I think this is a minimization of the harmful nature of statements made by Donald Trump. We're not talking about not liking his political views. No, we're talking about dangerous encouragement of violence. It's not just that

This is not possible if your password manager itself requires a password. Unless you mean "password managers don't work because someone might know the master password" which is true, but realistically the alternative is just

Password management is better, not worse, for security.

Sorry for the late response. > execute relatively small snippets of shell code/one-liners as part of an asset management pipeline without having to "shell-out" and invoke an external process This is indeed a small part of

Thanks! It's Deno only I'm afraid. I'm interested in what would make it more useful for you as a Node project (so that I can gather info on the sorts of use cases that would be good).

I don't understand this part. As far as I can tell, utility monopolies can only form with government assistance (i.e. lobbying).

Here's a question I have about these types of frustrating monopolies, and I'd love a point towards a book or something that can explain. Let's say I have a bunch of money (or funding) for a big new internet provider that coul

The pursuit of sustainable living and the pursuit of a multi-planetary existence are parallel endeavours, not serial ones. Perhaps the view from Mars will instil a renewed perspective on our dependence on Earth, and teach us lessons on ecol

For me, no formal metric can capture what I get out of buying books at an independent book shop. I feel like I'm trading with an old currency, only the books I own and buy are a reflection of my own character, or even soul. When I lend

I really enjoyed it too. Some HN commenters could do well to learn about opinions!

In my opinion, this is simply an over-extended metaphor. Programming ultimately is not carpentry, and custom tooling is justifiable in many more cases.

But then, everything we look at paints an image onto our retina, so using it as a hook for a headline feels disingenuous.

So there are numerous deployments of "successful" games using PyGame, and no court cases by the creators/maintainers of PyGame towards those game developers? I'll take my chances. I don't see what PyGame's moti

Do you have any links for the implications for commercial use? If I released a game made with PyGame, what's the gamble? I've seen examples of people using it commercially [0]. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/gam

Game programming is an area in which I feel benefits greatly from the use of global state.

Doesn't the very definition of "lossless" depend on interpretation? If lossy compression alters its mass, but lossless doesn't, doesn't it depend on the interpretation of "lost" information? As I said to t

I'm out of my depth here as I've never studied information theory. I suppose there's a larger gap between the theory and the practical aspect of the title of this article than I first imagined!

But the context in those countries is too different to ours to come to any meaningful conclusion about what should be allowed "here" (I'm assuming UK + US mainly).

by _carl_jung 7y ago
This raises what I view to be a falsification by counter-example of the original premise. If information (and not _the representation of_ information) has mass, then does a piece of uncompressed information weight the same amount as the com

I'd earnestly like to hear the responses to this from the down-voters. I had the same thought and suspect there is a good reason not to use mixins. One problem off the top of my head is run-time changing of components. An entity that i

What does it mean to be on a "24h 50m" sleep cycle? Does your sleep time progressively become later until you're nocturnal, then continue looping round until it returns to a "normal" night's sleep?

For what it's worth, the principle objection I have to the Marxist position on wage and profit is the redefinition of the term "exploitation". It muddies the argument because it enables a circular argument whereby the transac

You make a philosophical leap about rightful ownership when you say "unpaid wages". I don't agree with that leap. Further, your definition doesn't include situations in which there is no employee (such as the one I gave)

I invent (at the cost of $500) a programming tool that improves your output by 50%. This enables you to earn $5000 more per year than previously. You purchase that software for $1000, providing me a profit of $500. Who's wages are unpa

Not necessarily. The "lower framerate" in our fovea is not represented as a stuttering sequence of frames, but a blurry and smooth flow. Simply using a lower framerate would still be noticeable. Unless you could engineer a display
