That’s not an axiom, it’s an assumption. Anyway, it’s the assumption of isotropy.

I don’t want to diminish this in the slightest, but the current system was only introduced in 2021 so it’s not like it’s a “first time in centuries” kind of thing (though it’s entirely possible that long-standing records have been or will b

I’m honestly stunned because I had no idea this issue had been raised, much less addressed.

It’s pretty common that “breakthrough inventions” are arrived-at pretty much simultaneously by apparently disparate sources at approximately the same moment in time. Consider the telephone, which is attributed to Alexander Graham Bell in mo

That’s exactly what happened. But since Apple attempted to fraudulently overcharge me twice I suppose the card issuer defaulted to “card compromised”.

If the transaction hadn’t been blocked they would’ve maxed out my card and successfully stolen funds that weren’t due to them. You really think the card is at fault here?? They were trying to take money they weren’t due. You’re defending

I strongly suggest you take a look at the FireFly 3588 ITX board with the latest high-performance Rockchip SoC and PCI-e. https://en.t-firefly.com/product/industry/itx3588j

I really want to order one of these but my recent experience with Apple has been utterly horrendous. They delivered two Studio Displays I ordered five weeks late, with no apologies and absolutely no information. But that’s nothing: for reas

As soon as I read the headline (having read Freaknomics myself) I knew exactly what the author would be getting at. And indeed, so it was: just as the introduction of abortion led to a decrease in crime after a suitable time-lag, so equ

To ease execution of x86₆₄ applications on Apple Silicon the Apple processor team implemented the x86 memory model with a series of additional experiences.

Now they really need to add iterative solution of circular references to Numbers so that it can be used to run financial models of business plans (where short-term debt and interest converge) and I’ll be a happy camper and I’ll never need t

My partner and I are in a heterosexual relationship. We often hold hands in public, sometimes we kiss, sometimes one or the other or both have arms around the others’ waist. Our ordinary behaviour could get us in trouble there? Fine, I wasn

Won’t go. Won’t watch. I’d boycott it if I ever went or watched football generally, but it’s one of those things I am absolutely uninterested in, so unfortunately I’m not even able to take an active stand against this bullshit.

I’ve never been interested in football, I’ve never watched it, and this basically ensures I never will. Basically it means that if I and my girlfriend went there we’d be considered criminals if we had sex? This is absolutely absurd. I under

I think you’re confusing ‘harmful’ and ‘malicious’. Maliciousness entails knowledge. Harmfulness can be unknowing. And as for crimes, they’re a jurisdiction-dependent notion. Let’s not play so fast & easy with terminology as to make it

Very satisfied I waited to buy an Air until the new M2 machines were announced today. In March I ordered a Mac Studio (not the Ultra model) and it arrived in early May. It’s an absolutely amazing machine.

I highly recommend Francis Spufford’s excellent Red Plenty , a very unusual book that combines soviet economics and computer science into a fictional narrative that centers upon this and other related problems.

Averaging the number of employees at the end of the first quarter and those at the end of the current quarter and applying the salaries reported paid I arrive at a quarterly salary expense of 40,000$ a quarter or $160k a year, which surpris

I utterly despise the current trend towards the subscription-based model. I want to pay upfront and rid myself of the recurring charges. Developers: you want recurring income? Welcome to the club. Your income is not my problem.

It’s hilarious. I’ve been around long enough to remember people not trusting IBM and heralding Microsoft as the underdog with bright principles. Then it became Google being the white prince on a unicorn telling Micro$oft to eff off. For abo

This may show my age, but Fuchsia smells like BeOS meets OS/400. As to why there’s so much negativity: no clue. I quite appreciate the idea of a blank slate devoid of cruft.
