Importantly my work involves me often being able to look at C and think about the assembly and back and I regularly work on ESP32, ch42(riscv) and atmega avr8. I couldn't do that with mciropython on any platform. C is a thin abstractio

I agree. You don't learn or know C++ in the way you learn or know C. You never have the total language spec in mind. Much of it you will never (and for some of it should never) come across. The way I think of it C is an abstraction of

Does it say what happened? Died of sadness did make me wonder about something self inflicted.

And it seems very few proteins appear to be significant problems. The most famous is the prion protein which can misfold in ways to cause a variety of contagious diseases. Like mad cow disease, chronic wasting disease, scrapie and in humans

I know this is a crazy take. But I go feel so down trodden by many many tech corps these days I find it hard not to have a smidge of satisfaction for this guy pointing out the colossal favour research developers do for them by responsible d

Yes I'd happily buy one if it's quality matched the price and I'm sure in Japan it often does. I have done some simple leather crafts, and I think the design clearly is suitable for building with rivets and full grain leather

Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a flash in the pan (although the asymmetric horror genre continues basically dominated by dead by daylight). Yet, the sheer exhilaration I felt the first time one of the "killers" walked past me as I kn

This study tracked study resource usage in 2021 and mentions a study in 2006. In 2006 medical students spent 10.8hours per week studying with textbooks, on 2021 4.2hours. So under 40% the textbook usage as 2006. That's a fairly precipi

I'm similar, I think perhaps it's a generational thing which slightly modified the title in a pedantic way. The people who "grew up" with text books still crack new ones and old ones. The current generation turning 18-21

There are also many suitable web versions such as https://editor.codecogs.com/ You can then download the image. The only thing I think they should add is the equation string as a comment to the images so you can upload and

I may be in the minority but I'm perfectly fine with Mozilla's approach here. They link to the full document which lists their VPN subscriber count near the top of the about Mozilla section.

Yes it does seem prudent to encrypt those keys some other way on the cloud and not add them to the clouds accessible keys. They also seem suitable for using a secret sharing scheme. I have Microsoft authenticator requests all day every day.

Crikey, it seems that the big news - a backdoor is somewhat burried. It also strikes me that these are several very high value (all but one complete) exploits. Surely the value of these on the market would be astronomical and best suited to

I don't see a problem or find this worrying. LLMs are decent at finding bugs and are actually usually able to patch. Humanity's history is a long series of, 1. WOw looks what this person can do, 2a. Huh this technology can do it t

I think people feel this is the begining of the end. Meta is part of the reason Signals E2EE spread and E2EE became ubiquitous in general. Many governments have also turned against E2EE and I suspect it's gone from a shield where you c

Yes. Importantly just because they've processed it conveniently doesn't mean they'd ever intend to share that. My first thought when I saw this is how much will it cost me to kick it up to a HF I stance. I did a trial run wit

If you're old enough you might remember the Zenith Space Commander (I'm not old enough to have seen one in use). It was an early TV remote that used spring loaded strikers controlled by buttons on the remote. The strikers hit tune

That's a lucky escape. For some reason car manufacturers have this issue Mitsubishi Pajero (renamed in Spain). Ford Pinto (renamed in Brazil). Toyota MR2 (renamed in France although slightly different issue). Honda Fitta (renamed in Sc

Apple seems to purposefully have decided to sit out the arms race. Probably smart time to rent and not buy if they plan on buying in a downturn.

Time for my favourite old man yells at cloud opinion. The internet was a far better place when websites were created by individuals mainly for themselves. And probably hosted for free on Geocities.

Absolutely this is worth packaging for KDE. Although I imagine if you don't have the motivation to make it in the first place, you likely don't have the motivation to package it.

Not wild when you consider the industry. Although those prices seem high perhaps by 20% compared to international markets. IIRC in 2010 a Litmann Classic II was $60 today it's $100. That's what most medical students and doctors mi

They are a nicer product to use, by people who are relatively well off and will use them repeatedly throughout the day for a decade. $50 (basic stethoscope) vs $200 (premium stethoscope) is simply not that expensive for a doctor or a family

It's a bit of a head scratcher. It would require abject incompetence on the part of jellybean stephoscope manufactorers for this to make sense. On the other hand the reason Litmann stephoscopes are expensive is target market (doctors),

I think we'll see a lot more of this (and it's a good thing). Automation doesn't usually replace humans it just hikes up the floor. I.e. nearly all of these (most in general?) bugs will be spotted quickly by a train eye. But

Yes I know it's an odd claim. But I as far as I recall B2 is when you start seeing native people failing the exam without preparation with C2 becoming a legitimate challenge for native speakers. I believe the same threshold exists in N

Contraversial opinion perhaps, I don't think the cards or the game itself took him to fluency. Probably the social contact. I mean N2 (JLPT levels run from N5 competent beginner to N1). Is really quite advanced. Being N2 is far further

Agreed, especially in some subpopulations. I think the strong case today is to research it's use in people with Dawn's syndrome (accelerated development Alzheimer's Disease due to 3 copies of the APP gene). Target it only to
