The smaller the company the greater the chance of that IMO. I had to do it within my company and it was all a matter of luck, timing the right manager etc. Today it wouldn't happen again. I think it's also not easy to do in a st

I have had a rotten time so far trying to get anything to happen with my Tradfri lights - I started off assuming that all of this could be done from the commandline - no not without difficulty. How do you pair your computer's zigbee wi

There's obviously inefficiency in the system - a big cost every time a decision involves lawyers and even more if there are juries. So we should understand that we don't have a way to be perfect and think about where to balance th

I remember my cousin telling me how horrible it was to work at a hotel - you really found out how horrible people could be when they thought they were owed something. Staff there obviously had to put up with it because that was their job. R

Scott Manly did a great explanation. The lander lost a rocket nozzle when it was in the final part of its descent - hovering and taking pictures of the landing site. Nozzles make the rocket's thrust much more effective so basically it

I'm not thinking of commercial anything - just changes financed by companies that want them. Example: PyPy getting almost no funding but Microsoft getting it's JIT into cpython. Big money will be deciding what happens. We're

I'm more worried about commercial entities gaining power - by simply employing enough people to work on something that the alternatives cannot compete. People who want "one" anything - I can sympathise with the desire for sim

I wondered about supplying troops across the Dnieper river in Kherson. The vehicle wouldn't have to stop at any point and wouldn't need a bridge or a road. They would probably be rather more expensive and yet another thing to main

I think not at the moment because I don't think they effectively have a "state" emotional or otherwise. When we do create more realistic things then turning one off or resetting it might be like killing it. That will be a big

Oddly though, there are recently a lot of people making jetpacks and hover boards and so on - as the technology to do so suddenly got good enough.

In a sense what is an LLM but an upload. Something that listened to every word you ever said might be able to sound like you. If it could record your emotional state and other inputs over years and make a model - it might even seem like you

Physics might seem easy to you now but flying was an impossible dream for most of history. The other problems may become more amenable - one just can't know what will happen. Amazing things like CRISPR - an incredible tool that lets us

I wish the money could be spent on PyPy but pypy has its problems - you don't get a big boost on small programs that run often because the warmup time isn't that fabulous. For larger programs like you sometimes it some incredibly

Linux isn't what it was - it's contributed to via a lot of companies with commercial interests. The open source developers who started doing it all for love are often doing it for money now. Certain features are desired, there&#

Poorer countries (I am from one) will want higher living standards and there are a lot of people in that condition. I think they will condone sea mining to reach them.

That could require people to die. Also you cannot make people who are poor not want to better their lives even if it costs in the long term. How would you force them? They are going to try one way or another and all we can do is find a bet

The argument I've seen is that the amount of seabed that has the required minerals is not big and the surface of the earth is predominantly covered by water so as a percentage of what's there the mined area is small. I would like

Oh, I think that's OFTEN true. When your build gets big though - when you're building multiple packages for example of which most are not yours - the benefits can start to become more worthwhile. I currently work with people who t

cmake generates makefiles (or ninja) so it doesn't replace them. It replaces autotools - it works out what features a system has and what build flags to enable and from a generic description of your program it generates makefiles or ni

Make exists and is used widely and not because everyone's too inept to understand your points. The "assumption-making" build tools are the unicorns that inevitably cannot dominate because they're not generally applicable
