I don't use paredit or similar extensions to code Lisp. Just bare Emacs (with SLIME, of course) is enough. The closing parens that I didn't type are distracting. If there's so much parentheses in your code that you're ti

Good thing they weren't using whatever app Snowden's using (Signal?), that would've been awkward.

No problem, they'll just ban all the other messengers. Line and KakaoTalk are already banned. There's nothing a dictatorship hates more than communications that cannot be eavesdropped on.

Yeah and Germans' support for Hitler is understandable after WW1 and Weimar Republic but that doesn't not make them goddamn nazis. I'm Russian and I have the conscience to oppose my government's actions, so why can'

Not from the people. From a bunch of literal violent communists/anarchists. These people would happily kill anyone who opposes them if they were to come to power, so it's only fair if the current powers that be give them a cold sh

I remember being a poor student in the 00s, looking for hosting providers and Linode was a new cool kid on the block (prohibitively expensive for me though). Now a lot of things changed, and I can easily afford a VPS now, but Linode is stil

Except Slack doesn't have any new ideas behind it. It's just another chat app. And just like other popular chat apps of yesteryear, it's a fad that will pass.

I'm pretty sure all these companies already have a system like that. The problem is actually getting the bikes moved given the amount of personnel/vans they have.

Have you tried Google Japanese Input? It's probably more accurate at word prediction than anything else just because Google has more data.

Haven't heard of Pinterest in a lo-ong time. I guess it still exists?

A communist caring about "his" democracy? That's new. Wasn't he pro-Pol Pot?

Good for him. He could've been still developing VR if the left didn't do everything in their power to ostracize him for the crime of supporting the winning presidential candidate.

Ride it everyday, and all the Soviet nostalgia aesthetic is making me sick. Here are some actually interesting stations: - Vorobyovy Gory (the longest station, situated on a bridge over Moscow River) - Dostoyevskaya (decorated with scenes f

This is the first time I heard of this. Wonder why the Uber story blew up so much, but the Tesla one was pretty much ignored?

Maybe you can guess some hand-picked examples, but that's it. Your analysis of 病 is incorrect. It's a phono-semantic compound of 疒 (sickness) and 丙 (pronounced "bing"). From this you can deduce that 病 is pronounced simil

by Grue3 9y ago
That's nonsense. For a typical (phono-semantic) character, only one radical corresponds to meaning (which is really vague, such as "tree", "water", "man" and so on), and the rest correspond to another char

I live in Russia, and none of the roads outside of Moscow Ring Road have any markings at all. Yes, even big cities. At best the markings are painted in spring and disappear within a few months. Getting autonomous cars to work in these condi

But consider that there's basically zero chance that I (as a typical user) will book a hotel if it's not listed at booking.com. Just because I must read real guests' impressions of the hotel to avoid the ones with bad Wi-fi.

I never understood Americans' obsession of having the government control ISPs. Like, I'm sure most of people here are liberals who hate Trump. Do you seriously want the Trump administration having the means to control the way ISPs
