It's unbelievable that the average human being has access to the lectures of some of the best universities in the world for free. 31 hours of in-depth mathematics by some of the best people in their field. Although I have always been s

This reminds me of Asimov's Jokester story where the same themes are explored - there is an all-knowing computer but someone needs to ask the correct questions. "Early in the history of Multivac, it had become apparent that the bo

This fallacy also assumes that free will exists (it does not) and you could have made different choices (you couldn't have). Accepting that your choices are not free and are influenced by multiple factors (such as your current state, y

The bug in question was a out of bounds writing to a stack allocated buffer. The compiler would choose to store some variables to registers for optimization purposes. When calling a function - these registers' contents would get pushed

Those are the kind of bugs one remembers for life.

And then there are those rare cases where inserting a print or a new condition to use for conditional breakpoint forces the compiler to output slightly different code which does not produce the bug. Essentially this is similar to the Observ

This sketch is a gem, I liked it! It is absolutely correct - people can and will divide if this is their goal. Sadly this mass social disintegration on all levels affects negatively various free software products. I don't even hold any

That's not quite true though. Developers, contributors and financial supporters have been banned. "In a particularly peculiar move, a "Titanium Level" financial supporter of Godot was blocked during this mass banning cam

In my opinion politics should stay out of software but sadly it gets harder and harder every day. In any case - banning people (some of them contributors and developers) from all platforms only because they suggested that Godot should &quot

Good article, also has references to the glib's source. I've never dived deep into the random() system function before. This is from the man pages: "The random() function should not be used in multithreaded programs where rep

This is why I believe there should be no downvote at all. Or there should be a way to see which posts are the most controversial instead of hiding them. When someone disagrees with an opinion and downvotes it - they bury it and in a way hid

Yes, this is it, thank you for providing the source, it was an interesting read.

Great work! I liked how well the vintage look and the modern core fit. I'm not sure where I read it but it was stated that the Geiger counters which are manufactured after the Chernobyl (?) incident were not as accurate as those manufa

Sure but they are not in a public git repo and I think the public has the right to see the full story. The police are the easiest target right now but those people who take advantage on the riots to loot are kind of left out of sight.
