Was that addressed to me? I certainly wasn't attempting to diss the community at large. Yes, sometimes the pedantry and "um actually" nature of this place bugs me, but that's just what happens in gatherings of nerds.

There was a Japanese novel called Library War that later got turned into a movie, TV series, and so on. The story took place in a fascinating if somewhat implausible near future where certain books were banned from the public, but libraries

Incrementing… So pixels at the bottom right of the image are the most likely to be flipped from the source image. Interesting. (Edit: Assuming big-endianness and left-to-right, top-to-bottom printing of the pixels/bits) Nonetheless, ye

Let me get this straight. You have a DeLorean DMC-12, a touchstone of '80s aesthetics and American pop culture icon, and you tear out the instrument panel and replace it with contemporary over-engineered Linux-powered glitz? You ruined

I was expecting this to be an excoriation of Peterson rather than a rather even-handed overview of his principles. Seemed pretty fresh to me for NYT standards.

It's quite complete. Cross-platform Server-Side Swift systems like Kitura use it to do things like multi-threaded HTTP serving. I imagine if you tried hard enough you could find edge cases that work on macOS but not on Linux, but the L

Are you converting straight to USD (or your local currency), or keeping the BTC? I know most storefronts that accept crypto do the former, but I can't help but wonder how much more they could have made if they had done the latter.

Tax avoidance is one of the benefits of using cryptocurrency as a currency. Yeah, I'll say it. But what is bitcoin except a database plus some math equations? By "owning" bitcoin, you have a cryptographic key which lets you d
