Most people who drive a car have no idea how an engine works. I know and agree it's a scary future, but I wonder if it's really _essential_ to understand things on a deeper level. Most people are quite capable of understanding hig

This looks logically sound to me, thanks!

I’m sorry but no. Maybe it’s my ignorance of TM’s, but O(log n) doesn’t read all input by definition. It doesn’t follow that it is therefore _independent_ of the input size. What makes a/your TM special that this is the case? I don’t m

What is the relationship between n and N? log(n) is still unbounded so I can’t make sense of your comment.

Obviously by how well they teach, but if we give them a stake in their teaching performance, their teaching should improve even more…

If it’s a federal or state tax break it shouldn’t affect cities’ revenue too much?

This immediately reads like gobbledygook to me, while the parent is easy to follow. I’m not trying to dunk on you, but I can’t help to note that the denseness of math is too much for an idiot like me.

This would only give employees a giant incentive to tank the company this way…

There is nothing wrong with apt and dpkg. It’s just that Ubuntu infected apt with their poison by making ‘apt install firefox’ install a snap package and they’re poised to do it with more packages (maybe they already have). I personally ca

Debian testing doesn’t get security updates. I’d rather run Debian sid (unstable). But tbh I don’t run Debian myself. https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting It is a good idea to install security updates from unstable since

CFDs are zero-sum. They don’t create or remove wealth in aggregate.

so is it: -Dlog4j.formatMsgNoLookups=true or -Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true ? Every project seems to list one or the other, even this cheat-sheet seems to list both in a random way...

It's a matter of risk that I'm paying for to avoid, not absolute quality. I would not wager my life on a random doctor in Africa even while 90% of doctors there might be more skilled than in London. I'm paying to eliminate th

This is what api's are for. A telemetry service asks each service for the specific data, combines them and outputs the combined metrics. This doesn't really break a barrier, but it does increase overhead.

I really wish micro was the default editor on Linux, nano's hotkeys are completely bonkers.

Even though I didn't expect much I'm still disappointed after using it a little. It's very rough around the edges. When I run 'winget list' It says I have Firefox 88.0 installed and there's an update for 88.0.1

Ellen Pao was the beginning of the large scale decline of reddit. She might've done a decent job according to the owners, but I can't imagine much users agreeing with that assessment.

Well I'll admit there is still a balance to it. I'll just say that the emphasis should be on clean branches and PR's much more than clean individual commits. And on good code much more than clean git branches. If there&#x

I'm a bit annoyed by the terminology here. CICO is as true as ever from a physics/physiology standpoint and I think it's good to acknowledge that. _However_ some calories keep you hungry so it's probably _much_ easier to

Yea... no. An overly clean git history for me is a sign of too much perfectionism and greatly reduced productivity. When I code I usually have a general idea of the stuff I want to include in my branch, but then I stumble upon bugs or code

Any disambiguation is still not covered by your stated definition, that definition is simply wrong.

I generally agree with this, but making sure your error messages are correct is even more important than terseness. The last example of the article is a perfect illustration of this: $ cat invalid cat: invalid: invalid path An in
