Not sure why a patent is a better guard against a lawsuit than clear prior art. If everyone knows you'll win if sued it doesn't matter if the reason you would win is because you hold the patent or if you demonstrated prior art. I

They are useful for when you want the semantics of UTC but still a human readable time. One example is logs that people will actually read. People have a hard time doing mental math but 14:00-05:00 is just as valid as 19:00+00:00 and easier

FWIW Python does ship with the turtle module as part of the standard library: https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html?highlight=turt... Though I don't know if that counts as a Logo implementation.

In addition to the sibling comments, it's worth noting that this would neither be instantaneous nor does quantum computing work by "trying all the solutions at once." Some examples of refutations of this myth: https:/&#

I think it's a mistake to think of whiteboard problems as attempting to recreate a real work environment. They are a proxy for the kind of quality you are looking for that can be "measured" within the alotted time. They can s

I feel like the more obvious explanation is that older developers already know the languages young developers want to learn. JavaScript, C++, Java and Python are widely used and knowing them has a much higher return than Go or Kotlin as fir

My first thought was, "What's a nable?" Then I figured it must be "then-able", but even after that I still accidentally read it as "th enable" as well. Weird, weird name.

A git repository or a torrent or any other distributed datastore would also accomplish this. A blockchain is a very bad, expensive distributed datastore that you would only use if you need the specific trust properties it provides. It would

Why would you need a blockchain for this? Any sort of signed reproducible build would work just fine.

I like this general approach, but presumably you don't want the point where 50% of the sequences have never been transmitted (on average, assuming randomly distributed data), you want the first point where at least 1 hasn't been t

I think he means the project is a lightweight fork of Riot.im, which is using the Matrix protocol.

Why are they in a unique position with respect to reach? I would think that it would be hard to scale across so many jurisdictions when you need to hire licensed contractors to do repairs and have lawyers allowed to practice real estate law

I imagine this depends on how you define "relevant". I think a lot of companies still use AIX, and Python compiles just fine on it, but I don't think there's a compiler that supports C++17 on it.

I'm not sure I buy this. Given that the prior plausibly is low and earlier studies have not found any increased risk of cancer, and it sounds like they were looking for increases in any kind of cancer, this seems like a result that w

Shouldn't this argue for everyone having long tenures, since it's unlikely you'll actively fire competent employees just because they started at their job too long and got too well trusted. Having a few long term employees an

Social pressure is fine, the problem is that right now people leverage the law to force their culture of helicopter parenting on people not complying. Frankly, I think it should go even further, it should be a civil offense to frivolously r

I would also say that any competent reporting on a topic like this would include whether the trial and data analysis methods were pre-registered and if there were other pre-registered trials on this or similar topics and what their results

Yes, but I've basically only seen this with pennies and quarters, because they are physically very similar to their US equivalents. I don't think anyone would accept a Canadian $20 in exchange for US$20. (I also doubt that they&#x

Ah, this makes a lot of sense. I tooled around a bit plotting some distributions with matplotlib after I posted my comment and indeed found that drawing random angles was clustered around the poles. From your explanation, now it seems almos

by x1798DE 9y ago
In the example about picking a random 3-d vector, it seems like the "draw components from a Gaussian distribution" method is the most common, but I don't really understand why you can't just pick two angles ([0, pi) and

I more or less agree with this point, but one possibility is that the companies that currently exist are the ones that can survive long term while turning a profit every quarter (or another "number maximizing" strategy), while w

It's one comment thread where people are mostly trying to get to the bottom of why it's happening so future readers can read the article and discuss its contents.

Don't people generally just use some sort of package manager to distribute scripts and their dependencies ? I don't use Mac so maybe they're way behind the curve in this.

It's not a huge difference, but there is a softened between phishing and spear-phishing. It's a lot easier for a specifically crafted spear-phishing campaign to get through whatever mental heuristics you use to identify scams th

I don't think anyone would argue for word-level translations without any grammar - that wouldn't even be possible, since there isn't a 1-1 mapping between words in different languages. But for a translation, I think most peop

They are phonetic characters, so they don't mean anything. シ (shi), ツ (tsu), ノ (no), ソ (so) and ン (n), all in katakana (used to write loan words and slang).

Almost the entire payment infrastructure of the internet relies on one of the libraries / standards mentioned in the post above, so it would be a stretch to say they don't involve money.
