Firefox: address bar is 2px too high? Garbage. Chrome: eavesdrops on everything? This is fine.

Sentiment analysis by small models is quite bad. I haven't tried grammar correction, but I imagine it will perform better in English than in e.g. German.

For checking? Just a lookup on disk (no db, just a large list with a custom index, then binary search in the retrieved block). Decoding anything was slow, and in-core was basically out of the question [1]. Caching was important, though, sin

And then we'll return to Java Beans and ugly, inflexible text layout, isn't it?

I know it's a joke, but it's funny because it's (somewhat) true. To add to the confusion, sometimes one of them gets abbreviated "authn". That is so unhelpful.

Especially since mice are not really perfect models for humans. For starters: these mice were "12 to 24 months of age", whereas your typical Alzheimer patient is well over 30 times that. The article also links it to amyloid plaque

My experience is that it does produce low quality code. Perhaps I tried some unusual stuff, but the other day, I had a simple problem in JavaScript: you have an image, add a gray border around it, and keep it within given width/height

When they started building cathedrals they knew they weren't going to see it finished. They did it anyway. That's the point.

There's a lot more money in basketball, though. And money is the number 1 incentive. Growth hormones might be used.

Funny, but a bit too easy, I think. At least, I got a warning when I made an error (my only one), which makes light work of progress. The fact that I had only one error is an indication of the ease (I'm not a native speaker of English)

The only thing such keyboards are good for is transposing, and this one doesn't even help for all transpositions, only half of them. So you can learn something in one key, and then pretty easily play it in one of 5 other keys (note tha

For me, "Pari Intervallo" is also a highlight. It's very simple in conception, just like his other works, and uses the tintinnabulli style in a slow canon with (as the title says) fixed intervals very effectively. It wasn&#x2

What do you expect to run on them then? I run 3 user facing services plus their test environments plus the database on the same 8GB server, and half of the memory is free. The database takes about 10GB (growing slowly). There's also a

Because the whole system is quite resilient and self-repairing, and probably requires a great deal of consistency between the various genes? Aging is quite fundamental to life, and a "bug" in that area would almost certainly cause

Apparently, the red flags also include "has ghosted me" and "is married." Now, those are valid reasons to not date someone, but it's not safety. Safety is just the excuse, just like it is in so many other cases. It&

They say no press is bad press, but for a privacy-sensitive app, no press seems preferable.

You're absolutely right. The article claims you can't define pornography by deliberately choosing a few borderline examples, and pretending that's all there is. It's simply not a good way to discuss the online safety act

You're connecting something you dislike to a linguistic phenomenon based on a shared link to a concept. You could just as well argue that we shouldn't use names, because all people need to be treated the same. Removing gender from

When you read it, keep in mind it's from 2018. Otherwise it looks as if Tang was 7 or so when he started to work on the problem. In reality, he already was 17 (*). (*) yes, I know that it still very precocious.

I had difficulty understanding what irked me about the comment, but indeed, that's it. The mix of superficiality, congeniality, and random details sound like an AI response. However, I don't think it is. But AI surely fucks up our

Ladybird is at least 5 years, but probably a decade away from being able to compete with Firefox, Chrome and Safari, if it ever gets there. You cannot just reach the same level of completeness, resilience, and performance without a lot of
