Apologies in advance if this sounds excessively rude, but I'm not asking for anything as there's noone to actually ask to , I'm asking about that. That distinction matters, since I personally find it easier to derive ent

So, the biggest question I have about all this eminently theoretical physics video thing is, has anyone ever managed to experimentally demonstrate you can __voluntarily__ bend the brane our reality resides on by any measurable amount, a

Here's an idea: - Move all documents to a simple doc server like idk Alfresco - Any any all single read requests to this server are authorized after biometric confirmation of any parties involved, which are then added to the users&#x27

OK, given the sudden surge in anonymous morons unable to follow basic prompts for civil discussion and the refusal of the implementors to do something about the mounting garbage on this site, I'm adding hacker news to my block list. I&

It's oddly infuriating to read this from a "developing" (ie poor) country. We get permanently schooled by all this rich countries who ransacked both our and later their natural resources in order to build themselves into pros

Yeah... About that... I mean... no. When the possible death of thousands upon thousands of people is on the line, your proposal better be ironclad and well equipped to stand many lines of attack if you want it to be taken seriously. "H

Twitter has degenerated into one of the least friendly things to build an app for. I've had a better dev experience with Gab, ffs. Not only that, but also their community building and tending is abysmal too, so your app will end up use

Ah yes, Sargon of Akkad, of "I wouldn't even rape you" fame. If anything, I'm pretty glad the absolutely despicable thing is no longer funded through them and kinda makes me want to contribute more money to Patreon someh

I still remember when Clang bringing LLVM along was seen as SO OUT THERE and I'm just mentioning it because I find it weird to be old enough to see fads in system languages come and start to go. Just curious, do you have any examples o

Right, but the - operator requires prior knowledge that the search engine understands boolean operators and that a -b is an alias of "listings with a on their text that don't have b in their text too" whereas "a without

While I'm sure this is A Hard Problem to solve by NLP I for whatever reason was under the impression that this is trivial to special-case. As in, "X without Y" sounds like a common enough use case to have it's own little

Silkworms are killed in the production of silk whereas simply milking the goats would let a kind of continuous process happen. It would still need to be untangled and spun which is a pain, but that would hopefully make for a better industri

Really well reasoned parting letter. Hoping he'll fare better doing Reason instead. I've tried and haven't had much luck selling it to our local Powers That Be but I understand it's a bit of a nerdy, tough sale.

On a similar vein, my company has had a great experience with Epidemic Sound for their videos and random multimedia. You pay them monthly, and any music you use during your subscription is usable in that finished piece of yours forever.

As a provider, supporting old tech stacks sucks. They're clunky, have all kinds of warts and annoying workarounds for stuff that got improved in future versions. As a consumer, being told my light bulbs won't work with the new fix

Nothing prevents you from chucking https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/ on a random page tho. Is the value add the fact that there's a server component behind it?

What is Theia better for than Visual Studio code or Atom or any other of this new trend of build-a-bear IDEs? I like Eclipse and the Eclipse foundation (hey, they rocked the whole IDE game back then, and make a decent one nowadays too), b

If your config files contain anything that could not be expressed as an OS variable, that's a maintenance nightmare right there. Eventually some user somewhere is going to jam entire mini programs in there and then complain when his ca

Oil shell is fascinating to me. I haven't had a chance to really use it other than for toying with it given my primary work is all done on Windows, but the development effort and the very well explained reasoning behind every little

Is it not though? By exploiting the conditions to evaluate to true == $CaseValue you're subverting the expectation that the choices all rely on a single variable, all the while breaking fallthrough and default.

Pretty cool! One thing that would massively improve this is if they were written as singular standalone blocks instead of sparse collections of snippets; I'd like to be able to grab, say, "make an element draggable" and toss

I don't think I get the point? It's even more convoluted than haml, which is already pretty well established, and the syntax is subtly different enough that I can see myself tripping repeatedly while trying to write this. Is this

Been wondering about this for a while... How does one "graduate" a notebook to an actual program on a server? Is there an actual standard procedure for that? I'm pretty sure that if your notebook is big enough to debug what&#
