People seem to be comparing it to Simulink, but to me the language seems to have more in common with matlab / octave's symbolic package / python's sympy. Any idea if that's the case?

That's a fair point. And in a sense, the analogous law there is the right to medically-assisted sterilisation, which also exists (albeit, carrying a somewhat lesser impact in terms of finality). I don't necessarily think a discuss

If anyone's interested, here's my comparison of productivity with the Ideal Gas law I've written about here before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30000296 It gives a contrary perspective to this Parkin

I think this article misses the mark about deadlines. The main problem with deadlines isn't that they're "poorly applied". It's that typically they reflect other people's priorities, which don't align with

I get the point you're trying to make, but in the fictitious scenario you're making, if everything, I mean absolutely everything, is done in 4 days and you're just spending the 5th doing nothing, this isn't Parkinson&#x2

People have made arguments against abuse in vulnerable populations, which I think is an important argument. But one thing that I really haven't seen explored, and specifically where this applies to suicidal ideation, is the extent to w

Depends what you mean by 'code', of course. There's some pretty high-level libraries doing heavy-lifting in those 10 thousands of lines. And if also count the training data and the billions of encoded parameters as "code

I have some feedback if anyone from PeerTube is reading. The https://joinpeertube.org/instances page should have some more useful sorting for the instances it shows. (not to mention the ability to sort by something useful)

by tpoacher 2y ago
The top of the page has "What is Peertube • Browse Content • Upload video" I mean, it could be a bit more visible, I guess, but it's not exactly invisible. I get the point that maybe have browse content as the main page ... b

I know this isn't really a useful comment, but, I'm still sour about the name they chose. They MUST have known about the Gemini protocol. I'm tempted to think it was intentional, even. It's like Microsoft creating an AI

Well I didn't necessarily mean that Bash is perfect and could never be improved; or that Oils may not have good ideas that are an 'improvement' over some things in bash. I meant that, if I come up with a project called "

I'm writing a ticketing manager for the terminal entirely in bash. Reasonably non-trivial project, and it's been pretty enjoyable working "exclusively" with bash. ("exclusively" here used in quotes, because the

If you like NEATs you might also want to have a look at PDGP by R. Poli. This is a more traditional / general GP in the sense that it expresses computer programs rather than NNs specifically, but is graph based rather than tree based,

Note to the author: the website is broken and seems to rely on some "works best on chrome" shenanigans to work. On my phone, youtube thumbnail gets pressed but nothing happens (duckduckgo browser).

LO is contantly updated and improved. The 2 decades observation isn't really useful. Would you compare today's MSO experience to MSO2000 on Windows Millenium? I use LO exclusively and it's a joy to use. On the rare instances

I agree with your general point about the effects of such rudeness, but I also think the solution is to actually "just" write to these people (in broad cc) and say "Please consider that, although [you] devs were right, [you]

This is not a new thing. Patrick Lencioni made a very good job in his "Five Dysfunctions of a Team" (2002), where he explained clearly why the "star developer" sometimes needs to be fired to boost net team productivity a

I wouldn't say this is the case, though it probably looks like this at a superficial level, and is a trendy soundbyte that seems to have gotten a life of its own lately. Plus a lot of what you call 'industry' is in fact drive

Question: why does the evaluation inside a[] (which does not produce a value) not result in a bad array subscript error in this case? if you try to evaluate this kind of things as an arithmetic expression directly, it will fail with an erro

From what I understand, based on the premise that this results from switching into 'arithmetic' mode, you don't even need test. The following will also work with the proposed attack: function guess () { declare -i num=&qu

or if test $num -eq 42, which is the most sensible way to do it in my view, since it really makes the point clear that what you're really evaluating is the exit status of the evaluated command (and where '[' is simply an alia

Neat ... but I'd probably just do this by opening a "grep -l" list in nano for interactive replacement directly instead. Easy peasy.
