Google is always focused on AI. I am pretty sure there will be AI among the players who will behave like humans. Maybe your best friend in game will be an AI.

Hello, I have a phone with a big screen. I use connectbot and tmux. My single issue is that it is almost unusable when I do not have my bluetooth keyboard with me. Hacker's keyboard is not very pleasant and does not interact well with

I have never seen this $#$var trick and google is not the friend of perl operators. Do you have any explanation ? perl -ne 'print if!++$#$_' seems to work also

I have taken as rule to use awk only for trivial tasks and to switch to perl as soon as the syntax is slightly beyond my usual use cases. In perl, I would do: perl -nle 'print unless exists $h{$_};$h{$_}++' < your_file

I fully agree. Google had to comply, but it is not in its advantage because it shows that Google is too much powerful and that is problematic.

You are assuming all the peers start at the same time. It would be more fair to assume that the peers start regularly. In this case, the order does not cause issue.

Very interesting. Do you have links on this subject (or could you write an article) ?

Yes, an album with DRM is not a purchase, but a loan. The law should prohibit this term abuse in order to protect consumers.

If the law asks me to do something I do not want to do for ethical reasons, I will not do it and accept to be punished. I expect the punishment to take into account the ethical reasons and to be small. Refusing to comply is the way to make

Punitive damages to deter similar conduct have less effect when the company has just been sold to Bayer. Bayer is not a saint, but it seems it will have to pay for all the evil of mosanto.

Yes, there is a balance between preventing problem or fixing problem. It is useful be prevent problems, but it remains useful to be able to fix them easily.

Microsoft got a bad rep because of its nefarious behavior in the 90s. It has killed many concurrent. It has fought against linux, java, netscape, ... It has tried to replace win32 many times creating a mess for developers. How do silverligh

I think Boeing should fire (or demote) some high managers.

I think the blame shall be entirely on the management of Boeing. The engineering details are mainly a plea against management.

During many years, I was convinced that the only explanation of homeopathy effectiveness was the placebo effect. The mind is very powerful. A couple of years ago, I had difficulties to sleep and my wife gave me a pill. It has worked immedia

I think Boeing was in a wrong mindset: certification was seen as a burden instead of being seen as an help to build a better aircraft. But maybe it was not only the fault of Boeing. The certification process of FAA is perhaps not friendly e

I have been dubious of effectiveness of homeopathy during many years. Now, it is widely used in breeding to compensate for prohibited antibiotics. This seems to prove that tiny doses also matter.

History of Microsoft is very long. Backwards compatibility was excellent until windows XP (included). This focus on compatibility has largely disappeared in more recent versions. I am not bashing Microsoft. I love visual studio code. I love

On windows 10, I was unable to install "Flight Simulator 2004" that I bought in 2007. Have you tried to install Word 6 (mid 90s) or visual studio 1.52 on windows 10 ?

There will always be hacking. When you sell ebooks without drm and with just reasonable watermarking, you remove all the incentive for ethical hacking. This remains only the unethical hacking (the thieves).

Yes, Microsoft basic is very fundamental in understanding the growth of Microsoft. Visual basic was generating pcode and I was told that many office applications (on windows 3.1) were 90% pcode and 10% assembly. The developers were writing

It is incredible: the airframe has been designed to reuse the certification of 737. A flaw that could be fixed in a proper way, instead has been worked around using unreliable subterfuges. The aim of the certification process is to ensure t

IANAL but I feel this has sense. The patents focus generally on high level aspects. The chips are more and more versatile and integrates more and more features. As a result, a chip can be used in a way that does not violate patents but has

For me, FP is mainly support of closures in order to build higher order functions. I also think that without a GC and proper tail recursion, a FP is cripple. Above that, you have many families of FP. FP with/without strong typing, FP w
