That's true, but at some point, since late 80s and early 90s, this shifted radically in Europe. Can't speak for northern America though.

To a western ear the whole article sounds just weird. As if everyone in India is supposed to get married, or else.

Actually, this is a great idea. I also would like the idea to compile some quotes and puns into binaries.

I'm not sure whatever for they need such nanowire synapses, because in real/wet neural networks the timings of neural firing, delay and latency is as essential as the synapse itself. How fast a wet synapse works is modulated, some are isolated from modulation. I don't think a new synthetic synapse being 30.000x faster will do anything good if the whole system is not up to par with a wet neural system.

Well isn't that a shame.

Next year: streaming services are being aquired to kill competition, or pushed into bankruptcy!

And now we know the 787 runs on Windows.

It's the use cases that make a difference.

Seriously, what's the deal? Just use aliases instead, if you're fond of using egrep or fgrep yourself. Refactoring and re-deploying scripts should not be a big issue in any environment either these days. Admin/Devs are lazy, yes. But THAT is the least of their problems maintaining shell scripts.

I don't know if that's a bargain after the shortage and pricing disaster in the recent years. Looks like I am going to skip another 10 years until I buy anything with Nvidia on it.

Sounds good. But first, switch to IPv6 and make all broadband Internet access symmetrical, and nationalize all ISPs.

When a huge company does something that feels like it could be illegal, it probably is.

Big surprise. It wasn't viable since the start, imho.

I would not go that far saying I won't buy AMD ever again, but if Microsoft has a foot in the door inside my systems in form of creepware like Pluton it is there for keeping the door open.

Does the 7000 series have Pluton? Can't find specifics anywhere.

I am amazed that Epic is not mentioned even once. Epic does all that: bribes developers, bribes players by giving away games for free each Thursday, even AAA's now and then. The Super Power that Epic has is their Unreal Engine Ecosystem. And all the money. And that is it!

Very often the person "more powerful than you" in question is a closeted, or unknowing, sociopath, or psychopath (I am using the terms by definition, no judgement) and your opinion still might be interpreted as an attack, regardless of reasoning. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/08/the-science-behind-why-so-ma... It is very difficult to work with such people. So, be extra careful when challenging anything that is on the agenda of a sociopath boss. You've been warned.

When interests align harmony ensues! Isn't that wonderful? That's when everybody wins!

I'm not sure you can compare code commits to jokes (occasionally such is the case), but I wonder what the thought process is when a maintainer decides to do exactly that and declines a fix that fixes a problem wrong.

> No.

Of course it is! It's up to the maintainer to decide! It's their problem, like, literally! Of course, this should not be an invitation to blindly commit and push dumb fixes, even if they solve some problem. But generally:

> If that fix makes that worse

... then it's up to the maintainer to politely ask the contributor to make the fix better, or make it better themselves, or bugger off, meaning, then ...

> declining is absolutely reasonable.

I agree.

I see it as an attempt to bring a perpetual and painful discussion to an end. I agree, would like to add that:

The FFF rule also applies to submission of fixes to maintainers. If it fixes a problem, but not the way you like it to, you can go and FFF.

If it's "not good enough" then it's the maintainers problem.

I mean, come on, somebody fixed it for you and when you as the maintainer complain about the quality of the fix then the FFF rule applies also!

I also have nothing against occasional little personal forks, but methinks that keeping track of the issues upon each update could be painful.

Yeah, I wonder what exactly they mean by external.

Wait a minute. Is the side-loaded page content also included - ads, gifs, pictures from 2nd und 3rd party domains for example?

The same "discovery" happened to me half a year ago. Suddenly my queue contained just awful music at some point and I have googled the artists and found nothing. I decided to ditch Spotify altogether, because not only was I paying premium for this shit, but also it seems that Spotify doesn't really have the situation under control: https://www.rollingstone.com/pro/news/spotify-bot-takedowns-...

"Now we are doing video streaming and quantum gaming, streaming video games through the atoms. We basically encoded the video game onto a signal and detected it with the atoms. The output is fed directly into the TV.”

I'm sorry, what? Quantum Gaming? Ridiculous.

The article grossly simplifies what is happening in the experiment and completely ignores the physical properties of EM-waves and polarizing materials. And there seems to be a misconception of how the polarizing filters relate to each other. Don't bother reading, just open a physics book from college or something.

Being a DTAG customer is not that great in Germany either.

I see no contradiction to my statement at all: "Zero was introduced to reason about the question of what remains if you have n sheep and give all of them away".

People invented mathematics to be able to explain things happening in nature, and refined their mathematical devices even further to even explain the nature of mathematics itself. Numbers did not exist before people invented them as sets for different tools to calculate stuff, as you have so eloquently put. To argue that "Real numbers very definitely were not known to humans until the 1700s" means nothing else than these numbers were not invented yet. Um, what is your point exactly?

'Zero' was most likely invented for the same reason Complex Numbers were invented: to make some rare cases of contradictory mathematical formulas work. Zero is more a mathematical device than a number.
