Do you know any way to style them using CSS without using JS? (and while keeping them cacheable)

That's what my first thought was when reading about the “miracle ingredient”, and I am confused why no other comments here mention this.

That was pretty much my reaction too, as someone whose first programming language was C …

Rust: if foo.validate() { println!("{} is the right answer", foo); } This has less parentheses (unless you count the placeholder in the format string). Putting the condition in parentheses like C and friends d

Same with me. I mistrust German intelligence agencies just the same, even though they are supposed to be organs of my government. My stance here is simple: if an institution has something to hide from me (barring personal information) then

They are selling Scale-Out processors here, which IIRC “only” have 4-way SMT (which will, given IBM's track record, still actually give a ~2.5x improvement over no SMT, unlike <1.5x for SMT2 in Intel/AMD)

There was a crowdfunding campaign, but it failed. This new product however can be directly preordered (and for much lower price: the board costs little more than half of what Talos 1 would have and the CPUs they are offering right now cost

Oh I would definitely say that debt is looked down upon in Germany. I would say I have generally owed at most a single (monetary) debt at a given time in my life (or two if you count my employer paying me mid-month as a credit of half a mon

In my case, it would be that I trust my phone much less than a single-purpose card.

Amazon certainly accepts payments that way. And many other online retailers offer GiroPay, which I think is a payment method based on SEPA Credit Transfer. I don't know about the cost structure of that one.

Given that they're selling systems with AMD cards in them, I would imagine that AMDGPU/RadeonSI at least would very well.

They're already scaling down … in the POWER8 Talos campaign, the cheapest CPU option was something like $1300, the CPU they're offering here is only $300. And the board, because you don't need expensive memory buffer chips an

I mostly mean that I don't have a card that can be used for payment over the usual networks like MasterCard (unless those “Maestro”-cards do work, which I doubt), Visa or AmEx …

I applaud them for pricing the board at around $2000 (though with the CPUs it's obviously more expensive). This sits squarely within my budget for a high-performance and trustworthy workstation like this (even accounting for taxes). Ho

That's completely different in Germany, because here everyone with an internet access is legally liable for any misconduct done using their connection. There are movements to change this, but Germany still is the country with the lowes

Graal is comparable to RPython in the PyPy system isn't it?

Depends on where. Here in Germany nobody in my family and only one of my coworkers (AFAIK) has an iPhone, and only two have iPads, while basically everyone I know has an Android device.

How does it work? Pass the return address in a register and have enough caller-saved registers that leaf functions can often do without spilling? Or is there a more sophisticated mechanism?

I put a 1KB base64 string into my PayPal 'security' questions. Problem now is that it won't accept that string again when I want to change my password. I assume the text was truncated at some point but is no longer now …

Well people work concurrently, and IMO the repository should show that, too.

Hmm, interesting. Once I've written my current novella, that sounds like an interesting topic for the next one

When I found out you had to register your stuff for copyright in certain countries, I was actually surprised ... I just thought having copyright for your work by default was normal.

little typo: vMAJOR.MINOR.PATH => vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH And I must say I agree with all you say in that post.

This is exactly what I like about git and don't like about Mercurial: keeping book about which was what does not matter IMO, and complicates (automatic) reasoning (e.g. bisect) about the development process. What does matter is that co

A tool that does not naively sort the commits by date but groups linear parts of history together should allow for better overview.

Well, isn't the idea of those vDOM toolkits (like React) to be that "JSON description"?

Interestingly this was the first thing that came to my mind when reading the headline ... Great minds think alike, as they say :D
