How's the battery life? Can you replace the battery if/when it gets old? That looks like something I could buy. I've really wanted a tiny console PC with RS232 and ethernet for a long time now. I thought about building on

Took me two minutes to find aftermarket brake parts for B5 from bremboparts.com. There absolutely are cars for which it is difficult to get some aftermarket parts but this isn't a good example.

There's also some low-hanging fruit if someone wants to contribute. E.g. the developer docs are rather outdated. I recently implemented AMD FSR as a Gimp plugin but all the docs led to code that resulted in a slew of deprecation warn

Yeah, I go for a walk or a run or a bike ride after work. Unless the weather is shit. That's the great part, I get to choose instead of being forced to the same regular pollute every day.

I trust Google to randomly lock me out because their stupid AI determined that I'm a suspicious geek instead of a normal person. It's happened before, it will happen again. Very secure but not in my hands. No thanks.

I'm with you on this. The system is blatantly broken, and one way to get something done about it is to get everyone to abuse the hell out of it so that the system gets removed or fixed.

Why is is better ? It just seems different. APL's usage of monad predates its use in conjunction with modern functional programming languages, by the way. It goes back to the 60s, and there are plenty of books and papers where the

Is it really or is it just in the SV bubble? Or is this a case of "it's not interesting if it's not in SV"? Sometimes reading HN gives me the feeling that there is no "tech" other than FAANG in the US. Or som

But stack languages generally do evaluate left to right. I don't see why you couldn't do right to left. Makes no semantic difference. But the original post has a snippet that should not only be evaluated right to left, but also

> I think I’ve heard that the APL semantics is commonly described right to left so might be related? Not particularly related. It's just that every function is either monadic (operand on the right) or dyadic (infix). That makes it

I'd be interested in seeing personalized ads but there is no such thing. I recently had a look at what ad categories Google applies to me and honestly.. it is so wide that it is does not feel personal in the slightest, and indeed it&#

If you're going that route, I'd focus on small & cheap SBCs. A bare, credit card sized ARM computer is probably going to be more ecological (both in manufacture and operation) than an Intel PC.

Works with any encoding and arbitrary binary data. The last byte of the length field doesn't have the high bit set, and whatever follows after that is completely irrelevant. But still needless complexity for this.

I haven't seen a tool that can remove fluff and clean code. And I don't like formatters, because making the rules right is too complicated. I haven't seen a formatter that won't eventually mess up code that I carefully

Tbh I think a rule like "be nice" should also imply "don't spread dirt on people."

by thrwaeasddsaf 5y ago
As always, there's a flipside.. I find code with lots of comments and "fluff" to be a drag to read and navigate and generally work with. I would rather have less to scroll to begin with, than have comments help me jump to a

You're oversimplifying, because the question isn't about paying to remove ads vs not paying and seeing ads, but about paying and getting the product or not paying and not getting the product. People's behavior depends on the

Why is it unfortunate? It's entirely plausible that they've managed to pick the behavior that makes most sense for each operator. Different operators being different, it doesn't make sense to expect all to behave the same.

Alright. Maybe I just have a hard time seeing past the product, or the marketing is too obtuse for me. Car ads for example are a complete blur in my head. The only thing that I distinctly remember is when everyone had ads with their cars

That's beside the point, I think. What's the dream ? Yes, I might prefer pepsi to coca cola or vice versa and maybe that's a product of marketing, but both are just drinks to me. Just another product. Which I might buy on

I don't really understand the point about dreams. Do they sell you dreams? What kind of dreams? I see ads for products and services, most of which do not resonate with me at all. I have my own dreams, and I don't see them havi
