I don't like him personally, but David Simon on AI is the final word on the subject.

How great was Tom Lehrer? In 2020, he moved his entire catalog into the public domain because he felt he'd made more than enough money off of it.

Best and most accurate quote I've read all year:

"While I am a professional software engineer and I have worked in the aerospace industry, that doesn’t mean that I understand what I’m doing."

Absolute mad lad for translating FORTRAN to C#
I found a textbook that has the source code for a flight simulator included. The only problem: it's written in Fortran. Check out my article on the process of translating it into C# using Unity3D

Remember your indices, kids!

Two tables with ~1M rows each.
Just made this simple SQL go from 3.2 seconds to 17 milliseconds by introducing indexes..

`select m.* from matches m inner join configuration c on m.configuration_id = c.id where c.batch_id = order by m.date desc;`

I recently learned that the reactor#2 of Chernobyl got a new confinement installed in 2016 over the existing sarcophagus/elephant's foot

Yes, to suspire is to utter a deep sigh. It’s all about breath, as are ‘inspire’ (to breathe life into an idea/person), ‘expire’ (breathe out), ‘perspire’ (to breathe through), ‘conspire’ (to breathe together), and ‘spirit’, because the ancients believed the spirit was breathed into the body.
Is that like perspiring? so can you suspire?
