I am totally aware of the internal model and exploiting it (and other features) daily as much as I can, and it absolutely doesn't change the fact, that I see the UX/UI as irregular, accidental, chaotic, and more grown than designe

Don't have one; could you describe in some more detail how it works, or link to some info on the web? edit: for now, main google results are "how to disable haptic feedback on iphone 7" -- huh? edit 2: ok, found some basi

I'm curious what exactly will the "haptic touch" technology of the dial be? Do you know of any consumer-grade products with (hopefully) non-buzzer haptic feedback on touchscreen available on the market yet?

Also people at Sabre (worked there) and I presume Amadeus (those are two main players - surprised you seemed to "forget" to mention them?). As to the "categories", people at Sabre working with them used to say in some ca

Not exactly a trivial task, and surely gruesome. And could still draw flak from some unhappy people anyway. And by the way - isn't the contents maybe available on the Web Archive already?

I'd read it not as "Google (the company) federated wiki (product name)", but rather as "google (verb) federated wiki (keyword describing a technology)" - i.e. https://www.google.com/search?q=federate

Why? I don't see any problem, the message seems quite clear; wikis (similar to forums) are hard to maintain (spam, server load & costs); new inventions are hard to promote (federated wiki mentioned in the post); and maintenance wor

At the linked t it's fairly boring, but it gets much more interesting a few minutes later, when there are obstacles positioned on the road, and some of them moving!... Also the next team's car makes much more sometimes hilarious

Awesome, thanks! It's the first time I've seen example PEGs explained so nicely. I've let myself add a few small comments with some additional suggestions. Some additional comments I didn't know how to add on github: - i

I really wish the expressions were better documented/explained in the source. They're dense, similarly to regexps, and regexps also benefit immensely from explanation when used as a demo/teaching tool.

After some initial thoughts and experimentation, I now look at the "SO Documentation" name as somewhat misleading (if "Documentation" is interpreted as "[Reference] Manuals"), and try to rename it in my mind as

Interestingly, it occurred to me that NixOS might be in perfect position to enable painless "gradual migrations" of tooling. Imagine alternative history of UNIX, where NixOS was invented really long time ago, before 'less

Why do you believe it makes Unix a single user machine??? I'm not aware of any reason for such statement, can you elaborate?

As a "common user", I'd say very much yes . It goes quite deep into the internals, and touches underlying ideas and basic mechanisms of Nix, which I don't think are expected to change [ever]. That said, note that it sta

Ok, I think I understand - that you mean some more general money laundering of bitcoin? where source of the money need not be known, because behavior shows that it just has to be money laundering. Tx!

Curious how do you know they were bad actors, given the anonymity? Were those some known stolen bitcoin wallets or something? Sorry if the answer is obvious, I'm not a bitcoin user.

Anyone knows if the situation is similar or different on GOG and itch.io? It's sure a good, valuable (because informative) marketing piece by Humble, but if anyone can chime in with info about the competition, potential users among us
