Can someone explain why this is religious?

rullelito··on Image Compression with Singular Value Decomposition

I remember doing this in uni 14 years ago. Can't remember it being very efficient.

rullelito··on Vestas unveils solution to end landfill disposal for wind turbine blades

Now think of why so few people know this is a problem with wind turbines.

rullelito··on Japan has changed in important and visible ways

> Any other person who lived in a country for a decade and can't converse in the language would be (rightfully imo) shamed for it.

You haven't been to Sweden then.

rullelito··on Nuclear explosion impact on humans indoors (2022)

Not dropping, placing.

rullelito··on The number of banks willing to do business with the crypto industry is shrinking

And the people who got their bank accounts closed will move to using bitcoin and live their lives? I guess maybe 10 (non-homeless) people can do that. It seems like all of these crypto-bullish scenarios are made up by 20-year-olds without analytical ability and with very little adult life experience.

rullelito··on I was unwittingly signed up for Amazon Music Unlimited

Even better, songs just randomly disappear and I don't know which ones. I just see "unavailable" unnamed songs in my playlists.

rullelito··on Resume over HTTP Response Headers

What is this?

The name makes this algorithm so underwhelming, once you see what it actually is.

rullelito··on Elizabeth Holmes is sentenced to more than 11 years for fraud

Elon says hi.

rullelito··on Meta fires a software engineer two days after he relocated from India to Canada

A (vesting) cliff doesn't mean you have to wait 1 year for the vesting, it means that your vesting significantly reduces after 1 year.

rullelito··on How to prove you know a secret without giving it away

I guess SHA1 isn't cool anymore?

rullelito··on Burrows–Wheeler Transform

Wiki mentions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffix_array is used for performance.

rullelito··on U.S. appeals court rejects big tech’s right to regulate online speech

You should try to get out of your filter bubble more often.

rullelito··on It's been a little over 3 weeks since Google randomly sent me $249,999

lol God no

rullelito··on For 110 years, climate change has been in the news

The same with "we only have 10 years left". After 30 years this doesn't carry much weight.

rullelito··on What I learned working with a senior engineer as a new grad

IMO too many coders can't write high quality code even if they tried. So when they write code that they feel is good enough, it rarely is good enough objectively.

rullelito··on Engineering Festivus

Awesome idea, but not sure if these are funny though :/

rullelito··on The layoffs at Klarna

Then a lot more poor people could get insurance, not very 'merican.

rullelito··on Germany sees shift in sentiment toward atomic energy

Just embarrasing that it had to go this far before Germans realized.

rullelito··on Germany sees shift in sentiment toward atomic energy

Also curious if the sentiment changed at all after 2014 (Crimea).

rullelito··on Germany sees shift in sentiment toward atomic energy

Isn't this already how it works?

rullelito··on There aren't that many uses for blockchains

Bitcoin can't make up for lack of trust in your business partner.
