Then, they tried to use the DMCA to stop people from writing open-source drivers that would have enabled it to be a generic barcode reader. There were a lot of heated words on Slashdot about this back then. Now, people would just accept tha

For instance, if you detect that it's not going to a terminal, but rather a pipe, you probably don't want terminal escape codes and want the dumb terminal entry.

Hardcoding the ANSI escape characters hurts portability. Try looking up the escape using termcap/terminfo.

What about making time_t 64-bit across all profiles and incrementing all the profile versions by one? Gentoo users are used to breaking changes when upgrading profiles.

Capital controls are becoming more and more erratic and authoritarian. A decentralized currency provides a relief valve.

The fact that googling Postel was worthless also indicates we're in a post-google search world.

Drexel University nearly bankrupted itself in the 80s, among other things, by hiring Lockheed (then Martin Marietta) for a similar boondoggle project. The project was an unmitigated disaster that never delivered anything, and the university

Most of the "random" bot content pre-2021 was low-quality Markov-generated text. If anything, these genitive AI tools would improve the accuracy of scraping large corpora of text from the web.

Kudos to pulling off state-sponsored terrorism that killed many innocent civilians, including doctors and nurses who relied on the same pagers? This is like celebrating the 9/11 hijackers for the "creative hack" of using a bo

Euromaidan was a response to the old regime being corrupt and collapsing. The only allegiance was to self enrichment.

The author of that book is part of the Silverado Policy Accelerator, a natsec state think tank. Ukraine is a different affair. The CIA funded political parties during the Euromaidan/Automaidan, which resulted in internal conflict that

They'll respond by having their politicians (both sides) ban or add 100%+ tariffs on superior Chinese goods. The whole new Cold War narrative the natsec state in the US has adopted about China is not moored in reality. The realpolitik

This is a mistake. Python tooling is a sandpit. Complicated Excel spreadsheets are another sandpit. Additionally, you can't evaluate your spreadsheet formulas if you don't have Azure access, and now you have to worry about the &q

IEEE 754 defines the result of divisions and multiplications involving NaN and Inf, which are used extensively in graphics programming. For example, 'select 1.0/(1.0/0.0)' becomes 0.0 again. This allows for inf/nans

Making 'genres' and classifying things is imprecise and requires experts in subject matter and library science to get it right. The "genre" labels here emerge out of the data itself.

In t-SNE, the distances in the feature vector space are preserved in the projected space. IIRC, these distances serve as boundary conditions to a stochastic diffusion problem. The actual positions and the orientation are allowed to be free

The 'genres' emerge out of the clusters. The fact that you can pick out 'genres' from this plot is an example of semi-supervised learning.

You run things more or less like you do on your Linux workstation. The only difference is you run your top-level script or program through a batch processing system on a headend node. You typically develop programs with MPI/OpenMP to e
