A real treat for all the pilgrims on the Camino this year

Pronounced like “groom” makes for a nice analogy with slimming down the model size too.

This. My wife and I can hardly buy each other surprise gifts because the targeted advertising gives us away every time.

In his dissent [1], Justice Kavanaugh states: > Given that the phrase “adjust the imports”—again, in a statutory provision that did not use specific words such as “tariff ” or “dut…

Can an industry insider confirm this tracking? Interesting take, thank you. I hadn’t considered the privacy implications of tipping.

In my research I take notes exactly as described here. I use plain-text files, one per week, with dated sections using markdown-ish notation where convenient. Display is never a go…

I recall a paper from many years ago (early 2010s) describing methods to estimate the camera motion and remove motion blur from blurry image contents only. I think they used a qual…

This is... hard to follow. You seem to be implying that Cloudflare is covering for USG's failed military op-sec surrounding a malicious BGP leak, and judging that this is such a ba…

The scientific report is much more detailed: https://cdn.realfood.gov/Scientific%20Report.pdf I agree with siblings that nothing jumps out (to my non-expert eye) as "very extreme".…

> a quick introduction to a few modern Fortran features: declaring variables, printing and reading to and from the terminal, if and select case, and stop Pretty much sums up this o…

I’ve never heard of this. Are you saying I could enter “MyLocal Bank” as the payer name instead of my own when transacting online with a credit card? This seems like the kind of fa…

To be clear, I'm not disagreeing with antirez at all. I feel his argument in my bones. I am a smart programmer. I want simple, powerful systems that leave the kid gloves in the dra…

I am often responsible for landing branches created by colleagues who are less disciplined about their diff cleanliness than me. Very often, attempting to regroup a spurious change…

> many programmers are smart, and if instead of creating a magic system they have no access to, you show them the data structure, the tradeoffs, they can build more things, and mod…

Thank you for the many tool links! You seems to know this space well. I have come to pick your brain for more. I have been searching for a while for good tools to split/regroup dif…

An underrated reason to remove eligibility testing is to make programs accessible for people in poverty. Navigating a means-tested welfare program is byzantine in the worst way-- a…

I used Tcl at my very first internship for test automation. Coming from a self-taught Javascript/Java/C#/C++ background, Tcl really stretched my concept of what a programming langu…

You’re right, shallowly — the quality of their implementation bears on these results. One could read this paper as Salesforce publicly weighing their own reputation for wielding ex…

I interpreted this to mean he holds clean water (e.g. from a bottle) in his mouth when entering the toilet, for the purpose of wetting toilet paper. A clever solution, IMO.

Certainly! The limit is your creativity. My first idea: generate very large scale 2D noise. Choose a threshold to divide it into regions. For each region, choose a direction of mot…

You're correct that the Supreme Court ultimately has final appellate jurisdiction on matters of immunity, but that's a long way from enabling dictatorship. To get there, we would n…

That opinion specifically defers to lower courts to define the precise limits of the President's immunity. I refuse to believe that the collective effort of the judicial branch wou…

I'm no legal scholar, but sure, I'll elaborate as a layman. During the Presidency, impeachment and judicial review are the important checks. During the transition of power, state-c…

In the second quote, the phrases "in their official capacity" and "as the position of the United States" are doing a lot of heavy lifting. The EO is going out of its way to broadca…
