Organization: I got a storage organizer with 24 drawers. One for each type of cable I use. So instead of one big box that I have to hunt through, I have instant, labeled access to all my usb cables, and a few other cables and items.

You are assuming that they haven't. Brambles can trap sheep, benefiting from the sheep as fertilizer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrGobnZq83g Falling coconuts can not only kill people, but probably kill far more sm

The pi has a sub $100 accelerator card that takes it to 30 TFLOPs. So you can add three more orders of magnitude of performance for a rough doubling of the price.

I think it's the writing. I learned long ago that I could read a book, study it, think about it. And I still would really master the material until I built with it.

For me, it's a bit like pair programming. I have someone to discuss ideas with. Someone to review my code and suggest alternative approaches. Some one that uses different feature than I do, so I learn from them.

I think he's saying you can click and edit on the diagram, which mermaid doesn't support. This does propagate back into the source. I think you are talking about "just change the text and regenerate", which achieves much

Off-the-cuff thought: Could you solve the empty string hashes to zero problem by just adding one when computing hash codes?

You have to make the choice about sharing at the start. If you use AGPL and later decide to make changes, you'll have to share. So most don't want to risk it. But more important, AGPL software is banned at many large corporations.

Doesn't AGPL give you LESS rights? (fewer?) AGPL is pretty much a non-starter for any commercial development. The RSALv2 let you use Redis, unless you were a service provider. Now, you can't use it for anything (EVERYTHING is acc

Automated dependency resolution has made it so the default is frequently > Someone imports a single method from the RIGHT package and hundreds of megabytes come in for what might be one simple function.

No one seems to be talking about the fact that we need to change the definition of cheating. People's careers are going to be filled with AI. College needs to prepare them for that reality, not to get jobs that are now extinct. If they

This basically turns research papers as a whole into a big generative adversarial network.

I suggest backing it up in multiple places. Electronic forms are so much less durable than physical.

There are tons of products that do this. Are you familiar with the market you are trying to enter? Look at what they are doing.

And half the problem is not that there is one bit of software doing tracking, it's that there are fourteen different package that different people added at some point, all doing similar things.

This is pretty interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_biosphere "he biomass in the deep subsurface is about 15% of the total for the biosphere" I'd bet that it's a higher percentage. That 1

I feel this article makes the same mistake many technical articles make. What does it do? After reading a large chunk of the article, I have no idea. No, wait it "enables behavior". Maybe it's only relevant to people that a

But it's changing over time, and students always lied. But it's possible that this generation is wiser/ more cynical and doesn't believe in anonymous surveys. I know I don't.

Incorrect title. "Illegal drug use among teens drops" is what the study is talking about. Psychoactive prescriptions are up probably orders of magnitude in the last fifty years. People have been talking about "self medicating

Wow. If true, that would be fascinating. We know that non-brain microbiomes can influence behavior. What might something in brain tissue itself do?

What I remember from college is that the instructors who wrote their own books had terrible books. They used their own books because it was theirs, not because it was good. Most people do not write well, but the people who can become a stan
