The only context I've heard about it has been when the Mac Mini clusters associated with it were brought up. Perhaps it's the imagery of that.

I would think it would act more like a security deposit, and you'd get back 100%, no profit for the journal (at least in that respect).

I'm curious how you think AI would aide in this.

I've noticed this pattern, and it really drives me nuts. You should really be doing a comprehensive literature review before starting any sort of review or research paper. We removed the authorship of a a former co-author on a paper

I'm an author on a paper on breast cancer, and one of our co-authors generated the majority of their work with AI. It just makes me angry.

The Z80 is still used in consumer products. TI-80/TI-83 calculators are a well known example.

At work we have a bunch of GitHub actions for integration testing, building models, publishing, reporting, and whatnot. It was horrible to maintain and look into whenever something went wrong, so I rewrote all the individual parts in Perl a

Seems like an interesting idea. If only I had the time ;)

How does this differ from services like NextDoor? I'm not familiar with it but it sounds similar.

Yeah, I was wondering this as well. At the very least, this appears to be an Element requirement that was just enabled by a Matrix protocol update, so moving would be possible, but afaik Element is extremely popular as far as Matrix goes.

What exactly does this entail? I'm willing to be charitable in assuming that their use of "verify" isn't the modern usage of "give us your ID!" but I'm not enmeshed enough in the ecosystem anymore to know.

I’ve tried! Most I’ve ever gotten was an inefficient way to fill some disk space and an ‘act’ that didn’t work :-)

What happens to it up the callstack? Say they propagated it up the stack with `?`. It has to get handled somewhere. If you don't introduce any logic to handle the duplicate databases, what else are you going to do when the types don&#x

This is incredibly annoying. I've been trying to fix a deployment action on GitHub for a the past bit, so my entire workflow for today has been push, wait, check... push, wait, check... et cetera.

A friend of mine was able to get through a few minutes ago, apparently. Everyone else I know is still fatal'ing.

The figures in this article are really great. How where they made? If I was to try and recreate them I might render things individually and then lay it out in Illustrator to get that 3D isomorphic look, but I assume there's a better wa

Completely unrelated, I trust.

This is awful. I work on epidemiological simulation software for a living, and while we've been running tons of simulations on a national/statewide scale, I had no idea it was that bad in Canada.

I really, really hope data can be recovered from this. I’ve read a bunch of the original sources, and such an ancient C would be especially interesting to study. Very proud to have had this found at my University :-)

That looks really helpful. Now that I can better see the difference, I'll definitely try it the next time I write Perl or Haskell!

I wrote a pretty complicated set of GNU Makefiles for a simulation library at work, but was annoyed I had to work so hard to avoid collisions, so I'm working on a "more sanitary" build-your-own-build-system/build-system-

Functional programming is a different way of thinking about solving problems. People say it's about thinking about "what you're trying to compute" versus "how you're computing it," but quite frankly that n

Well, sure, but this is a problem nearly as old as Go itself. I thought they were referring to larger more recent things, like how generics work, or something to that effect.

How so? I’m not that familiar with Go anymore.

I’m curious what you mean. Surely there’s the overhead of unpredictable memory access?

That's something I really like about this front. I'm not a huge fan of ligatures and think they're counter productive. Makes it a bit harder to see the differences though, so I think a comparison would be great.

It would be nice to see some comparison with other fonts on the GitHub page; the symbols look normal to me, at least. It looks very pretty regardless!
