Oh, it was 0% valid, and anyone who knows anything about how typewriters work (which you would think Rather, as someone styling himself as an old-school journalist, would know) could tell you in an instant. A partisan viewpoint is exactly t

That would have been before my time. The first big instance that I can remember is the Killian Memos controversy during the Dubya administration, where Dan Rather wanted us to believe a document written in a proportional serif font with lig

Interesting username you have there. I don't see why you don't accept "it's Rails." There are other issues as sibling comments have pointed out, but by starting with an ecosystem known to have performance limitation

So then why is it called "Djot" instead of "Jot?"

Aside from the sibling answers, Markdown, though originally intended solely for HTML output, is useful for writing other types of documents; I've written an e-book which was eventually destined for PDF format as a series of Markdown fi

As someone who's been using Markdown since before it was cool, I love it! I think writing the implementation in Lua is an interesting take since Lua out-of-the-box does not support standard regular expressions; it instead has its own p

Will anyone at MS learn a lesson from this and stop taking their OS development in directions the user doesn't want it to go? Or is that just crazy talk?

Love it. Does anyone know of any active artists who do a similar style of art?

That’s the way I see it. Give the people the means and expectation to protect themselves in a dangerous situation and the rest of the problem solves itself.

Sorry to be the guy, but "Game Boy" is two separate words and always has been.

So if you have one of those ridiculous ultrawide monitors, the text is very large, or if you have a vertically-mounted monitor, are using a smartphone held vertically, or just prefer to make your browser windows narrow, the text becomes ver

What does the Twitter purchase or Musk’s opinions on the war in Ukraine have to do with Space-X’s capabilities to successfully put satellites into orbit?

The fake ad is a brilliant idea; it encourages readers to look at the legitimate ones, just in case.

by Cyberdog 4y ago
Could you elaborate for those of us who don’t typically follow space news? Has Space-X had some trouble recently?

No, but the broader idea of sensationalist journalism wouldn't have been a foreign concept. At any rate, there is a process for amending the Constitution, so if you want the First Amendment to change such that the federal government ha

I don’t like the idea that the First (or any other) Amendment should be violated because there is already so much precedent for it.

By that logic, if someone uses a phone book to harass you via telephone, the phone company is liable. Or, for a more up-to-date example, if someone uses a DNS provider to find a server's IP address and do a DDOS attack against it (as i

Once upon a time I built an iOS language translation/dictionary app which used Wikipedia as a back end. Basically, if you entered a word in language X and the Wikipedia version for language X had an entry, it could find the translation

This is kind of my take on it. As gross as I find pipe-to-shell installers to be instinctually, I can't really think of any objections I have about them which don't apply to just grabbing a package from MacPorts, save for one: Mac

I would argue that shipping bad software is worse than shipping no software at all, yes. And it's impossible not to create bad software when you start with "it runs in a web browser, but it's not a web page." I say this

I’m still stubbornly using MacPorts. If it ain’t broke… But given that the entire world of technical documentation assumes all technically-inclined people using Macs are using Homebrew, I’ll probably have to give up and switch over at some

On the one hand, I appreciate the attempt to bring this stuff into the realm of "double click to run" boneheads like me, but on the other hand, I really despise Electron apps when they're multi-platform, where such use is som

Where did you get those instructions from? Is creating a virtual environment necessary if I'm fine with it running on my real system? I assume the environment part is what the "conda" commands on the GitHub repo readme are do

I had no idea who this person was so I searched her name. Apparently she grew up in Massachusetts, went to elite private schools, and became a Hollywood actress and writer. Somehow I have a hard time believing she had to pirate Photoshop ju
