And that's the same Wheeler in the Burrows–Wheeler transform.

Having read the materials, it seems misleading to call it the invention of assembly language. More like the invention of machine programming, i.e. what the paper calls "coding of problems", i.e. turning a problem into machine code

You can tell all this revisionist history is written by people who did not experience it. Macbook market share grew among developers because it had a BSD shell and worked well with the web and mobile stacks of the mid- to late-2000's t

Is there also a lot of custom rebuilding of pipes or nails, either the exact same ones or in a new shiny material?

It's not companies putting ease of use for their engineers above others. It's their engineers putting ease of use for themselves above others. Blame the industry itself. Nowadays engineers are wannabes after money, not great desig

Isn't your whole point that goods were already paid for in one quarter but were held up until the next quarter to clear? If consumption and import were in the same quarter then it doesn't affect GDP at all in an accounting sense.
427.
by pishpash 4y ago
I know it's real GDP. I'm saying this number is noisier when inflation is high because you only ever measure nominal GDP and then deflate.
428.
by pishpash 4y ago
Doesn't matter the reason, net net less goods were produced. Imports couldn't stay at 4Q:21 levels forever, only the timing of the imports was shifted around.
429.
by pishpash 4y ago
That's too noisy given inflation is 6.6%.

It's like tech debt, you have to clean house once in a while because there is no natural tendency to do so.

Like an AI-assisted photoshop, but that's not restricted by language, only interactivity. Down the line you'll need a direct mind meld because some ideas don't have words to describe them, but that's not the "next i

But worse, because cameras back then had horrible shot noise and used horrible JPEG compression.

Yeah that webcam looks too new tech to be from 1994. That kind of device made for clipping to a laptop is mid-2000's tech. Early webcams were round or square and came on their own stand. More importantly, USB 1.0 was only standardized

Ok, let's make it, has he infringed upon the rights of others or caused them material harm, both of which have copious amounts of laws against them? Otherwise it's nothing more than you disagree with him or don't like him for

In a vacuum. The aerodynamics aren't possibly the same.

HR issues are the subset of people issues that affect the functioning of a company. If there's no company there are no "HR issues", only personal legal issues. Has Stallman broken any laws?

Because people are literally telling you what to do everyday, and getting another job doesn't change that, only who tells you? The whole point of FSF is that everyone can have control over their software and do whatever the heck they w

by pishpash 4y ago
No. The confusion on your part is you think Stallman acting like this makes him part of some authoritarian structure, but it does not. He is not telling anybody how to do their work, because they can just fork his code. He is simply ignorin

by pishpash 4y ago
Moreover, it is completely aligned with how Stallman operates. Most people do not have doctorates, so universities and recipients can arbitrage the "doctorate" title by a socially acceptable lie wherein the recipient understands t

by pishpash 4y ago
Yes, the behavior of people working under a rigidly hierarchical, authoritarian structure in which they sign over all their ideas and work and have no control over them. The complete opposite of what Stallman advocates. You don't find
442.
by pishpash 4y ago
Maybe universities should stop giving them out then. They can literary give any other honor but they choose to tie it to a doctorate and insult people who earn real degrees. How is Stallman the problem?

As if companies are the source of truth on things?

In what world is this true, except at fly-by-night places that advertise on TV?

Germany's fucked, been trying to get an independent strategic position for 100+ years and continually sabotaged by Anglo-Saxons.

Of course it's going to work, regardless of the reason for inflation. Lower demand and prices will come down. Neutral stance monetary policy is meant to grow the supply of money at the same rate as the economy grows in the long run (+2

It's very simple, the US did the most easing due to the "exorbitant privilege" and so has the strongest economy coming out of the pandemic and so it can afford to raise rates the most and so it exports its inflation to other

You are talking about compressed sensing which is not lossy compression (compressed sensing can be lossless unless you're dealing with noisy measurements). But say you're doing noisy measurements, and you are under-measuring like
449.
by pishpash 4y ago
Why would you want to lossily compress any medical image is beyond me. You get equipment to make precise high-resolution measurements, it goes without saying that you do not want noise added to that.

by pishpash 4y ago
You can already "compress" them down to a few words, so you have your answer there.
