I had a lot of problems making Japanese text on ichi.moe display correctly. I'm using lang="ja" instead of lang="ja-jp" though, it seems to work and is shorter. The main problem with Japanese characters displayed in

Never heard of this survey. I guess only people who're using Jetbrains products had filled it... (looks at the editor statistics) yep, sounds like it.

This completely ignores the economy of scale. The process of supplying containers to the factory is highly efficient, which is why only a little fraction of price you pay for the product corresponds to the container. You're replacing t

The problem with these sort of predictions is that they never include falsifiable criteria, which would render the entire analysis false depending on the outcome. Here's a sample quote: "It's not going to die overnight, Patre

What is the brand name/model of this thing? I'd imagine the fact that it survived being eaten and frozen would be a great endorsement for the durability of the product.

This is a textbook case of tyranny of the majority. The people who aren't inconvenienced by the current status quo vote to preserve status quo. The few people who are inconvenienced aren't numerous enough to change the status qu

>What is a dollar "based on"? This is a poor argument. Many real-life currencies had effectively "went to zero" via hyperinflation. I assume you meant US dollar, but whatever Zimbabwean dollar was based on was clearly

There was a time when people didn't watch TV. They used to listen to radio. And before radio they used to read books. It's entirely possible that a new form of media will come along, hopefully less focused on passive consumption o

They don't open the numbers to the public, but surely they're reported to the IP holders. Now suppose Netflix is about to renew a deal to stream something. They go to the IP holder and say, hey this movie has been watched just 100

Is there a storage medium that would last even a thousand years? The song must be stored somewhere to be played. Any sort of storage that won't be subject to bit rot at this timescale would be prohibitively large.

The difference is that Quinn was widely praised by the media, and ended up getting a book and movie deal out of it. It's a poor example of "dangers of public shaming". Sacco, like many other victims, was vilified by the media

Almost everything on indiegogo is a scam. Kickstarter is slightly better.

I said back in 2008 and I'll say it now, that ruling was absolutely idiotic, and still is (especially considering Webkit/iPhone situation).

The real culprit needs to be called out here. Fuck apple and their puritanical crusade against porn. Anyone who appreciates NSFW content needs to boycott them.

I'd say it's perfectly possible for a Turing machine + a source of randomness to generate a random real number in [0, 1). We just lazily generate more and more digits to the required precision. It's no different from, say, pi

Actually more people died during evacuation than from the radiation itself (which afaik resulted in 0 fatalities). It could be argued that the evacuation was unnecessarily broad, and resettlement was unnecessarily delayed.

Killfile is a great tool because it only affects yourself. Everybody should use killfiles and implement them in their services. What you're arguing for is that people's blocks should affect not just themselves, but make things a b

Actually it's Twitter's thread. You pay nothing to them and you're basically using their computational and bandwidth resources to show your content to the world for free. That's exactly what you signed up for.

Persecuted people tend to kill themselves more often, yes. That's not the evidence that humans are hardwired to be straight white cis Christian males.
