I've been using Vimium since I use firefox (for around 3 years). It's annoying that Vimium can no longer control the browser UI and is limited on some pages (New Tab, mozilla.org) but this is necessary for security.

Surely a Dyson sphere would not emit what we naively expect. Look at us, we can speculate about these and even try to spot them but are millennia away from building one. What if the external shield of the sphere would be artificially heated

What does low tech means in this context ? It's still a computer, with complication on top: solar panels, battery. All the hardware they use requires some energy to be built, the network consumes a lot of energy too. How does this comp

Most ? I mean, I have a single outdoor light, above my front door.

The server could hash again the hashed password sent by the client. Especially if the client use an insecure hash algorithm (no secret salt for example). I feel like if the client always hash passwords as soon as it is typed (the javascript

The actual reason is to make you practice your password so you don't forget. You might scratch your finger or the sensor might get dirty or break. Biometric in (current) phones is convenience, not security.

2020. They just make a virtual 3D model of you from all the data they collected and stream it directly to the device. 2022. They can now engrave fingertips on paper.

Printf is type-safe in Haskell and OCaml. The format-string is not a regular string, it must be literal and is type-checked specifically.

* on Ethereum There are probably much more content added to IPFS, zeronet and other projects I don't know about. (yes we can host websites on IPFS: https://docs.ipfs.io/concepts/dnslink/ )

I always try to write a comment that say "why" the following code is needed or what concept it implements rather than what it does in details. I would do // We allow scrolling in two directions hScrollBar = new

One of the things that hype me about IPFS is that URIs can't change. Resources are immutable and the URI is only the hash of the content. https://ipfs.io/

Why do they still think we want tracking cookies ? The ad industry should prepare for a future with no tracking instead of trying to survive with ever shadier tricks, IMO. This won't work: - browsers other than Chrome will say "no

It's annoying that it doesn't highlight syntax errors. It's even worse than that because it's intercepting the syntax error for logging purpose and loses any informations. You get unrelated errors in the app's code.

Hacker News is not readable for me. Text is too small, the button for folding the comment tree is impossible to hit on mobile. I'm reading this website with 150% zoom and the browser window that is 50% the width of my screen. Nevermind

The ownership is part of the type-checker and disappears at runtime. At runtime (and in memory) you are left with C's memory model (pointers but also can nest records) and with the other things you mention.

The "lisp" section seems to conflate "object graphs" and object-oriented programming. It talks about classes while talking about garbage collection and before mentioning "object-oriented". Lisps, Haskell and ML

Median != mean. Multiplying it literally means "The value of this particular house I know nothing about times 66 millions".

GC traverses graph, linker traverses graph. GC = linker. I disagree. Also if that's the description of a "smart linker", what is a "dumb linker" then?

For me, the main benefit is I can choose where I live. There is not many developer positions available outside of big cities, with WFH I get to choose both where and for which company I work. Living in a big city was a bad experience for

Composting is nice if there is a dedicated collection of it (like in some part of Italy) and if it is actually used (eg. not landfill/burned anyway). Doing compost at home for yourself is not working in general because most people live
