"Oh What A Night" mode will take things all the way to late December back in '63.

Companies more interested in their own profit than the defence or their country. What a shining example of loyalty, and asking 'not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country'. Corporate greed will be the death of America.

If people trust Google to keep them anonymous (which I wouldn't), apartment complex reviews are gonna get a lot more spicy. As it is, you only get reviews from ex-residents and morons.

Presumably you mean the syntactic sugar we see in Perl and Javascript. Just something less cumbersome than preg_match('/pattern/',$input,$matches,$limit,$flags). And perhaps a regex compile facility like python has, though
PHP I imagine already optimises the case where the pattern is a literal string, so it knows it only has to compile it once
during parsing.

To learn maths properly, you have to enjoy it, love it even.
You need to be stimulated by the curiosity of the unknown,
and the challenge of problem solving. You need to know
the hit your brain gets when you manage something.
It is like this with music: if you want to learn an instrument
over the years to a high degree of skill, you need to love
the instrument and enjoy the many hours of practice it takes.

Remove that positive reward-driven learning, and replace
it by fear-of-failure-driven learning, and as soon as the opportunities
to fail dry up, so does the motivation. So you get the people who
passed maths at 16 and then promptly forgot it all and never
touched it again.

Fixing that fear-of-failure problem by just removing the
fear-of-failure doesn't fix it. If the positive connection isn't
there, and there is no fear of failure, the student simply
won't be motivated to learn.

It's not rocket science. It's simple psychology.
But the people running the education system are
as inept at doing that, and understanding the psychology
of learning, as the kids are getting inept at doing
maths because it's being forced in the wrong way.

In an industry obsessed West, we want the school
system to reliably manufacture units of educated
teenagers who can be put to use by industries
that can't be done by robots and AI. This is tragic.

Rust has a complex and powerful algebraic type system. If used wisely, it can make invalid states impossible to express in the language. Part of the power is the capacity to use the language to make various classes of bugs hard, if not impossible to write. It's not a perfect fit for everything, but I think the 'Rust experiment' is going to happen and we'll see if memory safety and algebraic types are an overall improvement.

That's just under fifty 3.5" floppy discs! We're back, baby!

I asked chatgpt how long it has been part of culture, and it confidently said it's been 26 wonderful years.

A bit of kindness would not go to waste.

This company's response was reported within 24hrs of the story breaking on mass media. Slashdot: stuff that mattered last week if you're lucky.

For example, try understanding why the summary mentions "It requires non-algorithmic understanding" a full three times. It's like asking the square root of a million... no one will ever know.

Because Jeff needs the money to buy another superyacht, and perhaps a few hypercars with the change.

On my 4K Sony TV: Going from SD to 720p makes a noticeable improvement in sharpness; going from 720p to 1080p makes a noticeable improvement in sharpness. I can make out when I am watching 4K, but it is so slight, and 1080p is fine, so my media player (a mac mini) is set to 1080p.

A decade ago, TheOnion touted Apple's new laptop with a scroll clickwheel instead of a keyboard.

And the price! They must think we're flush with cash.
