They one they named "baby cart" is something I have used to interpolate expressions into a string. Eg print "The sum is @{[1+2+3]}"; produces The sum is 6 instead of having to do: my $sum = 1+2+3

Many people in the comments are worried about laypeople using this for medical advice. I'm worried that hospital admins will see this as a way to boost profit margins. Replace all the doctors by CNAs with ChatGPT. Yes, doctors are in s

Yes, but then JIT (just in time) compilation became commonplace, so now it is often useful to distinguish between AOT and JIT.

I'm a liberal and I've lived in Texas (Austin) for 20 years. It is infuriating when I am on some liberal-oriented forum, someone says we should force Texas out of the union or whatever, and everyone cheers. ~40% of Texans didn&#x2

The article doesn't mention the energy costs directly. The fluid is good for at most 100 cycles, probably less, to release the captured CO2 requires heating the fluid to 70C, and then you still have the problem of disposing the CO2 in

Yup, and I played it back when it was new. at an arcade, not in my car. To me it is like someone saying, "Honey, I'll be on the garage watching Football in my Tesla all afternoon." Yeah, you can do it, but is a car really whe

This is a thoughtful piece, and I'm surprised that most of the comments here are focusing on the evangelicals who are thirsty for the Rapture. While misguided, those people aren't much of a problem, as they are mostly waiting for

That is a fun exercise, but I imagine the time to evaluate the conditional expression is a tiny fraction, just a percent or less, than the time it takes to make the file system calls.

I don't think it is that simple. I would wager $$$ that dead drivers tend to skew younger, mostly young men who think they are great drivers, drive way too fast, pass with little margin, etc. Young people probably skew higher for THC u

Now that I go back and read it again I agree with you. Presumably "win rate" means what percent of the time did the SAM model (Meta's new one) beat the other tool over some set of examples.

I use moises frequently for track separation for learning songs. It does pretty dang well. I was shocked that the score of moises is ranked way worse than just about everything else, including lalal.ai, which I also used before buying moise

ZX BASIC (as far as I know) was not a MS BASIC product, but many of the same techniques were used in MS BASIC. There were books describing the techniques that this blog post mentions, plus a lot more. For instance, the symbol table is built

The Z80 had LDIR which was a string copy instructions. The byte at (HL) would be read from memory, then written to (DE), HL and DE would be incremented, and BC decremented and then repeated until BC became zero. LDDR was the same but decrem

I read (30 years ago) the book "Microprocessor Design" by Nick Tredennick. He was the architect and wrote the microcode for both the 68K and the S/370. The S/370 was based on his recent design experience with the 68K, bu

Despite what the article says, the 68000 was microcoded too. Another difference is that the 68K was a 32b architecture, not 16b, and that required investing more transistors for the register file and datapath.

Again: python syntax is more akin to what you are used to, and so it feels more comfortable to you. $_ is inscrutable if you haven't studied perl, but the same thing would happen to anyone who sees a python decorator for the first time

Check out "Perl Best Practices" by Damien Conway, and the more recent "Modern Perl" by Chromatic. Both can be had as paperbacks, and I think both are also available free on online.

It isn't bad language design that you need to study the language before you can use it. I look at haskell programs and it looks mysterious to me because I haven't spent any time studying it, but I'd not thing to say it is bad

"exposing" should have been past tense. They've quickly reverted that feature once they realized how bad it made them look.
