Tesla still got a bunch of scientific cred, more than Edison actually. Edison is known as the inventor of a consumer product, Tesla got the unit of magnetic flux named after him.
Actually, the comic names Lorentz, Minkowski, Hilbert, which aren't household names like Einstein, but anyone who knows anything about relativity will still know their names and what they contributed. Who cares about being known as "some kinda smart feller" by a billion people if none of them actually know why you're seen as smart. To them you're about as significant as a character in a newspaper comic; an easy reference to make to show they've read a newspaper once.
Riley's emotions aren't controlling her, they're more like the punishment/reward mechanisms of her brain. Riley decides to do something and then gets sad afterwards, or happy, or angry. It's only when her emotions are out of balance that she is overwhelmed by sadness and loses control. I do agree that the perspective of the film makes it seem like the emotions are calling the shots and we don't see enough external emotional regulation, like from her parents. I'd also have liked it if Riley herself could have turned the ship somehow at the end. I think having the emotions control the memories was a mistake, they should've been separate mechanisms, maybe feeding into each other at most. That way Riley could recall happy memories by herself and influence her emotions. But that is a bit of emotional regulation that a child might not have learned yet.
Torrents are already very hard to block. You don't actually need a tracker, because all modern torrent clients support DHT (distributed hash table). You only need some way to get the initial hash for a torrent, so that's where trackers are still useful, but once you're connected to the swarm, you can only be blocked if the entire swarm is blocked.
Tracking though... It's too easy to get IP addresses for the entire swarm and I don't see how you could ever fix that. Tor doesn't really solve that issue either, it just moves it to places where you won't get in legal trouble or to people who don't mind getting in legal trouble, a bit like VPN providers.
Finally somewhere my knowledge of anime can improve the world! The character is Yotsuba and her hair is green, not blue, so one color for both the tree and her hair is absolutely fine!
It is weird that Z is considered a bigger letter than A. If triangle pointing down means descending order, it would be Z-A. Ergo, it must mean ascending order and small filesizes are on top just like small letters are on top.
I always remember those as "knife" and "cup", but you have to know that I use my cups the wrong way around.
When you have two things AB on a table and you come in with a knife or cup (NB: upside down) from above, the knife will separate them "A or B" while the cup will catch them together like a pair of angry wasps "A and B".
That's what the Egyptians did. When the Israelites spared the Midianite women, Moses got angry at them and commanded them to kill everyone. Except the virgin girls, probably for completely wholesome Christian reasons.
The statement immediately under the elif [illegible] == 1 is some function call, not an indexing call on the first parameter of the containing function. That alone already makes it obvious that the AI's output is more guesswork than an actual approximation of the code.
Not really true though. Computers are still better at math. They're even pretty good at coding, if you count compiling high-level code into assembly as coding.
But in this case we built a language machine to respond to language with more language. Of course it's not going to do great at other stuff.
1990: Mega Drive, SNES, Neo Geo
1994: Sega Saturn, Playstation
1996: N64
1998: Dreamcast
2000: PS2
2001: GameCube, Xbox
2005: Xbox 360
2006: PS3, Wii
Those are all consoles normally considered retro, except for maybe that last gen. I think the era that's missing a term is 2005-2015, but there's actually not a whole lot happening in those years. PS4 and Xbox One? The age of cheap gaming PCs?
My Gimp workflow heavily involves Inkscape for that reason. If you need shapes, curves, text, moving stuff around, even scaling and rotating, Inkscape is much better. It's only when I actually have to edit something in an existing image that I open Gimp. And sometimes when I need a complicated guideline, I'll create it in Inkscape, export to png, import in Gimp, just so I don't have to use the shape tool.
It is hard by the end, but it gradually eases you into it. It also makes failure very comfortable, just spawns you right back, takes very little time at all, so there's some levels where I just brute-forced my way through with a hundred deaths. But I did hit all necessary jumps for real and next time I was there, I did it first try. Going back to 1a after clearing 7b really felt like when a lvl 100 wizard returns to the starting area, but my in-game power didn't change this time, it was all pure skill and it felt amazing.
