This beaurcratic development feels like turning a super-tanker that's connected to a hundred other super-tankers. While I accept the priority of back-compatibility, I personally lack the working memory to manage it, while creative prob

The non-nullability issue seems to be about performance, not cognitive load (search the article for "writes atomically"), though not articulated.

Bloom's 2 sigma problem solved at last! But that's overestimating LLMs, our zeitgeist. AI can't detect AI, not because AI undetectable, but because it lacks judgment. Its shtick is random generation; the proverbial monkey on

What does clocks mean here? A new usage? “Emacsification” clocks that everything now works this way, not just baroque text editors.

IANAG but the idea is that women get two copies of the X chromosome (XX), and men only one (XY). This explains why women have squared the colour blindness rates of men - women have to get two bad copies, men only one. Many intelligence rel

Law exams are open book; Engineering exams are not. I'm not sure exactly what the distinction is - apart from law being "soft" and requiring argument - but it's deeper than inability to reuse past papers.

He's making a more general statement, with "root of all evil", that improving some aspect of something without understanding its effects on the whole outcome, is literally the root cause of evil in the world, in general. Winn

It's more a research question. I think it'll be more like ordered keys in JSON - not ordered, according to the spec, but very useful in practice, because easier to compare, locate keys by eye etc. This order might not merely be &

A problem with semantic markup is when it doesn't do what you want, and you need to wig-wam it. Does this mean you actually wanted presentation markup? Or, since you are trying to convey meaning, does it mean that the semantics aren&#

It does seem wrong that nature would use irrational numbers - the fault is more likely in our concepts. Our mathematics may be more parochial than we realize - than we can realize. Alien mathematics may have taken a different route. pi i

jq uses bison (gnu's yacc), which is a nightmare for error diagnosis. Additionally, the founder (though brilliant - or maybe because brilliant) wouldn't accept improvements in error reporting.

jq used to do this, but changed to preserve key order.

Android tablet + termux + bluetooth keyboard is cheaper, and better performance in some ways... The only problem is Google slowly locking down and squeezing the life out of termux.

Pedantry: the only exception I could think of is a timer (delay, alarm clock), where the output is when, not what. sleep 10 Yes, information technology is for processing information. Any transformation can be decomposed into lossy and los

There's an interesting approach to "consciousness", as what you are aware of, consciously. i.e. attention management. Animals are conscious of their environment in this way. But because humans also have a lot of models going

Folding, glasses or projection seem the only ways to smaller yet bigger. On a folding phone, I found the hinge is noticable on a blank screen - but not when watching a video. Not sure how it will go with a terminal, but if a window doesn&#
