They didn't really do a very good job of selecting marketing examples. The only good one, that shows off creative possibilities, is the knit elephant. Everything else looks like the results of a (granted fairly advanced) search through

An interesting problem for those who're good at e.g., geometric packing problems and space-filling curves. I wonder about having an optional fill mode with more of a sphere-packing approach. I.e., instead of layering long threads of fi

Not noodles vs. gourds but two different gourds: * spaghetti squash (named for the long fibers in it's flesh) * butternut squash ...should probably be written with some hyphens: "Spaghetti- or butternut- squash" ...or with so

Prior to computer-generated 3D animation, I can imagine it was very difficult to float and spin vector-arrows in mid-air with enough accuracy to show what goes on without having to resort to reams of explanatory paragraphs. Eugene Khutoryan

Rust allows for higher stakes in terms of risk/reward while guaranteeing many aspects of safety. I'm not sure for this case if the scheduler would benefit from more complex/risky structures but if it did, that'd be a val

When I use the word 'Simple' in e.g., a class name, I usually mean: ~"This is meant to cover the 80% of common cases--I haven't done extensive testing or development on it. If you need to cover something in the remaining

I think one part of the trick is that you find high-functioning people but in less-overlapping domains. In one of the more successful teams I was on back in the day, I was a JavaScript developer and was paired with some Flash developers on

Yep. The primary fault lies with the too-many people who abused the non-hostile system. "This is why we can't have nice things"--because trust is too costly in the societies where hostile architecture is prevalent.

It happens all the time, no tech required, any time someone is foreclosed on. I agree it's wiser to avoid such situations but a lot of people end up delegating this kind of responsibility. If enough of them end up burning their own fin

My favorite is being asked to estimate a bug fix before I've had any chance to analyze the issue. It's like calling a mechanic over the phone and asking how much it will take to fix your car. The mechanic doesn't know if the

That makes sense to me but I'm not sure your average judge/juror would see it so simply--especially given that in most cases it'd be a lot easier to tell if/when a deadbolt has been modified.

I'm not saying owners should be completely barred from modifying their systems but there are security implications to bypassing their centralized / cloud-based authentication. It'd be possible for a knows-enough-to-be-dangero

Was actually thinking, once you've integrated it with a CI action and cheap static web host, this replaces Confluence in many ways. Looks like the basic editor is and will remain free. This could be a pretty great approach. What should

> 10 years is nothing It depends on how much was invested up front. Spend a couple hours recording a joke song on your phone that happens to become a viral hit? Ten years of monopolizing it seems more than fair. Spend millions of dollars

I'm not sure if it'd be necessary/useful but it might also be interesting to leverage zero-knowledge proofs so that interested parties could verify when the contents of a disclosure were made available without actually access

I like the general idea of improving communication / transparency. Perhaps some branch of the government could provide a registry for responsible disclosure (e.g., ` https://some-branch.gov/responsible-disclosure `). As

This may be beyond the FCC's purview, but given some of the comments (e.g., https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37393644 ) perhaps an entirely different strategy is warranted. Instead of trying to compel manufacturers,

Their expectation of neutrality probably stems from the word 'journalism'. I'd say that the expectation of neutral journalism is a (commonish) fallacy, though. Unbiased, neutral, objective reporting is a great ideal and aspir

It doesn't work for really wet foods like soup but I've been using wooden plates for e.g., microwave burritos. Since wood has a low dielectric loss, it's highly transparent to microwaves and therefore steals less energy away

It's so ubiquitous now, that it's hard to believe it didn't achieve proliferation hundreds of years ago. I suppose tacos are heading in that direction, too. I wonder, though, if the 1950s Brits were mostly thrown off by the s

Maybe 'trustification'? A novelish term for novel concepts around creating trust where it wouldn't otherwise be.
