Their home page first sentence states : "The Long Now Foundation is a nonprofit established in 01996 to foster long-term thinking." So I don't know if the concept is explained in m…

Probably adoption of the "long now" foundation style ?

The "fair use" part takes a lot of place in this article. It talks a lot about what happens if you use more tokens than what you're allowed, but curiously doesn't pip a word about …

It's a good idea, but from the docs it looks like the high level abstractions are wrong. If my data pipeline is "take this table, filter it, output it", I really don't want to use …

All of this seems unnecessary, and easily replaced in the provided benchmark by : i2 = np.ascontiguousarray(pg.surfarray.pixels3d(isurf)) Which does the 100x speedup too and is a "…

I wonder why are the example videos this specific clip compilation format. It feels to me that to navigate that, you essentially have to index 500 10-seconds videos, and that looks…

Bricklink has been acquired by Lego 4 years ago, I don't think that's a secret at all !

The planet has never been, is not and probably won't be in any near future in peril. Humanity is. Humans disappearing is the concern of ecology. The planet will adapt just fine wit…

Here's a conclusion that you can also take from the same article : "In the UK, ages 1-59 year olds are dying at almost eight time the rate if they don't have any baby tooth left an…

Since a bag ("sac") has no exit hole ("cul"), and so a "cul-de-sac" is a (I guess 2nd degree ?) way of saying "way with no exit".

Is focusing on github stars specially meaningful ? Is there any functional difference for the repo between having 6k stars (as of today) and 54k ? I don't think so honestly. Github…

If think the joke is that author himself don't side with the (mostly pointless) debate about pizza and pineapple, so whatever your own opinion, you can see his point.

The sheer difference in placement and style between the "now now" button and the "allow suggestions" button is all one need to know to be certain it's a bad idea to allow that. You…

But then someone at the bank has to decide between Visa and Mastercard. And this persons surely thinks "ok, the conditions are roughly the same, what is going to make sure none of …

In the context of the presented html, the first line is . So, "no-js" does exist.

The blog is called "a collection of unlimited pedantry", so at least some pedantry is to be expected !

You can split with a business case in mind. Maybe if you're an e-business, you'll split everything happening on your website by client id, but still want events belonging to a sing…

>Your new technology claims to be superior to existing lithium-ion To be fair, it doesn't. The article is explicit that it's only 20% as mass efficient s lithium-ion battery. On th…

Well, my initial point wasn't that bandwidth is _bad_, it isn't, but rather that the fact that ISPs got everyone, apparently including lawmakers to focus on it isn't good for our a…

How often does your cloud storage provider allows you to send 1Gbps to them ? For the ones I use (dropbox, mega, google drive), the answer is never where I live. At best, it will b…

A 4K video is 16Mbps, it seems reasonable that a household would want to have 3 of that running, or at least will want that in the near future. With the common background traffic a…

But none of this already fills the capacity. Websites are served on slow as hell aws virtual web servers, delivering their content byte by byte or so it seems. Content is already n…

Well : 1. A 4K video, if I estimate it at 56 GB per hour, need roughly 16MBps. Even if 3 people are using that, that's 50Mbps needed. 2. Downloading a video game is usually capped …

I wonder where is the breakpoint in throughput where it become useless to have more. While ATT stance of 50/10 is certainly not enough for common usages, 100/20 starts to be in the…

Does mainstream cinema production portray anyone as a _normal person_ ? It doesn't stop to academics. Every single profession has its tropes, and it's quite uncommon in my opinion …
