If the primary goals behind the fork were achieved, to say that it failed and died (when it was actually reintegrated) is far from an accurate claim.

There is a vast chasm between enterprise and toy. A thing does not need to be enterprise level to be useful or even very useful.

They may have been encouraged by the reactions to their previous paper, but I doubt it was anything close to a primary motivating factor - they're mathematicians, you can pretty much guarantee that they found the compromise at least as

I know a dude who's a very competent ambo, he saw a man collapse and immediately rebooted his heart with a single perfect strike to the chest. Beyond the prior state of the patient, technique can actually matter as well - but the fact

Survival rates aside, CPR on the elderly can be particularly brutal. CPR is basically beating the crap out of someone in order to drag them back from death. You're talking about inflicting serious damage on people who take damage more

Discrimination on the grounds of age might be, discrimination on the grounds of competence is not.

If the reasoning behind him being selected for the keynote was his race, then it is a poor reason for choosing him - but that's a justification for rethinking the process for the selection of future speakers, not for changing the speak

I think that the bigger issue is that we're masking societal dependence on stimulants by pretending that they're medicine (yes, sometimes they are) and not just uppers. There's never a chance to resolve any issue with having

It's the wrong question? This really simplifies down to the issues of how to deal with optional return types in general. And the answer as far as I can tell is either use a language with adequate support for safe optionals or accept th

Voting systems can be improved, but somewhat problematically the people in a position to improve things are those who depend on the broken system.

I'm as likely to complain about agism in sport as to change my position on this. The simple truth is that sometimes reality is shit, and none of us is immune to decay. We can't yet change the nature of aging, but there is value in

Cognitive decline is a real thing. Experience counts for a lot, but it doesn't help with creativity. One of the things in technology is that novel problems often require novel solutions - and most of us aren't Knuth. Beyond a poin

Has there been any effort to formalise the subset of NP that lends itself to SAT resolution (is there something between x^n and n^x)? For example, what are the defining characteristics of a graphs for which the travelling salesman problem i

It requires large amounts of formalised and human defined domain specific knowledge, for every domain that you work with. The overheads are huge, and it's very bad at dealing with fuzzy situations.

That wouldn't be bad, but I think you could do something more off-putting with something like deliberately slightly bad kerning. I'm not sure of the extent to which you could use ligatures to tweak the serifs, rather than remove

The biggest problem with this is that it's too obvious, if you really want to fuck with people it should require more effort for them to tell what's wrong. An insidious little niggle that grates upon the mind.
