AI was defined by Marvin Minsky in 1956 as "the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men." Later in 1959, Arthur Samuel defined machine learning as a "field of study that gives compu

Perhaps to decouple DST transition rules from other time-zone changes. So if the time-zone offset is adjusted for some other reason then the DST rule does not also need to be changed.

Not the original commenter but I expected a semantic macro to be something that expands on syntax-aware macros (in languages like Scheme or Rust) into doing things based on the semantics of the code. Not sure exactly what that would entail

I read it as Virtual Memory Manager and wondered how the heck they pulled one off that works for both Windows and Linux.

Multithreading and 64-bit integers come to mind as creating difficulty, and I imagine "raw" memory buffer access having much higher latency to the point where it's completely impractical. For example, a quick search gave me t

It's difficult or impossible to compile many languages into JavaScript. WASM is more general.

I think the idea is that padding results in lower storage efficiency, which means fewer rows per page and hence lower I/O throughput. By changing the column order you can reduce the amount of padding required.

It has been used for NAT traversal when both parties are behind NAT, but sadly it doesn't work with all routers.

It certainly has direct framebuffer access. But the bitplane representation where the bits of each pixel's value are spread out across multiple bytes can make certain kinds of updates very time consuming.

I'm well aware, but that hasn't translated to similar resolutions on desktops even though laptops have had them for almost a decade.

Right, I have seen the Dell screen before. But it is currently an extremely niche product which means it is wildly outside my price range. And the VG3281 is still not available in my country even though it was released in 2023.

On a related note, I thought that by 2024 we would have displays with 250+ dpi resolution, but to my disappointment I'm still waiting for this to be a reality on anything but small laptop screens. A lot of the rendering tricks that cor

I don't think it necessarily even has to be a group based activity. Just showing up at the same time every week in a place means that you'll see the same people over and over again. Eventually after spending many hours in each oth

Not only boring, I am stressed out by it. I feel like I'm losing valuable seconds of my life watching it, and it makes me feel depressed and disconnected from society to think about how popular it is.

I agree that resizing the browser automatically isn't optimal, but I suck it up because tiling window managers don't require me to use the mouse and that's worth everything to me. If anybody made a more innovative/flexib

Of course tooling should permit 0.x.y releases but I think the author vastly overestimate their value. The point of semver is to know what has changed between releases. If your 1.0.0 API was not good, just release 2.0.0. It's not under

You can use Spy++ to look at the properties of open windows on your system. If the window class name starts with "afx:" then the application uses MFC. As far as I can recall I've never seen a Microsoft product built on either
