Obviously yes. While I have the privilege of earning money from services instead of products, I still think that producing creative works is important and should be done whether th…

Yeah art has objective value and subjective value. Every once in a while you'll find something with a lot of subjective value. Finding something with both is also a thing but it's …

I'm surprised no one in the comments has mentioned overfitting. Perhaps this is too obvious but I think of it as a very clear bug in a model if it asserts something to be true beca…

Can you compare your robot to Baxter? I'm curious to see how this works. Congrats on shipping!

That's not correct. Each distro has a huge amount of code in the form of patches, packaging and installation that they handle.

In what way are we not ready? If you don't have the necessary critical reasoning skills to doubt Joe Rogan telling you about complete bullshit, no one needs technology to trick you…

This helps answer a serious argument I had on whether Puerto Rico and/or Washington D.C. should become states. Some people argued that the the flag could stay the same. I think the…

I used emscripten to make physics and math software written in Fortran available to my JavaScript program. I would've used wasm, but it was in poor shape back when I wrote the soft…

You ignore the fact that there are perverse incentives among the participants. It's possible to implement, and I'm doing it myself. If I had more time to spend on it, we could end …

Medscape is owned by WebMD fyi.

Can you give any advice on how to get in the right mindset to give significant part of your income to charity? Or did you have no trouble deciding that? I understand how fortunate …

Rock Band 3 was pretty close to that game for me. It convinced me to get real drum training and to learn the keyboard. I want to play a game where all the NPCs are AI trained with …

Thank you for sharing your source code for Empire!

I don't have a lot of experience with IMPALA, but the sequence of events you describe should be very easy for an end-to-end system. Assuming you don't have an end to end system, ju…

Here I have a little bit of experience. When a person has shown themselves to be a pathological liar, you can't judge their ideas on their own merits because the cost of judging fa…

The emulator doesn't work in Firefox because of a syntax error, await in the top level isn't supported. Remember to test your code in more than one browser.

Is your game for sale or available? I'm releasing my first game now and am curious to see examples of negative results -- since all I ever see are positive results.

Your questions are answered in the thread, which is a pretty significant feat to overcome (I ditto the pomodoro method, exercise, and higher expectations). That said, laziness is n…

It's been a while since I visited Chicago, but I stayed in a hotel downtown. Not only was public transit excellent and easy to use, but walking was a delight. I don't remember ther…

Do you think that static analysis is a valuable tool for security research? Do you recommend static analysis software to a single developer with a limited budget or an amateur?

I completed the course with Octave, but yeah this language is a hurdle that people don't need.
