Terrific thing! The FAQ should state explicitly that patron money will only be used for preservation, not put into GOG general revenue, if that is indeed true.

It's not a wildly false dichotomy. It's hyperbolic, sure, but the broad point that there are things that parents find hard to parent for reasons, and society should think about hel…

It's a coordination problem. I can "parent" my kids by banning them from social media sure, but if the other parents don't also do that, then I just made my kid a social outcast. A…

The basic mechanics look like very standard type of puzzle mechanics (e.g. Sokoban) that have been in many games over decades.

I'm British and I have sometimes chosen Canadian English as my OS language so that it will not constantly try to correct my usage of z in words like this.

Slate Star Codex's review is always worth a re-read https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/12/02/book-review-on-the-roa...

Right - don’t make subagents for the different roles, make them to manage context for token heavy tasks. A backend developer subagent is going to do the job ok, but then the superv…

Right - for me each year of university (in UK) was a year of learning with exams at the end, that was it, and it was normal.

To an extent I think would be surprising to anyone who hasn’t done interviews, all developer CVs below about Staff level are the same . Everyone’s architected a system, handled com…

I tried the demo, fingerprint.com, in: - Safari - Safari private mode - Chrome private mode and it was not able to identify me across those. I then tried - Chrome (normal, non-priv…

Maybe a dumb question, but what is the C# compiler and runtime that you use? I used to be up to date with .NET and Mono and stuff but I'm 10 years out of date

Can I ask a dumb question - how is Atomic set operation implemented internally if not by grabbing a lock?

As always when there's a new trend it refuses me. I showed it a picture of a street in Rome from our last holiday and the thinking traces show it was bang on but halfway through th…

He also wrote a story about how AI will create a non-literate society, because we'll all just talk to the computers whenever we need anything.

A big win, but not so stable - IIRC within a few years of this referendum the polls had swung back to about 2/3 against membership of the EC, where it remained for a long time.

Am I right that this article nowhere compares against the current red or even has anything with the current red in it, anywhere? Is that a policy choice there? They don't want to..…

It's interesting though - I'm not sure why they submitted a police report... they weren't robbed, Apple was.

> Removing nodes by adding a concept of implicit branches via "unless" clauses within a node doesn't necessarily make the system any easier to understand at a glance. The original …

How does it generate voice when it's based on a text based model? I read the readme but afraid I didn't understand

Thanks... I haven't thought about it in a long time, as it was difficult, but looking back it seems quite positive. Three things: 1. Full disclosure at that time in my life I was r…

More like AssholeHub. But not so rude.

Ahh takes me back! In 2009 I wrote a lib to auto-generate Ruby bindings for Vala code. It gave a very pleasant API to create native extensions for Ruby, if you were happy using gli…
