Well, actually I have a beastmode mobile workstation that gets maybe 3 hours of battery life on high intensity. And when the battery is depleted I find a table with an outlet and I…

I’d like to point out that compiling stuff is usually disk/io intensive. Could this not just be that the Apple machine has a faster hard drive/memory?

I think these performance metrics are somewhat limited in their usefulness. A Ryzen workstation might not have the same single-core performance or energy efficiency—however, a ryze…

I had a bad trip and afterward I had anxiety. No anxiety before then. I don’t have “Anxiety” requiring meds and such—the effects taper off over the years. Believe me, I know the ef…

I agree with all of what you’re saying, but the comment I reply to says it “harms noone.” I am saying it does harm people. To be frank, I have taken a decent amount of LSD in teena…

Not sure I’d agree with “harms noone.” I have taken LSD and easily walk in the middle of the road with no cause for concern. Imagine a child accidentally eating some of it, etc. Co…

We used to tell children the truth. Just read the old fairy tales—Pinocchio, Little Red Riding Hood, etc.

On that note it is a great tool during development to get a piece working without connecting it to the broader application. Test driven development gives a nice debugging context t…

Isn’t that a mapping? Because the primary purpose of the string of glyphs is readable by humans. Such representation is mapped to the numerical representation for storage in the co…

I like 1995 era laptops more than modern ones. I also like the the plastic casings of desktops back then—they feel solid, same with the mechanical keyboards! Today companies so bus…

Really it’s not because it’s a sequence of glyphs first and foremost. It can be mapped to a number though.

See your thoughts make no sense because you’re on the computer all day. Mammoths, anesthesia, and pens don’t do computations for people

Yes but you’ll know and remember the route after plotting it yourself—and spatial awareness increases making you a better driver. Think of it this way: everything our phones/comput…

Yeah I agree the legislation would help—but the legislators mostly don’t know much about tech I’m guessing. And the experts they call in I’d wager are from big companies with their…

This seems like more a solution to open, transparent platforms. It’s a shame that we are going backwards: you used to be able to download software from the internet, direct from pu…

I feel like the Airline industry does this when they say, “only 4 more tickets left!” Or “2 tickets recently purchased!” There’s probably some terminology for this in game theory (…

AI can be conscious most certainly. Figure we can make bio robots in 100 years. All that needs to happen is building brains in the lab and bootstrapping them. The first versions wi…

Gotta love the headline

Is the Big Bang like it was evening and it was morning and it was good? Thou speakest as though thou knowest there was darkness and it was and then lightness escaped the darkness.

On the other hand doesn’t forward declaration make sense? The code is declaring it depends on the forward declaration defined “somewhere else”. In a sense it is documenting the the…

People don’t need new cars we need horse and buggies; they have low carbon emissions and high safety ratings.

I usually say duck it and dust off my shiny Perl necklace

They are referring to the George Jetson maneuverability

Well, the features in Raku ARE what would be (and was) Perl 6. Perl 5 most likely won’t inherit these features as the benefit of Perl 5 IMHO is that it is stable and ubiquitous. Ra…
