Jolla, as opposed to Sailfish itself, was all about the physical phone, running Sailfish OS. At some point they became a 'consultancy' company, effectively using Sailfish OS on devices or whatnot, but without bespoke hardware. The

Since the article is making a not-so-subtle jab at python being unable to do chain operations, I'm making my annual rounds to point out that implementing simple, straightforward chain functionality in python is as simple as a two-line

I used to own a Jolla phone, and there was something magical about it. At the time, their ideas and execution were a breath of fresh air, and the experience was amazing even despite some unavoidable teething problems. I happily used it as m

... clearly I didn't realise I was replying to the author of the article, in which case I can see why your reply was a bit defensive. i didn't mean to disparage your article or imply you were trying to mislead, and I apologise for

They can be the same or different, given how you define them. People throw these words around with little thought, especially ones superficial to or outside the field. I wouldn't disparage an entire field for lack of a clear definition

Thanks! I won't start the same thread here (though thank you for pointing that one out), but when I've come across scenarios similar to those in that thread in my own projects (which, admittedly, while not trivial, were probably n

I disagree. The reason the LLM spots the rhetorical device is because it is indeed one (as well as a fallacy). You're implying that the LLM can be goaded into admitting anything you want it to "admit", but this simply isn&#x2

I don't know iOS enough, but, is there no other way to provide this other than the app store? (e.g. like you can enable "untrusted" apk installs in Android?) i.e., while there's surely fat less visibility outside of the

Ah you're right, thanks. Admittedly I only skimmed and relied on assumptions of the usual discussion around complaints on the python packaging ecosystem xD Though in principle, my preferred approach here would be similar. Manually inst

Am I the only person here who thinks the easiest thing to do is to download the python version you need, compile, install in your preferred prefix like any other program and then run it?

There was no need to invent a new law named "strong version", it already exists: Campbell's law. The subtle difference between the two being exactly what the author describes: Goodhart's law states that metrics eventuall

I was recently made aware of this organisation and replication games and given the other article today about scientific rigor, I thought I'd share.

It's a shame that it's such a taboo analogy to use in professional situations, because I've found explaining things to friends via "the Pornhub analogy" to be the final thing that makes them 'click' when e

I had to look up the reference, and based on the wikipedia plot summary at least, I admit I don't quite get the relevance. I expected a plot where someone handles criticism quite badly and suffers as a result, but in fact the plot was

Congratulations! I bought a copy. If I like it I might recommend it as further reading for the university java course I teach. :) PS. All the best with the yacht! xD

There is a language called brainfudge which is effectively an alias of brainfuck for this exact reason you'll find lots of "brainfudge" interpreters on github

Why is this a horror story? Under certain assumptions of how the author intends to use this, this sounds like a sensible way to define a dynamic list of phony targets to me, without having to specify them by hand. There are many reasonable
