   I think of my memory as semantic rather than visual or auditory. I’m not sure how to explain it. No, I usually can’t play music in my head. I can imagine myself signing it though. I don’t have bad memory, it’s specifically the task of repro

   Interestingly, I can’t recall ever having an ear worm. I’d guess it’s related to my struggles with learning texts verbatim: I have very hard time learning to recite poetry, songs, etc.

   You two are talking about different kinds of overhead though.

   Wouldn’t that produce 2^n possible results to choose from, where n is the number of chunks? That seems like a lot of additional (he-he) instructions executed.

   Setting both to 2^63 means your original 256-bit numbers were 2^255, thus the addition would overflow no matter what intermediate encoding you’re using.

   While I agree this is phrased in somewhat misleading way, I think by " fellow researchers" they ment "researchers like you, user, who believe and participate in liberation of science", not "the researchers, who aut

    That would be actually illegal [1] while investing in her memecoin is only grey area. [1]: Since, afaik, she lives in Russia and sending money in an envelope is made illegal by ФЗ № 176-ФЗ art. 22 p. "г".

    How much can you actually do in 1 hour that’s 45 minutes long? All my classes were 1.5 hours long. Yet professors still regularly chose to introduce new material on days with back-to-back classes, leaving standalone classes for practice or

    I don’t mind those, tbh (maybe because I came to Python from C and Lisp). Contrary, I dislike NumPy’s decision to make reduce/accumulate methods of operations (e.g. np.add.reduce and np.mul.accumulate), not higher order functions or

    I wish [1] our (western) culture was not built on a bicameral [2] alphabet, but c'est la vie: uppercase and lowercase are distinct through out our lives, and thus computers must not break the norm. “MW” != “mW” and “Taylor” != “taylor”

    Could you throw on a couple of examples of calcified early mistakes of Python? GIL is/was one, I presume?

    I feel like at this point they could’ve waited more years just for bragging rights. (I don’t mean to say 18 years is not brag worthy, but 20 rolls off the tongue better.)

    Surely any city is small enough that projection distortion is negligible? So you can just open cities on two maps side by side and zoom in/out till the scales are equal.

    Tbh, this is the first time I see nongnu.org used for something other than Emacs packages (I know that’s on me), so much so that I even thought this was a solution to substitute Emacs Lisp with Common Lisp. :O

    > can these IDEs just shut up and let me see my code? May I interest you in some Emacs? It’s arguably much more of an IDE than Vim, but it still “just opens”. And you can bring your muscle memory with you thanks to the Evil mode.

    I wonder why they decided to run the ARM version of Windows though. If one emulates, does it really matter what platform to emulate? Isn’t Windows for x86 still quite a bit more useful (e.g. doesn’t have to run a second layer of emulation t
