I've struggled through 2 or 3 Marquez books in Spanish (I'm far from fluent), and have read all of them in English. Gregory Rabassa was an excellent translator and ,from my unexpert point of view, captured the essence of Marquez&#

I'm at this point 15 years removed, but Prof Kernighan was one of the most accessible professors and taught the most popular CS survey course (333). I have at least a half a dozen times where I was pointed his direction from another pr

What would it mean for an AI to beat the best humans in a 5K race? Obviously robots can do that, is there some definition of "humanoid AI robot" which exists for such a task?

That's a new term for me, but after researching it, it makes sense. What are your preferred sources of comprehensible input. After a few months on Duolingo I still find TV shows to mostly not be comprehensible, so not productive.

Interesting, I am a Super Duolingo subscriber but I don't think that's one of the features. Anywhere I'm inputting a sentence I think I get the keyboard option, maybe I'm misremembering, but I do a lot of typing on my Ja

Not only Amazon, but the rise of ebooks in general. While there are still a lot of holdouts, I think every voracious reader in my family has switched at least some of their reading to ebooks. The ease of acquiring ebooks from the library th

Beer info is out of date as well. Beer up to 5% can be sold at grocery stores with no day/time restrictions - which covers quite a lot of beer. High gravity beer (>5%) can be purchased at liquor stores or at the brewery (no time&#x2

Lots of great AWK tutorials in here that are more in depth, but I'll share another. I always go back to Brian Kernighan's personal help file: https://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/spring19/cos

I've always wanted to understand how a game like this actually runs, but always struggled with navigating through a project. I'm adept at reading and understanding code, but struggle to understand aa big project like this. Where d

Perhaps it was just the time in my life that I played it, but the most immersive experience I had playing a game was a text based MUD called Achaea. I've tried to recapture that experience unsuccessfully. The lack of focus on graphics

Why is that weird? Attorneys in this are working on behalf of the US Government. If they feel like settling gets the best deal for the government, then they do that.

I've eaten/drank parts of co-workers lunches unwittingly thinking they were part of the community food/beverage selection. I never got reprimanded, but I did have to sheepishly explain to a coworker that I drank his soda thin

Anecdotally it's a bit of an interesting statistic for me where after a particularly active day (or a day as a tourist) it's interesting to see how many steps were registered. I'm not doing it for fitness. It's no burden

I'm glad the website you linked credited that "myth" correctly. I was surprised when I moved to the Netherlands that no one had ever heard of this child with his finger in the dyke to save the town.

That's exactly what happens to me. When I was living in Honolulu and traveling to the East Coast a lot, I would be a night owl on the east coast and then would have the wonderful experience of being a morning person for about a 2 week

I once received advice on smalltalk that's been interestingly useful. The advice was to ask questions could be answered with a number. Like "How long have you lived in New York?" or "How many siblings do you have?"

I've occasionally gotten to a lounge access tier, but I've never used it. What's the benefit? I typically don't want to get to the airport earlier than I have to, and once you're at that level, security and boarding

I think they're suggesting that someone snooping the encrypted traffic coming from the ASA couldn't leverage this vulnerability for easier decryption. (i.e. this is an active, not passive vulnerability). That's probably clear

Surely we have the technology to record the full flight? I do understand pilot privacy, but couldn't we only listen to it in case of an incident? Anyone in the air travel industry understand why it is limited to 30 minutes?
