The British media is certainly using that word in places.

Although it is certainly challenging, you shouldn't spend only an hour reviewing a 3,000 LoC review, unless most of it is trivial refactoring, especially if that code is security-critical and handles untrusted input. That's only 1

More to the point you are comparing something that's only just been released and probably hasn't been tuned yet against something that has. The title on this post is extremely misleading. It should read "mature timeseries sto

I strongly recommend Aegis on Android. Encrypted backups of the TOTP config, so you can easily recover it all if you lose your phone without having to reset everything, plus biometric support to unlock it.

I also write both Go code and C#, amongst other things. I find your assertion that C# has lots of ceremony and ends up with more code than Go frankly pretty strange. Go is well known for having laborious error handling (prompted by a lack o

I never understand why people rave about Dyson vacuums. I had one of their mid-range ball uprights, my mother in law has a handheld one. They're not lightweight, but not built solidly. They lose suction over time and need taking apart

See also KubeForm - https://kubeform.com/ which will do a lot of this already, via Terraform.

Asking in 2020 what will replace the smartphone feels like asking in 1950 what will replace the motor car. Augmented Reality contact lenses are the modern equivalent of 1950s predictions of nuclear-powered flying cars. I don't think sm

Is it not possible to be highly competent at playing the piano and also at carving wooden sculptures? Or not possible to be a master of C++ _and_ CSS? That just doesn't make any sense. Perhaps your views are more a reflection on people

I found it concise, well-explained, informative and helpful. Hopefully many other people learned something useful from it. The author of the original site certainly got value from it given their reply. You don't always have to sugar co

I wrote a detailed, solid, accurate 1 star review of a child's digital camera which clearly didn't contravene their guidelines. Didn't meet their guidelines, wouldn't publish it. Amazon used to be great. Nowadays it&#x27

Firstly, you barely ever do. Secondly, unless you're selling compiled software for others to configure, there really is no difference between config in config files and config in code, except that the former does not let you build such

Yes, dates are very complicated. But that doesn't stop pretty much every modern language from having good built-in support for doing this, because it's such a totally common task. JavaScript is such a mess. It doesn't even su

For Windows, Snapchat have a standalone virtual cam called Snapcamera https://snapcamera.snapchat.com/ There are green screen plugins for that. You could chain Snapcamera's virtual cam output into OBS and use OBS &#x27

I don't understand. Can't we just turn the fuel supply of a rocket off mid-flight and then turn it on six months later and it would just continue on the same trajectory as before?

What the original poster means is that if I go JSON.parse(...) then how does that know to give me an object with a Date type instead of a Number? Answer: It can't. This is a frequent gotcha with Typescript, where even if your type is d

I found the whole thing to read like a set of bullet points. Fragmented, rather repetitive in terms of ideas and with no flow. Hard to slog through, to be honest. The author seems to have expended great effort on terseness, writing in very

Bugs notwithstanding, this is just FUD. You can go to the Amazon Echo app and listen to all the recordings. I'd be far more worried about the invasion of privacy caused by it listening to everyone's shopping lists.

That obviously depends on what your Electron app wants to do. Let's say you're writing an IDE in it. How would you invoke compilers & debuggers, cache filesystem/type information, state, etc. without breaking out of the b

You're assuming that 100% of the source code matters, but most source code has comments. Some has a lot of comments (boilerplate headers). Delete all the comments and superfluous whitespace, add nefarious code, put in a comment in the

You have the wrong end of the stick. The author means that he's ported it to achieve better performance than using Javascript's built-in map/filter./etc. operators because those do not lazy-evaluate and do not chain toge

Umm, that is is point though - with autonomy the cars presumably won't break the law and stop where it's technically illegal for 30s to pick you up. They will presumably need to find somewhere legal to park to do so.

If cars could assemble into close convoy trains on multi-lane highways / motorways / autoroutes / whatever, then it would probably also solve electric car range for many people - you only care about range on relatively long d

This isn't so much "show Hacker News" as "tease Hacker News". Your web site shows me diddly squat. Do you actually _have_ a product? Where's the video walkthrough, or at the very least, some screen shots? If yo

If you use webpack's hot reloading properly with something like React, then you get to keep your state - it's only the functions that get swapped out. So it's actually exactly what you describe, and it's brilliant - so m

They didn't. It was light-path based, so similar to ray tracing. It'd also do trees, mist, etc. Check out https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=48KtJtDqkaM for a 4K Vista Pro animation render!

Didn't they just? Microprose and Digital Integration in particular were the masters back then for this stuff - I remember the Project Stealth Fighter (C64, ZX Spectrum in around 1987) and then the Tornado (PC) manuals with particular f

You can get the content of most films from a two-minute read of a plot summary. Is it thus pointless to watch films?
