Reminds me of a "Washing Machine Trategy" by Stanisław Lem. A short story that may be a perfect parabole of the today's AI bubble.

Another cool example is Nexus One's trackball. It had advantage of being able to scroll in any direction.

I remember playing a pretty simple Basic game on my Commodore+4 called "Kubusiowe Litery" or "Kubusiowe Literki", unfortunately my cassette with the game got damaged, and I cannot …

I was expecting either the Alpine Linux, or a port to js of the mail client. :)

Unfortunately both Alts are not equivalent. The right one, the AltGr is uaef in many languages to type letters with diacritics. E.g. in Polish AltGr+Z is Ż, while AltGr+X is Ź. Sti…

Boom is "just" pure Doom + some static limits being raised, and a few new types of floors and lines (plus a few other smaller changes) :)

I've actually implemented the Game of Life in Doom engine. But I've used a significantly stronger "computation model" - Boom engine, which provided scrolling floors, and more actio…

That's why I loved The Witness devs who released an update for the game, with improved support for my crappy old integrated GPU on laptop. Even though it was not meeting tmhardware…

"People" don't need just lossless, they need The Beatles to release all of their pre-master tracks to be released in lossless format, so they of them can create their own remastere…

On the other hand over last few months majority of post from sma few of private Google Groups, I'm member of, keep getting wrongly clsssified as spam. I don't know if it's related …

Yup. I really loved all the functional stuff I've learned there from OCaml to SML+Extended ML, to Haskell. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to professionally program functiona…

Not the original commenter, but my first year course of Introduction of Programming 15 years age was also using OCaml. There were two groups of students, standard one was using Pas…

I've misread the title as "You can do a lot with an empty life", and clicked eagerly hiping to learn how to deal with the feeling of emptiness in your life.

You can very well parallelise CPU-intensive problems. Look at e.g. "Embarassingly parallel" on Wikipedia. Intuitively if you can divide your work into chunks that are large enough,…

I can see several of the compact models here: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris#Sony But e.g. not XZ1c

I've once implemented a regular expression engine based directly on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brzozowski_derivative – it's straightforward to implement both intersection and ne…

In Poland it's Polish, not Russian ;)

I'd call myself an ignorant as far as philosophy goes, but I found „Philosophical investigations” much more readable and influential on me than the „Tractatus”.

I hope very few people will own electric cars in the future (or any car whatsoever). We don't need more cars on the road - we barely can squeeze them on our roads now. We need good…

You can find a somewhat playable early "prototype" linked from here: https://waxy.org/2008/04/milliways_infocoms_unreleased_seque...

If I'm reading http://wardsattic.com/joomla/Download/BellmanForestProblem.p... correctly, the ratio you're looking for is ≈ 2.0471.

I use zile.

What's the problem with the "mutable"? I thought that it does not impair the type safety.
