For zero-crossings my first thought would be either bullet (•), to not break the visual flow; or multiply (×), since it's at least vertically centered

In C++, any concurrent filesystem access is undefined behavior (which seems pretty crazy to me) https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/filesystem > The behavior is undefined if the calls to functions in this library

If you think "→" misrepresents the meaning of "->", then certainly "->" also misrepresents the meaning of a semantic arrow "→". The set of symbols in 7-bit ASCII is somewhat arbitrary after all.

I predict we start seeing "Login with 1Password" buttons on random websites next to the google and facebook buttons. I also predict it never catches on.

I know that PioSolver is not a "poker AI" per se, but the article seems to say it can tell you what to do based on the table situation. Has anyone tried pitting pro players against PioSolver?

Definitely embellished. If you try to eat a live cat, it will scratch your face beyond recognition.

Wow you're right, that's quite a manifesto. Almost as provocative as this quicksort manifesto. https://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~mjw03/PersonalWebpage/pdfs/quickso...

I mean... no, the success of this burgeoning asset class does not depend on me convincing a single HN poster in a long-buried thread. And there never was a "manifesto", at least not one that I've ever heard about. But thanks

Bitcoin is a technology that has various use cases. Just because some person gives a sales pitch, doesn't mean that sales pitch becomes the benchmark by which to measure the technology. Bitcoin is decentralized and does not have one st

People give sales pitches for lots of things. You don't have to listen to them. > Are you sure about this? Whether I'm sure or not... I think everyone should be given the choice.

Crypto isn't intented to remove middlemen. It's intended to give people the choice of who to trust. People can choose to trust an exchange, or to self-custody, and deal with the consequences in either direction. If I choose to sel

Many BTC addresses are owned by companies (e.g. exchanges, trusts, etc) and not by individuals. The Gini coefficient only looks at individuals, not companies. In other words, it doesn't treat Google as a person and compare its wealth d

I just think it's weird that I can't have an LTS OS with non-LTS userland apps. But I guess I have to accept that. Snap is a nonstarter for me for many reasons. Startup speed is important for shell pipelines, and also it's in

Are there any apps other than terminals that don't use ctrl-c? I can forgive that in a terminal app because it conflicts with SIGINT, but it would be very weird if a normal app like vscode did it differently.

The name "testing" kind of turns me off tbh. I want my OS to boot reliably. I don't want to be a test subject. > How does scoop solve the problem? It skips intermediate packaging steps and goes directly to the source. e.g.

by howdydoo 5y ago
Scoop installs directly from the first-party source, so you only need to write a package once per app, instead of once per version of each app. Are there any distros that work like that?

I heard rumors long ago that Arch has occasional stability problems caused by updates. Is that still true these days? I guess that's ironic to hear considering my original question, but I appreciate a different update cadence between t

This is a little off-topic, but I've been wanting to switch from Windows to Linux and the one thing stopping me is the lack of a good package manager. WAIT, let me explain. On Windows, you can just `scoop install ripgrep fzf jq` and yo

B2 itself is not $5 a month. That $5 service is a separate consumer-focused "unlimited" backup service from the same company. B2 just charges for storage and transfer. Yeah, the author was rambling a bit.
