Wow, many of those words have legitimate non-slur uses. I can't imagine an automotive forum where users cannot discuss how to retard the timing on a distributor.

Fifteen years ago we were using flot to plot data updated in real time. It seems strange to me if the newer frameworks wouldn't be able to handle that on newer hardware. Are svg/css just less performant than canvas?

It does not matter whether the OS is involved. Consider a spinlock; if it is spinning, waiting on the lock to be released, then it is blocking. What matters is whether control returns to the process before the operation is complete. If th

The reason memory access can block is because it can cause the page fault handler to be invoked ( https://www.kernel.org/doc/gorman/html/understand/understand... ). There are many reasons the page fault h

It is bounded by available memory. Writes to a socket go to a FIFO queue (the socket's write buffer), but writes to disk are different; they go through the page cache ( https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest&#

Sequences of whitespace are not collapsed when using "white-space: pre-wrap", which more and more sites are using (e.g. Facebook). https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/white-space

Why can't I type two spaces after the period and let the software figure out how to typeset it? That's how it worked for years in html, then sites like facebook come along and use "white-space: pre-wrap" to force the ex

Seems like a compressor would solve your problem nicely -- the quiet parts stay the same level and the loud parts get quieter.

Can you not find an ISA Ethernet card and copy the files over the network? There are plenty of TCP stacks out there -- I was even able to use ssh when I tried it years ago (though I had to use ssh v1 and increase the handshake timeout since

I had not heard of Rumble but my kids like watching Lofi Girl on YouTube (they like the cartoon cat). I noticed yesterday that one of the Lofi Girl live streams was just black. I wonder if this is related. The Rumble Roku app seems strange

Time to interact matters as much as (perhaps even more than?) time to display; I would rather wait a little bit longer for the page to display than have the page display immediately but behave erratically until everything has settled.

I was also expecting something about buying heavier weight paper, something I thought I remembered reading about on HN in the past. I remember reading this post too -- it opened my eyes to just how hard a problem optimizing page loads can

I wonder how much of that 3MB came from the Google+ integration (the post was 2012 and three years prior would be 2009; G+ was 2011). I also wonder how much of that 3MB affects time-to-video-play vs being loaded after the video starts.

The one thing that makes me scratch my head is that the page generally loads quickly, but videos load and play slowly. Rewinding a video to a point that I've already played causes the spinner to show up for what feels like a eternity

If the origin of life is no different than the origin of hurricanes, could this be taken one step further to say that there might be some self- replicating wind phenomenon on some planet out there? We typically assume that life necessarily

Why is it cheating to use a buffer? This is the behavior you would get in C if you used the C standard library (putc/fputc) instead of a system call (write).

Social media as we know it today didn't exist in 1999 when the Columbine high school shooting happened. That's the first mass school shooting in my memory, though Wikipedia lists several before that, as far back as the late 80s.
