I suppose I don't know for sure how JS runtimes implement them, but closures ought to be very cheap. They just need a reference to a static block of code and to any variables declared or referenced within. The most expensive part of us

For millenia the main source of sustenance for almost everyone in the world was carbs: bread in the west, rice in the east, maize in the new world, roughly. Most of the time they weren't malnourished. The "withdrawal" and sub

This fails to recognize that the smallness of npm modules is intimately related to the proliferation of dependencies. The idea behind the node module-design paradigm is that packages should be small and many, instead of large and few like (

People have felt connected to spirit animals and all sorts of things. If that's how you define otherkin then it's pretty obvious it's been around forever, but "otherkin" also refers to the tribe that has formed ar

I think that seeing fetish content in porn easily translates to sexual stimulation, in a way that passion and nuance just don't. What turns you on while you watch sex might be very different from what turns you on while you participate

That's because the matroška container format is often formated as just "matroska" which happens to be a different word. The "š" is the character used for the "sh" sound in slavic languages that use the lat

Since this is a tool for encoding media files, the name conflict with the multimedia container format [1] might lead to confusion. [1]: https://matroska.org/

The point is why they consulted with people in the industry. Often when media shows hacking it's as an action scene, and you can have some very exciting realistic hacking scenes, but only if you can rely on the audience understanding

I don't know if the parent was so much suggesting a conspiracy as a feedback loop. It's the status quo because those groups keep perpetuating it. And they perpetuate it partly out of selfishness, but mostly becuase in the world

There is a reason why its in my interest to not have my neighbor stockpile chlorine in his basement. What does this have to do with drugs? Maybe some extremely fringe libertarians like the idea of no substances being regulated, but a puri

If you look at the second chart in the article [1] you can see that marijuana is much cheaper online than on the street in the US. A lot of it is coming from legal states and California, where it's cheaper to produce. Street weed in mo

If you're only counting death rates then yeah, the murder is better than the cirrhosis. But the actual experience of living in a society where anyone might be murdered in the street is significantly worse than the experience of living

Very few drugs are significantly physically dangerous when not used chronically, as long as you're careful with dosage. Even volatile solvent inhalants, easily the least-safe commonly-used drugs, simply can't do that much damage

This code neither does anything (it's a library) nor does it fit the criteria for "LOC" given in the article: minified code formatted into ≤82 characters per line.

You aren't going to go to a wild hive and collect their food. Apiarists make their own hives, and maintain them. An increased demand for bee bread would probably work to counteract declining honeybee populations, by spawning more human

VR is new and thus not well defined. The name, at least, is inclusive of all technologies that simulate a sensory experience, in a way that "television" never was.

This list is useful for people who are already used to thinking in these ways, intuitively, by being exposed to other people and learning by osmosis. Formalizing intuition leads to easy growth. For other people, you're right, it's

You're getting the wrong impression of those who disable javascript. Yes, they tend to be programmers, or otherwise tech-minded, because they have to know what javascript is, know how to disable it, and (most limitingly) understand the

The semantic web failed in large part because browsers didn't implement XSL, and so the average web developer never learned about the idea of sending structured data to the client as XML and using XSLT to instruct browsers to render th

Your complaint is essentially that they are using a language that other people working on the same project don't know. There are good reasons to discourage that: it fosters bikeshedding, and CSS's ways of expressing dynamic behavi

Yeah, but what happens when the api surface of one of the modules changes? Erlang's dynamic typing, combined with its philosophy of treating crashed processes as normal, means that you can deploy the upgraded module on multiple machine

Not all the computer generated ones seemed human even on the level of the individual lines. I read all but one all the way through just in case something at the end managed to bundle the chaos into something coherent, but Sonnet #5 has this
