I don't think I said anything of the sort.

No, it's bizarre how many commenters in here are trying to stop _me_ from eating bugs (via a social disgust reaction).

It seems that if anybody is trying to change anyone else's eating habits, it's the anti-bug folk in here.

> want to make everything a disgusting misery for other people Wait, who's doing this? All I've seen is advocation for eating insects, not people trying to make others do the same. The comments in this thread would make one thi

It's wild to me to see such an anti-insect eating tirade on HN. Just observe the comments here: almost every highly upvoted comment is anti-insect, and the comments that express any positive sentiment towards eating insect is flooded w

Not to mention that: 1. Ferrari knew about this and did nothing until... 2. a driver had to leap out of his moving vehicle in order to avoid certain death by drowning. If anything, a little shaming is necessary in this case.

Clojure crowdsources "examples" (to good effect, IMO). For example: https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.core/assoc-in

I wonder if you could fingerprint hand movements. Then you wouldn't even have to strategically place your thumb.

For those wondering: big-endian means you crack an egg from the bigger end.

Not going to comment on hole digging because I am a "techie", but going to use your comment as an accretion point for a thought I've had for a while. In software, until we acknowledge the way in which the coastline paradox[0]

I think it's a good question. > Seemed like a pretty direct statement of the facts of their case That's exactly what tickled me. He could have just said "My car keeps playing the same album when I adjust the console"

You have a gift for writing humorously.

These are examples in favor of my point, not against it.

I don't see any reference to it in the GH readme, but I do wonder what they call actual arrays (as in, fixed size allocations of memory that store a contiguously typed value).
466.
by cnity 4y ago
True, though in OP's defense I don't know if I've ever seen a language refer to a growing list of entries as an "array".

Folks, we are all going to die. Live life well, make sensible decisions, eat well, get outside, exercise, socialize. The rest is noise. Do you want to be min-maxing every facet of your life?

It wouldn't surprise me if someone managed to implement a 3d voting arrow in less than the 407B transfer size of the existing .gif

After a bit of an inspection, it looks like they segment the viewport into multiple canvas elements. I don't think repositioning loads of canvas elements by translating the parent div in CSS is the most performant approach, but I may

You've sort of summarized "I am a Strange Loop", which is a good book on this topic. Also for a fun idea of sentient individuals forming the components of a computer (a kind of inverse of what AI is), I recommend "Three

Probably because ctrl-R doesn't present you a list in most shells. Maybe you want to scan the list visually and look at neighboring commands. ctrl-R doesn't really take advantage of human vision by showing all results next to each

Not sure why this is downvoted: seems like the inevitable endpoint of AI vision/image generation research and it warrants consideration and discussion.

Something that helped me in all my areas of life is realizing that I was attempting to fit myself into the expectations of "the internet". I managed to somehow drop this almost instantaneously after the realization, and now behavi

Yeah either you'd have to maintain the generated spec as a versioned artifact hosted wherever is most convenient for you, or the CI could actually generate the before and after specs based on the PR diff. If the calculation of the spec

Even if it was needed, they would not have had a hard time finding a trustworthy volunteer.

One alternative that enables you to keep generated files out but still feel like there's an explicit human check in place is to add a gated confirmation step in CI to confirm that the changes to the generated spec match expectations. S

Genuine question: I've heard this criticism for literally every pop-history book I've read (Guns, Germs, and Steel; Sapiens; The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, etc). Are there any history books tha

Why would you even want to constrain the solution if there is more than one? Why not just allow any solution that fills the tower?

This is a chicken and egg problem. This limit seems impossibly high because users lack the expectation they can perform this action, because designers of software don't expect users to perform this action, because users lack the expect
