Is that a thing? I don't seem to be able to do that with 18k+, so if it exists there are only a couple dozen people that can.

Hmm, good catch, I didn't notice when that was published.

That rationale may be a bit revisionist, here is Olin Shivers' take on RMS's justification for elisp's dynamic scoping: "Some context: Common Lisp did not exist (the effort was just getting underway). MIT Scheme did not

Ideally anything that you reject for should also be conveniently baked into the build system so that you can do things like `make validate` before pushing to save yourself the embarrassment.

pre-commit would be a bad idea. You would have to ask all of your developers to install the hook, instead of just installing it on your 'official' repos and it would quickly become a nuisance to developers who liked to create tem

A braggart might construct a humble persona, but would a true braggart maintain such a persona for long? If they could, is there really any basis for calling them a braggart in the first place? Being a braggart seems fundamentally inco

The presentation is pretty good (fairly minimal, which I like), but I think that some autocompletion in those search forms would go a long way. Things like showing autocompletes for town names or strains.

Hmm, it looks like you are right, but I think they can't start actually selling until January 1st. I'm not quite sure there. In Washington it will still be a few more months, since anything sold recreationaly needs to be grown ex

Barring the possibility that you are in a jurisdiction with unusually draconian drug laws, sure it's legal. This site is just telling you how much different strains cost at different businesses where you can legally buy them (current

Nowhere in Washington or Colorado is selling recreational weed legally yet (although many businesses are partially through the licensing/application process). fwiw, Leafly seems a bit easier to use than this site.

Fun graphene fact: As the article mentions, graphene was first isolated at the University of Manchester using sticky tape. For this discovery, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics... making Andre Geim

You have just rediscovered the reason that some people talk about "free software", and some people talk about "open source". The sort of access to source code that is being expected here is really no more than the sort o

That isn't the complaint about this particular article. The complaint about this article is the botched reporting on what happened, and what MITM attacks are. This criticism was defended by pointing out that misinformation from the

Both are bad (although obviously there is a discrepancy in seriousness here) . We should not fail to criticize one because the other also happens.

Camus2 seems to be French. You would not be at risk of making embarrassing mistakes like this if you made an effort to find actual arguments, instead of attempting to criticize the person you are imagining the commenter to be.

The line between criticize and insult is so fine, I can scarcely see it. It's like the line between the ocean and the beach. Can a French person say "The president is illiterate." , as Americans have often said about their

That's a good point. Gamma rays are pretty penetrating though, so unlike visible light there might be some benefit to having a rather thick piece of flesh to absorb as much gamma rays as possible, instead of letting most of them pass
