It would be so much more useful if it let you change the size of the previews.

Important to note Christians as a whole still vastly outnumber “Nones”.

I've never noticed slowness in OMZ, or really any shell. Or at least, when something feels slow I've always assumed it's the application I'm using, or network congestion, not the shell itself. In what situations do you n

It looks much smaller than a Gameboy. About the size of a phone, just more square.

I mostly agree but think you underestimate the “contexts where we actually want visual interaction” - a screen is not just for consuming visual media. It might be that all input is spoken, but output will always need a screen, because spo

Interesting, thanks. But I’d disagree that this makes it “hardly open source”. It makes it more ‘GPL’ than ‘MIT’, but both of those qualify as open source. It seems a pretty reasonable condition in this case, imo. In any case it would be a

Perhaps! Should be an easy one to prove. Feel free to point me in the direction of any evidence, such as a Tesla patent that has not been open sourced. Or in fact any concrete, straightforward evidence for your claim that he “lies a lot”. I

In the interview he states that Tesla has open sourced “all” their patents, and that SpaceX doesn’t register patents except occasionally to stop patent trolls.

An idiot who is the chief engineer of SpaceX and Tesla, who transforms entire industries, who gives away his companies’ IP for free to competitors! It’s a shame how the majority HN mindset has shifted in the last few years. People used to h

You seem to be arguing against some other point I have not made. I said it is irrelevant to whether a given piece of work is good or not. If a given piece of writing is good, it’s good regardless of what tools the writer used.

It’s a shame it’s now so much easier for bullshitters to produce bullshit quickly, but it is still irrelevant to whether a given piece of work is good or not.

I think you are very confused about what a reductio ad absurdum is. It is not a fallacy, it’s a perfectly valid form of argument (similar to a ‘proof by contradiction’ in maths), and it doesn’t seem to be what you mean here.

If that's what is meant by 'an input/output mechanism' then it seems like a pointless observation. It's just saying "you can do things to it, and you can observe things about it", which is true of pretty m

What kind of input/output are you talking about?
234.
by cal85 3y ago
I don't get it. I can see the human body as a system that comprises many input/output mechanisms. (And of course it's possible to emulate such a system given enough compute.) But how can you reduce it to a single "inpu

I remember this on GTA III, played on Windows XP. I think the radio station was called "MP3 Player", and there was an empty folder in the game's application folder to which you could add MP3s.

Important to note it's not planned for Central London, but Stratford, where it makes a bit more sense, as it's a commercial hub with huge shopping malls and modern developments.

Yes, all ad hominems are observations. The point is they are merely observations about the person making the argument, not the argument itself. They aren't necessarily false, and they may even be interesting to some people, but they fa
