   I got screwed over by HobbyKing who never let me cancel an order even though they were over a month late and still hadn’t shipped it. I’m glad they got fined, they’re definitely shady.

   I didn’t mean to dismiss their conclusions! It might be a pretty awesome discovery actually: eat delicious sardines and avoid getting diabetes? Count me in! I just meant that, as is often the case, great discoveries are often made before we

    I’ve been much happier using KaTeX over MathJax. Indeed KaTeX can actually be rendered server-side. This prevents an ugly flash of unstyled content on math-heavy pages.

    It's just convenient. What other naming scheme would you suggest?

    I’m sorrry but your “Edit” makes you look pretentious. There’s a simple alternative: people just found your comment boring or irrelevant...

    I’m surprised by the statement that ‘cat’ is slow because it’s not multithreaded. Isn’t ‘cat’ io-bound?

    So apparently Ruby 3.1 is the version they expect the JIT to be actually efficient for Rails. Cool :)

    Kind of reminds me of http://utf8everywhere.org/ , but in that case it'd be sqlite-everywhere. Which is a pretty good point. A large number of Apple-made iOS apps went this route, and they seem to be doing ok!

    What's the problem of linking against SQLite? In my book it's much better because: - SQLite is coded in C, so performance and weight are going to be equal or better than any other reimplementation. - Having one code base means no

    Hi! My answer is obviously going to be biased, but I think our calculator is very different from a TI Nspire. We actually designed it with high school students in mind. We interviewed a lot of them, and we reached the conclusion that on ave

    Hi! Indeed, we don’t ship to Australia just yet. But we do have some users there so I guess there has to be a way to purchase one of our calculators from there. Well, technically we did send one calculator to Australia. It was a gift to Dam

    Hi! NumWorks founder here. First of all thanks for the mention. Also your calculator’s battery dying that early is not normal, I’m very sorry to hear that. We’re doing everything we can to preserve battery life (namely, low charge current

    I understand why the developer would like to get a recurring form of revenue, but as a consumer buying a subscription makes no sense at all! The goods obtained (Linux on MabBookAirX,Y) are very much non-recurring by nature...

    I think democracy isn’t so great, at least not under its current form. Voters judge candidates’ charisma a lot more than their ideas. And many people simply don’t care so much and will vote for stupid reasons, yet have the same impact that

    An implementation of the “core” math function of the C standard library, colloquially known as libm. Think implementing cos(x) using only pure C (so essentially addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of floats).
