On the other hand, I'm still using my Galaxy Note 3 (2013). Only some months ago did I eventually get around to flashing it from Lollipop to latest Lineage (android 10/Q). The battery is fine because I replaced it. 4G works fine.

The source material for this does, we have the potential to become a grabby species. In particular though one of the strange things we can observe about the universe is how early we are, relative to how long we expect the universe to last.

It's sort of mentioned indirectly at the beginning in that source-code scripts that use a shebang, or make use of exit, can introduce development barriers. I've not written many CL scripts but I like Roswell too, and haven't

I'll just say if you want to do Common Lisp, vim works fine, so don't let that hold you back from pursuing your interest. The slimv plugin is good. (Some people also like vlime better. To be honest I've had some buggy experie

In most of my courses that did something like this there was no resubmission.* The professor supplied a driver program, sample input the driver would use to test your program, expected output, and a Makefile template that gave you the 3 com

You shouldn't underestimate the novice. The professors who do such weeder classes will have the data though, so you don't have to believe anyone's experiences if you can instead ask a professor... For what it's worth tho

Web goes round and round. ActiveX, Java applets, and Flash all supported sockets. It is nice that we can have them now without such things, but it's not like they're only a boon with no tradeoffs.

Something I still find hilarious is that after a product I worked on started to enforce a content security policy, the #1 blocked source was always for google font resources. Of course users could whitelist the domains, but many didn't

Earlier when I was looking for what backend stack they used (I had forgotten they forked from Mastodon) I found an article from last November about their new CTO, and had a lol moment: "its newest CTO…former software engineer who spent

"XDD" for all X is overrated, in the sense that the ideas attract adherents who use them as the hammer for all nail-looking things. Yet the best way to present any XDD principles is to ignore the rest of the world and alternative

It would be wild if there was some coordination of an intentional vulnerability in Mastodon or one of its dependencies. I don't think it happened here but I can easily imagine the future of open source moving in that direction, i.e. tr

Lots of possibilities. Another one I imagined is that "only the senior devs know how to use a profiler, and they're stuck in meetings all the time."

Little HN feature: if you click a comment's timestamp, you'll be able to "favorite" it. You can look at your (or anyone else's) favorites from the profile page.

The real security advice is: keep up to date with security patches. Staying up to date just because is not good advice. Gentoo has a nice system, "Gentoo Linux Security Advisories", where you can periodically run a program called

Making it so extensions don't auto-update themselves would be a helpful step in the right direction, it would cut down on the impact of when these things happen. Unfortunately I think we'll sooner see Firefox aping Chrome on this

You can actually find his opinion forming even earlier, e.g. here's something from 2003: https://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=4639 His opinions do change though, if slowly. Perhaps in 10 years he&#x2

The underlying point people miss is that you might have the best tool in the world, but without any discipline to start using it and continue using it, it will go unused. Discipline matters. Edit: relevant to the other thread, this is a pat

This happens on HN every time BTC gets another slot in the broader news cycle. Same comments, same arguments. For years, even before 2018. Just ignore the threads, they're each and every one useless... (I envy your history of comment r

If you refer to the place by its name, then I think you can drop the article. e.g. "I went to Burger King"; saying "I went to the Burger King" would be fine on its own but a bit odd if you're not going to add furthe

You'd think it'd be more common given how many sites are on EC2 and how expensive Amazon's egress is, but nonetheless, I never hear billing horror stories from that vector.

Nice write up. A small extra note for the community section, I've really appreciated Planet Lisp's ( http://planet.lisp.org/ ) RSS feed. It aggregates a bunch of other feeds so you can more easily keep track of what

I refer to long symbol names a lot more often than I subtract things. If I could have it in Python or Java I'd be happy, using - is just nicer than _ or camelCase. Using spaces in pipes |like this| is nifty sometimes too. I'd be w
