The reason for Go was that much of the research was based on AI algorithms like Monte-Carlo. What was "solved" with AlphaGo was using deep learning machine learning which are effectively black boxes. There was a certain assumptio

Yeah that's a lot better. Don't get me wrong, I love playfulness, especially in documentation. It's just that before you even really know what a product is or does it seemed like it was worded like "don't even try

Initially, I was pretty thoroughly perplexed by what this actually did since all I did was click the original link and didn't even see this post text. I figured it out through mostly the 2017 link above. I have a pretty good idea now

I really liked my System76 laptop until the AC adapter died. I looked around on their site to buy accessories and it wasn't there. Eventually I found you have to open a support ticket to get a replacement. Not only did it take multip

Debian and Fedora have always been my two recommended distros for people. They are the upstream providers of the packages for most distros, and in the case of Ubuntu it has always been a bad choice. Even from day one, forking Debian and br

Python2.7 is still maintained. If you mean my software I mentioned if something breaks I'm still required to fix it. I just doubt that will happen at this point and have other tasks to do.

I had a similar problem with the YouTube plugin for Kodi recently. Turned out to be some weird Python 3.10 regression that took over a month to fix. For ProtonVPN you can also use the OpenVPN config files they provide to avoid any Python c

That's what Python2.7 is and why every major proprietary product won't adopt anything else. It's also why it won't go away. All of my Python 2.6-2.7 scripts haven't been touched in 10 years in production and they a

The fundamentals are that you need to exceed O(2^N) > 80 bits roughly in complexity of your keys. Adding some padding to that is a good idea because some algorithms can be simplified in theory (for instance AES-128 is actually simplifie
