I don't think this was super important given the core goals of the project. I agree that effortless tagged unions are a very valuable feature in a language, but it's also one that is paradigm shifting and requires a different set

An alternative: `zellij` is better is better. With `tmux` I never get the sense that I have "mastered" it. I simply don't know all the controls - I only have a few of my most commonly used ones. Stepping into `zellij`, I feel

How does copyleft license work in this case? Aren't they legally required to open-source their sources and publish it publicly or can they hide that behind a request system?

Partly because it's an ecosystem that I'd like to see grow. More people using it means that the other Rust-based projects I use will be better too. Partly because it is the "carbon fiber" of programming languages. Just i

I so very much want this idea but coded in Rust. Alas, I'll have to try this out.

And the largest benefit of modern technology comes from the fact that so much of it is "free" (ad-supported). Without ads, there would simply be no effect at all.

Tiny negligible impact on the industry (Except cut advertising revenue in half, but who cares. What do ads pay for anyways?)

If this is true, then there's a chance that there's no secret sauce to GPT4 that [Google doesn't already know about]( https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.16668 ).

I think that whole thing was a bit overblown. RHEL is free for individuals. When I need the stability of a server OS, I'd rather just use the real thing.

Do people on social media believe that all employees should freely share confidential internal information? Or is it that this is an email from a frustrated person and no one should ever share "bad feelings"? Or is it that CEOs sh

As someone who has been using ChatGPT to code recently - code reviews are one of the worst ways to use ChatGPT. Sure, it'll catch some stuff every now and then, but realize that it's still just a language model and things like des

This actually reminds me of something I've been thinking about lately. What we call honesty is actually two different things: truthfulness and openness. Americans are probably truthful and not open.

You're telling me it's so stable and mature that it hasn't needed an update in 7 years? Incredible.

> We found that the more a firm responded to complaints, the more likely it was to fall in both value and in perceived brand quality. Could someone with access to the actual paper tell me if they instead meant firms that responded throug

Resnet was when we figured out how to throw a fuckton of perceptrons together and make it actually work. We didn't think networks scaled before that.

What evidence have you seen? Every research paper in the first page of this search is evidence that it works. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=mindfulness+meditation It seems to be a staple for therapists and psycholog

I didn't know communication networks could be described with resistors. Are inductors, diodes, and voltage sources also relevant? How far does this go and why would you model networks this way?

No one says that the barrel isn't necessary. Just that it's there and we should be judicious about when we want to apply it.

It doesn't have to be significant. Just having 1 hacker in the 100 PLAYERS PER LOBBY will ruin the game - there will be no chance of a legitimate player winning, ever. Games have been abandoned even though companies actively catch chea

For me it's philosophically reminiscent of the Berlin Wall or the Chinese Great Firewall. Personally, my knee-jerk reaction is that it threatens certain freedoms, but I am also a liberal raised with a Western education.

Interesting. Maybe it's video games. This was true for me. If that's the case, we might see a surge of female programmers since more women become gamers than before.

Again, no one is saying women are less suitable. It's a question of how many women are choosing to do this sort of work versus men.

Holy crap thanks for the bbq facts!

Well it's not about who is more clever. I think the research shows that its pretty even between men and women after all is said and done. It's about what naturally interests us and there are differences there.

The discussion here is: what parts of culture are motivated by biology? It's obviously cultural. But what is motivating the culture? Also interesting to me that grilling is manly started in the 50's. That seems to be about the tim

But you have to ask why men step up to take the dangerous jobs? We didn't sit down and have a Socratic discussion about who takes which job. I posit that it's more than merely logic, that the motivations are rooted in our intuitio

1) I think it's worth removing all gender-based forms of adversity from every field. These do exist in STEM fields in the forms of biases and microaggressions. It's not evil - it's human. It's just what naturally happens
