Not to disagree with you, because I understand your point of view, but for me the hiding doesn't come across as censoring so much as marking as "off topic, meta discussion". People who care about that kind of thing click thro

I agree completely, you'd work out what kind of power budget you have (maybe even monitor it if you are using solar) and phone home as regularly as reasonable.

What percentage of the coast lines around the world are covered by cell towers, I wonder? It would be an improvement over having to find them manually, but if you've gone to the effort to engineer an electronics package capable of conn

"Relatively simple" is probably relative. As others note keeping the electronics alive is going to be hard enough, but the "ping back" is probably the hardest bit. There is no such thing as mobile connectivity in the mid

With only a little bit of hyperbole, that's because the question "is Coffee Good for you or Bad for you?" isn't scientific. At best, science can try to answer the question "Do people, that are very similar to you,

If you're not aware, indenting your code marks it as preformatted, and so won't wrap in HN. Code which is preformatted and not wrapped is really hard to read on mobile, and even on desktop the end of your code is cut off in a scro

Are you thinking of doing that? I'd love to check back in once all the new drawings are available.

In the article they make it clear that they’ve indicated they intend to leave, in a year’s time as required by the treaty, if negotiations to bring China out of its old developing nation status don’t succeed.

Are all of these solutions available anywhere? They all seem to simply be html files, so github pages should be able to serve them, but I couldn't see anything.

This was fun to play with, but impossible to improvise on for anything other than a relatively random sequence of notes. While I could get a bit of a feel for how my actions would influence the piano, there is still a huge disconnect in the

A popular alternative I've heard here a few times is the "lottery factor". How many devs could win the lottery and retire to a desert island while we still retain working knowledge of it.

Back when we were working on Bukkit, when Dinnerbone and the other three were aquihired? by Mojang, one of the main things they wanted to do was implement a proper modding interface into the game. Lots of things conspired to make that not h

The solution of course it to just allow people to do what they want. Every now and then it’s useful to everyone to stop some things from happening - it’s easier to have the gate than to not. The fact that that exemption exists is what drive

Subtask issuetypes are a real thing, and are different to issue links. Different parts of the UI and some functionality works differently for subtasks than for linked issues. For example, you can set it up so that you can't close a &#x

To wade in on the JIRA wars going on, I was once a JIRA consultant (among other things). I ended up telling people I worked on business process design because once you see 100 different ways people are using a tool you learn most of the wro

Yes, this is a fundamental issue if you wanted to do this at scale. There are a few solutions to this already, using solutions like outline.com to pull the content out of the cruft, but I don't know how many of these are general purpos

Does the article's history page keep a record of what the content of the link was when it was updated? I guess it doesn't, but assuming that IA records every link as it gets added you can use the history page to see which snapshot

They mention at the end of the article that 'content drift' may be a bigger issue than link rot; when the content of the post is simply changed rather than missing, it is much harder to notice. Is there a scalable way to monitor W

Threes! is inherently more complicated, dare I say topographically so. The two games are obviously very similar, and you can list their rules pretty easily, and how those rules differ. I'm going to attempt to write them out below for m

I think what we see more and more of is a focus on development frameworks that can target multiple platforms. This already happening with frameworks like Unity. As the plethora of capable devices increases, especially in the non-traditional

To add to this, it's really easy to add your experiences to the database. If you get a game to work, take the time to head over and add your experience.

For the people saying that this would have unintended consequences, that may well be the case. Somehow, the rest of the world seems to get by without the same tipping culture. Moving towards a fair pay for work culture may require more than
