Well, you can still right click on an image preview in Google Image and then select "Show Image" to get the image in full resolution, like the good old "View Image" button.

There is of course a middle ground between 'writing for writing' and 'writing for payback'. For instance people might want to post how they did some stuff, with the hope that it helps at least one guy. That's how mo

I kinda agree with you, but I think it's expected: demos are just ads for technical people. So in a way you know that it's too good to be true. Plus they don't actually explain how it works, how the demo was made and what&#x2

I mean almost by definition a single app page is a mini browser inside a browser. So you can make it as fast and clever as you want, you still added another layer to render boxes, text and probably the most important: ads.

I would be more concerned by the fact that if i is 10, then you already are in trouble ;)

Musl is a pretty good replacement, I have been using it for years without any troubles.

It looks a better bet to colonize Mars with genetically modified humans to sustain radiation. If such technology is not available at the time, having DNA correcting machines to give birth to sane humans is probably going to be a solved prob

Very well written code indeed. Thanks for the links. They could make error management less bug prone by using goto, but it's definitely high quality C code nonetheless.

I think the key point is the amount of energy and resources necessary to make self driving cars a reality. With the ongoing climate change and projected energy crisis, humanity may not have the physical resources to build and maintain self

Believe it or not, it's one way or another to formulate a critic, and I'm fine with it. However your strongly worded answer lacks arguments, so color me unconvinced.

As long as Linus is blaming the work done and not the people behind it, that's fine. Something truly aggressive would be "This benchmark is garbage and the people responsible for writing it are monkeys on crack". He did such

If I had to guess why there are no such lightweight library, it is because when somehow the library API doesn't provide what you want, you cannot hack the library itself easily. If you import the source code you may have trouble buildi

That was very true for a long time. But now with cmake and a package manager like hunter, it became quite easy and pleasant to work with dependencies. ExternalProject_Add() may also work.

A little off-topic but here is a cool piece of code about a special case in C: void (*foo)() = 0; void (*bar)() = (void *)0; void (*baz)() = (void *)(void *)0; // Error Can you guess why compilers reject the last

Handling malloc() failure is almost never done for short lived programs. For instance git used to fail as soon as an error popped of (whether be it malloc() or open(), etc...). It just is much simpler and convenient to do so. While C has

Then why is even a harmless increase to 2 or 4 refused? The current confirmation time and fees are beyond any worst case scenario, but yet there are still people completely brainwashed to argue that Bitcoin Core is perfectly fine. Bitcoin C

What other coins are also promising in your opinion? I'm talking of scalable, fast and decentralized coins like raiblock seems to be.

by needs 9y ago
Let's give that a try, from what I understand, coins are generated once for all in the genesis account and then need to be sent to other accounts. Hence that's why you send free coins, right? xrb_1fu8fcm93ifjnugkkt1nckr43trq7urqt9

By design, miners control Bitcoin. Before Ethereum, miners were fine with Bitcoin core because they were still making tons of profits, and blocks weren't full. They were almost all following core and that's why core has a lot of

The stupidity of not raising the block side and pushing for segwit and side chains (or LN) as a way of scaling has been debunked so many time that still believing in it is like believing the earth is still flat. Come on, even a newcomer

I'm not sure what you are talking about. Because what I see from my point of view is a dozen of Blockstream employees pushing for segwit, with barely no support from the community nor the miners. And on the other side I see a growing

I hope people on Hacker news doesn't get duped by all the toxic people dismissing BU and promoting Core. The facts are that r/Bitcoin and bitcointalk.org, both owned by theymos and a handful of other people, are paid by Blockstre

Just to point out that SegWit is everything but "already adopted in the industry". It turns out that SegWit is the solution promoted by the developers of bitcoin core to allow for bigger blocks, and solve some issues like transact
