When I copy/paste some text I wrote online, even short, it's full of alerts. Maybe I write exactly like a LLM in English? It's not my native tongue, maybe that's why. Otherwise, almost nothing. I don't know if it&#x

Ha, I misunderstood your comment: in my own language these two words without more context have a very different connotation. Also, I don't think I was aggressive?

As you've probably guessed, I don't live in the US, so the price are drastically different. I live in the EU. And for my case, I love in really small flat for some years, so the rent couldn't go up a lot. > most people in

I don't have any hard evidence, no. Instinctively, if we suppose all the newbies freelancers without any reputation start with the same lowest rate possible to be competitive, passing additional cost to my client will mechanically incr

I've seen those comments about $200/month and empty rooms here, so I suppose they mainly come from the US, yes. So yes, you describe a situation that I feel like a lot of people here don't understand is not the norm. I compar

Okay, I understand better. I interpreted your answer as "well, it's $200, everybody can afford it". Clearly a misunderstanding. Going back to the $20 plan, yes, I agree it's much more accessible. I didn't talk about

First, I've assumed you were in the bubble I described, but that's not the case, so sorry bout that. Also, I think it's relevant to the conversation. You replied to someone who said that "you" (undirected pronoun I

I'm not sure I've correctly understood what you're implying. If it's that I'm not working, well, I'm employed. It it's that I'm not working enough to not have this money... Well, we still go back to

To complete the TL;DR : the safe Rust code is at 97% the speed of the C code, if keeping manual vectorization.

Ha, interesting! I don't have the control you have on my inner hearing. For a song I love, I can like sing along with my mouth shut, not only the voices, but also the instruments. Strangely, it's hard to have the complete song at

Wow, these questions are really interesting, I've never thought about it! For my favorite songs, I can recall it perfectly... But I don't hear it at all as if I was hearing it in real life. In fact, I don't know how to descri

I don't have an inner voice, it's just completely abstract thoughts. I "feel" the interrogation about a subject, just without words.

I love L-Systems! Really simple concept and implementation, but a huge variety of results and extensions. In parallel of my studies, I created some years ago on the side an interactive app for generating and coloring L-Systems : https:&#x2

I love easy effects! I have a crappy webcam/mic combo, and the noise reduction filter is very performant, the people I'm speaking to are really grateful about it

I'm always happy to see L-Systems! I find them really awesome, the base principle is very simple: string rewriting. But the results can really be impressive for such a simple concept. I can't help but do a shameless self-plug: I&#

There is a lot of evidence indicating that the megafauna extinction was principally due to the human hunters. Here is a very good (but long) Twitter thread by a biologist explaining it in detail: https://twitter.com/DRMegafa

I can't help but to do a shameless plug: the author also have an article about L-Systems [0] which inspired me to create my own interactive generator [1]. There isn't a release yet, but it is mainly functional and I already have s

Yeah, that's the first solution that popped in my mind too. I think it needs just a special case at the beginning to check if the first paren is not a closing one. EDIT: yep, after reading the comments below I see that I really should
