I did the same thing for the same reason and I'm still finding songs in my mp3 collection with long strings of nulls in them. They only spent a year on XFS but that, plus a flaky display driver, did quite some damage. Luckily I kept

Would you rather be bound by rush hour, car accidents, and highway routes? No matter what you choose, you're bound by something.

So: - don't issue pull requests for multiple projects - don't keep mental track of the status of those pull requests. - don't worry about breaking clients - don't worry about the logistical/scheduling issues of mult

How are you going to determine market price? For example, what would the Sacramento Delta smelt (the fish) pay for their water?

Was it Louis CK who said he doesn't understand why this crappy generation should be the one that deserves immortality? And it's a good thing it wasn't invented last generation or we'd have a universe full of misogynists

It's not just open source. How many proprietary virtualization solutions can you think of? Isn't it good that so many smart people are trying to solve these problems in so many different ways?

Pretty dismal for now. :( https://github.com/SciRuby/iruby/issues/1 It looks like they got it working with python2, then the switch to python3 broke everything. Hopefully in a few months the python3 version

sed and awk have very little role in modern operating systems. It's easy to be a Linux whiz and still have to look at the manpage every time you see an awk script pulling out columns. Heck, awk is two generations removed. Even Perl o

Wow, that's a lot of languages! How is the Ruby support? A Rails console in the file I'm writing sounds epic. No longer would I need to clumsily suck the interesting lines back out of irb history using copy/paste. Looks act

The Pencil is more like a fat crayon, its latency is absurd, and its palm rejection only sometimes works. After having bought the Pencil and the Pogo, and hating both, I can say that technical drawing on the iPad is simply a poor experienc

Apple is an obvious counterexample (high perfection and high profit). Sure, perfection costs more, but does that directly affect profit?

Are profit and perfection correlated? Seems unlikely.

Unless it has a switching converter or regulator. Even when running at high frequencies they'll often generate harmonics in the audible range. It can take a heck of a lot of effort to keep a circuit quiet and nonmicrophonic.

> Why not pass water through turbines before desalination? You spend a ton of energy pumping the seawater up to pressure, then you pass it through a turbine? Why on earth would you do that?

Desal plants are at sea level on the coast. Most headwaters are thousands of feet above sea level and hundreds of miles inland. Water infrastructure is almost entirely gravity fed. Even if we could justify the immense energy usage, we can

That sounds like a very niche case, probably not worth solving. That said, the JWT lib could allow you to specify one or more fallback algorithms in case the default one fails to validate. If you're switching off an algorithm, you&#x2

Using the GP's example, it would take a huge amount of effort to make an online image editor accessible to the blind. I'm not sure that would be time well spent. All the GP is saying is that the trade-offs will depend on your aud

Dianetics contains progressions of plausible hypotheses to try to make a nutty conclusion look plausible too. Very much like your comment. I wonder if you're reinforcing the statement you're arguing against...?

It's not entirely her fault. First thing all her friends want to do when they hear the great news is see the ring. It's a sickness in our society.
