    Super interesting. Last week-end I was exploring the current possibilities of automated Ghidra analysis with Codex. My first attempt derailed quickly, but after giving it the pyghi…

    I've been wondering the same. Apparently, where I live (HCOL) people don't care about ever paying off the full amount, as long as the monthly installment is low. Regulations only r…

    When I read stories like this about cool technology from the past that people can still enjoy today, I think it's a pity that the source code is locked away and lost as people and …

    Looks like a different approach. Intel's chip is based on digital circuits. They try an analog approach.

    Well it kinda is. Empirically, you could have bought a share of the SPX at any point in time, and sold it with profit later. The real problem is what happened in the time between, …

    Nice reminder of some general principles. I wonder how well it applies to young scientists given today's academic career prospects, though. > If you want to make progress in any ar…

    slightly OT, but does anyone know if there have been any attempts at creating an open source version of the original CS? Kinda like OpenRA or similar?

    Are there more sources for technical details about the new infrastructure? The interview linked above left me with more questions than answers.

    In this context, the dimensions are the degrees of freedom that a particle can move in. I think it becomes meaningful when you consider the metric (ie. definition of distances) and…

    Yes, that's what I meant. Perhaps it's related to the way the printing company produced the books, so this might not be an issue with other companies. My memory is a bit fuzzy abou…

    Having your own book in your hands feels awesome. I've done the same, but not with KDP. Unfortunately, I can't publish it as I had to give up my rights to it (screw you OUP/publish…

    It's funny, but I feel in the opposite position. To me, computers had become associated with work-only, so much that I needed a change. I decided to assemble a new machine for fun …

    Thanks for your reply! I see the corporate aspect of F#, but can you elaborate on what you mean by "special" about Haskell?

    Comment #25728092

    What I'd like to understand: When/why does one choose Haskell over other functional languages e.g. F# or OCaml? It looks to me like they would satisfy the same points that the arti…

    yes, and I agree with that. But I also feel like the language is mainly used in a type of business environments that are already tied to .NET infrastructure anyway, and who actuall…

    the emphasis is on "deeply". I think .NET can be quite an advantage, as stated also in the article. but if I want to, say, set up a dev environment on linux, it comes with a set of…

    It looks like a nice project. I've also felt the urge to do some TUI programming recently. Actually, I also thought a simple music player was a nice way to do that. Must be the hom…

    it's kinda scary that the go-to personal investment plan is based on a leveraged buy & sell with the implied promise that things perpetually increase in value.
