I managed to watch 14 minutes of the Gamer Nexus video (on my computer) before going into the living room and disconnecting the network cable, OMFG. If there's no legal consequences for LG for this I'll be surprised. I'm in E

This is an interesting problem (for mathematicians and a few more of us) and I'm sure Matt Parker will cover this in a video soon and I'll love his explanation. But for a mechanism to ship in a physical game? Big dice are difficul

> Barry Marshall's story is so iconic... More so for him and his collaborator having dinner each year when the Nobel prizes were announced in anticipation of the call from the Nobel Prize Committee. Legends.

It is a specific type of fasting. Saying only "fasting" can mean a lot of things, saying "water fast" means you only drink water. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting

As others have hinted at LLMs aren't really made in a way that makes them likely to play video games (CS/Halo and such) well. I wonder how they'd fare "against" text based adventures like Zork (which they'll no

I had some print or poster on my wall in my childhood bedroom in Stockholm. For sure no original but reproductions were, as I remember it, readily available when I grew up.

My previous work provided laptop had a touchscreen and I miss it (for the record, the screen didn't fold 180). It was useful about once a week and I completely forgot about it the rest of the time. Two primary use cases. Sitting on the

I wonder about the the service used for the test, never heard of Rapidata but if it's like Amazons mechanical turk och other such services there might be a problem where the respondents simply didn't care about reading the questio

I fully admit that I only skimmed the abstract, but was reminded of an article in Wired about Sergey Brin and his "search for a parkinsson cure". https://www.wired.com/2010/06/ff-sergeys-search/ He

There's two hard problems in programming. Naming things, cache invalidation and off by one errors.

Not sure what the selection bias for this report is, perhaps that we care about code and believe in the value of static code analysis. Some interesting results in there either way.

Interesting how counter intuitive it felt to scroll up from the "landing spot". Even with the instructions right there on the screen I tried scrolling down at first.

You might not have noticed but Microsoft has moving heavily into the open source world. Mind you, they're still a for profit company and you and I might not like everything they do to make their profit but they're a long way away

This is a level of testing that exceeds what the testers I know commit to. I myself was annoyed the five or so times yesterday we had to sit and wait to check the error handling after a 30 second timeout in the system I work on.

I think it's quirky enough to be amusing, maybe even better that it's from "another" country. Pre internet age I worked in a store where one "unlucky" guy out of reflex asked the king of Sweden for identificati

Using well thought out interfaces is a joy wherever we find them. Something in your comment made me remember a DOS based file "explorer". Screen split down the middle with a folder-tree and file list on both sides. I remember hard

I do like having access to stuff while doing similar stuff. Perhaps I'm just a little too lazy to learn that stuff while still getting paid to know other stuff. And I do have just about every tool/feature you mentioned, just not i

This is impressive, but (and probably because I'm not the intended audience for this post) I don't get it, I kind of want to get it though. With "it" I mean making Emacs do X, where X is something far from editing text f

I wonder if circular breathing would work, or works, for trombone. If so you could have held that note "forever" with some training.
