The reason for Go was that much of the research was based on AI algorithms like Monte-Carlo. What was "solved" with AlphaGo was using deep learning machine learning which are effec…

Yeah that's a lot better. Don't get me wrong, I love playfulness, especially in documentation. It's just that before you even really know what a product is or does it seemed like i…

Initially, I was pretty thoroughly perplexed by what this actually did since all I did was click the original link and didn't even see this post text. I figured it out through most…

I'm pretty sure his about is word salad. /s But seriously it doesn't make much sense to me, but that actually might be a comprehension problem on my part. It does sound very trolly…

That is news to me, and good to know. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/python-27-rea... Apparently RHEL will maintain any security problems until 2024, but yeah it's …

> So when people come up with labels like 'schizopost' or 'word salad' "word salad" is not a label made up by dumb people, it's generally a alternate term for schizophasia. It's al…

I really liked my System76 laptop until the AC adapter died. I looked around on their site to buy accessories and it wasn't there. Eventually I found you have to open a support tic…

Debian and Fedora have always been my two recommended distros for people. They are the upstream providers of the packages for most distros, and in the case of Ubuntu it has always …

Python2.7 is still maintained. If you mean my software I mentioned if something breaks I'm still required to fix it. I just doubt that will happen at this point and have other task…

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2718/ There's still a macOS installer for the latest release of Python2.7 (4/20/2020).

I had a similar problem with the YouTube plugin for Kodi recently. Turned out to be some weird Python 3.10 regression that took over a month to fix. For ProtonVPN you can also use …

That's what Python2.7 is and why every major proprietary product won't adopt anything else. It's also why it won't go away. All of my Python 2.6-2.7 scripts haven't been touched in…

That's also definitely true for universities with enough reputation and infrastructure to score large contracts/grants with private sector corporations (or mega US defense contract…

I'm very much a fan of password-store on that list: https://www.passwordstore.org/ Worst case scenario it's basically just a wrapper for GPG, so you can always get at the password …

The fundamentals are that you need to exceed O(2^N) > 80 bits roughly in complexity of your keys. Adding some padding to that is a good idea because some algorithms can be simplifi…

I use Linux, but it should be pretty straightforward on Mac as well. Just type "R" in the command prompt and check the manpage for R itself ("man R"). I'd also look into the "knitr…

Just ignore them. Doomers will exist your whole life, they have throughout mine. They used to be the evangelicals, but I guess the failures of Y2K and 2012 to come to fruition made…

For Python (at least Python3) a better example might have been b"" and "". They are not equal, and they are empty. You have to decode or encode one, for instance, and different fun…

I use Vim with the R command line wrapped around Makefiles. I don't even have RStudio installed. Works great. I can even pop up an interactive R command prompt session and do whate…
