The fundamental problem of dependency management, as anyone who ever kept bookmarks knows, is that the external sources might go away at any time. It's not a problem unique to Deno or Go. Take Java for example, its standard dependency

The article says he has yet to harvest a single vanilla pod from his plants. It very much looks like he intends to primarily create a business selling his greenhouses, rather than actually producing vanilla, which is a long and involved pro

At this point I think a submission of 8 generic "arrow exiting square from top, top-right, etc." might have a better chance of being accepted as it holds a general meaning of exiting something and is not specific to hypertext as s

From my layman understanding the initial viral load is a strong factor in how well you can respond to the infection. Immune response more or less happens in a constant time, while the unchecked virus spreads roughly exponentially. If your i

When you know that Ethos Capital (that wants to buy .org) was co-founded by an ex-ICANN CEO, and that it employs several other former high-ranking ICANN staff, then it starts to make a lot of sense.

The idea of voluntarily infecting the entirety of the population with a virus to prevent economic downturn seems a very dangerous idea to me. The purpose of society is to ensure the well-being of the people. It is not economic growth. Furth

What that comment is saying is that the two axis have different units (a unitless risk for covid case fatality and a time^-1 rate for mortality), so you can't compare them. Which is true, but if you multiply the rate by 1 year, then th

How is a virus species defined ? As I understand it a species is a group of organisms that can reproduce viably with each other. But a virus doesn't reproduce like that, they clone themselves by hijacking a cell's machinery, so th

What Ioannidis is advocating is to do nothing until we have scientific certainty of what the correct decision should be, and only then act. What he's not taking into account is that the situation is unfolding right now, and if "do

Withholding access to a vaccine to a disease that is causing thousands of victims, thousands of deaths, would be quite literally a crime against humanity. To even consider the idea, presumably for political purposes, is insane.

It seems weird that Go considers EOF to be an error condition. Reaching the end of a file is a normal, expected outcome of reading files.

Not OP, but : - you can't store objects in variables, so code looks convoluted with deep nesting as you need to apply multiple transforms to objects - there are no real variables, more like constants that take the value of the last ass

I just want to point out that it's possible to migrate an SVN repo to git while preserving history. I used svn2git ( https://github.com/nirvdrum/svn2git ) to migrate many repositories, although not very large ones.

No, not in aerospace. The common approach is to spend years designing, simulating, and then actual tests come at the very end, and sometimes you don't even test because you can't or it would be too expensive. That's what Boei

You could probably go even lighter by removing the power/control box entirely from each panel, and replacing it with an after-market board and a common supply for everything. It's easy to find control boards with HDMI inputs for y

You're assuming a source of monotonic nanotime is easy to get and will always be available. This is not the case. As far as I know you have either "wall time" as usually defined, with all the problems associated with clock dr

Erasable blue ink tends to fade away after a few month/years if the paper is left a bit exposed to air or humidity, since the eraser uses a chemical that is also present in the atmosphere. So be careful if you intend to use it.

This is the conventional wisdom but the more I think about it the less I agree. I think we have a duty to minimize resource usage and waste in general. The part of energy used by IT infrastructure is constantly increasing and has a signific

This is cool stuff but I'm not sure what application this is targeted at. Primary lithium cells have a 15 to 20 years operating life, and contrary to those batteries you can draw more power on demand when you need it and stay asleep at

DNS is really a major technical and organizational weakness of the Internet. It is centralized, it is insecure, it lacks privacy. And now, apparently, it can be exploited for the profit or corrupt individuals. I think it is time to replace

This isn't that easy, you'd need support from SOC manufacturers, board manufacturers, also I believe ARM chips don't have feature enumeration as x86 chips do. Not to mention that your kernel would need to embed a whole lot of
