Jack Dorsey. Isn't that when they were censoring news stories?

I remember back in the day everyone insisted C codebases had to be C89 so people could compile them in visual studio. EG the python interpreter. Is this still the case?

You go to parties where people are passionate about 32-bit PowerPC? ... can you invite me? This sounds great.

It tells us that the USofA locks up more people per 100,000 than any other G20 country. Ok so we're getting somewhere. Let's compare crime victimisation rates of G20 countries, and see if the United States high-incarceration rat

Prison population by itself doesn't tell us much. You'd have to compare it against some sort of measure of crime victimisation (crime rates are always a bit flawed, because if police don't respond to crimes -> people stop

All the debates about cars vs bikes are so stupid. Bicycles are vehicles according to law basically everywhere on earth. It's all very simple - you over take vehicles safely, vehicles signal where they are going and drive predictably,

I was a cycle commuter for a long time. I never seemed to have all the issues other cyclists have with auto traffic, and my area was pretty "middle of the road" for car-centrism (ie not suburban america, but not amsterdam either).

I remember a lot of the breakfast places in Taiwan they had this little notepad on the front counter. It had the entire menu on it, printed on plain paper about a5 size. You'd take a piece of paper, and tick the boxes next to the item

I really hope we'll look back at this fad of android powered wifi domestic IoT devices one day and laugh about how silly it all was. Not an IoT hater. I've worked for IoT companies, and there's a lot of very smart embedded en

oh very cool. I remember hearing about graphene in inorganic chemistry 101 and thinking it that was the neatest thing in the world. That and carbon nanotubes. De Heer says that it will take time to develop this technology. “I compare this

Isn't there a theory that writing medium effects scripts? IE the angles of Runes lended themselves well to carving. And something about left-to-right scripts was to avoid smudging. So I wonder the writing medium Arabic was for. Roman A

No. I'm pointing out that it's not a completely foreign concept, and easy to understand if you slot in a different value system. Understanding something isn't condoning it.

The United States maintains a no fly list, which is fairly easy to consider an official state punishment with no due process. Aren't a lot of people on it despite breaking zero laws, because of what they say?

Again... western democracies jails "political opposition" all the time. It's just that no one cares because they're fringe weirdos. (Are anti-monarchists considered fringe weirdoes in Thailand? I suppose it has a certain

A lot of people find this stuff hard to wrap their head around. But it's pretty easy if you take a step back. So if you read this with surprise or disgust - consider what ideas, events or people your own democratic state considers ille

Nice headline, until you realise how many dead cloned baby rhesus monkeys there must have been.

Very cool. I've actually been trying to learn about this area recently. I know this was aside from the main thrust of the article, but this but made me think: Page Cache Disabled (PCD) – pages descendant of this PGD entry should not e

I'm down for modeless TUI editors. This idea that because I like to work in the terminal I must prefer modes is accidental. I used micro for a while, which was quite pleasant, but didn't have all the LSP goodness.

I enjoyed this article, though not sure I can be bothered printing books. The approach taken here is essentially event sourcing, btw. It's old and it works.

I like Obsidian, but this response sounds like you just read the title and not the article. I recommend reading the article, it was pretty interseting.

Hmm that's interesting to me. I'm currently on a Planck EZ, I like it but would like my hands a little further apart, and the idea of using my thumb for more modifiers is definitely interesting. Had a look at the Corne but didn&#x

I wish this project all the success in the world. D has a lot of great ideas, and if getting patches approved is a bottleneck, this is the right choice.

I have so little respect for journalists. Even the highbrow news sources people love to share links to here are incredibly weasely. They all sound like Orwell's strawmen. If you ever want to verify this for yourself, watch a video capt

I mean it's a great deal for Israel, to get the US to fund efforts to sabotage your rivals nuclear program. But it's hard to imagine it being worth it to the American taxpayer. Remember it's arguable whether Iran would have b

The older I get the less useful I think this distinction between "official" and "unofficial" is. "Officially" King Charles can dissolve the UK parliament, but "unofficially" he can't. Power is po
