The last time I heard HR being completely let go was with a fintech company Bolt. Then again, that company was midsized, around 200-500 people or so. For larger companies, it's going to be difficult to even realize that HR is redundant in the first place.

I think that's because it's easier to package a DOSbox program than a Win16 program (it had Win32 edition, but supposedly the installer itself was Win16). According to pcgamingwiki, there's a patch to convert the GOG DOS edition to the Win32 edition.

I have a very vague memory of being able to name streets, so this might be that.

I've never seen a CAS that gives two answers for sqrt. Mathematica doesn't, sympy doesn't, and IIRC Maxima also doesn't.

It'd be great if IDEs can store a stack of functions currently being explored similar to what you get when debugging. Not breadcrumbs, but plain stack. Bonus points if you can store multiple stacks, and give them names according to the context.

We have OnlyOffice as an alternative today. Personally I find the UI quite pleasing. But lately I haven't had any need to use office suite at home so I don't really use it so I have yet to find anything to complain (meanwhile, LibreOffice was horrible, while Office 365 was bearable until you stuff too many things in the equation editor).

Does seamonkey still work on modern internet? Last time I tried it to open Notion, nothing was displayed. Works great on old world stuff though.

From my understanding, the code is MIT, but the model isn't? What consitutes a "Software" anyway? Aren't resources like images, sounds and the likes exempt from it (hence, covered by usual copyright unless separately licensed)? If so, in the same vein, an ML model is not part of "Software". By the way, the same prohibition is repeated on the huggingface model card.

Now I know that grouping J with APL is a mistake.

That's one thing, the other is you find out you were optimizing for the wrong thing, and now it takes more effort and time to reoptimize for the right thing.

Check against FLT_EPSILON. Oh boy.

The reason is floating point precision errors, sure, but that check is not going to solve the problems.

Took a difference of two numbers with large exponents, where the result should be algebraically zero but isn't quite numerically? Then this check fails to catch it. Took another difference of two numbers with very small exponents, where the result is not actually algebraically zero? This check says it's zero.

You can add the guideline, but then people would skip the "I asked" part and post the answer straight away. Apart from the obvious LLMesque structure of most of those bot answers, how could you tell if one has crafted the answer so much that it looks like a genuine human answer?

The point still stands. The human body still isn't going change. That's why insulin pump can afford to have all kinds of rigorous engineering, while web-facing infrastructure on the other hand needs to be able to quickly adapt to changes.

The best thing about gccgo is that it is not burdened with the weirdness of golang's calling convention, so the FFI overhead is basically the same as calling an extern function from C/C++. Take a look at [0] and see how bad golang's cgo calling latency compare to C. gccgo is not listed there but from my own testing it's the same as C/C++.

Might as well post it here since it's open access.

LAPACK is still Fortran, even in OpenBLAS where they only have f2c translated codes but hardly any assembly kernels.

I always install WinCompose specifically for this. Then a Greek letter is as simple as pressing Compose with *, followed by the related Roman letter. Though I still struggle to remember which key maps to which for the letters with no real 1-to-1 mapping (like theta).

But definitely not in the parlance of late 70s when Star Wars premiered.

There's one for github drama, but it's not limited to coding.
