While I whole heatedly agree with you, I would seriously question anyone trying to reuse research code in production without completely reimplementing it from scratch.

As a start to using shell I recommend learning (roughly in order): man grep sed find piping and redirect xargs looping Knowing the basics of those unlocks a lot of the power of the shell. You can you them to brute force your way through mo

Depending on the data, the right options for xargs would work, and there's the pr command I haven't used much.

A fun trick is using the `paste` command with process substitution to combine lines of output from different commands. ./cmd1 outputs: a b c ./cmd2 outputs: 1 2 3 paste <(./cmd1) <(./c

In what way are taxes 100% optional? In the sense that using AT&T is optional because I can move of I don't like it? I don't follow your restaurant analogy. Someone can recognize that tipping is harmful to the wait staff, but

You seem to be saying that anything short of living your philosophical ideals is hypocrisy. There are a lot of government policies I think should be criminal, but nobody suggests that my only options are accept the policy or completely deno

Sounds like another celebrity pump scam. Eminem buys the NFT for $450k, Bored Ape signs a contract for $450k for marketing "services" from Eminem, and they'd have a special publicity agreement with the NFT platform to recoup

Software engineering is about modeling the world. Sometimes you need more world experience than modeling techniques. It's important from time to time to take a break and learn something new, otherwise all you'll know is how to mo

The next version of copilot will literally be a bot that searches Google and reads through stack overflow posts. There are a lot of jokes you can make, but that is honestly what I do half the day and I've met some people who could bare

The analogy is not accurate because old mechanical keyboards are awesome.

I think for most people, especially as they age, change is not comforting. While things may be getting better, that brings about change to many who don't want to deal with it.

If the government can't distinguish between sensitive and nonsensitive data then that sounds like something that should be fixed instead of being used as an excuse.

I had to do the same with uber eats until I stopped using it. They do everything they can to make sure there's no recorded timestamp of when you place an order so it's that much harder to dispute a bad delivery.

According to this chart, the first anatomically modern human, homo sapian sapian, dates back to 46,000 years ago https://www.southampton.ac.uk/~cpd/history.html

They have been collecting as much data on people as they can. They've got the tech to listen to you, why wouldn't they use it?

Where are the developers implementing this stuff on large social media, especially Reddit who had such a user friendly founding? Surely they're here on HN. I'd love to hear their thinking in going along with this, assuming it&#x2

I like the idea, and the industry continues to screw over developers, but there would be practical problems to a royalty plan. Companies don't pay once for software, they hire a software team to maintain the code. How would the royalti

To me the issue isn't generally having a dog off the leash, but specifically having a dog off the leash at a wildlife reserve where they may be running around disturbing the wildlife. It isn't a dog park.

Your shell file with a switch isn't going to do incremental parallel builds. If you understand make, your makefile will behave as you expect it to. If you try to read a makefile as a shell script you'll constantly be surprised.

Google/Yandex aside, I don't want intelligence agencies around the world tracking which applications I run locally and when I run them.

This scam presented a fake NSL to the registrar so even a premium registrar wouldn't help. Multiple domains through multiple registrars seems like the only work around. You could establish 3 domains for a user to recognize: application

That was fast. I was trying to hold out hope that muse would be ok and the aquisition wouldn't change anything, but they wouldn't even let me have that.

My favorite application is Marcus Hutter's AIXI[1], a provably optimal theoretic intelligent agent for any environment, though uncomputable. And then Shane Legg's use of a Monte Carlo AIXI approximation to define a universal measu
