Shrinkwrap is ridiculous. I'm expected to go look at every resolved dependency and individually add them if I want to update or not? No thanks; one app at my workplace defines ~50 top level dependencies, but this balloons to almost 130

I think it's not bashing of npm specifically so much as it is the node ecosystem it serves and depends on; at least in my mind it's difficult to separate node from npm. That said, for what it's trying to do (read a list of de

It was actually two years ago, if someone wants to correct the title. Edit: I clearly can't read. Upvoted you both, thanks.

You can't, only its application. Genicap's patent does cover application in software though.

Is there a meaningful performance difference between ZFS in FreeBSD or Illumos and ZoL? Edit: this is a legitimate question. I know previously Linux-related ZFS efforts used FUSE, but ZoL is native. I assume performance should be roughly eq

I think this is overstating the risk a little bit. Looking at the video linked elsewhere, this was run in a bedroom on the second or even third floor of a single-family residence. He mentions not being able to detect x-rays more than 35ft f

I was wondering about the 1.3/100m number and found this: http://www-fars.nhtsa.dot.gov/Main/index.aspx It has data from 1994 to 2014, including this plus several other statistics. In particular, it looks like the

Unless you're OK with breaking compatibility with all existing Windows apps - most of which you have no control over - rewriting the kernel as a POSIX thing is going to look a lot like 'bash on windows' in reverse. You'd

I don't know the answer to that, or about Roth 401(k) plans, but I think there are a lot of people overall with one or the other. I think that threatening either would have an effect similar to threats on Social Security, without the j

This doesn't make sense to me. The entire point of Roth is that you pay tax up front, and then the retirement proceeds are tax-free (assuming you withdraw after proper age, etc.). To then go and tax these withdrawals is basically neute

I don't know if it's universal, but it's at least extremely common for there to be a psych eval prior to receiving a badge. Not sure why the parent thinks otherwise.

Why are you being such a jackass with your replies? You asked an ambiguous question not really relevant to the article, people are trying to answer, and you're attacking their answers for not addressing the exact meaning of your questi

This wasn't exactly a fuel economy issue, it was more of an emissions cheat. I get great economy out of my Golf - higher than advertised. I agree that if they'd done the right thing w/ emissions that economy might have been w

"Owners will have two years to decide whether to sell back vehicles..." So the rumor is I can drive my affected Golf TDI for ~2 more years, and then get compensated @9/2015 value plus up to $5k on top of that? Honestly, that&

I refrained from commenting earlier but I've upvoted you because something about that thin font + red + gray background was very difficult to look at, i.e. literally my eyes were moving elsewhere involuntarily. I'd be interested t

I think you can also just uninstall KB3035583 and then 'hide' it from windows update.

This blog post, and my reply, was about the powder. 1.6 introduces soy as a major component for the first time, which is what I was trying to say earlier. Edit: to clarify, 2.0 is a prepared soy-protein-based drink which, until now, had a v

I was putting two heaping tbsp of cocoa powder per bag + a pinch of extra sucralose - the 1.4/1.5 soylent only had enough sucralose to offset the bitterness of some other ingredients, so adding 2+ tbsp of cocoa without something to bal

I quit buying the powder earlier this year, but never considered the drink. I don't want to be tossing a bunch of empty bottles or paying to ship a liquid; it's honestly a little weird that they are prioritizing all this sustainab

This is the first version of the Soylent powder that has any appreciable amount of soy in it. Prior versions used soy lecithin as an emulsifier, but had no other soy.

It's surprising that the referendum will pass with a simple majority, though. This seems like a 2/3 or 3/4 kind of decision to me.

This seems like a good example of why you should go through the registration though. Because now they are going to have to use the courts to resolve the situation; presumably (I hope?), if they'd registered, a new registration applicat

Why can't they offer stock Ubuntu + the monitoring stuff as a .deb? They can put up lots of instructions about how to enable panel integration. They could run their own apt repository too, which should satisfy anyone who wants to spin

How do blood transfusions actually work? I assumed it was a temporary thing to allow your own blood cell generation to make up for whatever you lost; that transfused blood would cycle out normally or actually eventually be rejected as forei

I was going on the public profile as well. The profile notes that Mr. Niedermeyer works in the PR and Communications industry, and the bio blurb says he has written Op/Ed for several major publications. His listed work history is at TT
