CS major at a state school here. I got to skip 2 semesters of calculus based on my 5 in AP Calc BC. But yeah I’m kind of ticked off that these virtualized exams (which are trivial to cheat on) are being counted for college credit.

That’s weird, if I remember correctly, all the apps that use Sparkle to update don’t need to run as root. What makes Adobe’s apps so special that they do need privileged access?

I was looking at this yesterday and was amazed at how featureful it is. To promote/demote or move up/down a node, click or tap on the node and then tap/click the little arrow icon at the bottom. That will reveal directional b

This actually already exists as a library. This type of syntax is called Hyperscript[1], and it's existed (at least) since 2012. [1]: https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript (Although this library does not look m

Genuine question: do you think that writing your own editor was a better investment than extensively customizing an existing editor like Vim or Emacs (even going so far as to change the keybinds and UI)?

I don’t think it’s designed with us users in mind. It’s likely designed that way so they can boost story views (which allows them to sell more ads)

No, they're worried that patients might find out that they have a genetic disposition to disease X, and increase their level of coverage so that when that disease does come along, the insurance company has to shell out for its treatmen

Just wanted to point out the supreme irony: Auth0 wrote that library.

> the option to have 'alg: none' should never be used I doubt anyone uses this deliberately (edit: except maybe for internal server to server communications?). I agree that having it as an option is a footgun. I still think thi

Ship them a preconfigured router and an already-set-up iPad (with the WiFi router's SSID/password preloaded) along with some printed instructions and pictures on how to plug the router in and how to open up FaceTime. If you want t

And if the claims of HackerOne/Valve trying to get out of paying a bounty, that's just terrible, because a lot of these exploits can be sold to nefarious actors for much much more. Not paying out the promised bounty, to me, basica

You can change it in your profile settings (though that’s not exactly what you’re asking for). I think there’s a karma threshold, though.

And if they're consistently worse than the average, just execute the inverse of their trades and beat the market. :) Joking aside, I'm surprised that members of Congress have even allowed to trade on the markets, given how much in

I would recommend looking at Mark Rober's channel[1]. He's a NASA engineer turned YouTuber and does (weekly?) live lessons teaching kids physics through experiments. It's really fun to watch (and his catalog of non-live video

> Power: Bluetooth on all the time - battery drain? I doubt this is an issue anymore for modern devices. Things like smartwatches connect via Bluetooth but still manage to keep the phone’s almost-all-day battery life.
