> Few here understand.

Sounds like a catch phrase from an "alternative" news site or a thing a member of a religious cult would say.

Like maybe if it was cited properly...

Nice burn.

Joking aside, I agree. There is so many things you could achieve while successfully impersonating someone. Seems like the best you can do in academia is to ruin someone's career. In this case it seemed fortunately "harmless" though.

Wait... Are you a chatbot?

Exactly.

I struggle hard with this topic. I feel like being here, perceiving the world. Yet, if I simulated every molecule of my body, the simulated me would seemingly "feel" the same things, think likewise.

It feels there is more to "me" than what would be of the _simulated_ me. On the other hand I see no way to prove so.

Have you ever used pornhub?

That's like monopolies, right? The ultra right argument is that they are harmless, because it's easy to disrupt them.

In practice that hardly works, due to nasty business practices and lobbying.

On the other hand this argument works better for scientific progress. Yes, company selling like insulin shots might not invest into curing diabetes. That does not mean that there is not plenty of researchers looking into that issue, potentially disrupting the market.

I just hate that this gets framed in a way that is just a step from conspiracy theories.

Facts? What does a shitty US health care system have to do with "corporations not developing cure for HIV to avoid losing profit" kind of theories.

We need to stop tolerating these kind of tinfoil conspiration theories. It does not even make economical sense.

If you are the first to come up with a cure for that disease you will make huge profit compare to the rest of the industry. Especially if the cure involves coming up with a vaccine or a personalized treatment. Thats like the sustainable subscription wet dream of software companies.

Sure. We got a set of CI/CD tools which, applied to a new repo started by a colleague, did not work.

Anyone else here whose script actually broke due to this change?

Such a great reply. It goes without saying that I do not intend to force programming upon my kids. It's more about me being worried that nowadays it's much harder for them to just start by themselves as I did.

When I was writing my first lines of code there was no distraction in form of social media apps and the technologies were pretty simple and accessible.

If you now aim to create a webpage which you say least resemble what you are used to seeing on the web, uploading an HTML to a popular free hosting sites is just not enough.

I would like my kids find their way to whatever they like to do. I am worried though that they will waste their time even worse than I did back in my days, because the web is more addictive and getting involved in creating it is much more difficult then ever before.

Interesting, since it's pretty difficult task to begin with. What do you do now?

My grandpa lived in a building with unnecessarily expensive local coal heating. They never plugged into a heat pipe from a nearby powerplant, because the neighbor, who operated the local boiler always vetoed the decision. Why? Because he was being payed for operating it.

This is pretty similar situation. Incentives of the miners are not aligned with those of the users.

I am so excited about rust slowly sneaking into the C territory. I am looking forward for the point in time when it is going to get to Linux kernel.

I kind of hope this is a satirical account. If not, please consider reaching out for a help! I am sure you can do much better than you might currently think ♥

I like the algo, yet the graphics made it hard to read the board for me. The black pieces are a bit hard to distinguish. Cost me two pieces.

Have you mentioned how sparse the autopilot claimed column is? And how even sparser the verified autopilot is? Seems like the authors are trying to inflate the total numbers very hard.

Well sure, wildcards still count as matching. The ability to use named params instead could clean some codebases a bit.

Also I get that there are reasons for the Map matching not being present in Scala. All I am saying is that it's cool that it's in python.

Exciting! Especially I like the named attribute matching [1] and dict matching [2]. Scala does not have that. If you have a case (data) class with 13 parameters, you need to match on all of them, instead of doing `MyClass(param=value)`. Similarly you can not easily pattern match on `Map` (`dict`).

One thing which I am missing though is matching on f-strings. Such a powerful feature in Scala.

Cool. If I had to choose I'd wrap the simple py implementation in a PL/Python UDF.

Did you mean EU? Ukraine is on the European continent.

I like how living in the close proximity to the city center might seem somehow special from the perspective of suburban oriented culture even though it is usually a norm in Europe.

Well, the is still C and other languages if you do not like complicated high level features.

I hate to see original recipes bastardized by sugar and artificial coloring marketed towards kids and sold in malls.

Has it ever been in the history like that? It's more like the hardware will get both more sophisticated and cheeper.

This is how we should maintain and pass laws. To see which legislator proposed / amended which paragraph etc.

Might be interesting to see the authors of the tax law etc.

I feel like AI vs AGI is going to be the next P vs NP kind of issue.

People will mostly realize that the concept of "general" intelligence is flawed yet we might strive to get to it indefinitely.

They did pick different sensors and approach to world mapping in the first place. How is it just a cultural and regulator thing?

Could you please provide some resources on how the unified memory model supposedly works? Why is it a "myth"?
