> due to some quirk of evolution, Omega-3, -6, and -9 are the ones biological life uses most. As far as I can tell, there's no specific reason they're all multiples of 3. Probably just a coincidence. This curio bothered me as w

Idris 2 ruined it for me. Scientifically, it's cool of course, dependent linear types yaay. Socially though, incompatible rewrite in Scheme should've been a separate project IMO; but since it's called "Idris 2", com

CVE scoring is parasocial activity. Hence so much drama. Similarly to SemVer, the good-faith grader attempts to convey a sizeable blob of knowledge... by compressing it into a one-dimensional number. No matter the scoring formula, this step

Hey @NamecheapCEO, Ukrainian here. Thanks a lot! Please notice, there needs to be some sort of verification mechanism. The russians have already figured out that simply setting "Ukraine" in profile data a) works b) might suffice t

I'll disagree. It seems you and GP have been lucky enough to never stumble on videos with #dislikes > #likes, for whatever (usually well-deserved) reasons. I'd seen some; wishing I could unsee those.

To a non-aussie, the polititian speak is pretty darn bizarre. On the first read, I thought you were describing a physical assault...

I might be a counterexample to your perceived overlap. 3 points: * It seems that, as a species, we have deep issues rooted in our tribal upbringing. Reaching a global actionable consensus seems as hard (if not harder) as colonizing another

Good points. But dare you doubt human's destruction ability?.. Note also, that destroying just the thin tender habitable layer of Earth would suffice.

I'll cross-post instead of guessing. Another comment here: > URVs were quoted in cruzeiros reais and its intrinsic value was pegged to three price indices and had a fixed parity of 1-to-1 to the daily U.S. dollar exchange rate. [0]

This is exactly my grudge with boilerplate. Code is being read much more often than written. I don't care if you hand-coded all those buckets of accessors, or your IDE has generated them -- that's irrelevant to that they're s

> the claim that a lot of people have it turned off is demonstrably false Not unless you've taken a concrete definition for "a lot of people". Even 1% of internet users is still a lot of people IMO. Like, on the order of

I guess you mean The Great Oxygen Extinction Event (2.4-2.0 Ga). In that case, it's presumed it was indeed a massive extinction (but no data to quantify any % over, due to no microbial fossils preserved). ... But for a different reason

I cannot quite exclude another idea, that the age-related framing of the mistake is simply a cover-up for a much more prosaic error, perhaps of embarassing quality. "Cultural differences" is an easy scapegoat.

Nope. That assumption is wrong. > The system programming was not carried out in the UK, and in the country where it was performed the title Miss was used for a child, and Ms for an adult female, hence the error.

... which should be taken as a sign of Signal's technical excellence. Just consider: if you're looking for privacy-respecting, actually secure, reviewed, audited and tested to bone tech -- short of replicating the work yourself, w

You can. It's not even hard to work out: if we take "charging" to mean "buying energy for ₿", then "discharging" ought to mean "buying ₿ for energy". If you think about it, both of those describe

I didn't say it's unacceptable, neither meant that. In many contexts, it'd be tough without case-insensitive regex matching, for example. Reinforcing my point, //i gains issues once applied to the entirety of Unicod

Fair enough. But notice: systems tend to expect that humans interacting with them observe basic rules. "The capital/lowercase variants of western alphabet letters are represented each as distinct character" is one such generi

I had exactly that done to me. By a huge 200k+ employees corporate monster... You can taste the humiliation of having to justify every sudo through a ticket system. They censored the internet for employees too, in an of course absurdly brok

> mistakes for no reason Don't you think that 65 ≠ 97 is sufficient of a reason?.. I mean, 'A' ≠ 'a', in ASCII, Unicode and even EBCDIC. In computers, those are two distinct characters. This fact won't chang

That's a dishonest statement and misrepresents the actual support. The "junctions" are unusable as "windows symlinks". For one, you can't create any as a normal non-admin user without specific authorization by

I find the "Bitcoin burns energy" argument completely laughable. With all due respect, your skepticism appreciated; let me explain. A more useful perspective is "humanity uses more and more energy for computation". The m

Asking for opinion: can one transfer experiences with non-drug addictions (videogames, promiscuity, social nets, etc) to the substance-abuse kind? How similar are these?

Hey, are you updating newpipe from F-Droid? I do, and it stopped working for me weeks ago.

Yes, I'll claim that such programs do exist. But it's rather hard for a human to notice those; beware of survivorship bias. Having said that, I still support the sentiment that most code is buggy. It's futile to expect pervas

What is this thing here? https://i.imgur.com/hxiwfe6.png (around 25%-25% from top left) Looks distinctly not part of the corona, more like a pod of some sorts, and it also jitters around in the video. I'm puzzled!

Hi Gabriel! I'm Max @ulidtko, I took over Guake maintenance from Lincoln, did a dozen patches, l10n merges and maybe one release... Together with Pierre we welcomed Gaetan years later. I'm still using Guake pretty much every day.

Look, I'm trying to humanly argue against the statement "Yoda conditions are unnatural". Nature has no boolean conditions. That statement should instead say "Yoda conditions are unfamiliar (to me)" -- at which poi
