Yea, I'd imagine comparing a 9 year old version of a language to another would be "mind melting". And you are comparing to Java 8, from before Java re-organized their JEP process to ship features far faster, with a different

That's weird, as my understanding of the YT creator community is constant strife, ever changing rules, arbitrary bans, strikes on their account for vaguely matching copyrighted work, and most recently swearing too much, or too early,

Faces are definitely harder. The story has to get stretched a lot to imagine a total dystopia, but its possible. People like digital mirrors for all their benefits: lighter, more features, music and weather all on one "mirror". Yo

True, its just a fun story. This reddit post makes it clear, though, that while people will review the images carefully, they may still not be able to accurately determine differences. Just take the story above with one more minor step: You

Imagine this future: Sensor quality in phones goes down, AI makes up for it because good sensors are expensive, but compute time in the cloud on Samsung owned servers is cheap. You take a picture on a crappy camera, and Samsung uses AI to &

I can't remember ever seeing those notifications? I must have turned them off years ago.

Super 8 was co-produced by Steven Spielberg, which is probably why the mystery part of Super 8 is cohesive and interesting.

The website's design is great and simple with no explanation needed of how to use it. Would be snappier if it matched on words automatically so I wouldn't need to press enter. I noticed with my own writing the use of lazy structur

I worked on a CPU in Minecraft years ago and designed it to be a 7-bit CPU. I chose that number because it gave me the an appreciable number of operations plus space for arguments. I had only 6 bytes of RAM and about 32bytes of ROM. The ROM

I sat alongside customer service agents working phones, email, and chat. They use copy-pasted stuff for everything. I will watch them search word for a template way slower than I could type, but that's their process. Re-used phrases is

Honestly I dislike TC because he rambles and is too verbose. I don't know why he has recommended so much here.

Yea, because the US population is aging rapidly past 60, when most cancers start to form. Your premise could easily be explained by "the percentage of the American population over 60 has increased steadily." See: https:/&#x2

That link just shows all cancer. If you start here: https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/lung/statistics/index.htm Then click the graph on the right, you can see the trend line for LUNG cancer specifically. Spoilers: t

Could you give examples of any kind? At the end you say "for whatever that is worth", but its worthiness is low given there are no specifics and I don't know you.

"The goal of a lot of the people here seems to be hysteria. " Hadn't you just accused others of mischaracterizing your views? Why are you doing the same to everyone arguing back? I don't see anyone in this comment chain

Ironically, ETH switching to PoS is the reason I am holding the currency. In the future I expect all PoW cryptocurrencies to be banned, or severely hobbled, because of their electricity usage and e-waste. I have a long bet on ETH specifical

How should a doctor know how to treat you if you don't tell them what caused the problems? Doctors don't just hear you list a bunch of things you are "feeling" as symptoms and then output a pill to take. They need to loo

Isn't it plausible your medical friends mentioned it a lot because...others around them also mentioned it a lot? Doctors and nurses are just as capable as spreading rumors as anyone else.

Your post is good overall but I am not so sure about this part: "as they require two doses per person and are more demanding in the refrigeration requirements." Moderna doesn't require overly deep refrigeration, that is Pfize

This is overly dismissive. A security camera must be agreed on, it's quality chosen, it's recording backed up, maybe someone watches it live and needs to be paid, they need somewhere to sit and monitors. All of these things are de

Why would private companies do this? Who is paying them and how would the cost structure work? Debris in orbit is not like trash on a field. It is moving at several km/s and is thousands of miles away. Good luck finding, intercepting,

It is interesting to read the rules you came up with to limit memory usage, and then to think of the criticisms one gets in Java for limiting memory usage. In Java we try to limit new as much as possible to prevent the GC from pausing too m

As an analogy, I think everyone here would be quite upset if someone made the claim, "why shouldn't we trust Musk, Gates, Jobs, etc at their word when they say what caused them success? Obviously it is true because they are succes
