arrogance coming from (some of) my peers who worked there was incredible. Microsoft decides for you how you would like to use your computer. If you don't ag

Yes, it’s like a video scrubber. But it’s perhaps more like the timeline in Blender/Maya, and maybe even Cinema4D ;) You are correct though, they both serve the same function. However, I’ve yet to see a video player that lets you repos

My thought was to serve a 307 (or some other redirect HTTP code, clearly I am not a web developer) instead of a 404, not to serve the found content “as” the url that didn’t exist. But agreed this would not be good general practice. It was m

I wonder how difficult it would be to make a website that, instead of serving 404's, a model does a semantic search using the nonexistent URL to come up with a URL that actually does exist and most closely matches the "intent&quot

I just tried on mine for only a few seconds. Technically, it seemed to work. However, because I had to remove the prescription lenses, the device wanted to redo hand and eye setup, so I quickly took it off again. Notes on the experience...
