Sorry for getting all political on this but we need to stop associating success only with financial wealth. He is successful at amassing billions of dollars. From my point of view, his success in the grand scheme of things is below zero. Hi

Well if we didn't have an economy that makes us replace everything every year (an exaggeration but you get the point), we wouldn't care about the expensiveness. We already have good enough technology that a phone should last us 10

I've seen this in an older version of NFS on PC. I can't remember which one it was (I think Underground?). The way they always caught up with me when they were behind was insane. I actually tried a bit to look back and see it happ

I dunno, I'd see it as the opposite. The bigger the scale the more cost effective it is to have more redundancy. I can't remember the last time Google search wasn't working or saw news about it being down. The fact that githu

I was thinking the same thing. We need a permission system for websites. Preferably useable on a per-domain basis so I can disable those APIs on adnetworks' domains.

By looking at that I'm thinking that maybe their spamming is the reason for the limit in the first place.

Exactly the problem the author is writing about: because of the way the system works - people are striving to make money, not value.

We could create a political body that is outside any of the countries. Everyone that agrees to be part of it will have to respect its decisions. Once this is setup the world will be united. We can then call it the United Countries or someth

Or 15MB out of those 18MB are the 100 ad libraries bundled in that serve weird/dubious ads at best.

I've been working as a programmer for more than 6 years now. I still think my best work is a graphical library I built in 9th grade in assembly to use with my Pascal programs in MSDOS. mov ax, 13h int 10h ;SCREEN 13 rules!!!

Or maybe they did start with the engineers. Maybe they already have some pretty cool technologies but they realised they don't know how to sell it all so they're looking for business people (yes, yes, very wishful thinking).

I've seen that before and I am so disappointed in the slow motion part. I wish I could see those bullets going one behind the other in a perfect 8 pattern.

I think it's a matter of taste or what you're used to. I find the first two examples clearer than the map/filter ones. Are map and filter more concise? Yeah but only in this case. If you would need to do some processing, they

You don't need to defend it, you know. That was the point the poster was making - that just because he had a subpar experience he shouldn't judge the whole country by it.

Static hosting for $5 a month seems too high. If it would be $1 I might use it. But for $10 a month you can get a good VPS that you can use for any hosting needs (including a gitlab/gogs/whatever instance and a demo of your projec

Sigh, found one with 128GB RAM for $390. I say great, I might actually think about this. Then I look at shipping cost - $2000...

I'm also thinking that in the case of rule 2 or 3 you could also have an oscillation that has a frequency close to or equal to the acquisition frequency.

This looks interesting, I feel it has a lot of potential. It will be useful with a standard library or a way to link easily to 'outside' functions without having to create (insert?) them in each cat that uses them.

Lossy video compression currently does that - it creates key frames at regular intervals and all the frames between (i-frames) are based on the previous key frame. Some codecs have i-frames depend on multiple previous frames. E.g. a 320x240
