It depends on the task, but you generally want some context. These models can do things like OCR and summarize a pdf for you, which takes a bit of working memory. Even more so for …

I like the alpine-ajax API. You specify one or more targets and it swaps each of those elements. No default case or OOB, just keeping it uniform instead. As for Datastar, all the s…

Consider supporting some organization working to repeal prohibition, e.g. LEAP. None of this could be justified without the war on drugs. Plus we'd get rid of the prime motivator f…

I really like Clojure, it's the language that finally made FP "click" for me. It was my go to for hobby/side projects for quite a while. Dynamic typing is why I eventually switched…

> Most open source maintainers work in their free time on those projects, and have an additional fulltime job to cover the bills. Are you certain? I'd think most open source develo…

If you're nearing/above 40 this is likely age related farsightedness (presbyopia) counteracting your myopia. https://www.nvisioncenters.com/farsightedness/and-age/

For one thing, new games on Linux should no longer be targeting a platform that should have been phased out before Steam even launched on the OS. And people will no longer need a d…

Actually, AMD's latest design, the RX 4x0 series, measures up really well to NVidia's mid and low end cards, especially for Vulkan/DX12 apps. They're not a contender in the enthusi…

No thanks. I can see this kind of legislation turning any online presence into a horribly expensive bureaucratic nightmare while accomplishing fuck-all security-wise. (At best.. Gi…

Why do you want to learn C or C++ if you can't think of something you'd like to use them for? I've written a fair bit of assembler and occasionally still do tiny projects in C or C…

I don't think open source is really about making money for most companies, it's more about improving quality and keeping costs down. At a former employer we did follow the give-it-…

There's no extreme right in Norway (at least not in the parliament). The so-called "extreme right" progress party are left of the US Democrats in all(?) matters. With only 16% of t…

Norway is the same. The norm is 37.5 hour work weeks. We're entitled to a 0.5 hour lunch break every day, but that's unpaid unless you're required to spend it on-site.

4) They were on a power trip and looking to destroy things for the sake of it, just to make some point. 5) Extending their "field time" for personal reasons, e.g. because it pays r…

I like Clojure, but this looks rather painful. If you're dead set on adding type declarations, perhaps you'd be better off with Haskell or something?

4096 bit keys only make sense if they're asymmetric and those won't capture anything close to 4096 bits of entropy. As for the strength of 256 bits, the Wikipedia page on brute for…

I like it this way. Less intrusive, but easy to find when you want it.

Thanks. I did fix it soon after posting, but guess the incorrect one could be cached for a while.

I think this 13-part series by Erik Meijer is great: http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/C9-Lectures-Erik-Meijer-Func... More material here: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Video_pr…
