Microsoft: But how am I supposed to know you don’t want cookies without storing 29 cookies on your device?

Easy! Just sleep faster!

I can’t quote a study, but I did read the book Germs Genes and Civilizations. The author observed that the power of the church grew during situations like the Black Plague or the 30 years war, and waned during the Enlightenment.

The EU is a relatively large market, and it wouldn’t make economic sense to develop and produce EU-specific devices. I’m pretty sure you’ll also be seeing replaceable batteries.

After I printed a thing I was able to reconnect wireless about five-six hours later.

Thanks for all your suggestions! My working theory is that either the electronics are dying or a connectivity issue, that the device is trying to connect to an update server or whatever.

The former would be a poor show for a device with just 500h of usage, and the latter would be really really bad programming. Either way, it’s a problem with a relatively easy workaround!

If you haven’t published a few papers then your preference in acronyms is irrelevant.

AI comprises everything from pattern recognition like OCR and speech recognition to the complex transformers we know now. All of these are specialized in that they can only accomplish a single task. Such as recognizing graffiti or generating graffiti. AGI, artificial general intelligence, would be flexible enough to do all the things and is currently considered the holy grail of ai.

I’m putting way to much thought in this, but I am seeing a payphone and no camera, but I’m also seeing an anatomically correct hand and a properly mirrored Champion logo.

The question isn’t how high the resolution of reality is, but how well we can process it is. There is an upper limit to visual acuity, but I’d have to calculate what an arc-minute at 6 meters would be and I’m too lazy right now. Regarding fps, some people can notice artefacts up to 800hz, but I’d think going with 120hz would be ok. Remember, you’ll have to generate stereoscopic output.

First thing coming to mind are the Jews in Ethiopia.

I was wondering if all Alphabet employees aren’t allowed to use ad blockers. Do they really believe that the internet without adblockers is a sane experience?

Whoah, was he always that bloated?

Highly doubt it. So many other browsers on so many platforms (mobile, tv, Auto,…) are built on Chrome and will have this by extension.

That doesn’t look half bad, actually!

You might want to put down that bong.

I had so many arguments with my team lead. He thought comments were an antipattern because that meant the code wasn’t expressive enough.

I understood where he was coming from, but a little hint here and there why the fuck the code is doing what it’s doing would’ve been nice.

Are you me? I got a chance for a gig as enterprise architect and most of the time I have no idea what I’m doing.

Also satisfying: folding two strips like this:

I think it’s crazy that they want to write invoices based on estimations. Why didn’t I ever do that? “Oh yeah, I estimate that I worked about um… 2 weeks on that feature.”

I was pretty impressed by what I saw from Kotlin. Pragmatic and terse, not as academic as Java. Reminds me of the shift away from EJB to Spring. Have been reading up on Rust and thought that with the LVM and WebAssembly (also for the backend), it is perfectly positioned as an alternative. What do you think?
