Organization: I got a storage organizer with 24 drawers. One for each type of cable I use. So instead of one big box that I have to hunt through, I have instant, labeled access to …

But was it distinguishable by tetrachromat?

You are assuming that they haven't. Brambles can trap sheep, benefiting from the sheep as fertilizer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrGobnZq83g Falling coconuts can not only kill…

The pi has a sub $100 accelerator card that takes it to 30 TFLOPs. So you can add three more orders of magnitude of performance for a rough doubling of the price.

Doesn't work. Did it die under the load? Firefox and safari, iPhone.

I think it's the writing. I learned long ago that I could read a book, study it, think about it. And I still would really master the material until I built with it.

For me, it's a bit like pair programming. I have someone to discuss ideas with. Someone to review my code and suggest alternative approaches. Some one that uses different feature t…

I think he's saying you can click and edit on the diagram, which mermaid doesn't support. This does propagate back into the source. I think you are talking about "just change the t…

Off-the-cuff thought: Could you solve the empty string hashes to zero problem by just adding one when computing hash codes?

You have to make the choice about sharing at the start. If you use AGPL and later decide to make changes, you'll have to share. So most don't want to risk it. But more important, A…

Doesn't AGPL give you LESS rights? (fewer?) AGPL is pretty much a non-starter for any commercial development. The RSALv2 let you use Redis, unless you were a service provider. Now,…

Automated dependency resolution has made it so the default is frequently > Someone imports a single method from the RIGHT package and hundreds of megabytes come in for what might b…

Well, the video linked above is labelled "Esgrima de Machete y Garrote.".

No one seems to be talking about the fact that we need to change the definition of cheating. People's careers are going to be filled with AI. College needs to prepare them for that…

This basically turns research papers as a whole into a big generative adversarial network.

I suggest backing it up in multiple places. Electronic forms are so much less durable than physical.

There are tons of products that do this. Are you familiar with the market you are trying to enter? Look at what they are doing.

And half the problem is not that there is one bit of software doing tracking, it's that there are fourteen different package that different people added at some point, all doing si…

This is pretty interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_biosphere "he biomass in the deep subsurface is about 15% of the total for the biosphere" I'd bet that it's a higher …

Yeah, and everyone who did not flunk security training knows not to click on the links. Don't send me a link, tell me where to find it, after I log in.

I feel this article makes the same mistake many technical articles make. What does it do? After reading a large chunk of the article, I have no idea. No, wait it "enables behavior"…

Social media, for example.

But it's changing over time, and students always lied. But it's possible that this generation is wiser/ more cynical and doesn't believe in anonymous surveys. I know I don't.
