I've already taught my eight year old that this kind of copy editing issue is a red flag when he is buying pokemon cards on amazon. For a core business service it's a showstopper. Also the website was oddly slow to show me any tex

I figure this can go along like screen for a long time. I remember in about 1999 I was really annoyed that screen wasn't getting better fast enough and no one wanted my patches. Then I got used to using screen and it was fine. Now the

Just have your mosh server attached to a screen client package (by connecting with "mosh hostname -- screen -rd") and then when you detach that screen client it will terminate the now-useless mosh server. I think that's how m

When I buy a book, I'm allowed to do a lot of things with it (read it, sell it, burn it) but I'm not allowed to do anything I please. Copyright limitations are a reasonable thing for society to extend to content producers. What pr

You're suggesting putting a Ferrari chassis around a 6hp outboard motor. A quantum computer is not a fast computer, it is a different kind of computer.

"If you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere" sounds good as a song lyric but it isn't really true for NYC and probably isn't true for Berlin. When you have a hostile environment usually you are selecting for

RapidMiner was doing something like this a few years ago. https://rapidminer.com/news-posts/rapidminerembracesitscommu... I haven't followed closely but I think they gave up on the complexity and started offering

The article gets it at the end even if the author doesn't appear to: in order to talk about mediocrity on an absolute scale you have to be thinking of achievement on an absolute scale, and that a flawed approach no matter what percenti

This article fails to admit the possibility of mistaken non-diagnosis caused by the same phenomenon. It would be interesting to see the relationship between being old for grade and late (eg adult) diagnosis of ADHD.

The output of a manager is the delta in the output of the parts of the organization they control or influence. (Citation: High Output Management) Of course that is hard to measure. It's all hard to measure.

In chemistry they say "six months in the lab can save you two hours in the library." Learning from other people's mistakes, whether they are writing them down or recounting them in person, is super valuable.
