Fun trivia: the greeting only started to become a thing during the Meiji era as part of moral and ethics education. It may be argued that it has its roots in Buddhist teachings, but there's a theory that the drive to make it a common h

Isn't Germany an exception to that?

The majority of anime, at least the Japanese ones, do resemble each other a lot at times, but the AI anime style resembles none of them. It has this distinct style that makes it recognizable as AI art. It is more similar to the style used i

The last time I heard HR being completely let go was with a fintech company Bolt. Then again, that company was midsized, around 200-500 people or so. For larger companies, it's going to be difficult to even realize that HR is redundant

I think that's because it's easier to package a DOSbox program than a Win16 program (it had Win32 edition, but supposedly the installer itself was Win16). According to pcgamingwiki, there's a patch to convert the GOG DOS edit

I have a very vague memory of being able to name streets, so this might be that.

I've never seen a CAS that gives two answers for sqrt. Mathematica doesn't, sympy doesn't, and IIRC Maxima also doesn't.

It'd be great if IDEs can store a stack of functions currently being explored similar to what you get when debugging. Not breadcrumbs, but plain stack. Bonus points if you can store multiple stacks, and give them names according to the

We have OnlyOffice as an alternative today. Personally I find the UI quite pleasing. But lately I haven't had any need to use office suite at home so I don't really use it so I have yet to find anything to complain (meanwhile, Lib

Does seamonkey still work on modern internet? Last time I tried it to open Notion, nothing was displayed. Works great on old world stuff though.

From my understanding, the code is MIT, but the model isn't? What consitutes a "Software" anyway? Aren't resources like images, sounds and the likes exempt from it (hence, covered by usual copyright unless separately lic

Now I know that grouping J with APL is a mistake.

That's one thing, the other is you find out you were optimizing for the wrong thing, and now it takes more effort and time to reoptimize for the right thing.

Check against FLT_EPSILON. Oh boy. The reason is floating point precision errors, sure, but that check is not going to solve the problems. Took a difference of two numbers with large exponents, where the result should be algebraically zero

You can add the guideline, but then people would skip the "I asked" part and post the answer straight away. Apart from the obvious LLMesque structure of most of those bot answers, how could you tell if one has crafted the answer s

The point still stands. The human body still isn't going change. That's why insulin pump can afford to have all kinds of rigorous engineering, while web-facing infrastructure on the other hand needs to be able to quickly adapt to

The best thing about gccgo is that it is not burdened with the weirdness of golang's calling convention, so the FFI overhead is basically the same as calling an extern function from C/C++. Take a look at [0] and see how bad golang

Might as well post it here since it's open access.

LAPACK is still Fortran, even in OpenBLAS where they only have f2c translated codes but hardly any assembly kernels.

I always install WinCompose specifically for this. Then a Greek letter is as simple as pressing Compose with *, followed by the related Roman letter. Though I still struggle to remember which key maps to which for the letters with no real 1

Brings back memories. There was a time when the fork, libav, became the default on Ubuntu, and ffmpeg commands would say "this command is no longer maintained" or so. That was where I learned that there was a fork, and I thought f

It's really unintuitive how a mere increase in number of dimensions could totally change the scale of things. This is the crux of the curse of dimensionality in machine learning. If you simply stacked it high, it may almost reach the s

Isn't a clock and a gyroscope precisely two things that are needed for the missile to know where it is at all times? Like, it can then know where it isn't by subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't

The parent comment is not about following examples, but rather that the impact Streisand effect is going to be very limited, and the common folk will not bother to circumvent.

While the search feature is nice, the reference itself still lacks some details about what an instruction actually does. Take for example, [1], and compare it with say [2] (with diagram), [3] (ditto), or [4] (only pseudocode but helpful non

Wow, it didn't appear when I searched for "Amazon Japan" and filtering for "past week". Now, both appear. That one was timestamped 2025-04-26T04:39:02 while mine is 2025-04-27T08:42:16, more than 24 hours apart. The

I don't know why but I get this uncanny feeling when looking at the restored images. Maybe it's because I know it is restored, I wonder if I'd feel the same way if I find it in the wilds.

That is strange, I thought this had always been the case. Long ago, I had a chat about feature selection and dimension reduction, and I expressed my preference of not resorting to PCA because it doesn't actually remove features. After
