Though to be more charitable closure was a direct reaction to the difficulty of maintaining a huge JavaScript codebase for Gmail and static typing like Java really helped. Typescri…

Today’s version would be to grade shell script homework randomly on either Linux or macOS :)

Do you know of a good ready-made implementation of such a proxy? I’ve been looking for one. GitHub is also a worry in terms of exfiltration. You can’t block pushes to public repos …

Favelas

That might be somewhat ungenerous unless you have more detail to provide. I know that at least some LLM products explicitly check output for similarity to training data to prevent …

You do know that something similar is true for JPEG, right? :) JPEG is a compression method. Files with JPEG-compressed data are most likely to be in either JFIF or EXIF container …

Nit: RDP’s roots are more in multi-user windows like Citrix Metaframe than in remote administration. I’ve found it to perform better than the alternatives (remote X11, VNC, Chrome …

I’m sorry you went through that

Not quite. You take Finnish pancake batter (unleavened, a bit thicker than French crepes) and add blanched, finely chopped spinach or nettles. https://scandicuisine.com/stinging-ne…

Relatively common in Finland to use young nettles like you’d use spinach in hot dishes (soup, blanched, pancakes).

I can be that someone this time. The ”repair and protect” version has helped my low-level toothache.

Heads-up to people trying this: Gmail will often put forwarded email into spam. Be careful especially in the beginning to check your spam folder. They may also reject the mail as s…

Thanks for the links. AFAICT these have not resulted in any shipping products.

Sorry, I meant to emphasize _different_ mechanical connections. That a sensor that detects pressure has a different mechanical linkage than the one detecting vibration. So you need…

The article points out that the human hand has over 10000 sensors with specific spatial layout and various specialised purposes (pressure / vibration / stretching / temperature) th…

Depends heavily on the use case. Indeed many tasks humans carry out are done without touch feedback - but many also require it. An example of feed-forward manipulation is lifting a…

Do you know of success stories here? Success of transferring models learned in physics simulation to the real world. When we (ZenRobotics) tried this 15 years ago a big problem was…

Around 2008 a core step in search was basically a grep over all documents. The grep was distributed over roughly 1000 machines so that the documents could be held in memory rather …

IIRC it was never used for any voice/call switching. I think it was used in one (line of) ATM switch(es).

Definitely lowered alcohol consumption for me. I no longer get that dopamine rush of the first drink. Some people go as far as describing it as anhedonia. I kinda get it.

Could you provide a pointer to docs for this? It wasn't obvious from an initial read of their docs.

I remember that years ago (mobile) Safari would aggressively use GPU layers and crash if you ran out of GPU memory. Maybe that's still happening? Preview on a mac handles the file …

I remember being able to file support cases just by buying one for a couple of hundred dollars. They'd also promise that if it turned out to be a bug in the product the fee would b…

So maybe not luxury, but premium. Like MB or Audi in cars. Pricing still plays out differently.
