The most appropriate behavior is implemented by regex. Find the empty string and replace with say `($&)` where `$&` refers to the captured variable, and with input `xyz`, the result is `()x()y()z()` With

I haven't done the analysis, but one major assumption that the whole result is based on is whether the rules of the game are pre-established or just revealed after the first pick. With an adversarial game host who has the option to rev

Spherical Harmonics became extremely trendy in the graphics literature for dynamic lighting and pre-baked light maps of some sort, and completely dropped off at some point. Still remember some discussions and questions regarding how they&#x

I often don't comment code, especially in personal stuff, but when I occasionally do, which happens mostly when things get overwhelming, I find bugs or fix things that I was stuck on. Writing forces you to understand better, name bette

What I like about this approach is that if you are using any other protocols for transport, everything becomes instantly portable. Imagine having the same logic serving objects per IDs through HTTP and websockets. Rest makes things more clu

Interesting to think how many 10^6 faster gates would be needed to do the work of 10^9 at the same speed. Say take the 8086 and make it a million times faster. At about 30K transistors and 5MHz. A photonic 8086 apparently would run blinding

Computer science is much more like Mathematics than Physics. It feels wrong calling "computer science" a science, in the same sense of calling "Mathematics" science.

In addition to the other mentioned reasons, I guess it's valuable feedback for their providers, and if that feedback is acted upon, it's beneficial for them.

Bitcoin is more of ash rather than a battery in this analogy. I like bitcoin (the idea, not the burning of the planet, even though it's only a temporary hack to bootstrap the whole thing). And hey, maybe it will encourage building nucl

I knew this was happening, but reading it, hey, maybe that's one way to get anti-gravity. Just loop the topology on itself. Obviously commenting in jest, but now I'm intrigued to see if someone has seriously considered this.

C++ expression-power has increased considerably since C++11, and I believe, semantically, Prime Number generation in both C++ and Python could be python-line for c++-(line[s]) translated. C++ approaching the comfort and ease of use of Pytho

We all at least are dumber than we'd like to be. Nobody would refuse a pill that would make them smarter. Sorry for off-topic, but this has been gnawing at me lately, feels like something is a miss about my cognition, only very subtle,

Just a question, isn't all criticism against bitcoin applicable to gold? Money/Currency/Value in general can't be reduced or derived from first principles. You always have to take into account human nature, economic acti

Reading something allows one to create a proof of being after. Writing something allows one to create a proof of being before. Are there other ways of conceptualizing this problem?

This kind of reminds me of the usual interview question: can you make a fair die from an unfair one. Similarly, us as humans, could possibly have the ability to get over some/all of our distorted senses. I am not talking about every da

From a capabilities point of view, they're native. You can access the OS api just like any other native app. From a developer side, it looks like developing a webapp without the usual limitations of API access, albeit at an extra cost

Are there similar predictions but on a short time scale. Like from now until 10,000 AD? Culture, technology, and geology (and hey, everything else, biology, astronomy..) I find it hard to try and see what the future may hold, and it seems t

This is definitely interesting, but there's always Javascript in the browser. It's turing complete by design, and it can and is sandboxed to a lot of success. The fast and quick conclusion that TC in itself is dangerous is not war

A bit tangential, but this reminded of an idea I had when I was learning about containerization and overlayfs. Would postgres work with data stored in an overlay and allow a similar workflow?

Users don't know about this performance gap, but there is a gap, and that gap is an economic opportunity. Since the current practices are so inefficient, users are having to pay for this from pocket as hardware expenses. Buy a $1000 sm

I think people confuse two important things. 1- Energy consumption of the lower stack versus total of a single implementation (could possibly be very low) 2- Energy consumption of the lower stack multiplied by everywhere it is deployed 1- Y

If you spend 80 hours you're being inefficient. If you spend 20 hours (and they're being charged for value,) they feel they were deceived. Selling your hours to anyone truly seems like a lose-lose situation.

"ORM" is more like a compiler, it takes one language/(api can be seen as a language) as input and outputs another language (SQL) as output.

Can you elaborate on that just a bit, I couldn't find anything relevant by doing a quick search for a few combinations of those keywords.

Very tangential question that hit me while reading the comments: Is the current scenario possible: company A owns 10% of company B, and company B owns 10% of company A. Does that mean getting the valuation of both companies require solving

I hope Matrix 4 explores how Neo expresses disgust with humanity, as in, becoming more like Smith, and Trinity now kills him. Anything that continues the saga with a goody-two-shoes Neo at this stage is... boring. He's too powerful not

If an AI is doing it, maybe, but it also has to be unhinged from all of the people programming it or owning it. That was unthinkable until recently.
