That was already a thing, for a while. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=9042.0 Can't tell if they are "honest" people who closed shop when they realized how bad their idea was, or if they just threw sm

Are you guys for real? This is ridiculous! I've been on the old Nexus 5 for ages. I think, if we aren't going to get Android 7, then maybe it will be time for me to switch to one of the fringe mobile operating systems. I get about

Wow, that is brilliant! But it's not on the market, you say? Well, it looks like something I can draft and print. I won't be competing with them, that would be rude, but I must have this for myself. They should remove the unrespon

I'm partial to Compojure API ( https://github.com/metosin/compojure-api ). The thing I like about it, is at the point where I've just scaffolded a barely functional prototype, I also have a spec and interactive

Wow! I wonder if we could we potentially infer color from black & white photos of celestial objects, by this technique? Maybe it could be combined with the adaptive optics that attempt to cancel stuff like this?

How many security researchers have squeaky-clean records, though? In hindsight, gathering all of the hackers under one of the most sophisticated, militant, intelligence systems in the world, might not be a great idea.

Gun control is a completely different kettle of fish, because it is so unlikely for someone to recover from an attack; these aren't beanbag shotguns we're talking about. Also, there are no procedures that you can follow to prevent

Today I learned a new word from spellcheck. Stenography refers to taking notes or writing in shorthand form, not crypto.

So, does this only work when everyone is only on both Windows and MSN? That would be a showstopper for most groups.

Perhaps to asses its value to users, before building the production version? S3 is a quick and simple solution.

Oh no, I've encountered this many times already. Sometimes, double-wrapping the archive satisfies a system that isn't recursively extracting archives. :/ Shall we try stenography next?

In the past, I was a strong proponent of digital networked voting systems in general, as a means to bring us closer to direct democracy. I had hoped that we would be able to vote on specific issues, continuously, with little ceremony or fri

Algebra can be taught to young children by making it concrete. Call the variable boxes, and give them actual boxes to represent them. Color code the units, and don't allow them to mix colors. Tell them to play fair: "You may only

And why is so much money getting dumped into these constructs? AFAIK, it is speculators that are inflating that economy, not the coin devs hyping it as an investment. If it's any consolation, money doesn't disappear, it just becom

Sure it is, it is a completely different thing. The only way I could see thoughts and concepts being property, is if human law defines reality. But it does not, it just tries it's best to model an idealized version of reality. This rea

They are just exploring the solution space, with minimal baggage to hold them back. The real problem, is that people are trying to make a living off of something that is still experimental / alpha level maturity. Seems like the people

Another full stack dev here, I would also love to help with something meaningful. Feel free to PM me in the future, if I can be of assistance. Remote, from Canada, Pacific timezone.

The original link took me straight to the article, not to a list of articles with that tag. It was a single article, with the URL of a tag. Anyway, I didn't mean to argue. Have a nice evening :)

by devrandomguy 9y ago
Redirect the tag to the particular article that it currently references. Only show users the "correct" url that you want them to use in the future (history, bookmarks, sharing, etc). https://support.google.com/webm

by devrandomguy 9y ago
Please set up a redirect to the canonical URL. This is helpful to third party systems that interact with your site, such as search engines and content sharing sites. It also eliminates the issue you raised.

Gah, now I wish I did. I've been meaning to start blogging for years. I had a lot of fun in a drink-n-chat site a while ago, but the environment isn't quite right for long conversations. An opportunity, I suppose...

If they did everything right, then surely their prototype would have cost less than a billion dollars?

As is their right, and mine. If their way does not work out, then they are welcome to join me for a discussion on post-corporate philosophy. BYOB.

No! I don't create for money, I create for the sake of creation! It is a sacred act to me! No sarcasm, no joke. I acquire money in order to create more effectively, I don't create in order to gather the most money of us all. This

The same is true of bitcoin transaction fees, no? Miners set the minimum fee that they will accept, and people tack a fee onto a transaction, large enough that a miner will likely process it.

If by "real production" you mean "implemented profitably by classic corporations", then you're not really getting the crypto-anarchist philosophy that espouses the view that blockchains are a generally useful tool.
