>Even so, I fully expect that after this debacle MS will disable this stuff. Isn't the debacle over? MS know about this by now. What's stopping them from killing it today? A late resolution is barely a resolution at all. None o

It all comes back to this. I pay for the network, I'm liable for it: I decide what comes through it.

You live in a better paying country than me. You work harder than me. You've worked for longer than me. You've saved less than me. Suboptimal use of the opportunities available to you is the kinder option here.

I can't comment on nushell, but a CLI shell that uses frequent capitalisation and the 2nd furthest printable character from the home row in every 'verb' is just hilarious.

I hate how popular lowering & spacer mods are for performance cars, you're just adding bump steer.

I don't think we, as common engineers, can absolve ourselves of all blame. For a time we were in incredible demand and all we've made of it is: some people earned enough to retire early, buy nice cars, or start their own business.

It's a(n IMO weak) argument raised when discussing illegal files/numbers. This project makes clear the counter-argument: the input that gets you the file out of π is a badly compressed version of the file.

>One of the properties that π is conjectured to have is that it is normal conjectured Glad to see one of my pet points of pedantry come up. No non-constructed irrational number has never been proven to be normal or disjunctive.

It is, and it's a famous and popular blog too. Lots of older submissions have been highly upvoted here.

I think it's incredible how much those ancient brains can successfully adapt to technology. Some people can sit in highly-strung sports cars and use them at the absolute limit of their performance like they're just an extension

I partly agree, depending on what you count as the basics. I don't think there's much value in learning the quirks of LLMs today: they will just change, your value-add becomes part of the model or harness. On the other hand I thin

I love this book. Before anything else it's a pleasure to read: it's funny, touching, and the constant referring to the poem at its core forces literary engagement - even if it's only to notice where Kinbote is bending the tr

Counter-anecdote: I've played a game where the developer included a bug that gave other players arbitrary code execution on my PC and left it online while fixing the bug. I've never launched it since and had owned it less than 48

Times would have been much more 'interesting' - for better or worse - had the LLM movement occurred during the zero interest-rate era.

No. When I left a job using Mercurial, I made a vow never to start a job that used it again. And that employer was seeking to move on from it.

It originally hails from the trivium: the grammar, logic and rhetoric taught to beginner students.

Why do you want us to think you don't know what a negative externality is? Do you usually find that you benefit from people thinking you're unworldly?

I know. It's an opinion about how to develop that a lot of people hold - a declining proportion, mind you, like Mecurial's declining market share - and it's one that they're able to represent in Git's model, with Gi
