There's a very easy way out for them: Just claim that the bible is rather metaphorical than literal, and many things can be interpreted to be in line with scientific findings. That…

>A company cannot realize monopolistic benefits without > 50% control of a market. I don't think that's true at all. Why 50% specifically? This is not about political votes or anyt…

> [...] dark patterns are a short term strategy for winning and I'm optimistic that in the long run they will be replaced with those that are more respectful and oriented to the gr…

I like the fact that it gives animated feedback to emphasize what is happening/being altered. Native components don't always do that very well. Animations are not just artsy fluff,…

Ah yeah, we all had either TI-89 or v200. Still was already 20-year-old tech at the time we bought it for the price of a mid-range modern phone. It really should have cost a fracti…

...or was just looking for a clickbait title. Surely someone once offered a vulnerability for 500k somewhere, but that doesn't mean someone bought it.

There is definitely the effect of less or de-growth in the industry, which started before the current AI hype. And now there's the additional effect of companies hoping AI will rep…

Same here (actually had a voyage 200, but same same I guess). It's actually quite insulting that TI kept (and keeps?) selling waaay outdated hardware at horrendous prices. It's the…

You will likely end up in maintenance hell soon. This will likely not be much easier with AI because coding is not the hard/annoying part, it's the fact that you need to dust off e…

The closer I start working with and on AI stuff, the more I start seeing the disconnect between doomsday predictions of what AI will replace vs. what it is actually capable of. Yes…

Any day now... Just a bit more space in the context window, trust me bro.

This has been a recurring theme since the dawn of video games: Everyone talks about graphics (devs and gamers), but ultimately the good and beloved games are the ones with great ga…

But J-Space is much catchier. This is not a scientific paper, it's a promotional essay.

And why not accelerate using swing-bys on moons and planets? Of course this gets harder the faster you're already moving, but IIUC Voyager 1 has roughly 0.01% c, and this was launc…

Yes, this is essentially because mathematics is such an old science and goes very deep into branches. That's btw also why getting a certain degree is much harder there than in any …

Sure, but obviously that sentence implies that wrong abstractions are fairly common.

Only tangenially relevant, but the exagerrated differentiation of universities, and levels of education (e.g. PhD vs. not) has always been bothering me. I only have experience in a…

> if you are on vacation, you are simply not available. You are dead to the world until you return. Emails do not get read, and devices get left at the office. It's funny because t…

1. What if the browser gets closed/killed? 2. Error messages around syncing issues are notoriously worse than those of a sync request to the backend that failed. So the UX in the e…

TL;DR: Background syncing instead of synchronous updates to the cloud. This is basically a thick client, and comes with according trade-offs. It's interesting and there are some be…

Shit, that was 10 years ago already? Feels more recent, also in terms of technology.

Huh, people use the mouse with vim? Or am I missing something?

I was wondering if the author is joking, but after reading a bit more about the attribution drama, it seems rather a lack of reality check and reflection. If you plagiarize work, g…

Do you have a link?

Programming competitions are not the same as real-world engineering, plus these countries have way more people trying to use these competitions as a gateway to good jobs. Also, man…
