I am stuck doing this for medical reasons, and it is certainly one of the most degrading experiences I have ever had the displeasure of enduring. It's very possible he's stuck doing it for similar reasons. Most machines in Ameri

I heard they are using quantum computing for the routing. Will be interesting to see if they open-source the code, and how much time and money they save with the new techniques. https://www.volkswagenag.com/en/news&#x2

I'm really sorry to hear that google ads got even more, and now they're going to complain about a monopoly. Things like GDPR also make it harder to start a competitor, as paperwork and red tape always do; I have not personally wo

Others have mentioned the climate impacts, but I'd like to salute you for a different reason: your property is yours; good for you not listening to some BS regulation. The authority of others stops where your property begins.

You're right that it's more options, but it's also one more box a "competent JS dev" is expected to tick. One of the best and worst things about the JS ecosystem is the plethora of choices available. On compilation

Svelte is so great... so were react, angular, ember, meteor, and vue. I'm sorry, but I've got trouble seeing how having one more framework to learn is going to help any thing. There's a webcomic of some sort to which I can&#

America's population is mainly growing from immigration, according to the Brookings Institute's synthesis of census data [0]. Is government-funded sterilization the most productive solution for us, or even necessary, if most of t

It's not to prevent a competitive industry which can just produce something cheaper but also to prevent governments which actively use banned practices to give their nation an unfair advantage. More here: https://twitter.co

But at the same time, I think we might be a bit to far with the current setup of the web to change this. Not saying it can't be redesigned better, though. I can't see everyone moving to "abba.food.se" or "abba.mus

I know much of Europe has treatments like that; to be clear, I was referring to America. Maybe in time, but it probably won't happen now (if for no other reason than because no one wishes to expend the requisite political capital to d

I suppose you're right, but the reason that's generally advised against is so people don't run stupid stuff without thinking while root. I'd guess you're less likely to do that if a peer is watching. And to stouset

Based on google results, it appears to be an incident where the USS McCain collided with the Alnic MC near Singapore. She was getting off course, and poor UI made it so hard to steer her back that she crashed. Injuries and deaths resulted

Rapid prototyping. I'm not talking entirely out of my behind here; I've done ruby before. It's a joy to write, especially compared to something like Java. Unfortunately, that convenience and syntactic sugar comes at a pric

Gitlab has lots of problems. It runs slowly unless you throw tons of hardware at it, and has lots of bugs. Our devops guy burns tons of time keeping it running. There are too many parts to it; too many services. And ruby is just not mea

I'm a little worried about the economic implications of something like this. Population shrinkage might lead to an economic collapse worse than any global warming problem. Government-funded sterilization also sounds like a political

That's a pretty interesting idea. I hope you don't mind if I pelt you with a few questions; I'm curious to know more. * How are you calculating value based on carbon emissions? I assume you are compensating according to som

Couldn't increasing density create induced demand for more space in a driveable distance? Let's say we create policies to promote a manhattan-like density, and have lots of space nearby; don't you think manhattan would expan

Honest question: is there a major difference? I thought they were just dialects of lisp (guile is technically scheme, but isn't scheme just a descendant of lisp?)? I figured they might have slightly different syntax and that's i

I am indeed very optimistic. As much as I love linux, not having to get optimus GPUs set up on it would be a massive relief. I've voted on both before; here's to hoping!

Fair enough, that answers the question. Sorry about the ignorance; I was more wondering if there was some kind of encryption.

Serious question: shouldn't Wayland be done over HTTPS? Or any desktop protocol? At least some kind of encryption, I assume. Maybe it is, and I just don't know?

Interesting point. Kotaku got a nastygram over it a while back: http://web.archive.org/web/20090409100222/https://kotaku.com... I'm guessing you could reasonably argue genericide at this point, but

Can confirm; it opens the default .json file editor. It's whatever the default setting is (which was VS2019 for me, as I don't work with json and didn't have it set).

This is a crazy idea. Even if they worked, this would be a bad one. Most kids who get angry and aggressive never shoot up a school over it, and all this will result in is a bunch of kids who get in arguments being hauled in front of the c
