A while ago, I submitted a raw Wiki link to "Ligne Claire", a drawing style adopted by Hergé of "Adventures of Tintin" fame. That made it to #1 and remained for a few hours. It is not very unusual.

Is this an official archival page from some foundation set up by the Jobs family / Apple or a fan made webpage? I didn't see any further information.

Reading all this discussion, I am made acutely aware of the many times I would want to login to my AppleID page only to have Apple send a prompt to registered iOS devices (or SMS). I think they're the only ones who don't follow an

I am guessing this research could end up getting nominated for an Ig Nobel prize [1] 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ig_Nobel_Prize

A lot of people cannot wear contact lenses because of myriad eye related issues. Although cool, I don't see this technology soaring anytime soon. Maybe as a proof of concept, until biocompatible electronics become mainstream.

The moment I read the heading, I sort of guessed this was about Anima Anandkumar. She is making good progress in NVIDIA as version 2 of herself. Her previous persona was controversial and polarising. Good to see the positive change IMHO

I have another strange issue. The document attachments which come along with incoming email are still listed in "Documents" tab in Outlook even after they have been purged from secondary trash. The documents themselves aren't

In India, movies & shows that are shown in theaters and broadcast media are subject to Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). However majority of American sitcoms are OTT and hence still not under the purview of CBFC. Let's no

Again, I am not Meta employee. But the answer points to (maybe?) yes. When Microsoft used to have 7 tiers of project approvals & Google made increasingly a distinct border between L4 & L5+ in matters of seniority (read: obedience),

Zuckerberg as the "Boss / CEO" sucks & many folks question the business decisions of the board. But Zuckerberg as the engineering manager (I am told by multiple sources) is still well respected within Meta infra & en

I like Die Hard 4, which is a decent action flick with Timothy Oliphant playing a rogue hacker ripping off the US government.

Not related to nuclear, but the startup Bloom Energy was aiming this by fuel cells. A small box could power a house for a year, as they claimed. Trouble was the box internals run at very high temperatures (800°C) and there was potential for

I met my wife over OkCupid. I have generally been successful with dating apps (about 20~25 dates over 2 years), but I agree the experience is toxic & mostly sucks

It is called being 'creepy'. Please don't do it or suggest it. The outcomes are neither favorable or painless (depending on whether it's a Taser or Mace). It is far better to send dozens of messages or interests in Tinde

Honest question: Although food choices are affecting health & lifespan of the average American, is it affecting the HIG as well?. Is the health & longevity impacted by generally available food options (not weighing in the effects of

GitHub is a company & git is a core technology which is replacing Subversion for version control. FWIW, WebKit could have moved to Gitlab, Gitea or Bitbucket & still used git. Subversion & CVS's days are numbered - the writ

Technologically, why should that be a big challenge? In the simplest model, the HTML would require a privacy tag/flag that would need to be matched against an incoming HTTPS request's attribute. If done right, it might actually be

I hope, this Bill would, in some way reduce or eliminate clickbaity & provocative images in internet ads, instead of adding one more GDPR type banner. As a adult of young parent age, I see racy ads as a prime driver of children getting

Wondering what is the purpose of the post. It is a cut-&-dry introductory post for Altair using very standard library features that most data science people (using Altair, albeit a smaller group than matplotlib) know. Maybe its just me,

Not related to ranking, but MIT 6.042 Mathematics of Computer Science is a very fun & anecdote driven course taught by Tom Leighton.

In my mental model of git internals: I envision the initial commit stores a full copy in object store - and thereafter the states are captured as diffs. If a new file is added at a later commit stage, of course the "blob" will be

Trust me. You aren't alone. And there is nothing to feel bad about it. I have it to some degree (although a bit unidimensional - I just want to finish all my purchased math & engineering books). That brought me to the conversation

A good chunk of the roughly ~2100 Kanji have two versions of expression. Some of them have upto 8-10 ways of usage (although very few). As a Japanese resident, (1) It isn't fun. Not everyone of us knows the whole set and have to keep a

Interesting anecdote. However hard to generalize that small teams avoid writing code with unit tests & safety checks. I worked in a adtech before - small team of 2 Data scientist, 1 backend guy & a manager. All our code were type ch
