I believe they mean token costs aren't a concern when you're not paying for a SOTA model via API, and are instead running local models. Infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters, an…

Why wait until then? The loudest and earliest crash you can get is a failure to compile with a rich type system (obviously, when possible).

Program logic fundamentally has to contend with different conditions. Sometimes the user will be logged in and have friends, sometimes they won't. The "maybe" style has the inconsi…

> Most of DuckDuckGo's non-privacy-related selling points are their instant answers, which in my experience are really good. And yet has no undeprecated pipeline for submitting non…

The ISO UK keyboard layout exists. The North American keyboard layout is North American, not "English".

It's asymmetric; it is significantly easier to make a clear image harder to read than it is making a fuzzy image clearer, and the same applies to data sets. There might be swaths o…

That's understandable; if you look at the slides and see all of the integrated features in one big blast, you're going to think "holy moly this was not meant for mortal men". In a …

I'm sure you probably discovered this by now, but the image is kept in memory until it is "saved" via the Save menu. The UX could probably do with some improvement showing that the…

Symbol.for("a") != Symbol.for("b") Perhaps you meant Symbol.for("a") for both?

Personally, I'd say Lua and its family of small, easy languages more easily fills those roles. Not that I doubt some people do voluntarily enjoy JavaScript, but because of the shee…

I'd wager a lot of this popularity is correlation, not causation. A lot of its popularity stems from being the dominant browser scripting language. This causes it to be popular wit…

Please do not compare all of the UK's immigration services with the way one customs agent handled their bad day.

I think that the author does get the pun; they made another of a similar calibre in the title of the post! Their main objection to the pragma would seem to be the MONKEY-SEE-NO-EVA…

But.. they are exploiting people. That's literally what they are doing; expecting people to purchase these tickets at a higher cost for the simple reason that supply is short.

Tell that to the drunk car crash victim, or the overloaded EMT at closing time.

My, disregarding all external political input is an awfully conservative viewpoint, don't you think?

For some people, deep sleep itself doesn't "feel" fulfilling, and justify it as simply dead time in 24 hours. A lot of people quickly reverse that sentiment once they try having a …

Isn't that the whole point of this post though? They've allowed you to edit files marked as "system files" despite a multitude of warnings, and now so many people have fucked up do…

Talking about the distribution of race in Silicon Valley ~ some magical jump in logic ~ Talking about deportation ~ another magical jump in logic ~ Talking about ethnic cleansing I…

I think your "death by a thousand cuts" comment really resonates with me; but it is a point against MacOS (and Windows!), not for. Yes, most things "just work". But if something ju…

Probably a long, long shot, but do you have any plans to create ISO layout boards in the future? Since most ISO boards only differ in keycap and not layout, it would theoretically …

I don't think they were quoting Matz as justification for why Python is wrong, they were quoting Matz to justify why what they don't like about Python isn't the wrong way. The whol…

Why? The onus isn't on a person who has given you the evidence to prove you wrong to invalidate their own evidence. You don't have to "spend the paragraphs of effort", just provide…

It seems detrimental to the cause to simply say "You are wrong, your evidence is wrong, and I'm not going to tell you why.", let alone the unnecessary insults.

However, "men in education" = 2,070,000 "women in technology" = 9,200,000
